Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet it
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something over
which you have no control it is obvious
that worrying will not help the matter in
the least. On the other hand, if within
your control you have only to act. When
you have a cold and fear an attack OF
pneumonia, buy bottle of Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy and use it judiciously and
all cause for worry as to the outcome will
quickly disappear. There is no danger
of pneumonia when it is used. For sale

Teachers Have Authority To Punish
Pupils.

Pupils.
Judge Holland, of Salisbury, in
a recent case which was before him,
growing out of the punishment of q
pupil by public school teacher,
rendered it as his opinion that a
teacher had sole authority over
pupils in the school room, and
could exercise that authority so
long as the punishment was not
unmerciful or inhuman. The
Judge made it clear that the teach
er stood in the position of the pars
ent in the matter of correcting a
disobedient pupil. Judge Holland
said that parents should uphold the
teachers in their efforts to maintain
order in the school,

Rounding Up
Her 400 UiLd Men.

AUGUSTA, Me-. July 8.-Years and
years ago three families. the Browns.
Tuttles and Bubiers, drifted far up
into the Maine woods and settled in
the wilderness of northern Somerset.
For some time they kept in touch
with the outer world and then their
visits ceased and their existence was
forgotten. In time civilization made
it's way through tho forests and the
descendants Of the three last families
were found. For years they had
married and intermarried and had SO
disregarded the laws OF nature and
society that they had degenerated
into a condition far worse than I'M
mails and almost without a language.
They lived in the woods. but made
a slight pretense at farming and for
houses they lived in caves or rude
shacks. When the settlers came into
the neighborhood the wild men"
looked upon them as legitimate prey
and they stole their crops and stock.
and. indeed. anything they could
carry. whenever they had a. chance.
They are extremely cunning and It
has been almost impossible to entrap
them. They often fight among them
selves, but even murder can not be
avenged by the law because of the in
ability to either arrest or get evidence
against the murderer.
