The election on Tuesdly. was q
very tame affair when compared to
town elections held here In the past.
Less than fifty per cent of the voters
Of the town registered and less than
seventy-flve per cent of those regis
tered voted. But five names appeared
on the official ballot and all were
elected practically without opposition.
They are Louis Eilert who received
80 votes; T. L. Quarles, So; Robert
S. McCrea, s.; Frank Wenz, IS; ST.
mon Beck 40. There were several scat
terihg votes cast for various candi-
dates, @. W. Wood receiving Is, the
highest number cast for any other
than those who names appeared on
the official ballot. -Four of the can
didates elect served the town faith
fully and we'll as trustees last year,
while Mr.. Beck distinguished himself
two years ago as trustee who has
the interests of the town at heart.

A RELIABLE PILE CURE.

The Pyramid Pile Cure is the safest and
surest pile cure on the market, because it
contains no mineral poisons nor opium nor
cocaine but can be used with absolute
safety and certainty of cure.
Many physicians are now using the
Pyramid Pile Cure in place of surgical
operations, being painless, convenient TO
use, and the patient can attend to his
daily occupation while the cure is being
made. as it is used at night and no addi-
tional treatment is necessary
Dr. Wharton says the Pyramid Pile
Cure will prove a blessing TO mankind,
when it is remembered that heretofore
a surgical operation was considered the
only cure with all its danger to life, in
tense pain and an expense of from ten to
enc hundred dollars, to say nothing OF
the possible return of the trouble. The
Pyramid Pile Cure costs but fifty cents
at any drug store and does the work
quickly and safely.

You boys who live in cities don't
know what a nuisance wolves can
make of themselves when they set
their crafty minds to it and even
those of you who live in the wolf
country or who have read the ripping
good stories about them by Ernest
Seton-Thompson, can have no idea OF
the trouble that the blue wolf OF
Ocean county, State OF Maine, caused
to the farmers thereabout.
Ocean county may be said to lie
Just 100 miles due east of Portland,
and if you'll look it up on the map
YOU will understand me.
The selection of latham had offer
ed standing reward of $1,000 to the
man, woman, boy or girl who would
bring in that blue wolf dead or alive.
The wolf stood eight felt high in
her stocking feet and it didn't make
IL bit of difference. to her whether
mamma had a headche or not, when
she felt like coming in and eating
up the canary or the gold fish or the
horse or a whole flock of sheep, why
she did it and there was no sheep
dog, so brave nor any marksman so
sure that he was able to damage
old Blueskin as she was called.
Why, she had enough lead in her
to sing ship, but she grew fat
on lead and cried for more when the
farmers got tired of shooting at her.
It's singular that no noe suspected
that she was an enchanted wolf. VI
course you knew it as soon as You
began to read this. but that's only
because of the name of this series
Those harded Maine farmers never
thought of Blueskin being enchant-
ed even when they considered her
preposterous color which shaded from
light blue at the tip of the mhmm
light blue at the tip of her tail to
marine blue at her collar and a
greenish blue around her wickedly
scarlet eyes.
One day she came down like Sen
nacherib's army on sheepfold and
spoiled forty-eight legs of mutton.
which gave the alarm by crying baa
in twelve different tones. there being
one voice to every four legs, as is
usual with mutton and other roasts
1t was the morning after this
slaughter among the sheep that Ike

tie Ned Soule that the wolf was en-
chanted. Ike tramped all over Maine
and nobody knew where he had origi

announces that all who are not in at
that time are marked tardy.
Two hundred pupils in one hall, all
taking their examinations at the same
time, without whisper or any other
