bear a repetition. Six years ago, where
now are half dozen comfortable houses
large brick school building in process
of erection and new cottage just begun,
there was one small farm house Here
came Rev. Mr.. Hinkley, looking for a
place where he might begin what he had
long regarded as his life work. When a
young man, striving to secure the means
of obtaining an education, Mr. Hinkley
resolved that, after he had fitted himself
for useful career. he would make it
a purpose of his life, to aid poor boys
who might otherwise be deprived Of good
homes and the opportunity of acquiring
an education. As the result of this reso-
luton, he succeeded in raising the funds
to purchase farm. They tell an inter
esting story here of the way in which
Mr.. Hinkley was led to Fairfield. He was
on the point Of buying farm in Fayette.
He was worn out by hard work and on
the verge of nervous prostration. In this
condition he went to the house of the
woman from whom he was to buy the
farm. While waiting for the papers to be
prepared, Mr. Hinkley suddenly found
ness, being hardly able to walk. A physi
clan whom he consulted, told him to 90
home and seek rest If he would avoid an
attack of nervous prostration. 1t was
while on his way home that Mr.. Hinkley
was shown the present Good Will Farm
by Mr.. e. P. Mayo Of Fairfield. The
beauty of the situation, the fertile fields
sloping to the Kennebec, the outlook of
a pleasant farming region, stamped this
as the site of the future home for boys
The purchase was made and Mr.. Hinkiey
soon began his work with family Of
three boys. Mr.. Hinkley relied on the aid
of benevolent people but he made no per-
sonal appeals. He delivered addresses ex-
planning his purpose and started the
"Good VIII Record" newspaper
devoted to the cause His methods were
sufficient and when, as soon happened,
the little family of boys numbered fifty
the means were forthcoming to build
another cottage. This in time was out
grown and SO cottage has followed cottage
until now there is hamlet of half a
dozen houses where only six years ago
was the farm house and a small cottage.
The farm house and cottage are included
in the present number but SO enlarged
and improved as to be hardly recogniz-
able.
The boys who come to Good Will Farm
range in age from the little shaver of five
or six to the youth of fourteen. Thew.
come from all parts of Maine and places
outside. In some cases a widowed
mother sends her boy here so that she
may the better support herself, paying
small sum each week towards the boys

TRUSTING WOMEN.
THEIR CONFIDENCE OFTEN LEADS
TO SUFFERING.
An Ohio Woman's Experience, as Here
Related, is Interesting to Every
American Woman.
., ESPECIAL TO QUE LADY nEADrns.1

1t is very sad fact that the more a
woman trusts to the skill of her physician
in treating her female complaints, the
longer she is apt to suffer.
Lydia E. Pinkham fully realized this
fact when she commenced that exhaus-
tive study that has enabled the women of
the world to help themselves. She dis
covered the source of female complaints,
and produced the Vegetable Compound,
which is their absolute cure.
When such testimony as the following
is given, the woman who thinks should
act quickly, and no longer permit herself
to trust to incompetent doctors. The
Vegetable Compound is sold by all drug
gists, and every woman should have it.

GOOD WILL ASSEMBLY

is unique feature of an unique institu-
t1on. Once year, the Good Will boys
leave their homes in the cottages and
camp out in the fields on the farm, so
that the visiting boys may be lodged.
Mr.. Hinkley is devoting his life to the
service OF his boys, and it is to him that
the young fellows who join the boys of
the Home in this assembly owe the priyi-
lege. AS Mr.. Hinkley explains it, "the
whole thing is an attempt to give our
boys and the boys who come here an idea
That there is no conflict between religion
and the enjoyment of the good things in
life " So the meetings are arranged to
include religious talks. natural history
and other subjects appropriate to the oc-
casion, and then the boys are given an
opportunity to indulge in the national

thought that the picture was already

MR.. HINKLEY'S AIM

to teach the boys what home life is. For
this reason they are divided into families
of 15, and each family occupies a house,
a matron being in charge. To carry out
the family idea, the houses are of differ
ent design and there is nothing about the
place to remind the visitor of an "insti-
tuition" While the designs Of the houses
are different, the interior arrangement is
much the same Here is the we'll fur
nished parlor, with rugs, pictures and
easy chairs; the large and comfortable
dining room a cheerful sitting room and
the kitchen. Upstairs are the sleeping
rooms. The boys largely take care OF
these houses themselves, some assisting
the matron in one household duty, some
in another. Then there is the farm to be
attended to, and the boys help in this
work, the big boys driving the teams and
doing some Of the heavier work; the lit
tie chaps doing the lighter chores. The
school is as well conducted as those in
any Maine town. W. w. Mayo, Colby
graduate of the class of re, is principal
and manager of the homes. g. B.
Cowan, State College man, class of '94,
is assistant teacher, and Miss Emma
Griswold teaches the intermediate depart
ment. The boys are assisted in carrying
out their ambitions as to q vocation. For
instance. two of them want to be bakers.
