RUNAWAY GIRLS ARE
STOPPED AT AUGUSTA

Rose Lafayette and Minnie 6laisdelI
Of WaterviIIe, Aged 16 Years, Sent
Back Home-latter Was Headed
for Portland to Get Job as "House-
keeper"
The attention Of Judge Lancaster
of the municipal court was taken up
for the greater part Of Thursday aft
ernoon with two young girls who had
been picked up by officer Bolduc of
the police force at the Maine Cen
trail station at noontime. shortly be-
fore the hour of departure of Train
No 3, which goes east from Augusta
at 12.41. The girls gave their names
as Rose Lafayette Of Waterville,
and Minnie Blaisdell Of the same
city, who said she would be IL years
old in March. The girls were not ar
raigned before the court but were
given an interview with the judge in
order that they might be held to the
straight and narrow path from which
there appeared to lie danger that
they might stray.
1t developed that the two had run
away from home, having arrived III
Augusta at 11.30 Tuesday night, and
that Rose was the instigator Of the
escapade. 1t also developed that the
two girls since their arrival in the
city had .Artaken of but one meal
The Blaisdell girl explained her pres
ence in the city by saying tha, she
had started for Portland where She
was to get situation as housekeep-
er, saying to the court in support Of
her intention that she could cook
several articles of food, including
pumpkin pies, but that the Lafayette
girl had the money belonging to the
two in her pockctbock and that she
lost the pocketbook, which left the
two without funds.
The Lafayette girl allowed that
she came to Augusta with the Blais-
dell girl to accompany her thus far
on her journey to Portland. and that
after the latter had gone she was go
ing to return to Waterville, but that
the loss of their cash on hand Lad
rather upset their plans. They got
4 room Tuesday night at one Of the
hotels, so she said, which they Sc
cured for % cents, and on Wednes-
day night they roomed in ano1 her
place. a boarding house. The girls
claimed that their acquaintance in
Augusta was slight and so far as
was learned was limited to some
young men whom they had met last
summer at carnival in Fairfield.
They also thought that the young
men referred to would advance them
sufficient money to allow the Lafay-
cite girl to pay her fare back to
Waterville. and the Blaisdell girl to
resume her journey to Portland, if
they We're allowed to go.
At about this juncture OF the pro-
ceedings. Mrs Ada F. Hunt, State
agent for the prevention of cruelty
to children, got into communication
with the mother Of he Blaisdell girl
at Waterville. and over the phone told
Mrs. Bla:sdell where her daughter
was, thus relieving the latter pf
great anxiety as she had not known
Of the whereabouts of the latter
since Tuesday night, when the girls
ran away. Mrs. Hunt placed the
BlaisdeIl girl on the 4.30 car for Wat
erville and started her for home. The
Lafayette girl was kept at police
headquarters until $50 in the even
ing when someone came down from
Waterviile and took her horne.

To Answer the Query, Will Il Rain ?

Eirds are excellent barometers.
Numbers of our birds-swans, wild
duck. coots. moorhens and others
build their nests either on the banks
Of river. or floating on it's surface
attached to the reeds or water grass
es. These birds. it is said. never by
chance get caught by foods, and if
you see a swans nest, say foot
above the river level yoa may lie
sure that during the next few weeks
there will not be rain enough to raise
the river above that height.
The common robin knows a great
deal about forthcoming weather,
which he will tell anyone who takes
the trouble to consult him. If he
sings in the morning it is a certain
sign of bad weather. The common
cricket is a good rain prophet. If he
chirps loudly and constantly you may
safely expect rain.-Boys' Life.

Those people from Augusta and vi
cinity who own cottages on the shores
Of Lake Cobbosseecontee have been
engaged in getting their ice for next
summers use. and find that the crop
this winter is unusually thin. the ice
averaging about u foot in thickness,
being about equally divided between
black or clear ice and snow ice.
Capt. W. H. Reid of Augusta, to
whom the lake always looks good.
be it winter or summer. has COM
pleted the work Of filing his ice
house at the lake. and says that
there is some difference in the crop
this winter and that Of a year ago,
and that while the blocks which he
has put in this winter are not over
a foot in thickness, a year ago they
were getting ice from the lake that
would measure thirty inches in thick
ness and that it was mostly black
ice. And speaking Of ice. Capt. Reid
says that some fine looking ice of
good thickness and good quality.
which has been hauled through the
city within the past few days, came
from the Tayntor quarry in Hallo-
we'll. 1t was heavy ice and much
thicker than any ice that can be
found in the Kennebec river this
winter in the vicinity Of Augusta.
