NAVIGATING A COW.
A Cape Cod Captains Way cf Keeping
Her ON the Desired Course.


a writer In the outlook tells the fol.
lowing: When , was down on Cape
Cod last summer I heard an amusing
story about an old sea captain and his
cow. Capt. Patterson. after sailing the
sea for more than forty years. finally
retired to little farm near Barnstablc.
where he settled down. with horse.
COW and two or three dozen hens. Ills
COW. though n lank and rather stubborn
creature. was said TO come from very
good stock. and when the Barnstable
people took 1t into their heads to have
n fair Capt. Patterson determined to
exhibit his COW.
But when the day came for driving
her. to the grounds the COW showed
that she had mind Of her own. and
would not bulge a step beyond the gate.
In vain the old captain tuggcd ut the
rope. pummcled her sides and pushed
her TANKS.
Capt. Patterson's patience was very
nearly gone. when suddenly an Idea
occurred to him. Though he was not
strong enough himself to force the COW
to go to the fair. his training suggested
something that was. Tying the COW
to the gatc-post. he went up into the
loft Of his barn and threw down an old
sail stepped TO dory mast. Then h,
put a horses blanket belt through au

Freedom Academy.

This well known institution of learning.
after having been closed for some years,
will be re-opened March LIST with W. W.
Rich of Southwest Harbor as its Principal.
This will enable many people in the
northern part of the county to fit theil
children for college, who would not be
able to send them away to other schools.
The re-opening of this school is the result
of the untiring efforts of DIR. A. j. Bill
ings, who was in the last Senate from
Waldo county, and who succeeded in get
ting an appropriation of 81, 900 from the
State. The building has been thorough
ly renovated and refitted throughout, and
is in first class shape for the reception OF
students. The citizens of the town have
shown their interest in the matter by
opening their houses to the students at
very low rate of board. 1t is probable
that when the school opens there will be a
large attendance.

good Judge of what is reasonable com
mand.
There is also a tendency on the part of
some to condemn the teacher unheard
Rumor is seldom more thanss, lone tenth
truth-oft On less than that-and no pa
rent should condemn the work of the
teacher until after they have learned all
the evidence on both sides. Most children
mean to be truthful and it is natural for
the parent to believe their word. But it
should be remembered that they view
school life from their side alone and are
not competent to decide the many ques-
tons that confront the teacher. The
simple fact that a child doessnot like a
teacher is no proof of the teachers unfit
ness. 1t may be proof of the childs own
defects. AS a matter of fact, the teacher
that the scholar does not like may be Just
the one that the good of the child de-
mands.
The majority of men and women be-
lieve in honest and honorable work that
is fearless and impartial. Yet, it is true
in all places that the bad element is the
active one. A few active bad men can do
much harm if allowed their way For
this reason, the people who know right
and believe in it should stay up the hands
OF those who, as teachers and officers, are
trying to make our schools practical in
their work
a thorough knowledge of the studies
pertaining to the public schools and some
experience in school management, leads
me to believe that the common AID high
school courses of the State need some
radical changes. But that is the duty OF
the State and does not enter here With
all due respect for the opinions of others,

needed at the present time.

The most remarkable thing about Mrs.
Nellie ]. Lord, Of Stafford Corner, N. H..
is that she is alive to-day.
No one, perhaps, is more surprised at
this than Mrs. Lord herself. She looks back
at the day when she stood on the verge Of
death and shudders. She looks ahead at a
Life Of happiness with her children, her hus
band and her home with a Joy that only
mother can realize.
Mrs. Lord is the mother of three children,
two OF whom are twins; until the twins
came nothing marred the JOY of her life.
Then she was attacked with heart failure
and for year was unable to attend to the
ordinary duties Of the home. In describing
her own experience Mrs. Lord says:
II had heart failure so bad | vas often
thought to be dead.
with this | had neuralgia of the stom-
ach so bad it was necessary to give me
morphine to deaden the pain.
Sometimes the doctors gave me tenn
porary relief, but in the end it seemed as if
my suffering was multiplied.
Medicine did me no good and was but
an aggravation.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale P.ople
have cured many cases Of almost similar
nature
The vital elements in Mrs. Lords blood
were deficient. The haemos1obin was ex-
hausted. She was unfit for the strain she
was compelled TO undergo. Her nervous
system was shattered and her vitality
dropped below the danger point.
A collapse was inevitable.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured her BY
supplying the lacking constituents of health
by filling the veins with blood rich in the
requisite element Of life. The heart re-
sumed its normal action; the nervous sys-
tenn was restored to state of harmony,
and the neuralgia affection disappeared.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
druggists everywhere, who believe them
to be one Of the most efficacious medicines
the century has produced.
