THE BUCKSPORT STREET FAIR.

The street fair given on Seminary hill
Bucksport, August 18th, was one of the
best of the out. of-door entertainments
given by local people for many years.
Nearly 1000 attended, coming from
other towns. 1t was fine night and
people from other places who came
in buckboards, autos and hayracks had a
good ride both ways. At noon the street
parade, with the band of gypsies and
their wares, attracted great attention.
At O'Clock the Bucksport band paraded
Main street to the fair on the hill. By
7 O'Clock nearly all the tables of food,
candy and ice cream, including the noted
fish chowder, were entirely bare and not
thing but ''tin' ware was for sale. The
Maypole exercise was the greatest at
traction; the singing by various artists
and banjo playing was excellent. The
Bucksport band played a fine concert,
which was very much enjoyed by all.
The receipts were about 5000, fully up
to expectations.

and the remark about the riding light in

that his feelings were not too deeplv in

these were the only bursts of sentiment

sight of drink, which never failed to
make them sparkle and glisten. And to-

That the Christmas tree effect was all
lost on him the next morning was
evidenced by the following remark with

His unfriendly and suspicious attitude
toward every human being we encounter

him to because chummy or scarcely civil
to any one during the time was with
him, though we were constantly meeting
people keenly interested in our voyage,

Plans for the State Convention at
Auburn,


Plans are being made for an excep-
tionally interesting program at the an
nual session of the Maine State w. c..
7. u, which will convene in Auburn the
latter part of September, the place of
meeting being the High street Congrega-
tional church.
The addresses of welcome and re-
sponses and the address of the president,
Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens of Portland, will
take place as usual on the opening night,
and it is understood that Mrs. George F.
French of Portland, one of Names most
prominent women, will respond to the
words of greeting from the city. Mrs.
French formerly lived in Lewiston, was
a successful teacher in the grammar
friends there, who will be delighted of
an opportunity to hear her.
1t will be pleasure to all W. C. T. U.
workers, especially the children, to know
that Miss Anna Gordon, vice president

at the head of the Young Campaigners
program.
Mrs. Katherine Lent Stevenson, presi-
dent of the Massachusetts w. C. T. u,
Mrs. Stevenson recently went around
the world in the interest of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union and her ad-
dresses have much of general interest in
them.
1t is hoped that Mrs. E. M. Lawrence,
a prominent W. c. T. U. worker, whose
romantic marriage was the result of last
years campaign, will be present, and it
is also possible that Mr.. Lawrence may
attend. Mrs. Lawrence has lately been
very ill and it is, therefore, not positive
that she will be able to participate in the
program.

MUST PAY FOR PAPERS TAKEN.
Missouri Court Rules in Favor of Newspaper
Publishers,

During the last term Of the circuit
court at Atchison county, Missouri, the
case of H. F. Staple VS.. Charles Traub
was tried. The suit was brought on
long-standing account and among other
items was l6 years subscription for the
Atchison County Mail Mr.. Traub re-
fused to pay for the Mail, claiming he
did not take the paper, and that he had
refused to take the paper from the post
office and mail box a number of times.
The plaintiff proved by postmasters,
deputy postmasters and others that Mr..
Iraub did take the paper during all the
16 years. In the case it was shown that
according to law, even if subscriber
does occasionally order a newspaper dis
continued or refuse to accept it, he can
not get out of paying what he owes for
the paper, and the subscriber must pay
the arrearage before stopping the paper.
The jury in this case was out only a
short time and brought in a verdict for
the entire account, including the sub
scription for the Mail-16 years at $3.50
a year, or S24. The costs in the justice
court and the circuit court amounted to
about 500 besides the attorney fees.
A similar case has been decided by the
court of appeals and it was held in that
case that any one taking a newspaper
must pay for it as long as they take it
from the postoffice.
There have been many similar decisions,
and while this relates to subscriptions in
arrears, the following from the Piscata-
quis Observer regarding subscriptions
paid in advance is worth consideration
The Observer says:
AS a matter of fact, laid in advance
subscription is valuable asset and i'm
proves the subscribers financial stand
ing. The writer seldom fails to notice
the credit slip on paper which he takes
up in home or an office, but did not
realize that others might do the same
until retired merchant told his expert
ence.
He said that when people came into his
store and left basket of eggs, he would
examine the newspaper that was gen
orally in it and if the slip showed the
subscription to be in arrears, he was
cautious about giving the person credit,
and he was generally correct in his judg
ment.
So when your subscription is paid in
advance, you can not only feel that you
are reading your own paper, but that the
date on it will be good credit rating if
it goes to store in an egg basket.

Antiquity Of rheumatism.

It may not greatly console modern

lished the fact that rheumatism was
as common among our ancestors OF
the polished stone age as It is at the
present time" Researches made by
Dr. Marcel Badouin or neolithic bu-
rial place at Vendrest left no doubt
that thirty baekbones among one hun
dred skeletons showed the effects Of
this disease. The skeletons of the
women showed that the left side was
the more often affected. while the
men seem to show the effects on the
right side. DR.. Badouin's paper con-
cluded that the affection which now
adays is called osteoarthritis diffor-
mans is the Oldest known disease. It
has been found in the cave of bear
at Ariege. the oldest quaternary stra-

MEAT SHIFTS DOG FROM BOY
Mad Shepherds Attack Stayed Just
Long Enough to Rescue Lad
From Possible Death.

Coatesville, Pa.-The fact that he
was delivering meat for his father
saved James, twelve-year-old son of
William Snyder, from the fangs of
a mad shepherd dog which had start
ed to attack the lad.
When the dog sprang at young
Snyder the boy with quick wit seized
an order from his express wagon and
tossed 1t to the raving animal. This
diverted the dogs attention to the
load of meat, but instead of eating
any he merely went into canine
hysteria over 1t.
Albert Ffahardy, clerk In Main
street store, saw the boys plight and
with brick struck the dog In the
head, and Charles Dunleavy, con
tractor, ended the animals life with
pick. Before attacking the boy the
dog ran amuck and bit a number Of
other dogs.
