How can we prolong life? That is tho
question that interests every human being
1t Is well that we do not know when the
hour of death will come. Most of us would
certainly be very miserable If we knew
that we must die Tomorrow. next week,
next year or five yeats hence. The fact
IL, we sc on acting as though we expected
to live forever. we can scarcely conceive
that it may be our turn next. Tell any
man that he must die 4 month from to-
day and you transform his whole nature
1t would make 4 vicious man gentle; 1t
would make the selfish man generous; it
would make the cruel merciful: the liar
would suddenly become truthful, and all
that is gentle and sweet in a persons
nature would manifest itself. My object
In writing this article is TO show that
when men are confronted with the truth
and brought to bay with facts and condi-
tons from which there is no escape they
for the first time fully realize the respon-
siblities they owe to themselves, to so
ciety. their families and their God. which
is birth into new lie: a realization of L
new existence; Il stepping out OF an evil
nature into moral and spiritual one.
Now, 1 want 10 bring out forcibly this
ourselves and humanity. We must give 10
the world the best that is in US. We must
endeavor to discharge our obligations one
to another, that We shall find pleasure
in doing for others. III relieving the dis
tressed, ir aiding the needy and upbuiid-
Ing good morals and good government No

who is dyspepiic or who is suffering with
any form of nervousness.

our minds, dwarf our capabilities and

Gov. and Mrs Burleigh and Miss
Ethelyn Burleigh were the guests of
Senator and Mrs. Hale on Thanks
giving Day. There was a substantial
Maine feast, which was heartily en-
joyed by all present.
Capt. Sumner l. Kimball, superin-
tendent of the Life Saving Service,
has prepared some figures showing the
operations of the life savers along the
Maine coast during the last fiscal year.
His figures cover the first district,
which includes the coasts of Maine and
New Hamps hire. There were SO dis
asters on those coasts during the year,
of which seven resulted in the total
loss of the vessels. On board these 63
vessels were 573 persons, but only one
of them was lost, while 40 were sue
cored at the life-saving stations ada
cent. The value of property lost was
S1S9,44 and the value of property
saved was 5000, $50. The total value of
property involved, therefore, was sS79,-
775, of which STAG, 795 represented the
value of vessels and Sl32,9S0 was the
value of their cargoes.
