MORE USES FOR DEEESEINs.
Prices Therefore Going Up in the
Maine Woods the Last Year or So.

One firm in Bangor, Me-, has agents
all over Northern Maine buying deer
hides, and thousands of the hides a-e
received here every season and
shipped to Boston to be tanned.
writes the Bangor (Me) correspond
ent of the New York Sun
1t is only within the last year or
two that the traffic in deer hides has
reached large proportions. A few
years ago a deer hide of the best
quality could be bought for half q
dollar. and the hides were thought
of SO little account that unless the
man who killed the deer had some
use for the skin he threw it away.
The deer hides are now used by
the manufacturers OF gloves and
other articles, and there is a steady
demand for them. The demand is
shown by the fact that the hides have
increased almost threefo!d in value
during the last two years.
The hide Of the Maine deer has
been found to be excellent material
for making gloves, pocketbooks, bind
ings and many small leather articles.
There is a good profit in these artil
cles for the manufacturer because the
deer hides can be bought cheaper
than almost any other kind Of leath-
er that would answer the purpose.
Those who are aware of the largo
traffic in deer hides in Maine fear it
may mean another danger to the big
game which roams the Maine woods.
A dealer in hides must have license,
which costs IS. Under the protection
of this license the dealer can buy as
many deer hides as he can get hold
of. Therefore the question is asked
whether with the dealers Offering
good prices for deer hides and hav-
ing agents all over the hunting re-
gions buying up the hides an incen-
tive will be furnished to prompt men
to hunt deer for the money there is
In them.

THE AMERICAN PASSION.
Charles r. Copeland Gives Entertain.
ing Lecture to Harvard School
Mnnohore

Members.
In the new lecture hall, Cambridge.
Mr.. Copeland gave one of his char.
acteristic lectures. His talk was on
"The American Passion" and he spoke
in part as follows:
According to many intelligent for
eign observers the American passion
is for wealth. The scramble for dol
lars, and as many of them as possible,
is the occupation of the average
American. That this is at least su-
perficially true in not few instances
cannot be denied, and that the scram-
BILE is not always honest, recent dis
closunes in politics, railroads, insur'
ance. and meat-packing, make equally
incOntroveruble.
But do not the intelligent foreign
observers mistake an effect for a
cause?
rs not success rather than mere
wealth the chief American ambition?
Il think that it is and that only
the enormous opportunities of the last
twenty-five years, together with the
complete liberation of capital and a
certain lack of imagination, have
made money so often the only appar-
ent object of American endeavor."
"At all events, the easy, obvious
reply to English and foreign critics
is that Europeans also desire success
and strive for it, and that their sue
ko1 <h4
money.
The supposed American reply Is
undeniably true; but SO is the sup
posed foreign rejoinder; namely, that
English and foreign men do not strike
so feyerishly. They have more inter-
ests outside of their business and pro-
fessions. they recreate themselves
with these. and-where lies the main
difference-they generally propose
to themselves a competence and re-
:irement at an age that promises
many years Of happy, peaceful living
With the American, retirement is
usually enforced. Age, or failure IN
health, or failure in business, Is the
determining cause. In the lives or
too many American men there Is no
afternoon, and very little morning.
Night follows noon with tropical sud
denness. There is no leisurely ram
Bile, through quietly lengthening
shadows, to mans long home. The
graveyard is just round the corner
from the Office.
"This is very far indeed from rep
rehending large fortunes or those who
accumulate them. Teachers should
be slow indeed to find fault with
phase Of capital that has resulted In
such magnificent gifts to colleges, II
braries, museums, scientific enter
prisee, and-through pensions - to
teachers themselves. In fact the
miser is a character almost unknown
in America. He is an Old World
character altogether. II Americans
acquire largely, they spend generous
", and give magnificently. There
have never been such givers in the
world before.
Teachers, parents and newspapers
should urge on Americans an avoca-
ton as we'll as a vocation; and one OF
the most important avocations is civic
and political work. Too many young
men are unwilling to do political
work in a small way, such as that al
forded in municipalities or even In
States" The lecturer suggested that
a taste for good reading, for music.
for art, or for writing where such
existed should be developed and IN
each case desirable avocation was
thus acquired. Transcript.

cussing the findings of our insurance
commission notes that for the most
part the abuses are common and that
our commission, like that of New
York, finds the cost of insurance to
be too high. The Republican con-
cludes: I'm this connection is to be
noted a current United States consul
lar report from Germany which says
that the costs of running the German
life insurance companies during 1905
amounted to only 14.7 per cent Of
the premium receipts. In the case of
our American companies the expense
cost is Sbout double that percentage
and the net cost of life insurance to
American policy holders on similar
assumptions of mortality and inter-
est must be far higher, notwithstand-
ing the fact often paraded by Amer
ican companies that the gross pre-
MUM charge in Germany is higher
than it is here. There is no good
excuse for these extravagances in the
American business, and still less ex-
cuse for their continuation after tho
public exposure which has been made.

WHO USES HYOMEIq ?
The Best People in Hillsboro, Say
w. r. Smith & Co., Guaranteed
In Catarrhal Troubles.

No other remedy or treatment for
catarrh has ever been as popular or
made so many remarkable cures in
Hillsboro as Hyomei.
The best people attest its curative
virtues, say w. II. Smith g. Co., who
are the local agents. The fair way in
which Hyomei was sold, to refund
the money unless it gave satisfaction,
was the best proof wher 1t was intro.
duced that IL possessed unusual cura-
tive powers. w. II. Smith g. Co.,
took all the risk of the treatment
giving satisfaction, and left it to
the purchasers to be the Judge.
Later, when Hyomei was used and
recommended by our well-known ply
siciaus and business men and their
wives as treatment that absolutely
cured catarrh, no matter how serious
or long standing, the sales rapidly
grew and today there is no other
remedy in w. r Smith & Co.'S stock
that has such a large and staple
sale.
The first breath of Hyomei's heal.
ing air kills all catarrhal poison.
Try Hyomei TODAY on " Il Smith
& Co.'S. offer to refund the money If
the treatment does not give you
satisfaction.

This Town Has its Share OF Dread

matism, take teaspoonful of the
following mixture after each meal
and at bedtime
Fluid Extract Dandelion, oue-half
ounce Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists,
and are easily mixed by shaking them
we'll in a bottle. Relief is generally
felt from the first few doses.
This prescription, states a well
known authority in Cleveland morn
ing paper, forces the clogged.up, in
active kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, which causes
Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous disea sc,
but dangerous to life, this simple
recipe will no doubt be greatly valued
b. many sufferers here at home, who
would at once prepare the mixture to
get this relief
1t is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, a
dose or two daily, or even few times
week, would never have serious
Kidney or Urinary disorders or Rheu.
matism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which
really relieve are scarce, indeed, and
when you need 1t, you want it badly,
Our druggists here say they will
either supply these ingredients, OF
make the mixture ready to take, Il
any of our readers so prefer.
