athletics where the men and boys who
! have not been cutters in little things
and who have always stood for what
is upright and just and fair have
been the men who have accomplished
much in the world. Prof McConaughy
has travelled rather extensively and
he was able to tell the lad of the
many things he had seen and the les
sons he had learned of strong men,
strong in viii and character.
Previous to Prof. McConaughy's talk
Rev. sydney 5. Booth spoke to the boys
and told them to try to bring the boys
who were most in need of the opportuni-
ties offered by the work were the boys
who did not wear the white collars, as
did all those who We're present, but the
ones who had never felt the uplifting
touch of culture and refinement lie
asked each boy to be a missionary in
bringing another into the fold.
There was not the usual unrest among
the boys while Prof McGonaughy was
speaking as is usually apparent at such
q gathering. And when he had finished
and the lads We're taking their hats and
coats starting homeward, one could hear
whispered words of admiration for the
speaker and for the occasion itself. The
fifty odd boys who went out into the
night after the first of what may be
monthly banquets felt wiser and better
for being present.
Those who were in attendance includ-

Trunks Seized.


Another attempt to put one over

cessful when two trunks, checked in

the job and when the trunks, which
looked rather SUSPICIOUS, We're exam

throp Check Progress In Time.

Monmouth, Me, Oct. 22.-(SpeciaD.--
Ineendiarism is thought to be the
cause Of a fire discovered, about IL
O'clock Tuesday night, in the store of
the II. e. Woodbury. Co., and which
eventually destroyed two other build
ings including the postoffice, causing
partially covered by insurance. But
for the timely arrival of the Lewiston
and Winthrop departments the whole
village would have probably been
swept.
Following So closely upon the burning
of the Shepard building. which since
was being closely watched, it is be-
lieved that a firebug is at work in this
town. The authorities have the matter
in hand and searching investiga-
ton will he made.
The fire was discovered by the men
watching the embers of the previous
blaze and was noticed, about II p. NJ.
The store and stock of the r. Il.
Woodbury. Co, was totally destroyed.
From there the blaze worked into
the drug store of Wesley Prescott, in
which store was the poStot1ice, de-
stroying that thence to the {. q.
Flanders meat store.
BY this time the fire departments of
Lewiston and Winthrop, which had
been summoned. soon had an effective
battery of water playing upon the
flames and an effective stand was
made at the Flanders store. The
building was beyond saving, and the
greater part of the efforts were d.
rected towards keeping the flames and
sparks from catching nearby build
ings.
At an early hour. Wednesday morn
ing, the departments were still play
ing water on the blaze, though they
thought the fire to be under control.
These building We're threatened by
this afternoons fire.

Boys Banquet in the Ware
ParlOrS Proves Great Success.

Over half 81 hundred boys, ranging
in age from IA to 20, gathered at the
tables in the Ware parlors, Wednes-
day evening, for the first exclusively
local boys banquet that was ever held
in Waterville, and a jolly gathering
it was to be sure. Imbued with that
optimistic, absorbing, youthful spirit,
and blessed with good appetites the
boys lost no true in showing that they
were skilful with the knife and fork,
when a hymn had been sung in place
of saying grace at the beginning of
the banquet, and all had seated them
selves at the long tables which were
literally covered with cold meats
mashed potatoes. baked beans, hot
rolls, coffee, pickles, and when that
course had been disposed there were
ice cream and cake to top things off
with.
Slips somewhat resembling registra-
ton cards were passed around to the
boys who signed their names, their
church preferences. sport preferences
and the like. Prof. McConaughy of
BoWdoin, who WAS to be the chief
speaker did not arrive before the close
OF the Ddnuucl, aS ne was not que I'M
til the T.35 train. 1t was somewhat
late and he consequently did not reach
the hall, until almost 3 o'clock. In the
meantime, Secretary John NJ. North
colt gave the boys an entertaining
and practical talk on the purpose of
bringing them together and of the
work planned for the equipment
department including drill work, track
athletics, camera club, basket ball,
tennis, bowling. baseball and gym
classes. He laid before the boys the
necessity of their unfinehing support
if the venture We're to be success,
They showed considerable enthusiasm
ana clearly made it evident that the
plans would be just the thing.
Songs were thrown on a large NOV
ing picture screen and from a steri-
opticon machine and the boys all join
ed in. Just as they were finishing
Prof. McGonaughy arrived. He proved
worth while waiting for. His talk
which was along the line of not being
either mental or moral gutter was
practical and appealing TO the boys
