Certain colors stimulate the appe-

white fish,, are stimulating; but all
foods artificially colored green appear

BETWEEN TWO STRAWS.
Small Boy Who Should Have Acted
as a Cider Relay Station.

"As a boy near Cape Cod / lived near
an old cider MILL" says a writer in the
Metropolitan. The hard old Yankee
who owned this mill told the boys that if
we would pick three barrels of Seeding
apples he would give us all the cider we
could suck through a straw.
Il have had ambitions in my day but
do not recall any more hopeful than
that 40 year-od one of putting rye
straw as middleman between my mouth
and cider tank. though | would not to-
dav permit cider on my farm
We picked the apples and delivered
them, but the old Yankee drove US out of
the mill and told us we must suck from
the outside. We found a knothole in a
board near the tank. and down in Uncle
Daniels grain field was rye straw of
great length.
we ran this through the knOthole,
took a long breath-and out came the old
Yankee and caught us at 1t; He TOOK
three old rails and some boards and built
a fence around that knothole.
II do not know so much about the
modern boy, but down Cape Cod way 4d
years ago we had to do things. The
smallest boy crawled like woodchuck
inside that fence. He ran our long straw
ped in the cidar tank and he put the
other end in one side of his mouth
Then he put another straw In the
other side of his mouth and ran that out
between the fence boards. 1t was a case
OF pull on the straw connected with the
cider and push through the other with
the rest of us on the outside, struggling
for a place at the straw.
"There was my first experience with a
middleman. and l have lived to know
that they are all alike. That boys ann
bition was to obtain his own supply OF
cider. He then lost interest in the Job

WILLIAMSON AND PATIANGALL
Fare Especially Well in Assignment Of
Seats.

The drawing of seats by the new
Representatives was an interesting
preliminary to the organization of the
House and was made especially so by
the altogether different arrangement of
seats in the new hall of the House of
Representatives from what prevailed
in the old hall.
The seats are arranged in curving
rows, seven in number, with % seats
in all the rows except the last, which
has II. making the total number two
more than enough to seat all the mem
bers of the House. They are num-
bered from left to right of the Speak
era desk.
Seat No. / at the extreme left of the
front row was drawn by MeCurdy of
Lubec. Williamson of Augusta was
the most fortunate among the Demo-
cratic leaders drawing Seat II. direct
ly under the eye Of the Speaker. Pat
tangall of Waterville was another one
OF the big chiefs getting a good assign
ment, drawing 81 in the third row. the
left of the House and about midway
OF the row.
Peters of Ellsworth drew No. s,
Strickland of Bangor, No. IS. Hersey
of Houlton, No. 20. Scates of West
brook. No. 46. Otis of Rockland, No.
II. Murphy of Portland, No. 35.
Kennebec county Representatives
drew seats as follows: Skehan of Au-
gusta. As; Gamache of Waterville, 125;
Files of Gardiner, Sc; Dutton of China,
1873; Mower Of Vassalboro, 131; Trask
of Chelsea. 12l; Clearwater of Halo
well, II; Macomber of Winthrop, 1902:
Berry of Fayette, 81; Drummond of
Winslow, AZ; Libby of Oakland, 2S.
The seats drawn by the Somerset
county delegates are as follows:
Thompson of Skowhegan, 12 Lawry of
Fairfield, 1856; Pollard of Solon, 1872;

old Gays.
The Greeks were moderate drinkers
until they began to copy the luxury OF
the Pcrsian feasts. The Romans imi-
tated the Greeks. Then the whole
world went on a mad drunk. IT was a
satUrnalia.
In the beginning IL wrong was
thought of drinking, and the moralists
even advised drink To dispel melan-
choly. Hippocrates upheld drinking
and earnestly advised people to drown
their sorroWs in vine.

Tie Romans carried er-indulgence
to an extreme never equaled in anoth-

CIauGius was noted for the rare
wines he seryed. He often had 800
guests at his table. Like Tibeiius. he

1t will be remembered that mention
was made last week Of Jerry hills
difficulty n making returns on collec-
lions he had made. 1t developed later
that Jerry had taken a trip to Mandan
and at the instance of members of his
family he came back, and Immediately
set himself 10 work to make amends for
his mistake.
The bills that Jerry had from R. B.
Pelton amounted to about S140 and of
these he made collection of some $50,
turning in. as he states. some $34, leav-
ing a shortage OF but SIC. The bills
have been turned back to Mr.. Pelton
and the SIC guaranteed.

that he has Strengthened up the affair,
and he says it will be a lesson that he
will always remember. He seems like
a well meaning young man and it
seemed only necessary for friends to
point out his duty in this matter.

1t is then that the witch doctor is ex-

hideous state it Is not to be wondered
at that he strikes terror into the
naidens' hearts as he dances wildly
in the dim freight, glazing at them
with 1endish eyes. The timid young
creatures are like the hare which trem-
bles as the lowering bird of prey lut-

and the erstwhile playful, willful child
is transformed in most cases into a
frightened creature, with. for the time
