Taft. as chairman of the committee appointed at the last meeting. gave in most interesting statement of condition. MT Taft believed that in spite of the fact that the Catholic people of the town intended erecting parochial school in 1907, that the voters of the school district were duty bound to do something to relieve the present crowding of the Center school, and that 1t should be done at once. He stated further that there was con- siderable uncertainty attached to the building of this parochial school. By this Mir Taft did not mean to infer that the Catholic people were not sim cere in their intentions of building this new school, but even with this new school the conditions at the Gen. ter school in five years hence would be practically the same as they are at the present time. The Rev Father Loftus spoke briefly regarding his feelings toward the proposed new public school. He stated that even if a new public school building were erected his Catholic school would go up just the same. It was voted to build a new school building. consist ing of four rooms, on the Bryant lot. at a cost not to exceed $16,000, which sum will be borrowed from the Dime Savings bank of Waterbury. The meeting then adjourned.

"WHALE" OF AN ORE SHIP.
Immense Lake Steamer That Car
ries 12, 800 Tons of Iron at
a Load.

Two years ago a Duluth company
built the immense ore steamer, Angus
tus B. Wolvin, carrying 1880 tons
and having 80 matches. For swift
loading and unloading this remarkable
vessel has never been equaled, writes
Herbert N. Casson, in Munsey's. It's
records are incredible in Europe and
startling to the steamboat men of the
United States. For instance, a load
of 10,245 tons of ore was placed on
board her in 80 minutes, and unloaded
to the last pound in four and a half
hours. Forty years ago a load of 500
tons was put aboard by a crowd of men
with shovels and wheelbarrOws in not
less than three days. To-day the Wolv-
in takes on 500 tons in five minutes
and unloads it in Is.
The Wolvin has set a new standard
for ore ships to which the United
States Steel corporation has been
obliged to conform. Last year, feel
ing that its ore fleet was dwarfted by
this great Independent vessel. the
steel trust launched four new boats,
each nine feet longer than the Wolvin,
and built on similar lines. These gil
gantic boats represent an outlay of
81, 700, 600 apiece, and will carry $780,
900 tons of ore down the lakes in a
single season-enough to keep an old
time furnace busy for 400 years.

HE KNEW ABOUT APPLES,
And Was Willing to Keep the Dealer
from Imposing on a
Buyer.

Not long ago a man was about to
purchase a barrel of apples at the es-
adjustment Of a produce dealer. They
appeared tt be especially fine ones, but
an old farmer standing neal whispered
to him to look in the middle of the bar
rel, relates Sturm's Statehood.
This the would-be purchaser did, to
find hat with the exception of a layer
at each end the apples were small and
inferior.
I'm much Obliged" he said, turning
to the old farmer.
1--WE got some nice ones on my wagon
l jest brought in" the old fellow ven
tured, d%iffdently.
"Ill take a barrel from you, then" the
man said, paying him the price and
giving his address for their delivery.
Say" a %bystander asked, as the pur-
chaser walked away, how did you
know those apples in the center of the
barrel were no good?"
A twinkle came into the old codger's
eye.
20, that Vas one Of my bar'ls," he
said.

continue to suffer rather than submit
TO examinations which SO many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the rea-
son why so many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are corre-
spending with Mrs. Pinkham, daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confde every
detail Of their illness, and from her
great knowledge. obtained from years
of experience in treating female ills,
Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women
more wisely than the local physician.
Read how Mrs. Pinkham helpedMr T.
{. Willadsen, obtaining, Ia. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
81 can truly say that you have saved my
life, and I cannot express my gratitude In
words. Before l wrote to you telling you

steady, and spent lots of money in medicines
besides, but it all failed to do me any good. l
had female trouble and would daily have faint
ing spells, backache, bearing-iown pains. and
my monthly periods were very irregular and
finally ceased. | wrote to you for your adj
vice and received a letter full of instructions
tust what to do, and also commenced to take
Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and | have been restored to perfect health.

She was searching through a shop for
that new device for womankind minus
maids-the corset cover buttoned down
the back-when a new compound noun
came to her ears. 1t was 'ladywear."
1t appears this is the latest addition to
the vernacular of the shops and under
it saleswomen group all feminine habili-
ments of the lingerie order. There is
no doubt about it," said the searcher
for a corset cover that was to give a
