BUYS from Hood Farm.

II. W. Bracket & Son of Dixtield have
recently purchased from Hood Farm,
Lowell, Mass, a Berkshire boar that
will bring royal blood into the herd of
his new owner. The animal was sired
by Hood Farm Lord Curzon, he being a
son of Lord Curzon XVI, a great prize
winning boar and the sire of some of the
best pigs ever raised at Hood Farm. As
a yearling this boar won first at the
Toronto Exposition and also at the Wis
consin and Indiana State Fairs and at the
great st. Louis fair. He is son of the
great show boar Duke Ill. of Hood Farm
and is individually good type of the
perfect Berkshire. The dam of the
Young boar is Hood Farm Stratton Lizzie
XIV, one of the first sows owned at
Hood Farm. She is by Longfellow OF
Hood Farm, he son of King Lees sis
ter, full sister to King Lee, the sweep
stakes boar at the worlds fair, 1908
Messrs. Bracket & Som by selecting
boar from the Hood Farm herd, were
able to get the best there is in Berkshire
blood and had about 400 head from
which to make their choice. Great re
suits may be expected from the intro
duction of this blood into their herd.

Cures without Stomach Dosing

HYOMEI CURES CATARRH BY SIMPLE
BREATHING. F. A. sHURTLEfF Il co.
REFUND MONEY IF 1T FAILS TO CURE.
A long stride towards solving tie
mystery of curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In fact,
the percentage of cures by this treat
ment proves it equal to the final tests.
The folly of taking medicine into the
stomach to cure catarrh of the nose,
throat and lungs, has been realized by
physicians, but not until Hyomei was
known, had they practical method
that would obviate stomach dragging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, and consists of neat pocket inhaler
that can be used anywhere without
attracting attention, medicine dropper
and bottle of HyOmei.
Breathing Hyomei through the inhal-
err, every particle of air that enters the
nose, throat and lungs, is charged with
a healing balsam that soothes and allays
all irritation, kills the catarrhal germs
and enriches the blood with additional
ozone.
F. A. Shurtleff & Co. have so much
faith in the power of Hyomei to cure
cararrh, they are selling it under their
personal guarantee to refund the money
if it does not give positive relief

The Duxbury Letter.

West DUxBURY, MASS, Apr. 9th, 1904.
Hurrah, herring are running like
smoke. | can dip them out of the brook
by the pailful. They are so thick there
is no fun catching them. People out
of town can get them for three cents a
day, and if you haven't the three cents
they will give you all you can steal and
lug home.
The weather is fine. Some are gar
dening and some are a-boggin'. House
cleaning is most done, and news is
plenty.
| took trip to Duxbury village the
other day, and went to see the Miles
Standish monument. 1t stands on what
is called Captains Hill, and can be seen
most all over town. 1t is 10 feet high.
| went TO the old John Alden house
which is supposed to be the oldest house
in town, where Miles Standish ,courted
Priscilla a while by proxy, but she pre-
ferred John, and Miles had to take a
back seat.
| went to the old burying ground
where Miles Standish is buried. There
is a large rock over his grave weighing
several tons, so l guess they meant to
keep him where they put him. The old
graveyard has been very much neglected.
The old headstones are crumbling away
so that it is hard work to tell who died
and when they died. The whole yard is
mostly covered with trees and bushes.
The scene brought to my mind the lines
in Gray's Elegy in a Country Church
Yard:
beneath those rugged elms, that yew trees
shade,
Where heaves the earth In many Wondering
heap.
Each In his narrow cell forever laid.
The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
The breezy cal of incense breathing morn
The swallow twittering in her straw-built she'd,
The cocks shrill clarion or the echoing horn,
No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed
If nothing happens shall be in Buck
field some time the last of May, so you
can get out the old cannon.

build an electric railroad between Lisbon
Falls and Shiloh. During the last few
months he has been purchasing many of
the farms in the neighborhood of Shiloh

kingdom self-supporting. He is quietly
securing options on large amounts of
property not only in Durham but also in
Lisbon Falls, and it is understood that
he controls at least one store in Bruins

made Lisbon Falls will become the base
of supply for the kingdom. The finan-
cial leaders of the kingdom have begun
figuring on the cost of bridge across
the Androscoggin River, over which the
electric road will run.

How Old Is Mary?

You have found out how old Ann is?
Well, here's another regarding Mary's
age, said to have been perpetrated by the
same villain. 1t isn't so bad as it looks,
either, and can be readily solved if you
only 60 at 1t right:
1.-THE combined ages of Mary and Ann
are forty-four years, and Mary is twice as
old as Ann was, when Mary was half as
old as Ann will be when Ann is three
times as old as Mary was when Mary was
three times as old as Ann. How old is
Mary?"

Total valuation, sl,SOl ,sO5OO 1885, eaOOO

The appropriations this year being
some S30OO.OO larger than last year, the
tax rate is necessarily increased, and is
20 mills this year as against Is mills last
wear. This gives an overlay of SI9S.39.
The total tax committed this year is
S29, 5l2. 40, rs against S26,O7l.59 last
year.
The number of polls taxed is 936, an
increase of so from 1903. Poll tax $500
as usual.
The number of dogs found is 1876. AL
fred II. Jackson has been appointed dog
constable.
In view of the large appropriations
this year, the tax payers are fortunate
that the rate is not higher than 20 mills,
but the increase in polls and valuation
keeps it down to that.
The increase in real estate is principal
ly at West Paris and Shows Falls. The
principal buildings put up IN South
Paris last year were a school house and
church, and neither is taxable property.
There is some increase in the ma
chinery of manufacturing plants, and
the live stock on the farms shows an in
crease almost uniformly throughout the
town.
The tax rate in the South Paris Village
Corporation is .0027 as against .OOlI5 last
