lengths" now being sold In all the
shops at prices varying from two-fifty
to seven dollars. Some Of these may
be left-overs from last spring, but 1t
matters little II the weave 10 soft, the
color light and the model used up to
date. One great shop recently had a
sale Of these lengths, with other
counters showing the trimmings, but
tons. braids or laces that would be
needed for the various textures. Some
were winter things, some seemed to
belong to q generation ago, and
there were single buttons and some
wisps of gold and silver trimming no
more than six inches long. Yet out OF
the tumble one woman selected
enough matching materials to make
SIX distinct gowns, the charming half

Everything. in fact, is grist nowadays

and buy. and there 10 no denying the
immense. advantage of the annual
shop sales to small purses.

have sought, but all In vain
| To find my perfect day.

There a cheering word unspOken,
|me kindly deed I've left und0ne;
Some promise | have broken.
j still undaunted, my soul and /,
|And each morn as l kneel | pray
Rant, o Father. that this
Nay be a perfect day."

in Maine of the War of 1872 died in a
Lewiston hospital, last week. She was
Mrs. Ida Leach, so or more years of age.
She drew. government pension because
of her husbands serving in the War of
1872. He was an aged man when she
married him, old enough to have been
her grandfather, it is said. She was a
native of New Brunswick, had lived
alone in Lewiston for many years since
the death of her husband. Brothers and
sisters in the West survive.
The town of New Vineyard is shak-
ing hands with itself in joyful antici-
patton of the coming of the electric
light. The poles have been set, the
wire strung, the transformer placed
in position, and the surrent will be
turned on in a few days. Regarding
the coming of the new light the
Franklin Journal says: A number of
houses have been already wired in
anticipation of this event and ar
rangements have been made for lights
on the streets and in the shops. Fiji

the bandits clambering up to the side

car. the packages hidden, Burgett
turned his attention to the invaders
who now had abandoned for time
their firing into the car. AS burgett
fired at them the robbers reached
through the smashed windows and
loosaned the catch which held the door
from the inside. Then they opened the
door and sprang into the car firing
on Burgett as they advanced. The
messenger leaped behind baggage and
met the robbers, shot for shot.
The train had attained speed of
about 80 miles an hour and appar-
emily hone of the crew knew that a

Roosevelt headquarters.
Fred W. Upham of Chicago, assistant
treasurer of the Republican national
committee in 1905 was the next witness.
Upham said he knew nothing of 1904
