Aroo:took wants more houses. This
is the cry in all the larger towns, and
particularly in Houlton and Pressure
Isle. Why has not this demand been
met? The Presque Isle Star-Herald
says that no doubt a partial explana-
ton is to be found in the extremely
high price of labor and building ma
terials of all kinds. A further reason
may perhaps be found in the fact that
building in other directions than dwell
lings tied up nearly all the available
skilled labor for building purposes. But
if Aroostook is to continue to grow and
prosper-as no doubt it will-the de-
mand for dwellings must be met, despite
the cost of material and the scarcity Of
skilled labor.

A chiefs been amang us takin' notes,
and, faith, he's prented them. c. d.
Smead, v s., of Logan, New York, has
been "up in Maine among the farmers
and writes to the New York Tribune
of the old State of Maine, how its peo-
pie, its products and its capabilities
look to New Yorker. The picture he
presents is most flattering one. He
says that while Maine possesses "some
of the finest farming land that the
Stars and Stripes float over" this is
is not generally known because most
of the people who come here from
abroad come to fish and hunt:
In no State can be found soil capa-
BILE of producing more cereal crops than
Maine. In fact, nutritious grasses
find growing even in the very poorer
parts OF the country, and capable Of
pasturing cows and sheep equal to any
/ find in our especial dairy sections Of
New York. When l get back from
the coast find apple orchards equal to
those of western New York or Ohio or
Michigan | find in Aroostook County
the greatest area of clover and natural
potato land in the United States. 1t is
true there are forests and wild land in
Maine: but it follows also that there is
wealth Astounding in them: AS grass
growing and livestock State l never in
the broad West have seen the equal to
it. Near the seaboard, with the ever
ready steam and electric railroad to
carry it's products to the nearby great
marts of the world, wherein is the
sense of the young man seeking the
prairies of the West, to mingle with a
people who, although good, are not of
his kind?
OF our farm buildings DR.. Smead
says: In no other State l have ever
travelled and I have travelled in
many-do find the farm buildings so
good as in the State of Maine, not even
excepting my own State of New York"
He finds neatness prevailing from the
coast to the very frontier along the
dense forest, and not log house any
where. Here he enters vigorous pro-
test against the representation of
Maine at the st. Louis Exposition by a
log cabin, and says; "Were | resident
of Maine | should pray God in His
wisdom to send thunderbolt and burn
the thing up the day it was erected on
the St. Louis fair ground" But the
best is yet to come. elm no State"
says DR.. Smead, ''can be found as uni
formly good people as in Maine. That
good old New England stock has re-
NAMED intact, and whether it be on the
coast or on the frontier, we find them

There is no winter, as far as the
wealthy are concerned, for on theil
tables are to be found strawberries
fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and gar
den truck" at Christmas time as well
as III summer, says the New York cor
respondent of What to Eat. Some OF
the statistics of what comes to this
market are surprising. The great gar.
den land of the South pours its trophies
into New York at the rate of 12,0O0,-
600 quarts of Strawberries from the
Caroinas alone, and 100000 crates of
vegetables from the South. California
sends 200, 100000 pounds of fresh fruit,
and Florida sends large quantity.
Spring chickens raised in incubators
and hot house lambs are in the market
for those who can afford to buy them,
and flowers in profusion for decorative
purposes bloom the year around.

| ing, Dec. 18th, the Christian Endeavor SOcie
ty connected with the Baptist church had an
entertainment in Union Hall, called q
"Measuring Party" The admission fee
was five cents foot, thus the tall people
had to pay more than the short ones. AS
they entered they were escorted to the
mea surfing boards in the centre of the hall
and fares collected. This afforded quite a
little amusement. Then followed nice
literary program, consisting of music, read
ing and gramaphone. Refreshments were
served free at the close. Nearly $50 were
realized. Il. Loranus F. Pendleton returned
Dec. 4th from hunting expedition with
two fine deer. -. Misses Adelaide Hatch,
Efie B. Hatch, Katharine Durgin aud Caro-
Parker, who have been teaching in other
towns, returned recently and are enjoying a
short vacation at their homes. -. The pub

after a Thanksgiving recess. Business
is quite dull this winter. Three bust
ness blocks and three cottages comprise
most of the building in town this season.
George II. Wilbur, who has for years
employed large crew of men on his mason
work, discharged all but one a few days
ago, having no further contracts. -. Frank

California, inform their friends here that
they are having all enjoyable time, Mrs.
Maria Hatch, who has been the efficient
clerk of the Baptist church for quite num-
Der of years, recently resigned on account
of absence from home. At the monthly
conference and business meeting of the
church Saturday evening, Nov. 2Sth, Mrs.
Loranus F. Pendleton was chosen in her
place. The almost general vaccination Of
the town has caused good deal of sick
ness, both among the children and grown
people. Among the latter, Edward Tehan,
Rev. George f. Tufts and Rev. H. C. Hull
were each shut in few days.. Capt Win
field S. Pendleton is making an addition to
his house and enlarging his cellar prepara-

Down in Maine they evidently prefer
drunkenness and prohibition to a Ii
cense law and sobriety.-Portsmouth
Herald.
Portsmouth is too near Maine for
such an utterly groundless statement
to be put forth by a reputable news
paper. The people of Maine prefer
sobriety to drunkenness, as shown by
their votes many times. The implied
assertion that there is nc drunkenness
where license prevails is also untrue.

There is more Catarrh in this section of

stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has prov

TO ALL cARARRH SUFFERERS.
HyOmei Guaranteed to Cure by r. H

Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure by r. H.
Moody or Money Refunded.
The popularity and increase in the sales
of Hyomei are unique in the annals of
medicine Such astonishing cures have
been made by this remarkable remedy that
the proprietors have authorized R. H.
Moody to sell every package of Hyomei
under an absolute guarantee that it will
cure catarah. If it does not, the purchaser
can have his money refunded by R. II.
Moody
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. 1t is the
only method of treatment that sends by
direct inhalation to the most remote part
OF the air passages, a balsamic air that de-
stIpys all catarrhal germs in the breathing
organs, enriches and purifes the blood with
additional ozone, and makes permanent and
complete cures of catarrh.
The complete Hy0mei outfit costs but
81 90 and consists of an inhaler that can be
carried in the vest pocket, medicine drop
per and bottle of HyOmei. The inhaler
lasts lifetime, and if one bottle does not
cure, an extra bottle of HyOmei can be OBJ
tanned for so cents. 1t is the most econOm-
ical of all remedies advertised for the cure
of catarrh, and is the only one that follows
nature in her method of treating diseases
of the respiratory organs.
Breathe through the inhaler for few
minutes four times a day and your catarrh
is cured. That's all.
If not cured r. H. Moody will refund
your money.

Clothing VS.. Personality.

A few years ago when the physical
culture fad first bewitched femininity.
we were all congratulating ourselves
that. as a result of wider education
and opportunities, woman was becom-
| ing more sensible and had freed her
/ self from the shackles of Fashion. 1t
was confidently predicted that she
would never again submit to narrow
high heeled shoes, dragging skirts or
tight corsets. She rode the bicycle,
took long walks, played outdoor games,
went bareheaded in the sunshine and
wore plain loose clothing
Alas, it was but fad! She has sold
her wheel, sports weary her. mannish
styles have gone out, high heeled shoes
are coming in with a decided rush,
while several women are suffering
physical injury from their use, and
women have for months been sweep
ing the streets with their trailing
skirts or else appearing, like draped

surplus skirt lengths in one hand.
Among the masses of them one does
not hear anything nowadays about
dress reform. OF course there are sem
sible women who protest against these
harmful fashions and refuse to con-
form to them except in compromise.
An eminent foreign physician who has
been investigating the trailing street
gown subject, declares that disease
germs of various kinds are brought in
to our homes on the skirts of our wo-
men and brushed off there, into the air |
we must breathe. But all these pro-
tests and demonstrated facts have no |
practical effect with the average wo-
man.
What women need to understand is
that distinctive clothing" as the ad-
vertisers say, does not make the per-
son distinctive. Ones clothing never
wins friends for one, gains influence or
power, or a mans love. At most 1t
may excite little passing admiration
Or envy. True distinction rests in
Many of the most
women the world has known,
who have moulded men and events as
hey would, have been not only plain of
face but absolutely "dowdy" in dress.
This does not prove that beauty and
attractive dress are not desirable, but ;
[ does show that woman's real power
md charm lie, not in these, but in her I
,wn personality.
1t is not at all worth while for us to !
Tex and torture ourselves with these {
fashions. While we are
Icing it, opportunities for real happi- :
less and gain, which perhaps will new I,
r come to us again, are slipping by us :

How to Keep It Out Of the Paper.
Mort hfiald News

Don't put it in the paper" is one of
newspapers at all times. These re-
quests have been more frequent since
the license law went into effect and
come from parties who have just set
tied a little bill in the police court for
having been drunk-and caught at It.
So far as this journal is concerned 1t
is most dsagreeable duty to publish
such items when the participant has
enough sense of shame over the results
of his spree to wish to keep his name
out of print. But police news is legiti-
mate news and every subscriber pays
for his paper with the tacit under
standing that he shall be furnished
with all the news so far as the editor
can reasonably obtain it. Therefore 1t
would be a breach of faith with the
subscribers to omit the police reports
or any part of them. however much
the editor might wish to do so out OF
sympathy for a human weakness.
When the matter is placed in this true
light every reasonable person must see
that it is impossible to grant request
to keep a legitimate item of news out
of the local newspaper. There is one
sure and effectual way for person to
keep his name from disagreeable
item in the police court doings. and
that is to keep sober: and the time to
think about avoiding it is while he Is
sober.

The other day the president had a

was called a naval review or parade.
1t cost several hundred thousand dol

never done before and we hope it will
never be done again. We are not
among those who regard the mainten-'
ance of an army and navy as use
less expense, nor do we object to nee
essary maneuvers for practice, how
ever costly, but when nearly half a
million of dollars is expended, which
comes from the peoples pockets, mere
ly to give the president and his family
a spectacular entertainment, we are
reminded of the boy who wrote COM

When the Battle Wa. Named.

bennington Banner and Reformer.1
Hoosick Falls historians claim that
the Battle of Bennington was not so
named until many years after the
event. The facts are these: Gen. Stark
was made a brigadier general by the
Continental congress Oct. 4. 1877. on
account of his Bennington victory
John Hancock. the president Of the
Continental congress, in transmitting
to Gen. Stark the next day this action
of the congress, uses the following
language; 1T is with the greatest OF
pleasure I transmit the enclosed re-
solve Of Congress expressing the
thanks of that body to you and the Of
ficers and troops under your command
for the signal victory you obtained
over the enemy in the late battle Of
Bennington" Vermont was not rep
resented in that congress but New
York was.

Each in His Own Tongue.

A fire mist and a planet
A crystal and a cell
A jelly-fish and a saurian
And cave where the cave-men dwell:
Then a sense of law and beauty.
And face turned from the clod,
Some call it Evolution
And others call it God.
A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite, tender sky,
The ripe, rich tint of the corn-fields
And the wild geese sailing high
And all over upland and lowland
The charm of the golden-rod,
Some of us call it Autumn
And others call it God.
Like tides on a crescent sea-beach.
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come yelling and surging in
Come from the mystic ocean.
Whose rim no foot has trod-
Some of us call it Longing
And others call it God.
A picket frozen on duty
A mother starved for her brood
Socrates drinking the hemlock
And Jesus on the rood:
And millions who, humble and mama
less,
rhe straight hard pathway trod-
Some call it Conservation
And others call it God.
