Poland Spring, July 1.-This beautiful
place has been the scene today of a novel

Kicker, proprietors of the famous spring
and hotel, have celebrated the hundredth
anniversary of their occupancy of the
farm by the dedication of the new library
building.
The building which the State of Maine
erected on the grounds of the Columbian
exposition at Chicago, has been brought
here and erected again in the beautiful
grove near the hotel. 1t is beautifully
furnished, and includes many of the ar
ticles in the building at the time of the

Through the efforts of the noble sons of

Yes, and was cured by it and-married

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction TO millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

every Objectionable substance.

Scheme as Old as Civilization Itself, an,
Has Been Successful.

mas Deen SUCCESSFUL
here are records of a pawnshop
regulated in the interest of the bor-
towers in Bavaria in 1893, and one in
the Franche Comte in 1850, before the
first Italian monti di pieta was estab-
hshed by priest at Perugia in 1440,
says the Contemporary Review. The
movement for state regulated pawn
shops received its great impetus from
the action of that statesman-monk and
social democrat, Savonarola, who lib
Grated the Florentines from oppression
and gave them popular institutions.
In no other direction were his SER
vices to the people more successful
than in founding monti di pieta. The
law for creating his monti di pieta was
passed in 1895, and before many years
they were established in all the prin-
cipal towns in Italy and had spread
throughout Europe.
The first mont de piete in France
was started at Avignon in 1877, and
still exists. Their establishment in
the Netherlands dates from the Six
teenth century. A Spanish priest,
Don Francisco Piquer, founded the
mont de piete of Madrid in 1908, start
ing with the modest capital of 5
pence, which he found in the offertory
box he had placed in the church to re-
ceive contributions for the institution.
By the end of the seventeenth century
there were monts de piete, formed
moIe or less after the italian model,
in most countries of Europe.
The characteristics of the original
institutions remain with those of to
day, although they have long since
ceased to be managed by the priests,
or to be under the influence of the
churches. The main object, which
Savonarola and other early founders
had in view-the protection of the
poor from usurers and their relief in
periods of distress-is still maintained,
and the monts de piete in all Latin
countries are associated with charit-
able institutions and hospitals.
