CARD OF THANKS,

On Jan. 18th, after an illness of only u
few hours Myrtle D. Yates Wheeler pass
ed to the higher life at the call of the
Heavenly Father.
Our hearts were chilled and dazed as
radiant in our home, illuminating the
pathways of our declining years, fade
from sight. The home Of her parents
and husband, that have cherished her
amiable and loving disposition for so
many years, whose walls are decorated
by beautiful pictures, both crayOned and
painted, done by her artistic hands, her
piano that cheered and enlivened our
hearts by the musical touch of her fin
gers, are now silent reminders of her
sweetness, and we are left to wander and
to mourn.
Friends attest to the loneliness of her
character, the sweetness of her DISPOSE
ton, the steadfastness Of her love, to
her ability as artist and musician, the
long, sweet song of her life-but no one
can realize the beauty and worth of that
sweet life like father, mother and hus-
band.
Friends have been very kind to US In
our hour of sorrow. With labors Of
love, words of sympathy and beautiful
flowers they have rendered service we
cannot forget. By mail letters of con-
dolence have come bearing testimony to
the great regards friends held our darl-
ing and expressing heartfelt sympathy.
TO our many friends here and In differ
ent parts of the state, who have re-
membered US by thoughts unexpressed,
by letters of sympathy, by flowers, we
unite in expressing our greatest graft
tude. To all our dear friends, who as
sisted us in our home ut the funeral, we
desire in this way to render our heartfelt
thanks. May God bless you all.
DIR. AND MRS. o. X. YATES.

USEFUL SNOW.
But For 1t Much Of the Earth Would
n

But For II Much Of the Earth Would
he Little Retter Than . Desert.
II all the condensed moisture Of the
atmosphere were to fall as rain and
none of It as snow, hundreds Of thou
sands Of square miles Of the earth's
surface now yielding bountiful crops
would be little better than q desert.
The tremendous economic gain for the
world at large which results from the
difference between STOW and rain IL
seldom realized by the inhabitants Of
fertile and we'll watered lowlands.
1t is in the extensive regions where r.
rigation is prime necessity in agricul-
ture that the special uses Of the snow
come chiefly into view. All through
the winter the snow is falling upon the
high mountains and packing itself
firmly into the ravines. Thus In ma
lures great icehouse supply Of mols-
ture Is stored up for the following sum-
mer.
All through the warm months the
hardened snowbanks are melting grad
ually. In trickling streams they stead
lily feed the rivers, which as they flow
through the valleys are utilized for IT.
rigation. If this moisture fell as rain,
It would almost Immediately wash
down through the rivers, which would
hardly be fed at all in the summer,
when the crops most needed water.
These facts are so well known as to
be commonplace in the Salt Lake val
ley and In the subarid regions Of the
west generally. They are not SO well
understood in New Jersey or Ohio,
VIII snow Is sometimes a pictur-
estxe, sometimes a disagreeable. fea-
ture Of winter.
In all parts Of the country the notion
prevails that the snow is Of great value
as fertilizer. Scientists, however. are
Inclined to attach less importance to its
service in soil nutrition-for some re-
gions which have no snow are exceed
ingly fertile-than to It's worth as a
blanket during the months Of high
winds. 1t prevents the blowing off Of
the finely pulverized richness Of the
top soil. This. although little perceiv-
ed, would often be very great loss.
In natures every form there Is mean

THE UNSPEAKABLE TURK.
He scorns All Effort but Military
Service and Agriculture.

He Scorns All Effort but Military
Service and Agriculture.
A Turk thinks it the most natural
thing in the world to lose province
and. having lost 1t, to quit and live
elsewhere. He talks quite cOmplacent-
ly of leaving Constantinople some day.
He will 60 over to Asia and found an
other capital. He originates nothing.
He takes what he finds without as
similating 1t and remains profoundly
Turkish. He leaves no trace Of bile
occupation except ruins. Practically
there is nothing at Belgrade, Sofia and
Athens to show that for centuries they
were Turkish cities.
All occupations. except agricultural
and military service. are distasteful to
him. Yet there are two other charac-
teristics even more important than
these. The first Is his sense Of disci-
pllne. 1t Is this which keeps together
the apparently totterlng fabric Of the
Turkish empire. 1t makes the half fed.
half clothed soldier ready to endure
every privation and prevents the cor.
ruption and incapacity Of the officers
from producing the anarchy which
would be inevitable in any other coun-
try. Sedition Is unknown. Even COM
plants are rare. and were holy war
proclaimed there Is not man who
would not be prepared to die in de-
Tense Of the system Of extortion which
grinds him down.
His second characteristic Is his lazi-
ness. in spite Of the laborious indus
try Of the Turkish peasant The fact
Is that the Turk Is too proud to do
many things, too stupid to do others.
His religion inculcates fatalism
which tends to a conviction that ef-
fort is useless.-London Telegraph.

conduct of Piscstaquis County's prisoner
who escaped from the PenobscOt County
Jail where be was being kept, or supposed
to be kept, until the completion Of the

gentlemanly thing for him to do, for the

He was knocked down between the rails,

Ola A,ot..c.r,e. .na Doctor..


The offenses Of apothecaries In the
middle ages were numerous and the
punishment in some cases a whipping.
The worst was the improper sale OF
poisons-that is to say, except when
not duly prescribed by known physi-
clan of reputation, and even then not
to put down In register the name OF
the doctor and person to whom such
prescription containing poison was de-
livered, was punishable likewise. The
sale of poison for drugging fish was
prohibited and also that Of inferior
drugs by any apothecary. To prescribe
himself (unless a doctor could not be
found was an offense punishable by
whipping, and all preparations sold by
him had to be made up in the presence
of the doctor or of another apothecary.
A barber surgeon might only prescribe
for exterior applications according to
surgery" but we are not told what was
the penalty in such case.-Gentle-
mans Magazine.

A BRILLIANT SOCIAL AFFAIR.
RECEPTION AT NORWAY
A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL OCCASION
IN EVERY WAY.

Everything seemed to conspire to
make Friday evenings reception TO Gov
ernor Hill and staff at Norway an affair
that in attendance and brilliancy ex-
ceeded even the expectations that were
cherished. The weather was all that
could be desired, and the careful prepar-
ations that had been made assured every
one that it would be not only one of the
largest but one of the most brilliant
parties that Norway has seen in years
as proved fully 10 be the case.
Governor Hill and party arrived at
Norway on the regular afternoon train,
aud were taken TO Besl's Hotel, where
they were entertained for the night.
Several ladies were in the party. Mrs.
Hill accompanied the governor, Adju-
tant- General Richards was accompanied
by Mrs. Richards and Miss Richards,
and Col. Dill of the staff was accompa-
uied by Mrs. Din.
There were also present for the even
ing, as guests of A. o. Noyes Co., U. X,
h. of P, under whose auspices the re-
ception was given, Brighten. Wesley
G. Smith of the Maine Brigade with
members of his staff, and Col. K. G.
with members of his staff.
The Norway Opera House was hand
somely decorated for the occasion by
White Il Westall of Lewiston, and WAS
furnished with comfortable chairs. The
gallery was filled with spectators, and as
many more we're on the floor OF the hall,
when the governor and party entered,
about half-past eight O'Clock. The A. o..
Moves Co. and the regimental and orig
AIDE officers were drawn up in double file
TO receive them, and after they had laid
aside their wraps, those present were
presented TO Governor and Mrs. Hill.
The reception committee consisted OF
Hon. A. 5. Kimball and Col. w. w.
whitmarsh of Norway, Hon. James S.
Wright and George NJ. Atwood of Paris,
Judge A. f. Herrick of Bethel, Hon:
Jonathan Bartlett of Stoneham, and
John B. Robinson of Oxford.
The grand march, which started
little after nine O'Clock, was led by Capt.
r. E. Drake of A. o. Noyes Co., and
Mrs. Drake, followed by Governor and
Mrs. Hill, the governors staff with their
ladies, Gen. Smith and staff with ladies,
Col. Milliken and staff with ladies, and
citizens. One hundred and fifteen cou-
pies we're on the floor for the march and
circle.
An order of ten dances followed,
which was not finished until id the
small hours of the morning. The music,
for both the reception and the ball, was
by Stearns' Orchestra, with two or three
extra players for the occasion, and was
excellent.
Fruit punch was served at the rear of
the hall to all, and ice cream and cake
were served at intermissiOn.
Although the managers had taken
considerable pains TO assure the public
that this was not to be an exclusively
full dress affair, and no standard OF
dress was set, still large portion OF
those present, both ladies and gentle
men, we're in evening dress, and some
handsome costumes were shown. lie was
also very pleasant and enjoyable affair,
socially. All arrangements were care
fully made, and nothing was left undone
that could add TO the pleasure Of those
participating.
