clever work of the company.
George Ovey, who took the part of a

as comedian. Helen Paine as the
Moon Girl also won the good graccs
of the crowd. The entertainment on the
whole was very good, and when the

be given a glad hand.

Features..fo
Readfield Fair.

Read6eld, Me, Sept. 13.-The man
agement of the Eeunebec County Ag-
ricuitural Society. which will hold its
18th annual exhibition at Readfleid on
Sept. &c, q and %. is actively engaged
in perfecting plans for that event
one of the many new features which
the patrons of the fair will see on that
occasion will be an exhibition of wire
less telegfa ply, as q contract has just
been closed by the society for tile in
stallation of o complete wireless tele-
graph outfit on the fair grounds at
Readfield for use during the entire
three days of the exhibition. This will
afford splendid opportunity for those
interested in this useful modern Won
der to examine fully the perplexing
and their wonderfully
| mysterious workings. This is the only
| fair in the State which will make an
exhibit of this most wonderful inven-
| ton.
Another feature which cannot fail
of being of great interest is the series
of two games of baseball between Win
throp and Wayne for the champion
| ship of western Kennebee county.
There is much feeling between these
two teams and their respective sup
porters as to which is the better team
and most strenuous contests are look
ed for. The last game played by these
two teams was played at Wayne and
went il innings, Wayne finally winning
by n score of 1 to 0. So intense is the
feeling over the merits of these re-
fSDectfVe teams one Wayno fan of
ifered a wager Of 800 that his team
would win in this contest and his Of
fer was promptly accepted by a Win
tthrop supporter. These games will bs
held at 10 O'Clock on Wednesday and
Thursday forenoons and the outcome
lis awaited with much interest.

WOMEN AT TICKET WINDOWS
Ticket seller Notes Change in the
Ways of Many at the
Present Day,

within recent years said a ticket
seller, quoted by the New York Sun, "a
vast change has come about in the ways Of
women at the ticket window.
you've read it, no doubt; about how
she comes up and calmly opens hand
bag and deliberately abstracts from it a
purse, which she opens with exasperating
GOODNESS and from which she extracts, after
much searching with gloved fingers, a coin,
which may be say half a dollar. Then, as
the Old story runs, she snaps her purse to-
gether and restores that to her hand bag
which then after time, she closes; and
then at last she lays that half dollar down
on the window ledge and is ready to buy a
ticket, while the long line waiting behind
her is ready to go completely off its head.
she buys a ticket, the lady does, and
the ticket seller, not hastily, but certainly
with promptness, shoves out the ticket and
the change. And does the lady then
promptly gather mp the same and make
way for the anxious waiting? Wei, really
the story is as yet only half told
Now she opens her hand bag again and
aaan o~tracts her purse ana opens that
and now, with delightful GOODNESS and free
dom from dash worry or excitement. she
begins with her gIoved fingers slowly 10
