LONG AGO.

| once knew all the birds that came
And nested in our orchard trees;
For every flower l had a name
MY friends were woodchucks. toads and
bees;
| knew where thrived in yonder glen
What plants would so0the stone-bruiSed
toe
Oh, l was very learned then
But that was very long ago.
I knew the spot upon the hill
Where checkerberres could be found;
| knew the ruSheS near the mill
Where pickerel lay that weighed pound !.
l knew the wood-the very tree
Where lived the poaching, saucy crow,
And all the woods and crows knew me-
But that was very long ago.
And, pining for the joys of youth,
| tread the old familiar spot,
Only to learn this solemn truth:
| have forgotten, am forgot
Yet here's this youngster at my knee
Knows all the things l used to know;
To think | once was wise as he.
But that was very long ago.
/ know it's folly to complain
OF whatsoever the Fates decree;
Yet, were not wishes all in vain,
| tell you what my wish should be:
I'd wish to be boy again,
Back with the friends | used to know;
For l was, oh. . so happy then
But that was very long ago.

ON rHE BELFAST BRANCH.
A glance At the waldo County Products that

A glance at the waldo County Products that
20 to market by Rail.
A trip between Belfast and Waterville on
the freight train presided over by Conduc-
tor Emery Cook will show that the products
of Waldo county are not only varied In
character but large in quantity. The Bel
fast branch extends from Belfast to Burn
ham Junction, "a miles. but the freight
trains in charge of Conductor Cook run to
Waterville on the Kennebec, IL miles De-
yond. In common with other sections OF
the Maine Central system the Belfast
branch is undergoing repairs and improve
ments, New sleepers have been laid on long
sections. and much of the branch has re-
ceived additional ballast. New stone cul-
yerts are being put in at Winnecook bridge
at Unity Pond, and new freight platforms
have been built at Waldo and Unity. The
carpenters, in charge of N. E. Smith, have
heoun a renovation of the buildings and
n,atforms in Belfast, and will replank the
wharf.
Everybody who rides over the Belfast
branch realizes that it is very crooked
piece of road, yet few know that In going
the "a miles they are lifted $50 feet ABOVE
tide water and then dropped back TO $50
feet elevation. A profile view OF the road
shows a gradual rise, with an occasional
drop, from Belfast station, which is within
a few feet of tide water, to the "summlt'" -"
between Brooks and Knox Inc totai
"climb," allowing for the distance lost IN
few short drops during the ascent, is over
900 feet. The distances and elevations OF
the various stations and the summit are as
follows.

Troubles of Childhood.
Worms, the Often Unsuspected Cause of
Children's Ills.

Worms, the Often Unsuspected Cause of
Children's Ills.
If mothers fully realized the extent to
which worms affect the health and dispo-
sition of children, many child that is
scolded and punished for peevishness, and
doctored and doped for biliousness. or any
one of half a dozen other imaginary all
ments, would be treated along entirely diff
ferent lines. On the other hand, many
mothers, while understanding, the cause of
the trouble, regard it, like cutting teeth, as
one of the natural and unavoidable con-
dtions of childhood.
This is all wrong. The presence of worms
or any other parasite in the human body is
an unnatural condition that can be prompt
" remedied. For more than half century
True's Pin Worm Elixir, purely vegetable
compound prepared by DR.. j. F. True 4
Co., of Auburn, Maine, has been used with
UNQUALIFIED success, and thousands OF chill
dren and adults afflicted with worms have
been restored to health by its use. 1t is also
a certain remedy for the common complaints
of childhood, such as feverishness, costive-
ness, sour stomach, and indigestion.
A valuable booklet on diseases of chill
dren, which should be in the hands Of
every mother, will be sent free to any ad-
dress on request to DR.. j. F. True & Co..
Auburn, Me.

A Large Order.

Probably the largest order ever given for
paint in the State Of North Carolina, was
Received by the Odell Hardware Co. of
Greensboro, n. c., from W. A. Irwin, Esq,
The order was for 5000 gallons Of Devoe
lead-and-zinc paint, to be used on the large
Irwin Mills and their cottages now being
built in Hartnett County.
Many Of the leading paint manufacturers
were eager to secure this order. and II
speaks volumes that the preference was
efyen to Devoe lead-and-zinc, which is un.
aonhtedly the foremost paint in this country
