When the mayor Of Bridgewater

power they perhaps little suspected
that, In fact. he could make the blind

Bets were freely made that he could do
nothing of the kind. and thereupon the
mayor had the gypsies arrested and

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.
No Town Can Afford TO he Behind In
This Matter

Citizens of st. Louis have recently
begun a movement to make the city
more healthful and beautiful and con-
sequently more desirable place of
residence. The Dispatch pushes
the work along in this manner:
"rhe suggestion of the Real Estate
Exchange that citizens interest them.
has met with hearty response. and
an organization is already forming for
the purpose. The unit of this organi.
Zation is to be the block committee.
each to look after the trees in that
area.
The idea is most excellent and will
no doubt prove of great benefit to the
city.
But would it not be well to broaden
the scope of the organization? Let tree
planting be the beginning. but let the
work comprehend neighborhood and
city Improvements of much wider ex.
tent.
''The block committees can do much
In the way of keeping the streets
pavements and clean; they
can establish a real inspection OF
sprinkling and regulate many other
similar details of public work which
are neglected by public officers.
Beyond the neighborhood is the mu-
nicipa.ay. and the possibilities of this
organization in the direction of public
Improvement cannot be calculated.
Personal interest will be awakened by
the smaller duties in the citizens own
block. and naturally this will expand
and cover the entire city"
These suggestions should not be ig.
nored by other communities that could
be benefited immeasurably If some
such method of improvement were fol
lowed.

Death of the Sailor Preacher,

Rev. Andrew Gray of East Sullivan,
1.-The sailor preacher, whose death was
reported last week, was in many ways
a remarkable man. Without even the
advantages of common school educa-
ton, his boyhood after the age of seven
years being spent on an isolated island
where schools were unknown, he be-
came forceful and effective speaker.
OF course, his sermons lacked the polish
given by education, but his point was
emphasized with homely phrases and
stories of the sea, which gave him the
name of the ''sailor preacher" which he
bore many years.
Andrew Gray was born at Brooksville
in 1928. His father was Josiah Gray.
His grandfather, Christopher Gray, was
the first American child born in the
historic old town of Castine and lived
to be over 100 years old When Andrew
was seven years of age, his father
moved to Pickering's island; Andrews
school days ended then. AT IA years of
age he began going to sea. Even then
he had been converted, and his faith
held firm during the rough companion
ships of the sea. He was on one of the
vessels in the fishing fleet which met
with disaster in the Bay of Chaleur in
the memorable gale OF 1851, when $50
sailors lost their lives, and received in
juries which made him cripple for life.
Leaving the sea, Mr.. Gray began to
preach. His early labors were with the
Baptist denomination, in which he be-
came a licensed preacher. Later he
went over to the Free Baptist church,
and was ordained a preacher in Ellis
worth Quarterly meeting He has trav.
eled thousands of miles through east
ern Maine, preaching in churches, halls,
school houses or private homes, wher-
ever he could gathera few hearers. He
organized two Baptist churches, baptiz-
ed eighty-five people, and performed
many marriage ceremonies. 1t was one
of his proud boasts that of all the couples
he had married he knew of but one
separation.

Fun by Auburn Ladies.

The members of Auburn Lodge, indie
pendent Order of Odd Ladies, gave a
regular burnt-cork minstrel show last
week, and the Lewiston Sun says it was
a grand success. Following are some
of the local hits:
Mrs. Decker-Girls do you know why
it is that Mayor Wilson can't be
buried at Mt Auburn?
All-Why?
Mrs. Decker-Because he isn't dead
yet.
Mrs. Maria Bailey, a member of the
Lodge who is always late when they
go out OF town, received the following
notice:
Mrs. Hartmann saw thing to-day
which proves how smart Odd Ladies
are when they wish to be.
1nterlocutor-Wel what did you see?
Mrs. Hartmann saw Maria Bailey
going to the depot and she was five
minutes late.
1nterlocutor-Wha did she do?
Mrs. Harriman-She turned, grabbed
her dress and caught the train.
This is a case for the Auburn police
to look up:
Mrs. Decker-Did you hear of the
burglary at Mechanic Falls?
Int-No, haven't heard of it,
Mrs. Decker-Well burglar broke
into a house. A young lady in the
house heard him and stuck her head
out of the window and called for a
policeman Now that's what l call
bravery.
Init don't see anything so very
brave in that, any of our Auburn girls
could do that.
Mrs. Decker call that brave, very
brave!
Int-But I say any of our Auburn
girls could do that.
Mrs. Decker-No ma'am. l say they
| could not do it,
Int-Why couldn't they do it?
Mrs. Decker-Because they could not
find policeman.
Mrs. Rollins-Mrs. Decker you are
mistaken in the Auburn policemen.
There was one day when they could be
| found
Mrs. Decker-Why, what day was
that?
Mrs. Rollins day.

Dad BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat Of an almost end
less variety Of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
TO have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
Of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring pirnples.
