100000 for Automobiles.

Evidently the automobile has come
TO stay. New York dealers report sales
amounting TO over $10000,000 during
the last few weeks, and also that they
are being made and used for almost
every occasion. The greatest home
remedy of the present day is the cele-
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Past experience has proven that it can
be used successfully in all cases of in
sOmnia, kidney or liver troubles, dys-
pepsia, Indigestion, biliousness, cos
tiyeness. general weakness. or malaria,
fever and ague. Women and girls who
suffer every month fro msecret ills
swill also be greatly benefited by using
the Bitters regularly. 1t is the best
woman's medicine before the public.
We urge a trial by every sick man and
woman. Insist on having Hostetter's.

Blessings Not In His Line.

A former president OF the Boston &
Maine railroad, who was we'll known both
for his clerical style of dress and his
picturesque profanity, happened to be
stopping at a hotel in Plymouth, N. H,
which was also headquarters for quite a
number of Methodist ministers attending
their annual conference. 1t was on the
first day Of the conference and many of
the clergymen were strangers to each
other.
The clerical looking railroad president
entered the dining room with a party of
ministers, and the head waiter, selecting
him as the most imposing and dignified
of the number, gave him a seat at the
head of the table.
A momentary silence fell on the party:
then the minister at his right, address,
ing him, said: Brother, will you ask
Gods blessing on the food?"
Placing a hand back of one ear, and
leaning toward him. the brother said:

The landing of the fish upon the
wharf was a serious business. A heavy
spar and tackle were used. and even then

On the skill in surgery OF DR.. Valentine
Mott, 1t is recorded that in 1928 he per-
formed what is universally allowed to be
the most difficult feat ever attempted in
surgery. A clergyman was afflicted with
an enormous tumor in the neck, in which
were embedded and twisted many OF the
great arteries. In removing this tumor
II was necessary to take out entire one OF
the collar bones, to lay bare the mem
brane enclosing the lungs to dissect
around arteries displaced by the tumor
and embedded in 1t. to apply 40 ligatures,
and remove an immense mass OF diseased
matter. All this was done without the aid
of chloroform. The patient survived the
operation, and many years afterward con-
tinued to discharge the duties of his pro-
fession. DR.. Mott was the first to operate
successfully for Immortality OF the lower
jaw. He was the first to succeed in sew
ing up a slit in a large vein.
Surgery was practiced with fair skill
by the ancient Egyptians Hippocrates,
of the school Of Cos. is preeminent for the
degree of advancement to whioh he
brought the art b. c. 400. The practice
OF dissecting the human subject did much
to improve 1t, and was begun by Erasis-
tratus, at Alexandria, in the third CEN
fury. 1t was long discountenanced among
the Romans, who were enjoined by public
edicts to follow the good old plan Of heal
ing through the medium OF religious in
cantation. Asclepiades made some efforts
to break through this popular superstition.
This was in SO B. c., and CELSIUS enjoyed
considerable celebrity as an operator
about II. Claudius Galen, of Pergamus,
in Asia Minor, who ultimately settled in
Rome, attained great eminence as a sur
geon. Surgery was practiced by the Jews
ON those of their own nation, and also on
Christians and Mahometans in the 18th
century, and by the monks, against whom
Pope Innocent II. launched prohibitions,
threatening them with severe penalties,
in 1888.

Boys at spotford Fined.

Lawyer A. F. Schwenk was in Spofford
Tuesday to defend nine boys who were
arrested on a warrant charging them with
firing dynamite cartridges and other ex-
plosives on the night of July 8. County
Solicitor o. e. Cain appeared for the
prosecution. ID. w. Slade, who was to
sit as Justice, was disqualified, on account
Of being a witness. The county solicitor
then proposed to take the matter before
Justice Richard Cobb, but counsel for the
respondents filed a plea in abatement on
the ground that Mr.. Cobb was first
selectman and therefore was interested,
as the fines would go to the town, also
that Mr.. Cobb had expressed an opinion
in the matter Mr. Cobb decided that he
was prejudiced and declined to act Two
or three other justices declined to sit, and
the solicitor was about to mol pros the
case when 1t was learned that Justice
Warren Butler of Chesterfield Centre was
in the village. Justice Butler was induced
to hear the case. He decided that the
boys were guilty, whereupon Mr.. Schwenk
moved an arrest of judgment, on the
ground that the complaint did not allege
that the offense was committed in the
compact part of the town, as the statutes
require. The court oVerruled the motion
and fined the boys 81 each. The costs
Were divided, making the fine and costs
$1.68 each. The amount was so small that
the respondents decided not to appeal.

The Athletics again demonstrated SUI
perior form on Saturday when they pulled
out the game against Company l in the
tenth inning. While the score was tie
in the ninth inning the Athletics had
played a much better game than their
opponents. They had had 10 men left on
bases, while only seven of the soldiers
were stranded. Twice with the bases full
the Athletics were retired. Both pitchers
did creditable work. The high wind in
terfered with the fielding. Company l
played in luck with four or five hits which
under most conditions would have been
fielded. The features were not numerous
aside from the double plays and a catch
by V. Johnson beyond the foul line. The
Athletics had dubious outlook in the
tenth inning with two out and none on
bases. L. Aliens high fly to Davis was
muffed, and the ball rolled toward the
foul line. Pitcher Carl Ellis essayed to
hurl it to second, to which point Allen
was headed, but the low, swift ball skit-
tered along the turf between centre and
right field, and when It was returned to
the diamond Allen was rushing across the
plate. In the last half of the inning
Company l made a good bid. Ellis, who
was given a complimentary pass to first,
attempted to score on Daviss hit to left
field, but was thrown out at the plate,
and then Cooley cut rings around the
bats of Trendall and H. johnson.
