Game Warden Frank Cain Of Lewis
ton the other day found two hounds
running deer in the burnt woods OF
Turner. They had pulled down one
small deer and killed it. Mr.. Cain got
the dogs and had them disposed of as
the law directs. There was no indi-
cation that the dogs were running I'M
der any ones direction. They were
evidently loose and hunting on their
own account. Mr.. Cain says that
there are many deer in these woods.
He saw five on one day recently.
A curious-looking automobile wheel
ed into Fort Fairfield Friday morning
IA made over Ford car. having six
wheels, says the Fort Fairfield Review.
We are at loss to know just how this
automobile was turned, as we did not
see it go around many sharp curves,
but it apparently could be turned all
right enough, as a streamer on it said
"Orland, Florida" and, if it could get
from there all right, we are sure 1T
must have been able to turn a little,
as the road from Florida to Maine Is
not precisely straight. Another pla-
card on the automobile said For sale
by r. j. Philbrick." We did not quite
understand what 1t meant was for sale
the people in the auto, the auto itself,
or something that the people had in
their minds, grips or possession that
they were peddling out. The auto
had three seats, each capable of hold
ing three people, besides lot Of trunk
room behind. 1t went on eastward
from Fort Fairfield, destination un-
known to the writer.

 FRIENDS HOME
Mrs. J. w. Connors Ejects Intruder Who'd Rob Her
 Neighbor.

Through the vigilance of Mrs. James w. Connors of 76 Denver ave- nue. the efforts of a sneak thief to gain entrance to the home of Mrs. Edward Stenstream of 78 Denver ave- nue, were frustrated Tuesday after noon.
 A strange man was endeavoring to unlock the door of the Senstream home when detected by Mrs. Connors. She asked him his business and he said he was a boarder at the Sen stream home, but on looking at the number of the house he said he was mistaken. Mrs. Connors was suspi- cfous of the stranger and she watch ed him from behind the curtains of her home.
 Later he succeeded in unlocking the door and as he was ascending the staircase, Mrs. Connors grabbed him by the coattails and pulled the in truder down the stairway. He ob- jected to fais treatment and resisted, but was finally forcibly elected. The police have been informed.

TODAY'S POEM
THE TWO PRAYERS.

A youth stood with uplifted arms and faced the rising sun, 70 God,'' he prayed, with earnest eyes ''ere my short day be done, O God of power, grant me power! O. God of strength, grant me strength To forge my way to fame, to claim a conQueror's crown at length Till when deaths shadow creeps a. near my name may show on high Peerless amid earth's nnightiest-then could gay1ie die!'' A man, still strong but tanned by care by tempering sorrow tried, Kne1t, ere he slept, in humbleness, a, spirit purified. Grant, God of Love-" he murmUred low, f'g-ant me the power to love, The power to tighten tired hearts, the power cold hearts to move. The sense compassionate and ere my working soul takes flight, Let me forget myself, to wake sun startled by Thy light"

SOAP AS A HOLIDAY TOKEN.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 am a young man studying law. have a sweetheart. On Christmas she sent me oas a holiday gift a, box of soap-three cakes in the bunch-which cost her per price mark on back twenty-five cents. I sent her a, hand some easy chair for her parlor. cost ing thirty dollars. I felt nightly of tended at being the recipient of so mean a token, and, to tell you the truth, I sent it back. We have not spoken since. She has made no move to return the chair. Now what would you do if you were in my place? I like the girl immensely but I won't take an insult.
 B. H. D. do not suppose the young lady had the slightest idea that you would look upon her little offering she gave you in the way you have done. Fancy soaps for the holiday trade are put up in handsome hrx~asalad- adxertised as suitable and sensible gifts. A young schoolteacher I know received forty odd gifts of boxes of soap ranging in price from ten cents to three dollars per cake The majority of these pack ages bore the words on a card, print ed or written, Please teacher. put this in your stocking.' She was quite pleased, not by the kind, size or price of the gift, but at the thought she had been in their contemplation Make up with your sweetheart, go and sit in the chair, asking pardon for return ing the gift.

GARAGE VENTILATION.

As we understand it-and surely there is no possibility of too clead in formation upon the subject there are two kinds of dangerous gases incident to running the autom obile, carbon di- oxide and carbon monoxide, says the Automobile Dealer and Repairer. Car bon dioxide is a non-supporter of life, and, although not in the strict, sense a poisonous gass to remain in an at mosphere of it for any length of time would be likely to prove fatal. Thus it is that to stay in the vicinity of the exhaust even for a little while and where it cannot be dissipated quickly by the air, it is very heavy gas, causes headache or faintness. Car bon monoxide, 1t appears, Is the pro duct of incomplete combustion and is far more fatal in it's effects.
 The lesson is easy and simple. It is that an engine should not be run more than a few minutes in a closed garage.

GOODS THAT
 WON'T WASH

In spite of optimistic reports about good progress in making American dyes, the shortage of German. chem icals due to the war is being felt more and more keenly. Laundries com plain bitterly because the dyes now being used won't wash. and some peo- pie predict that the wearing of white clothes will become very common be- fore the war Is over, even by men.
 There is nothing new, however, about failure of goods to wash with out spelling colors. Even with the best German dyes available, every man knows how frequently his neg Hgee shirts faded even after a few visits to the laundry.
 Cleansing of gafnnents is quite a sci- ence.l Our grandmothers knew how to wash and iron so as to save the co1ors, though probably the old fash toned co1orings were better than even the best German dyes. Cheap 1aun- dry work Is costly, and ignorant help and nasty methods are contrary to all traditions of good housewifery, and ruinous to clothes.

 I am a girl of 22 engaged to a gen. keman Ca railroad man) of 29. He can only pass one evening a week with Gne as it is so inconvenient for him to get to my town. There are several young men who care very much for me, and who still call upon n1e, ask ing me to places of amusement. feel 1onely enough to go. When suggest ed doing so to my fiance he became insanely jealous, saying if went with any one to any affair all would be over between us. I cannot get along without plenty of life and good times. What ought to do.
 EFT
 Betrothed girls seldom or never find pleasure in going about with other young men. They iceland rightly, too-that they are cheating some other girl out of an escort or possible fu- ture- lover. Be content to refrain from going unless your beau can accom- pany you. Marrying hii1 at an early date will correct the above grievances and heart bangs of both. %

Improve Theatre
 Building Layout

Improvements that will transform the building formerly occupied by the German Methodist Episcopal church at S87 East Main street, into a more by Charles J. Whitehead, the present lessee. A modern brick front, gallery and greater depth of auditorium are among the features which probably will be combined in the new building. Plans are now said to be in the hands of a prominent local architect.
 The structure was erected in 1881, but was abandoned as a church some years ago. It has since been devoted to commercial enterprises. Located at 887 East Main street, near fBaRnum avenue, the new facade will make a, pleasing addition to the street. Sever al other theatres in the vicinity are doing a large business.

MONTANA GIRL ASKS
 TO RETURN GIFT
Dear Miss Libbey:-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 As a constant reader, I ask advice. It is proper for me to accept a. Christ mas present or New Years gift from g. young man whom I cannot bear? Should I return it? Thanks for the reply.
 A. B. O. You ought to think it over in every respect, and ask your friends if it is advisable not to keep it. He is pos sibIy a good, we1l-Tneaning admirer. Yet it may be best not to encourage one you do not care for In returning the gift, word a few lines to not hurt his feelings, saying it is returned with thanks, owing to your parents not per- uniting you to receive gifts these times.
