and cheaply. He usually prepared his own
frugal breakfast that he might have an un-
interrupted morning for his wotk, but he
walked over to the Greenacre Inn for his
dinner. His book and writing table stood in
the middle of the room, so as to be safe
from possible damage from storm beating
through the sides of the cabin; 1t was not
lmpervious to rain. But, my reader asks,
how about bolts and bars? What was there
to hinder any evil-disposed person from

trunk? There was nothing to hinder, and

drawn, the book table looked as if 1t had
been recently in use and the key was in the
lock of the trunk. Appearances indicated
that the occupant had just stepped out for
few moments, and we waited awhile, and
no one appeared. On inquiry, later, we
learned that the Judge" was In Boston
for week. AT another call when the.
"Judge" was out, a friend found basket
of fine pears and apples on the table, and
the placard Help Yourself" above it.

A Cabin Among the Pines.
GETTER FROM HELEN MANNIING.)


SOmervile, Mass. Oct. %, 1895.
There are people who sigh for 'lodge il
ZONE vast wilderness" and who never have
found way to realize their dream. As 9
suggestion as to how this can be done with
comfort and profit, allow me to describe a
cabin in the pines near Greenacre, Elliot
county, Maine, which served its occupant
for three happy mouths.
The little cabin stood in an open space
just back from the entrance of rarely
beautiful pine forest. One who Is familiar
with the pine groves and forests of Maine
will readily understand why it could not be
built among the trees, the groves are so
dense that the suns rays never touch the
ground The cabin was twelve by twelve,
nine feet high in front and seven behind;
,he posts and cross-beams were cut from the
pines. 1t had a tight board roof, thorough
by waterproof; the two sides and the end
were matched with juniper, while the entire
front was large canvas on two rods which
could be thrown wide open, The floor was
n deep carpet of pine needles. The bed
posts were cut from the forest and the bed
itself was made of pine and fir boughs. The
cabin was built by its occupant and cost
less than ten dollars.
The cabin faced in the direction of the
yetting sun and there was no house in sight.
In front of it was one of the old stone
Fences which are characteristic of New Eng
Mnd landscapes, while to one side ran an
sld-fashioned, moss-covered board fence
with entrance bars. From an elevation
lew rods distant, Mt. Agamenticus could be |
clearly seen, with Mt. Washington i'm the |
distance, while the beautiful, broad Pisca-
sagua could be seen shmmerng through the |
trees to the north. The BURBERRY, bar
berry, partrdge-bery, and juniper abound
ed, each with its peculiar charm. Rare beds |
Of moss four Or five inches deep appeared in |
the open, as wellbas large spaces covered |
with brake and other ferns. So peaceful !
were the depths that the stiffness of the |
night was rarely broken except by an ocas-
sonal carriage or wagon rumbling over a
distant bridge. With the first faint flush of
day-dawn, the birds began their intermit-
tent chirruping and at length they burst
forth into full chorus Of song.
LwIll call the occupant of this romantic
little cabin, the Judge" for that was the
title usually bestowed upon him by his
neighbors, though If l were to call him the
,iDoctorp or the Professor" it would come
nearer the truth. He-rhas been connected
with college in Boston, and is also known
IS lecturer and iterateur, and Is Phi. ID.
from John Hopkins. He is a man of mas
sive physique, never has been sick day In
his life and his face wears the illumination
of a soul which lives consciously In the
Divine Presence. His object in seeking this
seclusion was to enjoy the inspiration gained
by living close to the heart of Nature where
he might mediate. study and write advan-
ageously and at the same time live simply

Deafness Cannot he cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube get inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure

When person begins to grow thin there
is something wrong. The waste is greater
than the supply and it is only question Of
time when the end must come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble is
with the digestive organs. n you can re-
store them to healthy condition you will
stop the waste, put on new flesh and cause
them to- feel better in every way. The food
they eat will be diggested and appropriated
to the needs of the system and a normal
appetite will appear.
Consumption frequently follows vast

The Money Question.
Continued from page 2.

The above has been written for the
benefit of the masses, but now I wish
to add a few remarks for the benefit Of
a class of men who ought to know and
who probably do know better than to
do as they are do ng as relates to the
silver question.
refer to reformerS who seem dis
posed to so far sanction a monstrous
sbsurdity, as to pander to the morbid
sentiment that seeks to place metallic
money as a necessity for final pay
ment. am not calling in question
the propriety of having both gold and
silver money if we must have either.
But what do object to is to allow the
silver question to relegate to the rear,
if not wholly ignore, the true and only
money function found in any and all
classes of the circulating medium. 1
would not have reformers at present
otherwise antsgonize cit her gold or sill
YER than to keep steadily, constantly
and emphaticslly before the people, in
platforms, on the stump, and in the
public prints, the real nature and
proper functions of money; not only
this, but I would at some time insist
upon the very important truth that
true economy must forever dictate the
use of full legaltender paper money.
Any and all pandering to false ideas of
money must result in protracting and
aggravating the struggle between the
people and shylock. All compromises
with the chsttel slave power only pro.
longed and complicated the issues, So
it must be in the present conflict. Any
false monetary system is utterly incom-
pstible with any permanent adjust
ment of our difficulties.
What we want and what we must
have is education, rreet, full and
clear, along all lines, but more espe.
cially that of money. Any side track
ing here will aggraVate and prolong
the struggle. am aware that office
seekers naturally study shortcut plans
desire to assure their own early pro-
motion-but the success of every real
reform depends, not upon office.seek-
ers, but upon those who feel no other
desire for success than love of country,
love Of the brotherhood of man. Let
our teachers, whether In the editorial
chair, on the stump, or in the pulpit,
always teach the truth, and the whole
truth. The objeCtor, and sometimes he
js found to be Populist, attempts to
tnoW that the doctrine that labor alone
should measure value is absurd by
pointing to the fact that sometimes an
outlay of only a few days labor dis
covers mine of wealth amounting to
millions of dollars worth, and hence it
Is insisted that it would be absurd to
claim that labor alone measures value.
To meet this objection in this paper
would be claiming too much space;
and, therefore, l must defer further
treatment to a future paper. In the
next issue of the ADVOCATE, with the
editors permission, l shall try to pre-.
sent my views as to field of great i'm.
portsnce, which this objection opens
