OF the firemen was made other than to

One OF the Purinton Bros. Cos. horses
had a close cali from serious injury Sat-
urday morning by going over the en-
bankment on the north side of Bridge
street together with sled load of wood
to which he was attached. but luck was
with him and he came out of the scrape
without any broken bones. The team.
horse and all. went down over the en-
bankment for distance of about Is feet,
but luckily brought up against a tree,
thus escaping an almost perpendicular
fall of fully 20 feet more, which would
probably have resulted fatally for the
horse. AS it was. however, he was res
cued from his dangerous position with
no more serious injury than some severe
strains, and later the sled and its load
Of wood were also rescueu.

The kennebec Journal is always ready
and glad to grant its patrons any favor
possible but once in awhile it finds itself
up against it, and an occasion Of this
kind presented itself Saturday afternoon
when the phone rang and in response to
the Hello from the Office there came
over the wire in sweet feminine tones
the request: Wont YOU please send up
dozen Of those Inolasses hermits?"
The request was made in a tone that
no one could refuse if there was the
least possibility of granting it. but the
reporter was forced to admit that there
was not a hermit in the Journal Office
and then the fair one on the other end
of the line who had the laundering for
hermits discovered that she had been
given the wrong number.
