ages is little mystifying. Schweitzer,
Tydeman and Kruger are all going
good and to replace any of them with
better men will be a hard task.

Delicate Sense of Touch

This is day of specialization The
cobler who made our grandfather 8
shoes did every part of them. The
labor of a hundred different people,
each for a few seconds or minutes,
produces the shoe we wear. Discus
sion of these changes, which have oc-
Cured in about every form of indus
try, took place about Skowhegan
supper table recently, and led to men
ton of the effect of various occupa-
lions on the hands and features The
tendency of typewriting to give pc
culiar squared form to the finger nails
was mentioned. The head of the
family, well known Skowhegan
business man, who has had for years
a succession of stenographers in his
Office, lamented that this skilled oc-
cupation should even thus slightly de-
form the hand. Others of the house
hold taking the view that the effect
spoken of was mostly notional, he
defended his position with some
warmth. In his earnestness, he in
sisted that the slightly blunted nails
and flattened finger tips were even
apparent in shaking hands and added
that he could tell a stenographer's
hand from any other in the dark. The
wife's reply II have no doubt of it,
Henry. Your sense of touch is truly
wonderful" led to change in the
subject for the remainder of the meal.

business be established the sooner
the better, and we may be sure that
there will be no delay except that die
tated by business prudence. If, how
ever, two years should pass and no
suitable proposition Is found, any one
or all of the contributors may with
draw their funds, with interest at the
savings bank rate.
The plan has met with general ap-
prevail. Never before in the history
of the town has an enterprise been so
shared in by people in all walks of
life. Not before for many years have
factional elements been so completely
effaced. Business and political rival
ries and all other differences seem to
have been buried. Under no other
circumstances could the fund be roll
ed UP at the rate of thousand dol
lars a day. The whole spirit of the
matter is full of boundless encourage
ment for the future of Skowhegan.
Save the time of the trustees in
every way you can. They are busy
men. They have devoted the past
week almost entirely to this public
service. Don't wait for them to hunt
you up. Go to them. Moreover, a
word expressing your appreciation of
what they are doing would be in ex-
cellent taste. They are in this thing,
heart and soul, for the pure love of
setting things ON the hustle, but no
matter how much of a boomer a man
is, he has human side with the rest
of us and likes to be told when he is
doing a good stunt. Certainly no
bunch of rustlers ever did better
one. Let's tell them so.

Although the docket is still show
ing many cases for actual trial this
term, quite number were reported
Monday as having been disposed of.
Among these was the case of Hume &
Newhall Co. VS. j. z. Blouin, which
was defaulted because of the non-ap-
pearance of the defendant. The two
cases of Josiah P. Prescott VS. Fred
Green and of Fred R. Green VS. Josiah
Prescott were set ahead to the end of
the list All of these had been as
signed for trial on Friday last. The
case of James B. Barrows against
Parker NJ. Sanborn was non-suited, a
verdict for the plaintiff had been re-
turned at a previous trial in the sum
of $162.11 Later motion for new
trial had been filed on the ground of
newly discovered evidence and an
order from the Law Court had been
received granting a new trial.
A verdict was returned in the case
of Frank T. Palmer of Skowhegan
against William Robinson of Bing-
ham in Mr.. Palmer's favor in the
sum of $2S.08. Considerable time
was occupied in the testimony offered,
the contention having arisen over a
tote wagon, more especially over the
rear part of the vehicle. 1t seems
that the defendant, Mr.. Robinson, had
purchased the wagon of Mr.. Palmer
and paid him 500 in part payment
