Hon. Edward Wiggin, secretary at
the educational department, who has
been looking up the population of the
different towns in the State, finds that
SO of the towns have a population of
less than 400 souls, and that IA towns
have population of less than 100. The
town that has the smallest population
of any in the State, is MattamiScontiS
in PenObscot county, with n total of %
souls. Probably the town that has ex-
pericnced the greatest increase of popu-
lation within a given time, is Mil
linocket. In 1890 the number of inhabi-
tants in the town was two, while in
1900 the census gave it a population of
1l44. AS no census has been taken
since that year. figures showing the
present population of the town are not
available, but no doubt they would
show q material increase

Warming.

You cannot have good health unless
your kidneys are sound, for the kidneys
filter the blood of impurities which
otherwise act as irritating poisons and
break down the delicate organs of the
body and cause serious trouble. If you
have kidney or bladder trouble and do
not use Foley's Kidney Cure, you will
have only yourself to blame for results,
as it positively cures all forms of kidney
and bladder disease. Lloyd & Blaine,

BOYS esprit" PLAYMATE.
Tennessee YounEster often Talks
with Unseen Friend.

Mckenzie, Tenn, has a strange psy-
chic phenomenon in the person of VIII
lis Miller, the six-year-old son of Cap
tain w. b. Miller, says the St Louis
Post Dispatch
Willis has u spirit playmate with
whom he converses and plays as he
calls it, every day. Willis calls his
spirit friend Raymond and can be
heard often saying, "All right, Ray
mond, | will be there directly" and
Immediately he will go out of the fam
lily room into the hall or the yard under
some large shade trees, where he will
converse with Raymond sometimes for
an hour. The conversation does not re-
semble childish prattle, but rather that
of persons of mature years, and to
those who do not see the spirit talker
1t sounds like talk over telephone.
Willis was very much distressed
Christmas morning because Raymond
did not get any presents and carried
some of his into the hall for him, and
there they talked and played for some
time Raymond has never entered the
family room, but Willis says he will
come to see them all some day. He
says Raymond told him not to let any
of the other members of the family go
with him to their meeting place at
present.
A few days ago Willis started into
the parlor, having answered Ray
mond's call, as he says, when one of
his sisters started with him, but Willis
would not allow her to enter the room.
When she entered it later Willis was
standing at the window in animated
conversation with Raymond.
The family noticed the conduct of
Willis about year ago, but thought it
only child's play. Where Willis heard
the name Raymond is not known. He
has never had playmate by that
name, and this makes the case more
singular.
Willis will not be bathed and dressed
until he talks with Raymond and finds
out If he is bathed and dressed, and If
not no amount of persuasion can in
duce him to consent to a change of
linen.
The child is favorite in the town
and of very precocious nature. He is
very nervous He never forgets a
name or face, and while walking
around with his father he is asking
questions far beyond his years
1t was thought by the family this
strange fancy would pass away as the
child grew older, but he converses with
his spirit friend" more now than ever.

President Harper of Chicago Univer
sity Under the Knife.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-With the chances
of surviving said by the surgeons to
be rs per cent in his favor President
Harper of the University of Chicago
went upon the operating table at the
Presbyterian hospital here during the
afternoon. While the surgeons and
nurses worked cautiously over the un-
conscious form of their distinguished
patient an impressive scene was being
enacted in Cobb hall at the university,
where students and members of the
faculty of the university sat with
heads bowed in supplication. The
concentrated prayer was that DR.. Har-
per would recover and secure per-
manent relief from the bowel affec-
tion that became chronic after the re-
moyal of his veriform appendix last
spring.
