Plucky Younuster.

The daring exploit of Israel Putnam
entering the VOLTS den and then
shooting the varmint by the glare of
her eyes was equalled last week by
a Cherryfield boy, Elmer Pinkham,
the 15-year-old son of Harris Pinkham.
Since the wood-chopping season began
the plucky youth has been ieeping
company with his father in township
No. 7, and while his father has been
applying his elbow grease in laying
out the gnarled NAPLES and birches
the son has been earning a dollar by
hunting porcupines and other game.
One day last week he returned to
camp with the feet of 13 porcupines in
his belt and asked for help to assist
in dragging from her den a she bear
he had shot that morning by invading
the domicile, his attention having
been turned in that direction by the
growing of bruin as he was passing
by.-BangO: News.

by studying these directions and the

Dainty Centerpieces,

For those clever with the brush the
latest table centers should appeal to
some purpose, for now that spring is
here the loveliest and most appropri-
ate to the season are made of finest

of these last cases hole equal to one
little square, or half-domino, is left in
the center.
If you put three large squares to-
gether, as in the picture, you will see
that they inclose a right-angled tri-
angle, one side of each large square
forming side of the triangle.
Now, the largest square contains
twelve dominoes and a hole and there

white particles of sal ammoniac which

That the sal ammoniac is solid may
be proved by letting the glass stand

has settled down on the bottom. Here
you have a solid made by the union

Flower Parasols.


A bewitching fad of the coming sea-
son will be the floral parasols. The
foundation of these dainty creations
will be chiffons, mousselines, liberties
and other gauzy materials. These
plain foundations, however. will be
trimmed and in some instances entire
ly covered with artificial flowers.
A daisy parasol, for instance, will be
made of green liberty silk, and will
have bow knot design of white dais-
les on it, with border OF the same.
The parasol point will also have a
mass of the daisies tied with green
gauze ribbon to match the parasol
proper.
An orchid parasol will have a violet
chiffon foundation, and it will be SIM
ply massed with these exquisite vel
vety blossoms, from the wooden tip
to the slender ivory handle.
Violets, pansies, carnations and all
the floral favorites will figure promi-
nently in this new fad. but, of course,
such parasol can only be carried on
very dressy occasions.

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases

One OF the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our change
able climate. To protect the family from
colds and coughs is always serious prob
lem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in avoid
ing exposure and the use of proper cloth
ing will protect from. the frequency, and
perhaps the severity of colds, but with the
greatest of precautions they will come.
This is settled fact of human experience.
Everybody must expect to be caught some
where or somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or draught,
or damp clothes, or it may be one Of
thousand other little mishaps, but no one
is shrewd enough to always avoid the inev-
table catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science better
known than that Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. Thousands of families
in all parts o. the United States are pro-
tected from colds and catarrh by Peruna.
Once in the family Peruna always stays.
No home can spare Peruna after the first
trial of it.

Somewhat better business condi-

lions are noted in practically all lines
of wearing apparel. however, with the
exception of specialties, srch as tan
shoes, thar cannot be delivered with
sufficient rapidity. Operations for flu
ture requirements are carried on with
caution, and this disposition to avoid
overproduction will do much to
maintain steady market Some i'm
provements in collections, particular

strengthen weak concerns.
The percentage of idle factories has
increased, especially in textiles and

Beaver Dam a Nuisance.

A beaver colony has been busy on
Mitchell brook, between Frye and
Hale, near Rumford Falls, Me. There
are thought to be four beavers IN the
colony, and they built dam of alder
boughs and brush, making it three
rods long. 1t was torn out, and twice
did the beavers rebuild, flooding the
wood road. In some instances they
have felled poplar trees six and eight
inches through.
