A Crushing Comparison.

The Diarist in the London Speaker
tells II story about Mr.. Asquith's appren-
ticeship to golf. With characteristic cour-
age he learned the game after he became
home secretary, and at the very Mecca of
golf, st. Andrews itself. Like every other
learner, he was not very expert at the COM
menoement and some local Tory wag made
merry in print over his misses. Shortly
afterward Mr.. Balfour went to ST. Andrews
to play championship match, and great
crowd of spectators gathered on the links
to watch him. Among them was an old
lady whose ardent Radioalism had been
hurt by the chaff of which the Liberal
home secretary had been the subject. With
keen eye she watched the play of the
Tory leader. Suddenly he made distinct
ly bad shot, Instantly raising her voice
to shrill scream, the triumphant defender
of the Radical faith exclaimed, "Why, AS
quith at his worst was better than thatl"
Mr.. Balfour joined as heartily as anybody
in the roars of laughter that followed.

THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC KN0Ngil.
EDGE ON FOGD AND DIGESTION.

TIE real cause OF most OF our diseases is
simply al inability to digest food. This induces
thhneS5, weakness, loss of flesh ANA fat loss OF
vitality, wasting away.
Loss of flesh aud vitality means constant LA
bility to sickness Wasting away is consunp-
ton.
If getting thin is what ails you there is only
one thing to do-get fat. The only way to 10 1t
is to take something which win help your ston-
ach and stimulate it TO do its work.
If you are tired out you do not like to move
your legs or arms. If your stomach is tired it
does not like to digest; it cannot do its work
To eat or even TO eat with relish does not
necessarily mean that one is being nourished.
Strength, vitality and flesh are the true indica-
tons.
Getting thin is a sign that you need the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. You would not be
getting thin if you could digest your food.
The shaker Digestive Cordial not only con-
tains articially digested food, but it will digest
other foods in the stomach.
A siugls 10 cent bottle will show whether or
not it is going to meet the conditions of your
case, and If so, its continued use may be de-
pended on to effect cure. All druggists keep
it in stock.

his hands on the assassin's shoulders, so

gained firm footing. AS quick as

and gave Major Seward several stabs
about the head and shoulders. He bound

senger in the State Department, was run

not over three minutes When the assas-
sin was gone, turned to find Secretary
Seward on the carpet at the farther side
of the bed. His daughter was bending
over him. The Secretary was bleeding
profusely. The pool of blood in which he
lay, the gaping cash in his cheek, the
wound in his neck, and his CHASTITY pale
face, all made dreadful sight. We lifted
the patient to his bed, and found that his
heart still beat, although he seemed to be
pulseless.'

Village Library Association was held re.
Gently. The following officers were chosen
for the ensuing year: President, Mrs.
gusta Davis; secretary, Mrs Hattie J.
Morton: treasurer and librarian. Mrs,
Celestial Plummer.
Raymond Village has long been known
as one of the pleasant and healthy place S
in New England. Located on dry soil,
overlooking Sebago Lake and being sup
piled with the best of water, make it a
favorite place for families from cities to
spend the hot weather of summer. But
traction for summer vacation has not
been generally known until recently.
1t seems that few people who
enjoy good fishing have been going
there for years and making splen-
did catches of trout, black bass
pickerel and fine fresh water smelts (many
of the latter weighing half pound or
more). Instead of boasting of their sue
cess and telling good fish stories, they
good thing for themselves. This season
has brought fishermen as boarders. They
are making fine catches. F. r. Dooley
and W. M. Mitchell of the Union Mutual
Life Insurance company with their wives
while boarding at "The Elms', n new
first class family boarding house which
has been recently opened in the pleasant
est part OF the village, caught thirty five
black bass SIN IN less es than two days which
The largest weighing four and one-haif
pounds was caught by one of the ladies
Another guest caught one hundred river
trout in day, two others thirtv-fiya
trout and sixteen pickerel. In fact ali
are making good catches and think there ore
is no place like Raymond for summer
outing.

sTANDIsH.
To the Editor of the Press:

Standish, August 2.-In behalf of the
Congregational church of this place, I
wish to rectify some statements made in
the PRESS. Your correspondent says
that at recent meeting of the church it
was thought best not to have services in
the churchssafter September T. The church
or committee have not taken steps
toward hiring another pastor as Mr.
Multart's time has not as yet expired and
we have too much respect for him to be
in haste to select another to take his
place. If the Lake church had decided to
close the church we should have been
notified of the fact as we hire our pastor
together.
Your correspondent also says there has
been a great deal of i'll feeling between
the two churches. If any i'll feelings do
exist it is not between the churches but
the people and / have no reason to think
there is or has been any Ill feeling be-
tween the churches or people.
The. church atsthe Lake deserve much
credit for their efforts in supporting a
pastor. They are few in number and like
our church are largely dependent on the
encouragement and generosity of the
people outside the church.
i Both MIR. and Mrs. Multart have worked
hard and faithfully for both churches.
The work has been too hard for any pas.
tor to do, with SO little help, there being
few male members. -
