A Tribute to Mrs. Frances c. Stowe
AUGUST, 1S24-OCToBER, 1906.

A noble Christian mother brings many
blessings to her home and social circle,
and deserves our best appreciation. The
world builds monuments to those whose
deeds in war or peace are often IN the
bright light Of history, but We must
never forget those mothers whose gentle
deeds are the foundations of all our best
achievements. Such good woman we
now honor.
Miss Frances York was born in Bethel
Aug. 26, 1924. She was married to Mel
vim Stowe in 1914, and passed her forty
years of welded life on farm in Newry
where their children were born. After
the death of Mr.. Stowe she lived in
Bethel for sixteen years until she came
to Paris.
Four loving daughters made glad her
home. The eldest, Mrs. Ellen l.. Jose,
died in September. The three living are
Mrs. Teresa S. Grover, Mrs. John S.
Brown aud Mrs. Eben E. Chapman.
Mrs. Stowe was faithful wife and
loving mother. She was woman OF re-
markable industry and loved to toll Tor
her family and any whom she might aid.
In her last days there was characteristic
incident of her kind heart. Having
learned of home for poor children in
Augusta, she knit pair of mittens to
send for some cold hands. When hei
mind began to wander she spoke cheer
fully about the mittens for q child. She
was thus always thoughtful to bring
light where darkness rested.
Mrs. Stowe joined the Methodist
church in Newry and at her death was
member of the South Paris Methodist
church. Such life, honored by friends
children and grandsons, needs no lofty
monument of marble to recall its era
cious influence.
sour little systems have their day;
| They have their day and cease to be;
| They are but broken lights of thee.
And thou, o Lord, art more than they"

STOMACH'S IMPORTANCE.

HOW TO STRENGTHEN IT so THAT II
WILL ACT AS IT SHOULD.
To enjoy both health and Happiness,
it is absolutely necessary that the stom'
ach and digestive organs should be
strong enough to properly digest the
food. If they are weak and inactive,
the body will soon be in state Of semi.
starvation.
Nothing equals Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets in giving strength and tone to the
whole digestive system. Use this rem
edy for few days and you will find the
appetite keen, the digestion good, no
nausea or distress after eating, no sleep
lessness, no nervousness and the back
aches and headaches that are the direct
results of weakened stomach, will
soon be overcome.
Ask F. A. Shurtleff 6 Co. to show you
the guarantee which they give with
every so cent box of Mi-o-na. 1t is the
one remedy they have enough faith in to
guarantee,

Johns Letter.

1t is beyond us, Greenwood. We will
refer you to certain woman we know
who may have studied out the problem by
this time. She heard the humming Of
the wires once on time, and went and
sat at the foot of the pole with her cal
close up. One of the boys came along
and asked her what she was doing. She
said that she was trying to hear the tall
over the wire. He laughed and told hel
if she would stand on her head she
could hear all right. She didn't stand,
and so she didn't hear-only the In
articulate humming.
It is often said: 81 should think that
you would feel lonesome living alone
sou Not with an open library and
three cats. We try to be thankful that
she cannot say through her lawyer,
"For cruel and abusive treatment" or,
"For non-support," and thankful that we
have no son who has gone astray and nc
daughter who has proved addle. One
satisfaction in living alone is the thought
that we are not a burden nor care to
those who have burdens and cares
enough of their own to keep them out Of
mischief and out of Jail. We are in.
dependent with our feet @ and our 12C
pounds live weight. -.
One of the outs of living alone is the
thought that the dependent creatures
might suffer if the happenings should
happen that are happening every day
all the wide world over, the slipping out
of this into that before having worked
out our notice, silently and making nc
sign. It would be nice were there

Say, look out for my barn chores and
don't forget the cats. l am taking an

Scott's "Old Mortality" has occupied
our time some of the evenings OF the
