There may be no question what ever about your courage, but we'll undertake to say that, though you are as brave as 8 lion, you won't want to have anything to do with that kind of fray. Trousers and tatters don't make just the kind of a combination that you are hankering after, do they? Purchasers of Suits or Trousers will have the advantage of our Mark Down Prices, and will not be bothered with any thing of the sort. They are just as safe from it as though they had a paid-up policy of insurance against any such kind of un- pleasantness. If our Suits give you any hankering at all, they will give you an ungovernable hankerning for another one just like it.

"FIorodora" Seat Sale Opens, This
Mornino

Tights and all kind"cd accessories Of
comic opera and musical comedy, have
been taboOed in Fisher and Ryley's pro-
duction of 'FlorodOra," which boasts
but one pair of fieshings in the five
hundred costumes that the presenta-
tion requires. Even short skirts are an
unknown quality in the dressing of this
famous success and its pretty
maidens' present a picture of demure
lovliness in their elaborate evening
gowns and pictuce hats.
Not alone in the cOStuming of the
play have Fisher and Ryley set high
er standard than any of their prede-
ceSsors but in every other department
of the famous production there is a
manifst desire TO have ''Florodora"
different from everything else. There
are no risque situations, no double
edged jokes or anything to offend the
most sensitive, while the music is of
such an entrancing character and the
comedy so droll, that the performance
offers a genuine treat to all lovers of
clean entertainment.
"F'lorodora" with all it's sparkle and
magnificence will be the attraction at
the Opera House on next Wednesday
evening, April %.

DRUG CLERKS STORY.
How His WatchfuIness Saved Little
Ones Life.

The article of which the following is
an ATTRACT was written by Charles X.
HilIberg of Brockton. Mass, and print
ed in the New England Druggist, a
publication devoted to the interest of
the druggists.
Il had occasion the other day to re-
fill a prescription. and thank my lucky
star that | happened at that time to be
little inquisitive. The experience
confirms my opinion that there should
be some restrictions made so that we
could not refill a prescription contain
ing powerful drug.
"A woman came in and handed me
bottle to fill again, and naturally I
did so. The prescription is: Three
grains of morphine, two drains spirits
Of chloroform and one other ingredient
to be added in sufficient quantity to
make three ounces. Dose-One tea
spoonful four times a day and at night
if needed.
Il have filled this prescription re-
peatedly, as it seems that this particu-
lar prescription is considered quite Il
cough mixture in my neighborhoOd,
ana the bottle has been loaned to right

to the mother. l asked her about her
cough. Mine is all gone. was her an
swer, but my little girl has Il bad cold
and a hard cough, 50 I'm going to give
her some of this medicine
Thus the child would take at least
one-half grain of morphine during the
day, and very likely even more, as
those people think they can take a
cough syrup as often as they see fit.
told the mother that if l mad known
of her intention of using the medicine
for the child | would not have filled
the bottle, but as it was | warned her
not to use this medicine. Suppose that
the child should get hold of the bottle
ana drink the whole of it, as it makes a
very pleasant syrup to take. Very
likely grave results would follow. =
The effect of these drugs on a cold is
| to cause pneumonia. That is one rea-
son why in our advertisements we have
warned You against patent medicines
and cough syrups and Dals2ms that con
tain these poisonous drugs. Father

Col. Geo. A. PhiIbrook, of this city,
State manager of the Mutual Reserve
Life Insurance Co. of New York, re-
ceivcd i telegram, last night, from the
New York office of the company, in
forming him that the company had
that day received from the state of
New York a charter as an old line legal
reserve company. This company was
originally an assessment company, and
was the largest assessment company in
the world. Five years ago the COM
pany began writing its business on a
legal reserve basis, and since that time
has been changing over its old business
to this same basis. On January 1st,
the insurance department of the state
of New York began an examination of
the company. which has covered a pc
riod of over three months, and was the
most thorough and exhaustive eXami-
nation ever given life insurance COM
pany in this country. The fact that
Immediately upon its completion the
new charter was granted, shows the
strong financial condition of the COM
pany. These facts will be a source of
great pleasure to tae large number of
policy holders of this company, in the
State of Maine, many of whom are
residents of this city.
