LEAVE HOLE IN VEST POCKET
Rent Should Never Be Darned, Says
JeWeler. and Gives Good Rea-
son for His Advice.

Here is Joyous news for wives who
thousands nd-one other articles of APP
parel Madam, meet Mr.. Hole-in-the-
Vest Pocket who has been decreed a
blessing in disguise, and who must new
er, never under any circumstances, be
sewn up or mended.
Here's the dope remarks New York
Sun writer
If you knew anything about mems
vest pockets you would know that dust,
such as settles on the top of the mantel
where you never dust, accumulateS in
the corners or the lining of the pockets.
Such dust does no harm, except in the
one in which the watch is carried, says
a jeWeler.
"YOu have a fine watch says the
ieweler. you put i. in a pocketful of
dust and what happens? After awhile
some of the,dust works its way into the
works and the timeleeping ability of
the watch is ruined. so, what can we
do to overcome this? 1t is simple.
Punch a little hole in the pocket, then
the dust will all sift down into the
nterlining of the vest, and your watch
will have a clean pocket to lie in. You
will be surprised how it will help your
watch"
SO you see, madam, such holes must
rot be darned

FOR FAITHFUL SERVICE.
Frank f. Gray Honored by Patrons
of II, Il, ID. 2, Ellsworth.

Frank E. Gray, carrier on X. F. ID.
2, Ellsworth, was the guest of honor,
with Mrs. Gray, at a supper and re-
ception at the Grange hall in La

the patrons of the route as a testi-
monial of appreciation for Mr.. Gray's
twenty-one years of efficient and
faithful service on the route. About
200 were present. On December l
Mr.. Gray will go on the retired list,
having passed the age limit; in fact,
he has already been retained two
years over time by an extension of
his service.
The reception was an expression
of the good will of the people on the
route whom Mr. Gray has so long
and so obligingly served, in fair
weather and foul The good will
was also expressed in words by j..
Sherman Douglas, who sprang the
surprise of the evening for Mr.. Gray
when he presented him with a gold
watch and chain and a combination
charm of the Masons and odd Eel
lows. Mr.. Gray was entirely at loss
to express in words the appreciation
he felt. The watch was suitably en-
graved, as presented by friends of Il.
f. d. 2.
Postmaster c. H. Leland of Ellis
worth also spoke An original poem
telling of the change from the old
postofIice days to the r. f. ID. was
read by Mrs. Leila Smith, recitations
were given by Hiram Emery and
Harry Woods, and Mrs. Lacordia
Davis sang. The evening was en-
joyed thoroughly by all present.
