Water and Verse.

The village of Camden is now supplied
with water by the Rockland company. A
bill before the legislature provides for the
purchase of so much of the plant as is in
Camden, and the establishment of a town
supply of water. The Rockland company
is naturally opposed to this program, anda
hot contest has followed. February Goth
the CamdeniteS who are supporting the bill
arrived at the State Capital with band and
poet to attend the hearing before the
judiciary committee. Hon. Enoch Foster
Oscar Hersey, Esq, and J. H. Montgomery,
Esq, appeared for the bill, and Hon. Henry
B. Cleaves, A. S. Littlefield, Esq, and Judge
Reuel Robinson for the Rockland company
Camden's poet is w. Howard Gardner, and
here are some of the stanzas from his effu-
sion:
There's pretty little village, just as pretty
as can be,
And they call that village Camden, lovely
Camden by the sea,
But they're desperate short of water there
and all the people pray
Give us water, water, water, give us water
day by day.
Give US water day by day; that's what all
the people say
CdH you near Gne surf aDeaClng on the
rocks beside the bay
Give us water day by day, that's what all
the people pray;
What they ask for at Augusta from their
home beside the bay.
They are weary now of waiting, but the
Trust it holds them down
| And the fires go on burning, just as once
they burned the town,
! For the Rockland Trust it holds them, holds
them firmly by the throat
| While it takes their hard-earned dollars,
and relief seems quite remote
| es, relief seems quite remote as it holds
them by the throat,
For Trust is hard to conquer when it
holds you by the throat.
but the time is coming near, will the LeglS-
lature hear?
What they ask for at Augusta is for wa
ter bright and clear.
There's Sid, Bird and A. F. Crockett and
Fred Richards, yes and Cleayes,
And they've hired Reuel Robinson the peO-
pie to deceive,
They would give them mud and cells to
drink and make 'em pay the price
Of dividends on water stock and tell 'em
that it's nice.
Yes they tell 'em that it's nice and they
have to pay the price
Of mud and cells and nastiness and try to
think it nice.
But the people now are up, for pure water
in their cup.
What they ask for at Augusta is pure
water in their cup.

wonderful arches and elegant dome,
Around the court runs gallery, so ex-
quisitely lighted that it seems suspend

breezes and afford superb prospects.
This tower, you remember, is the scene
of Irving's legend of the three beauti-
full princesses. It was the residence of
the daughters of the Moorish kings:
and one king was a tyrant who locked
his girls up in it, allowing no one to
come near them on pain of death, and
permitting them only to ride at night
upon the hills, attended by troop of
eunuchs. Notwithstanding the fathers
vigilence the princesses were seen by
some Christian knights, and the flame
of love burned brightly in the hearts of
men and maidens. Under such con-
ditions there was nothing to be thought
of but escape, and by the aid of ser
wants two of the princesses succeeded
in descending from the lofty windows
and fleeing upon swift horses with their
lovers. The courage of the third failed
her at the critical moment Left lonely
and hopeless she died young and was
buried beneath the wall of her prison.
According to Irving: Occasionally
when the moon is full, the three prin-
cesses may be seen riding in sequestered
places along the mountain side on pal
frys richly caparisoned and sparkling
with jewels; but they vanish on being
spoken to-
The Flower of the Captive" has a
more veritable history. 1t was for
time the residence of Dona Isabel de
Soles, the Christian maiden who was
captured by the Moors and with whom
grim old Abu Hassan fell so violently
in love that he shut his Sultana up in
another tower and married the captive,
whom he named Zoraya, ''Star of the
morning" History says that they lived
happily some years, until driven from
the throne by Boabdil, son of the dis
carded Sultana Avasha A century be-
fore Zoraya's day, another Sultan, Abul
Walled Ismael, captured an equally love-
ly but less complaisant Christian maid
en-, whom he shut up in the tower, in
tending to make her his wife, or at least
the chief lady of his harem. But she
would have none of it, and threw her
self out of the window into the deep
gorge below, where her lifeless body
was discovered by knight who, of
course, in the story, turned out to be
the lover from whom she had been torn,
and who straightway made war against
the wicked Abul Walled Ismael.

From the Tindicator, R,therfordton. N. C.
The editor of the Vindicator has had occa-
sion to test the efficacy of Chamberlain's
Pain Palm twice, the most remarkable re-
suits in case. First, with rheumatism in
the shoulder from which he suffered ex-
cruciating pain for ten days, which was re-
leved with two applications of Pain Balm,
rubbing the parts afflicted and realizing in
slant benefit and entire relief in a very short
time. Second, in rheumatism in thigh joint,
almost prostrating him with severe pain,
which was relieved by two applications,
night and getting up free from pain. For

A Fish Story ~

The Camden correspondent of the Rock
land Star says: "The following story is
told by our lively newsdealer, Dan Dickens.
He says he caught two and a half pound
pickerel on a recent fishing trip to Liberty
using for bait live mnnows. The pickerel
taken by him was not dressed until the next
day when they found the minnow alive in
side the pickerel. Some of Dams friends
call this a ''fish story but he vouches for
the truth of it. If Jonah remained alive in
side the whale for three days and nights
why may not this story be true?"

TOO MANY OF THEM DIE.
Their Little Bodies Unable
to Stand the Ordeal Of
Development.
We THINK EVERY MOTHER IN
THIS TOWN SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT vNOl.
It is the Delicious Tonic We
Advise for Growing
Children.

Is your boy or girl pale and listless?
Do they act differently from other
children? Do they sleep poorly and
eat poorly? Does your boy avoid the
sports and games of other boys? Does
your girl complain of headache and
find her studies Hardship?
If so, you may make up your mind
they are growing too fast. They need
something to help nature in her great
work of furnishing the necessary ele-
mentS for creating flesh and muscle It's
sue, bone structure and rich, pure, red
blood.
They need tonic in the full sense
of the word and we can tell you what
to get.
1t is Vinol Wine of Cod-Liver Oil, the
great modern Reconstruction. Children
like it, it is so delicious to the taste, in
spite of the fact that it contains a
highly concentrated extract of the
medicinal principles that are found in
cod-liver oil.
But because the vile-smelling and
tasting grease has been discarded and
all of the other disagreeable features
eliminated, the benefits of Vinol are
easily understood.
Vinol acts favorably on the stomach,
creates an appetite and enables the
food that is eaten to do the greatest
possible amount of good.
Following is a letter that bears d.
rectly on this subject:
was all run down and took Vinol
1t did me SO much good and it was so
pleasant to take that 1 gave it to my
children. They were growing fast and
needed something in the way of tonic
and l found it to be just the thing for
them" PICKERING, 1882 Fall
River, Mass.
We cordially invite mothers inter-
ested in the welfare of their children,
as well as any one else needing sure,
safe and delicious tonic, rebuilder and
rejuvenator, to call on us. We will
gladly tell any one sill we know about
Vinol and why we so highly endorse it.
lnasmuch as we are always ready and
pleased to refund the cost of Vinol to
those who don't find it exactly what we
claim it to be, it will be seen that we
are prepared to substantially endorse
our claims for the excellence Of this
marvellous preparation.
