Yet she had to get up and eat her
breakfast at six o'clock every morn
ing, for her dinner came between
eleven and twelve. They used to say
of her that she ate so much and SO
slowly that F1arks already cooked
ought to fly into her mouth" She
ate supper at five o'clock, and very
likely was popped into bed before
seven, as wax candles were very cost
ly and the houses we're dark.
What do you fancy she had for her
dinner9 Larks, they say, but she
never had even heard of a potato,
for not till a century later did they
become at all common in France. She
had pease when she could get them,
and vegetables and fruits grown in
some of the royal gardens. China
oranges were a great rarity. She
ate a good deal of sailed meat, for,
having very little ice, the meat could
be preserved only by sailing it. Tea
was little known, and though choco-
late was first introduced about 1860,
people were afraid of it for many
years. They thought it induced sick
ness.
To amuse herself little Marie blew
bubbles with a straw split at the
end. She had her soapy water in a
shell, because even in a palace china
and porcelain dishes were costly and
rare. They we're brought from the
Orient. The celebrated mandatory
at Sevres was not founded till 1856.
She never ran and threw her arms
about her mothers neck and kissed
her, but made a deep curtsy, said
madame" and kissed only the hands
of her parents on those rare oc-
casions when she CHANGED to see them.
When she was i'll, drugs bought
from a man who knew nothing of
medicine were given her, or she was
bled by a barber, an operation costing
about thirty cents.
Who would change places with lit
tie Marie? Who would return to the
days when there were no steamships
or engines, no telegraphs or tele-
phones, no p~ostofices, no paved and
lighted streets, not many books or
well managed schools, nor homes
warm and bright, even to have lived
in a palace,such as a palace was there
hundred years ago?
Not I, and not you, I am sure

Five Responsible Witnesses to Swear
He Was Miles Away.

Saco, Me, May 2f.-Arthur S. Lane, the
cd in Standish. Friday, by State Dctec-
tive Bassett of Norway, charged with the
murder of Miss Olive ii. Broad, a Cornish
woman, has been confined in the Saco po
lice station since late that night, when
he was brought here by Deputy Sheriff
Aver. The young man will be confined
in the city prison until the preliminary
hearing in Cornish, Friday.
He is one of the most contcnted per-
sons that ever occupied a CELL has good
appetite and sleeps well. THE most that
bothers me- said the accused murderer

QUEEN OF FLEET.
Reliance Again Proves Herself
the Fastest Ahoat.
Leads Columbia and Constitution Two
Miles in Drifting Match.
Lipton's Fleet to Be Given Great Send i
off on Sailing.

New York, May 24.-In a most fluky
race, Saturday, that turned out to be
no race, the Reliance showed that she
is the superior of either the Constitu-
ton or the Columbia.
In this estimate conditions have to be
taken into account. The first leg of the
race was no test practically, although
when all three We're sailing in the same
breezes at the tsart the Reliance rapidly
pulled away from both the Constitution
and the Columbia.
The Constitution lost some distance
by poor judgment in the sails set, but
it is likely that had the right sails been
used the Reliance would have pulled
away from her just the same.
On the second leg they We're sailing
in the same strength of breeze, about
five knots, and the Reliance gained on
both of them. On the last leg the Re-
lance was favored by getting the
breeze first, but when all We're getting
it the same she still continued to pull
away.
| She was some distance from the fin
Fish line when she gave up, and with the
extra distance to be travelled it is likely
that she would have beaten the Column
bia by at least as much as she did on
Thursday.
1t has been shown that in the condi-
tons sailed so far, from a little more
than nothing to 10 knots. she is the
superior of any cup defender yet built.
What she can do in more than this
remains to be seen, but it has been
shown that the faster the wind blows
the faster she goes.

RAW ALCOHOL GIVEN
CHILDREN.
Free Alcohol In Liquid
Kidney Remedies.
No Chance Of Alcohol in Kidney Wort
Tablets.

The purest alcohol is a wicked thing
to give to children. 1t cunts their
growth
Cheap alcohol, such as is used in
liquid kidney remedies to make them
keep" is worse, ard alcohol of any
sort when there is kidney weakness is 4
terrible blunder, whether for a child or
for a grown-up person.
Mothers who give their children
LIQUID kidney remedies for bed-wetting
and kidney disease or who take such
remedies themselves, cannot know
that free crude alcohol is a large in
g:edient of these remedies, and that al
oohol causes more Bright's disease th,,n
all natural causes put together.
BY taking a remedy in tablet form
you avoid any chance of inflaming your
kidneys with alcohol. DR.. Pettingills
KidneyWort Tablets are used in chill
dren's hospitals and in the best
equipped dispensaries because they
contain no alcohol-a serious objection
in the mind of every physician to the
use of liquid kidney remedies.
Kidney trouble irritates the nerves,
makes one dizzy, restless, sleepless and
irritable. 1t makes one pass water
often during the day, and Obliges one
to get up many times during the night

toms and many more warn one to stop

HE DENIES GUILT.
Lane Says He Will Be Able to Prove
an Abb.

Portland, Me-, May 24.-The Sunday
Times, today, in special story from
Buxton, says that the substantial citi-
zens of Buxton and Gorham will be on
land in Cornish, next Friday, to defend
the alibi set up by Arthur S. Lane who
is under arrest on a charge of the
murder of Miss Olive II. Broad.
Lane formerly lived here, and though
he has borne a rather unSaVory repu-
tation, and his toWnsmen have no great
love or respect for him, they believe
him innocent of the charge on which he
is now held. Several residents will tes-
tify that they saw and talked with
him here, more than 20 miles from Cor
nish, the very afternoon that Miss
Broad was dragged into the Cornish
woods, shot and robbed.
When Lane was suspected, shortly
after the murder, the York county pros
ccuting officers at work on the case
came here and satisfied themselves that
he was not Il murderer. Today
reporter who has been familiar with
the developments of the murder inves-
tigation drove over the route which
Lane claims to have ridden on a BIZ
cycle, Aug. 90 the day of the murder,
and located nine persons whose testi-
nony ought to be of service to the pris-
oner Four of them are not positive
in regard to the date, though their
statements corroborate his in every
other particular. Five persons, outside
the family of the accused man; state
positively that the day he visited Cor
ham and Buxton was Aug. 20, the sec
ond day of the Cornish fair.
Perhaps the most important of these
are George Cressey, VIM. Parker and
the latter's two sons. Mr.. Parker owns
large farm on the direct road from
Baldwin to Groveville village, the road
Lane claims to have ridden over on
his brothers bicycle on the day in
question. Mr.. Parker says he knows
it was the second day of the Cornish
fair, for his two boys went to the fair
that day and stayed so long that he
worried about them. The younger one
made the 20-mile trip on his bicycle
Il was in front of my house about 715
that evening"" Mr.. Parker said "and
l saw a man coming on bicycle, from
the direction of Groveville village. He
spoke to me and 1 went out to see who
mounted and l asked him where he was
going. He said that he was headed
for his home in Baldwin. l told him
wouldn't ride his wheel to Baldwin
for more than it's value. He replied
that he had come down from Baldwin
that morning. He told me about visit
ing Gorham village"
George Cressey, an honest appearing
young farmer who lives half mile
from Parkers, is positive about the
Gate. He didn't see Lane, but Mr.
Cressey had his initiatory degrees in
Saco Valley Lodge of Odd Fellows, the
night of Wednesday. Aug. 20. He says
he intended going to the lodge with
Parker. but was n little late in reach
ing Parker's house. Parker was stand

his voice as though exulting in his

bitterly assailed modern society as the
cause of all evil, declaring he only
attempted to take the life of the king
