The Trip to the ReadficId Fair.

Editors Kenncbec journal:
y The responsibility for the delay in
transporting people from MaranocoOh
landing to Readiicld fair grounds. last
week. is not to be charged in any way
to the Electric Road. and l am very
glad of the opportunity to set the Of
ficials right before the readers of the
Journal. The secretary OF the society,
Mr.. j. II. Moore authorized the pub
LEGATION through the press and hand
bills of the announcement of rates
hours and number of boats, also that
one of the boats would be in waiting
on the arrival of the cars leaving Au-
eusta at ESQ, $50 and $50 A. NJ. each
day. Fearing something might hap
pen, | went to Winthrop, two days be-
fore the fair opened and saw Mr.
Moore the result of the conference be-
ing that he was to SEQ the captain of
each boat the following day and
make certain the transportation over
the lake. II the owners of the boats
failed to comply with their contract
the society is surely the loser. Justice
to Supt Taylor and the officials of the
Electric Road requires that facts be
stated and the road relieved from all
responsibility over and above trans
portation to and from Maranocook
landing.

Paine's Celery
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does It's terrible work
in the muscles, Joints, and tissues, is caused By
urc acid which gathers in the blood. To get
nd Of this poisonous acid which produces the
intaiions, pains, agonies, inaammaiions, and
swellings peculiar 10 rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should he used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. i Is the only
medicine that prevents return Of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared OF all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
mp, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use OF Paine's
Celery Compound viii save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. 5. ID. Conway,
ST. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured by
Paine's Celery Compound after repeated fail
ures with other medicines and physicians; he
says;-
Il am o. years Of age, and have lived in
St. Louis ~ years, and all this time with the
exception OF three years, have served in the
Engineers Department as Inspector. Last
winter contracted rheumatism and was laid
up. | tried all remedies and doctors, but all
failed until struck Paine Celery Compound,
which has made permanent cure IN my case.

have used it with the same result.

THE WORLDS INVENTORS.

pear in the Patent once
Reports.

The patent office statisticians in
form us that Britons are the most in
ventive of all foreigners; that for
the year 1901 the patents issued to
British inventors numbered 999, while
the Germans, in spite. of the advan-
tages Of cheaper drink and quieter
surroundings, come forward with
only 743 inventions,
1t is granted, we believe, says the
Washington Times, that the Yankees
are the leading inventors, and natur-
ally our cousins on the other side are
next in line But we remember that
the Connecticut people are supposed
to be the most inventive Yankees,
whereas Benjamin Franklin was a
Bostonian, and Samuel f. b. Morse
and Elias Howe were New Workers
(as were the less well known but
equally interesting inventors of the
Cardiff Giant; George NJ. Pullman
lived in Cook county, ILL.,, the Maxims
are Maine men, Thomas A. Edison
comes from Ohio, and the world
frighting Gatlin opened his eyes in
Dixie.
Patents tell only a part of the
story. They have nothing to say
about those wonderful airships four

tonian, Samuel Pierpont langley
that always go to smash just before

or about the still more wonderful
perpetual motion machines, or about

to rock and sing the baby to sleep.
The world is yet at the mercy of in

As long as kitchens are carpeted and

/ IN fashioning these now. With many
colored warps TO choose from, and
constantly improving dyestutfs, the
housewife can make a carpet to suit

a pretty hit-or-miss carpet is woven
with q thread Of red crossing al in

some colar the rags one color, and

be light-colored and sewed up hit-or-

passahle brown.
People make mistakes in coloriug
too much. 4 beautiful deft-blue bed
room CARPET can be made Of faded old
blue ginghams and calico, and they ac-
cumulate so fast The silver-gray
dresses are most beautiful in car

A weak solution Of stocking black
diamond dye makes a nice slate color.
But use dark colors sparingly, or cut
them up Well Nothing shows every
chair mark or ravelinr ike that beau
tiful brown. colored with catechu, that
used to form a broad dark stripe in
every carpet.
The stoeking-black Is the only pat
