The Monument to General Knox.

lopeclal 10 Inc freSS.l
WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE resolu-
tion appropriating $25,oOO for the erection of
a monument over the grave of General Knox
in the cemetery at Thomaston, was up last
week, but not being settled, has gone ON to
the list of unfinished business. When it
will come up again, and what will become of
it when 1t does come up, no man can tell.
Mr.. Dingley and Mr.. Milliken are looking
out for it, and they can do as much for it as
any other two men in the House. But the
fact is, they have taken very big job, for
the opposition to the measure is very strong.
The opponents, and among them are not on
ly most of the Democrats. who do not take
much stock in monuments anyway, but
strong Republicans, like Mr.. Cannon, who,
with Mr.. Mckinley, leads the Republicans
on the floor since Mr. Reed has been in the
chair, cannot see why Washington is not the
place for the monument, if it is the memory
and the services nf General Knox that the
nation wishes to honor and commemorate.
If, on the other hand, the monument is for
the purpose of marking the old hero's grave,
they argue that the State of Maine, which
holds his ashes, should erect the monument
As the House is naturally prudent, rather
than extravagant the majority of members
are quite likely to settle down into the COM
Portable idea that Maine may erect the mon
ument. But, even though the sentiment of
the House seems to be against the bill,
Messrs. Dingley and Milliken may see an OPP
portunity to get 1t through before the session
But the people of Thomaston should not
get their expectations up too high.
During the debate Mr.. Dingley made the
statement that the State of Maine is pre-
pairing to present to the national government
statue of General Knox, to be placed in the
statuary hall in the national capitol. This
would be most appropriate act. Maine has
now but one statue in this hall, which is an
interesting valhalla for statues of famous
men of the different states, the statue of
William King, the first governor and a prom
inent actor in establishing the state in 1920
General Knox was not native of Maine,
but he made his home at Thomaston and
died there. His name is more intimately
associated with Maine than with Massachu-
sets, the state of his birth, and it would be
appropriate for Maine to honor him.

Samuel Ridlon of Kezar Falls died Tues
day morning Feb. 4th and was buried from
his late residence the following Tuesday.
Owing to paralysis of the throat Mr.. Ridlon
was unable to swallow anything for ten or
twelve days previous to his death. He
actually starved to death. Until he was in
capacitated for business by a paralytic
shock fifteen years ago, Mr.. Ridlon was one
of the most prominent and enterprising
business man in this section. He was engaged
in the hard wood numbering business and
did thousands of dollars worth Of business
with the firms of Nutter & Kimball, Phinney
q jackson, Emery and others In Portland.
In 1875 after his left side became paralyzed
and he was rendered speeehless, with the
exception of being able to say the words
Eyes" and "no" he was taken to the Maine
General hospital for treatment. Here the
physicians declared that his case was unlike
any that had ever come under their observa-
tion. His mind seemed perfectly clear to
comprehend everything that was said to him
and by signs and gestures he would communi-
cate ideas to others. The physicians took
HIM out upon the street to test his judgment,
and as he had been a shrewd Judge and
speculator in cattle, he was asked 10 estimate
the weight of four OK team, which he did
with close figures. His judgment Of the
weight and value of the stock remained un-
impaired to the day Of his death. While he
could read and write numerical characters
and calculate as readily as ever with them,
yet he had lost the power to read print, and
was unable to tell single letter of the alpha
bet. Mr.. Ridlon was man much loved and
respected by this community andis a loss TO
the place as well as TO his family.

Charges Against Gen. Morgan.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE Senate

ton of Thomas j. Morgan to be Indian com
missioner, and debated it an hour and half
without coming to vote. The nomination
of DR.. Dorchester to be superintendent of
Indian schools, was discussed incidentally,
as DR.. Dorchester and Gen. Morgan were as
sOciated in the same charges made against
the latter. Senator Jones of Arkanas, made
a long speech and aimed at the military rec
ord of Gen. Morgan.
Senator Vest paid more attention to the
charge that Commissioner Morgan and Su-

1t was a wise woman who urged a
weary, nervous mother to stop try
ing so hard to make her children
happy and to simply let them grow
and develop naturally, and to direct
their growth properly As far as
practicable throw your children
upon their own resources, teach
them to walt upon themselves, and
to construct their own playthings.
Teach them to love to be clean, that
there is nothing so mean as a lie,
ont anything so miserable as DISC
bedience. Teach them to love ma
ture and all things beautiful, to be
thoughtful end tender of their pets
of all live things, and that good
health, good teeth, and good temper
come from plain food, plenty of
sleep, and being good.
In order to thrive, children re-
quire certain amount of "letting
alone" Supreme faith in mother.
few toys, no 6nery, plain food, no
drugs, and early to bed are the best
things, add the practical woman, for
making them happy. 1t is truth
that many parents forget that young
folks are often ruined by over much
lecturing where experience should
be the only teacher. | wish all pa
rents who can would follow this ad-
vice: ''Give your boys colt,
pig, some hens, a garden or fruit
patch-in fact any good, live, grow
ing or workable property. Let them
pay interest on the investment, all
expenses oflabor, feed manure, or
whatever it may be, except what
time the care to give it after hours
Let them manage the thing under
these conditions loan them a few
dollars with which to carry on their
business, if necessary.
Sometimes they will lose money /;
oftener they will make it. In either
case they will learn how to do bust
ness and more than likely they will
learn to like farming. Religiously
leave them in possession of all they
make, even if it be more than their
father is worth. Don't push sin
gle bit of advice at them in this af-
fair. Let them get into the habit of
asking advice and information.

PILLS WON'T CURE DYSPEP.
STA

Dyspeptics are ever hopeless.
They seek e,ief from their distress
OF stomach and liver, and find it not.
Indigestion, heartburn, vertigo,
extreme lassitude, loss of energy,
peevishness, etc., is the bare of their
existence and mars the complacent
feelings of others around the family
freside, Why won't dyspeptics
come and he cured. Itcan be done.
There is one sure way Of strengthen
ing the digestive organs and remov-
ing every symptom of general de-
bility caused thereby. Butthis cam
not be done by the taking of pills
and other cathartic mixtures. Such
treatment while seeming to give
temporary relief at first, in the end
aggravates the disease and increases
the suffering, for it is like whipping
a tired horse, it irritates and urges,
but the strength to move at last
gives out entirely. Thousands Of
former dyspeptics are now happy in
health and strength of stomach
brought about by the use OF the
finest OF strengthening and leading

rilla sold.

The ambitious man does not always
success in reaching the top. Ner-
vous energy does not always make
success, as we are subject to higher
powers. The ambition to become
wealthy is laudable, but must be
held within the bounds ofpropriety.
"By this sin the angels feli," and
is undoubtedly the cause of many
failures to-day-that is, the ambition
to get rich too fast. Success in life
may be said to be occupying the POI
sition assigned you, and in grasping
the situation you are in. Flooding
under those conditions invariably
sometimes turns up, the condition
of the times assuring you success.

THE weak minded denizens of Oak land are greatly disturbed over the evil prophecies of a religio-maniac who professes to have received a revelation from God that a fearful earthquake and tidal wave will destroy San Fran cisco, Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, Chicago and Milwaukee on April 14th. His doleful utterances converted sev- eral enthusiastic alarmists who have held public meetings and obtained many believers in the prophesied woes to come. They go about the city cry ing to the people to "flee to the noun tains" and some of the converts have sold their possession and secured rail. road trans Jortation to the Sierra Ne vada mountains and laid in supplies for their support during the great calamity. Trains have been chartered for April 7th, when the exodus will be gin. Several people have lost theil reason through the excitement anC the prospects for filling the lunatiC asylums increase as days pass by. The press advises the authorities to abat, the nuisance in a summary manne and some steps will likely be taken tC stop the farcical craze.
