with Larger Eyes.

For God looks on us with larger 9TH
err eyes than ours. He is not the leader
of a sect or the fugleman of a party
He estimates us not by our achieve
ment of orthodoxy, but by our struggle
for goodness. To him who believes in
Christ and in His righteousness and in
a God of light and love difference and
agreement on this petty point or that
petty point OF ritual or doctrine are as
trifes-the mere provincialism of ig-
norance and pride. Every bigot in ex-
act proportion to his feebleness and ig-
norance reveis in the exacerbation Of
differences. but just in proportion as a
man loves God and is like God does he
emerge into an upper air, where the
divisions between churches do not run
and the noise of controversy cannot
penetrate-Rev. F. W. Farrar. d. D..
Dean of Canterbury.

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public By
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though il can do much for .
thing. cannot do everything. 1t may
create a sale for a time. but in order
to insure lasting demand the thing
advertised must hare solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
Is q lasting and absolutely uuequalSd
demand for IL. 1; has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case fox
years.
The reason for this IS that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she IS
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she SAYS she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide.
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should. and do.
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild

OBITUARY..

Oren W. Fernald, who lately died in
Gouidsboro. deserves more than passing
notice, being an honorable, upright and
respected citizen.
His fathers family consisted OF one
daughter, Runie, and five sons-Trux on,
OF Gouldsboro, Elisha, of Franklin, He ry.
of Sutton's Island, and George, of ElIs-
worth Falls.
The subject of this notice was adopted
by George W hitsker, jr., and brought up
in the old w hitaker homestead at West
Bay, where he, at length, came back to
die, being cared for by Mrs. Hiram Z.
Whitaker, his daughter, whose devoted
ministrations made his last days as COM
Portable as could be, from a year of ex-
treme suffering from a cancer in the face.
He is survived by a widow, Hannah
(Newman) FerDald, and by three daugh-
rers and three sons. Mr.. FerDald was an
Industrious, Straightforward citizen,
loyal to his family, caring for them all ae-
cording to his ability. In politics he was
a staunch republican.

Friendship is unknown in the far
country; fiattery and false professions
are there In abundance. Every rich
prodigal will find in the far country
many to praise him and to keep close
to him-as long as he is rich. But the
essential quality of friendship is con-
stancy, and that is not to be found
among the harpies who feed on sins
captiyes. "A friend loveth at all
times" and there are no such friends
sn the far country. They desert the
companion whose substance they have
consumed In riotous living and leave
him to make friends with the swine

ON BEHALF OF CHILDREN
Plea for a Park in the Northeast
Section Of the City.
The Commissioners Urged to Con-
slider Its Estnblishment-Mrs. Amos
e. Draper Points Ont the Necessity
for Breathing Place for the
Little Ones Site Suggested.

Writing from Kendall Green Mrs. Amos
G. Draper makes a strong plea for the
establishment of park in Northeast
washington. She makes the appeal In
behalf Of the children of that section In
her letter she reminds the Commissioners
that in the entire section bounded py
North Capitol Street, Florida Avenue, f1f-
teenth Street, and East Capitol Street
there is but one park and that small
one. II is impossible, she thinks, Tor the
children Of the Northeast section to walk
to the swimming beach, to the wharves,
or to any place where they could enjoy the
fresh air. Car fare, she intimates, is
matter that must be considered where
there is family of growing children.
This section" she continues, lis most
ly occupied by people who stay in town
during the summer, and they need parks
even more than those living in the North
west. most of whom have larger houses
and leave for the country or seashore for
one or two months of the year. 1t is pitt
full to see how children of respectable
parents suffer for lack OF these breathing
places SO generously provided to other
parts of the city. Would ii not be posi-
bic for the city or the Government TO take
some portion Of the land which is to be
abandoned by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad and convert ii into public park,
say between Fifth and Eighth Streets"
In reply to tsis communication the Com
missioners heve determined to say TO Mrs.
Draper tina. her letter will receive careful
consideration and that they will do what
they car to see that the people OF the
Northeast section are provided with as
much park space as possible.
