Threats like an autumn fresh through
culvert! The vice-president, tired
out with the exertions of the meal and
the compliments which We're thrown
at his head, departed. The night
waned. The banqueters leaned across
the table for personal remarks.
Speeches came to be heard like the
sound of distant rain through the clat-
ter of general comment. The banquet
was on it's last legs. And still the
judge sat and waited and the master
of ceremonies looked in every direc-
ton except his way. NeWSDOys had
the papers now and Fairbanks had
been nominated, butt in the banquet
room there. We're only Judge Timber

cial correspondent snicKeTed and threw
up his glass to the next president"
Judge Timberlake half-arose, but
Handsome Harry Skinner was ahead
of him. His is g, figure to command
the eye, a voice to quell to silence.
Handsome Harry" bowed profoundly
and his voice came like the deep CUR
gle Of musical waters:
Mr. Postmaster he cried fiji OPEN
ing and the banqueters shouted in
their glee, and all at once it was all
over!
In the head OF the ex-Judge, sitting
with the amber liquor trimming the
untasted glass beside his plate, was
the nominating speech!
Early travellers were reading the
news on the trains rv that time, but
the banquet knew it not!

HAD THE WHOLE CROWD.
Did the Application Of Southern for
Contempt Rule Include Both
Judge and Attorneys?

When the Durham contempt case be-
fore Judge Pritchard was first
Sprung" it was said that the attor-
neys in the case, the clerk of the
court, the sheriff and the judge of the
State Court We're all included i'm the
rule to show cause.
That was what is called a grape
vine" telegram, one of those mysteri-
Gus bits of information that float in
from interesting happenings, no one
knows how or when. but which are
not rarely very accurate as news.
When the real telegram came the
scope of the contempt proceedings
was seen to have been not quite that
broad. but yesterday it was said in
the same way that in the application
for the rule made to Judge Pritchard
by Colonel Andrews and Major Guth-
rie, all the gentlemen were named as
stated. That the officers of the State
Court and the attorneys in, the case
were not also attached for contempt
would appear therefore to have been
the result of the "gumption" of Judge
Pritchard, rather than lack of
nerve on the part of the Outraged"
railroad.

your board Immediately after the
April meeting"
New Committeeman.
The letter requesting the early APP
pointment of new school committee
men is as follows:
my attention has been called to
the fact that on account of the sum-
mer schools beginning about July in
a number of counties in the western
section of the State, it is desirable to
have new committeeman appointed
before the July meeting in order that
they may select the teachers for these
schools. AS there is no provision in
the law for the selection of new COM
mitteemen until the qualification of the
new members Of the Board of Edu-
cation at the July meeting [ suggest
that IN order TO meet this difficulty
the newly appointed members of the
County Boards of Education might be
requested to have an Informal meeting
any time in April or May and name the
new committeeman, notifying them
that they can meet and select their
teachers according to the provisions of
section 20 Of the School Law with
the understanding that their action
will be approved by the new County
Board of Education after their quail
fication in July.
THE ter moi office of the new COM
mitteemen and of the members of the
new County Board of Education will
not legally begin, of course, until the
first Monday in July and this action
on their part would not be legally
binding, but there would be no prac-
teal difficulty about it in case the
board at the July meeting should ratify
the action OF course there is no pro-
vision for paying the expenses of the
members of the new board for such
an informal meeting. / suggest this,
however as simple solution of the
difficulty in regard to securing teach
ers in time for the summer schools.
If it meets your approval you can
notify the new members of the County
Board of Education requesting them to
take the course suggested in this let

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs, A. l.. Smith, of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by
the following experience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last 4 week and
would then pass off. In month che
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites Of
her eyes would be yellow.
The doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodds
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally. when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure Lealthy, happy
future for them.

Portland Exposition Board.

Denver. April 26.-Governor McDon-
aid has appointed as members of the
Colorado commission for the Lewis &
Clark fair at Portland, Ore. Messrs.
A. w. Hogle of Denver. E. Lyman
White of Denver and Eugene Grubb OF
Carbondale.
In regard to the duties of the three
members, Governor Mcdonald has
made the request that Mr.. White, who
is the state commissioner of mines,
shall have full charge of the mining
part of the exhibit. Mr.. Grubb, who
is one of the most prominent stock
men in the state. will look after the
stock and agricultural portions of the
exhibit, and Colonel Hogle will have
charge of all other details.
The commission will have $4,000 to
spend, which amount was appropriated
by the recent Legislature. While ordi-
narily this would not provide much OF
an exhibit, it is deemed amply suffi-
cient in the present case, for the rea-
son that it is the intention of the COM
mission to use much of the Colorado
exhibit that was made at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair.
The commission met and organized
by appointing Colonel Hogle as com
missioner-in-chief and Mr.. White as
secretary A. l.. Babcock was ap
pointed assistant secretary.
