The editor Of the Boston Journal has
evidently experienced the keen delights
of deer hunting in Maine. In speaking
of the great game season which has
just closed he says: The experts
may be especially pleased by the un-
questionable fact that this last was
one of the best deer seasons on record.
but to folks at large the fact that $1,000
deer were killed in a few months or SO
throws a strong light on the surface of
hunting There can be no doubt that
tracking big game in the northern
woods is a mighty popular sport. We
are inclined to believe the saying that
a man that has once brought down the
nimble deer or the ungainly, dangerous
moose fairly itches in the autumn to
be of to the chilly. healthy, primeval
forests indeed. it looks as if the num-
Der eff those indulging in the lively and
healthy pastime We're increasing year
by year" But the Journal goes on to
draw an utterly wrong conclusion by
adding that if new record for deer
shooting has been made, new record
for man shooting has probably been
made also.

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia to Stomach
Trouble
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stewards Dyspepsia Tablets.
A New Discovery, but not Patent Medicine

Dr. Redwcll relates an interesting
account of what he considers a re-
markable case of acute stomach trouble
and chronic dyspepsia by the use OF
the new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets
He says: The patient was a man who
had suffered, to my Knowledge, for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create gases in
the stomach. He had pains like rheu-
matism in the back, shoulder blades
and limbs, fullness and distress after
eating, poor appetite and loss Of flesh;
the heart became affected, causing pal
pitation and sleeplessness at night.
II gave him powerful nerve tonics
and blood remedies, but to no purpose.
As an experiment | finally bought a
80 cent package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given, and after he had used four
boxes he was to all appearances fully
cured.
There was no more acidity or sour,
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and II pounds in
weight Of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores.
Vet | consider them most valuable
addition to any physicians line Of
remedies, as thy are perfectly harm
less and can be given To children or
invalids or in any condition Of the
stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but
fruit and vegetable essences, pure pep
sin and Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indi-
gestion. biliousncss, constipation and
all arrangements Of the stomach, how
ever slight or severe"

The fond mother dreams great dreams
of baby's future as she holds the sleeping
little one in her arms. But the dreams
will never come true unless she has
given him strong body and healthy
mind. Children die in hosts, or live to
struggle through life feeble of body and
dull of mind because the mother was
unfit physically and mentally for moth
crhood. Women who use Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription endow their chill
dren with strong bodies and bright minds.
1t is every mothers duty to give her
child the advantages of healthy body
and mind. A weak or sickly woman
cannot do this. "Favorite Prescription"
makes weak women strong and sick

England is going at it in grim ear
nest now, and proposes to wipe out the
record of those reccn: rcTcrcc5 in South
Africa. Lord Roberts, who will here
after be first in command, is a popular
idol and much is expected of his pres

is pitiable one. He Is IS years of age
and has just come home from 40 years
service in India. His only son and
his nephew have just been killed by
the Beers and he is the last Of a dis
tinguished line. But without muir
muir, the grim old fighter obeys the or

Rev. Elijah Kellogg thus describes
the church services in the early days
of the century in Portland, when his
father was preaching there: There
was no fire in the meeting house. The
women carried foot stoves that con
tanned an iron dish filled with hot Goals.
The sexton was bound by written con
tract to keep a good rock maple wood
fire on the Sabbath in order that the
people might have good Goals to fill
their foot stoves in the morning and
repleniSh them between meetings.
Children suffered most from cold feet
and would often cry with cold. | used
to run my legs to the knees into moth
ers muff and get my feet on her foot

My father used TO say that when he
could hear people all over the house
striking their feet together to quicken
the circulation. he felt it was time to
stop preaching, and indeed seldom
preached more than 40 minutes ana

Here is what Mary s. Snow, superin-
tendcnt of the Bangor schools, says on
the subject of manual training in city
schools: Il am interested in manual
training. There is scarcely any need
of saying that. If YOU want my rea-
sons | can state them to you here:
Any school system that aims at less
than the all-around development of
youth is faulty and Inadequate. The
training of the hand is as potent to
quicken the whole brain as training in
mathematics. A record of more than
90 years of successful achievement in
