WHY / SUCCEEDS.
Because it's for One Thing Only, and
Belfast is Learning This.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing will bring success
Doans Kidney Pills do one thing only
They're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney ILL.,
Here is Lewiston evidence to prove it:
Mr. John Watson, general blacksmith on the
sabattus road, Lewiston, Me-, says: "For eight
years had trouble with my back. When suffer-
ing at intervals from attacks, was lame during
the day and in severe pain at night. After hard
days work it was something horrible to endure.
Soon after retired, was compelled to shift my
position looking for comfort, land as this con-
tinued all night, arose often in the morning to
begin another days work more tired than when 1
went to bed. ] read an account of Doan's Kid
ney Pills curing back like mine and went to a
drug store and got box. Well, 1 kept taking
them until the pain left. Since 1 stopped have
done lots of heavy work but my back has stood
the strain"
just such emphatic endorsement can be had
right here in Belfast. Call at Edmund Wilson's
drug store and ask what is reported.

the city we made our way down some
steep stone stairs and again over the
treacherous drawbridge, and to our
carriage.
Driving down into Parliament Square
we noticed a fine equestrian statue of
Bonnie Prince Charlie;" and some
little ragged urchins, turning hand
springs besides the carriage, shrilly call
ed our attention to the slab in the
square over the spot where lies the
body of John Knox. They were re-
warded with shower of pennies, and
made hasty exit, probably to the
nearest shop where Sweets" were sold,
to invest their easily earned treasure.
Soon after we passed John Knox's
house, the Assembly church, Nelson
and Burns monuments, the Carnegie
Library, and other important buildings;
and finally arrived at Holyrood Palace.
Entering the inner court we assembled
a flight of broad stone stairs to room
once occupied by Mary, Queen of
SCOTS. The high four-posted bed-pro-
tected from the possible depredations of
visitors by iron bars-was still covered
with the bed-clothes, now mere time
eaten rags, supposed to have protected
the royal lady from the cold. Off this
room was Lord Darnley's bed and dres-
sing rooms, with the secret stairway
leading to the apartments above,
once covered with tapestry, the faded
remains of which are now drawn aside.
Off these rooms was the Queens sup
ping room. tiny, dark little hole, and
not at all inviting in appearance. We
then climbed the dark, narrow and
winding stairs to the Queens apart
ments, looked into the little closet
where she was wont to pray; then de-
scended to the ground again and found
our way to the ruined chapel built by
David 1. when the abbey of Hollywood
was founded. To quote: "The beauti-
full abbey itself has been ruin since
the fall of its roof in 1868. In connec-
ton with the abbey sprung up the pal
ace, which became a favorite abode of
the Scottish sovereigns."
Returning to the hotel we had dinner
and then set forth for the theatre.

an opportunity to see Tree, the ia

But for the abundant supply of water
furnished by the Belfast water works
we should have had to chronicle the
total loss of Odd Fellows block, and
probably of the whole of that side of
Main street between Church and High
streets. 1t was not an ordinary fire.
Had the firemen been able to play di-
rectly on the fire when it first started it
could have been quickly extinguished.
They could not do so, and it was neces-
sary to flood the cellar. Yet while the
fire was in progress some were heard to
say that in the days of the old hand
tubs it would have been extinguished in
short order. This is absurd. The old
fire departments did noble work with
their hand tubs, but they would have
been powerless in case of a fire like that
of last week. All the water in all the
reservoirs in Belfast, could they have
been reached and the machines been
able to pump it, would not have equalled
the amount poured into the cellar by
the six continuous streams from
the MIGRANTS. AS noted elsewhere
a similar fire in Portland resulted in the
total destruction of the building in
which it originated An abundant wa
ter supply and an efficient fire depart
ment averted a like calamity in Belfast.

Maine editors who have no hair to
speak of are reading with interest the
controversy of the Biddeford Journal
and Bridgton News over the Belgian
hare. Bro. Shorey of the latter paper,
who has invested 90 cents in the bust
ness, sees millions i'll it, and aside from
considerations of pelf commends the
Belgian hare as pet. Bro. Wormwood
of the Biddeford Journal is just little
sceptical, and while admitting that Bel
gian hares as pet stock are entitled to
respect and consideration, says that "as
permanent source-of food supply, as
substitute for beef, pork, mutton and
fowl, their value is so small as to be
eliminated as factor in the question"

At dinner of the Old School Boys in
Boston last week Curtis Guild said the
trouble with boys these days is that
they smoke cigarettes, go to the variety
shows, and try to be bumptious general
ly, with ''penwipers' on their heads
"Where are the good old days of the
hoops?" he asked. ''Show me the boy
that knows the difference between an
alley and a tooser, an agate and a
chinee? Where is the peg top now?
Where is the boy that chalks corners
and plays hockey, and where can you
find the boys that coast the long coast
on Boston Common? Where, indeed,
where are the good old winters?" They
have probably gone to keep company
with the good old boys.

At the first annual meeting of the
New England Postmasters Association.
held in Boston Nov. 21st, paper was
read by Postmaster Robinson of Con-
cord, n. H., in which he gave history
of the rural free delivery system in
New Hampshire. He emphasized the
great good it had accomplished for the
country districts and claimed that it
served to educate the farming popula-
ton by enabling this class of citizens
to get their daily papers, and keep in
touch with the world. The speaker
maintained that the price of property
has gone up in rural communities and
abandoned farms have been taken up
for no more important reason than the
establishment of this rural delivery.

Commercial, was arrested Monday on

On the outskirts of the town, in front

Glory" flying in the breeze at half mast,
fitting tribute to our martyred Presi-
dent. Off came the hats, and faint
cheer rose instinctively to our lips.
After short ride through the village
streets we found ourselves at the rail
way station, and were hurried into the
carriages, as the train was late. Three
of the Belfast party and two other
ladies were hustled into compartment
that already had two occupants, and the
others vanished to find seats where they
could. AT Stirling, famous for its cas-
tie, our fellow travellers left the car
riage and their places were taken by two
Scotch ladies who had been spending
the day sightseeing. They had travel
led little in the United States, and
agreed in praising the country in the
highest terms. They called our atten-
ton to fine views of Sterling Castle, and
pointed cut to us the memorable battle
field of Bannock Burn. They were ex-

ions, and we enjoyed their company
very much. At the next station a

OF the delivery wagons. But here,
the house let's it's clerks make a little
extra money.
"Once week a bushelman will
come around to this store, looking
for old hats. I'll give him all I have
collected, and he'll give me on an
average of Is cents apiece for them.
L get dozen or more hats in the
course of the week, and, you see, this
keeps me in smoking material.
"When the bushelman has made
the rounds of all the stores where
they let him do business he takes the
hats over to shop on the east side.
There they are taken to pieces; that
is, the silk ribbon and the silk band
are taken off and the swaziland is
removed. New material is put on,
the hat is thoroughly cleaned, and if
you can tell it from new you are
wonder.
''The leather for the swaziland
and the very small quantity of silk
for the band and the rim edges cost
only few cents. When the hat is
placed in the store windows it will
sell for two dollars. Many of these
refurbished hats are sent south and
sold to the hands on the planta-
tions.
"1n addition to this industry, the
old clo' man has a field of his own.
He will stop you on the street and
offer to buy all your old cast-off
suits. He pays you a ridiculously
small price, and you take it, for you
would throw the stuff away did he
not buy it. Trousers and coats and
other articles receive treatment like
the hats, and when they arrive in the
south they make very good show
ing and command prices which leave
the men engaged in the business a
handsome profit.
