In the death of Mr.. Charles N, Wood.
which occurred at his home in Mercer.
June 10th, the town sustains widely felt
and severe loss. Mr.. Wood was one of
those that any to sn can i'll afford to lose.
Born in Norridgewock. 63 years ago, he
spent most of his days in Mercer. He
was always an interested citizen of the
town, serving the same faithfully eight
ears on the board of selectmen and also
In other important capacities.
Our beloved friend was man of broad
and genuine sympathy. He was citizen
of large calibre, and had the true interest
of things at heart. Not only was he a
good citizen of his town and State. but
also of the United States. He had the
ring of the noble character. He was a
true patriot, for he loved his country.
Her flag was his flag, her interests were
his interests and in her success he gloried.
IAN honest man is the noblest work OF
God" Our subject was one of the most
scrupulously honest men that ever lived.
He was regarded in his town as marked
example of honorable dealing in all
things. His judgment was remarkably
correct and keen, but he never used it to
the disadvantage of others and his own
gain A.; rather it was always used for the
common good of others and himself.
A good place to test a mans qualities
is his own home. A man is very apt to
be himself under his own roof. In his
home Mr.. Wood was always the same,
the faithful, considerate and loving hus-
band, the wise. afectionate and kind
hearted father, the unselfsh, helpful and
cheerful member.
"He being dead yet speaketh, these
words of scripture remind US of the endur-
ing influence of good life. The COM
munity where Mr. Wood lived will not
forget him soon and his wholesome in
luence will remain with them long time.
His fellow citizens and friends showed
their genuine sympathy and respect, both
for the living and the dead, in the large
and honorable funeral they accorded him.
Our hearts would say, rest beloved friend.
thy labors are ended, thy reward is sure,
Could he but speak to US, his words
would be- "Well done my good and
faithful friends and kim" J.

Jn.t What Was Wanted.

1t Is related of a IIibernian parade
in Chicopcc that one of the officers
of the day telephoned an order to a
Holyoke stable for II white horses for
the use of marshals. aids. etc. The
llverymcn filled the order but it some
what taxed their resources To find so
many white horses. Judge of their
surprise n day before the parade to re
ceiye an order for five more white
horses.
The liverymen deal quite extensively
in horses and had but that day recciv-
ed a ns-nment Of young and I'M
tried animals. Consequently they wet
doubtful about sending any OF them
to take part in the parade. They sent
word to Chicopee that 1t would be Inn
possible to fill the second order, as
they had nothing but green horses on
hand"
Instantly back came word, We'll
take the green horses = all you've
got"-Springtield Homestead

Legend of Drug.

Chinese herbs usually have some
legend connected with them to illus
trate their virtues, and this is the story
connected with the "Haw" herb: Haw
Show Woo was very good, very de
vout and very old man. one day he
was accused of stealing the affections
of his brothers wife and was sent to
prison for trial. He becalne very hun
CRY and prayed 10 The gods as became
a man of his great piety. During the
night a bush splang up through the
floor of his dungeon, and in the morn
ing the famished man ate the leaves.
Days went by while he was waiting
for his trial. and he continued to piece
out his scanty diet with the leaves of
the bush. When he was taken into
court for trial the officers exclaimed;
This is not the man who was arrest
ed and confined in the cell. The cul-
prit is an old man; this is young
man"
Sure enough Haw had become a
young man to all appearances again
He was innocent of the charge against
him, and when released by the judge
Haw told him the story of the little
plant that had grown UP in his cell
and how he had eaten the leaves.
The officials dug up the shrub and
presented it To the emperor His fami-
ly for many years was the only one
that had the privilege of eating the
sacred leaves. But as time passed
slips were cut from it and sent through
the kingdom and now the commonest
coolie may eat of the wonderful Haw
plant and renew his youth if he pos
sesses enough money.-San Francisco

OLD METHODS
VERSUS NEW.

Education shapes our beliefs and preju-
oices and makes US cling to old fashioned
ideas and notions until new developments
in science prove the error of our teaching
and force new truths upon Us. A few
months ago you would laugh at any one
claiming to be able to photograph an
object through six-nch plank. and yet
today everyone knows this is easily
accomplished by electricity. Scientific
discovery is constantly upsetting old
doctrines and enabling US to do hitherto
impossible things
In no way has this TACT been more
strikingly illustrated than by the results
of his new methods of curing
