that he never went to bed without

however, was such as rendered the
duty performed particularly meritor-

he had his appendix removed, so as
to avoid all risk of appendicitis, and,
in short, he SO fully realized the duty

His Lecture Illustrated.

"A gathering in an Eastern town
which was violently dispersed. was
held in little hall rarely used. There
was no desk for the speaker of the
evening. SO one was logged cut of the
cellar
No sooner had the speaker begun
to pound the old desk in his enthusi-
asm than hornet flew out. Another
hornet followed. The audience began
to wave their hands wildly in the air.
Other hornets came and the faces of
some of the members of the audience
began to swell visibly.
Then there was mad rush for the
door, and the speaker was left alone
to fight off the angry insects whose
nest he had disturbed. He was to
have given a lecture on "The Hotbed
o. the Rebellion"

GARDENS HERE AND ABROAD.
Fundamental Difference in Their Rela-
tor to the Family.

There is y fundamental difference
between the English and the Ameri
can garden, writes Prof l.. H. Bailey
in the Garden Magazine. The Eng
lishman's garden is well nigh as es-
sential as his house 1t is like an ex-
ira room to the residence. 1t is for the
family rather than for the public. 1t
therefore works itself into developing
consciousness of children, and garden
love becomes as much a part of the
person as books and furniture and
music do. An English teacher recent
ly inspected the study work at Cornell
university. What surprises me-" she
said, 'is that you need to do such
work The English child loves nature
as if by instinct" The American gar
den is likely to be all in front yard.
1t is usually of the look-at-me kind.
1t is made for the public to see. This
may contribute to public spirit and
civic betterment, but it loses in origin
atty and vitality.

GUARD AGAINST GERMS.
Keep Well by Strengthening the stom
ach in Summer With Mi.o.na.

Everyone with weak digestion should
use Mi-o-na at this season and SO
strengthen the stomach that disease
germs can have no effect whatever.
This remarkable remedy puts the whole
digestive system in so healthy. clean
and sweet a state that fermentation of
tho food cannot exist, that any disease
germs which may enter the stomach
will be destroyed. and food will be so
readily assimilated that rapid and
healthy increase in flesh will result.
Nervousness and sleeplessness come
moro often from a weak stomach than
from any other cause; headache. back
ache and rheumatic pains are directly
caused by an acid condition Of the
stom,ch. Mi-o-na corrects all this.
prevents the formation Of acids. and
nervousness, kidney trouble. or rheu-
matism. is quickly cured.
Ask Percy w. Means and Bowditch
& Webster to show you the guarantee
under which they sell Mi-o-na. Price
50 cents. 1t costs nothing unless 1t
cures.

Of the cities visited, it is safe to as
sumo that that particular play is what
is called "a great big hit" This is the
history of Lottie Blair Parker's play
Under Southern Skies" which returns
to our city on Thursday, Aug. 81. at the
Opera House. This play has enjoyed
phenomenal prosperity during the four
years of it's existence and now is in its
fifth season of continued success. OF
all Southern plays Of recent years I'm
der Southern Skies" has proven the
most popular The reason is not hard
to find. The main story is one that
appeals strongly to every heart. 1t
holds the spectator tense and interest
ed until the curt Ain falls. But it is the
manner of telling this story which
forms the great and unusual charm of
Under Southern Skies" The charac.
teristic traits of the Southern people
are so vividly drawn. by the author, the
air Of southern beauty, chivalry, ro-
nance and gayety so permeate the en-
tire play and production that it seems
less a play than an actual prcsentment
Of a bit of real life.

takes possession of the Governors cup
for the ensuing year.
The wind was variable and light. In
some places 1t was almost a dead calm
and at the finish it was nearly a drift
ing match between the different boats.
The sharpest contest was between
the Helen and Kalapaki for second
place. The boats crossed the finish line
five seconds apart and the corrected
time gives the Helen second place by
only IL seconds.
The second-clasS had their race
over two and half mile course and
three boats were entered. Captain Har-
woods boat proved the fastest and
won in very fast time.
The r. o. came in second and the
FJolojon third, the wind seeming to en-
tirely desert the latter boat when near
the finish.
After the race was over the yachts
men assembled at Commodore Robin
sons cottage and the prizes were dis
tributed. Lawyer Thompson was pre-
sented with the Governors cup. which
he must win for three successive sea-
sons to finally possess.
Ralph Smith, who sailed the Helen.

the Yacht Club.
In the second-class, Captain Har-
wood won an anchor as first prize.
The second prize. n large Cobbossee-
