THE WORLDS WAY.
The New Boy Asserts Himself and Runs
the Roosf-

The new boy had moved in-that is.
the family which owned the new boy
had moved in. II was quite likely the
new boy would show up in the back
yard during the afternoon. and 50 after
school seven boys headed that way.
The new boy had only been seen from
. distance. Was he sassy No one
could answer! Would he fight, No one
could tell. He must be tried. 1t was
the solemn duty Of every boy in that
neighborhood 10 make this important
discovery at the earliest possible mo-
ment. II he could be licked, well and
good; il he was fighter! They
breathed hard over the thought.
In half an hour seven heads appeared
above the alley fence behind the
boys house. He seemed to be ex-
pccting them, and had hcaped up a
peck Of green tomatoes at the foot Of .
plum tree.
The seven glarcd down At him. He
glared up and back.

He came over. Il had been settled
that Johnny Flynn should tackle him,
and Johnny was ready. He grabbed
for the new boys hat, and the new boy
grabbed for his coat, and they tuggcd
and twisted.

But the new boy had the best Of IL.
He came down on top Of Johnny and
gourcd his eye and bit his finger. and
offered 70 lick any one else in the
crowd. His father came out just then.
and the seven ran away. but the evil
dencc was MI In. The new boy would
not only sass and fight, but he was

had been presented with two big bites

The directors of the Messalonskee and

proceeded to elect officers, Hon. j. X.
Bodwell being chosen President. The
directors of the Wiscasset and Kennebec
Railroad also met few days since and
reorganized their board. These move
ments appear to indicate purpose for the
construction of the contemplated railroad
from Wiscasset up the valley of the Ken
nebec to connect with the Quebec Central
and Canada Pacific. The building OF the
Canada Pacific has created renewed inter-
est in the project of constructing railroad
from the border to Wiscasset harbor.
The Quebec Central formerly the Lewis
and Kennebec Railroad) extends several
miles this side of the boundary, and joins
the Canadian Pacific. The road from
Wiscasset up the Kennebec, as at first
projected, had no proposed connection in
Canada, except with the road to Quebec.

runs from the Pacific to the Atlantic, Of
fers an inducement for the building of the
road to Wiscasset vastly greater than any
which previously existed. On both sides
OF the border the subject OF building to
Wiscasset is exciting deep interest and if
actions correspond to words something
will come of the present agitation of this
matter The boards OF directors of the
companies which have just reorganized
are filled with live, earnest men. who, we
have no doubt, mean business.

limitations have been foisted upon the mar
ket so closely resembling Allcock's Porous
Plasters in general appearance as to be well
calculated to deceive. 1t is. however, in
general appearance only that they compare
with Allcock's, for they are worse than worth
less, inasmuch as they contain deleterious in-
gradients which are apt to cause serious iniu-
ry. Remember that Allcock's are the only
genuine porous plasters-the best external
remedy ever known; and when purchasing
piasters do not only ask for but see that YOU
get "Allcock's Porous Plasters." The popu.

is no wonder that limitations and counterteits

A Portrait of a Swell.
The EXQUISITE Youth OF THE TINE, WHOSE
Hour GLASS Runs GOLDEN SANDS.

Newport Letter in the Boston Herald.
White vests are very much the fashion just
now, and collar turned sharply down in
front. Patent leather shoes, trousers twenty
two inches round the bottom, four button
cutaway coat of sgonal cloth and silk hat
with half weed are included in the outfit of
the modern beau Brummell not to mention
bamboo stick with buckhorn head and
pair of tan-colored gloves broadly -stitched on
the back with black. He wears a wide black
silk ribbon with a gold buckle hanging from
his fob pocket, half dozen rings upon his
fingers, scarf pin worth a small fortune, and
carries single eye-glass, which he seldom
looks through, and sees nothing when he
does. Such is the exquisite youth who has
nothing in the world to do but help to spend
his fathers millions and marry a girl with as
many more. He is ever present at the CASH
no, on the beach, in his tandem dog-cart on
the avenue, at dinners, receptions and balls.
and nobody denies that he is at once the
choicest and most remarkable production of
advanced civilization.

The Portland Press says: "Our es-
teemed morning contemporary contrasts
the ten hour plank in the democratic
platform with the ton hour plank in the
republican platform. and proceeds to
inform the people that while the republic
cans have recommended the passage of a
law making ten hours days work. the
democrats have pledged themselves to
pass such law. What the Argus should
try to do is to convince its readers that
the democratic party will keep its pledge.
1t will find good deal of skepticism on
that point that needs clearing away. Past
experience with democratic pledges goes
TO prove that they are quite as often
broken az kept. The last democratic
national platform pledged the party to
economy, but the present democratic
House of Representatives has been
SO reckless in its extravaganza as to
call out even from the Maine dem
ocrats, who are generally ready to
swallow any dose provided it is admins
tered by their own party. an earnest pro-
test The last democratic platform pledged
the party to build a navy, but nothing has
been done to fulfill the promise. The
same platform pledged the party to foster
and protect the interests of the laboring
man. but not single measure has been
passed looking to that end by the present
House, but on the contrary almost from
the day the House met the most prominent
of the democratic leaders have been en-
gagged in concocting scheme to cripple
some of the chief industries from which
the laboring men OF Maine derive their
living. Democratic promises are one thing,
democratic performance is another thing
and quite as likely to violate the promise

Our Worst Enemies

Next to our vices, are our follies. Among
them is the imperilling of future bodily com
fort, and the average tenure of life to which
persons of moderately good constitutions are
presumably entitled, by imprudence in eating
and drinking, and the reckless use of drugs.
1t is one of the happy capabilities of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters that it can repair dam
age thus inflicted. When the blood is thin
and watery, the bowels out of order, the
complexion and tongue both giving evidence
of biliousness, there is necessity for repairs
upon the human tenement obvious enough to
startle its possessor. A course of the Bitters,
the abandonment of ''drugging" for relief.
and common sense diet and mode of life
these will speedily produce change for the
better. What. quinine for fever and ague,
and mercury for biliousness and constipation
won't do. the Bitters will. 1t also relieves
rheumatism and neuralgia, and inactivity of
the Kidneys.
