The first qeustion for discussion was pre-
sented by Hon. i. b. Neatly, the paper being
What Can the State Board Do to Promote
the Industrial Interests of Maine" In brief,
his answer was that the board could best
serve Maine by planting and fostering local
boards of trade. not paper ones " ith lists of
officers only, but live ones, active, aggressive
and enthusiastic. With these vigorous and
powerful. strong state board comes of it
self, as springs gather into q river. and 1t
will be vigorous and powerful precisely as are
the parts that compose it. In this way. and
in this way only, can we have strong state
board of trade, the combined information
and Investigations of all the local boards,
which will be a blessing to the state and a
power in the community. The discussion of
this question was continued by Mr.. @. l.

HUCKNALL ToRKARD, ENG, Feb. g.
In a railway carriage between B~ayreuth and
Nuremburg, 1 once heard a little Bavarian
school girl ask a travelled Philadelphia
where the great and good Benjamin Frank
lin was buried. Gracious and prompt as
we Americans always are in supplying effete
Europeans with information. he promptly
answered that Franklin's ashes reposed in
Westminster Abbey.
This American man was undoubtedly born
within half a mile of Franklin's tomb in
his own city, and may nave passed within a
few feet of the meanly-kept, unhonored
grave nearly every day of his own home
life. Englishmen may cherish the heritage
to Britain of Byron's immortal genius; but
Byron's grave is no more a shrine 10 them
than was Franklin's to his townsman. This
may seem incredible to intelligent Ameri-
cans. The gradually acquired recognition
Of its truth was astounding to me.
Though l had come to know, in a geo
graphical sense, / found it was with similar
vagueness any other body knew at all; and
so few knew even this poor bit about where
Byron lay, that the repetition of the Dues
zion and replies came to possess u melan-
choly sort of fascination. Over 1000 an

answer the question. But guide books are
for strangers, not residents. And to what
ever stranger may have accidentally seen the

THE BELLE OF THE SEASON
The Strange but True Story of a
Beautiful Woman.
MADE NEW THROUGHOUT.
A Beautiful American Lady Vino, After Reign
ing as a Belle for Several Seasons, Found
Her Stealth Broken and Her LovsIiness
Gone, Tells How She Was Restored to Bet
ter Health and Greater Beauty Than Ever.

A beautiful American lady had grown male
and thin. "The belle of the season" was tired.
Each passing winter had found her in the fore
front of social gayety. and each recurring sum-
mer had tossed her like a straw from city TO
seaside, from seaside to mountains and from
mountains to country. 1t was very pIea-ant
while it lasted. There were balls and dinners
in the winter, with hosts of admiring friends to
bear witness to her social triumphs. 4 black
and dismal day came when she was forced to
admit, even to herself. that her influence was
gone and til It she was merely 4 belle of the
past. She was no longer beautiful. Flesh and
blood and nerves had stood the strain as long as
they could, and then they went to the wall.
Realizing that the youth and beauty of her
life had come to an end. and knowing how
hopeless 1t was to doctor shattered nerves and
a wornout constitution, she took I'D the
broken threads of her saddened existence
and sought in some neglected corner of
