Mrs. Allen ouimby

The recent death Of Mrs. Allen
Quimby Of Portland, which occurred
at her summer home in Stockholm,
came with a shock Of surprise. Al
though she had been i'll for several
months and during a portion Of the
time seriously i'll, there seemed to
be no reason for doubt Of her ulti-
mate recovery. Fatal symptoms
quickly developed few hours before
her death, the cause Of which baf-
fed physicians and made remedial
agencies of no avail.
She was married in 1897 to Allen
Quimby whose acquaintance she
made when he was student at Bow
time in Augusta. where Mr.. Quimby
studied and practicsd law and later
served as assistant pripcipal in Cony
high school,. When they went to
Stockholm and established the large
veneer manufacturing plant Of which
Mr.. Quimby is general manager, the
country was a veritab!e wilderness
and they were pioneers in the clear
ing Of the land and the settlement Of
home in Houlton for some years and
later moved to Portland. where the
central Office Of the business is now
treated
Mrs.. Quimby was a woman Of very
unusual force of character and broad
insight into modern business condi-
tons. She was especially fitted to
be real business partner as we'll as
wife and mother. She was an accom-
plished musician and acted as organ
list at the college church at Bruins
wick for several years. Greatly in
terested and well informed on many
Of tie problems OF the day. she was
especially devoted in thought and
ftudy Of the modern problems of re-
iieicn and the reformation Of the
-rhuich. Possessed Of an unsuitable
faith in the overruling providence of
God. she looked and worked for a
new day and steadfastly followed the
visions Of great trust. noble purposes
and unselfsh service to which her life
wa conserrated,
Her sudden death, seemingly an
unbearable loss to the family and the
cause FIR which she had lived. is
nevertheless glorified by the heroigm
and nobility of h>r life. She is sur
vived by her husband and three
young children who have the deep
est sympathy not only Of many rel
atives. but OF wide circle Of friends
throughout the State.

Fire And Thrift

Says the Saturday Evening Post: In ten months of 1918, with the United States at war, the fire loss was greater by a hun dred million dollars than in the corresponding period of 1916, when we could considerably bet ter afford totoss equivalent of hundred big ships into bon fire. When we toss cigar stub on heap of shavings or leave an electric wire half insulated we are not thinking of thrift or any thing else. Out of ten motions in the course of day we think of thrift only in connection with one of them. The task is to cul- tivate hundred per cent habit of thrifty thinking. Such a hab- it will cut the fire less in half.
