WHO TOOK THE HAT?
Valuable Feminine Headeear Disap-
pears, Saturday Night, from Wheel
er's Store.

Who's got the hat? That is the ques-
ton that is turning over in the minds
of the clerks in the Wheeler millinery
store. Laboring long and without rest
to get hat made for lady who was
to leave, Monday morning, for Cali
fornia, employing the most skilful
methods known to expert milliners in
its construction, and in fact allowing
most of the other work to go until this
particular hat was finished, and then
in the end to have some one quietly
and unnoticed come into the store and
lift it from the showcase where it was
neatly done up and waiting for the
owner to come and get it, is certainly
not only an embarrassing position to
be placed in, but a provoking enc.
One day, last week, lady came into
the above millinery store and ordered
hat. She wanted a good one, and ask
ed that it be made entirely to order. 1t
is said that the value of the hat when
completed was in the enighborhood of
$50 In accordance with orders given
by the lady ordering the hat, the mill
liners Immediately got busy with their
task. 1t was fussy job, and one that
took q considerable amount of time.
Finally, Saturday evening, the hat was
completed and the lady was to call for
it at $50. Mrs. Wheeler had neatly done
up the hat in a hat box and placed it
on the end of the showcase. At $50 the
lady came IN for her hat, thereupon,
Mrs Wheeler went to the place where
she had it, to find to her astonishment
that it was gone. How anyone would
feel under such circumstances can
easily be imagined. What was to be
dcne-the lady must leave on her long
journey. Monday morning, and there
was no chance of postponing the trip
a single day.
The telephone was used, and both
of the lady clerks who had gone, were
reached by phone, later, but they
knew nothing of the mysterious dis
appearance of the hat. There was just
one thing to do, and that was to get
busy and make another hat. This they
were doing at the latest reports, and it
is hoped that they will complete their
task in time for the lady to catch her
train. Mrs. Wheeler has not the slight
est idea where the hat went, but there
were a lot of strangers in the store
at the time it is supposed to have dis
appeared. The matter has been report
ed to the police, and sharp lookout
will be kept for the missing hat.

ERlskY COLBY STUDENTS
Swipe Water Street Signs TOR SouVe
Mrs, Only to Lose Them.

The tendency to friskiness on the
part of college students was exempil-
fled in Augusta, Friday night on lhe
occasion of the visit of members OF
the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity Oh
Colby College of Waterville, to this
citv. for the purpose of holding lts
22d annual initiation banquet, ana
while no great amount of actual dam
age was done by the coileglahs' the
performance would in the eyes of the
law come very near within the mean
ing of the term malicious mlschleI.
According to reports received from
the police the lark in which the Vlsl-
tors indulged took place after the ban
ouet and during the time In which
thew were awaiting the arrival OF
Train IL. which leaves Augusta for
east, at Ill A. NJ, and on wnich lhes
left for home, and the scene OF tneir
operations was confined for the great
er part to Water street, aithough IL
developed that some of them found
their way over to the east side OF the
river.
The first evidence of their playful
ness was shown at the Lessard bar
ID,
where they twisted the sign or its
bearings. Another place which came
in for the attention was the DeVine %
Chadbourne pharmacy, where they rip
ped off and carried away two small
signs attached to the front OF the
store. A watch sign hanging over the
entrance of Fred Hilton's jewelry store,
a short distance above Bridge street.
also looked good to them, and they
took that.
Another watch sign hanging in front
of Freeman Chase's watch repair
shop ON Cony street was also taken. 1t
is said that Mr.. Chase, who lives in
the rear end of the building, heard the
racket, but decided not to go out. The
largest lift" that the boys tried to
make was the big fire ladder which is
kept on the Kennebec bridge. They
took the ladder and had made their
way as far as Water street with it
when Night officer Cloutier, who was
coming down that street from the
North end saw them. They prob
ably saw him at the same time. for

Funeral of Mrs. Anna 3, Smith.

The funeral of Mrs. Anna b. Smith
took place at her late residence, Court
street place, Sunday afternoon, the ger
vices being impressively conducted by
Rev. Mr. Boothby, pastor of the Old
South church. The bearers were William
Davis, Thomas II. Bodge, Alexander
Lewis and Harold Partridge.
A true, Industrious, kind-hearted home
builder has gone from our midst in the
death of Mrs. Smith. Her husband died
some 80 years ago, leaving her with three
little children, to whom without any
material resources she nurtured with
great care and tenderness to the years
of womanhood, and who in turn have
had the great privilege of ministering TO
their mothers wants in the years of
weakness. Mrs. Smith seemed to have no
thought for herself, but was constant
and unselfish in her ministrations to 9TH
ers, and ever to be found in the place
where she was most needed, not valuing
her own life in comparison with the lives
of others. The sorrowing friends at the
funeral Sunday. and the wealth of flow
ers bore mute evidence of the esteem IN
which she was held. The interment was
in the family lot at Mt Pleasant

after carrying the ladder a few yards
up Bridge hill, they dropped it and
fled.
1t may be possible that some of the
smaller articles were taken by them
for souvenirs, but If so, they were des-
tined to disappointment, for the police
shortly got wise to what had been
going on and succeeded in finding and
recovering all of the stolen property
with the exception of one of the signs
taken from the Devine 81 Chadbourne

The Prohibition Party.

Why should not the Prohibition
party place itself in position to aid
in the accomplishment of dts main
purpose, a purpose 1t has had the
half century Of its existence? This
question arises from action recently
taken at Columbus, o., when Prohi-
bltlon leaders assembled there de-
cided to raise million dollar cam
paign fund in order to elect ten
members of Congress, II possible. 1t
seems mere folly to spend such q
vast sum of money merely to get
slight representation in the national
Congress.
The Prohibition party is not one
of much achievement as its history
shows. 1t has not had as much to
do with successful dry campaigns in
various states as some gave it cred
lit for Other anti-liquor forces have
been far. more effective in their
work, and the Prohibition party mas
never been feared by the iliquor in
terests. The anti-saloon leage de-
serves much OF the credit, where
states have gone dry. That organi-
cation Is not political one. 1t
maintains its integrity and joins
hands with forces in position to
bring about the result it desires.
The Prohibition party usually holds
itself aloof from other anti-liquor
forces and maintains Independent
activities, which sometimes defeat
the very thing the Prohibition party
declares it wants accomplished.
Why would it not be the part OF
wisdom for the Prohibition party to
maintain its organization but throw
its forces and influences to other or
CARNATIONS able to accomplish what
lit seeks? The liquor question usual
ly in these days is one between the
two leading parties in the various
states. One of the leading parties
may be against liquor, hut when the
Prohibition party holds aloof with
its own activities and ticket in the
field. it then weakens the probable
success of the great cause it repre-
sents.

work is under the direction OF l. H.
Carris, whom Commissioner Kendall
tdesignated as deputy commissioner In
charge of vocational education.
A Practical Arrangement.
The New Jersey plan provides that
any school district, whether city.
town, township, or borough as wen
as any county. may start vocational
schools and get money for their sup
port Separate schools may be organ
lied, or departments established in
existing schools, according to local
convenience. The thorough practi-
calness OF the plan may be seen from
the recommendations for efficient
members of advisory boards for the
vocational schools: If the training
Is for the industries, then two OF the
members are to be an employer and
an employee respectively, represent
ing distinct trades or occupations.
Where the school is one that trains for
home duties, It is suggested that the
members shall be persons who have
had actual experience In the occupa-
tons carried on In the household, as
mistress OF home, honse5daughter
or housekeeper. Similarly. an ad-
visory board Tor an agricultural voca-
tional school is expected to have as
members at least three successful
farmers of@the nelghborhood.
Amount Of State Aid.
The local community furnishes the
building and one-half the cost of
equipment and maintenance, while
the state pays the other half of the
cost, the amount not to exceed SIC, 900,
in any given year for any one school
The school must be officially approved
by the Switchboard OF education before
/ 1t can receive any money. The sum Of
$4,000 has been authorized by law for
F, one year In brief says Mr.. Carris,
summing up the plan, "the state will
give money for the equipment. and
maintenance of approved vocational
schools on dollaF-for-dollar basis, in
proportion to the amount spent by
the Slocal community out Of funds
raised by local taxation to the amount
of $4,000 annually"
The New Jersey authorities are par.
ticularly insistent that vocational
schools shall be established only after
community has given careful con-
slderation to its vocational needs. A
list of questions is suggested, by
means of which the local community
can find out, first, whether the indus
trial needs OF the neighborhood de-
mand better vocational facilities; and
second, just what type of schools
day, evening. or part-time-may be
necessary to meet local requirements.
