Electric Road Employees
Miss Sunrise On Fishing Trim

Several members OF the operating
crews OF the Androscoggin and Ken
nebec railroad are smiling broad
smiles. these days. as they think OF
a fishing trip taken by one of their
number and a former employe OF
the road, recently.
The story as told by some OF the
boys is rather amusing. II seems
that the present, and the ex-carman
had been fishing before this year
with poor luck, and felt that they
would steal march on tho other
fishermen. by going to the lake the
night before and getting up with the
sun. So they took the last car out
and carrying plenty OF fuel with
them, went to the lake and built
themselves a fine fire. later wrapping
themselves up and lying down to
pleasant dreams"
When next they saw the light OF
day, the rays of the morning sun
were beating down much more per
pendicular than they should at sun
rise. and upon glancifg at their
watch. the boys made the startling
discovery that rnless the sun had
been very late in arriving that
morning. they had missed it by n
long time, as 1t was very close to y
o'clock. In some way the story has
leaked out in spite of the fact that
they tried to keep II q dark secret,
and they are now standing for a lit
tie chatting.

Members Kennebec
Bar to Tender Banquet
To Retiring Justice

The members of the Kennebec Bar
will on April 80, tend banquet to
Judge Fred Emery Beane, whose
resignation takes effect on May l,
after IS years on the bench. Judge
Beane has held the love, respect and
confidence of every member of the
Kennebec Bar, and of all other at
torneys with whom he has come in
contact, and this Is well proven by
the fact that near the close of his
first term on the bench, q petition
signed by every member of the Ken
nebec Bar save one; was presented to
Governor Milliken, requesting his re-
appointment. Judge Beane declared
at the opening of the April term of
court, In q speech with which he re-
sponded to the applause of the at
torneys as he entered the court rooIS
that the one man, a close friend OF
his had very good reason for not
signing the petition.
The banquet Is to be held at the
Augusta House at $50, and probably
every member OF the Kennebec Bar
will be present. There will also be
a few invited guests from the pro-
ression. outside Of the Kennebec Bar
and the supreme court justices re-
siding in this county.
A committee consisting of Rur-
leigh Martin of Augusta, George
Heselton of Gardiner and Carol n.
Perkins of Waterville, is in charge
OF the arrangements for this banquet.

Says Bis Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James II. Allen. Of Rochester, N.
L., suffered for years with rheumatism.
Many times this terrible disease left him
helpless and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years Of cease
less study, that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated i'm
purities. commonly called uric acid de-
posits. were dissolved in the joints and
muscles and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians. made experiments and finally
compounded a prescription that quickly
and completely banished every sign and
symptom of rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery. which he
called Allenrhu. to others who took It,
with what might be called marvellous
success. After years of urging he decided
to let sufferers everywhere know about his
discovery through the newspapers. He
has therefore instructed druggists every
where to dispense Allenrhu with the I'M
derstanding that II the first pint bottle
does not show the way to complete re-
covery he will gladly return your money
without comment. All druggistB-6ardi-
