A Rhyme of Maine -.

An address by Mr.. I C. Porter of Boston
before the Sons and Daughters of Maine il
South birmingham, Mass, in 1895.
We give the ladies fair and bright
a cordial welcome here tonight
For when they come they bring the men,
And We hope to See them all again,
To show the world that it Is pain
We all are proud to hail from Maine
Go where you will you're sure to see
Something that's made from Maine pin,
tree.
In making of spools, We're III the lurch,
If it We're not for Name white birch
In making paper it's no use,
Unless from Maine you get her spruce.
In summertime you ind 1T nice
To cool your water with Maine ice.
Tney ship off lots of skeeS aud boats,
Also potatoes, best of roots,
But her main choice has always been
To send off celebrated men;
And women, too, for it IS plain,
They raise the best ones down in Maine
When in the summertime you roast,
You start at once for Names sea-coast
If medicine you need for pam,
You find all kinds in Belfast, Maine.
At Christmas time your house you deck,
With evergreen from kennebec.
In building houses, when it's time,
You send to Rockla for the lime.
In the warm weather 1OlkS are seen
Going by hundreds to Castlne.
Many there are to Camden bound,
Good boats and fishing there are found.
Don't buy sardines from France or Spain,
Plenty there are at Eastport, Maine.
Though herring in Old time we'd call EN-,
We did not think i'll oil to boil EN-.
You want ship, It's very plain
You'll IL get the best one down in Maine.
OF wooden ships if you re afraid
In Rath VOu'I good Stee ones made.
When the good ship sails off 50 fast
Your faith rests on the good main-mast,
And when it gets to blowing nard
You all teel safe with her in-yard;
And when the wiud gets up gale
You reef her down to her main-sal.
If rougher sea they chance to meet
They take pull on her main sheet.
Safely arriy ed in port at length,
They haul in dock by their main strength.
When pine cargo they will catch,
They put it in at the main hatch.
And 80 you see, It's quite in vain
To make or sail ships without Maine,
Another thing l wish to state,
We can supply the world with slate
By the geo!ogists we are told
Our granite rocks are full of gold,
And silver, too, but let that pass,
WeIknow that we have lots of brass;
Or if it's diamonds that you prize,
You'll find them in our ladies eyes.
Though sugar we don't cali Names staple
We get the best from our rock maple.
I'm sure that no one can complain
OF any thing that comes from Maine.
We all are ready to declare
Her men are brave, her women fair,
And | viii close my verses plain
With blessing on our dear ola Maine.

Serene comfort and happiness in a6

Serene comfort and happiness in ad-
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all com
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly com
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills Here
is a letter from Mrs J. c. Orms, of 22O
Horner St, Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. l
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
anu llOl udSllCS. IttU anu udutlS were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb
Since taking your remedies I am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. l can eat and
sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh.
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles."
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham. and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred Thousand ailing
women during a single year.

Good Country Roads.


With Proper Drainage Goods Roads are
Easily Maintained.
"The great secret of success in road
making and road keeping is to drain the
roads, and keep the roads drained by
keeping the bitches open, writes John
GIlmer Speed on GLOW to Have Good
Country Roads," in the August Ladies'
Home Journal. "The old method was to
run a pillow through the side bitches and
throw the disturbed soil, sod and all, in
the middle of the road. There it would
stay till heavy rain came to wash this
soil back into the bitches and fill them up
again. If there We're money enough this
kind of a thing would be done over and
over again, as often as four times in a
year Where there were wet spots broken
stone or gravel would be placed in the
road and left for the passing wagons to
wear this metal into ruts. The money
spent was absolutely thrown away.
''By the new process all the road mend
Ell needs to do is to provide bitches and
outlets for them, and then so shape the
road that the water falling in rainstorm
will run off at once into the bitches. The
water must not be suffered to run in the
road. The rainfall, being thus simply and
effectively disposed of, becomes a most
beneficial instead of destructive agent
it cleans and shapes and hardens the road
way, instead of washing it away and deep
ening the ruts When there are wet places,
such as springs, in the roadway, gravel and
broken stone will not cure such things.
The water must be drained off underneath
the roadway and into the bitches by means
of pipe or blind drains. The whole thing
IS SO simple that any one can easily master
the principles and put the details into
practical operation"
