1t might be a good thing if an agent
for the society of the long name would
visit Augusta now and then to look
over the derelict horses which some
times make their appearance on the
city streets. This section of Kennebec
County has been pretty well cleansed
of that class of horseflesh, thanks to
the efforts of l. H. Purinton of Bow
doinbam. but once in awhile one will be
noticed that is pitiful to behold. An in
stance of this kind was seen, yesterday.
A man drove up Oh Commercial street,
with a poor. old horse which was so
thin that it had almost to stand twice
in place to cast a shadow and tieing
him to a light pole. went down town.
Tho old horse showed signs of weakness
when in motion. but when he was made
fast to the post his strength seemed to
| forsake him altogether and he simply
| laid down in the mud and water, where
| ne rested until his owner came back
and after some trouble, got him up. 1t
| was a good example of the lack of re-
gard which man sometimes has for
dumb animals.

CURES CATARRH
"Hyornci tho Most Wonderful Cure for
Catarrh Ever Discovered" Say Bow
ditch & Webster, and Percy w.
Means.

DO not try to cure catarrh by TAX
inc drugs into the stomach: it cannot
be- cured in that manner. The only
way in which this too common disease
can be cured is through direct appli-
cation that will kill the bacilli OF ca.
tarrh and prevent their growth
of treatment that aCcomplishes this
1t is the simplest. most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarr
that has ever been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimonials
have been received from the most
prominent men and women in the
country who have been cured by this
remarkable remedy. Ministers, bank
ers, lawyers. even eminent physicians
have given strong testimonials as to
the remarkable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.0O, consisting of an inhaler. dropper
and sufficient Hyomei to last several
weeks. This will effect a cure in ordi-
nary cases, but for chronic and deep
seated cases OF catarrh, longer use may
be necessary, and then extra bottles of
Hyomei can be obtained for SOC. 1t is
not alone the best lit might be called
the only method of curing catarrh, but
it is also the most economical.
Rowditch & Webster and Percy W.
Means have so much confidence in the
power of Hyomei to cure catarrh, that
they will for limited time, sell this
medicine under their personal guaran-
tee to refund the money if the purchas-
ers canasay that it did not help them.

MRS. M'CARTER'S NEW BOOK
s'The Cottonwood's Story Has a
Western Atmosphere.

Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter of To-
peka has written a new holiday book
which will be issued by Crane & Com
pany next week. Mrs. McCarter's book
of last year, published under the title
"Cuddy,' made such a pronounced hit
that She has given to the world some
thing more pretentious and at the same
time quite as unique as her former
production.
THE Cottonwood's Story is the title
of the new book. It is certainly the
best thing that Mrs. McCarter has done
in her literary work. 1t abounds in
eloquent and finished descriptions so
delightfully."- and characteristically
western that the reader will feel the
breath of the wind swept prairie on
his cheek.
It is the story of tree and a boy
and the theme is so novel and delicate
ly handled that one is quite as much
interested in the fortunes of the old
cottonwood as in Sam and his ambi-
lions.
Mrs. McCarter must have met and
known the shiftless family of the from
tier for her picture of Sam and his
parents is fresh with vigor and life.
Here is a glimpse Of Sam and his
folks
Sam was a happy brownie, but when
he had worn out all of the games ne
could invent he would come running to
me with outstretched hands and nestle
down among my thin branches. Then
he would cry foolish tears that didn't
know why they came. You see that
bend up there in my big right arm?
1t just fitted Sans head when he
curled himself up like a cat on the
limbs. I have always loved children.
1t is the business of trees to do that,
but I was younger then. and little
brown Sam was the only child I knew
was especially fond OF him, for he
was my first love. He told me all his
secrets, and I came to know as much
of the inside of that dugout as if I had
lived in it. The folks we're very poor.
and in the nippy winter weather they
were often cold and hungry. But they
wasted the fine summer days when
crops grow for the mere cultivation;
so they just managed to live from year
to year, contented when they were COM
Portable and growing when they
weren't. Only Sam had a child's heart
sickness that nobody knew of except
myself"
And this: sgThey burrowed into the
earth and made home for themselves,
and covered it over with prairie sod
and called it a dugout They scratched
little at the rich soil, and corn and
weeds grew together in the scratches.
They fished and trapped, and in the
hot summer days they lay where my
shadows covered them. and slept
away the hours. They we're a trif1ing
lot, the breezy West Wind thought.
and they talked much of going back
home to Missouri; but they never
went"
No one can fail to be interested in
Sans struggle to secure an education,
even if he never gets to be president
and not even goes to congress. It is
all well told. and while his love affair
with Nellie is much like other love
affairs the reader is not surfeited with
it's details and it is touched but lightly.
The author makes an effort to teach a
lesson but it is merely incidental 50
that while it stands out iEividly in the
mind of the reader he does not feel

ALL THEIR OWN WAY.
Germany Will Not Object to Austria
Russia Programme.

Berlin. Dec. 5.-Referring to the Lon
don report that Germany may object
to the proposition of Russia and Aus
tria for an International administration
of Macedonia on the plan of the pres
emit government of Crete, the foreign
office here said today that on the con-
trary Germany had done all in her
power to secure the acceptance and en-
forcement of the Muerseteg pro-
gramme which remains the basis of
Russo-Austrian action. These powers.
it is added, had arranged the pro-
gramme to suit their own interests
above all. ard it can not be supposed
that they have altered the same into
an international administration similar
to that of Crete to suit other powers.
The foreign office also referred to
Chancellor Won Buelow's speech at the
opening of the reichstag, saying that
Germany had consistently done every
thing possible to prevent serious com
