a Word for Madam Nicotine

! HAitinI"fc minister, E"y. ko!t. l..
l;eany,: IN an address to E.pworth
LcaSuert, last week, said there was an
incentive 10 sin IN the very fumes OF
tobacco. He declared in part, ITO
bacco smoke should be -huuned, and
those who Use the weed should do all
IN their power To keep the fumes from
other people. \ smuke-ladcn room is
NOR" harmful, 10y far, than the smuk-
tr- ihIagint, rs II inspires n spirit IN
those who inhale the smoke which is
the doorstep to sin"
such dOgmatic utterances, so plainly
untrue, only serve to bring the cloth
into dlsrespect, and it will not lie long,
II persisted in, till preachers opinions
will not pass more current than Chi
cage professors views on economic and
scientific propositions. Nicotine has
had enough sins charged up to it, from
alleged effects upon its users, without
extending the sphere SO as to include
those who may, by chance, inhalc a
whiil of somebody's cigar
Tobacco may shorten the lives Of
some people, and so may certain arti-
Giles OF food but the many people who
attain the allotted span of life, and use
tobacco in its various forms all their
life, repel the idea that it is per Sc in
furious to health. That it is an unne-
cessary indulgence, is likewise dis
puted, when it affords rest for the
weary, solace in trouble and a means
OF companionship that brighten at
times the journey of life. Bulwer-
l.ytton says; "The man who smokes,
thinks like sage and acts like Sa.
maritnn," and that He who doth not
smoke hath either known no great
grieis, or refuseth himself the softest
consolation, next to that which comes
from Heaven"

LOOK OUT FOR Your TAX TITLEs.-
The Supreme Court has decided, in a
tax title case from Aberdeen, A. J.
Anderson vs.. Emanuel Lurati, that a
certain title acquired several years ago,
is invalid from the fact that Lurati
foreclosed his tax certificate without
making Samuel Benn, the person in
whose name the property was assessed.
a party to the suit, and that he did
not serve him with notice. On this
foreclosure, tax deed was Issued.
Later, Anderson, without knowledge
OF the tax deed, bought the land from
Frank Decker, its former owner, and
on learning of the tax deed brought
action against Lurati to have it set
aside. The court holds that it is not
sufficient to publish a general notice
to "All persons interested" in fore.
closing tax certificate, but notice
must be given to the persons to whom
the pr operty is assessed. Many titles
in this county arc said to be affected
by this decision.

How DAUGHTER SAVED HER FAITH
ER's CRor.-A beautiful story of filial
duty is related OF an eighteen.year
maiden in Saline county, Kansas, who
saved her fathers crop Of wheat, valued
at $4,000, from destruction by threat
ening storm. Harvest hands had
union rules which regulated their mo-
tons, and they were of the. approved
"by the day" stroke, that no appeals
OF the owner OF the farm could &C.
celerate. Then it was that the girl
showed her power over animate ma.
ture. She made personal appeal to
the men, somewhat in this vein: ave
must save this crop OF wheat, or l
cant return to school this fall. Now
to the man who shocks the most wheat
to-day, I will give three kisses and q
hug; to the man who is second / will
give just two kisses and to the third,
just hug. Papa shall be the Judge"
The effect upon the men is said to
have been electrifying. Harvest hands
never worked harder. The contest
was close, and when the last bundle
Of wheat had been shocked, the rain
came in all its fury, but there were
happy hearts on the old farm. Fred
Norton, young neighbor who had
been sweet" on the farmers daugh.
ter for some time. by superb uman ei-
forts, came out ahead, and two eastern
men took second and third prizes,
while the patter on the roof gave as.
surance that all was we'll.

turbulent water. or camping out in
Gods own country amid scenic envi-

sand square miles of water-crOssed
playground offers unlimited possibil-
ties for canoeing. the hundreds of con-
Meeting and contiguous lakes, rivers,
streams and brooks making canoe
progress feasible and easy in practical
ly every direction. even though ones
route lies in the very heart of the UNI
tanned forest where no road or trail has
yet been cut and where the canoe offers
the only practical means of travel.
There arc several particularly attrac-
tive canoe trips here which have been
singled out Of many because Of the ease
with which they can be made and the
comparatively short time it takes to
make them. The list includes AllagaSh

EXTRA CARS TO CAMP COBB.
The Electric Road Will Give More Ser
vice During Muster.

Next sunday, to meet the require
ments of the Muster crowds. the Flee
trio management will commence run
ming an extra car from Water street to
the Muster grounds every half hour.
This extra car will leave Water street
every ten minutes, and forty minutes,
after every hour, commencing each
morning at 9 a. M, and continuing
until . p. m. Let it be distinctly I'M
derStoOd that this extra half hour
service to the muster field is in addi-
ton to the regular Winthrop hourly
service. which also takes passengers to
the grounds. leaving Water street, as
now, 10 minutes before each hour, dur
ing the entire day and evening. An
other important thing to be remember
Gardiner and TOgus lines will enjoy
of securing transfer tickets from the
conductors. These transfer tickets
which are free. Will convey them to
the muster field. This is a very liberal
arrangement and not only speaks
we'll for the enterprise of the road but
one that will be taken advantage Of
and greatly appreciated by the pub
lie. In a few words. this service takes
Gardiner passengers and Togus pas
sengers to. the grounds for only 10
cents and those from Hallowell for
only > cents. May be well to cut
this out for future reference.
