HaIlowcIl's Reunion Day.

Yesterdays exercises at HallOwell
were a credit to the pretty, historic old
city at the hook of the kennebec. The
idea of such a reunion day, when the
scattered sons and daughters Of the
city return to visit the scenes of their
youth and renew old acquaintance,
was one that is worthy of imitation in
every Maine city and village. oid
Home day" which has this year been
inaugurated in our sister state OF New
Hampshire by proclamation of the
governor, should also become an es-
tablished institution in Maine. the red
letter day of each recurring summer.
Halloweirs exercises were in Keeping
with the spirit of the occasion, ana
were most successfully carried out,as Is
shown by the full report in another
column. The feature of the day. the
dedication of the new city hal. was
memorable occasion in the history OF
Hallowell This magnificent structure
so well adapted to the needs OF the city,
will keep in grateful remembrance for
generations to come the name of the
noble-hearted donor whose love for her
native city had previously been shown
in a most substantial manner. 1t adds
much to the gift that Mrs. Lowell was
direct descendant of Hallowell's first
settler who built his home in the will
derness beside the beautiful kennebec
in 1862 .,.
Augusta congratulates its sister city,
which is also it's mother city, upon the
success of its reunion and dedication
exercises. 1t has a past OF which 1t
is Justly proud, rich in historical asso-
Citations that cluster around the names
of its famous children and the record
of its commercial and industrial su-
premacy. That fate has been less kind
to it in recent than in former years, is
no indication that its future will not
be worthy of it's past. Certainly It's
promise is now bright.

Two eminent physicians of Trenton.
N. j., recently reported that the death
of little girl in that place was "di-
rectly traceablc to the deadly bite of
the kissing bug" Undoubtedly the lit
tie one in question was bitten by some
poisonous insect, but inasmuch as the
kissing bug" exists only in newspaper
fakes, he is to be held guiltless. One
of the learned medical men in ques-
ton was wise enough to say that he
had known very serious cases Of
blood poisoning to follow the bite of a
mosquito''-this. Of course, means a
Jersey mosquito-and hence has a
small avenue of escape from the en-
barrassnS position in which he has
been placed by the exposure of the
kissing bug" fake. OF course, every
ambitious physician will strive to be
up with the times in this progressive
age; but it will be best for all of them
to require all new bugs to be identified
by responsible parties before adopting
them in diagnosis.

IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor 10 Recommend Patent Medi.
cines -?

From Sylvan Valley News, HBrevard,
N. C.
1t may be question whether the edi-
tor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any Of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffer-
ing we feel it duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for 20 years and have always
found it reliable. In many cases a
dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for a cure,
but we do believe that if bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception Of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past 20 years. For sale by Jno. Cough

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

Love is a disease that you have to
die of to get well. tt
Every man is an ass. only some have
longer ears than others.
If Adam was built like other men, all
of his ribs were crooked, anyway.
A woman's idea of a function is
something where all the women wear
dresses made on purpose.
Probably the last straw wouldn't
have broken it's back. if the camel had
been somewhere where he could have
bought a drink
Woman is the Slave of fashion; man
is the slave of woman.
The reason Cupid wears wings is so
he can fly out the window when pow
erty comes in the door.
The woman who really thanks a man
for doing something never says a word;
she just looks it.
The only way a man can keep his
wife from worrying about his morals is
for him to worry about her health.
About three days before his wife
comes home from Europe a man begins
to look as if he had a note coming due
which he couldn't pay.
The more woman has her way the
less her way is worth having.
1t is only those who die old that
know how sweet it is to die young.
Women fear death more than dying;
men fear dying more than death.
Love has a thousand eyes and five
hundred pairs of smoked glasses.
The fewer faults a man really has,
the more he is generally willing to let
other people think he has.
He who has a woman's secret is a
jailer: he who tells a woman one is a
prisoner.
Some women will do most as much
for the good of their souls as most men
will do for the good of their wives
health.
The more a man loves woman the
less he likes her failings; the more a
woman loves a man the more she loves
his faults.
A man is never fully conquered until
his wife has succeeded in making him
say before company that he likes to
push the baby wagon.
Probably women love to play with
| little babies SO because they like to
imagine how worthless and insignfi-
cant their husbands were once.
| When a man can't find any other ex-
cuse for his sins he blames them on
heredity. -.
Love may change it's living place, but
| it keeps on getting mail at the same
| old address.
The more times man falls in love
the surer he is he has no business to be
| in any such place.
When you forget to congratulate a
girl who is engaged she goes around
| telling her best friends what a terrible
blow it was to you.
When man says something that
was wrong in an argument he after
ward Apologies: woman will never
apologize unless she was in the right.
Marriage is brand which most men
| wear on their foreheads.
Probably it never occurred to the
Lord that Eve might refuse to marry
Adam.
Before a girl is married she thinks
