The Aroostook Republican is a con-
slant and persistent advocate of diver
sitied farming. In recent issue it says
'There is not newspaper in the county
that las not in times past, editorially
or otherwise contained articles advis-
ing greater diversity of crops. Pota-
toes are all right, and to make the rails
ing of this succulent tuber the principal
crop is equally all right. But it is our
humble opinion that when practically
the raising of everything else is neglect
ed so that more acres of potatoes may
be planted and dug is all wrong" While
discaiming knowledge, except in a gen.
eral way, of modern farming methods,
the editor of The Republican thinks that
If lie we've to follow the profession of
tiIjing the soil he would reserve a little
patch Of ground for garden, and would
have vegetables in season, that be would
raise little poultry enough so he
wouldn't have to buy eggs, and would
have at least one coW-so he wouldn't
have to be dependent OF some one else
for his milk and butter.

AN AGED

We recently spent a pleasant
evening with an aged couple, and
what added to the pleasantness
was the fact that although this
couple was basking in the sunset
of a we'll spent life, they were as
devoted to each other as when the
"honeymoon" first shown in their
pathway. We could not but COM
pliment our friend upon his de-
votion to his aged companion, and
in reply he sal d to us, "You mis-
take me if you think age has blot
ted out my heart. The silver hair
falls over a brow all furrowed, yet
| am a lover still. / love all ma
ture, and l love you aged dame.
Look at her. Hell face is care
worn, but it has ever held a smile
for me. Often have l shared the
same bitter cup with her, and SO
shared, it seems almost sweet.
Years OF sickness have stolen the
freshness of life; butlike the faded
rose, the perfume of her love is
richer then when in the full bloom
of youth and maturity. Together
we have wept over graves. Through
sunshine and storm we have chung
together, and now she sits with
her knitting, her cap quantity
frilled, the old style kerchief cros-
sed white and prim above the
heart that beat so long and true for
me the dim blue eyes that shrink-
ingly front the glad day; the sun
Ii ght throwing a parting farewell,
kisses her brow and leaves upon
it faint tracing of wrinkles angelic
radiance. l see, though no one
else can, the bright, glad young
face that won me first, and the
glowing love of forty years thrills
through my heart till tears come.
Though this form be bowed, God
imparts eternal life within. Let
the ear be deaf, the eye blind, the
hands palsied, the limbs withered,
the brain clouded, yet the heart
the true heart-may hold such
wealth of love that all flowers OF
death and the victorious grave
shall not be able to put out this
quenchless flame"
AS we meandered home we
could but think what a heaven
upon earth this would be if such
devotion existed between all who
had taken the marriage vow. Tt
such a couple the mellow rays o:
life's sunset are the most beauti'
full Of any on the long journey from
the cradle to the grave.

Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done
Great Service for People
in Montgomery City.

Most Montgomery City people
work every day in some strained,
unnatural position-bending con-
stantly over q desk-riding on
jol;ing wagons or ~cars--doing
laborous housework; lifting reach

in a hundred and one other ways.
All these strains tend to wear,
weaken and injure the kidneys,
until they fall behind in their
work of fltering the poisons from
the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys, put new strength
in bad backs. Montgomery City
cures prove it.

only understand how happy it
makes their parents when they
are doing well and conducting
themselves like ladies and gentle
men, it seems to us they would
make a greater effort than they
do to avoid evil deeds and acts.

this life, to parents, is found in
the C and welfare of their
children going out of their home.

Let us say to benedicts, young
and old, if you did but show an
ordinary civility toward those
common articles of housekeeping
your wives-if you would give
them a hundred and sixteenth part
of the compliments you almost
checked them with before you were
married, fewer women would seek
for other sources of affection.
Praise your wife, then, for all the
good qualities she has and you
may rest assured chat her defc-
fence are counter balanced by
your own.
We have great respect for the
woman who knows how to spare
herself, for the one who knows
when she has enough. We have

If there is one thing above
another a young man should be
ashamed of doing, it is loafing
without aim, purpose or profit, on
the streets or in stores, day after
day all week. If you have Moth
ing to do, stay at home-a part of
the time at any rate. No young
man with any self respect will
content himself with aspiring to
no higher reputation than that of
a chronic loafer and a store box
magnate. Nothing will so blunt
the higher faculties of the mind as
inactivity and no inactivity is so
baneful and malevolent in it's ef-
feet as that voluntary idleness
termed loafng.

Redistribution of Elements.

A redistribution of the chemical
elements-especially of the metals
has been going on through the agency
of man for some thousands of years.
and H. M. Atkinson, British chemist
points out that the total effect must
be considerable. The gold and other
metals concentrated in small spots
near the surface of the other rocks are
being rapidly mined and put to use.

ing carried down streams and event
ually diffused through the deposits at

for example, is mined at few places.

earth, and in the refuse of towns the
waste tin Is oxidized, carried away by
water, and on the sea bottom the fine
particles are SO scattered as to be be-

known. The effect may be modified to
some extent by the concentration of
metals in solution and other causes.

MANS LACK OF CALAMITY.
Or, as You May Look at It, Woman's
UnreasonabIeness.

H. ]. Conway, Of Chicago, president
of the Retail Clerks International

tion in st. Louis the same pay for
women as for men clerks.
when women said Mr.. Conway
afterward, do the same work as men
they should get the same wages. And
anyone who argues that this is i'm
possible seems to me at once as un-
gallant and as illogical as the famous
husband of Paint Rock.
This husband was returning home
from market late one Saturday night
with his wife. The wife was burdened
with huge market basket, a broom,
kit of mackerel-dear knows what
all. AS for the man, he carried moth
ing.
Coming to a steep hill, the wife
paused and said reproachfully:

HORSES THAT WOULDN'T DROWN
Remarkable Deeds Recorded by Two
Veracious Chroniclers.

An Albanian who has just returned
from the east, where freshets have
been the rule, tells the following about
a horse which had been attached to
a foot bridge crossing brook, to
keep the structure from going adrift.
The flood finally swept horse and
bridge down stream. Later, the
bridge was discovered lodged against
the bank, with the horse sitting quiet
ly on the former.
A bystander who had listened in
tently to this tale, remarked quietly:
Il see suthin', similyar oncet''
Indeed? What was it," asked the
story teller.
'Ye see" was the reply, "arter the
hoss l see was took down stream, no.
buddy ever 'spected to see him alive
agin. But he was a pow'ful sort O.
brute, an bout a hour arterward we
see him comm up stream a-pulin'
