Paris died on Monday, Sept. 2Srd, ct 8 80
P. NJ, ut the Central Maine General

weeks she had been for treatment, and
although her condition was considered
serious, her death was unexpected. Miss

an orphan In childhood she was for
several years kindly cared for In the
home Of tho late Reuben Whitman Of
Woodstock, but for the past twenty.
nine years she has enjoyed the affection
and privileges Of . home with Ar. and
Mrs. A. L. Tubbs. Always delicate In
health, Of quiet and unassuming manner,
she chose to spend her life largely In the
retirement Of home, yet she made many
friends who loved and respected the
many splendid qualities Of her character,
and will unite with her home family In
regretting her death. Her funeral was
held on Wednesday at 80 from the
homo of Mr.. and Mrs. Tubbs, and was
quite largely attended. Rev. A. T.
McWhorter, pastor OF the Congrega-
tional church, which she attended, spoke
comforting words, taking as q basis OF
bis thoughts the 23rd Psalm. Mrs
Herman Wilson sweetly sang three
favorite selections. There was large
profusIon of beautiful flowers. The In
terment was In the Kinsley lot 10 River
side Cemetery. Miss Owen is survived
by two aunts, Mrs. John W. Whitman
OF Mechanic Falls and Mrs. Elizabeth
Stearns Of Cambridge, Mass, and one
nephew, q. L. Ridlou Of West Paris.

The w. c. T. U. Convention.

South Paris sent eight of the 225 vot-
ing delegates at the state w. Z. 1. U.
convention at Auburn last week. 1t was
as Elizabeth Gordon said, "a lovely con-
yention," favored by ideal weather and
a fine entertaining church.
The perfect organization, the years of
experience, the permanent zeal and the
wonderful leader, continue to make the
workings of the state convention almost
a model of efficiency and courtesy.
Large delegations from Aroostook,
Washington and other distant counties
in the state testify to their interest.
Some delegates came from the Fedora
tiops of Women's Clubs in session at
Bath this same week.
Mrs. Katharine Lunt Stevenson OF Bos-
ton addressed large meeting Thursday
evening. Her address, delivered with
womanly spirit and brilliancy, was q
mastery and logical plea for Maine to
continue to uphold her proud motto,

years tour Of the world in the interests
of temperance, and knows whereof she
speaks.

spring hour Friday afternoon. Little
Leo LYONS of Portland sang two solos
with his wonderful flute-like voice.
The music throughout the convention
was of high order. Sarah Hall Herrlcs
of Cambridge, Mass, &C usual led al
the singing and gave several solos,.

we're to start from there. I prepared q
box OF eatables, a table cloth, salt, bread,
butter and few dishes, knives and FORKS

guides were to furnish US with trout
which did not seem to be very plenty,
but they got enough small ones to give
us nice dinner with the other food
which 1 had.
l took the boards from the little boat,
spread the table cloth on after / had laid
them across one end of the boat, and
while they were getting the fish, made
my table look as dainty as I could with
bread, butter, strawberries, cream and
sugar. The tea was put in tin pail, q
FIRE built near big pine log, and then
the pail hung on.
The fish were nicely dressed and fast
ened on two or three sticks which look.
I'd something like a two.tined fork and
then placed before the flee to cook. 1
