When the door Of the police station
was opened Saturday morning 10
wanderers who had passed the night
there filed out and started to resume
the journey on which they had called
halt on the night before. Eight of
them were just of the average type of
wanderers which one sees week In and
week out during the winter months
file out of the station in the morning,
but the other two attracted attention
by their difference in appearance
which was noticeable at first glance.
Instead of being unkempt and unshav-
en- they were well dressed, better than
the ordinary man, their linen was
clean and their general appearance
would indicate that they were we'll
to-do. They claimed to be Russians
and gave the names of George Dedon-
is and Antony Papistie. In reply to
a question as why they had not stop
ped at a hotel Friday night instead of
at the police station. they shrugged
their shoulders and merely replied:
mo money" which answer was some
what contradictory in view OF the fact
that the older man of the two carried
in his pocket q fine gold watch. Both
were inclined to be reticent to the po-
lice but it was learned from some of
the men who had passed the night at
the station that the two were headed
for Philadelphia, where they claimed
that there was a home for Russians
in which they would be given a
months board while they were look
ing for work and in case they did not
find work in the first month they
could stay at the home another
month.

One Of the chief bits Of attraction
which has accompanied the work in
cident to the laying of the wood block
paving on the Kennebec bridge dur
ing the past week was the CELEBRITY
with which Joe Cugino handled the
blocks and placed them in position.
Joe is the son of Tony Cugino. who
has charge of laying the pacing, and
when it comes to putting the blocks
in place Joe is surely something in
that line. Just by way of adding va
riety to the work Joe has a way of
betting with his father as to how
many yards he can lay within GER
tain time, and usually trims his dad.
Saturday afternoon in this way he
relieved Tony Of several Of his hard
earned dollars. One stunt which Joe
did Saturday was to lay two square
yards Of the blocks in one minute and
20 seconds. His days work Saturday
amounted to Alb square yards, small
estimate.

The sword fern in the reading room
of the Lithgow library shows one of
the most remarkable growths of any
in this city and is viewed with much
curiosity by strangers who visit the
institution. The plant was only seven
inches high when given to Miss julia
Clapp. the librarian, 10 years ago.
Some Of the fronds are now eight feet
long and the sweep of it is some nine
feet in circumference. The plant is
on a small pedestal in the center g
the room and the fronds extend up
into the chandelier and in their down
ward sweep reach the floor. 1t is
probably the largest fern in the city.
