Dr. Jennie Fuller of Hartland, a
member of the executive board of the
Maine Woman Suffrage Association
was among those who started from
New York for the state capitol at Al
bany, and Il letter received at Port
land from DIR. Fuller stated that she
was at Nonkers for luncheon. DIR. Full
Ter said it was great fun. and she car
ried a staff and a knapsack, as did the
others. DIR. Fuller passes great deal
of time in Portland, and her friends
here will be much interested in her
account of the trip.
The Cambridge correspondent of the
Pittsfteld Advertiser states that some
time the past summer one of John La
Bree's lambs got strayed away from
the flock. got lost in the woods down
towards Mainstream and became wild.
Mr.. LaBree paid no more attention To
it, supposing it WAS dead. There were
some French people camping down to-
wards Mainstream and they run
across the lamb one day, wild as a
deer. The Frenchman reported it at
the village and was told 1t was Il
skunk or rabbit. but the Frenchman
was positive it was 4 lamb, and gave
his reasons how he knew. Mar wife

and safely lowed to port With the

it is no small matter to tow a vessel.
at is much harder to get TO one and
then take her go miles to port But
this was the feat pulled off by the An
droscoggin under command of Capt.
Frederick chamberlain Billiard. The
two master Lavolta and the three

craft rescued and both owed their ex-
istance today to the timely arrival of
the big cutter from Portland. 1t prov

Capt. Billiard, who had just taken com

pens a cutter may not have a chance
to rescue two schooners in a whole sea
son. I'VE had pretty good luck, was
the way Capt. Billiard expressed it.

PAMPAS PIUMES.

All the early travellers to South
America, especially Peru. never for.
get to mention in describing THAI
country the luxuriant Pampas Plumes
that grow wild on the Pampas or
plains. Later visitors to California
were enthusiastic over the flower gar.
dens. California, a country famous for
flowers, where the Pampas Plumes
are cultivated, they grow many times
larger than in their native country,
resembling a beautiful Ostrich Plume.
The manager OF the California Cars
that are to visit our city soon has
been fortunate in securing a limited
number OF this beautiful product OF
nature. and will present one each to
the first fifty married ladies' who have
paid admission tickets each day dur.
Ing their stay here.
There has been a change in the
date Of the arrival of the California
exhibit at Bennington. The cars will
arrive here Tuesday, Dec. "a, and
will remain at the Rutland railroad
station for four days. The exhibit
has been sent out by four California
counties north of San Francisco TO
show the eastern farmer what can be
done without irrigation. In order to
limit the attendance at the exhibit to
persons who are interested an admis-
sion price Of Is cents for adultes and
Is cents for children under Is years
has been made.

progressed rapidly this week and CLASSES
are running with practically the same
regularity as will be observed through
out the year. The high school enroll
ment is ll2 which IL exactly the enroll

The enlarging OF the commercial
course and the unusual size OF the new
eighth grade class has caused consider

class rooms for the various classes.
Every available room is in use, and
the Office of the principal will have TO

BOXES OF BRONZE LEATHER
ReceptacIes for Spoois, Thfmbfe and
Needles That All Little Girls
Will Appreciate.

Extremely attractive in that partic-
ular way that girls very much like
are the tiny little bronze leather
boxes which are made to hold spools
Of thread, thimble and needles. These
are meant for little mending kits to
put in ones bag when one is visiting
for a few days. The boxes are very
small some of them containing only
black silk and white thread, while 9th
ers have a row of four or five spools.
They have lids Of the leather, and the
edges of the box are bound with mar
row satin ribbon or with silk or silk
braid. The boxes are long and mar
row and the lids are hinged to them
by the ribbon binding, which is sewed
together at the end.
Some of the boxes are the same
width through the length, and others
are tapered at one end. The boxes
which are meant for more than one
spool are usually the same width
throughout. The width is just enough
to admit a spool being put in side
ways. When only one spool is to be
put in the box it goes in lengthwise.
