Congressman Milihen has received pro
test from Castine residents against the pro-
posed removal of condemned cannon from
that town. Some time ago Mr. Milliken in
troduced bill in Congress authorizing the
Secretary of War to grant possession of an
old gun of this class to Thomas H Marshall
Post, G. A. R., of Belfast. This bill includ-
ed cannon at Castine, which were left there
by the British in the war of 1872, having
been used in the Qualifications at that place.
1t has been shown that the citizens of Cas-
tine appreciate the old guns and have,
through private contributions, already
mounted two of them. Mr.. Milliken has
therefore amended his bill to exclude the

of notice, struck off, he says, during his
youthful and inexperienced period. The
freshness, strength and vivid pictur-
esqueness of these stories, however, is
indisputabe. There is one especial
charm in the work of Mr. Davis, and that
is the originality and wholesome tone of
his stories, pervaded, as they always
are, by spirit of enthusiasm
which is alluring, and is no
doubt but the inspiration of his
own splendid personality. Cinderella"
the initial story in the work, is capital
reading. The figures stand forth clear
cut and marvelously truthful and life
like, and Van Bibber," which long ago
won his way into the hearts of Mr.. Da-
Wis admirers, lends his charm and fasci-
nation to the story. 1t is impossible to
give an extract to show the animation of
incident or the pervading spirit of humor
which always seems to characterize his
work. The last story is the best in the
book, 1.-THE Reporter Who Made Him
self King" The keen sense of humor is
here SO diffused and subtle that it is
hard to explain the charm. The young
reporter is so naive and perfectly fresh"
in the uniqueness and originality of his
nature, his repartee is so quick and
sparkling, that in the adventures and
hurry of action the reader becomes en-
thralled.
Surely this little volume can be recon-
mended as a splendid tonic; if you are
possessed of those blue DEVILS" or down

reporter and laugh, as you will be forced
to do and in the process grow happier,

JULIAN HAWTHORNE AND OTHER BOOK

The phenomenal success of Julian
Hawthorne in winning the New York
Herald's prize in the competition of sto-
ries last year is SO apparent that the
reader finds it difficult to take distinct
interest in the tale apart from the fact
that it cost $4,000, that every page cost
$34.S4 and each word II cents With this
consciousness he vaguely debates within
himself and wonders why this story
should have been successful above the
many thousands of others that must
have figured in the competition.
Some critic has been kind enough to
comment upon the fact that Mr. Haw-
thorne's brother-in-law was one of the
judges and deduces the conclusion that
he recognized this authors work and
was partial or else If he did not rec

a low average, each man had $40 to spend

$4,000, for the man who returned to his
ship with any change in his pocket was
the next thing to a freak.
All of this $4,000 was spent within a
very small section of the city, not more
than half a mile in diameter, with the
center at Chatham Square. In the old
days this was the toughest part of the
city, and even now, when the angel OF

tough. Chinatown, with its many vicious

WORK AND WEAR.
Repairs to Machinery While In
Motion.
How Waste May BE Prevented ana
Energy Maintained.


Energy Maintained.
II a machine works, it must wear
out. It matters not whether it is the
common pillow of the field or the most
complicated printing press. WORK
means waste. It is certain that these
machines would last much longer II
they did not wear out. Then only
some accident would necessltate the
purchase of new parts.
The human body is complicated
piece of machinery which is constantly
at work. There is not an activity OF
the body, from the movement OF a
muscle to the digestion of food, which
does not cause waste. Physiology
teaches that we are constantly being
supplied with new material to take
the place of that which is worn out:
When the body is debilitated by dis
ease. how quickly it could be built up,
provided we could only allow all the
parts complete rest. But, of course,
this is impossible, for the changing OF
the foods into the various organs and
tissues of the body means work, and
this work means waste. However, we
can aid the body in it's work and save
It much labor.
We can take especial care to use only
those foods which are easily digested,
and yet are highly nourlshing. When
it is necessary to add some valuable
food which is also a medicine, as cod
liver oil, then we can save the body an
immense amount of work by digesting
the oil before giving it. How can an
oil be digested9 If you will consult
some work on physiology you will
learn that an oil is digested when it
is broken up into minute globules, so
small that high powers of the micro
scope are necessary to see the little
drops of fat. When the oil has been
digested in this way it is called an
"emulsion."
This is why Scott's Emulsion of Cod
liver Oil with Hypophosphites is so
easily borne by delicate stomachs,
does not cause diarrhoea, and never
produces gas in the stomach. When
persons are i'll, the digestion is also
weak. But Scott's Emulsion is already
digested, hence the body is not obliged
to expend strength in preparing it
for absorption. You at once see the
advantage of Scott's Emulsion over
raw cod-liver oil. It also contains
the hypophosphites which every one
recognizes as such strong tonics to the
nervous system.
Scott's Emulsion has been Endorsed
by the medical profession for twenty
years. Ask your doctor. Because it
is always palatable-always uniform
always contains the purest Norwegian
Cod-liver Oil and Hypophosphites. In
sist on Scott's Emulsion with trade
mark of man and fish. Put up in soc.
and $1.O0 sizes. The small size may
be enough to cure your cough or help
your baby.
