More Litigation.

1t will be remembered that consider
able opposition was developed to the
location of the track of the Somerset
Traction Co. up Madison avenue, which
was finally decided by the railroad COM
missoners locating it on the westerly
side of the street. In order to deter
mine just where to put the track, the
county commissioners were called on to
define the limits of the highway. This
was done and the bounds defined in
such way as was hoped by the county
commissioners would be satisfactory
to the land owners. But some of the
land owners have been looking up their
titles and hold that by the present To-
cation several feet of land are taken
from the front of their lots. AS no
damages were awarded these land own
ers purpose to fight it out. Forrest
Goodwin, esq, attorney for two of the
land owners, has filed notice of appeal
with the county commissioners. The
action will probably be heard at the
March term of the S. J. Court. The de-
termining of the exact line of this street
is not unattended with considerable
difficulty and the case may be an ex-
tended one.

Death from Cold.

Technically, there is no such thing as
freezing to death, though the result is
Just the same as If there was. A man SO
unfortunate as to be overcome by the
cold is found lying down in the snow,
dead. Now, according to the doctors
he died either of apoplexy or coma, or
of paralysis of the heart. Sometimes
the surface blood is CONCEAL d in the
veins, and there is this great pressure on
The brain. This induces the "irresistibl,
sleepiness' that, if once yielded to,
proves fatal. Sometimes a blood vesse
is found burst in the rain when the
press uIe becomes too great.
This is apoplexy, pure and simple
Again, people have been found stand
ing upright, the machinery of life hay
ing stopped instaltaneOusly from pa
ralysis of the heart. Again, when the
temperature falls much in the night, old
people have often been found dead in
their beds, though not frozen, and the
verdict death from old age" given. In
reality the old person might have lived
years longer, but the sudden change In
the temperature made too large de-
mand on his vitality.

In writing of an evening with Long

His Best Known Poems Hezekiah But
terworth in Ladies' Home Journal says
My poem entitled The Bridge, " said
Longfellow in effect, was written in
sorrow, which made me feel for thu
loneliness of others. was widower
at the time, and l used sometimes to go
over the bridge to Boston evenings to
meet friends and to return near mid
night by the same way. The way was
silent, save here and there a belated
footstep. The sea rose or fell among the
wooden piers, and there was great
furnace on the Brighton hills whose red
light was reflected by the waves. 1t WAS
on such a late solitary walk that the
spirit of the poem came upon me. The
bridge has been greatly altered, but the
place of it is the same. "

charm most generally worn by the peo-
pie in that part Of the car s vast do
main is round, fat bone which is
found in the head of certain species of
northern fish. They are called "colic

of such charms believe that they have
the power to prevent collie and host of
other diseases among the minor ailments
to which human flesh is heir. This
qLter superstition is not confined to the

exist in all kinds of society. The

There has been some talk among the
people who are acquainted with the old
story, of providing a monument for old
Chief Sabatis who lies buried on the
hillside near Oak Grove Seminary in
Vassalboro. Sabatis was the Indian
who guided Benedict Arnold through
Maine on his memorable expedition.
He lived to be a very old Indian and for
many years dwelt in small cabin on
the edge of Moses Starkey's pasture.
Stunted dwarfed apple trees now mark
the site of this cabin. When Sebatis
died the Vassalboro Quakers allowed
the Indians to inter him in the Friends
burying ground and a very slovenly
grave was dug on the southern edge of
the grave yard. The spot is exactly de-
terminable, however, for the older
Friends of the town have kept this
grave and it's story treasured in tradi-
ton and history, moreover, points out
the spot. The Starkey place is still in
possession of that family. Old Chief
Sebatis should have a memorial tablet
at his humble mound.

Few people know that all plants con-
tain digestive principles. They cannot
absorb their food until it is digested any
more than animals can. The Mount
Lebanon Shakers have learned the art of
extracting and utilizing these digestive
principles, and it is for this reason that
their Shaker Digestive Cordial is meet
ing with such phenomenal success in the
treatment of dyspepsia. The Shaker
Digestive Cordial not only contains food
already digested, but it also contains
digestive principles which aid the di-
gestion of other foods that may be eaten
with it. A single 10 cent sample bottle
will be sufficient to demonstrate its
value, and we suggest that every suffer-
ing dyspeptic make trial of it. Any
druggist can supply it.
