At a farm house south of the village

Ground was broken for the extension
of the motor railway south of Congress
street Monday. The attempt was made
to do the plowing with traction engine
as a motive power, but after breaking
two plows it was abandoned. No one
was hurt, but three men holding the
last plow used were thrown forward by
the handles, giving the crowd of spectators an exhibition of ground and
lofty tumbling not"intended. One of
the men, Ed. Clark, was stunned by his
fall.but soon recovered. The sight was
comical, despite the danger to the men.

The storage battery- system of operating str-ie.^ Ci\c§ seerns tQ have proven
perfectly satisfactory in Mllford, Mass.,
where it has heen in operation for a
year without a single failure or breakdown. The operators claim thrt they
have a car now which when completely
equipped with storage battries is lighter by a ton than a trolley car of the
same passenger capacity, and that it
runs without any of the uoise which
accompanies the operation of the trolley. As to its superiority in the matter
of safety to human life and in not obstructing tho street there is uo room
for question.—Free Press.
The Only Picture Ever Painted by a President's Wife to be Presented to
the Public.
It may uot be known toeveryone that
Mrs. Benjamin Hay-rison. is one of the
bestof Americaniiqvyey^palnters. Since
she lu^s, qpenpied her position of lady of
the White House, however, her public
duties havo largely prevented the exercise of her artistic genius; but in
that period she has found leisure to
paint one of thelovelist representations
of flower-life that ever came from an
artist's brush,—a magnificent group of
orchids on a porcelain panel. With
that broad and kindly spirit which has
marked her career, she has presented
this single production Qf her scant
leisure to the public, a.u.3. Demorest's
Magazine has. the honor of being the
medium thr.Qu.gh. which. tl\is, py,\nttug is
offered, tft the leathers, wives aud
daughters of Amey-joa, to whom it is
loviBgly dedicated.
There is no taint of politics in it: it
is simply the tribute of a good woman's
love for the woman of her nation,
superbly expressed iu color and form,—
the foremost woman of the Republic
cementing, by means of her art, her
sisterhood with nil others of her sex in
the land.
Mrs. Harrison's painting Inis been reproduced in the highest stylo of art. of
the same size as the original {Ilixl.5
inches), and is an absolutely perfect
counterpart, in every particular, to
the faintest tint of color, and even to
the peculiar texture of ihe porcelain. .
With, each copy of Demorest's Magazine for October one of these wonder*
ful-reproductions of a "White. EfarjSK
Orchid," Painted by the Phesi-
dent's Wieb, ^u the White House, is
to be. presented freer. .

ND'S PAPER.
Tvllo   Slade It a
.orrse for Anybody.
I heard •■[good one about Billy
Tompkins," l|Jid one of a group of commercial travellers last night in the
Continental Hotel. "You know Billy
travels for Pluellen & Co."
A-murmur and a reminiscent assent
was the response.
"Well, sir," continued the first
speaker, "you know what a hustler he
is. Did some slashing business last
fall, and the firm gave him a check for
a bonus and told him to go and take a
trip to Europe. Well, sir.Billy set out
to have a real good time, and he had
it. While he was in London he took
lunch one day at the famous tavern in
the city called the 'Ship and Turtle,'
where a sovereign just about sees you
through your lunch, and he had imbibed a little too much 'turtle' punch.
"When he left there he was run out
of small change, and he thought he
-would play big and go to the Bank of
England and get a £20 note redeemed
in gold. 'That's the way I'll change
it,' quoth he. So into the dingy old
building he strode, and putting his
£20 note down before the cashier's
window, said: 'Give me gold for that,
will you?'
'"Certainly, sir,' said the cashier,
'just put your name on the back of it,
please.1
"Then Billy, tipsywise, saw a chance
for some fun, and replied:
"'My name on it!   What for?'
"'Oh, mere formality—note withdrawn, you know. Tell how it came
back to bank.    Customary thing.'
"'I'll be darned if I'll sigu it,' says
Billy. "You don't catch me going
around endorsing any corporation's
Xiaper in this reckless style.'
'"Why, my dear sir,' gasped the
astounded cashier, 'this is a Bank of
England note, goodlqr its face value
the world over.1
'"Don't care,1 said Billy, with tipsy
gravity. 'I am not familiar with the
financial condition of the Bank of Eng-
land,and hanged if I endorse its paper.
I am an American.'
'"If you were a Fiji Islander,1 almost
shrieked the cashier, 'you ought to
know the value of a Bank of England
note.1
'"Well,1 persisted Billy, 'what do you
want me to endorse it for? I endorse
it, don1t I, if I sign my name to the
back?1
'"Great heavens!' ejaculated the
cashier,goaded to a condition of frenzy
by Billy's, imperturbable manner.
'Where do sueh people as this come
from? $f it was the note of hand of a
laa,nkru.pt <3atvs* meat man he couldn't
he njore suspicious.. Here you, sir.
Will you.- sign the note?1
"•So,.sir.. I made a vow that I would
never put my name on any promises to
pay.'
"'Send for the manager,1 shouted the
cashier, turning to a clerk. 'He will
explain it to you,' added he.turuing to
Billy.
"The manager came, and all at once
Billy's manner changed and in the
most urbane manner possible he told
him he did not understand at first the
necessity for signing, and, putting his
name on the note with a flourish, got
gold coins for it and walked out, leaving the two officials looking after him
with puzzled faces.
"Billy told them all at tho Hotel
Metropole over a glass of hot wbisky
and water, and asked:
"'Did I get a rise out of the Bank of
England, or did I not?'"
The general opinion -was that he did.
—Helena Independent.
There "Were 'Prejudices.
The young man from New York had
arrived in the western town about 4
o'clock in the afternoon and taken
apartments at the hotel, says the Detroit Free Press. Just before supper
—pardon the achronism. dinner—jusl
before dinner he came down into the
office, arrayed in the latest, topped oft
with a silk hat and tapered out with
patent-leathers.
The landlord restrained himself
with an effort when the dude appeared.
"Excuse me, mister," he said, twitching his lingers nervously, "do you expert to wear that around this town?"
"Wear what?" inquired the guest in
surprise.
"That hat!" and the landlord nodded
toward it.
"I thought I would."
"And that hard-biled shirt?"
"I thought so."
"And them clo's?"
"Yes."
"And them, shiners on your feet?"
"Yes."
The guest was gazing at the landlord in innocent amazement and tlie
landlord was trying to keep his Adam's
apple' from popping out and falling on
the floor.
"Didn't you come out here as a first-
class passenger?" he finally got his
voice into shape for iuquiring.
"Certainly 1 did. I don't look like I
r*ada in a stock-car or walked, do I?"
The landlord struggled with himself
some more.
"Do you expect to go baek the same
way?"
"I certainly do."
"Well, mis'ter," the landlord by tbis
time had overcome his natural instincts and had laid his hand kindly
OH tbo shoulders of his guest, "yon
won't do it if you wear them clo's
around this town—you won't, by
gum*"
"And why not?" asked the bewildered easterner.
"Because you'll go home as freight,
and you'll be ready to bo shipped" on
the first train to-morrow. Our people
have got some-prejudices that's bound
to be respected, or there'll be shdotin'
•bore." ,

•Hiek's pond, in Palrnyra, Me., is a
strange body of water. It is only
twelve acres in. area, but is more thaii
100 feet in depth. It has no visible inlet, although a fair-sized stream flows
from it into Lake Sebasticook. The
volume of its waters is not materially
