The Acme of Pessimism.

Secretary of War Taft. at dinner
in Washington. referred with a smile
to a certain pessimistc Senator.
He is always awaiting the fall of
some unforeseen evil" said Secretary
Taft. He can never see the bright
side. He is as incorrigible pessimist
as old Elisha Howard OF Zoar.
Il was born In Ohio and in nv boy
hood l saw Elisha now and then His
farm was near Zoar. 1t was a large
and prosperous farm, but Elisha would
never have admitted such thing. He
was always grumbling and grooming.
The corners of his mouth continually
hung down
Il remember once there came a ban
ner year for the Ohio farmers. The
wheat crop had never been so fine and
good. and prices had never been so
nigh Elisha's wheat surpassed all
others. and it was known that he had
marketed 1t skillfully Nevertheless,

BLACK FOX IN MAINE.
Its Fur Will Be a Prize Worth Getting
Next Winter.

Men who have ridden into Bangor
early In the morning from Amherst. Au-
rora, Beddington and nearby towns say
they have seen great and superbly
shining black fox capering by the road
sides and scooting across fields and
through pastures.
Making due allowance for visual de-
fects, if the tales that are told are half
true the animal is surely worth hunting
for--or will be a month later, when its
winter fur is grown. Beyond question,
the pelt of the black fox is the most
valuable fur on earth. The biggest aud
tueSt fur seal in the Arctic ocean car
ries a garment that will be valued at
$500 to $500 after it has been dressed
and colored. The pelt of a great sen
lion commands from 5000 to $500, and
the jacket of a silver gray fox sometimes
sells for $500 to $1,000.
But better and more choice, and more
expensive than any of the above, is the
skin Of the black fox At the auction
there were six pelts taken from black
foxes, which sold for more than $500
each, one specimen commanding $1,000.
The dealers in furs tell us that the best
place to seek black foxes on this CONT
uent is along the northern end of the At
lantic seaboard, from Hancock county,
Maine, through New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia to Labrador. As can be in
ferred from the prices secured from the
buyers, black foxes are not plentiful in
any part of the world. Less than 100
pelts are taken in year from the en-
tire earth In some years the number
has dwindled TO thirty.
OF late the captures have been more
plentiful, though Il man can hunt a long
time in any place without casting his
eyes upon a black fox. and. rs seeing
is not equivalent to securing, many men
who have looked ut black foxes running
away have never shot one.
According to the tales of old hunters.
there is a black fox which may be seen
Mt rare intervals among the hills of Ded-
ham and Otis. Men who have placed
hounds on its track assert that the ami

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children 1t ruins a childs DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration. ner-
vous dependency. 1.-The blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound ;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.
