TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS.

We are sorry, but we must rennnd our correspondents that they must get thelr letters in by Tuesday morning or we will be forced to leave them out. One letter or even two late we are generally able to take care of, but when they all come in bunch late Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning it is altogether too large load for the camel's back. If the correspondents would put them selves in the place of the compositors they would realize what it means when such lot of copy comes in so late. They have to work sometimes from a. m. to 10 and Il p. m. to get the paper ready for press. We hope therefore that our correspondents will try and help us as much as possible.

On Monday at Santiago the American troops steadily advanced all day, and in several Spanish ditches dummy wood en guns were found but no soldiers. It would seem that the Spaniards have learned a Yankee trick, for during the Revolutionary war the Yankees fre- quently fooled the British by means of wooden guns. Well. honors are easy at Santiago. Admiral Cervera found that Commodore Schley does not use wooden guns, but General Shafter has found out that General Toral does use them,

WOman'a Voice.

In arguing the point, giving instruo- tions to her better half, teaching the young idea how to shoot, asserting her rights, retailing gossip, saying goodby and negotiating bargains it has been calculated that a woman's tongue tra- vels o.643, 450 yards IS inches in the course of an ordinary lifetime of three score years and ten.
 These figures are something appalling and will be apt to make the ordinary young man hesitate before entering the holy bonds of matrimony.

FLAGGED IN TIME.

Flagman Thos. McVeigh, of Manches-

 What Might Have Been Catastro-
 trophe.
 Time and again the good people of Manchester have been warned about the ingoing and outgoing of trains, on more than one level crossing of the N. Y. t N. E R. R. during the many years that MT McVeigh has carried a danger flag for the said company. Any pedestrian who wrs rash enough to ig- nore the watchman's signals, either met with an accident or we3 so badly scared that the son taught made an impress ion for life. Perhaps from being too long accustomed to seeing his fellow citizens obeying his instructions, Mir McVeigh WI quicker to respond to the warning given to him by that inward monitor which never chides without cause. Be that as it may. one thing is certain, if he had not needed the eau tion he would have still been sufferer, and we may safely say he would con- tinue to suffer. But Doan's Kidney Pills are never appealed to in vain; .he sequel of Mir McVeigh's experience proves this. He says: II think 1t was four or five years that my back pained me and l had soreness across my kid. neys which came on in spells and was very painful. Sharp stitches caught me in the back at times and then again it would be dull gnswing aching which clung right to me. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and was induced to procure box at a drug store. I soon found they were helping me and finally the lsmeness, aching and other symptoms entirely disappeared. I have felt we'll ever since taking them. Deans Kidney Pills are fine remedy for kidney troubles and l cau highly recommend them.

Andover,. Indian Ridge Is Safe.

Not Andover alone, but the country at large-yes, and students of geology the world over-are to be congratulated on the saving of Indian ridge, its rock and its trees, from an invasion with spade and ax, says the Boston Tran script. It was the sentiment of woman kind that brought this to pass, and the names of the four women of Andover who have so earnestly, energetically and systematically worked for this end for 90 long time are Alice Buck, Salome J. Marland, Susan M. Blake and Emma J. Lincoln. The owners of the ridge, five heirs to an estate, proved them selves to be equally public spirited by their united action in reducing their price set upon the tract from $4, 900 to $8, 8,5OO.
 Indian ridge will henceforth remain as beautiful park for the town, as an inspiration for its people and for every visitor to its great pine woods. as liv- ing chapter in the geological history of the continent, for nowhere in the land can the phenomena caused by the an- cient ice drift be so conveniently studied as here, and these 23 acres just pur- chased. together with an adjoining tract of nine acres previously owned by the town, will stand for what can be ac- oomplished in this country with self sustaining communal woodland.
