was treated for month by her family

her she was hopeless victim OF con-
sumption and that no medicine could
cure her. Her druggist suggested DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption;
she bought a bottle and to her delight
found herself benefited from first dose.
She continued its use and after taking
six bottles. found herself sound and

To the unthinking mind the
word politician suggests name
and calling which requires but
little qualification aside from CAB
and gall. A closer study of the
man dispells the illusion. Poll
tics is the "science of govern
nlent," and is so defined by Web
ster. A politician is a leader of
men and his influence in the af-
fairs of city, state and nation IS
limited only by his integrity,
ability and capacity. He who is
chosen from among the people to
be their representative, senator or
executive, as the case may be,
should be the one best versed in
politics and statecraft; one school
ed in the science of govern
ment;" one who has trod the
decks of the ship of state from
stoker to pilot. Such an one is

The assets are much larger than
the liabilities; schedule Of both

his trouble, as all creditors want

was not prepared to meet the de-
mand. He expects to be open
for business in his own name in a
week or ten days.

Sunday Services

The day was a beautiful one
and the attendance at all the
churches was large.
Rev. w. E. Bogart filled his
pulpit most acceptably at the
Baptist church. His subject in
the morning was "The Law of
Exaction," which be treated in a
masterful and convincing man
ner. He spoke to the largest au-
dience that has yet greeted him.
The Lord's Supper was then ad-
ministered, in which solemn ser.
vices Deacons Burdick, Stevens,
Crawford and Livingston as
sisted. Eleven new members
were received.
Rev. T. J. Nixon, at the Meth
odlst church, spoke most con-
vincinGly from the text: "Be not
overcome of evil, but overcome
evil with good" Romans xii, 21.
While we can not follow the rev.
erend gentlemen in his splendid
sermon Of an hour, we can not
refrain from saying what a glo-
rions day on earth it would be if
the wol III could only practice
what Reverend Nixon preached.
Ii it did, much of the devils oc-
cupation would be gone. The

On the street Corner.

The wind was blowing a gale.
People were hurrying to and fro, ap-
parently thinking only of themselves
as people usually do when storm
is about to burst upon them. The
city crossings were in shameful con-
dition-what was the matter with the
city authorities cannot tell. There
was loose snow ON the top of what
might be called lake of slush, the
lake in this instance at any rate being
deep enough to submerge the "cross-
er's" rubbers, and sometimes his OF her
shoes.
From around a corner, almost blown
along by the strength of the rising
wind, came an old woman with her
arms full of bundles. She certainly
did look comical with her hat pushed
back on one side and her gray hair
flying over her face, but there was a
pathetic side to the picture. She was
trying to make her umbrella act as a
cane, but the wind made it contrary,
SO it Topped about in an aimless way,
and finally fell down. The old woman
was discouraged. but she struggled to
pick up the umbrella. accomplishing
the task with difficulty, and while
doing so dropped one of her bundles.
Endeavoring to get this, all the others
fell, with the total depravity of in
animate things"
Some school boys passed and
smiled. She's having a hard time, +"
said one, laughing.
''Poor old soul" said an other, really
feeling sorry for her, but not taking
the trouble to show his pity in any
helpful way.
Ju then another school boy came
along. He was we'll dressed, and his
bearing showed that he was ito tha
manor born" Would he, too, pass
by the old woman in her perplexity?
Oh, no, that was not his way.
''Ill pick them up for you," he
said quickly.
He had some cord in his overcoat
pocket, with which lie tied all the
packages together, aud made sort OF
handle to hold them by.

Is managed. II tho wind is behind
the boat the sheet will, Of course, be
eased out until the mainsail stands at
a wide angle with the length of the
boat, thereby exposing as much sur
face as possible. In sailing into the
wind or "by the wind" as the old
seamen say, the sheets are drawn in
very close; in other words, the yacht
is "close- e-hauled," so that the main
sail stands almost parallel with the
length of the boat. The skipper
must keep his eyes wide open and
never allow his hand to leave the
sheets for moment, il he would get
the best speed from his boat and pre-
vent being capsized by sudden
squalls. The maipsail is assisted by q
number of smaller sails before the
mast. These are attached TO various
ropes connecting with the tip end of
the bowsprit and with the stem of the
yacht. The rope which connects the
bowsprit with the top of the topmast
(15) is called the topmast stay and
holds the topmast from being pulled
backward, Just as the topmast back.
stay (ZO) holds 1t from being driven
forward. The line which reaches from
the top of the mainmast to the stem
of the boat (14) is called the forestay,
and it supports the mainmast from
falling backward. The sail (B) is
called the foresail. The sail (C) the
iib, and the sail (E) the iib topsail.
They are all held in by ropes which
can be easily extended or shortened
so as to draw more or less wind. One
OF the most picturesque of the sails is
not shown in the diagram because il
is used only under certain favoring
conditions. This sail, the balloon lib,
is an enormous sail made of very light
cloth-in the Columbia of silk-and
it is larger than either the mainsail or
the spinnaker. 1t is attached at the
very front of the boat, and it is sup

posed to gather up all the wind that
there is. 1t is usually used when the
winds are very light. The correct
method of using balloon jib is very
important feature of the yachtman's s
work, and it may play an exceedingly
important part in the coming race.
The little flag at the top of the top
mast (22) is called the burgee, and
that which flies from the tip of the
gaff (23) is called the pennant. In
case of heavy winds it is found neces-
sary sometimes to reef the sails. This
is done by means of the little strings
which are seen hanging in rows along
the lower part of the mainsail. The
canvas is pulled down to the boom
and tied with these strings, so that
less surface will be exposed to the
wind. Reefing is only done in case
OF very heavy storm or squalls.

Lobsters Change Their Shells.

"All young Holsters change their
shell, or molt, several times year."
said a Fulton market dealer in New
York, "and as they grow older the
change takes place less frequently.
Unlike other deep-sea animals, the
shell of the lobster does not grow
with the body, therefore nature pro-
vided them with clothes which they
could throw off when they begin to 'it
too quick. 1t may easily be seen,
therefore, that as some OF them grow
TO the length Of forty inches, begin
ming their career at less than an inch
in length, the changing must take
place a great many times. Wash. d.

Association Devoted to custard Pie.

The town of Hartford, in Oxford
County, Me-, has Custard Pie Asso-
citation, which meets annually in hem
lock grove on the margin of Swan
Pond and gorges itself with custard
pie. 1t grew out of custard-pie-eat-
ing contest between two residents of
the town on the annual Fast Day
thirty-nine years ago. The match was
adjudged to be tie, the association
was formed, and everybody in it now
strives to beat everybody else eating
custard pie. Secretary John ID. Long,
who was born in the nearby town of
Buckfeld. is an honored member.
