Never Prove False to Friend.
NeyeF pranefalsc to a, friend,

Never prove false TO a friend,
So long as he's faithful to you.

and bnebf the noblest bf men. =
I, any man free from each fault,
Alfrighteous and good in his waysf
Lives there woman so perfect on earth,
That she can be named but in praise Z
Never speak i'll Of a friend,
To cossippers keep closed your ear,
An excellent rule in the main,
Is to credit one-tenth what you hear.
Stand by friend in distress, :,
When you know lie is really in need |;
What matter if even he fails.
There is honor for you in thu. deed.

Then his, and not yours the disgrace )
Because we find one man untrue;
Shall we wrong or distrust whole

Censure man for his faults.
Give him honor when honor is due;
Rnt never prove false to friend,
So long as hes faithful 70 you. *

[From The Medical Gazette of June 24th, 1911
For about months have been using KEN
NEDY's CONCENTRATED EXTRACT OF PINus
CANADENsIs in affections of the rectum, vagina
and cervix uteri, and consider it most val
liable remedy. 1 have used it diluted with wa
ter as a vaginal wash, with great success; but 1
prefer to apply it to the os tiRcae on cotton
wool, either pure or mixed with glycerine, or
glycerine and rose-water. Thus applied, it
should remain intact for two or three days and
then be renewed. In this way I have seen
chronic granular vaginitis remedies in a few
days that had resisted the ordinary remedies
for weeks; haye seen granular erosions, with
leucorrhoe disappear very rapidly under its use
have not time to say all that could about
it; but am sure that it will soon be recognized
as valuable addition to our Matera Medica
Knowing Mr.. Kennedy as l DOL can confident
ly commend him to my professional brethren
His method of manufacturing the extract is
such as to warrant it of uniform strength and
purity.

THE APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES.

Especial dispatch to the Press.l
AUGUSTA, Jan. 5-The appointment of Com
mittees is now the work in hand that gives the
two presiding officers a great deal of trouble
and labor, for they naturally desire to do the
right thing. There is an unusual pressure for
the Committee on Railroads, Ways and Bridges
one that thirty years ago was considered of
the least Importance. understand, however,
that it has been fixed; and it is so made up in
both branches as to give general satisfaction to
fair minded men. President Foster, will show
when his committee is announced that the
stories circulated about his being elected by the
RAILROAD ring" if such there be, are utterly
groundless. The Senator that he places to the
head of the committee is known in legislative
circles for his firm integrity and careful judge
ment. The others instead of being inside of
railroad circles are entirely outside of them. l
understand that Hon. Eben Woodbury., vet
eran legislator will be rendered the Chairman
ship of the Committee ON the part of the
House. The Judiciary Committee is another
on which there is considerable pressure, there
being twenty lawyers in the Legislature. A
large number of members are desirous of be-
ing enrolled upon the Prison Committee so that
thee may have an opportunity to visit the in
stitution. 1t is to be hoped that one visit will
be sufficient
RAILROAD HEADQUARTERS.
Railroad companies have never had their en-
ployees there so early in the season. Two con-
tending companies have already established
headquarters at the Augusta House.
REMOVAL, II RI or
Gen. Perry surprised the House this morning
with proposition to remove the seat of gov
eminent to Portland. The new steam heating
apparatus is too much, no provision being made
for ventilation, consequently the Representa-
tives Hall is something like huge sweat box
and the committee rooms remind old navy men
of the sweat boxes that have been abolish
ed as means of punishment too barbarous.

WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, jan 5-The Canonicas IRON

fourth class, mounts two guns and is 500 tons
burden. The Mahopac of the same class and
capacity was also differed to-day. She lies at
the Washington navy yard. Other vessels will
soon be placed in commission and arrangements
for that purpose are now being made at the
Navy Department
While it is not admitted in official quarters
that there is an exigency for these preparations
it is well known that the North Atlantic is to
strengthened for protective purposes, and to
present sufficiently large force to guard
American ships from molestation and illegal
search on the high seas by Spanish cruisers. A
month ago the force on that station consisted of
ten ships, mounting seventy guns. One of these,
the Shawmut will probably be relieved, as she
is destined for the South Atlantic, but another
will supply her place. Care is taken in the Sc
lection of Commanders, the utmost confidence
being placed in their competency to fully carry
out the orders of the government, while the ut
most caution is enjoined. The policy of pro-
lection will be rigidly enforced.

THE SNOW BLOCKADE ON THE PACIFIC RA1LRo.

THE SNOW BLOCKADE ON THE PACIFIC RAILROAD
CHEYENNE, Jan. 5.-Four passenger trains,
carrying about 800 passengers arrived this
morning from Ogden, which left Dec Dist, 22d,
23d and 2Sth, respectively. They have been be-
tween here and Laramie, ffty-six miles, since
Monday morning. There was little trouble on
the road west of Medicine Bow, but trains were
detained between Ogden and that point a week,
from no other cause than a lack of proper I'M
derstanding, and information on the part of the
company's officers. The greater part of the
time was spent on side tracks, while it was al
most impossible to obtain meats and the passen-
gers suffered considerable in consequence, sub
sisting on crackers and dried meats Between
Laramie and Cheyenne, the road was impassi-
BILE. except with the help of large force of
men working night and day. The snow was
deep and constantly drifting On one part of
the road near Sherwin, the trains made only
four miles in twenty-four hours Should the
weather continue favorable as now, the road
may be kept clear, but winds or more snow will
again blockade it. The time from San Fran
cisco, of the passenger trains which arrived
this morning was seventeen days,

PROGRESS OF THE REvoLUTIoN.-A new
light dawned upon the world with the intro
duction of PLANTATION BITTERs twelve years
ago. Drastic purgation went out-restoration
and renovation came in. The eyes of the peo-
pie were opened to the great fact that the way
to cure disease is to strengthen and support its
victims, not to place them at its mercy by de-
priving them of the little strength they have.
1t soon became evident that as a means of in
fusing vitality into the feeble system, regula-
ting the secretions, curing indigestion, and re-
forming bilious habit of body, no medicinal
preparation then known was at all compare
BILE to the new restorative. Since then hum
dreds of attempts have been made to rival the
Bitters. They have all failed, and the GRAND
REVOLUTION IN MEDICAL TREATMENT, which
was commenced in 1860, is still in progress.
Nothing can stopit, for it is founded on the
principle, now universally acknowledged, that
physical vigor is the most formidable antagon-
list of all human ailments, and experiment has
shown that PLANTATION BrTTERs is a peerless
invigorant, as well as the best possible safe
guard against epidemic disease.
