"Slocum" Takes an Auto Ride.

GA61 SOhN1nt SS's -
Your correspondent on Tuesday of
last week was much pleased to accept 3
very cordial invitation for an auto ride
which extended through North and
South Paris, via the historic Paris Hill,
Oxford, Poland Spring, Auburn and
Lewiston, and returning via Turner and
Buckfield to East Sumner. The party
besides Mr.. and Mrs. r. G.. Stephens, to
whom we are indebted for the kind
favor, were Mr.. Roger and Miss Augusta
Eastman and-aud-well, call him Slo-
cum.
1t should be noted, however, that the
last named was no "slow-comer" at the
fine luxurious feast by the wayside near
Range Lake at the dinner hour. He
took notes for this paper and sand witches,
cookies, dougbnuts, tsrts, etc., In lavish
abundance, and with "neatness and dis
patch" His masticating machinery was
10 fine condition and did not fail to
spark. For the plugging up of that
cavern beneath his nose, he is indebted
largely to Mrs. Stephens and Miss East
man, who, knowing bis gastronomic
powers. provided abundantly for the
happy event. The day was delightful
and Mr.. Stephens fine seven passenger
Studebaker afforded an easy passage
even over rough roads In places.
A call was made at the once we'll
known "Snow's Falls" and Mr.. and Mrs.
Stephens, who are we'll known success
full photographers of Maine scenery,
took few views of the ruins. Passing
on, Poland Spring was soon reached and
the Maine State art and curio building
visited, also the spring and bottipg
houses. Here viewing the art gallery,
Slocum's mouth dilated even more than
q, the dinner feast, " possible.
In bis notes be will probably not tell
the public how he was entranced 10 look
ing at fine painting OF two lovely look
ing lasses in-in-well, rather scant
clothes-and he an octogenarian too!
But the lady members Of the party
caught him In the act and admonished
him that the car Was ready for Lewiston.
When on the way he seemed to be 10
reflective mood and when they called bis
attention to passing scenery he said,
yes, she was lovely"
After over an hours stay in the city,
the Joyous party started for home great
ly pleased with the fine trip and con-
vinced that there Is grand scenery In old
Maine.
Most country people, farmers especial
ly, cannot leave the home for an extern
sive tour, yet the auto affords a fine
chance for days outing in which much
grand scenery nearby may be seen, and
it's inspiration is great mental and
physical tonic to the weary toiler. The
ride, the view, the lunch by the wayside,
and the gorgeous autumnal tints of the
foliage are truly refreshing and an in
SEPARATION to the soul. And all at little
monetary cost. And it gives one grand
or conceptions of our own home, country
aud the great Creator of life.

The moral interest of the United

Mr. Schneider said. You have proved
to the world that for the sake of an

Lewis Pronounces Proposal
Indefinite, Inadequate, and
Futile-Reports to Joint
Conference.
STRIKE NOVEMBER |,


WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The Unit
ed Mine Workers of America today
formally rejected the proposal by Sec
retary Wilson for settlement Of the
coal strike called for November /.
John L. Lewis, president of the min
ers' organization, announced that the
proposal was indefinite, inadequate.
and failed to meet the situation. He
added that he would SO report to the
joint conference this afternoon.
Officers of the United Mine Workers
Of America in a formal statement, de-
clared:
Secretary Wilson's proposition and
the proposition of the operators are
not only alike, but both follow exactly
the lines laid down by Senator Frey
llnghuysen in his speech in the SEN
ate, in which he undertook to disclose
the basis on which the operators
would deal with the miners.
This remarkable similarity" the
statemenet added, was at least an
extraordinary coincidence"
Before the joint conference began,
it was announced that the operators
had accepted the Wilson plan for set
Ting the strike.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from a member Of Company K,
on strike duty at Indiana Harbor:
Indiana Harbor, Ind, Oct. p. We
have just had some good news. The
lieutenant announced that the men
would not have to walk post after to-
day, and that all patrolling after today
would be by automobile, and then eV-
eryone was sure we would soon see
the beginning of the end.
We now have received about every
thing necessary to our comfort and
amusement Baseballs, indoor balls,
musical instruments, checkers, dom1-
noes, football, and now all the fellows
need to make life worth living Is an
order to go home.
Tuesday afternoon about 4 o'clock
while the men were lying around quar-
ters, some with shoes off, some asleep,
and some playing games, the lieuten-
ant rushed in and told the fellows to
fall in at once with rifles and am
munition, and stated that a riot was
in progress down where Mother Jones
was speaking. In less than minutes
we were going down Michiga Avenue,
to beat the band. Just before reach
ing the business center the colonel
came out in a machine and stopped
US, stating that the trouble was over,
and sent us back to quarters.
Rain coats were issued here yester-
day and the remainder of the shoes
will be issued today. The fellows are
all ready to go home and if anything
should turn up to discourage them we
will certainly have sore bunch.

Private Kleinknecht has hired out
to one of the down town restaurants
as a cockroach detective, and claims
to be making good on the job. Private
Hodge rolled out Of his bunk this
