against which he was unable to wreste. He was
quite as much grieved as she about it, but
there was no getting over the fact, and, on the
whole it would be more eXpedient to make the
best of this strange disease than to struggle
against it.
In reply to this sllful exposition of the ma
ture of her husbands complaint, Mrs. Peters
had emerged from the hut with cowhide in
one hand and an ak in the other. Her smile
was sunny and bland, her eyes placid, yet there
was that in her mien which occasioned Sam
and Ezekiel serious msgving.
You know me- she queried. impartially ad-
dressing them both.
Sam for self and Ezekiel, admitted that this
was so.

The shades of night were falling fast, but not
faster than the footsore Sam and Ezekiel as they
stumbled through the primeval bush fell over
rotten logs, or, painting, putting and blowing,
struggled onward through the darkness until
they reached favorte camping ground the
summit of the Laurentian Hills. In their hur-
ried flight they had omitted to secure any pro-
visions. What worse, the convenient bottle
in Sans pocket contained no stimulating eight
ming rod wherewith to beguile the careworn
hours. Putting out had its drawbacks both
for Sam and Ezekiel. The latter was more phil
osophcal than the former, for he licked his sores,
got as near as he could without burning himself
to the blazing fire which Sam, after wrestling
with his disease, had so far forgotten himself as
to light, and went to sleep with lack of SYM

The Queens Hobbies

The Queen of England once wrote in the con-
fessonal album of Norfolk lady that her fa-
vorite art is millinery, and her favorite employ
ment is "minding her own business" Her Ma
jesty's confession was modest, for her favorite
employment is looking after the welfare of 9TH
ers 1t was entirely owing to the efforts of the
Queen that the technical schools on the Sandring-
ham estate were provided. A great hobby of the
Queens is the spinning wheel, and one of the
best patroniSed departments of the technical
school is that devoted to spinning. This class was
started at the suggestion of the Queen, who be-
came the first pupil. Another hobby of Her Ma.
jestys is the dairy, which is the finest example of
its kind in Europe.

He thought of his unaborious celibate days,
when he and his dog Ezekiel fished and hunted
and swan. and slept on the same mat at even
tide but never by any chance did a stroke of
work. Now he had to work, and chop wood, and
put on "clean billed shirt" on Sundays, and
shut Ezekiel out the veranda at night. Al
the week from the interior OF the little cottage
sounded the eternal admonition to turn. He was
growing tired of it, The newly-wcdded Mrs
Peters had continued to request him to turn
ever since "sun up" Every worm was entitled
to one turn, and he, Samuel Peters, was that
worm.

The one important bill that went
through second reading In the House of
Representatives Thursday was that to
redistrict the state in judicial districts.
Two changes made in the bill during
the discussion, one switching Nor
gan and Adams counties, and the
other taking Gunnison county out of
Seventh district and placing it in the
Eleventh. The Representatives from Pu.
eblo county again made a strong fight
to have Otero placed in the Tenth dis
triot with Pueblo. The effort was un-
availing. as the Fourteenth district,
which is the new one, was created for
the beneft Of those counties in the
lower Arkansas valley. Mr.. Keil led
In the light to add Otero to the Pueblo
district, going to the length OF charg-
ing that the bill had been drawn in the
interest OF an attorney who would
hope to be made q Judge of the new
district. Mr.. Lehrritter objected to
Gurnison being added TO a district that
wcs otherwise on the eastern slope.
The makeup the judicial districts of
the state. as provided in the bill, are:

Owing to failure of the Senate COM
mittee on revision and engrossment to
properly insert the amendment recon-
mended by the committee of the whole
in the pure food bill, by Representative
Kelly of the House. 1t was necessary
Thursday to suspend the final vote
and let the bill go over, holding its
place on the calendar. The committee
on revision and engrossment was
treated to some rather searching in
quiry regarding the incompetent re-
ports it has made in this case and num-
erous others. President Harper called
attention to the very important labor
of this committee and expressed the
hope that in future there would be a
marked improvement. The members
of the committee are Senators Harri-
son. Barela, De Long. Bardwell and
Campbell. Senator Harrison said the
trouble was owing to the incompetence
of one of the clerks. He did not make
the appointments and could see no way
OF getting relief. The chair suggested
rearrangement of the clerical forces
cf the body.
Trouble came up in the House of
Representatives because committees
have failed to report back bills that
had been referred during the time
get apart for their introduction. The
trouble came up over a demand made
by Mr. Vincent that the committee on
elections report out H. B. No. 3S5 in
troduced by him and having for its OBJ
1ect the elections of United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people. The
Oil had not even been printed, he
complained, which was an act of dis
courtesy to him. 1t covered, he said,
one OF the promises made in the Re
publican platform, and, being the only
bill presented on that subject, should
nave not acted upon favorably. He
did not presume that it would be re-
ported favorably, even after his re-
quest. but he would like some kind of
report. Only one measure promised
by the Republican platform had been
passed by the House. The members
had spent their time discussing mat
ters OF minor Importance, while
string as long as mans arm of i'm
portant bills were held back, await
ing the pleasurs of the House. Mr..
keil supplemented the demand of Mr..
Vincent by asking that the committee
On railroads report out H. B. No. 104
prohibiting railway companies from
having any explosive or inflammable
articles on trains. Mr.. Dodge declared
that he thought 1t showed nerve ON
the part of the members to try to
usurp the duties and authority of com
nittees on bills. He had bills in COM
mittee that he never expected to hear
from. and he was going to take his
medicine like man. II he couldn't
get them out he would let them go,
even II 1t killed his bill for a state
song. He spoke Of the duties given to
committees by the constitution and by
the House rules, and believed they
should be permitted to go as they
read the law.

GET WHAT YOU WANT
The "Just as Good Kind" Never
Paws,

If there is one thing more than an
other that should aggravate a self
respecting person, it is to be told
that the article they ask for at their
druggists is not to be had, but that
they can have something "just as
good or better.o The principal rea-
son for such attempts at substitution
is either the desire of the storekeeper
to sell something on which he can
make more money, or he hasn't the
goods asked for, and wants to make
a sale of something in its place.
Every reader of this paper should
bear i'll mind when asking for Vinol,
the modern cod liver oil preparation
that it is for sale in Skowhegan at our
store, only, and that it can always be
had when asked tor.
The reason Vinol is so far superior
to old fashioned cod-liver oil and
emulsons is because it is made by a
scientific, extractive and concentrat-
ing process from fresh Gods livers,
combining with peptonate of iron all
the medicinal, healing and body build
ing elements of cod liver oil, but no
oil.
AS body builder and strength Gre
ator for old people, delicate children,
weak, run down persons, after sick
ness, and for Chronic Coughs, Colds,
Bronchitis, and all throat and lung
troubles, Vinol is unexcelled.
No one wants an old fashioned cod
liver oil preparation or emulsion after
once tasting delicious Vinol. Try it.
