A SELLER OF FAKE HEIRLOOMS.

The peasant then told how he found
the papers, and the captain of the troop
related the facts of Delaigne's capture.
Senior de Cardenas, testifying with
some appearance of regret, substanti-
ated the story of Colonel Mendez, but
added nothing to it. 1t was then Lou

There was a whispered consultation

TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES.
No theatrical event of this season will
attract more local attention than the
coming of Mrs. Fiske in 'sTess of the
D'Urbervilles. This actress last season
won the greatest honors of her career in
the intensely human and profoundly
tragic role of this Hardy heroine. New
York, which had grudgingly accorded
Mrs. Fiske praise for her acting in other
parts in which other cities had accepted
her as genius, all at once discovered
that she was great artistic, and waxed
as enthusiastic over her "Tess' as, 1t had
over the greatest manifestations Of Duse.
The metropolitan press never before, in
fact. showed such unanimity OF opinion
as to the work of player, and the then
tire public of New York discussed Mrs.
Fiske's acting on every occasion not the-
atric, while 1t thronged the Fifth Ave
nue. Theatre for months to applaud her.

cHILDREN's FOOD.

Study VIII Not Hurt a Healthy Child.
"Many children at school," said stu
lent of children, ''appear to be stupid
when they are only badly nourished.
Vhey may have plenty to eat without q
ufficient amount of nourishment. Study
will not hurt healthy child Good,
hard thinking helps the circulation OF
the blood. !"
It might be added that the lack OF
nourishment is owing to ill-advised selec-
lion ofifood. Fruit, eggs, some meat and
rood entire wheat bread with butter, all
furnish excellent food for children.
Never, under any circumstances, should
they be allowed to have coffee. All mar
Dotics, like cigarettes or tobacco In any
form, coffee, opium products, or any Of
that class Of drugs, will most sadly seal
the whole life of growing child. Those
who seek to assist the little ones to grow
up strong and healthy men and women
will look carefully after their food and
drink.
1t is unfortunately true that some par.
ents are careless and ignorant on this
subject, and the innocent children grow
mp weak in body and brain, easily
nocked OVER by most any disease that
comes along. Children like a warm
nourishing drink for breakfast, and al
most universally like Postum Food
Coffee, upon which they fatten and four

De boiled full 10 minutes after boiling
commences. 1t is not sufficient that it

must boil that length of time.
The long boiling is necessary to bring

A despatch from New York, Gays: Nine.
Nordicashas been standing on her dignity
again. A short time ago the press told
how the prima donna had grievously
wounded the feelings of the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra by likening them to a
Kalamazoo band, and now she has tiff
with the New York Philharmonic society.
AS to this latter affair it Is question
which has the better of it-Mme. Nordioa
or the Philharmonic society.
Mr.. R. e. johnson. the music agent,
who had to retire from business recently
on account Of illness, looked after Mime.
Nordica's interests early this season, and
itsswas he who agreed to turnishH her to
singsat the Philharmonic concert this
month. When Mr.. Johnston retired a
question arose as to whether Nine.
Nordica had to fulfill the contract.
The prima donna raised her price to
$500 to sing at the concert and OF the
public rehearsal the day before. She ought
to have $1,000 on each occasion, she said,
but she'd knock off the $500. The Phil
harmonic society couldn't see it in that
light. though. They had contracted with
Mr.. Johnston for several soloists at a GER
tain price for the lot, as 1t were, and
we'll, rather than disappoint their patrons
they'd give her $1,000. No, Nine. Nordica
had named her price-$1500; 1t must be
that or nothing.
So the Philharmonic society decided it
should be nothing and engaged Miss
Maud Powell as the soloist at their next
concert
And Nine. Nordioa? Well, she's out
$1,000. But what of that? She maintained
her dignity

A FAIR AT RIGBY.
The Fourth Week in August Selected as
the Time.

The executive committee of the Maine
Mile Track Association held meeting
yesterday and voted to hold two stake
meetings, the first to be from August l
to August 6, and the second from Sep
TENDER 10 to September II. The dates
for the fair were fixed as August 1926
There will be fair at Rigby this year in
any event 1t is hoped that the New
England Fair will be again held here,
but If not the management will get up a
fair of their own, to be called the Rigby
Fair, and to be open to the United States
and Canada The question of the loca-
tion Of the New England Fair will prob
ably be decided in week or so. In adj
dition to the meetings mentioned there is
q probability that a meeting for Maine

1t is surprising how easy it is
for a man who wants a "drink" to
find an excuse for taking one. II
the weather is cold he drinks ito
warm up; if it is hot, he wants
to cool OFF,; if it is wet he "takes a
wee drop to prevent taking cold";;
if it is dry he must wash the dust
out of his throat; if he is tired
he stakes q drink to brace up; If
he is rested, he "needs stimals-
ton to work." and starts off on q
mint julep or colored lemonade;
if he is sad he "tries a drink to
cheer him.; if he is with a friend
he drinks '.just to be sociable"; II
he is alone he "wants to avoid
loneliness and the blues; if he is
happy he drinks from JOY and ez-
uberance of spirits; if he is sick
he wants to get well"; IL he is
we'll he sis in condition to ENJOY
it." And so every condition Of
life seems, to invite q man to
drink, and it is no wonder, with
the weakness Of human nature ia
man, how many are who yield to
temptation. They seem to regard
intoxication as shfceAse Of lille
and an enhancement of all joys.
They do not stop and "think OF
their heads in the morning" and
that the stimulation is only q
temporary delight, unsatisfyihg
