81 have never had a days slok-
ness In my life" said a middle-aged
man the other day.
What a comfort it would be-"
sighs some poor invalid, "to be In
his place for year or two" Yet
half of the invalids we see might
be Just as healthy as he, If they
would only take proper care OF
themselves, eat proper food-and
digest 1t.
It's so strange that such simple
things are overlooked by those who
want health.
Food makes health.
1t makes strength-and strength
wards off sickness. The man who
had never been sick was strong be-
cause he always dlgested his food,
and you could become the same by
helping your stomach to work as
well as his.

healthy by making the food you
eat make you fat.

Court Convenes at Ellsworth.

Winthrop. April 14.-(SpeciAn.-- The
somewhat celebrated case Of the cred
itors of the firm of Webb & Briggs,
against Joseph Z. Briggs, is now said
TO be virtually settled. Briggs. some
months ago, offered to take the entire
business on his hands. and pay II per
cent. out of the assets, the liabilities
being about $1,000 Symonds, Snow &
Cook, attorneys for the creditors have
now concluded to accept II per cent.
and the affair may probably now be
considered as settled.
At the time of the failure the affair
was largely exploited in the papers,
and sensational rurlors as to fraud,
etc. were circulated, but this talk mas
long since subsidized. and when the
Portland creditors came to understand
the character and motives of Mr.
Briggs. whose only object now APP
pears to have been to help young
Webb and Briggs out of difficult
place, they were rot anxious to push
the matter to trial. Governor CicaNas
has acted as counsel for MIR. Briggs.

ICE AND LUMBER.
Nothing but Brisk Demand Will Prevent
Dull Times On the Penohscot.

Bangor. April li.-Nothing but a
brisk demand for ice can prevent dull
times on the Penobscot, during the first
two months of the shipping season, for
even if the lumber market should i'm
prove, as now seems likely, the Bangor
millmen will not be in position to
profit by the higher prices-they won't
have any lumber to sell, or at least. not
much.
The stock OF logs carried over for
spring saving on this river is usually
about 40 900, GOO feet. but this season it is
only $1,000, ooo which is not enough to
carry the mills along until the first
drives get in. Consequently the big
mills will not start until the middle OF
May. although some pine ana hemlocE
will be sawed earlier.
The log cut on the Penobscot this
year is about $50 900. 600 feet. of which
probably 100000, 600 will set into the
drives, the remainder left in the yards
on account of hard hauling.
\ few logs have been sold thus early
at SEQ for large spruce. These logs
will not reach the boom until late in
July or early in August.
If the ice trade should be brisk this
year 1t would be IL great help to Bangor
for there is enough ice here to load SOC
moderate sized vessels or $50 big ones
Some contracts have already beer
made at 20 cents a ton. but most of the
companies are holding out for 80 to &c
cents.
Freights to Baltimore. Philadelphia
and Washington will probably open at
30 cents, although higher rates are eN-
pected soon.

hours.
Although she run under a natural

CUT A WIDE SWATH.
Career OF Bangor Man Who Stole Money
from His Employer Ended.

Lewiston. April IA special to the
Journal from Bangor tells of the dongs
of 1 Bangor clerk as follows:
There has come to light II this city
within a few days. the story OF a remark
able case of systematic robbery by a
clerk of his employers. of the detection
of the thief. his confession. disgrace and
all the humliating story. This now prac-
ideally ruined man WAS once in business
for himself but for some rsason he did
not succeed and of late years he has
been employed as salesman in Il grocery
store He was supposed to be honest. if
he was not successful in business and
ne received a good salary.
The first proprietor of the grocery had
been long in the business and knew all
about ii. but somehow or other he did not
succeed very well. and last year he sold
out and moved away. He never seemed
to suspect that his clerk was in any way
responsible for his failure. The new pro-
prietor retained the clerk and the bust
ness was continued at the old stand
But the new proprietor was Il sharp
man. lie didn't need to have Il house
fan on him before he realized that some
thing was wrong, and SO when he dis
covered that his business was paying no
profits. he concluded that there was big
leak somewhere. and set about to tlind it.
He was not long in discovering through
systematic inquiry and close watch upon
the clerk. where the leak was. The clerk
WAS robbing him by the wholesale.
1t was discovered that the clerk. al
though married with grown-up children
was intimate with at least two disreputa-
bic women. and that he was practically
supplying them out of the store. on all
kinks of groceries. even to Strawberries
at - cents a box. When an avalanche
of cviduee had been secured. the thief
was accused. and given the choce of set
Ting mp or going to prison. He settled,
and ii is said that he paid 400 and gave a
new buggy to square up. There will be
no prosecution but the clerk $ career i'll
