Well Kept, Easily Kept.

1t is a gardeners saying that gar
den well kept is easily kept. OF
course this means looking well after
the beginnings of things, Keeping out
the weeds from the first, and tending
young plants carefully. Once let the
things that grow wild get fair start,
and the Towering plants be stunted,
and there is no end of trouble. The
work is more than double then.
May not this bit OF gardeners wis
dom be stretched so as to fit a great
many other things and places? Surely
it can. Careless Polly has such trouble
with drawers and boxes, her book
shelves and all Der possessions, be-
cause she let's things go until they
come to such a pass that she cannot
lay her hands upon anything, and
must spend much time in looking.
She has made her work hard by not
dolng-it Well all along.
This is. true, too, of the things that
cannot be seen and felt and handled,
buf ar not less real, for all that. The
head and the heart and the life must
be Kept in order. One cannot be
reckless and forgetful and find this an
easy task.

Do Not Wait Until Winter or Di-
seas Will Become Chronic,
Many people in Barton are troubled
withthe symptoms of offensive catarrb
which usually appear at this season of
the year.
Before the disease becomes chronic
use Hyomei. and get complete relief
from catarrhal troubles. If you do
not treat the disease promptly it may
become chronic and almost incurable.
Use Hyomei now and cleanse your
system of catarrhal troubles, and Won
will be free from Catarrh and far less
susceptible to coughs and colds during
the winter.
There is no stomach dosing with
Hyomei, just breath it.

LIFE IMPRISONMENT.

The state of Maine occupies prom
lnence by virtue of her natural re-
sources and her laws. Her rugged sea
coasts and pine forests produce ro-
business of character for the upbuili-
Ing OF the union, and her laws work
OUT the good or the bad in two vital
principles of prohibition and of life
imprisonment.
mSIne's prosperous homes and null
tlplylng saving banks encourage pro-
hioltion and local option in other
stats; but the records of criminalisy
demonstrate that life imprisonment
Is less humane than the penalty of
death.
Casual newspaper reading in one
month only of last year gave reports
OF I'VE Maine towns stained by murder;
and, In addition, murderous assault
and suicide increased the number to
seven. If this proportion continued
through twelve months, there would
be recorded eighty four homicides
and murderous assaults. The same
average in ten years would amount to
$40 among 100000 adult population.
The cause is not difficult to find. It
Is not in the people thems elves, for
they are noble, good hearted, stall
wart folk.
1t is not in the conditions of life, for
youth is reared under inspirations of
climate and scenery that the world en-
vies. livelihood is gained in vocations
that tend to peace and Righteousness
and homes are established amid influ-
ences of education, temperance and
religion.
1t is not in the immigration for only
IA per cent are foreign born.
AS the cause of frequency of homi-
cides is not found in the people or
their environments it must be in the
laws that were designed to prevent
murder, and especially SO since other
states under the death penalty law
have fewer homicides in proportion
to the population.
Massachusetts with five times larger
population made up of all races nd
temperaments, largely foreign born
with thousands carrying concealed
weapons in overcrowded sections
where tenement and factory condi
tions often breed strife, has compare
lively little bloodshed This is due te
the threat in the death penalty law by
which every man is warned that if he
robs another Of the right to exist hi
must forfeit his own life. Therefore
few seek their own death by killing
others.
- Life imprisonment, on the othel
hand, does not restrain men by {
threat of a calamity equal to what th'
crime of murder brings upon the vic
tim. Instead of being deterrent be
fore it rather follows the crime as
, punishment. It also is of uncertain
severity, for in practice it is not 81
much imprisonment for life but for al
indefinite term, which, owing to par

A PEANUT PARTY.

Have you ever taken part in a
"Peanut Spree?" If you haven't
there is. some fun in store for you;
and if you have, we'll, you'll be sure
to want to indulge in it again.
This amusement will almost fill an
evening, Or it may be stopped when
you WILL. Test is added to the
"events" if prizes be offered to the
successful contestants. The prizes
should be neatly wrapped in tissue
paper, and some appropriate inscrip-
ton should be on card attached to
the package.
Some of the prizes may be of use
full kind, but most of them should be
ridiculous or ludicrous. They are all
to be placed together on table or in
a basket, and each winner makes his
own selection just after winning, and
opens the package Immediately, so
that everybody may see what he gets;
he should also read aloud the inscrip-
|: ton on the card.
Any number may take part in the
"sprees,;' but more than. ten might
make it confusing. A leader should
be chosen whose duty it is to select
the contestants, to decide all ques-
tons in dispute, if any, keep the
! records of the contestants, and award
the prizes.
Here are suggestions for the
"events" of the spree: .See -,
Fill a dish with peanuts, and LED
each one guess how many ale con-
tanned in it; the one who gnesses
nearest WINS
See who can hold the greatest
number of peanuts in his left hand
without the aid of his right in putting
them there.
Fasten peanut to a thread, and'or
the floor place a vase with a mouth
just large enough for a peanut to pass
through. Let each take turn at
holding the peanut by the thread
about foot above the vase, and thfs
dropping it. The one who succeeds
in dropping the peanut into the vase
wins. If no one succeeds in the frs
inning, let all try again. If more
than one succeeds, they must try
again until there is only one.
Place large hatpin upright on the
floor, and let each contestant throw
five peanuts at it, one at a time; ths
one who makes the1peanut 60 near
est the pin and remain there wins.
Strew peanuts over the room abou
foot apart, and let each contestan
take turn at going from one side t.
the other, and back again. The ont
who does this in the least time by tn
watch, without stepping on peanut
wins.
Give each contestant ten peanuts
and at signal Ilet all begin to shel
them, removingi also the timer skin
The one who finishes first, withou
breaking kernel, wins. If on
breaks into more than two nature
divisions of the nut, another peanu
must be shelled in its place.
= Other "events" may suggest them
selves to prolong the amusement.
