THINK OFG R AN T’S CAMPS, KENNEBAGO, MAINE,

When Packing up for that Fishing Trip. Fly Fishing de luxeED GRANT <& SONS, Kennebago, Maine

»# > »• • • • • • • • • • • • • — W —— — — — —

Harry Atwood, the celebrated aviator, who made the famous flight from St. Louis to New’ York, may fly to Rangeley ait tb ' Jpg of the fishing season, ^g with himfishing aquii . l, if plans already on foot are successful.

It is understood that Mr. Atwood Is very anxious to make the trip, for he is not only an enthusiastic air man but a good fisherman as well.

He will be kept advised by wire regarding the probability of the ice leaving the Rangeley Lakes at a certain time. Just before that happy event occurs he will tune up his latest flying machine and whirl away what is perhaps the most famous fishing water in the world.

There has been considerable inter- j i est displayed in the probable route1 that Mr. Atwood would select for such a trip. It is believed by some

! that he would take Itdie ocean course 1 j from Boston to Portland and then j fly northward through the towns on !| the line of the Maine Central rail- i j road, via Farmington and Phillips to Rangeley.

Or he may decide that a shorter i and better course would be via Portland and Rumford Falls to Oano- ssoc and thence to Rangeley.

Maine Woods has already wired Mr. Atwood for information’ concern-, ing his proposed flight. It is be- j lieved that such an attempt would result in a large amount of interest ; being shown by the residents along the line of flight.

You can’t buy a safer, faster, harder, a more even shooting or a better keeping load- than W inchester “ Leader” shells. For field,

fowl, or trap shooting, they are in a class by themselves, and give entire satisfaction in any

make of shotgun. The results they give are düe to their patented construction and the careful and exact manner in which they are loaded. The patent Corrugated Head used on Winchester shells is an invaluable feature. It absorbs the shock of the powder explosion and takes the strain from the paper tu be instead of localizing it, as the old English method of metal lining does. That’s why “ Leader” shells are stronger and less apt to cut off at the mouth of the shells than shells made according to English ideas of long ago. If you want the m ost satisfactory shells made, ask for W in c h e s t e r Factory# Loaded “ Leader” shells.Th'' Shell with the Patented Corrugated Head

NEW HAVEN, CONN.BETS ARE MADE

ON GOING OF ICEExperts a t Mt. View Favor May 15

For Ice to Leave*

(Special to Main© Woods.)Mountain View, April 23.—On© of

the surest signs of spring is the betting that is going forward on the time that the ice will probably leave the lakes. May 15 is the favorite date, but others earlier in the season have been mentioned.

Signs of spring are everywhere. The roads are very muddy and sleighs have been stoned away. Wagons are now in use, the first one from Rangeley arrived driven by Charles Hun toon, who was accompanied by that famous Rangeley guide, A1 Sprague.

There is a narrow strip of open water on the lake shone. The lake is rising every day. This with the continued warm weather speaks louder than words of the coming of the fishing season.

The carpenters are here finishing the piazza begun last fall. The long steps have been done away with, lattice work taking their place, making a marked improvement on the appearance of the house from the water front. A new bath room has been added to the second cottage, so that all the cottages now have hot and cold water and baths.

The river drivers are beginning to arrive for the different drives. The Cupsuptic River drive starts this week. There are 6,000,000 feet of timber to come down this little river this spring. From 80 to 100 men will be employed on the drive.

It is understood that deer have wintered well, for the snow came late. For this reason the deer did not have to yard unto.1 late.

PHILLIPS GIRLS RIDE GRACEFULLY

But Do Not Favor the Side Saddle*

Use Divided Skirt Instead.

There are a number of young women in Phillips who are expert equestriennes, riding with much grace through the streets of the village.

Almost to a woman they favor riding astride, using for this purpose flowing divided skirts instead of the tight riding “ breeches” favored by Miss Eieanora Sears, the expert and much talked about Boston horsewoman.

The afternoon is the time favored by the young women in .question for their rides. They make a striking cavalcade as they dash about town, riding as a rule with easy grace. The most of the young women prefer the American style of riding to the English saddle and shortened stirrups.

Among those who are seen in the saddle are Miss Florian Wheeler,

MAINE WOODS, PHILLIPS, MAINE, APRIL 25, 1912.

Miss Gladys Bates, Miss Ella Beal, Miss Elizabeth Toothaker, Miss Catherine Noble, Miss Horten.se Butler, Mrs. C. Nell Parker and Miss Ina Badger.

Miss Wheeler is an especially expert rider, haying been in the saddle more or less from childhood. She has the faculty of training horses to. saddle gaits. One of her latest accomplishments in this line has been the education of a horse owned by a well known Phillips liveryman. Under her tutelage the horse has improved wonderfully as a saddler.

Many favorable comments have been heard regarding the young woman riding astride instead of side saddle, as has been the custom in this part of the country in years past. Horsemen say that ¡this method of riding is much safer, for there is less danger of being thrown than when perched on a horse in the side saddle position.

There has been some agitation over the formation of a riding club, but as yet no definite action has been taken in regard to the matter.

It shall also be unlawful for any person to have in possession in any one day more than eight black bass taken from said Twitchell pond.

FAVORS BOUNTY ON HOUSE CATS

F. L. ButLer a reader of Maine woods, who lives in another state, writes an interesting letter anent the bob cat question, Mr. Butler says in part:

the boys and some of the grown men would buy, if the former rifles could be sold cheap enough. Having no great amount of ready money, Mr. Turner induced a leading citizen of Boston to sign his bond; and from then on he ceased to be an advertising agent and began to attend the 1 public auction sales of out-of-date government fire-arms.

Of course, there were other federal weapons disposed of at those sales—

, ancient Merrill carbines, early Remington rifles, cumbersome Winchesters, which fired 16 shots without reloading, and so on down the l is t - including some breech loaders whose very names are now forgotten. But|

i Mr. Turner knowing exactly what he wanted, confined himself exclusive ly to the ancient Springfield muzzle- loaders, many of which our boys In blue had carried for months and perhaps years, and loaded from prepared cartridges, holding powder, rifle bullet and two buckshot—the same kind of cartridges the old and young soldiers in action used to bite apart with their teeth when in the melee of a fight.

MANY PETITIONS TO CLOSE STREAMS

Commissioners Are Kept Busy with Hearings about the State*

Among the recent petitions received by the commissioners of Inland Fisheries and Game, is that of F. W. Knowl- ton and 58 others of Oldtown, Bangor and vicinity, who believe that there should be additional close time on Suk- haze stream and its tributaries. This stream rises in Township 32 and empties into the Penobscot river at Milford.

George W. Staples and nine others of ; Temple have asked that all fishing be ! prohibited in Staples pond and its tributaries for a term of three or four years.

There was a hearing on the matter i of the Sukhaze stream fishing, at the | municipal court room, Oldtown, at 3 45 p. m., April 23. A hearing was also assigned for 7. 45 p. m., the same date, at the Lincoln House, Lincoln, to

| act upon matters brought to the attention of the commissioners by residents

j of Springfield, Carroll ai d Lakeville ! plantation.

The following regulations have been ! adopted relative to fishing in Jimmy | Pond in Litchfield:

Section 1—It shall be unlawful for any per?on to fish for, take, catch or kill, any kind of fioh at any time in Jim my pond, so-called, in the town of Litchfield, county of Kennebec, or in any of the tributaries to said pond or in the outlet stream of said pond down as far as Buker pond, so-called.

Section 2—It shall also be unlawful 1 for any person to fish for, take, catch or kill any kind of fish on or through the ice in said Buker pond, so-called, or in Sand pond, so-called, or in Long or Purgatory pond, so-called, or in Little Purgatory pond, so-called, which waters are Bituated wholly or partly in saidtown of Litchfield. ______________

Section 3—It shall also be unlawful for any person to have in possession any kind of fish taken in violation of any'provision of these regulations.

right to butt in on state questions, but to say what I think means, put a bounty of $10 on bob cats and then $25 on domestic cats, as they are as bad in some -ways as bob cats and no earthly use to any one.

“ There should also be a bounty on such pests as skunks, minks, weasels and ground hogs. Also on all kinds of hawks, owls, blue jays and English sparrows, crows and sparrows.

“ The trap and trapper have as j good a right in the field as the dog | and gun. I own a fine dog, but am not afraid to hunt him anywhere, ro matter how many traps are set

OLD-TIME RIFLES BROUGHT FORTUNE

Turner Bought Antiquated Guns by Thousand and Had ' Them

Re-bored*

How George W. Turner of Dorchester, Mass, made a fortune out of servicable but out °f date firearms is told by a Bangor writer in an interesting manner. Says this authority:

“ Mr. Turner was a young advertising agent in Boston ait the close of the Civil war. When the volunteer federal army was disbanded more than a million of the old Spring- field, muzzle-loading rifles were put up for sale at public auction, whereupon a Bright Idea came to young Mr. Turner. He would bid in every Springfield musket he could buy, have them bored out and converted into shot-guns, and then advertise them for sale, believing that many of

field rifle for an average rate of 12 cents each by the hundred or some 7 to 8 cents each by the 1,000; and | kept buying—all he could secure; an ; while he was making his purchases, he was contracting with gun-makers to have his Springfied rifles bored j out into serviceable shot-guns for about 16 to 20 cents each; so in the end he could advertise “ Shot-Guns i For Boys at $1.50 Each.’ ' He had ! branch houses iu Boston, Pittsburg and St. Louis; and at. the close o f 1 of his first year he was doing a land-office business all over the ] country, and making much money as a salesman of fire arms.

“ The business of Mr. Turner stop- ! ped when the supply of Springfields | gave out, and not until then.

The only reminder that eastern1 Maine now has of these tough and hard-shooting Springfields comes when a leading dry goods store on Main street, Bangor, fills its show wtodows with army, navy and cavalr revolvers and unbored out Spring- fields, which are strictly true to name and it© nature, but which are rapidly becoming antiquated and out of date, though all of them are more than worth the prices for which they are advertised and sold.

Wars and rumors of wars have nearly ceased to agitate the minds of the civilized world. More as curiosities of the past, than as serviceable weapons of today, these ancient weapons now adorn offices, armories and hall-racks, as samples of what1 were fashionable in the past, and might be in vogue today, had not. ' the gain in civilized notions placed fighting with fists, clubs or firearms so very much under a perpetual taboo.

ENJOYS RAMBLING IN MAINE WOODS

East Hampton, Conn., Apr. 9, 1912. To the Editor of Maine Woods:

I gladly send you my two dollars for the joy of reading about your Maine woods for the next two years. I should like to receive your paper each Saturday evening, as I live far from town and could enjoy my even.* ing’s ramble in your Maine Woods weekly until all wild life has disappeared and there is not enough left to spot a well defined trail upon.

There seems a little uncertainty about the just owners of our timber land and wild life that ought to tranquillize soon. Buit with your denuded rocky lakes, mountains and streams, with much of the wild life gone, your Switzerland of Am. erica will be about as attractive to campers, hunters and guides as the isand of Juan Fernandes was to Robinson Cruso.

1 don’t know as much about Mr. and Mrs. Bob Cat as I do about Mr. and Mrs. Bob White. Probably one pair of bob cats woud be enough to stock 50 square miles and make wild life quite interesting in their direction, to primitive Americans.

CLEVELAND’S GUIDE.Addison B. Heath, Famous Berkshire

Hunter, Had Well-known Patrons.

Shoots with Great Skill Although 86 Years Old, Making Bullseyes at 260 Yards.

In order that he might begin his 86th year of life on the hunting path, Addison B. Heath of Tyringham tramped 10 miles over the roads o f the Berkshires to take out his hunting license for 1912.

He celebrated bis birthday recently by going with gun and rod over the paths where in years gone by, he piloted Grover Cleveland, Richard Watson Gilder and other national characters whom he came to know as guide and friend in the intimacy that is born when two men are thrown together in the wild places, says the Boston Post.

Unimpaired in faculties, despite wounds received in the Civil war, still able to get 17 bullseyes out of 20 at 260 yards, familiar with every foot of the Berkshire hills, Mr. Heath is confident that he is today as competent a hunter and guide as he ever was in the days spent with the ex-President and the poet.

Every year since the law required a license for hunting, Mr. Heath has carried his license pinned in his inner vest pocket, and his “ season” has annually begun on April 4, the anniversary of his birth. Each year, prior to getting the permit, he has put himself to a severe test—20 shots at a tiny target 260 yards away—to make sure that his aim was still accurate.

As time has successively taken the great men for whom he has acted as guide, he has grieved over theirdeath, always and still hoping that others of renown may come to the fastness of the Berkshires and that he may know them as he knew the others.

Mr. Heath’s opportunity to act as guide to President Cleveland, Mr. Gilder and others whom he has know began more than 10 years ago, when Mr. Gilder was living at “Riverside,” a summer home in Tyringham township and close to the famous Berkshire trout stream.

There Mr. Cleveland spent a sum-

is to get at tho cause, if possible, ani remove it. Headache is only a symptom of trouble somewhere in the system, and dosing with tablets or powders containing acetani.id or other coal-tar dorivatives which stop the pain temporarily but weaken the heart, is at once unsafo and unwise. The headache may cerne from your eyes, then a good oculist can help you at once with proper eyeglasses; but if it comes with furred tongue, loss of appetite, nausea, and constipation, it is usually the result of disordered digestion, or torpid liver, and one or two doses of L.

In using this old reliable remedy, you take no chances of weakening the heart’s action.

mer as the author’s guest, and became so enchanted with the seclusion and wildness of the locality and the hunting and fishing pos- sibiities that he at one time contemplated buying a place there as he later did in New Hampshire.

Mr. Heath’s great renown as a hunter, and his lesser fame as a disciple of Izaak Walton, then and now was spread broadcast through Berkshire county. To him, therefore, the distinguished summer visitor came most naturally to be piloted through the section which today is almost as wild and uncharted as it was in Colonial times.

In his company Mr. Gilder whipped the trout streams that foam down from the hills and received inspiration for poems that added to his fame. His phraseology made a profound and polished diction and lasting impression on the old hunter, one that he still retains.

President Cleveland, however, hefound the more communicative ofthe two, and the one-time chief executive of the nation was openly pleased when he discovered that his rigid idea of sportsmanship were shared by Mr. Heath.

The abundance of trout in the region largely determined the nature of the excursions, and the two the President and the guide, sometimes with the poeit as a third in the party, plunged Into the woods with their rods bound for a trout stream five times for every once that they set out with their guns.

Mr. Heath still remembers the strenuousness of the trips with Mr. Cleveland, for though the latter was then past the 76 mark, he did not know the meaning of fatigue or hunger when the sporft was good and the trout were rising.

No path was too rough, no hill too steep, no section too wild for Mr. Cleveland. His enthusiasm over the sport, whether finny, feathered or four-footed, invariably exceeded that of his guide.

Mr. Cleveland was wont to discourse on the conceptions of the sportsman in the true sense of the word. In word and deed Mr. Heath found him as he himself is, never willing to take an unfair advantage of his game, never using any method of capture that did not put a premium on extreme skill, a consistent and bitter enemy of the man who killed or captured out of season.

No deoent sportman, President Cleveland told Mr. Heath on one of their excursions, would ever disobey the game laws, or countenance disobedience on the part of anyone else.

He delared himself to be unalterably opposed to the notion thatj the sins of the camp should be forgotten in the whirl of city life. He

insisted that a just and conscientious sportsman should and could not even then forget that his friend, no matter how upright and honest in every-1 day life, had sneaked out at night to shoot ducks or hired some miserable creature to set night lines for fish.

On more than one fishing trip he and the old hunter discussed ways and means of game preservation. Again and again, Mr. Cleveland told him that the need was not so much for new laws or more laws, but for i the enforcement of existing laws b y , sportsmen themselves—by the ostracism of those so-called sportsmen who violated them, or who shot or fished j just to make a record bag, regardless of whether the game were needed for1 food.

It was one early morning when; President Cleyeland had left rod and tackle behind and was tramping alon with his servicable 12-gauge shot-j gun that he expounded bis theory on rabbits—together with a word of reproval for unsportsmanlike hunters. The rabbit, he told his guide, may furnish excellent and exhil ©rating sport for all it is commonly looked down upon, if, however, the pursuit of it is properly conducted.

Start a rabbit going at full speed, he declared, and it is a skillful mark man indeed who can bring it down with any certainty. Bu/t, and he did not fail to castigate the unsportsmanlike bunter, too many (hunters ease their conscience by calling the common cotton tall rabbit a bare, and then consider it good sport to shoot the little animals while sitting at rest or within too easy a range.

He endured the rigors of bunting and fishing in the rough region of which Tyringham is a part, because, as he aways declared, a hunter is bora, not made. Only an ineradicabl love of the sport could reconcile the hunter to discomforts and empty game bags.

Since his hunting days began he has killed no less than 74 wildcats, countless foxes, many coons, and quantities of the smaller game that; still abounds in the almost unexplored fastnesses of a part of the Berk- j shires.

To the credit of the infallibility of his aim, his cool nerve and the ac- 1 curacy of a little 22-calibre rifle, is the skin of the only panther, as far as is known ever killed in the state.

The Peabody Museum in Cambridge has on exhibition the rude tree trunk burned out by Indians, it is estimated, 300 or more years ago, to make a canoe, and this was found by Mr. Heath wh n he roamed through the Berkshire thickets 67 years ago. Abandoned, no one knows when nor where, the canoe, as smooth and round inside from red- hot stones as it was rough outside, had at last become imbedded in four feet of soil. From one of the knots a young tree had sprouted many years before and had grown to full size when Mr. Heath, on chopping it down, found the novel boat when he tried to extricate the roots of the offshoot.

“ I learned to shoot as soon as I was big enough to carry or hold a gun,” Mr. Heath told a reporter at his isolated home in Tyringham township.

“ Any boy who is old enough and strong enough to carry a gun is old enough to be taught how to use it properly, and it wasn’t long before I could shoot pretty well.

“ (When the Civil War broke out I enlisted in Company F. of Forty-ndnt Massachusetts. We were detailed to stay in New York during the draft riots, and I was hit on the head by a brick. I went to a hospital Instead of the front, had three square inches of silver trepanning in my skull, and continued to the South as a nurse Insitiead of a sharpshooter.

“ I didn’t escape my share of injuries, though, for one bullet caught me in the calf o f the left leg, and! another in the search of my right foot. But. neither lias been able to stop me from walking as far and as hard as I want to. Altogether I saw the battles of Johnsonville, Port Hudson and Plain Stores.

“ When I finally came back from the war I developed into the plain farmer I have always been, with a lot of hunting thrown in to furnish exc item ent.”

ELEAN0RA BOUND TO WEAR PANTS

Form er Boston Girl Defies “ Busy-

bodies” and Says She Is Comfortable

The “ mothers” of Burlingame, always supposed in the Bast to be one of the “ sportiest” country club sections on the Pacific Coast, have given the world another surprise of sesmic porportions by objecting to the “ riding pants” worn by that admirable type of American young womanhood, Miss Eleanora Sears. The fact that Miss Sears comes from Boston, the land of the prude and the Puritan, and that California, famous as the birthplace of the pioneers, now famous in finance and society, whose wives and daughters were of the hardiest types, who bathed unconventionally in the surf and rode as cowgirls only ride on the plains, i s ' a cause for rumination upon “ the

, swinging of the pendulum,” and recalls the adage of “ three generations from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves,” or, paraphrase in this case, “from pants to pants.’ ’ The Burlingame mothers, presumably, are in the throes of the second chrysalis state of shirt (is it proper to mention the article?) sleeves and have not yet returned to the primitive conditions which Miss Sears has idealized by wearing neat-fitting riding breeches. As to the implied immodesty of Miss Sears, we would ask whether the Burlingame “ mothers” object to their own daughters parading on the beach in “ bathing costumes?” Is there any more shock received by observing a young woman’s beautiful legs in a pair of tight-fitting silk stockings than in a loose fitting pair of whipcord breeches and leather boots? On the beach, too, the vision is not always confined to the lower limbs, especially when the “ costume” gets wet and a rude wave smacks the lady hard under the belt. The mothers^ resolution of reproach is as follows:

Whereas, It has been brought to the attention of the Burlingame Mothers’ Club that Miss Eleanor Sears has been parading through the street of our city in the unconventional trousers and clothes of the masculine sex, contrary to the hard and fast custom of our ancestors; and

•Whereas, Such a manner of dressing is, in our opinion, immodest and wholly unbecoming a woman, having a bad effect on the sensibilities of our boys and girls; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That we hereby put ourselves on record as strongly opposed to the unsightly mannish garb adopted by Miss Sears, and request that she restrict herself in the future to the usual feminine attire. (Signed) Mrs. O. S. Harns, president; Mrs. S. Turner, secretary.

What Miss Sears had to say to the “ Amerian-Examiner,” of San Francisco, is not only instructive, but edifying; it follows;

“ The busybodies who hav-e referred to my riding breeches as trousers are thoroughly misleading. I don’t wear trousers, but I do wear breech©

and I will continue to wear them because they are comfortable. Because my attire happens to look masculine in character is no fault of mine. Free movement of the limbs in exercise demands certain concessions in attire. Right here at Burlingame you find such correct women as Mrs. Eugene Murphy, Mrs. Oscar Cooper and Miss Jennie Crocker modeling their athletic dresses after mine. The reason is simple. My clothes are made for convenience. I defy any women to dress in the thoroughly conventional dress and exercise properly.

“ One doesn't ride horseback in an evening dress. Isn't it just as ridiculous to appear in a skirt that hampersyour freedom of movement? The times I have appeared on the street of Burlingame in breeches were occasions when I had just returned from riding and had gone to the post-office. Of course, riding attire is not walking attire, so I fail to see where the busybodies ’ scored a point. ’ ■

“As for having a bad effect on the sensibilities of boys and girls, I will say that riding togs will do the children good. Outdoor exercise makes life worth while. It means better men and women. I hope the

| time will come when every lad and j lassie in the land will be the i proud possessor of a riding pony.

“The same busybodies who criticise me should themselves take proper exercise now and then. ‘ It would do them good.

“As for the resolutions, they will have no effect upon me. I will continue to exercise and live in my own way, with the prime policy of being comfortable.

Fifteen elk, said by W. L. Finley, state game warden of Oregon, to be the best specimens yet taken out of Jackson Hole country, were sent from St. Anthony to the Wallowa forest, in Oregon, recently, where they have a pasture of 2,500 acres. The expense of transporting the animals from Idaho to Oregon was borne by the Elks’ lodges of the last named state, which plan to restock the forest. The elk were brought over the Teton pass on sleds. Storms encountered In the mountains were so severe that four days were required iin making the first 28 miles. Three of the 25 elk with which the party started were lost when a sled, caught in a slide turned turftle. From these 22 and five more which had been brought out on a previous trip the Oregon game warden was allowed to pick 15 of the strongest animals.

The report that Harry Atwoood, the aviator, may fly to the Rangeley Lakes from Poston at the opening of the fishing season, now near at hand, is not so far fetched as some people may suppose. Mr. Atwood is a daring aviator. He has made many longer flights that the proposed one and has given this matter serious attention. So watch out for the bird man with fish rod in hand!

There are a number of people in Phillips, ajnd they are certainly entitled to their opinion, who say that a church should not step out of the beaten path and use such things as illustrated lectures and con certs to draw attendants. Yet there are others who feel that something of this kind is a step forward, and that while the sanctity of the church should be most completely respected, there is no harm in relaxing in a certain degree from Puritanical rigidity.

When you know that you are no actor man, and you know that everybody else knows it, and you know that you will forget your cues when you get in front of the foot lights, and feel like a man who finds himself at a swell ball clad only and soley in his pajamas, can you be blamed for refusing to bathe in the spot lights?

THE MAN ON THE JOB !It seems to the Map. on the Job

that Charles Chandler has lost his chance to exercise mornings now that all the snow and ice has gone from the front of his house. First of all Mr. Chandler took snow shovel in hand mornings, each day causing a diminution in the size of the great drift. Then, when he got as fax as the ice, he attacked that vigorously with an axe. Saturday saw the Waterloo of that great pile of ice and snow. Mr. Chandler says that he got a lot of good, early morn ing exercise out. of that snow bank, besides performing a useful service to the community by causing its removal.

Many people have gazed with wonder at the enormous horse used by Lucien Warren in his trucking business. /This horse is well known as “ Hasty.” He is believed by his owner and others to be the largest equine in Franklin county and one of the largest in the state. Hasty is very intelligent, knows the rounds he is expected to make and has. yet to be hitched, to a load he is unable to haul. Despite his great size Hasty has a moderate appetite. He weighs over 1600 pounds.

Some day the vaudeville stage may be visited by “ The Steward Boys’ Sextette.” For right here in Phillips there is a family of boys so musically inclined that something of the sort is not far fetched or improbable. The boys are, commencing with the oldest, Nathaniel, Prince, Joseph, Daniel, Franklin and Milton. In the hrass arrangement Joseph plays the solo cornet, Nathaniel, baritone; Milton, alto; Daniel, slide trombone and Frank a tuba. The orchestra is comps, ed of Prince, solo violin; Joseph, comet; Nathaniel, first violin; Daniel, bas i viol; Milton, melephone and Franklin piano. The boy® also have a vocal quartette, which up to the time of this item, has not appeared before the public.

besides a few of our best known young men, is Mrs. Charles Miner, who at last reports had 300, and Con Hoyt, with a flock of 260. Miss Blanche Kenniston also has quite a number of these downy little birds.

Saddleback was white with sno Saturday morning.

The driver» of the various R. F. D. routes centering in Phillips are authority for the statement that country roads are as unsettled at present as popular brands of politics. These men of the gray uniforms say that there are places where the wheels cut into snow on one side and mud on the other. But the mail must go so the carriers get through as best they can.

There are those who say that Ed Grose of the Hotel Blanchard of Stratton had' a lively time the other night when he superintended the transportation of 80 river drivers into the Dead River country. It required 26 teams to carry the men, which was said to be a very modérât number considering the “ loads” some of the worthies of pike pole and cork ed shoe carried. When the procession was formed, after the arrival of the train, the men broke into song. It is said that some of them were a trifle off key, but they made up in .quantity for what they lacked in quality, however. Mr. Grose acted as manager of the party, personally conducted the bunch to the nights destination. There were no fatalities and so far as is known every man jack arrived safely.

Charles Hammons has a violin that he made himself some years ago that is .quite a curiosity in a way. It is in the natural finish, the front being made of spruce over 100 years old while the back is a beautiful piece of “ birdseye” maple. The violin has a strong and musical tone and has been very favorably commented on by various musical experts. It went through the .Phillips hotel fire, but became unglued at the time. Since then Mr. Hammons has re-glued it, and it is now as good as ever.

Farmington is beoming a great center for the automobile trade. Ever day, rain or shine, demonstrating cars are to be seen on. the streets. Th lines carried by the various dealers offer a wide range of selection. One of the most recent “ learners” is Dr. George L. Pratt, who has a new Ford runabout. The doctor has already acquired considerable skill in the use o* the car.

Elbert L. Matthews of Phillips has jurt invented a pump for a gasoline engine that is attracting considerable attention. It «o arranged that there is less than half a pint of gasoline in the engine at any time, for the pump keeps this product of John D. flowing contimouaiy. Mechanical experts who have examin ed the pump say that It is a very clever device.

Chickens are hopping from the shells right merrily those days in and about Phillips. Many of them have an incubator mother, but they come into the world with the same cheery, “ peep-peep” that they have when the old setting hen hatches them out. Among those who are interested in chickens this spring,

One day Jast week a man was found wandering about Farmington who said that the top of his head was gone and that the wind, blowing through his missing “ upper story” made him feel cold. It is believed that this man, who was sent to the Augusta insane hospital, is the same person who annoyed women and girls in Phillips recently. Before he was placed under arrest in Farmington he wandered about the streets, Jtraing pedestrians in the face, without making any remarks. Later lie explained that he had lost his power of speech.

There is .one 'Toung man ir Phillips who tells me that he felt like a fire horse who hears the fire tapper but can’t go to the fire when he read of the rjiagedy of the Titanic. He said that he felt a sort of thrill, as though he would like to get into the game once more, and be after the big news. And as the days went on and he read the names of his friends in the dispatches, some of them on ocean going tugs, others in Halifax and New York and at various points, where the news might “ break” he ouldn’t help feeling for just one moment that it would seem good to be working on the biggest story of years..

Signs of spring: Mud, Mayflowers, matrimony !

Down in Strong a number of the business and professional men are gathering together the sinews of war for a board of trade. Some of the citizens of that town feel that such an organization can be of benefit in many ways. A few of those who have been approached argue that the town is not large enough, but Dr. C. W. Bell and others stoutly declare that such is not the case. It would seem that an organization of this kind, even if it failed from the standpoint of bringing more business to the town, would prove valuable as a social center.

Moore has been busy this spring mak ing maple syrup. That his product is delicious was demonstrated one day last week when a generous sample reached this offic There are many fine maple trees on the Moore farm although the run of sap this year has been rather smaller than last year. Mr. Moore says that he has made 75 gallons of syrup during the present season.

Little bonfires lighted the way to information that the annual yard cleaning about town has commenced.

The recent meeting of the young j men of Strong in the interests of a base ball nine and the interest displayed by Fanningtonians in this sport indicate that there will be good fun to be enjoyed on Saturday after-1 noons about the country the coming summer. Franklin county has had and still has some good ball players. Old timers remember the pitching of Dr. George Pratt when j he was a college boy; Ben Jones of ! Strong and T. R. Wing of Phillips. And there were others, especially in Weld, which has been famous for years as a base ball town.

Because some small boys drank ( “ Whit” Toothaker’s and “ Han” Vln- I ing’s sap, replacing the contents of i the sap buckets with water. Messrs, j Toothaker and Vinimg both express: the opinion that this has been a ' mighty unsatisfactory syrup season. With visions of gallons of golden syrup the men tapped their maples and waited patiently for a run of sap. It came as they supposed, and when they gathered the well filled buckets their eyes glistened in anticipation of the treat in store. Then came the boiling process. High rose the flames about the pans and kettles, but still higher rose the indignation of Messrs. Toothaker and Vining because the “ sap” refused to turn into syrup. The liquid in the pans gave fourth a vast amount of steam, but that was all there was doing. Finally, both men gave up in disgust what seemed to be a hopeless task. The next day Whit said to Han. “ Did you get any syrup out of the sap you boiled down yesterday?” “ No,” replied Han, “ this has been a mighty poor sap year.”

Now that it is settled h ose who desired base ball will enter nto the track work with the same spirit as they would into base ball and, as the material for track is very good this year, P. H.

The “ change of life ” is a most critical period in a woman’s existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason.

W hen her system is in a deranged condition, she may be predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of some organ. A t this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work.

Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman’s gréât change may be expected.

These symptoms are calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time.

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is prepared to meet the needs of women’s systei* at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. It has carried many women safely through this crisis.

I had a displacement and bearing down pains, weak fainting spells, dizziness, then numb and cold feelings. Sometimes my feet and limbs were swollen.

The shoot took pace on Fast day and was the second annual event of the kind. It brought together a very classy bunch of gun artists, from amateur and professional ranks. Particularly notable was the gatherin of professionals, for there were seven on hand to do the shooting.

All the men who took part shot at 120 birds, but very few made good scores. A bad wind and a heavy rain combined to make the bird® flighty and so those men who usually have big totals found themselves down near the foot. Even Jack Fanning, former champion of the world, could do nothing with the birds. t

The record for the course is 74 hours, 14 minutes and 14 seconds. Last year’s race was won by A. A. (Scotty) Allen in 81 hours, 40 minutes. There are four teams taking part ¡this year. A team owned by Mrs. C. E. Darling, Berkley, Cal., driven by Allen; Fox Ramsey’s team, driven by Chas. Johnson; John Johnson’s team, driven by Alex Holmsen, and A. G.

The spring chorus o f frogs has been heard several nights lately in the creek near the old pumping station at Farmington. All of the early birds are back. I saw two Sheldrake ducks fly up the rivera f iw days ago and fly back a day or two later. One of the engineers -who runs the morning passenger train told me he had seen a pair of these species of ducks in an open place in the river at Liveremore Falls most every day during the winter. Warm waves bring the birds nearer day by day and several species of butterflies have been seen. These insects are called flying flowers by the Chinese.

The grass on the lawns is once more putting on its mantle of green.

The catkins on the poplar and willow are swelling and will soon burst into bloom. The willow is monoecious, that is the pistils and stamens are borne on separate trees and are fertilized by bees and the wind. The catkins of the alder have been shading their pollen to the wind for some time, some of (the catkins measure three inches in length.

C. H. Greeley of Clinton can justly claim the title of the “ Honey King of Maine.”

Mr. Greeley has been making a epeeial-ty of bee-keeping and honey production for more than a quarter of a century. For some years past be has produced from three to five tons of honey annually at his apiaries, while from one to two tons a year is understood to be the limit of production of other extensive beekeepers in the state, and buit a few are getting more than a ton. Had it not been for an unusual streak of bad luck, a heavy loss of bees in the cellar, and later the destruction by fire of one of his houses, containing some 30 colonies, Mr. Greeley is confident that he would have beaten his own record last season, and brought the amount up to an even six tons or more, where he sometimes makes sales of

The bulk of Mr. Greeley's honey, which has a high reputation, is marketed through the trade in the nearby cities and towns. He supplies regularly some 30 stores at Waterville, Augusta, Oakland, Fair- field and Skowhegan. He also* exhibits annually at the Lewiston fair, nearly or quite a ton of honey.

In some plants this is the reverse, as, for instance, in the wild leek, the leaves appear first in May and die down and wither away long before the flowers appear in July.

We left Norway for the Mg lake, Friday, the first day of March, writes the editor of the Oxford County Advertiser. An over night stop was made In Lewiston in company with Hugh Pendexter, the author. Dinner tire next day was taken at the Shaw House, Newport, where we fell in with Peter Mclntire, who is wintering at that hotel. At Dover we called on Hon. J. F. Sprague and Liston P. Evans of ~he Observer, and in i-lia.'ge of Frank A. Hagar, guide, le* on the evening train for Greenville. The train was two and a half hours late, caused by too much snow on the track and too little steam in the engine, but at 10:05 p. m. we reached the Moosehead Inn. The following day a pair of horses and a long sled with plenty of spreads to keep us warm took us up the Lily Bay stage road to where the Thoro- fare Snow Shoe Trail commenced. Here an Indian and Pale Face with sleds were in waiting to haul in the dunnage. The snow was soft

For the first ten days of March the thermometer registered from zero to 20 degrees below each morning. The snow was more than a foot deep on the roof of the camp and came up to the window sills on the walls. Little wind could enter our abode but a generous amount of fire wood was necessary to keep the camp warm. Indian Newell cut this and delivered it to our door on a moose sled and piled high the wood

stead of lean, he declared. They soon lost their fat because of the difficulty they had in obtaining food early in the spring, Mr. Kimball admitted, but, on their premier appearance they were in practically the same condition as when they retired the preceeding autumn.

“All this sounds very well,’ said | Mr. Turner Wednesday, “ but it isn't I in accordance with the facts, as most every man who knows anything at all about bears can tell Mr. Kimball. I don’t believe he ever saw one which had just come put of its den. He certainly doesn’t talk as though he had.

“ A hear is fairly fat when he goes to sleep in the autumn, but he draws upon this reserve during the long winter months when he lies dormant and eats no feed whatever. It stands to reason that the animal must obtain sustenance from somewhere and this fat is the store which nature has provided for him. Believe me, it is pretty well used up when spring comes.

“ Bears emerge from their dens far from the rotund condition which Mr. Kimball has described. They are lean and lank and look half starved. I know, because I have seen several of them at this time. In fact I once assisted in driving a bear out of his den during the month of March over in the Roach river country. We came upon him accidentally and dug him out and he was certainly the most half-starved looking creature that one can well imagine.

“ If you talk with men who have obtained their knowledge of bears at first hand—not in sitting around an open fire and hearing others talk about them—you will find that the majority of them will agree fully with what I have said.’ ’

TELLING FISHING STORIES.

ed enough stone off Maine farms in the last century to hide the pyramids under billions of tons of glacial drift.

“ The climate of Maine is dry by a very small majority, and is automatically refrigerated throughout the greater part of the year. It gets through snowing in Maine in the spring just in time to cloud up and prepare for the first fall flurry. The population of the state is about 750, 000 people, most of whom are huddled together in the extreme southern setr-'n for warmth’s sake. Owing to the climate, it is hard to raise much of anything in Maine except hotel prices. The seacoast; of Maine resembles a piece of Battenberg lace and is profusely speckled with summer hotels. In the spring the Maine hotel keeper takes a room, which would rent for $1.25 a month during the winter, and by judiciously mixing it with climate, manages to raise the price to $7 a day by July.

“ Besides hotel prices, Maine raises hay, potatoes, pine trees and statesmen. The entire north end of the state is shaggy growth of timber. This section, however, is being rapidly barbered by the lumber interests. Maine statesmen are of the finest brand, and when a Maine man goes to Congress he usually remains there until death doth him part. The climate of his home state undoubtedly accounts for the tenacity with which the Maine Statesman clings to Washington. For many year Maine was one of the vested interests of the Republican party, but it recently went Democratic with some emphasis, and nowadays when the old-fashoned Maine farmer gets out in the morning, he looks over to the West to see if the sun has changed its habits, too.’’

Box 321, Greenville, Me., and are some ten or eleven miles from 'that village.These camps were built by a sporting club some 17 years ago and calle the Night Hawk Club, and some three years ago it came into the possession of W. M. Shaw of Greenville, who sold them to Mr. Heald.

We were assigned the Tom Lynn camp of the nest of camps, which are on a point of land extending out from Sugar Island and choking the Tboro- fare. It’s through this channel the fish pass and it is open water here a month before the lake clears of ice in the spring.

ARE BEARS FAT OR LEAN IN SPRING?

Eastern M aine Men Are Much

The statement of Alonzo Kimball, the veteran Piscataquis county hunter, to the effect that bears are really fat when they come out of their winter’s hibernation in the spring, which was printed in Monday’s Bangor Commercial, has aroused a lively

The jams are made of selected shore rocks of various shapes and colors. The inside walls are covered with green burlap, and light is ad mitted by three half windows and a skylight. There are two wide beds, a stove and plenty of other furniture in it.

There are eight other similar camps here beside the Big Camp. Each of the ten camps has a tall brick chimney. There is a guides' camp, kitchen and dining room, store house, hovel and the hen yard with shed.

Turner, a Greenville man who has spent many seasons in the Maine woods, on Wednesday took sharp issue with Mr. Kimball upon the subject, declaring that the animals, instead of being fat, were “ lean and lank and looked half starved,” upon awakening from their long sleep.

“ Mr. Kimball professes to know a lot about bears,” said Mr. Turner Wednesday, “ but I doubt very much if he ever saw more than two or three in the woods in all his life If he was quoted correctly he has a lot to learn about them."

Mr. Kimball’s statement was to the effect that there was a popular mis conception concerning a bear’s condition when he emerged from his den in the spring general opinion

It is very rare that a goose of this size and kind is shot, for they fly I very high and live, as a rule, far to the north.

The goose shot by Mr. Whittier, j which was brought down with a well directed rifle shot, was placed on exhibition in the store of Wilfred Me* Leary at Farmington, where it has \ attracted a great deal of attention. It is black and grayish white in i color.

CENSURES ISMAY CHAPMAN CONCERT WAS WELL ENJOYED a Spring Medicine

Tears Fill Eyes When Pastor Hutchins

Tells of Titanic Disaster

Praises Bravery o f Those Lost, but Scathingly Arraigns Director Ismay

That Phillips has been deeply i touched by the terrible Titanic disas-; ter was shown Sunday morning when, with bowed heads and tear filled eyes, many people listened to the eloquent tribute Rev. M, S. Hutchins paid to the brave men and women, who gave their lives that others might live.

It was a sermon of unusual force that Mr. Hutchins delivered, for he not only praised those who now sleep beneath the icy Newfoundland waters but also censured the men he said were responsible, through their de* sire to break records, for the greatest sea tragedy In the history of the world.

To many the services Sunday seem ed like funeral obsequies. There were many dramatic passages in the sermon, for Mr. Hutchins described the partings o f loved ones on the ill starred liner In a manner that evidently brought before the minds of many the awful moments when the great ship was about to disappear forever beneath the waves.

The figure of Ismay, the managing director of the line, could be seen by the side of Capt. Scott, urging him to make more speed that a * re- | cord might be smashed. The warnings of the wireless messages com -1 lag through 'the ether, telling of Icebergs nearby, were mentioned. But they were not heeded the speaker | claimed, .because the managing director forgetting the safety of thousands of lives, directed the captain to drive the Titanic onward with undiminished speed.

Then came the crash, the hurrying of women and children into the lifeboats, and the farewells of those who were forced to remain on the ship. The bravery and coolness of John Jacob Astor, Major Butte, military aide of President Taft, Henry B. Harris, ithe theatrical manager, Mrs. Straus, the wife o f the magnate, who refused to leave her husband, and many others were praised by Mr. Hutchins, who termed them high types of American manhood and womanhood.

So far as is known not a single person in Phillips had a relative, friend, or even chance acquaintance on board the Titanic, yet there was every evidence of genuine mourning.

When the sermon concluded there was congregational singing of “ Nearer my God to Thee,” the hymn played by the string band of the Titanic just before she took her final plunge, and (then the people filed out, silently, as a rule with bowed heads.

“ There are two texts I wish to speak on,” said Mr. Hutchins, “ one from scripture; the other significant words spoken by a man who has just passed into the world beyond, My scripture text if from Isa 24:4. The world moumeth.”

“ The world is richer today than it was one week ago before the great ocean steamer, the Titanic, carried down to their deaths hundreds who had nearly crossed the ocean upon her. She is richer in the added knowledge of the nobility of humanity which can meet great crises with brave hearts less mindful of one’s own danger than that of others, putting aside desire for life that others might live. It is richer in warning against neglecting the consideration of the welfare of others In order to selfishly attain one’s purpose. It is richer in thought concerning those things which are of highest value.

“ The world is poorer today than it was one week ago because of the j lives which have been closed. There j were many whose names were among: the famous names of the world, persons who were leaders in society, in business, in finance. There were many more of the class who are next above the poor men, and who crossed as second cabin passengers, and a large number of the poorer who were coming to America.

“ Yes, it is a mourning world today. It is not only America who sorrows. In every city of Europe where tourists tarry is there mourning fox friends who are numbered with the lost.

“ We may mention Wm. T. Stead the journalist whose helpful influence was far reaching, Jacúes Futrelle in whose stories is something more thrilling than his refusal to allow his wife to meet death with him though she tried to do so. He sent her to their children that they might not be left parentless. There were the giants of mercantile and manufacturing wealth and power. Isador Straus and Benjamin Guggenheim; John Jacob Astor, who by his death proved himself to be a man. Major Butte, the president’s aide, with many others went to their deaths like brave men and true.

“ The time is past when every disaster is looked upon as punishment sent by God. We know this, how* ever, that he who is the Supreme Power in the world never leaves ma'. long without some experience that speaks to him of death.

“ On last Sunday evening President Hays of the Grand Trunk Railroad Co., who was on board the Titanic made the remark that the race for supremacy between the steamboat lines, the Cunard, the White Star and the Hamburg and American would result in disaster unless something intervened.

“ There has always been struggle for supremacy. -When the earth was young it was fought by the forest primeval the jungle and the wild beasts. After these had passed the early races and tribes of men were carrying on the struggle. Nations have made a pathway of destruct- tion, have waded through blood and pillage In attempts to prove their supremacy to “ Smash the Record.”

“ Today the mocking phantom of Incarnate selfishness is leading those who battle for supremacy. Let the managers of the White Star line who built the mammoth floating palace say if it be not so. We may fancy the consultation about the number of life boats to be carried and it was questioned where spaoe should be found for them. This space must be had for a palm garden, this be given for a tennis court and this for a ball room. The chances for life for many a passenger was sacrificed to the desire to give luxurious ease and pleasure. The world was watching, which course should they take? The southern course this season 1s the safer. Yes, but the northern course is five hours shorter and we must “ smash the record.” The temptation ' of the speed mania conquered.”

It Is said that the little blind god has been very, very busy the past winter and that in oonsiequence, wedding bells will ohimè frequently during the month o f roses—and marriages. Supporters of Colonel Roosevelt say that this meets with their candidate’s entire approval.

Hood’s is King“ For all the troubles I have had Hood’s Sarsa

parilla surely is the king. I have taken it at different times in the past three years when I have suffered [from catarrh and stomach troubles, and have always found it a grand medicine. My stomach is very much better than it was, and as a spring medicine, too, I know that no one can do any better than to take H ood’s Sarsaparilla. My husband and I have reason to recommend it cordially.” Mrs, R. E . Plummer, 387 Union Ave., Laconia, 1ST. H.

Small Crowd From Phillips and Strong Came by Special Train,

Electric Lights Were Out.

(Special to Maine Woods.)Farmington, April 17.—Despite the

annoyance caused by the lack of electric light, the Chapman concert, held last night in Music Hall, was well enjoyed and liberally patronized.

John Barnes Wells, itenor, Josefa Schaller, violinist, Mildred Potter, mezzo-soprano contralto and William R. Chapman, pianist, all received liberal applause.

The program was evidently made u on the assumption that old time favorites would be most enjoyed, for very few new offerings were noted. Mr. Chapman was spectacular as usual, at the piano, but the hit of the evening was made by John Barnes Wells, who was in especially good vocal trim.

The special train from .Phillips and Strong did not bring as large a crowd as was expected. Those who did come w. thorough music lovers as a rule, however, and made up in enthusiasm for lack of number.

RAILROAD COMR’S IN JO W N M AY*1

A petition from the Sandy River & Rangele" Lakes R. R., asking for he approval of a branch track which it Is proposed, to build from a point just north of Sanders Station to a log landing near the sobthwest corner of Mount Abraham ¡township, a distance of about three miles, has been received bv the Board of Railroad Commissioners. This proposed line, it is believed, crosses but one highway, that known as the Sohoolhouse road.

The inspection trips of the railroad commissioners will begin, this year, at an earlier date than ever before. The commissioners are scheduled tp appear in Calais, May 7; the following day they will inspect the Washington unty railway; May 9, they go 'to Phillips for the purpose of holding a hearing on the Sandy River & Rangel ey Lakes petition, May 10.

(Special to Maine Woods.) .(Farmington, April 24.—The cul

mination of a romance that commenc ed when the bride and groom were members of the same theatrical company came today when Miss Isabel Gould White (Isabel Gould) was married to Lawrence Ray Trumbull in >the First. Unitarian Church by Rev. H. E. Latham.

The large church was crowded with friends of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel R. Trumbull of Pulaski, New York, parents of the groom, also being present.

Miss Florence White, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and Misses Lucile Stevens and Lora Gould were bridesmaids, Robert IJ. White was best man and Messrs. George Brown and Colby L. Merrill were ushers. Lohengrin’s wedding march was play ed by Miss Mabel Austin.

The ceremony was impressive through its simplicity. The Episcopal single ring service was used. The bride was dressed in white satin, cut en trains. She also wore a long veil and carried a boquet of lillies of the valley.

Immediately after the wedding an elaborate wedding breakfast was served at the home of the parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. H. P. White.

Mr. and Mrs. Trumbull left on ithe afternoon train for New York city for their honeymoon trip.

RARE OPERATION HELPS SAWTELLE

(Special to Maine Woods.)Farmington, April 24.—Frank Saw-

telle of this town has just returned from New York City, where he under went a suooessful operation for an eye trouble that is very rare. He was accompanied by Dr. C. W. Bell of Strong.

The operation was one where extreme skill was required. The eye effected was cut of perpendicular, causing much pain. Dr. C. W. Stevens of New York was the operating surgeon.

FIRST NEWS GIVEN BY MAINE WOODS

Maine Woods gave to the citizens of Phillips the first news of the loss of the ill fated Titanic. The main facts were received at this office by wire and hurriedly placed on a bulletin board. During the morning and until the daily papers arrived many people read from this hop ’d some of the most startling details. The loss of President Hays of the Grand Trunk, Capt. Archie Buitte, Col. John Jacob Astor and the saving of the life of Mrs. Astor were told at the time. All the news was essentially correct except the figures, which were corrected later.

Loss of appetite is also loss of vitality, vigor, tone. To recover appetite and the rest take Hood’s Sarsaparilla—that strengthens the stomach, perfects digestion, makes eating a pleasure. It also makes the blood rich and pure, and steadies the nervse.

For years I was afflicted with kidney trouble and rheumatic pains and was often unable to get about. I passed many sleepless nights, and was also bothered by tbe kidney secretions.

BALD HE A DS NOT W A N T E D .

Baldness is too Generally Considered a Sign of Advanced Age.

A bald-headed person does not have an equal chance with one blessed with a healthy head of hair, because baldness is too generally accepted as an indication of age. Many large corporations have established an age limit, and refuse to take men over 35 years of age as new employees.

Probably 65 per cent of bald-headed people may regain a good head of healthy hair if they will follow our advice and accept our offer. We have a remedy that we positively guarantee to grow hair on any head, unless the roots of the hair are entirely dead, their follicles closed, and the scalp has become glazed and shiny. We want people to try this remedy at our risk, with the distinct understanding that unless it does exactly what we claim it will, and gives satisfaction in every respect, we shall make no charge for the remedy used during the trial.

We know exactly what we are talking about, and with this offer back of our statements no one should scoff, doubt our word, or hesitate to put our remedy to an actual test.

We want everyone in Phillips who is suffering from any scalp or hair trouble, dandruff, falling hair, or baldness to try our Rexall “ 93” Hair Tonic. We want them to use it regularly—say until three bottles have been used—and if it does not eradicate dandruff, cleanse and refresh the scalp, tighten the hair in its loots, and grow new hair, we will return eve*y cent paid us for the remedy for the mere asking. There is no formality expected, and we exact no obligation from the user whatever.

We are established right here in Phillips, and make this offer with a full understanding that our business success entirely depends upon the sort of treatment we accord our customers, and we would not dare make the above offer unless we were positively certain that we could substantiate it in every j particular. Remember, you can obtain Rexall Remedies in this community only at our store —The Rexall Store. R. H. j Preble, Phillips, Maine.

Dora B. Sargent of Madrid in the County of Franklin, wife of George E. Sargent, respectfully represents that her maiden name was Dora B. Welts, that she was lawfully married to the said George E.

D. 1911; that your libelant has conducted herself toward her said husband as a faithful, true and affectionate wife; that your libelee has been guilty of extreme cruelty, gross and confirmed habits of intoxication from the use of intoxicating liquors, and cruel and abusive treatment toward your said libelant; that said libelee departed from the said libelant on the sixth day of June, A. D. 1911, since which time the whereabouts of the said libelee have been to your libelant wholly unknown and cannot be ascertained by reasonable diligence; that there is no collusion between your libelant and the said libelee to obtain a divorce; that your libelant believes it reasonable and proper, conducive for domestic harmony, and consistent with the peace and morality of society that the bonds of matrimony between her and her said husband should be dissolved by divorce. Wherefore she prays that such divorce may be decreed and that she may be decreed the custody of her minor child aged five years and named Alice B. Sargent.

IN AND ABOUT PHILLIPSIt seemed that the angleworms

got the tip early Tuesday morning or late Monday night that spring had arrived. For when the early Phiillipians were on their way to work they found the sidewalks fairly covered with the worms. But it was a false alarm for the angleworms, for the frost nipped their noses, if they have noses, and many of them returned to their subterranean homes.

George Sedgeley is much improved in health. Everett Knapp is working in the store and attending school.

The first balloon ascension of the season is reported at the upper village. It appears that Master Herbert F. Lakin purchased a large fire balloon at the auction sale held recently.

No singers in Maine stand higher in fthe musical profession, as you will soon have a chance to prove.”

Lemuel L. Baker of St. Cloud, Florida, in renewing his subscription to Maine Woods says in part: “ I like the. paper, for it is newsy and tells about the people I used to know. Although I haven’t lived there for 35 years I can still see Phillips as it was then. I remember Sam Farmer ran the Barden House. Sam was a great fellow for fun and fast horses. Then there was Harry Dill. He kept the posit office. I remember he asked Dr. Kimball to feel of my pulse when I got home with my bride from Freeport, Maine. But since then things have changed. The paper has changed its name, the people, or partt of them have changed places and today your paper has .quite a spread all over the United States. I should be pleased to see any one from Phillips and more then pleased to see my old schoolmaster and friend, Benjamin Butler.”

There were a few surprises awaiting Carroll Knapp, who was married in Strong Saturday night, noted in the Strong news, when he ar-1

j rived at the C. H. McKenzie store,I where he is employed, Monday mom- | ing. As he opened the door1 a shower of rice descended on his head from a bag that had been i carefully suspended above the casing.
