Getting Ready for
The Newcomer.

During the long hours OF every day
in which | was alone | occupied my
self In the making Of clothes for my
baby-buyng linen and flannel and
worsted, and borrowing patterns from
my Welsh laudlady.
This stimulated my tenderness to-
ward the child that was to come, for
the heart Of young mother is al
most infantile, and hardly know
whether to laugh or cry when think
Of the childish things did and
thought and said to myself in those
HrJt days when I was alone in my
room in that back street in Bays

continue it in Hearst's Magazine for July, just out

up who went up and down the street
tapping at the bedroom windows with
long pole like a fishing rod A
little before six you heard the clash
ing OF many front doors and the
echoinR footsteps Of the men going
you heard the whoop Of the milkman
and the rafting OF his cans At half
past eight you heard the little feet
Of the children, like the pattering Of
round the corner. And a little after
four IN the afternoon you heard the
Wild cries Of the entire juvenile com
munity let loose from lessons, the
boys running iron hope and the
girls skipping rope.
After that. our street hummed like
a beehive. with the women. washed
and combed, standing knitting at
their, open doors or exchanging con
fdenccs across the areas until dark
ness fell, and each Of the mothers
called her children in to bed, as an
old hen in the farmyard cIucks up
her chickens.
These good creatures were very
kind TO me Having satisfied them
selves from observation to my habits
that I was "respecta BILE" they called
me our lady" and I could not help

Daniel Flanders

The death of Daniel Flanders occur
red Tuesday on his home on Maple
street after an illness covering about
one year His age was 70 years. On
Friday last he underwent a surgical
operation from the effects of which he
seemed to rally at first but later grew
worse.
The deceased was born in Cornville
and went to Chicago when about 90
years of age. There he became the
owner of the Chicago City Express
and had practically entire control of
all the express business in that city.
One serious misfortune which he met
with in Chicago was the great fire in
which he lost everything. About ten
years ago he returned to Maine on &C
count of his mother and was located
for a time in Gardiner. He later
moved to a farm in Norridgewock
where he continued to make his home
until few months ago when he dis
posed of his property and came to
Skowhegan, where his death occurred
In religious belief Mr.. Flanders was
a Baptist. He was member of the
Masonic fraternity and the Knights
of Pythias, and was also veteran OF
the Civil War, having served in the
10th and Goth Maine regiment
Beside a widow formerly Miss Mary
Davis of Cornville there are the fol-
lowing children, Frank N. Flanders,
Pittsield Mass. Mrs. Belle Tibbetts,
Brunswick. Mrs. F. L. Horne, Nor
ridgewock, Mrs. c. NJ. Dale. Gardiner
and W. B. Flanders, Lynn, Mass. With
the exception of the first mentioned
all the members of the family
reached his bedside and were recog-
nized before death occurred. One
sister Mrs. Marilla Fairbrother of
Portland also survives.
The funeral was held today at the
home, Rev. George Merriam offieiat
ing and the remains were taken to
Gardiner for interment.

A BARBER SHOP IN THE
CHURCH
North Arson Merchants Supplying the
Needs Of the Community. Situa-
tiOnS are Novel Ones

A barber shop in a church is rather
unusual but such is the case at North
Arson at the present time. The ap-
palling fire of last week in that town
has caused an entire change in the
business life of the community, con
sequently the removed of a barber
shop to the Congregational church.
The postoflice outfit has been installed
in the Methodist church there and it
has been said a larger percentage OF
citizens now go to church than ever
before
North Arson merchants are pluckily
starting to supply the needs of the vii
lage. The Grange building is Jointly
occupied by c. w. Rogers, dealer in
dry goods. Porter K Msrston. grocers
and Walter Waite, dealer in hardware
and although their entire stocks were
destroyed by the fire of Tuesday morn
ing, each dealer now has a small stock
on hand. The village lookup is occu-
pied by NJ. l., French dealer in cloth
ing. F. H. Holley has re-opened his
drug business in the public library
building.
The needs of the village in the fruit
line are supplied by a store in a tent,
and Judge Simmons has opened a law
Office in his residence on Elm street.
Talk of rebuilding is already begin
ming to be heard Some of the build
ings destroyed will be rebuilt without
question. but at present there is one
serious obstacle to a general rebuild
ing and that is the fact that the vii
lage has no fire protection. Said a
prominent citizen: If we can have
water works a greater part of the
business blocks destroyed will be re-
built, otherwise not
The matter of waterworks has been
agitated on several occasions in the
past but owing to strong sentiment
in the rural sections of the town
against extra expense. the matter has
been voted down. A significant fact
that it is though may appeal to
the rural voters is that nearly one
eighth of the total valuation of the
town was wiped out, Tuesday morn
| ing, and this will mean big increase
in taxes, next year. Owing to recent
legislation a water district can be
formed with Madison and that may
be brought about, as many of the citi-
zens of this town are in favor of such
a move.
