DR., Conan Doyle must have some of the
peculiar aptness OF Sherlock Holmes, the
detective who walks his pages. But, as
The Bookman tells us, he refers his idea
of the character to an old professor of med
icine at the Edinburgh university.
This man would sit in the patients
waiting room, with face like Red In
dian, and diagnose the people as they came
in, even before they had opened their
mouths. He would tell them their symp-
toms and he wonld give them details OF
their lives
'Gentl0men," he would say to the stu
dents standing about, 81 am not quite GER
tain whether this man is a cork cutter or
a slater. | observe a slight oallous or
hardening on one side of his forefnger
and little thickening ON the outside of
his thumb. That is a suro sign that he is
either the one or the other.'
His deductions were very dramatic
"Ah," he would say to another man,
"you are soldier, II noncommissioned
officer, and you have served In Bermuda
Now, gentlemen, how did 1 know thnt?
He came into the room without taking off
his hat, as he would go into an orderly
room. He was a soldier. A slightly au-
thoritative air, combined with his age,
shows that ho was noncommissioned
officer, A rash ON his forehead tolls me
he was In Bermuda and subject to our-
tain rash known only there"

OF A HISTORIC OLD FAMILY.
The Late Mrs. Sarah G. Smith, Who Recently
Died.

Mrs Sarah G. Smith, who died at her
home on Gannett street, Tuesday
night, was one OF the oldest residents
Of Augusta. Her age was 81 years and
s months. On that same day, it will
be remembered, another old lady, Mrs.
Sarah M. Wells. died, at the age of 81
years.
Mrs. Smith was of most benevolent
disposition. and her kindly sunshine
has left many pleasant memories to
her surviving children. and all wn }
knew her. Even to the last. she was
bright and quite active for a woman:
of her years. She lived most happily
with her husband, the late William W.
Smith, who died. two years ago this
April, at the age of SO years He was
well known in the State. He lived his
early life in Portland. his native place.
There he was engaged in business, and
for many years was an official inspect
or of beef. He later moved with his
family to Readheld and thence to Au-
gusta. about 40 years ago, since then
having lived here in retirement up tn
the time OF his death.
Mrs. Smith was Miss Sarah Green
and was born in Portland of fine old
New England descent. Her grand
father was Joshua Bracket, who mar
ried one OF the descendants of the
Cleaves who were among the pioneer
settlers of that section. MIR. Smiths
father. John Kilby Smith, was a
worthy old gentleman. q general on the
staff OF Gen. La Fayette in the Rev
olution. He was born in Boston, and
the family name Kilby is well known
there, Kilby street having been named
from his descendants. Gen. Smith was
a great favorite OF the French general.
On the occasion OF the second visit OF
the latter 10 this country, he found i;
impossible for MIN to arrange to ge.
further east than Portsmouth, N. Fl,
Gen. Smith, on learning of this. rode to
Portsmouth. and, when Gen. La
Fayette heheld him in the crowd, as h..
passed in the procession, he dis
mounted ard, so glad was he to see
his old friend again, that ne threw his
arms about his neck and kissed him.

Whether it was this or not that
aroused in them Such sociable dispo-
sitions, no one can say. However, i.
is remarkable fact that, during thei'
lcng life together, the couple passed
only one night without having some
che of the family. or some company
about their home. There We're times
when either one or the other were
away. but never to leave the Other
alone.
During their life here, the two Ole

daughters survive them. to revere theil

symptom of some hidden and 1ong-neg-
lected disorder. Most frequently the origi-
nal and exciting trouble is a disordered di-
gestion If that is corrected nature will in
the majority of cases do the rest. It is easy
for man to avoid sickness If he will keep
a watchful eye on his digestion and resort
to the right remedy the moment he feels
himself out of sorts.
All disorders ofthe digestion are corrected
by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
It restores lost appetite, invigorates the
liver, and fills the blood with the life-givirS
elements that build healthy flesh and firm
muscles. 1t is the great blood d-maker, flesh
builder, and nerve tonic. 1t cures 9S per

wasting diseases and nervous troubles.
1t wards off disease of every description.

BY being careful in the way we live and BY using
DR.. Pierces medicines when we don't feel just

A man can't either make money or enjoy

The funeral of the late H. A. jenkins
was held, Wednesday afternoon, at
o'clock. at the residence of his son on
Maple street. 1t was largely attended.
and among the number present were
many from several towns in the
county. the deceased having been a
man widely known. and as widely re-

He was born in Vassalboro in 1922.
He was grandson of Remington
Hobby, a noted Quaker preacher of
that town. He moved to China, early
in life. and there for many years was a
respected citizen. From the age of 25
years, he was an active worker in the
church. With the ministers of his
church he has worked during periods
cf his life in Massachusetts,. North
Carolina, Virginia, and Cape Breton
Island, in the cause he loved.
The floral tributes were numerous
from neighbors and friends, who were
devoted to the cid gentleman; and a
pillow was placed with the remains.

Did you ever think how many people
buy things because they see them in the
windows, and how many people, when
they have concluded to buy certain ar
ticle, walk about from store to store till
they see what they want in a window?
These people, If they don't find it in the
window conclude the merchant hasn't
got it. l know that this is a foolish con-
clusion to come to, but find it hard to
avoid. ] find it hard to buy my hats and
shoes, for instance. in any other manner
than by walking from store to store un-
til see what I want in the window. No
doubt very large slice of the dear pub
,hc goes about the thing in just the way

they see them attractively arranged in
