Strength and Endurance

Are factors of the greatest success.
No person can do full justice to him
self without them.
In no season of the year are they
more easily exhausted than in the
spring.
We need not discuss the reason for
this here. It's enough to say there is
one. and that Hoods Sarsaparilla
gives strength and endurance, as
thousands annually testify.

sold during the eighteenth century
while between 1901 and 1900
the civilized world called for
nearly 300 more or less Independent
editions of the plays and poems. aud
it must be remembered that some Of
these were reprinted nine or ten
times and the single-volume Globe edi-
ton. published in 1864, at least seven
teen times. AS to the price of a copy,
this varied greatly, from 70 cents to
1920, while an edition might consist of
$50 or 15.t00 copies. Altogether the
nineteenth century saw 100000 sets
published in England alone, and IL
eight volumes are allowed to each set,
the total was some 100000 books.
Nearly half as much again must be al
lowed for the United States.
Fabulous prices are now offered by
bibliophiles and curio collectors for
first editions and relics. Only five
signatures exist, mere scrawls APP
pended to official documents. They
are worth $4,000 word if they came
into the market today. The original
quarto editions of his plays were orig
inaly published at II cents each.

own works sold in tens of millions the

Russian, Polish. Bohemian, and lee
landic. Moreover. some Of these are
III forty-five volumes. On the whole,
there cannot be less than $4,000 Sc

The 1907 Centennial Towns.

Seven widely scattered Maine towns
were incorporated by the Massachu-
sets legislature in 1907 and conse-
quently pass the century mark this
year. They are Denmark, Dixmont.
Friendship, Montville. Palmyra and
Porter. These are all small towns, the
largest. Jefferson, having only LIS in
| habitants when the 1900 census was
cept Friendship, there has been a
steady decrease III population during
| the past half century, some of them
having fully twice as many people in
1850 as at the present time. In all of
them. however, except Montville, there
is more wealth at the present time. if
we may judge from the assessed valua-
ton, than there was half century
ago when the population was so much
greater. They are typical New Eng
land country towns in this matter Of
decreasing population and in none Of
with events of far reaching impor-
lance. In all of them, however, there
ought to be some observance of their
centennial. 1t could not be, and need
not be, an expensive affair, but they
ought not to let such an important
milestone in their history pass wholly
unobserved. All of them except Pal
myra, which was Incorporated in June,
were incorporated in the month of
February. but naturally the observ-
ance will come during the summer sea-
spn, and most appropriately at the Old
Home period of the summer.
In two or three Of them, notably JEFF
ferson and Montville. some plans for
AN appropriate centennial observance
have been made. but as far as we
have observed the matter has been
neglected in the other towns. This is
much to be regretted but it is not too
Let them at least have a mass meeting
with addresses delivered and an his
torical sketch read, or a grand town
picnic in which everybody old and
young, could participates Let it be
something to draw the people of the
town together. get them better ac-
ouainted and give them more knowl-
edge of their towns past and greater
pride in its name; something to draw
back the absent sons and daughters in
a grand reunion. If the town at its
March meeting took no action on this
matter let the Grange, or the church
es. or a self appointed committee OF
citizens go ahead, if the town officers
fail to do so. Anyway. let there be
some sort of a local recognition of the
fact that the town has passed its CEN
fury mark as a municipality.
Each year now, many of our Maine
towns are passing into their second
century of existence. Many of them
celebrate the event in an appropriate
fashion but in too many instances the
anniversary passes unobservcd. We
hope that all of these seven towns Tor
tho sake of their own welfare, for the
enjoyment of their scattered chlidreh
and in the interest Of local history, Will
have some sort of a centennial celebra-
ton during the coming summer

FURTHER TESTIMONY CONCERN.
ING MERGER OF UNION AND
SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
MISSOURI PACIFIC OFFICIAL ON STAND
TELLS OF CONDITIONS PRIOR TO
AND AFTER CONSOLIDATION
BY HARTMAN.


Chicago, Jan. ION. G. Markham,
traffic manager of the Missouri Pacific,
was the first witness called before the
interstate commission when
the investigation Of the Hartman
lines was resumed. Mr.. Markham was
questioned by c. A. Severance OF st.
Paul, acting for the commission.
The witness was asked II the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific were,
prior to their consolidation, Compel
itors for transcontinental business. He
said they were.
Before going to the Missouri Pacific
Mr.. Markham was connected with the
illinois Central and he said that both
roads were active competitors for Pa
cifc coast business originating along
the line of the Illinois Central.
WAS there any ~lessening of com
petition after the consolidation"
1T was generally understood that
the competition vas less"
Mr.. Markham declared that in his
opinion the Union Pacific was not a
link in transcontinetal transportation,
as contended by the attorneys for MI.
Hartman, but as long as the Portland
gateway Is open 1t is a Pacific coast
line in itself. The witness said that
the Union and Southern Pacific lines,
before the consolidation, were COM
petitors for the California fruit trade
and for passenger business also.
Hartman Official Testifies.
Mr.. Markham was followed on the
stand by ]. c. Stubs, traffic director
of the Union Paciic-Southern Pacific
system, Mr.. Stubs admitted that the
offices of the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific had been consolidated. Mr..
Kellogg asked if the Chicago Office
could not route freight either via New
Orleans or Ogden. The witness said
that the line on which the traffic orig
mated dictated the route Of shipments.
Mr.. Stubs said that there vas strong
competition in Chicago for Pacific
coast business.
Mr.. kellogg asked many questions
regarding the competition of the I'm
ion Pacific and Southern Pacific de-
signed to show that the roads were,
prior to 1901 but not now, competitors.
To these questions Mr.. Stubs re-
turned not always satisfac-
tory to the attorney.
Commissioner Lane put a series OF
questions regarding competition and
Mr.. Stubs declared that there Is as
much competition today between
transcontinental lines as there ever
has been.
Would the fact" asked Commits
sioner Lane, that two roads, such as
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern. are under n ownership
have any effect on rates?"
81 don't believe it would have a
particle of effect" said Mr.. Stubs.

st. Louis, Jan. 10.-Suits to dissolve
the alleged merger of the Wabash,

Railway companies and the Pacific Elk
press company and to revoke the IL
lenses and charters Of the Pacific Elk
press company, American Refrigerator
Transit company, Western Coal and
Mining company, Rich Hill Coal Min.
ing company and Kansas-Missouri Ele-
vator company have been filed in the
supreme court by Attorney General
Hadley.
The petition alleges the stocks of
the companies named are owned by
the same interests, the Goulds, In vio-
lation of the provisions of the coustitu-
tion and laws of Missouri. Concern
ing the nature of the suits Attorney
General Hadley said:
These suits are brought for the
purpose of forcing a discontinuance of
the ownership of the stock of the Wa
bash, Missouri Pacific and Iron Noun
tain companies and the control of
these three companies, two of which
are p%aralleling and competing lines,
by the same interests and to force a
discontinuance of the ownership of the
stock by these companies in the Pa
cifc Express company, American Re-
frigerator-Transit company, Rich Hill
Coal Mining company, Western Coal
and Mining company and the Kansas
Missouri Elevator company. By this
stock ownership these roads have, In
fact, been engaging in business not
authorized by their charters and pro-
hibited by the constitution and laws
of the state. The forfeiture of the
charters of the coal mining companies
and of the Kansas-Missouri Elevator
company is prayed for. the license of
the Pacific Express company and the
American Refrigerator Transit com
pany to do business in the state Is
asked, but the forfeiture of the char
tiers of the railroad companies is asked
for only in case they should fail to
discontinue, within a definite time,
these usurpations, should the courts so
order. Illegal practices exist to a
greater or less extent In the case of a
number of other Missouri roads and
other suits will be begun as soon as
the work in my Office will permit"

to the suit filed against the Gould in

smilingly remarked:
About the only thing | can see is
the fact that Mr.. Hadley failed to in
clude International and Great North
ern and the Texas and Pacific rail
ways. He ought to have known these
were Gould interests also.
WELL" he continued, MIR. Hadley
may be right. He lives in Missouri,
the state where people have to be
shown. He will find that nearly all
the stock owned by the Pacific Elk
press company and the coal mines
mentioned are not Gould interests"
He refused further to discuss the
suit and retired to confer with his
business associates.
