WIND In the Aoo0IS
We had slept with horsss grazing. AL through
blistertns day:
Boots and Saddle had sounded. we waited for Hors1
and Away:
The sun down and the grass. dew had begun
70 fall.
And. shrtll across the duskins world. heard ths
whip-poor will call.
wo knew wha. the moon doing the lssring moon
In the east
Calling. calling the master winds, Turing them
feast
Prison nz them in her halo ring till the widest gust
grew tame.
And the stars were blown all ous of the sky. IKE
nicker;ns candle name.
An edritch moon all gbbous, gray in hass of hsAl
and dew.
Although It was June, shiversd there loud thu
buSle blew;
Foot home In stirrup, hand HIT, thundered
down the glade,
And up the hill, where the bravo biueeoas stood
mAssed to check our raid
We rode but a scant nve hundred, they waited q
thousand there.
Yet laughed though twas tho vtew.halloo at tns
uumpet'S snarlins hlarei
Trot! Galop Charge! Twas . ringing run with the
dogs OF Death in cry
Under the leerns gibhous moon. aSiAnt in the windy
sky.
Never a check when the gun-nre broke a. lightning
from a cloud.
Never stay when screaming shell through front and
rank ploushed
On up. over the bristnE slope, . wedge Of Gre and
steel,
We cleft a way through the tough blue ranks Till We
saw the Captain reel.
Thsn broke. and the ieering gibbouS moon un-
leashed the winds OF heaven.

Rev. W. F. Berry of the local Methodist
church, has Just returned from a three

sitting of Rev. j. NJ. Frost Of Bangor,
Rev A.. e. Ruse of Pattsn, Rev. Il. e.
grohook of Kent's Hill All of these
gentlemen are of the same denomination
and very enthusiastic hunters. Each fall
they lay aside few weeks ministerial
duties and go to some place in the heart
of the Maine forests to hunt large game
and take rest. This season they went
up the line of the Bangor & Aroostook
railroad as far,as Norcross and from there
back 20 miles overland to point ~
miles southeast of Mt. Katahdin. Here
they pitched their tents and lived for
three weeks in genuine camp style, do
ing their own cooking over camp fire,
admiring nature and capturing such
of her game as might be palatable to
their tastes. They each brought home
two deer. the legally allotted mum her,
but said they could have shot hundred
in the time they were there. During
the entire time they we're in camp the
weather was most favorable for deer
hunting. The frequent rains kept the
leaves moist, thus enabling the hunters
to get close up to their game without
| maxim & any noise.

SAVED HIS WIFE.
Remarkable Result Of an Adj
vertisement.
Death Was Near When Mr.. Peck
Read 1t.
He Was With the Bridgeport
Brass Co.

NJ M. Peck is a Bridgeport man, living
for many years on East Main street, and
who for eight years was in the employ of
the Bridgeport Brass company. He
writes:
About five years ago we lost child
while my wife was approaching con-
finement and in her delicate state the
shock brought on nervous prostration.
My wife has never been the same since.
The nerves of the stomach being affect,
ed caused what doctors called nervous
dyspepsia Her suffering was awful.
Why even the whites of a couple of eggs
distressed her so that she was forced
to give up all work.
Ceases in the stomach at the same
time affected her heart until it seemed
that death would result at any moment.
Last April I saw Puritana adver-
tised in paper and was attracted by
the name of DR.. Crosby, which is well
known in our family. At the suggestion
of my wife we tried Puritana.
GAS for the result it has been truly
astounding Before one bottle was used
a change for the better was noticeable
or I should not have bought another.
Nov "a tfter several bottles, she eats
three good meals day and food does
not distress her in the least.
Before trying Puritana, we had at
different times tried four doctors in
Bridgeport to no effect.
II have convinced several friends by
my firm belief in Puritana and gladly
give my testimony to republic in the
hope that others may receive the same
benefits that Puritana has brought to
my wife,
(Signed) M M. PECK.
Box 489, Stratford.
While Mr.. Peck was one, probably the
first person in Bridgeport to try Puri-
tana his example has since been fol-
lowed by numberless citizens.

The annual n Getting of the Wisoasset &
Quebec Railroad Company will be held
Wednesday in Wawenock hall, Wiscasset,
at which it Is probable some important
business will be transacted, including
the election of new board of directors.
Hon. f. e. Timberlake has issued a
notice to the subscribers of the Kenne-
bago Railroad Company to meet on the
Goth Inst. to form anTorganiztion. The
proposed road will extend o distance of
miles from Kennebago to Dead River
and it is expected that location will be
asked for. It will be lumbe road.
One of the cars which was in the wreck
at Dresden Wednesday night came into
the freight house in Bangor Thursday
in rather sorry looking condition. The
car was loaded with general merchandise
and was all consigned to man in Houl-
ton. In the lot of stuff were boxes.
bundles, casks and crates, three or four
barrels of kerosene and three hogsheads
Of .molasses. The only damage done in
the wreck to the contents of the car was
to smash stave in one of the hogshuads,
but that was enough. The molasses. ran
out and covered the floor of the car and
into it had dropped many of the boxes
and other stuff, and the freight house
crsw had a sweet JOB. though rather a
sticky one, sorting things out.
The most important case to be heard
during this term of the supreme court
at Bangor is that of the owners Of the
Katahdin Ice house against the Maine
Central Railroad Company, to recovsr
the value Of their property situated be-
tween the tracks Of the railroad company
and the Penobscot river at High Head
which was destroyed by fire on the oven
ing of the 9th day of May last.
The plaintiffs in their writ allege that
they were the owners of an ice house of
the value of $40, 600; of q boiler house
and certain machinery, tools and appli-
ances, consisting of an engine, boiler,
elevator, shafting, belts, runs, rigging
and ice tools of the value of So, 900: of a
large quantity of ice, viz: about 20, DOC
tons stored in said ice house of the value
Of s12, 900; all said property being of the
value Of $4,000. That said railroad
company had an insurable interest in
said property and could have procured
Insurance thereon; that on the 27th day
of May, 1896, all Of said property was de-
stroyed by fire communicated by a To-
connective engine being used by said
railroad company, and that the sole cause
of said fire and such injury and destruc'
tion of their property was the said engine
Of said corporation.

She sings ballad or comic song,
dances graceful skirt dance or break
