The Telephone

Don't add to your troubles the inconvenience of doing without a Telephone.
 There is no department of business, professional or in- dustrial life in which 1t is not an essential part.
 No community, however small, can enjoy the full ad- vantages of modern life with out including the Telephone. By its use to the needs of humanity 1t has proved its claims to rank as one of the necessaries of life.
 The farmer who wants to make his farm more profit able and life more pleasant for his family should have a Telephone in his home. NEWARK TELEPHONE

Freak Foxes Don't Breed Freak Foxes.

The Calais Advertiser offers this bit OF
information to would-be fox breeders:
The st. John Standard tells OF . man
who arrived on Grand Manan two or
three weeks ago with two black foxes IN
his possession, which he valued ut $lZ'-
600. This man was enthusiastic on the
subject of raising and breeding black
foxes for the market, as each skin woulo
readily bring from one to five thousand
dollars. On the strength Of this asser-
ton, tho Standard says, one man ID
Grand Mauan who has been extensively
engaged In breeding red foxes. Will
abandon that and 60 into breeding black
foxes. Now We will venture to wager
bat with that gentleman that II be has
the luck to procure two black foxes to
breed from, and has the good fortune to
raise 10O, 900 foxes, he will get 90, 800 red
foxes, Notwithstanding the fact that ne
star,ed with black foxes. It 10 we'll
known fact that black and silver gray
| foxes are simply freaks Of Nature. There
| Ia only one variety OF fox known 70
naturalists, and that ID the common REQ
fox. Mr.. Seton Thompson 10 the au'
thority for this statement, and there ID
none better. A mans chance OF getting
. black or silver gray fox would be one
lin . million. And again, tho fabulous
prices said to have been paid for oises
and silver gray fox skins 10 oil rot. q,
black fox skin In perfect condition VIII
bring from $500 to $500, and . silver
gray brings $50 to $500.

Two Hold.Ups Reported.

Hold-up men, rare things about here,
were plenty on the road between South
Paris and Hebron Saturday night,
according to reports.
As Ralph Turner and Harold Wood OF
Norway were driving toward South Paris
on that road about Z o'clock, just this
side of Mr.. Parks farm q man stepped
out of the bushes and took the horse by
the bride. One of the boys was sitting
somewhat slouched down on the seaat,
and when he Strengthened up the man
let 90 the horses bride and stepped
back. The boys whipped up the horse
and drove along. In relating the expert
ence the boys said the man was negro,
but the darkness may have had some
thing to do with that impression.
At about the same time Mrs. q. A.
Jersey, her daughter, Miss Eva Dudley,
and Mrs. Joe Record, were returning
from South Paris to their home near
Halls Pond, and not far from S. p.
Maxim's barn on the meadow near G. b.
Penley's man seized the bride OF their
horse. The women screamed, and just
al that time Turner and Wood came
along and the hold-up man disappeared.
The boys turned their team and drove
home with the women, who were con-
siderably scared, before continuing on
their own way.
Nothing was said BY the man who
seized the bride, in either case.
Frank Turner and his daughter, Miss
Ada Turner, were returning home from
South Paris, evidently little later, and
not far from the G. II. Penley place they
met a man on foot and looked at him
carefully. He was tall, dark man with
a beard, and had some sort OF pack on
his back. Mr.. Turner at the time made
the remark that the man looked like one
who wasn't out for any good purpose.
Il was evident that 1t could not have
been the same man who held up both
teams, as Turner and Wood drove right
along after they were tackled.
