BORN IN BELFAST.

A Successful Business Man in Watervilie
Seldom E. Whitcomb Of the grocery
firm of Whitcomb & Cannon has been
thirty years Oh one business street in
Watervile, which is something of a
record. Mr.. Whitcomb was born in
Belfast, Aug. 6, 1867, and was chris
tened Seldom Eli Whitcomb. His par
ents moved to Waterville when the
Belfast train stopped at the Winslow
station and when masons were placing
the foundation for the first Lockwood
cotton mill. Mr.. Whitcomb was but
five years old when he took up resi-
dence IN Waterville. He has resided
there ever since. He was educated in
the common schools in the days when
the boy who wanted an education work
ed afternoons and evenings and attend
ed school during the remaining hours
OF his waking. Mr.. Whitcomb at the
age OF ten years began working fore
moons In the famous old Derucher mar
ket, then managed by Peter Derucher
on Main street and where the store of
Stewart Bros. now is. Mr.. Whtcomb
attended school in the afternoon. He
we'll remembers the first barrel of flour
he was ever able to take up stairs.
Much of the light groceries were car
rled to patrons in baskets and the
grocer's boy was the fellow who lugged
1t on his arm. Mr.. Whitcomb remain
ed with the Derucher market until
years after the original proprietor died
ana was for several years with the firm
OF Stewart Bros. Ten years ago, on the
opposite side OF the street from where
he began to get acquainted with hard
work, Mr.. Whitcomb entered into CO.
partnership with George L. Cannon
and tins firm has since conducted a
Well appointed grocery and meat store.
Mr.. Whltcomb became member of
the local fire department many years
ago ana served ten years as foreman
and captain of ladder truck No. l. He
CLAIMS to hold the record for Water
ville IN point of service and attendance
upon duty. During his ten years as
ire laddle he missed but two fires and
three alarms. The firemen of Water
vile had DO tappers in their homes
then. Mr. Whitcomb has served two
terms as member of the common coun-
Gil and is today the Republican alder
man from ward five. Mr. Whitcomb
IS member of Haveock lodge, K. of
T., the present captain of Bayard COM
pany, U. r. X. F., and trustee of the
subordinate lodge. He is president of
the Waterville Retail Grocers' Asso-
cation and treasurer of the Waterville
DRIVING club. He is good looking, but
married, and resides at No. 20 Western
avenue, where he erected a handsome
residence few years ago.

ASKS US TO PRINT IT.
Tells How To Prepare Simple Mixture To
Overcome Dread Disease.

CHS hOW ~ q MlAluIG 10
Overcome Dread Disease
To relieve the worst forms of Rheuma-
tism, take teaSp00nful of the following
mixture after each meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract DandeliOn, one half ounce :;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be OBJ
tanned from our home druggists, and are
easily mixed by shaking them well in a bot
tie. Relief is generally felt from the first
few doses.
This prescription, states a well-knoWn
authority in a Cleveland morning paper,
forces the clogged-up, inactive kidneys to
filter and strain from the blood the poison
Gus waste matter and uricacid, which caus-
eS rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the most pain
full and torturous disease, but dangerous to
life, this simple recipe will no doubt be
greatly valued by many sufferers here at
home, who should at once prepare the mix
ture to get this relief.
1t is said that person who would take
this prescription regularly, dose or two
daily, or even a few times week, would
never have serious Kidney or Urinary dis
orders or Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it, Good Rheu-
matism prescriptions which really relieve
are scarce indeed, and when you need it,
you want it badly. Our druggists here say
they will either supply these ingredients or
make the mixture. ready to take, If any OF
our readers SO prefer.

THANKS.

For the worlds, whose wOndrous story
Makes known Thy awesome might,
For the suns, whose founts of glory
Pour forth Thy golden light,
For the heights, supreme with grandeur,
Where but Thy feet have trod,
For the depths, profound with wisdom,
We thank Thee, o our God.
For the hills, where rills are dancing,
And the birds trill sweetest lays,
For the wales, where brooks are glancing,
And the winds sigh softest praise,
For the woods where shadows slumber
And dreaming branches nod,
For the fields where all is beauty,
We thank Thee, O our God.
For the heart of conservation,
10 pulse with love so strong,
For the voice of alteration,
To watt alOft in song,
For the strength of faith unfailing,
To walk through ills unawed,
For the dream of joy transcending,
We thank Thee, o our God.
For the trust, so pure and lowly,
When grief has wrung the soul,
For the hope, so sure and holy,
That gains the final goal,
For the prayer, devoutly winging,
As, weary, here we plod,
For the bliss, awaiting yonder,
We thank Thee, o our God.
