Bible class of the First Baptist

at a neighbors until all was in readi-
ness. The house was in entire dark
ness when she entered and the sud
den flashing on of the light revealed
to her surprised gaze a circle of
expectant friends with Mrs. PhilO
Steward at the piano. Mrs. Steward
at once began playing Mendellsohn' S
Wedding march. Then Mrs. Steward
began reading to Miss Allen a series
of verses, each of which designated
some place to search for a gift Miss

in well and the mysterious bundles
brought back from each quest
created considerable merriment. At

anything from a woodchuck to a
moose. We we're driving along at a
fair rate of speed when Mr.. Seekins
cried out, Look, look" and the two
men got their guns ready to fire just
as a partridge few out from under
the front wheels of the automobile
No bullets were wasted.
At Bigelow we came alongside the
Carrabassett River. On the opposite
side was the Sandy river and Range
ley narrow gauge railway. For
about thirty-five miles we followed
alongside the river and in sight of
the railroad. After Sheriff Mooers
found out that his game was not
forthcoming he broke out to telling
"reminiscences. Mr.. Mooers, by the
way, for several years had made this
circuit by team as a drummer. He
seemed to have a desire to tell
stories about the railroad He said
one time he took a team and drove
up to Bigelow from Kingfield Mrs
Mooers took the train. When he was
part way up he heard the train COM
ing and when it got along opposite
to him on the other side, Mrs
Mooers put her head out of the win
dow ar they We're able to talk
back and forth for some distance
Another story he told was that a
New Yorker took the train to go up
into the northern country on a fish
ing trip. After they had left King
field and time commenced to drag on
his hands he took his fishing rod,
putting it together, and having some
bait with him, stuck it out the win
dow. The train ran so near the
river that he was able to troll in it
from the train for several miles, and
before he got to Bigelow he caught
large string of trout. Another New
Yorker, or this one might have been
a Bostonian, was going up to Eustis
one fall on a hunting trip and as he
sat in t." ttain, sleepily looking ort,
he saw Of in the far end of . field
n deer He called the conductor g
attention 20 il and the con ,ctor said
"Why don't you go and shoo1 him?"
and Immediately pulled the cord to
the engine and the train stopped and
the hunter went and shot the deer.
Passengers helped him load it on the
train and they went on.

Maine Central-MOntrea Service

The through Parlor Car service to
Montreal and the west, inaugurated
by the Maine Central Railroad, in
connection with the Boston
and Maine Railroad, and the
Canadian Pacific Railways, is
meeting with pronounced success. A
high-grade, electrically lighted Par
lor Pullman Car performing buffet
service runs through daily, except
Sundays, leaving Portland at $50 a,
m. arriving at Montreal 8 p. m.
This train affords close connection
at Montreal with trains to the west,
via Canadian Pacific Railway, to
Chicago via Detroit, to st. Paul and
Minneapolis via the 500 Line, and
via the Transcontinental Line of the
Canadian Pacific Railway to all
Pacific coast points.
Trains carrying Standard sleeping
cars, Tourist sleeping cars, and
coaches, where connection with the
Portland Montreal train at Windsor
st. station in Montreal can be made
affords one of the best mediums for
travel between State of Maine points
and all points west.

Of the recent State election on ths
repeal Of Names constitutional pro-

heard, the last meeting of the Gov

in this already much discussed sub
jeot.
1t has been suggested that if the
question of whether the returns
from Limestone, Athens, Westfield
and Matinicus may be corrected on
such town records as We're produced
by the clerks of those towns is sub
mitted TO the court the result will
be an anti-repeal victory in any
event.
If the returns from those towns
are admittedly wrong and no record
exists whereby they may be correct
ed, the effect would be to eliminate
the vote of these four towns for
both sides from the count, it is
claimed by persons who have closely
followed developments.
Such an event would leave a
plurality of 366 against the repeal
of the constitutional amendment. If
the court concludes that the returns
may be corrected on the strength of
the records, the result will be 75S
against repeal, instead of 26 in favor,
as tabuated frcm the official re-
turns, in which in four instances the
town clerks have declared that they

THIS YEAR.

There will be some excitement.
There will be some exciting excite.
ment, too.
Tower is going to pitch for Bis
marck.
Mandan thinks it already has the
game cinched.
There appears to be a different
opinion held In Bismarck.
Tomorrow afternoon along about 6
O'Clock one of those opinions will
have proved to be no good.
There will be q big crowd at the
game.
Bismarck will supply large mum.
Der of the crowd.
And they will fan some.'
If noise is going to help any, Bis
marck will be all to the good.
Mandan will probably have hol-
Ter coming" also.
There will be one side that will be
able to laugh after the game is over.
The other side Will have to take
their medicine and look pleasant"
Mandan has perfect record for
games won.
Bismarck hasn't.
The White Sox will try and put a
dent in that perfection attributed to
Mandan.
The game will be called during the
afternoon obout half past three, and
No. Z, leaving here 13 minutes to 3,
will be about the proper train for
tho Bismarck fans to get on.
There will be seven extra cars to
accommodate the crowd.
You may have to walk back, but it
will be all right.
II we win the walk will seem but q
few steps, and if We lose there will
probably not be money enough in the
entire outfit to buy a ticket.
