confined to the past for subjects of inter-
est and pride. In twenty years Haverhill
has grown enormously. She now numbers
80, 900 people and is constantly increasing.
The shoe business has been the chief cause
of this enlargement and the growth of
the two has been with equal step.'
Notwithstanding the blight now fallen on
trade and the danger to our whole nation
al stability proclaimed in the Chicago
platform, the shoe industry of this city is
prosperous. A large addition is being
made to one factory and one of our manu-
facturers has bought plant in Amesbury
with the idea of running it in addition to
his business here. Besides these things
we have fine school system, a public
library of nearly $4,000 volumes, an eff
fcient fire and police service, and some
fifteen churches and religious organiza-
tons.
How many boys from Maine have help
ed to make this city what it is could not
say definitely. But the number is large.
One of the largest manufacturers of ladies
slippers in this city, or indeed in the
United States, came from the Dixmont
hills. A leading hardware merchant is
from one Of the towns near Portland an
other, now retired and wealthy, is from

This citys prosperity is only another
evidence of the thrift, sound judgment,
skill and common sense of the people who
come from Maine. Scores of shoe cutters.
edge settlers, trimmers, etc., are from that
State. Of the business men here | believe
a census would show over one half born in
Maine and New Hampshire. But no true
son of the Pine Tree State ever forgets
his home. That fine poem Of Mr.. F. H.
Colley's, recently printed in The Journal,
expresses our sentiments for the good old
''Maine Land" Whatever his avocation
in life, however far afeld it may call him,
the Maine boy has warm love for the
land OF his birth and early training.

Letter from Haverhill, Mass.



HAvERH1LL, MASS, Aug. 81, 1896
Some notes on the places and objects of
historic import in this city might not be
devoid of interest to readers OF your valu-
able paper The city of Haverhill is one
of the oldest in this Commonwealth
being settled in 1910. The church over
which | am now settled was organized in
1915 and celebrated it's two hundred and
tiftieth anniversary last October. Hannah
Duston, whose name is known to every
school child as that of the woman who
with one female companion and a boy,
killed and scalped ten Indians on the
island of Contoocook, was born and lived in
this city. The location of the house from
which she was taken is still pointed out,
and the brick house in which she and her
family lived after her heroic adventure is
now occupied by a well to do family. Her
statue, the work of local artist, stands
in City Hall Park.
In 1908 BENZ. Rolfe, the second pastor
of the First Parish, was killed, together
with his wife and child, in an attack by the
French and Indians. The spot is marked
by a granite block at the corner of Main
and Summer streets. Pentucket cemetery
contains the graves of many who We're
killed in Indian wars On the grave stones
are many quaint old epitaphs, some more
than two centuries old. In the east part
of the city is one of the old garrison
houses to which the people fed for pro
lection. 1t is built of brick brought
from England prior to 1890. On the
summit of hill, and forming a conspcu-
Gus object in the landscape, is one of the
old brick powder houses such as early
New England towns used for magazines.
1t was sealed up in 1888. The birth place
of Jonathan Buck was in Haverhill. He
founded and gave his name to Bucksport,

About two and half miles from City
Hall on the road to Mcrrimac and Ames-
bury is the birthplace of John G.. Whit
tier, the beloved poet. Hundreds of peo-
pie from all over the world visit it each
year. The house is kept as nearly as may
be in the original condition. Three rooms,
F, including the kitchen, are kept for in
spection Whoever has read "Snowbound"
would wish to see this kitchen. Here is
the huge fireplace, where

1t is around this ''clean winged HEARTH
that Whittier has drawn for so many
readers charmed idyllic circle. The
drowsy house dog stretched close to the
fire: the magnified shadow of the cat on the
wall; the mug of cider hanked by row
of apples and basket of nuts from ''brown
| Octobers wood; the family circle, con
sisting of father, mother, children, uncle,
aunt, the district school teacher and one
other mot unfeared half welcome guest;''
these are all familiar, no doubt, to every
journal reader. Many articles of furni-
ture in use at that time in the family are
now preserved in the house-chairs, a
mirror, old china, etc. The iron crane

Iistless and dull and unfit to perform the
duties of her household or the higher duties

children she risks her own life, and her
children will be sickly, puny and weak
There is always danger ahead for such a
woman unless she takes prompt measures
to cure her troubles and stop the draiu upon
her system.
An unfailing cure for all weakness and
disease of the organs distinctly feminine is
found in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
1t acts directly and only on that one set of
organs. 1t transforms the woman tortured
with the troubles peculiar to her sex 1t fits
her for wifehood and motherhood. Taken
during the period preceding motherhood it
does away with the usual discomforts Of
that time. 1t makes the coming of baby
safe and almost painless. Women who want
to know all about the "Favorite Prescrip-
ton " should write to DR.. Pierce, chief con-
sulting physician to the Invalids Hotel ard
