SO ago the building at the shore which

upon the arrival and departure OF the
little steamers lthat piled between here
and the surrounding harbors. Mr.. Saw.
telle had collected few relics which he
priced, and placed them in the building,
which he intended fitting up as waiting
room. Some of his friends suggested, in
joking manner, that he should have his
sign out, and on the spur of the moment
ne painted over the entrance 1.-THE Curio
Shop" 1t turned out to be no joke. He
was allowed to rummage into hay lofts,
sheds and attics, and collected many old
relics which had been carelessly set aside
as OF no further use. The owners have
been made to see the value OF such things,
and in the future old things will be more
highly priced. II any reader in the
nearby vicinity has not already visited the
shop, it will be worth while to do SO. The
things collected are not for sale, but loaned
for safe keeping. In the room above the
curio shop, the three Islesford painters
who have spent their summers here have
displayed their beautiful oil paintings of
the island. The stsirway and room in
which the paintings were for sale were
artistically decorated in evergreen trees,
and over the entrance was large painting
OF the green woods. 1t is hoped that next
summer our artist friends may be with US
again.
