 Paris. March 26.-Members of the Jockey Club, most exclusive of it's kind in Europe, have resolved to boy colt taxicabs owing to the extraordi- nary increase in taxi rates. Any mem Der infringing on this covenant" will be fined s20.
 This is but one of innumerable in stances showing that France means to beat down the prices The long suf- fering middle class especially is ris- ing in it's wrath and is resolved to forego every unnecessary expense rather than play the gougers game" The economy movement is gaining ground steadily.
 It has spread to the highest society circles, whose members are rushing to join the Economy League and offset by stubborn boycott, the ever grow Ing cost of living. Society events this season will be the cheapest on rec ord, all matrons being determined to cooperate in the economy drive.
 King Alfonso of Spain is the first royal member of the new league for the repression of extravaganza. Thor oughly approving the initiative taken the other day by Maurice Rothschild, Edmond de Blanc and other fashion ablea Parisians in appearing at the AuteuiI race course in shabby old suits to give society lesson in fooling the profiteers, the popular Spanish mon arch has resolved to give some les sons of his own.
 The King has decided to drop stiff shirts and collars and wear only the more comfortable and less expensive sport shirts with soft, durable collar: and soft cuffs, except, of course, in tho l evening when stiff shirts and collar: are usually unavoidable.

Fish and Game

The Inland Fisheries and Game
Department has received from Chief
Warden Otis Taylor of the Northern
Washington district, report of the
death of deer on account of an at
tack of dog, on Musquash lake,
Washington county. The dog, when
discovered. had evidently been fight
ing the deer for a considerable time
but as the travelling on the lake was
extremely bad-the water being
from six inches to a foot in depth
and the ice not strong enough to
hold person, it was impossible to
get near either deer or dog. The
deer was practically dead when the
warden was able to shoot the dog
and reach it.
In this connection we are per-
mitted to quote from letter re-
ceived at the department., as fol-

ADJUSTMENTS
NO BLUES EXIST
| WHERE "PEGEEN"
SHEDS HER SMILE

The great joy play>-that'S what
'Pegeen" is. 1t is one of the very
latest Vitagraph productions and it
will be seen at the Colonial theatre
this afternoon and evening. AS a
gloom chaser and blue banisher, it is
without an equal. 1t is not a comedy
as such, but just a wonderfully de-
lightful Irish play in which the
heroine is continually shedding hap
piness all around her and being hap
py herself in doing it.
Bessie Love is the star of the pro-
duction. Fascinating at all times,
she seems more winsome in this
photoplay than ever before. The
spirit of "Pegeen" got into Miss
Loves soul when she was making
the picture and for weeks after
wards she went around trying to
make everyone happy. She admit
ter herself that she got n great deal
of enjoyment out Of it and expressed
the opinion that in order. to know.
what real enjoyment is one must
make others happy.
Pegeen TO all appearances is Just
a drudge. She does the work that
other folks object to doing. Pegeen
never complains and if by working n
few hours overtime, she can make
life easier for some other person she
feels amply repaid.
This little wisp Of a girl reminds
one of the Chinese wisdom. She for
gets self and yet retains her individ-
uailty; she does good without
thought of recompense; recompenses
injury with kindness and when
honor is coming she moves into tho
shadow.
Whlle Pegeen is always trying to
lighten the burdens of humanity. she
is not lacking in will power. She has
'he lrlsh determination and fighting
spirit as we'll as the Irish wit.
Ian ONeiil was not a. bad sort
but drink and the death of his wife
mad turned his mind and he had
drifted into wrong doing. A posse
IN search of a firebug rounded Dan
o'Nelll in cabin and set fire TO If
Pegeen learned that her father
was confined in the cabin and went
70 ms bedside. The old man was
aging and Pegeen faced death TO
make his last few moments as happv
as possible. Her absolute faith in
the unseen powers forced her to bo.
lieve that the flames could not toucb
her and they did not, as is shown in
"Pegeen."
JOY is provided in "Pegeen" and
for unadulterated hilarity Monkey
Stuff with the astounding ape Joe
Martin doing the acting is sure to
prove as big hit TODAY as the great
irish feature. Joe Martin stands
alone when it comes to doing almost
human things. He does everything
but vote and he could probably do
that as we'll as some people. A new

Kilograms complete the bill.-Adv

Commissioner Smith calls attention
to the fire which recently caused
such heavy damage to the Portland
High school, the fire having it's
origin in a corner of the basement
and working its way to the upper
doors Of that million dollar building,
which might have been extin-
guished in the very beginning, thus
saving a tremendous financial and
economic loss.
In quoting the business Of fire in
surance for the past year, Commits
sioner Smith states that the net
risks written reached the impressive
figures of s463,s1S,757, as compared
with $401 .650,006 for the previous
year. an increase of s62,16S,751. The
premiums paid by the people of
Maine for the past year for fire in
surance only were $6,496,39S and the
net losses paid by insurance COM
panies were $2,173,973, an increase
OF ss1,96o over the preceding year.

expected to make daily rounds, or
dering the removal of hazardous
buildings, or structures and the
cleaning up of rubbish IN cellars and

ings, especially those of the larger
schools and particularly SO where
