system Of the special urgency tile. y bill
OF his had been at the head of the file on
Thursday, and he now found il at the
foot. He understood that the Tile should
have been inverted each alternate day,
but found that Senator Aram had been at
the head of the file W ednesday evening
and was at the head of the file last night,
while his Ford'sJ bill had been lost in the
shuttle.

ARAM TALKS GEOMETRY.

Senator Aram offered q geometrical
proposition, hinging upon parabolic
curve and a straight line, and declared
it would be wrong TO place upon the
statute books an unconstitutional law of
this kind, and even if it were constitu-
tional the Senate should think long and
carefully before passing it.

Senator McGowan's bill for the forma-
ton of mutual county insurance COM
panies was passed by vote of "a to 10.
Much of the time of the afternoon ses-
sion was taken up by the consideration of
a. B. 470. which carries, as well as the
educational qualifications voted upon at
the recent election, provision extending
the suffrage to women. Senator Gesford
came forward with an amendment eIimi-
mating the suffrage provision, and it was
promptly adopted. McGowan started The
ball rolling by moving a reconsideration
of the vote whereby the amendment was
adopted. Then for over two hours the
air was lurid with flashes of w.t. humor
and satire, and in the end the Senate re-
fused to reconsider by a vote of 16 to %.
The bill which was refused passage at
Thursdays evening session was recon-
sidered and passed. It is to prevent able
bodied men from banding together for
the purpose of demanding aims, and is
commonly known as the Tramp Act"
Messages were received from the Gov
ernor announcing that he had approved
five and vetoed one Senate bill-the bill

wITHINGToN, TOO.

Senator Wilmington (Rep.) could not
vote for the bill without the amendment,
as the lawyers in the Senate were a unit
in declaring it unconstitutional. The
Senator from Humboldt (McGowan)
should not be held responsible for his
flow of eloquence, surrounded as he was
by perfume (McGowan having been pre-
sented with a basket of camellias) and
backed up by the fair sex as he was the
space back of McGowan's seat being
lined with women; he should not be
held accountable for his speech, being in
toxicated by the influences surrounding
him.

Senator Mathews thought the question
of suffrage probably meant the entire
uprooting of the social system. He
could not forget his allegiance to his
mother, sister and wife, all of whom had
tongue to speak, hand to raise or vote
to cast. he should protest against the
purity of women being thrown against

at once some one had noticed smaller
wire dangling down across the cable so
low that the drivers head must brush
against it in passing.
Then it was that the warning cry
was raised by some one-a boys voice
IL was afterward said:
dead wire! Dead wire!'
The driver, who was no other than
Tom Doddridge, heard the warning
and looked up just as the dangling wire
was about to Craze his face, and then.
TO the great horror of all and the sur
prise of some, he had tumbled from his
seat and fallen, with convulsive mo-
ton of the body. PROSTATE in his
wagon, with the wire in some way at

There was but one conclusion. He

TIE CASTLE FAME.

Higl. on Endeavor'g summit stands
The castle Fame, not made with hands:
Where Perseverance meets renown,
And Patience wears the victor's crown.
q It's rugged battlements nre high,
Its glittering turrets pierce the SKYE
And open wide its portal flies,
When Genius worthily applies.
But bold is he who would assay
To climb the steep and narrow way
That leads DER rocks and mountains bare,
Before you reach the castle fair.
Here Riddy youth, with winged feet,
Awhile ascend. most gayly feet:
TIL, drawn aside.by blooming bowers,
They fold their wings amid the flowers
Some invincible In conceit,
Meier think OF possible defeat;
But falling In each trial vain,
Deride the heights they cannot gain
And hateful Folly's lustful brood
Who plan the downfall of the good,
Like owls and bats the shadows seek,
And dread the light that crowns the peak
But Worth tolls on with steady pace,
The certain winner of the race
And natures vain and vicious bands
Are left to tread earth's sinking sands.

want to be shut up where can't see
anything or hear anyone say wore
about this Oh, it is dreadful! Who
would have thought that wire could
have got the current? Oh, my!'
And no one would have thought the
same but pack Of jabbering idiots, =
sounded the voice of Mike in the boys
ear. Faith, and why hasn't it killed
the horse? Wake up, Tom!'' he shout,
ed, in a loud voice. "And that's a
mighty fine bundle Of wire the boys
| have been giving you"
The people stared at Mike as If they
thought the dreadful calamity had
driven him mad, except few who had
heard and needed his remark about
the horse. They noticed that all the
phenomena did not just accord with
an electrical killing, and some of the
heads, and creep back from the front
ranks, as if not DESTROYS of being
caught in too conspicuous positions.
And they were none too soon about
it, for that minute Tom responded to
the summons of Mike as if it had been
preconcerted signal, and sat up in
his wagon and began reeling in the
new wire, after giving it stout jerk,
to,disengage it from the cable overhead.
Then busy tongues began to fly, and
1t was not five minutes before every
one could tell glibly enough how he
had understood just the nature of the
hoax from the first, and had only
stayed around to help the joke on.
But the truth of the matter was, no
one fully understood it but Tom and
Nike, and it was the pointer the former
had received from the latter, after he
had seen Mr.. Bannister's bundle of wire
disappear from the alley window and
overheard some of the talk of the boys
from his hiding place, which had
turned the intended joke of the young
sters on themselves.
When the situation became under
stood and the laugh went up, Ted Ban
mister was sicker boy than when he
wanted to get to Jail minute ago, or
expiate his supposed crime on the gall
lows.
You may have chance to go to |
jail yet" said a sympathetic by
ssander; ''two of you, at least, for it
was clear case of burglary, taking
that wire in the way you did. And,
besides, Tom claims it as his, and Mr..
Bannister is as mad as a hornet about
L. It's worth two dollars to say the
east
What the boys did do was to agree to
pay for the wire themselves, and the
lext day Tom came and sold it back to
Mr.. Bannister for dollar and a half:
md now there is not boy in the lot
Who would not rather give more than
he price out of his pocket money, than
lear anything said about dead wire.
I'VE ought to have known better"
hey say to one another, when the
to kick themselves is
trongest; ''for didn't we take the
aims to tie 1t under the cable with a
Tx cord. instead of passing it over?"
Yes; but tell you these jokes don't
ay, anyhow"
And it was sure enough this one

the risk of their lives, as he was still In
contact with the wire; and one who
was rash enough to reach out and take
the horse by the bride, to lead it away,
was dragged back as though the whole
equipage were charged with deadly
fluid.
To say that 1t was time of excite
ment expresses it but family. Barring
never had such sensation. And by
this time the most horror-stricken
lookers-on were Ted Bannister and
some of his companions.
When they had stared and stared,
until their eyes were about to protrude
from their sockets, the color began to
leave their cheeks, and Ted sank down
on the curbstone, and covered his face
with his hands, as if to shut out the
expected sight of blue flames darting
their forked tongues from the body of
the poor man.
Some of the other boys skunk away
servation, and then took to their heels
with the speed of scared colts.
But the situation did not last long:
Mike had edged over to where Ted was
all in heap on the ground just in
time to hear him groan out, in answer
to the question of one of his terrified
about the only one that
was to be seen on the ground:
''Will they hang us, Ted, when they
find this out?"

us! l can't stand it any longer ] am

HOODS SARSAPARILLA

Removes the cause by purifying and en-
riching the blood, giving to it just those
qualities which are demanded for the
proper support Of the nervous system.
Hundreds of women who once suffered
from nervousness, write that they have
taken Hoods Sarsaparilla and nervousness
has disappeared. This was because Hoods
Sarsaparilla purified their blood.

STRONG NERVES

Depend upon pure, rich, red, nourishing,
strengthening blood. The nerves derive
their sustenance from the blood and when
they are weak it is because they do not re-
ceive the nourishment needed. The true
cure for nervousness will not be found in
opiate or sedative compounds. These only
allay the symptoms.

visions-from spring to summer, anC
from summer to autumn, and from
autumn to winter--or that they paio
little attention to weeks and months
bnt that they counted by holidays,
and especially by those holidays which
were of a jovial hilarious nature in
their observance.
After the Fourth Of July was past
they counted forward to Halloween,
and from Halloween to Christmas, and
from Christmas to All Fools day.
And large part of their study and
planning between times was What
can we do next time that is new?"
They grew tired of all their old fun,
and it kept their brains on the stretch
to think up new and exciting sports
suited to the season.
And SO they were racking their wits
now for some novel joke to perpetrate
on the unwary on the first day of
April. The ''unwary" meant, above
all, Tom Doddridge, the junk man, who
drove bony old horse to tumble
down old wagon and piled thrifty
business in bones, rags, iron and vari-
ous other articles of barter in his line
Tom was not overly bright, and the
boys were disposed to take advantage
of this, as they ought to have been
ashamed to do, and make him the butt
of their jokes
They had striped his horse, and put
runners on his wagon, and crossed the
lines, so that his steed hawed when he
ought to have geed, and geed when he
ought to have hawed. So the natural
question was:
what shall we do to Tom this
time?'
Each boy shook his head and pom
dered.
II have it!' exclaimed Ted Bannis-
ter, after painful silence, in which
new ideas were as scarce as blackber-
ries on Christmas day.
''Oh, some old trick of yours! We've |
heard enough of them
mo, honor bright, this is new. / |
just thought of it. You know there |
was a man shocked by the electric |
wires the other day by touching dead
wire that was hanging down, and / |
heard Tom telling some of the boys
the other night that he just expected
that we would all be killed by this
new-fangled way of sending lightning
shooting from one pole to another.
They say he will hardly buy piece of
old wire for fear it will be a dead wire
and go off or something and kill him
and his horse. Now. we'll FIX up"
"'Shi" from one of the boys, in a
loud stage whisper, suddenly inter
rupted the explanation of the plan.
And the warning came none too soon,
for Tom and his rig drove out of an
alley close by just that minnie and
were brought almost within hearing |
distance.
But the boys hastily took themselves !
10 some more secluded spot and plotted
10 their hearts content against unsus-
pectfng Tom
1t was soon all arranged to their
complete satisfaction, though they took 9
yreat pains to prevent anyone else '
from overhearing them.

ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having tendency

Mrs. Beedy's Lecture.


Concerning the lecture to be given al the
Advent church Monday night. the Bangor
Wing says:
.'The lecture by Mrs. H. B. C. Beedy up
on The Mothers of Maine,' was a most in
tsresting and instructive talk.
I'm its preparation Mrs. Beedy has ex.
amined many records. written many letters
and travelled 1oLg distances in order TO Oh.
tain the facts. The result is a lecture W hich
was heard yesterday with the closest and
most appreciative attention by all the
listeners. 1t WAS delivered clearly and dis
tinctiy and with pleasing grace of vocali-
zation.
MRS. Beedy after the introduction re-
fsrred to the Indian mothers about whom
she said little was known, telling some of
their customs. where they were to be found,
etc.
''She said that travellers who now take a
Pullman car at Boston and come to Maine,
little understood what such journey meant
In the days OF our grandmothers. The early
conflicts with the Indians were spoken of
and many daring adventures related con-
corning these pioneers of Maine. who won
the admiration of the savages by their
heroism."
