would make him tired before he be
gan. Little points are picked up here
and there which gradually accumulate
into a good knowledge and better &C
quaintance with many of the Out-Of-
the-way places of the world, which in
these days are always cropping up with
new prominence. These remarks ap-
ply, however, to the true collector, the
man to whom the distinguishing marks
represent something more than value
in dollars and cents. Collecting actu-
ated by the miser's greed puts the
collector on about the same plane as
the rag picker. Reading and study
should always be an accompaniment
of the collectors work, and the rari-
ties of which he gains possessions
should have a value of association and
rather than the value
by what they will bring in
the market.

The discussion in the American
League upon the disposition of the
Government to give out work to it's
enemies in preference to its supporters
needs explanation, and until further facts
are given out we are inclined to the
belief that some of the members of the
League are somewhat off their base.
Possibly the idea originated in award
ing public work to men who presented
the lowest bids but whose love for the
Government has not always been most
tender. Yet we know of no way in
which officials honest in their dealings
could do otherwise. In fact, should a
bid be thrown out on account of the
political opinions of the man who Of
fers TO do the work, the Government
would be open to the charge of wasting
public money.

THE COLLECTOR

The common every day horny-hand-
ed son of toll and thefintensely prac-
tical business man is Inclined to look
upon the collector as species OF man
kind who is oftentimes a bore and who
could be done away with and the world
lose uothing thereby: %As Hawaii, is
sort Of a collectors paradise it is hard
ly wise to express such opinions in
this country, and in fact we are of the
opinion that the intensely practical
being is far from right in his criticism
of the collector who occupies his spare
time and possibly spare cash in chas-
ing after bugs, gathering peculiar and
rare flowers, and searching for postage
stamps and coins of ancient and mo-
dern date.
In the recent number of the Book
Review E. B. Titcherner makes plea
for the collector in which he tells his
feIIowcraftsmen that they have rea-
son to feel they are indeed little above
the individual who pegs along in the
routine paths and finds no pleasant
side line with which to increase his
fund of information and give his nina
recreation from the usual grind OF
business or professional life. he De
Iieves that a hobby is good thing
since it is always interesting and
comes in to fill up the gap when all
other affairs seem through constant
and unrelenting application, to have
dropped below the level of being worth
the struggle. Besides this it is sug-
gested that the collector is kept out OF
mischief and with the youth especially
he has less money for deleterious
gums drops, gun powder, cigars and
ruby-hearted wine.
His best argument for the youth,
however is found in the methodIcal
care which the collector must exercise
whatever branch he may take up. AS
MIR. Titcherner says, the collector lis
accustomed to handle beautiful and
fragile things; he knows how to
arrange them duly and in order; he
may be trusted by his fellow. He does
not seize a rare copper between two
perspiring fingers, or plant heavy
thumb in the lower right-hand corner
of a rare print. Careful and systema-
tic in one matter, he is appreciate OF
care and system in all; and though he
may think his majolica stands as high
above your air-blown caterpillars as
Ossa stands above the sea, he will do
those delicate larvae no injury by
reckless jar or inquisitive touch.
Then again the collector obtains
fund of information regarding subjects
which he would not, under ordinary
take the trouble to in
quire into Even the collector of post
age stamps can gain any amount of
curious and interesting information in
political history and geography which
if he undertook to follow up in books

national sanitarium idea, which is by
no means a bad one. II is rather I'M
usual for the Government to go into

ought to be some place outside the
police station and the insane hospital

a wild form of nervous disease.

encaSed himself comfortably
in one of our Alaska Ice
Chests, and slowed his grub
away in one of our Alaska
RefrigeratOrS. of which we
have sizes and prices to suit
either Jack or his wife Jill.
Instead of a gripsack, Jack
carried a Gem Ice Cream
Freezer, and as fast as he
twirled the freezer the ice
cream began to heap up
around him so that he had
to empty it into one of our
Painted Iron Bath Tubs.
which suited the spectators
to a T; for they all helped to
eat up the ice cream, and
then bought all the bath tubs
before we could get them to
the store. Never mind! We
can get more of them, if you
want one.

Houdlette's men to SWab
him down every morning
and he enjoyed the stream

Perhaps there is no man in Maine not
connected with public political life who
Is SO thoroughly known among all classes
OF people as DR.. John f. True. This fac t
is due to two causes either one of which
would be sufficient to account for his
wide publicity and popularity. In the
first Place he is the greatest advertiser in
peoially popular with newspaper men.
Again, he is the disooverer of remedy
that has brought joy and sunshine into
thousands Of homes where he is now held
in grateful remem brance To our own
readers he is specially familiar, and we
have no doubt that one and all of them
will be delighted to know something
about the personality of this remarkable
man. DR.. True was born in Deerfeld,
N. H., in 1917. His early advantages for
education were limited, but his persist
ence and energy in overcoming this dis
advantage knew no bounds. While other
boys more favored by forum were at
play, or idling away their time, the hero
of our sketch was working by day and
porting over. the midnight oil by night
His great love was for botany and natu-
raj history, and in both of these branches
he became thoroughly proficient. In
fact, it is extremely doubtful if there is
another man in New England today so
we'll versed on these subjects. Failing
health led him to the study of parasites
and tape worms in the human system,
and finally to the discovery of t he Elixir
that has made his name household
word. In 1851 he began business In a
small way. AS business gradually in
creased he took horse and carriage
From these small beginnings the business
steadily grew until 1t has at last as.
sumed its present gigantic proportions.
In 1891 DR.. True took into partnership
his son, Mr.. Edward c. True young
man of splendid business capacity and
Astounding energy. Since then the bust
ness has grownAwith wonderful rapidity.
The manufacture of this old standard
family remedy was begun nearly a half
century ago and the demand for it has
until In 1875 there.were
sold nearly 40, 600 bottles. These figures
speak volumes fur the efficacy of theElix-
1t In curing diseases of children, and of
the faith that the mothers of America
have in it.
Inside the laboratory everything Is the
very perfection of neatnesss.
None but the very best of botanic reme-
oles are used, and their preparation is
under the most watohful care. In his
personality DR.. True Ia one Of the most
oharm1ng of men. He has rare and
genial nautre that casts sunshine and
Joy wherever he goes II is safe to say
there Is no more popular man in our oity
thsn ne. Although seventy eight years
oia ne Is as fresh and vigorou as most
lnen are az sixty. He is an early riser
ana steady and industrious worker
ne Is often seen on our streets where
ne always has a hearty hand hake ard a
ohesry word for nearly every one he
meets. Everybody knows him and
every body likes him Viewed in any and
every nght ne is the most remarkable
day for Auburn when he ia called to ioin
the great MISUNDERSTANDING Populist.
