Warm Welcome to Co. D.
BIG CROWD OUT, WITH PARADE, BAN
QUIET AND BALL.

1t was certainly some reception tina
was given to the National Guard boy,
"wednesday afternoon.
The crowd Of hundreds of people
cheered, whistles blew, bells rang, an6
then the real program began.
Co. D, Second Maine Infantry, after {
service OF four months with the United
states, most of IL In Texas on the Mexi
can border, was mustered out at Angus
ta on Wednesday, and reached South
Paris on the afternoon train. Arrange
ments for its reception had beer
made, and sufficient notice of it's srriv.
al was given 80 that everybody could be
on hand.
half an hour before train time travel
toward the station began, and soon hun
dreds of people and scores of automo.
biles were assembled on the platform
and in its immediate vicinity. The Mod.
ern Woodmen Band OF Bridgton was sta
toned at the side Of the platform, and
played as the train pulled in few min
ntes late. The people cheered, the
whistle of the Mason Manufacturing Co.
doomed out, and the church bells Joined
in the chorus.
Rapidly the parade formed, under COM
mand of j. Waldo Nash as marshal. II
was headed by the band, followed by the
Sons of Veterans, former members OF
Co. D, and grammar school children
carrying flag. Then came Co. D, under
command of Capt. Moses P. Stiles, fol.
lowed by automobiles carrying veterans.
Other automobiles, appropriately deco
rated, carrying citizens, followed, and
the rear was brought up by Byron W.
Tuttle driving his tally-ho with q four
finland.
Flags were out on every hand along
the route, and some of the houses and
business places had more elaborate deco
rations.
The line of march was up Western
Avenue by the sled factory, and down
High Street to Market Square. Here the
company halted and a short drill in the
manual of arms was given, then the pa
rade continued to Norway and took the
principal streets, being dismissed at the
armory of Co. D.
In Norway village the enthusiasm of
the greeting was again manifested by
bells and whistles, though the gathering
darkness caused some loss of effect of
the quite elaborate decorations of homes
and business places.
At $50 banquet prepared by the
ladies of Norway Grange was served at
Grange Hall, of which chicken pie was
the staple. Capt. j. Waldo Nash acted
as toastmaster, and responses were made
by Rev. G. G. Miller, Col. A. ]. Stearns,
Judge G. F. Whitman, Walter L. Gray,
Rev. Robert j. Bruce, Capt. Moses P.
Stiles and First Lieut.. Guy I.Swett.
The final event of the day was the ball
at Norway Opera House. Music was by
an orchestra assembled for the occasion
by Frank Kimball. With about q hun
dred couples on the floor, and the gal
lery and standing room oil packed, the
ball may safely be reckoned as one Of
the most successful affairs that has ever
been held in these towns.

A Real Black Fox.

1t may cause interest and perhaps ex-
element to announce that fox carrying
around with him an $500 black skin is at
large somewhere in this vicinity.
Two or three years ago the black fox
fad struck Maine. Every little while
the daily papers announced the capture
of a valuable black fox by some hunter
somewhere In the state. Indeed, 80 gen.
eral did the black fox idea become that
local correspondents, in noting the sue
cess of the local hunters, almost always
took pains to specify that So-and-so Sc
cured one, two, or more "red" foxes at
such. and-such time. It seemed to be
necessary to name the color lest the cas-
ual reader should get the impression
that the hunter had come home with
black brushes to. the value of q Thousand
dollars or more.
Now the Democrat was inclined to
poke fun at the black fox craze, and
waited for confirmation before accepting
at their face value all these reports OF
black fox captures, regarding the matter
as largely the product of over-zealous
Journalists" combined with that kind
of psychology which is said to be re-
sponsible for business depression.
Therefore the Democrat cannot be &C.
cused of haste, prejudice or excess Of
zeal in announcing, and affirming its be-
lief in the truth of the announcement,
that black fox was seen in Paris only q
few days ago.
Because, the one who saw the fox was
Writ Stanley, foreman OF the Democrat,
and hunter of known reputation. And
be knows game. Many brush has he
brought home, besides birds which will
run into the hundreds in number, and
other game. he Is not to be fooled by .
black cat or any other animal domestic
or wild, which some might mistake for q
fox. When he sees fox he knows 1t.
1t was last Friday afternoon that he
saw the fox. and the place was in re-
cent hard wood cutting lying westerly
from the buildings of F. W. North, some
over a mile southerly from South Paris
village. As he came out from the cover
of some small growth he saw the animal
sitting on yellow birch stump. He
wasn't out for that kind of game, but af-
ter birds, and the animal was about
three gunshots away, 80 he couldn't
have got him anyway.
At first sight the thing which impress
ed him was the color. which was black,
though the general form of the object
indicated fox. Then little motion at
the stump suggested to him that per-
haps after all what was moving was
simply some juncos fitting about the
stump. But all doubts were resolved
when the animal got down from the
stump and went off in the direction of
the 'little red school house" once used
In District No. 1.
1t was fox all right. There was q
touch of white on the breast, and anoth-
or on the tail, but the rest was beauti-
full glossy black. 81 never saw such q
handsome sight" says Mr.. Stanley, and
be adds, perhaps prophetically, ~ don't
expect ever shall again."
Now, Johnny, get your gun. That
brush is worth-well, It's worth good
deal, anyway. To be sure. you may
spend year hunting and never see him.
But what is life for, II not to spend In
the open, with dog and gup? And our
present day motto Is, "let rs eat, drink,
and burn gasoline"

Your + ceilings
and Your f eet

Have your shoes ever hurt you? Hurt
your pride because they did not keep
their shape, because they looked "or-
dinary?" Hurt your feet because they
had not fit exactly in the first place and
run over at one side or turned at the
heel as they wore, and so rubbed and
pinched and pressed on tender nerves.
And when your shoes hurt you either men
tally or physically you can't be happy-you
cant be cheerful-you can't be pleasant to
live with---eyen to yourself.
You know how you feel Most of US have
had such experience at least once But it
need never happen again with our shoe SER
vice within reach
At our store you get the benefit of experi-
enced shoe filters Our trained statesmen as.
sist you in selecting just the right shape and
size which will insure lasting comfort.
AS for the shoes themselves, you can be
bssfully serene in the certainty that your
footwear is the very last word in correct
style, with all the quality of material and
workmanship which you would expect in
genuinely good Shoes
1t is our chosen business to sell real
shoe service and good shoes for men,
women and children. The variety is
surprising---the range of prices wide.
