A Harvard professor. after telling his

"Get" means TO acquire, to gain. or
to procure. 1t Is used correctly In such
sentences as "Get understanding" :"
"Please get my books" II have got It
for you from the Shelf" "He Is getting
what you want" and also in the
idioms-to get at, to get away, to get
down, to get home, to get near, to get
OF or on, to get TO place, to get the
start, and to get up.
II we restricted ourselves to THESE
uses Of "get' we could not be criticised,
but we are likely not to do so. espe-
cially when we use "got" with some
form of have" Two mistakes-"have

instead Of "must''-are the most com.

"Get" does not mean to possess. OF
course, we generally possess what We
gain or procure. but we do not neces-
sarily do So and get" expresses the
act of acquiring, not the act of possess
ing, which may follow. "Haye" is the
verb that should denote possession, but
how many times every day do we hear

There is no effort of acquiring on our

The Grand Prize was awarded by

for remarkable development and adap-

Only One Grand Prize for sewing

Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly
becoming q national curse. An un-
doubted remedy has been discovered by
DIR. Hartman. This remedy has been
thoroughly tested during the past forty
years. Prominent men have come to
know Of its virtues and are making pub
lie utterances on the subject. To save
the country we must save the people.
To save the people we must protect
them from disease. The disease that Is
at once the most prevalent and stubborn
of cure is catarrh. Public men Of all

South Berwick, June i0.--Mrs. Cha ries
Packard, while returning to her home
last evening about 9@ O'Clock, was bru-
tally assaulted by an unknown man ON
the track of the Boston and Maine rail-
road, near Great Works crossing. Mrs.
Packard heard steps approaching rapidly
from behind, and upon looking around
saw a man with light suit, who, as no
reached her side, grabbed hold of her and
threw her to the ground. He choked
the woman and dealt her Sc veral heavy
blows In the face, disfiguring her almost
beyond recognition. Then after adm In
istering several kicks on her body he dis
appeared, making no attempt to appro-
pirate any Of the bundles which she was
carrying. Mrs. Packard succeeded in
reaching her home where medical aid
was rendered, but today she Is very weak
and suffering greatly both mentally and
physically. A man answering the des-
cription Of her assailant, is reported to
have attempted an assault last evening
near the same crossing, upon two young
ladies, who, however, escaped before he
could infiict any injuries upon them.
The authorities are searching for the man
but have not yet made any arrests.
