Sacrificed Thar Hats.

Many years ago the master butchers
OF Washington market in New York
city, used to kick their hats about the
market at the close Of business on Sat
urday night. Under the custom In the
market 1t was considered sighting OF
the profession for any butcher not to
appear behind his counter with a high
hat, and 1t was thought bad taste If the
meat seller at the end Of prosperous
week failed to destroy the hat. The
apprentice butchers couldn't afford silk
headgear and SO used to gather up the
broken hats and repair them for their
own use,

Passenger Trains May be Taken OFF.

Rumors gained currency during the
past week that the passenger train ser
vice on the Grand Trunk was soon to be
reduced to two trains each way per day.
Station Agent Dorsn tells the Demo
crat that no definite information can be
given regarding the matter, as nothing
has been decided, but 1t seems that the
railroad management is considering the
question of what IL is practicable to do.
The rumors, which seem to be, from
all information that can be gained, not
entirely without foundation, are that the
early morning train eastbound, and the
evening train westbound, will be taken
of. The afternoon train westbound,
which now arrives at South Paris at
8 :35, will leave Portland later, so AZ TO
arrive at South Paris somewhere around
8 O'Clock.
What gives color to these reports and
makes them more than rumOrs, 10 the
fact. as announced in q dispatch from
OTTAWA. that q Wholesale cut In the pas
sepger train service of Canada Is being
worked out in Ottawa by operating heads
of the railways assembled from all parts
of the Dominion working with Sir Henry
Draw ton. chairman of the Dominion Rail-
way Commission. The reason given TOR
this is the congestion of traffic which has
prevailed on the Canadian roads for
mouths past. 1t Is intended to reduce
the passenger service in order to give
the more opportunity for moving wheat
and other products, munition material
and munitions, and other trafic special
ly REQUIRED because of the war.
The Grand Trunk Is Canadian ROAD,
and the two trains which 1t is rumoreo
may be taken of are through trains
from Chicago.
