No sooner had his pursuers left
the room than Dugan entered and
made another haul. Then he dis

sent a confederate to "hock the

got too strong hold on him. In

pal might throw him down, Dugan
returned to his detective makeup
and when his confederate returned
took the swag from him. BY this
time Dugan seemed tired of green
whislecrs and took to a naked pis-
toll The detectives had returned,
bringing the tel.tale pawn ticket.
However, armed with his little
sure-shot, Dugan got the paper
away from him. Then he laid
hands on everything else In the

To mention all their names and from
what source they came would require
too much space and pencil dust, SO will
abbreviate the subject by stating that

ing both sexes and divers ages, number

the almanac as a special visiting Sunday,

Monday and Tuesday were two rather
Interesting days, in this locality at least.
While our employment was in the field
planting beans, crew of men were put
ting in the iron bridge over the Little
Androscoggin, as it was voted in town
meeting; then the woodman's ak was
heard telling trees for pulpwood, and
what made the time still more interest
ing was the drumming of two woodpeck-
ers and q partridge, each apparently
doing his best to turn out the most pop
ular bird music.
Wednesday gave US series of show
ers, but none of much account, while
Thursday was cool and pleasant. On
that morning Frank Brooks drove up to
the door with his mare team, accom-
panied by fine four weeks old colt,
which was quite curiosity to the kids,
since it is seldom they see free show of
that kind. Sixty years ago there were
seen on the road half dozen colts where
there Is one now. Why all this falling
off In raising horses?
Strawberries have now taken the place
of rhubarb for sauce and fine crop

The concert by the little folks was espe-
cially fine. The opening piece, long
solo song by little seven year-old Far
mum girl, and alternated by the organ,
excelled anything In that line we ever
listened to; not a mistake nor hitch
from the opening to the close. The
same little girl had part In several
other pieces, doing equally as well In
them all.
Several weeks ago mention was made
of prolific old sheep owned by Moses

averaging ten pounds each. How is that
