the badge he.haS worthily born so long. No officer of the county has given bet ter satisfaction than he has done for more than score of years and al- though he has expressed strong de- sire to be rid of the same after his long term, still he knows his friends regret that he has been obliged to do so. It is not an easy task to give uni versal satisfaction as an officer of the law but as such we believe MT Strong has most deservedly won the laurel. We are therefore glad under the cir cumsta 1ces, his mantle has fell on the worthy shoulders of Mir Kilbourn.

MISS ALICE GRITMAN,


 The body of Miss Alice Gritman, who died in Bridgeport, was laid at rest by the side of her father and moth CT in the Center cemetery, June 13. Never was face with a sWeeter ex- presSion or more beautiful smile laid amid profusion of flowers, the gifts of friends, with love and kindness placed there, and we'll did Rev MT Munson express her life when he said ''Let us judge her by her works and not her words." She has taught many of us lesson that should never be for gotton, lthe lesson of "Faith," "Pa- tience," 'Trust," "Sincerity," and "Duty." For many years she never had an opportunity to attend place of worship or to enter God house. She was constantly at the bedside of an in- valid brother, doing her duty until one week before she died, and it was all her friends could do then to persuade her to leave him to the care of others, and her last thoughts were of him and and that the Lord would spare her as long as her sbrqther lived. How few there are like her! If we could only have some with only a small part like this pure Christian girl. Funeral Di- rector Beers of Washington had the arrangements in charge.

 Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

Mosiem Leaders Power Has Been In
creasing Ever since 1896.
The annihilation Of Colonel Plum
kett's force Of the British army in So
maitland is the latest Of long series
Of reyerses, OF greater or less impor-
lance, which have attended the efforts
Of Great Britain and Abyssinia to sup
press The movement headed by Hadji
Mohammed Abdullah. known as the
Mad Mollah. says the New York Times
Prior to 1896 Mohammed Abdullah
was mere student of the Koran, with
ont tile attributes Of the visionary and
without fanaticlsm In the year men-
toned lie made the pilgrimage to Nee
ca aud sat at the feet OF the great
''seer" Of that city, Mohammed sala.
The Mollah returned 70 his own coun-
try imbued with the desire Of reyiving
the religious spirit OF his people He
preached at Berbera and elsewhere
and gradually acquired the reputation
Of holy man Already hadii by rea-
son Of his visit to Mecca, he expounded
the law and the Scriptures with great
earnestness, and as time went on and
the British made no move to suppress
his seditious utterances lie became
more and more daring.
Mohammed Abdullah belongs to a
section of the Ogaden tribe, in the
southwest Of Somaliland, and married
a girl Of the Ali Gheri, one Of the Dol
bahanta tribes in the southeast Of the
British protectorate BY his marriage
he extended his influence from Abys-
sinia. on the west, to the borders Of
Italian Somaliland, on the east. The
Ali Gheri were his first followers.
These were presently Joined by two
sections Of the Ogadens, the Rer Ibra-
him and the Ho Hawadle. His fame
continued to Increase. and IN the mean
time he continued his pilgriInages to
Mecca, every visit adding to his repu-
tation and increasing his influence.
In 1899 the Mollah inaugurated a
great religious movement. He openely
melted the tribes to rebellion against
the British authority, and soon after
ward he began TO resort to force L
gain supporters. His methods were
primitive, but effective, and lie con
tinued to gain adherents-
1t was In August 1899, that the first
serious alarm over the activity Of the
MoIlah was felt He appeared az Burat

Stories Told About ChartrHn's On
Painting of the Secretary.
There are several good stories in the
new oil portrait Of Secretary Shaw
which is to grace the wall OF the Office
Of the secretary OF the treasury, in
accordance with the time honored Gus
tom Of the department, says the Wash
ington correspondent Of the New York
Tribune. In the FIRST place, its cost Is
placed at something over $4,000. IT
was painted by CharTan IN just eleven
hours the rate amounting to about S.
a minute for his time. Secretary Shaw
went to New York 10 do the sitting,
or rather, the standing, for the picture
represents him standing, with his
hands in his pockets, a characteristic
attitude, 1t Is said by those who know
that the regular price for such a pic
ture by Chartran is $4,000, but that
while he worked the secretary rea-
soned with him regarding this matter
and that at one time he had the artist
scaled down TO $500 The artist at
this point happened to ask a question
as to who was to pay for the picture
whether it was the secretary himself
or the government On being inform-
ed that the investment was to be met
with government funds Chartran deft-
IL touched his brush TO one Of the eyes
he was painting to give it the faintest
semblance OF a wink and Immediately
raised his price $500
There was some question in the mind
Of the secretary after Chartran had
delivered the quick production In oil
whether or not the pose, with each
hand in a trousers pocket, was exactly
dignifed attitude for a cabinet min
lister. This the secretary quickly dis
PEELED, however, with the exclamation,
"Well, my hands were not In the peck

Measurements have been made Of the
portrait since it was delivered, and al
though it was executed without the
aid of d single measurement II Is found
to correspond exactly to life size.
/ There Is not variation in any Of the
lines in this respect. The picture was
done in three sittings, and it took just
an hour longer to 60 over it with the
finishing oils. The only fault that can
be found with the likeness is just the
suggestion Of severity, caused by the
addition of a single horizontal wrinkle
between the eyes, This wrinkle the
secretary does not confess to, and be-
fore suitable frame is selected for
the portrait a smoothing out in this re
spect win be made.

WHY THEY PUSH IT.
The Red Cross Pharmacy Recommends
and Pushes Mi-o-na, the Dys-
pepSia Remedy.

"Irs a pleasure 70 sell a medicine when
our customers come in afterwards and tell
MS how much good it has done them, said
Mr. Rickert the popular druggist, to a
Times man, and that is why we like to
sell and recommend Mona, the dyspep-
STA remedy.
The distribution of samples that we
made created so much talk and so large a
proportion Of those who received a sample
have bought a box Of Mi-o-na that our
clerks have been busy selling the medicine
ever since.
We have 50 much faith in this article
that we are going to guarantee it in the
future, and will return the money to any
purchaser of Mic ma whom it does not
cure. That may seem rash but our Gus
toners have said so many good words in
its favor that we do not expect to have
many packages returned.
Anyone who has dyspepsia, whose
food does not digest well, who has to take
thought as TO what he can eat, and when.
can leave 80 cents on deposit at our store
and take home a box of Mi-o-na and II
the remedy does not regulate his digestion
and cure his dyspepsia, he can withdraw
his money. / don't know but what we
would be willing to pay him interest.
This shows great faith in the merit Of
Mona 1t is really a most unusual
medicine and the rapid increase in sales
since the Red Cross Pharmacy introduced
it in Barre shows that it does all that il
claims to do--cures dyspepsia, regulates
digestion and enables those who use it te
eat Just what they want and when they
want with no fear Of trouble.

WARREN WARNS UP.

wyoming senator Practices For
Mountain Ride with President
Senator Warren Of Wyoming, after
several weeks practice riding at Hot
Springs, Va. has gone west TO prepare
for the ride with President Roosevelt
from Laramie to Cheyenne on May so,
says the Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Excepting
the trip through the Yellowstone park,
this proposed horseback ride over the
mountains in Wyoming will be the
most enjoyable feature of the western
tour. The president is a good rider and
he thoroughly enjoys riding across
country.
He has let the cowboys have a large
part in the arrangements for his en-
tertainment while in Wyoming. and
they have arranged their plans more
in harmony with Mr. Roosevelts
personal ideas Of recreation than with
d view to entertaining the president of
the United States. The president viii
leave the train at Laramie, mount his
horse and ride over the mountains to
Cheyenne.
The western cowboys had arranged
to ride with him and give him big
and old fashioned escort In this ride,
but that plan was not approved, and
Senator Warren and one or two 9TH
ers will be the only companions in this
all day ride. 1t viii be long ride
measured by the standards Of pleasure
riding in the east. for the distance IS
nearly sixty miles by the railroad and
considerably more by the old overland
road which the president will follow,
This old road was the way the miners
and other overland travellers went be-
fore the days Of the transcontinentA
railroads. and it passes over the CONT
mental divide at an elevation Of nearly
10000 feet The railroad has found a
lower level for getting over the divide,
but the president will ride over sher-
man hill, which is the highest point in
that region
He will start from an elevation Of
1000 feet at Laramie, rise to an eleya-
ton of nearly 10000 feet at the crest
of the mountain and then descend to
6,000 feet at Cheyenne. Senator War
rem insists that this will be the most
delightful part Of the presidents tour,
because it will give him an all day
ride through some Of the finest scenery
in this country, scenery not appreei-
ated or viewed from the railroad, and
/ that it will give the president com
prehensive picture Of the possibilities
Of irrigation in the mountain region
OF Wyoming and also Of grazing and
ranch life.
! This ride would tax the strength Of
any ordinary man from the east but
the president has lived the life Of the
plains and the mountains and Senator
Warren says that ride Of 100 miles
there is only pleasant scamper for a
days outing But the big Wyoming
senator has taken the precaution tc
prepare for this scamper by giving sew
