in the West Indies and the southern part of
this country. 1t was then confused with yell
low fever 1t is also called dandy, bouquet
and bucket fever.

and who lives on one of the finest farms in the
United States, has harvested the largest crop
of white potatoes ever heard of in Delaware
Potato is king throughout lower Delaware and
the Peninsula this year, and the new potatoes
have been in such demand that the early va
rieties have been big money makers. Mr..
Ross gathered and shipped 5000 barrels for
which he received 81, so per barrel, or 81, 500

LYRICS OF THE old STONE CHURCH
No. 6.
HARRIS.

Written for the Democratic Advocate,
By o. c. SHIPLEY.
The poor Old soul came shambling in
One halmy summer afternoon,
Fresh from aunt Betsy's'' filled with gin;
He wahblei like q young walloon
To a front seat and there sat down,
The de4con eyed him with frown.
Aunt Betsy lived little way
From the church lot, where she sold rum,
Ana other buzzari sweat each day
OF the seyeu-yet she would come
To church sometimes, to see "the trash,
But never gave to them her cash.
Poor Harris was a shattered wreck,
Yet some ones darling" once he'd been;
He on his weakness placed no check
The preacher sized him mp and then
Preached at him. to him, with full force.
As one uuwa,h he'll, and lost, of course.
Here he seemed as mnch out of plac,
AS frying pan 'moug hric-a-brsc;
His ishy eyes and bloated face
Calmly endured the parsons whack.
Nor heeded he the deacou'S stare,
But looked ahead wtth nonchalant air.
The sermon done the plate was passed
To gather lucrc for heather ones,
Ia f,r-od lands-a field quite vast.
From Arctic peaks 10 tropic suns.
In front oi Harris a slight pause.
As ii ask can'st help the cause"
Nu old. worn purse forthwith he drew,
Empuc,i It's contents in the Plate;
A soodly sum. as II he knew.
ur Thought. their woes he would alaic.
Perhaps the boys are dry. he Ssii,
Bui don't send rum. ~cud help .iustcad-
The dcacou's froWu changed 20 a smile,
or ghost of one he thought. no doubt.
He'd raked a JACK pot and saved hjs pile g.
He gave for both that lets uir ont.
Chuckuug he said please come again
Perhaps the psrsnn Thought Amen
Olt rIusuty az frulty haits,
As iu tngs ease sud friendship chill,
] tsat Harms with ali his faults,
Wasa creature 0f Gods mercy still
who's - ideuyss none may measure, guess.
ret huyrrs round each life no less.

The vessels built in the Bath district
the past year were: Fourteen Schoon-
ers, barges, steel ship, 2 steamers,
yacht, 5 sloops and l tug. An active
shipbuilder recently remarked that the
year 1908 ought to eclipse 1902, and
should very nearly equal 1900, when
Al ,532 tons were launched, which made
that year one of the record breakers of
the past so years.
President Hyde Of the Bath Iron
Works says at his yard there is work
enough to employ 1000 men for the
next three years, and good prospects for
new contracts.
Kelley, Spear Co. have two four
to build.
The New England Co. have four
masted schooner and a 2, 500 ton barge.
A. Sewall Co. are finishing five
maSted schooner which will go over

WORMS IN CHILDREN
Cause Trouble When Their Presence is Not
Suspected

Cause Trouble When Their Presence is Not
Suspected.
: How often we hear mother say THAT
child eats so much | believe he has worms"
A variable appetite is Immediately SuggeS-
tive of worms. But of the other common
symptoms of worms very few mothers
know ANYTHING. Thousands of children and
adults whose food does not nour!sh them
properly have worms but are treated for
other diseases, because worms can exist
and seriously impair the health for long
time, and all the while the sufferer is being
treated for some other disorder. Recovery
is rapid just as soon as the proper treatment
is given for the removal OF the worms: ,>,o
Signs of worms are indigestion; variable
appetite; foul tongue; offensive breath !;
hard and full belly with occasional grlplngss
and pains about the navel; eyes heavy and
dull itching of the nose; short, dry cough !;
grinding of the teeth starting during Sleep :;
slow fever and often, in children, convul-
siOns. The distress caused by worms varies
greatly in different cases.
Worms are frequently. suspected in cases
where it is impossible for even skillful
physician to make an exact diagnosis, ana
in these cases a harmless remedy can pc
given as test for worms. Since 1851 the
one sure treatment for worms has been Dr.
Trqe's Pin Worm Elixir This s, is ss,vs vegeS, aS
table tonic that removes from the stomach
and intestines the mucous in which worms
thrive, expelling the worms and correcting
the unhealthy condition that gives rise 10
them If no worms are present. Irue's
Elixir does good nevertheless, acting as a
tonic, giving better digestion, purer blood
and consequently increased vitality. This
old-time remedy is used and endorsed by
physicians, hospitals, dispensaries and in
countless homes. 1t is made by DIR. }. +;
True & Company, of Auburn, Maine, and
can be purchased anywhere.

Fair Aroostook.

The Bangor & Aroostook railroad
has issued a finely illustrated pamphlet,
written by the late Clarence Pullen, en-
titled Fair Aroostook. 1t tells of the
attractions and resources of this great
game and garden county of Maine,
gives full account of the farming and
other Industries, and pictures in the
highest terms the beautiful scenery of
the region. The illustrations in half
tone are superb, giving a graphic idea
of the homes and the people of the
broad land. Fort Kent, with its block
house and training school, and the ad-
joining region, the Acadia of Maine,
are we'll illustrated. New Sweden is
pictured and described and the account
ends with an excellent presentation OF
the farming resources of the county.
where thousands and thousands of
bushels of potatoes are yearly raised.

well known newspaper man, a native of

The Boston Herald is now giving very
complete and accurate shipping report,

partment is conducted at great expense and
is kept up to date.
The receipt recently of the holiday issues
of The Coast Seamen's Journal of San Fran
cisco and The Argus of Seattle furnishes
proof that the newspapers of the Pacific
coast are fully up to the times in typ0gra-
ply and illustrations. The view of sunset
at the Golden Gate in the Coast Seamen's
journal is very fine, and this may be said of
the many balf-tones in The Argus.

Quote Prices.

The Importance of quoting prices in
advertising, and particularly in win
dow display, can scarcely be over esti-
mated. The story told by an advertise
ment is incomplete unless the leading
prices, at least, are mentioned. Much
of the labor of making window exhib-
it is lost if the articles shown are not
accompanied by price e-cards. The dis
play of goods in a window enables pas
sers by to Judge of their style and quail
ity. Price cards give them an opportu-
nifty of deciding whether they desire or
can afford to purchase. A priced arti-
Gle, if it be priced right, will draw more
strangers into store than dozen artl-
cles which are without price cards.

cussed at the meeting of the Maine
sportsmen's fish and game association

The annual report of the prison and jail
inspectors shows that there were com
mitted to the several jails during the
past year 5,297 prisoners, Of whom D, 93o
were males and 262 females. OF this
number 8, 1913 were committed for drunk
enness. The inspectors recommend that
in the counties where there are no Work
shops that some method be used by
which the prisoners can be employed at
some kind of labor. According to the
report of Treasurer George S. Chalmers
of the Eastern Maine Music Festival
Association, 1892 remain in the treas
