SHOULD A HUSBAND OR

Home is the resort
 Of love, of joy. of peace and plenty. Supporting and supported. polish'd And dear relations mingle into bliss :
 There are easy dispositioned women who are quite eager to take things as they come. Other women believe they have certain rights, and will not yield what they consider their privilege even to a husband. It would be well for the latter class of women to study the law. ere they enter the rank and file of matrimony.
 If she believes the world is her do- main, in which to reign supreme, she may get a sudden jolt to find that her husband hash a perfect right to say how many apples she should put in a pie. or that he must be consulted ev- cry time she asks her moeher to drop in to luncheon. A learned judge or the supreme court has decided that even if the home is Jointly owned by the husband and wife the husband has a. right to regulate the household and to decide who shall stop beneath It's roof This will make many an 1nde- pendent girl take 8 long breath ere she weds. She may insist upon pre- nuptlal agreement that he will not press his right to regulate the house hold.

THE SQUIRRELS.
(By Virginia Vale. )

Once upon a time Edward and George were visiting their Grandpa rents and they wrote home having the best visit they had ever had.
 One morning the brothers started for the woods which were only a lit- tie way from the house. They both had made s1ings. and were going to splay at hunting.
 At the edge of the wood they saw two pretty gray squirrels and both the boys felt in their bags for stone to use in the slings. Wiz wiz,'' and a stone flew past one of the squirrels and just hit the tip of the biggest know what to make of this for Grandpa had never allowed anyone to shoot in any way harm them or the birds in the woods.
 All the squirrels would come when Grandpa whistled to look for nuts and they were never disappointed for he always carried his pockets full of them, so they ran as fast as they could for hollow place they knew of in a tree not far away. It was well they were out of sight for Edward aimed again and this time would have hit the squirrel if it had been in the same place. Just then Grandpa came along and say what the boys were do- ing and I am sure he never was so angry at his grandsons before.
 He said: I am ashamed of you to want to hurt dumb animal of any kind. You should look out and care for the helpless and be kind to every i thing. These little animals snow me and when call wifi come and even eat out of my hand and unless you : have frightened them they will come now. want you first to throw away those slings and then watch.,'
 Now the boys did as they were told and grandpa called but t11e squirrels

Among the callers in Augusta Thursday
was William BOSNIAN OF Bethel, former
resident of Augusta and who was 25
years ago employed at the Kinsman
pharmacy. Mr.. BOSNIAN had not been in
Augusta since that time, but during his
visit ran across some of his old friends,
among them c. B. Murphy. He did not
think that Mr.. Murphy recognized him as
he stood in front of the latters drug
store looking in at the window, but after
Mr. Murphy had told him a story of a
fishing trip that he had taken with a
young fellow many years ago the visitor
was forced to admit that he was the
young fellow and that Mr.. Murphy's
memory was better than he had anticipat-
ed. According to the tale the two had
gone over in the Windsor neighbour God
after brook trout, and as the brook was a
long one and Mr.. BOSNIAN was new at
trout fishing, Mr.. Murphy had left him in
a good place to fish, telling him to fish
down along the brook until he came to
the team, which Mr.. Murphy was to leave
about a mile down the brook and fish
down from there, and that when he re-
turned they would meet at the place
where the team had been left. Mr.. Muir
ply fshed until he had caught all the
trout he wished and then went back to
where the team was. Mr.. BOSNIAN was
not there. however, and taking the team
back to where he had left his friend he
found him still there and fishing. Mr..
Murphy showed Mr.. BOSNIAN his fish and
asked him how many he had caught, to
which the latter replied: "Oh, IS OF 90
but Charles. all of my trout are not
speckled like yours" whereupon an inves-
tigation was made and the fact was re-
vealed that about one-half of the fish
which Mr.. BOSNIAN had caught were

One would hardly expect that the
work of keeping the Kennebec bridge
clean would prove a very exciting job,
but John Ware, who holds down the
job for the street department os the
Eastern district, and whose daily task
is to sweep the bridge and keep il free
of the litter that comes of the heavy
traffic which passes over it finds. but
very few dull moments. Mr. Ware
is a man who views the course of
daily events with a calm eye and is
averse to allowing anything of the
nature of excitement to enter into his
being, but in spite of his fondness of
tranquility In life he finds his work.
ing hours of the day fraught with
conditions directly opposite to these
of his liking. If the travel over the
bridge were composed wholly of
teams as it was in the days before
the advent of the automobile, never
would a murmur of complaint be
heard from his lips, but those happy
days are gone never to return, and
with them his peace of mind for even
while he plies his broom, sweeping
the litter into piles to be hauled away
the squawk of an approaching auto
warns his many times a day to get
out of the way. The majority OF the
drivers give him sufficient notice of
their approach, but there are others
who swoop down upon this lone man
with the broom like a hawk into a
henyard and do not sound their horn
until they are close upon him and he
is forced to jump for the truss work
of the bridge in order to save himself
from complete or partial disintcgra-
ton. 1t is this class that destroys
his peace of mind, and it is no wonder
that when the other morning one of
them had whizzed by. his car going
like an express train. that John shuok
his fist in the direction of the flying
car and shouted: "Gol dern We, if /
had a shot gun I'd fill we full" Just
now Mr.. Ware has additional duties
in patching the planking of the bridge
to keep it safe for travel until the
structure shall be repaired and he is
prayerfully hoping for that time to
come.
