The following story is told of John
Sharp Williams, U. S. senator from
Mississippi. Dressing for dinner one
day he encountered trouble with his
tie, which would not take or keep a
satisfactory set. Finally however he
arranged it, gravely donned his dinner
coat and waist coat and turned to his
secretary for his approval. Bob, do
l look alright" he demanded. Yes
replied the secretary, but, if you will
pardon the suggestion, I think the
effect would be better if you would put
on your trousers.

Keith,s Theatre, Boston.


The programme to be presented at
Keith's next week will be notable for the
number of acts that have never before
been seen in the house, among them those
of Phyllis Rankin and Harry Davenport,
Willy Puntzsr and company, the Sharp
shooting vivians, Work and Over, ath-
letic comedians, and Wood and lawson,
dancers. The balance Of the bill will be
made up of well-known performers, in
cluding Genaro and Bailey, Bon WEIGH
and Villa Holt Wakefield.
Phyllis Rankin and Harry davenport
have new sketch that is one Of the hits
OF the season.
The acrobstic act OF Willy Puntxer and
company is to "take". Many shooting
acts have been seen in vaudeville, but it
has remained for the vivisns to cap the
climax. @
Genaro and Bailey are doing susppy
terpsichorean speciality, in which Bailey
has Q chance to wear several handsome
costumes. Ben Welch's delineations OF
Hebrew and Italian character are in class
by themselves. The pianologist, Wills
Holt Wakefield, will be warmly welcomed
back. rsst

The announcement from Great
Britain is not taken 80 seriously BY
officials. There has been an effort for
three years past to get Great Britain
to adopt protective tariff. Premier
Balfour has announced himself In
favor of a s'preferential arrangement
with the colonies, which would mean
that they would have free trade with
the mother country, and the resi- Of
the world would be shut out by q
tariff wall. But Great Britain moves
very slowly in matters of national
change, 90 that it is not likely there
will be any immediate alteration in
her policy OF free trade. Things arc
evidently moving that way, however.
and such change would seriously
affect the trade of this country with
Canada and Australia. 1t must be
said, however, that while there is now
q preference in the Canadian tariff In
favor OF Great Britain a. against the
United States, our trade with Canada
has grown steadily in the past decade,
and that Of Great Britain with Cana
da has steadily fallen on.

Nature has Just one pigment on her palette
with which she produces all the marvellous
tints Of beauty. and that one pigment is the
blood. The shell-like pink beneath the finger
cherry ripeness Of the lips, the irridescent
brilliance of the eyes are all produced by the
blood Just as the permanence of a beautiful
colors with which it is painted. so the per-
manence Of beauty depends on the purity of
the blood. Paint, powder and cosmetics
won't avail to preserve beauty: Beauty begi ms
Discovery is q true beautifer, because it pro-
vides for nature that pure blood with which
alone she can paint. The use Of this medicine
will cleanse the skin, heighten the com
plexion, brighten the eyes, and give to face
and form that radiance Of health which is the
greatest charm Of beauty.
This is not q "patent medicine" because
every bottle bears upon its wrapper a full list
Of the ingredients. Send for free booklet to

The pretty teacher was trying to explain
the difference between good conduct and

the lovely flowers. Bad ones are the
weeds. Now, can any little boy or girl tell
me the difference between flowers and
weeds? What are flowers? What are
weeds?" "Weeds," said Walter, who had

want to grow, and flowers are the ones
that don't"

School Gardens,

1.-THE backbone OF . nations prosperity
is the man who makes something grow.
In our country the science Of nature study
is only in its infancy. The school garden,
that was once pooh-poohed as foolish fad,
is now accepted by the United States COM
missioner of education and by the leading
universities Of the land as vital to our
public-school system as manual training
OF any Sort" writes Herbert D. Ward in
Woman's Home Compaa;on.
The first school garden in the United
States was started sixteen years ago by
Henry L. Clapp in the George Putnam
grammar school, Boston. Over eighty
years ago Austria and Sweden began the
movement. At present no rural school is
without one. Russia is far ahead of us.
There are over twenty thousand in Aus
tria and thirty thousand in France. The
reason why school gardens are fostered by
foreign governments is that wherever they
exist there is a decrease Of misery and
poverty and an increase in the birth rate
and in the appreciation OF nature"

Out for Senator.

W. A. Walker, of Castine, is the
first to announce his candidacy for q
nomination in the political campaign
of 1908. He seeks the nomination for
senator from the western district of
Hancock county to succeed Senator
Mills, who will have served the Gus
tomary two terms. "
Mr.. Walker was born in vinalhaven
in 1855. He prepared for college at
Yarmouth academy and the Nichols
Latin school, Lewiston. He entered
Bates, but graduated from Tufts in
1887. He attended the Massachusetts,
college of pharmacy, and is q regis
tered apothecary in Massachusetts,
and in Maine. He has been engaged
in the drug business in Castine since
1894. He has been the manager OF
the Acadian, popular summer hotel
at Castine, since 1888.
Mr.. Walker has always been re-
publican, and an active and strong
party worker. He has been chairman
of the Castine republican town COM
mittee for the past five years, snd
served on the county committee for
two years. He was a candidate for
senator in 1904, but was defeated by
Senator Mills. He presided over the
county convention in 1905.
Mr.. Walker is greatly interested in
educational matters. He is superin-
tendent Of schools at Castine, and is a
member of the State board Of trustees
for normal schools. He is president
OF the Castine Gas Co., and is d.
rector in the Security Trust Co., oi
Rockland.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1907.

The experiment OF substituting
horses for men in hauling fire appar-
atus to free lie to be tried in Ellis
worth. The board of aldermen has
authorized the purchase Of two
horses, to be kept at the engine
house on Franklin street, and two
men will be detailed for duty at the
same place. The horses will also be
available for other city work. The
committee on fire department. has
figured out that this innovation will
result in a saving to the city. instead
of an additional expense, and at the
same time will increase the efficiency
OF the fire department. Time only
can show the accuracy of this esti-
mate. But, anyway, public senti-
ment clearly favors the experiment.
Those who are expecting insurance
rates TO be reduced by this innova-
tion, although step in the right di-
rection, and however successful 1t
may prove to be, will be disappointed.
Rates in Ellsworth are no higher than
in other places of its size with similar
conditions. The next thing to be done
that will put this city into a lower
rate class is telegrsphic fire alarm
system, which may come, but is not
yet in sight.

..Favored Nation. Tariffs.

EAVOEOU NAtlOn AAElnSs
There is a great deal of interest in
the threat of France to enforce the
maximum tariff against this country,
and the announcement of ex-Premier
Balfour in favor of a British protec-
tive tariff.
The situation with France is the
more pressing of the two. France
was party to the new German tariff
treaty, and in common with six other
European countries made a special
arrangement by virtue Of which they
were to accord each other the "most
favored nation" treatment. This
meant that other countries, including
the United States, would be cut out
OF such treatment as soon as their
treaties expired.
France is our third largest GUS
toner, the two leading ones being
Great Britain and Germany, so that
while the maximum tariff would not
mean shutting us out of all trade with
France and Germany, it would seri-
ously reduce the volume Of trade.
The threat Of France has been to en-
force the maximum duties in the case
Of cotton and cottonseed oil, and ex-
clude American meats altogether un-
less they have . government certi l.
cate Of microscopic inspection.
We have just escaped a trade war
with Germany by sending q commits
sion OF tariff experts to that country,
and fixing up an agreement under
which trade between che two nations
viii continue for another year, till
Congress has chance to make a
definite treaty arrangement. France
is now demanding the same thing,

Minstrels have in the past been con-

clever troupe is now the superior in
several respects. George Taylor ranks
as clever an end ma'I as the famous
