the Angel finds that he thinks his love

The restless days preceding the civil
war. when murmurS were heard both
in the north and south, is the time In
which this story is laid. 1t mainly
concerns the dramatic incidents of
john Browns raid and a small boy.
Clay Angel; whose soul was of greater
growth than his body and who became
interested In a fugitive negro boy
named Dabney Harris. The latter was
follower of John Brown. and in some
way the boy had obtained a mission
airy education in the north, which con-
sisted principally of a good knowledge
of the bible Clay's mother was
very poor woman, who had been left
a burden of debt by shiftleSs hus-
band, and by the help OF Clay and
boarding some nearby laborers she
managed TO live and pay of the debts.
Clay hid Dabney Harris In a shed and
fed him by stealth for a long time. re-
sisting the temptation TO earn the
$1,000 offered for his capture. When IL
is realized that this money would have
paid off the debts his mother had
shouldered and given him the educa-
ton he so sorely coveted. IL may be
imagined that the boy was strong of
character and good of heart. The chief
fault OF the book is tendency TO ram
bic away from the main plot and the
Introduction OF more characters than
can be conveniently handled. but as a
whole IL is graphic and gives one an
excellent idea of the conditions of the
south just previous to the war, and
shows how but spark was necessary
TO start a great conflagration- Mrs.
Angel Is well drawn and so are sew
eral of the minor characters, but the
most satisfactory picture Is OF the
faithful boy who would not betray the
man he had tried TO save for money
which would have made his own life
worth while.

Dear AUNT Madse and M. B. Sisters:

In a letter received from Aunt Maria several

and when made that promise fully Intended
to write long ere this, but Aunt Madge has had
such bountiful supply OF letters ever since.
that thought nine wouldn't be missed until
Aunt Maria's stat ment caused me to think that
she a, leas, had not forgotten it.
l hardly know where to begin, there are so
many things that came under my obsel walton
that were of especial interest to me.
Portsmouth Is very ancient city, and as you
all know is just over the border Of our own
State, the dividing line being the Piscataqua
river. thus making IA very pretty water front

of especial interest were located there al many
distinguished visitors came there. Gen. Wash.
iDeton visited there In 1 50, and later Daniel
Webster. also in 1850 Louis Philippe who af er.
ward became King of France. Gen. Lafayette,
John Hancock and Gen. Knox, who figured so
largely in the Revolutionary war, were also
among them.
The Old North church and Old South meeting
house. likewise The st. Johns Episcopal are
among the more ancient churches. the latter be-
ing enriched during the French and Indi- u
wars by the 81 oils of victory.
The bell was brought from Lousburg where
Sir William Pepperell achieved his great vic
tory. and the font was captured from the French
and given TO the chuI CHI by Col. Mason. noted
colonial officer.
Old dwellings, both historic and picturesque,
abound there. In the parlor of the JAfeTy cot

other, said to be one of the oldest located by
The river, was once the home of Allen, Com.

BROWN TAIL MOTH.
A THREATENING PEsT-How TO
IDENTIFY IT.
ITS DEsrRUcTIvENEss- FOR
ExTERMINATIoN--A FRUIT
AND SHADE TREES.

A few years ago the tent-caterpillar was
with us, and widespread devastation fol-
lowed in its wake. At the present time
we are threatened with visitation that
bids fair, should It become general, to
out Herod the destruction that marked
the path OF the tent-caterpillar.
The brown-tRil moth Is pest more to
be dreaded than any that has before made
its appearance in Maine, because not only
docs it prove destructive to our fruit trees,
but the small hairs of the caterpillar, which
are barbed and brittle, are poisonous,
causing an eruption wherever they come
in contact with the skin.
Direct contact with the caterpillars is
not necessary, for when the skins are
shed the moths are blown about, widely
scattering the barbed hairs. In infected
districts it is no uncommon occurrence for
whole families to suffer from the rash
caused by hairs settling upon clothes
hung out to dry.
At the present time the tiny caterpillars
which were Matched from eggs deposited
last July, are huddled together some $50
strong in the winter nests, swinging from
the twigs of fruit, wild cherry or forest
trees. At this time, by gathering and
burning the nests, much can be done to
stay their progress.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering. it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual
ton is a severe strain ON a woman s
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia E, Pinkham' g

full and irregular menstruation.

cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
