AN EVERYDAY HEROINE.
The Country Maiden, the Wicked Stag
Company and the Tailor Made Girl.

The Country Maiden, the Wicked Stage
Company and the Tailor Made Girl.
-Four reckless persons had clambered
into the stage, ali cd man, a middle
aged woman, young man and tailor
made girl At Fittieth street a dress
makers little girl struggled in with a
huge box. Town life was evidently new
to her Her rosy cheeks announced
country air to the least observing She
held her money in her hand
Looking obviously about, she finally
spied the money box and dropped in the
coin After this she waited expectantly
Nothing occurred however, and she
began flushing and paling with nervous
INDIGESTION At last she resolutely stood
up attracted the driver attention aud
called to him:
How do | get my change? | put a
quarter in the box, she asked
"Yese oughter a-handed it up, E" said
the man "Yese cant git it now -
but it's all | have, protested the
girl,
Cit it off the new passengers, yell
ed the driver and turned away.
1t was all the money she had. but
how could she "get it off the new pas
sengers?" Every one in the stage had
become interested, but no one volun-
teered any advice Two tears rolled
down the rosy cheeks
The stage stopped, and an old lady
scrambled in AS she took out her mon
ey, cent piece, the tailor made girl
leaned over to her
will you give me that for this little
girl?'' she asked. "She dropped in a
quarter by mistake, and the driver said
the new passengers might make it up to
her "
The old lady beamingly handed over
the nickel She felt that the stage com
pany was being rigidly but justly dealt
with at last
Then man got in This was harder
for the tailor made girl, but she made
the request again and handed second
fare to the grateful young person from
the country The whole stageful was
now interested watching for new pas
senger as a spider watches for fly. A
woman waved desperately from down a
side street for the stage to wait for her,
but the driver passed on unheeding and
EXPLANATIONS of disgust arose Another
corner, and another smartly dressed girl
got in The new arrival did not seem at
first to understand the request, and
flushing. the tailor made girl repeated
it and secured one more of the precious
cent pieces
The little girl had reached her desti
nation.
Il am SO much obliged. she murmur-
ed to the heroic maiden who had been
taking up fares IN her behalf Il ought
to get out here, so guess I'll let the
other go.
No, no, you must not, said the fair
conductor, opening her purse Take
this and | can get it from the next one
who gets IN
You are awfully good, murmured
the unsusplelous little one with new
tears in her Eyes, and one of the men
took the big box and handed ii down to
her when SHE had stepped out
The stage ratified on and the tailor
made girl looked unconcernedly out of
the window The next passenger was
allowed to drop his fare unmolested
into the box, unconscious of the little
comedy that had brought the others to-
gether in common interest for a mo
ment, and the stage company was still
ahead of the game New York Sun

NOTICE.

Notice is hereby given to all persons and
parties interested, that quantity of spruce,
pine, fir and cedar logs, containing about
eighty-seven thousand feet, then lying on
land supposed to be owned by Dudley Roll
Inns, in Carritunk in Somerset County, and
being on and near the east banks Of the
Kennebec River, said logs being unmarked
on the SYST day of May A. D. 1897, at one
O'Clock in the afternoon, were duly attached
on writ in favor of Samuel S. Gates Of Car.
ritunk, Somerset County, for the sum Of Fifty
seven dollars, and against Mark b, Bean o,
Bingham in Somerset County, and the logs
aforesaid were attached on said writ in order
to enforce and secure the said plaintiffs lien
thereon for his personal labor in cutting said
logs in the numbering season of 1907, and
said action was made returnable to the SUI
preme Judicial Court then next to be holden
at Skowhegan within and for the County oil
Somerset on the third Tuesday of September
A. d. 1897, and was duly entered in said

he told me l had cancer, / became
alarmed and fastened to obtain treat
ment for knew how dangerous cancer
was.
az received the best medical atten-
lion, but the cancer continued to
grow worse until the physicians
finally said that I would have TO
have an operation performed, as that
was the only hope for me. This re-
fused to submit to, as knew cancer was
blood disease, and my common sense
told me that it was folly to expect an
operation to cure a blood disease.
knowing S. S. S. to be good blood
remedy decided to try it, and the first
bottle produced an Improvement. I
continued the medicine, and in four
months the last scab dropped off. Ten
years have elapsed, and not a sign OF
the disease has returned"
The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a strong sentiment against
such methods of treatment is fast de-
veloping among the most intelligent
classes. 1t seems that in almost every
case where the doctors treatment is
unsuccessful, the learned physicians de-
eide at once that an operation must be
performed, and the keen blade Of the
surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
The many caustic piasters which are
applied to remove cancers are more pain
full than death, and the danger of sur
gical operation is as great as the disease
itself. No plaster or surgical oper-
alton can cure cancer, because it is
blood disease; the destructive cancer
cells are in the blood, and cannot be
cut out, or removed by local treatment
AS the disease must be forced from the
blood, it is only reasonable to rely upon
a real blood remedy for a cure, one
which goes direct to the cause of the
trouble and removes it.
S. S. S. (Swift's Speci6c) is the only
known cure for cancer and other obsti-
nate and deep-seated blood diseases such
as Scrofula, Eczema, Catarrh, Rheuma-
tism and CONTAGIOUS Blood Poison, tits

Unfulfilled Promises.

In the spring of 1895 we called the at
tention of Chairman Danforth of the
Board of Selectmen, to the want of about
three rods of sidewalk on West Front
street He acknowledged that it was
necessary aud he would see that it should
be done, but the season passed and no
walk was built Again in the spring of
1896 we applied to Chairman Emery of
the Board, who made similar promise
and also to Street Commissioner Gilman,
who said that it should be built. But as
before it is not done. Again last spring
OS97) the same chairman assured Us
that it should be built this summer, but
the season has so far advanced that we
see no prospect of its being done. 1t Is
possible that the financial condition OF
the town for the past three years would
not admit the expenditure Of the amount
necessary for that purpose. II so We
would suggest that the selectmen insert
an article in the warrant for the next
annual meeting for special appropria
ton of $40, which We think would more
than cover the cost with the provision
that the uneXpended balance should be
covered back into the treasury. II this
were doue we should have some hope
that we should get our sidewalk, other
wise our case is hopeless. To use tn,
language of an old politician, "our suf
fering is intolerable.'

The real home Of the peacock or pea
fowl is in India. There they were and
are hunted, and their flesh is used for
food. AS these birds live in the same
region as the tiger, peacock hunting is a
very dangerous sport. The long train of
the peacock is not its tail, as many
suppose, but is composed of feathers
which grow out just above the tail and
are called the tail coverts. Peacocks
have been known for many hundred
years. They are mentioned in the Bible.
Job mentions them, and they are men
toned, too, in Kings K. Hundreds of
years ago In Rome many thousand pea
cocks were killed for the great feasts
which the emperor made. The brains
of the peacock were considered a great
treat, and many had to be killed for q
single feast.

A Fine Concert.

1t is hardly necessary to say that so
fine concert as the one given In Coburn
hall. Monday evening last, is rare
event in Skowhegan. In fact, ordinarily,
one must 60 to large cities which are
musical centers in order to listen to such
artists as Mrs. Helen Brown Haynes, Miss
Elise Fellows, Mrs. Emma Hanson Bart
mess and Mr.. j. C. Bartlett. The pleas
ure of listening was also enhanced by
the feeling of pride which every citizen
has that the three ladies are "Skowhe-
gan girls" while Somerset county can
claim Mr.. Bartlett.
The program rendered was as follows,
a glance at which shows what feast of
good things it contained for music lovers: !:

Mrs. Haines and Miss Fellows.
Naturally much interest was felt in
Mrs. Haynes appearance after her year
of study with one of Paris France,
finest teachers. Even those who have
heard her sing from time to time since
her girlhood and have noted the wonder
full development of her voice, were sur
prised to see what the last year of faith
ful study has accomplished. Her selec-
tions were very difficult and are never
on the list of any but the most accom-
plfshed vocalists. Mrs. Haynes render
=
tory to her many friends and admirers,
and deserving of the hearty commenda-
tion expressed. Her tones have grown
rounder, smoother, and better sustained,
and the fine quality of her voice has
been brought out as never before. 1t is
not strange that her teachers predict for
her brilliant future.
Too much that is good cannot be said
of Miss Fellows violin playing. 1t is
exquisite in every way. Her selections
We're artiStcally rendered and a delight
to all. No wonder that wherever she
plays audiences are enthusiastic in their
appreciation of her efforts.
Mrs. Bartmess played her two dtli-
cult solos with skill and excellent effect,
and also accompanied sympatheticallY.
Hers was no easy task, to say the least.
All who heard her last year were antici-
pating much pleasure from her part of
the program, and it is safe to say that
none were disappointed.
Mr.. Bartlett was heard to great advan.
tage. He sings straight to the heart
and is always a favorite.
The audience was good sized one
and very enthusiastic in its reception of
the artists. Not only were many en-.
cores demanded, but expressions of
appreciation have been heard on all sides
