Forty-six members of the Hoch
family have landed at Castle Garden,

to Kansas, where they expect, it is an

dated Boston, which read as follows:
"Forty-six in one family named
Hoch arrived here en- route to settle
in Kansas and join their kin at To-
peka. Four generations of Hochs in
the party. one baby born here"
When this message was shown to
Homer Hoch, private secretary to
Governor Hoch, he ran his fingers
and cried:
"Great Scott must telephone out
to the executive mansion so that they
may get ready. This catches US at a
bad time. We were just house clean

family have been hanging themselves
on pegs for some days. But we will

there is in the mansion to house 46
more Hochs, and possibly we may be
obliged to put some cots in the barn.
OF course we will be delighted to see
them"

immigrants bear to your family?'' was
asked.

BREAD ON THE WATER.
Returns After Many Days in Form of
$1,000 Bill.

New York, Nov. 2.-On Christmas
eve 1898, John McNulty, man in
moderate circumstances, while re-
turning to his home aided a beggar,
who stopped him on the street and
applied for aims. The man insisted
on getting his benefactor's name
and address, saying that some day
perhaps, he might be able to show
his appreciation.
McNulty thought no more of the
matter until last night upon return
ing from his work he opened a letter
which had come for him and found
enclosed a thousand dollar bill and a
brief letter which read:
Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find
$1,000 in payment for your kindness
and your Merry Christmas given to
me nine years ago, when I was broke
and wanted a meal. I have travelled
considerably in many places since
that night but I have always remem-
bered your kindness Take this and
use it. Believe me, Yours P. F."
McNulty has no idea of the identity
of the grateful man. The letter was
mailed from the financial district in
this city.

LIKE MAGIC"
New Food Makes Wonderful Chances

When man has suffered from dvs-
peps1a so many years that he can't re-
member when he had a natural ap-
petite, and then hits on a cure. he
may be excused for saying aft acts like
magic"
When it is a simple wholesome food
instead of any one of a large number
of so called remedies in the form of
drugs, he is more than ever likely to
feel as though sort of miracle has
been performed
A Chicago man, in the delight of re-
stored digestion, puts it in this way:
Like magic, fittingly describes the
manner IN which Grape-Nuts cured
me of poor digestion, coated tongue
and loss of appetite, of many years
standing.
Il tried about every medicine that
was recommended to me. without re-
lief. Then 1 tried Grape-Nuts on the
suggestion of a friend BY the time
had finished the fourth package, nv
stomach was all right, and for the
past two months, I have been eating
with a relish, anything set before me
That is something L had been una bIe
TO do previously for years.

weak stomach as something really
wonderful It builds up the entire

The Office of Road Commissioner.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: The
time is drawing near for town meeting and
l desire to call attention of the voters to the
shOrt-Sighted and extravagant policy prac-
ticed in many towns Of eecting new man
to the Office of road commissioner each year.
1t should be remembered that road commits
sOners generally receive their education in
matters of road building and maintenance
from their actual experience after being
elected to office. This being so, it certainly
behOOveS every town now enjoying the SER
vices of competent man as road commits
soner to see to it that that man is retained
in office.
No business enterprise would long succeed
with a change in management every year.
Why then, should we expect efficiency and
economy in our highway departments with
a change in the head of the department each
year? We hope the voters will think this
matter over seriously.
PAUL d. SARGENT,
Commissioner of Highways.
Augusta, Me-, Feb. q, 1907.
In this connection it may be stated that
suggestion has been made that Belfast
should have three road commissioners, the
first board to be elected for terms of one,
two and three years, and one member to be
elected each year thereafter for term of
three years, thereby maintaining continu-
GUS board. The matter of compensation
was not decided upon. Of course this would
require an act of the legislature, and it is
too late to do anything in that direction
