Woman Sends Peculiar Message to
Her Absent Husband.


Mrs. Lane was young and inexperi-
enced. but certain principles Of econ
omy had been instilled into her from
childhood. She knew that since one
could send ten words in a telegram
for 25 cents and any smaller number
cost the same amount 1t was an obvi-
Gus waste of money to send less than
the ten. She had also been taught by
her eminently practical husband that
in sending q telegram one should
keep to the matter in hand" and
avoid all confusion OF words. On the
occasion of Mr.. Lanes first absence
from home he cent telegram from
Chicago saying: Are you all right? :?
Answer, Blank hotel, Chicago" Mrs.
Lane knew she must be wise, econom-
ical and speedy for Mr.. Lane was
making flying trip and had told her
be could not plan on his whereabouts
long enough ahead to have a letter
sent. She spent a few moments in
agitated thought and then proudly
wrote the following message:
"Yes. yes, yes, ! am very we'll in
deed, thank you."-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Strains SAID 70 De INHERITED.
Not Merely Their Quality but Their
Form Handed on From Parents.


The inheritance of bodily character
istics, both by man and the lower an
imals, Is too well known to need com.
ment, says Golfers Weekly. In the
same way we are accustomed to think
Of mental attributes as being more or
less hereditary. From priori consid-
Grafton we have every reason to
expect that the organ which is the
physical basis OF the mental facul-
ties, the brain, should show in its
structure the influence of heredity. It
has rarely happened, however, that
any comparative study of the brain
structures of near relatives has been
possible
A peculiarly fine opportunity for
such observations was afforded when
the brains Of three brothers were CIV
en- to competent observer for exam
ination. The brains were those Of
Willis. Burton and Fred Van Wormer,
all of whom were executed in New
York state. All three brains showed
marked similarity in general form,
differing chiefly in the matter Of size.
Some unusual features were present
in all three; one characteristic In par
ticular. which is of great rarity, oc-
Cured in all three. These facts lend
much support to the idea that Pc
culiarities of brain structure are inher-
tied as well as peculiarities of face
and figure. In the case of these three
brothers no attempt was made to as
sociate the configuration of the brain
with the nature of the crimes OF the
men.

Crosses on Beer Barrels.

Beer barrels are invariably marked
with series of crosses. which now
adays denote the quality Of the beer
contained in the cask. These crosses
were originally put on by the monks.
who then made all the malt liquors, as
sort OF trade mark. The crosses
were not of the same shape as now
shown. but were more akin to the
shape OF a cruclfix, and were intend.
ed to show that by their oath sworn
on the cross" the beer supplied was
Of fit and drinkable condition.

It is believed from the big advance sale of tickets that the house will be filed to its capacity. All having twenty-five cent tickets can exchange them at the box office this evening for reserved seas, The Second division will not hold ther eguIar meet ing this evening as they will take part in the big parade of all the divisions, which will start from A. O. H. head quarters at TAO sharp. All members of all divisions will meet sharply at 7:15 to be prepared for the 4 parade. The play will start as close to eight o'clock as possible and all should be in their seats by that time. The whole entertainment will be one worth going miles to see. !.

VACCINATION AGAIN.
Waterville Resident Going to Test the
 Legality of it.

The authority of the board of public health has struck a stone wall in the person of E. D. Tullar of Waterville, who has temporarily stopped it's pass age. But the health board is made up Of strong, determined commissioners, who will undoubtedly surmount the obstacle with ease as soon as they de- eide to do so.
 A short time ago the board of educa- tion repealed the vote requiring that all children must be vaccinated before they can attend school. Immediately the health board adopted a resolution setting forth in the strongest terms the fact that all children should be yacl cinated before attendiTA school, and the proper officials were notified to take care that the rule was enforced. Since then number of pupils have been sent home from the different schools. Of course there were ire quent complaints from parents abo It this treatment to children, but there was no serious clash until yesterday, when about dozen pupils in fhe lower grades of the Sprague school, Water vile, were sent home by Mrs Jennie Phillips, the principal. When one lit tie girl. the daughter of E. D. Tullar, was ordered to go home, she burst into tears She had been told by her father to stay at school whether or not she received such an order. Mrs Phil lips dispatched a note to Mir Tullar ex- p1aining the situation. but he was de- termined to maintain his stand His daughter must stay at school. That was all there was to it. The child is still at school, but she is not taking part in any class lessons or class exer- cises.
 It is expected that several members of the board of health will hold a con ference with the city attorney this af- ternoon and secure his opinion on the matter. Then the board will proba- bly decide upon a plan of action.

CAUGHT IN ICE.
Three Sealing Vessels in a Bad Way..One of Them
 May be Lost.

North Sidney, c. B., March 17.-In- formation was received here to-day that three sailing steamers had been caught in the vast ice fields near St Paul's Island, 15 miles northeast of the cape Breton coast. One of the vessels is ill critical position.
 The steamers, which hail from New foundland, and have been cruising about the easterly entrance of the gulf of St Lawrence for week or more. Navigation in these waters has been more difficult than usual this season on account of the thickness of the drift. ice. The fields extend well to the eastward Of the Cape Breton coast and reach at. times as far as St Pierre. In addition to the Imprisonment of the steamer Pro-Patria for fortnight several steamers were tied up for days at various points.
 Two of the steamers are five miles west of St Pauls Island, but it is thought they can get out of the gulf without sustaining damage. The third is four miles to windward and her escape is considered doubtful un- less the wind shifts and drives the ice out of the gulf.

ARE ON GUARD.
Alliance Formed to Prevent Absor. ii .l by United
 States.

Chicago, March 17.-A dispatch to the Tribune from New Orleans says: According to mail advices just re- ceiyed here, an alliance has been formed by Brazil, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile and Bolivia to guard against ab- sorption by the United States.
 The belief, 1t is declared. prevails throughout brazil and Argentina that in the event of a revolution in either republic President Roosevelt will in- teryene and recognize the, revolution ists, thus paving the way for annexa- tion.
 The alliance was discussed first last year, when Peru was believed to be considering the advisability during the revolution of asking President Roose- welt to establish a protectorate over that country. The proposal received such strong support that the other re- publics were frightened, fearing that with Peru as a stepping stone to the formation to the proposed annexation of Peru the United States, might ab- sorb the whole of South America.

DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE
 DIED THIS MORNING.

London, March 1.-The Duke of Cambridge died at 10:35 o'clock this morning. He was 8 cousin of the late Queen Victoria, and was born March 26, 1919.
 The duke sank rapidly during the night. He suffered another recurrence of the hemorrhage of the stomach, bringing on profound exhtustion from which he failed to rally.
 The aged duke had been confined to his house for some weeks, but until compelled to take to his bed he was about with his accustomed activity being, as was his cutom, a contant at tendant at function of national or charitable character. At the most re cent of these it was obvious that ''o duke was becoming excee dingly feeble
 He presented a somewhat patho.4c figure as, leaning heavily on the arm of one of his sons, he advanced with faltering step to address a gathering in aid of some patriotic mayement.
 King Edward and Queen Alexandra had been constant visitors to the sick room. while the dukes sons, Admiral and Colonel FitzGeorge, were almost necessarily at his bedside.
 Up to the present year the duke re- tained much of his old time activity and despite his great age he always participated in the shooting parties at his place. Six Mile Bottom, Cam br1dgeshire, and enjoyed entertain n and being entertained. Although the duke was ilnbued with old world con- servatisrn he was undoubtedly pop ular figure and even his prnjudiced op- position to the modernization and democratization of the army failed to decrease the affection with which all ranks regarded their old commander i'll chief.
 The title of Duke of Cambridge died with tbe late duke. his sons being born of q moraanatic marriage, and his death also places at the disposal of the king a field marshal's baton as we'll as an Order Of the Garter.
 It is expected that the remains of the duke will ba buried at Kew. An imposing military display will be made made at the funeral
 The death of the duke necessitates the postponement or the cancellation of all royal functions. as the court will go into mourning for several weeks, and the program for the whole of the London season will also have to be revised. The flags on the public buildings were half masted af- ter the death of the duke became knbVn. In many cases Irish flags that Were flying ill honor Of St Patrick's day were removed.
 Although the cancellation of the drawing rooms and other court func- tions has been ordered, the death of the duke will not affect their majesties' proposed visits to Denmark and Ire, land.
 It is not generally known to the present generation that the Duke of Cambridge's wife was once bur- lesque actress and dancer named Farebrother. She was very Well known in 1S4O or thereabouts and made great sensation playing in bur- lesque at the Lyceum theater
