LEARN HOW TO FORGET.
HH Haynes Shows When We Should
Not Remember Things.

II. H. Haynes writes to the News
from Georgetown, Texas, as follows
Much is said and written nova
days about cultivatlng the memory
Schools have been established for the
purpose OF teaching memory culture.
The young are taught how to train
the memory so that they may be able
to retain impressions, remember even
past history, recall past experience,
and so on, all OF which is a good
thing A good memory is necessary
to success, financial social and relig-
ious. A well-trained memory is a very
useful thlng-to possess. 1T not only
makes life more enjoyable to ourselves
and those around us, but 1t max es us
more useful.
'But with all of our memory train
ing we should learn how to forget
perhaps there are more people who
need to learn how to forget than to
learn how to remember Forgettl ng
can be learned just as easy as re
membering, but it requires just the
opposite Kind of training. But in learn
ing how to forget the things We
should forget will help us to remem-
ber the things we should remember.
The things that are unpleasant, the
things that irritate, the things that
make us feel bitter aud unkind, these
are the things we should Danish to
absolute forgetfulness.
THE health .of the body, as well as
the mind depends upon forgetting.
To let memory of wrong linger and
rankle ln.tne mind will not only dis
sipate the mental energy, but it will
react upon the body. Forgetting is
splendid nervine for both body and
mind. If any one has been mean to

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with un-
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail TO cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once tC
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol
lowing are constantly pouring in.

EASTER AT THE CHURCHES.
AIthe North Church.

The morning service was one of the
most inspiring ever held in this church,
the large audience, the music, the sermon
and the flowers all contributing to the
spirit of the day. The music by the
double quartette choir was finely rem
dered in every detail of solo, concerted
and organ parts. 1t was in complete
harmony with the entire service-inspir-
ing and worshiptul. The floral display
from the Underclyffe and Pinehurst con-
servatories was composed entirely OF
spring flowers. Large palms formed the
background, fringed with Easter lilies,
while in front of these were daffodils, mar
cissus, tulips and spirea. The pastor
gave a strong and helpful discourse on
Immortality. In the evening the super
intendent OF the Sunday school, J. W..
Sault, had arranged an exercise entitled
THE Great Painters Gospel" consisting
of so scenes in the lie of Christ thrown
upon a large screen and interpreted by
the superintendents, the pastor or by
musical selections. T. H. Underwood
managed the lantern and the views came
out finely. The church was well filled
and the entertainment was most prott-
able one.

Murderer Captured.
Drunken Quarrel Resulted in Death.

Plummer Bacon of Dalton, N. H., was
arrested here last evening for the murder
of John Sawyer, Monday evening, at
Dalton. 1t seems that Bacon and Saw
yer had been drinking quite heavily Mon
day and about $50 in the evening they
were at the Hunter farm, which is occu-
pied by Lorenzo Ash. There the two
had words in regard to Mrs. Ash and
came to blows.
Sawyer succeeded in taking Bacon
down on the floor but Ash separated
them. AS soon as Bacon had regained
his feet he grabbed 5000 rifle and
shot Sawyer dead. He then attempted
to kill Mrs. Ash but was prevented by
Mr. Ash who knocked the rifle upward
and the bullet passed through the roof.
Bacon then went to his home without
being stopped, and started Tor the Yer
mont line to Lunenburg following the
St. 7. & l.. c. R. R. to this place. Deputy
Sheriff Follensby of White6eld was noti-
fled OF the crime about IL O'Clock IN the
evening and traced Bacon here. While
on the street last evening the officer made
inquiries about Bacon and Napoleon
Richards said that he saw man answer
ing the description going down the
B. & M. track about $50.
The officers with the assistance Of the
local force then went to the Welch farm
in rear of the Fair ground and soon saw
Bacon coming down the track and cap
tured him. Bacon is now in jail, but will
be taken to Whitefeld as soon as pos
sibe. He is only % years old, while the
murdered man is but 1S years old.

this service was furnished by a choir of
young ladies, bows and girls, and a pre-.
pared Easter service was used. The Sun

was taken up and from all appearances
was a large one. The distribution of
Easter eggs was pleasing feature OF
this service. The rector spoke briefly
