As a com panion to this, there is an old "Queen's Arm," which was used by Conn in the Revolution and brought by him to bis home in New Hampshire and thence to lietbel, Mo., where he was a resident in ihe early forties.

Among the novelties can be seen a :eutury old clock reel, every part of rood, with a device to count the forty breads in the grandmother's knot of ; ram. Beside the bureau stands the old >ne-leaf table, oblong in ehape and Irawer on one side. Then again, there s the loom, brought in by tbo early j lettler, with its reeds of whalebone.

Mr. Spauldlng was born in Buckfleld, Me., 74 years ago, and while still a young man moved to Aroostook county, mak ing his home in Fort Fairfield for a few yeara before coming to Caribou. It was at Fort Fairfield that he became ac quainted with and married Miss Lavina Sterling of that town, and to them two children were born, John S. Spauldlng, who died several yeara ago, and Atwood W. Spaulding, who haa been associated with bis father in buslneaa for a number of years. . Mr. Spaulding was one of the found ers of the Presque Isle National Bank of Presque Isle and also of tha Arooatook Trust Co. of Caribou and a director In both at the time of his death. For sev eral years he haa been a director of the Bangor & Aroostook R. R. and took an active interest in the affaire of the road. From 1870 until 1892 he served his town in the position of town clerk. He waa a member of Caribou Lodge, F. and A. M., and a member of the Univeraalist church, where he waa a constant attend ant. Mr. Spaulding waa especially fond of children and there was nothing he en joyed more than doing some act of kind ness for a child.

Safety First. Officers and employees of the Grand rrunk Railway are trying by every neane in their power, to prevent injuries :o all persons—patrons, employees and >tbers. But on looking into this sub ect, they find that more than one-half >f all persons killed on railways in Can ida and the United States, are killed vhile trespassing on railway property, η this way in these two countries, fif een persons are killed and about the ame number injured for every day in he year. Perhaps you may think that the 11,000 >r more persons meeting with casualties ivery year while trespassing on railways ire tramps or hoboes; but the fact is hat SO percent of them are useful citi ons. Men walking on tracks to and rom tbeir places of work or business, :hildreu playing on tracks or flipping are comprise the greater part of this haraeful slaughter. To most people it seldom occurs that η walking on tracks they are taking any •articular risk. It seems so easy to see >r hear a train and when one thinks bout the subject at all, he likely con ludes that while others may have been aught he will be more vigilant and es ape. Those injured and killed in this way ,re not the only ones who suffer. Their amiiies being deprived of their earning tower are called upon to bear a large hare of the burden. The public is de rived of the services of this large army if persons and in a great percentage of ases are compelled to contribute to the are and maintenance of such persons ,nd dependent members in their fami iee. In view, therefore, of these facts and η tho interest of public safety, every lerson is earnestly requested not to walk m or along railroad tracks both on ac ount of his own eafety and for the sake f setting a good example to others. Wo «k parente to call this subject to the at· ention of their children and instruot hem as to the danger of walking or •laying on or about tracks and of flip ting cars. lu VUIO UUUUVVbiVU Ιβ· v*'· ·" ention to another source of iDjury phicb is quite common, due to failure >f persons to stop and look in both di ections for approaching trains when bout to cross tracks At highways or ither places. Komember that trains nay move on any track at any time. We lo not believe that any person is so busy hat he cannot take the few seconds be ore crossing a track to make sure that here is no approaching train. By all □eans never "duck under" crossing ;atesor across tracks when warned not ο do so by signal from flagman or other ource. — Safety Committee, Grand ["runk Railway, Montreal Division. Laundry Burned at Mexico. A little before 2 o'clock Tuesday aorning, the Oth, fire broke out in the lodel Steam Laundry on Main Street, Aexico.
