was then but seven years of age,
when the British landed on the Allan
tic coast and took some prisoners. His
father went to Camden to help repel
the invaders.
1t was in the year of his birth that
Robert Fulton operated the first steam
er on the Hudson river. The first
railway line was a short stretch Of
track laid on Beacon street, Boston.
1t was the year of the great Lewis
and Clark expedition in the Northwest
territory; Napoleon Bonaparte was at
the zenith of his power, and the poets
Longfellow and Whittier were born
that year Then the Declaration of
Independence was but thirty-one years
old. Washington had been dead but
eight years when Uncle" Abner was
born. Reference to these events helps
us to realize the great span covered by
this one mans life. On the anniver-
sary of his one hundredth birthday he
wrote the following letter to his
friends:
Hope, Me-, Aug /, 1907.
To My Friends:
The great love and respect shown me on
this my one hundredth birthday ami
versary by those among whom and your
ancestors my whole life has been spent
are worth to me more than all the gold in
Christendom. In the journey of life we
should leave pathway which those who
come after us need have no fear to follow.

Dear Sir: We should like to print
your opinion of this guarantee in this
paper, where all your neighbors will see
it:
Well furnish the paint to paint half
the house of any fair man on these terms:
He shall paint the other half with what
ever other paint he likes; same painter
(any fair MANI same way the way of
all fair painters, TO make a good Job.
If our half doesn't take less gallons of
paint by one-tenth to seven-tenths, We'll
give him the paint. If our half doesn't
take less labor by one-tenth to seven
tenths, We'll give him the paint If our
half isn't sounder three years hence, Wen
give him the paint If our half isn't
sounder six years hence, We'll give him
the paint. Any color.
We say one-tenth, because there are
two or three paints with about that diff
ference: we say seven-there are dozens
of paints with about that difference-we
say one to seven, because there's a hun
bred that waste one-third of the money
paid for both paint and labor.
Is there paint we haven't covered?

venerable gentleman rode in car
riage. In the afternoon speechmak-

of the people. Aubrey Dunton of Mel

Simmons, master of Mount Pleasant
grange, made short speech. Arthur
Dunton of Belfast gave the principal
address. Hon. John Dunton also spoke.
An original poem by Rev. Z. w. Pre-
BILE was sung by the choir. Guilford

Silver Looks.

Silver hair is always becoming and
enviable possession. In old age 1t gives
an air of softness and sweetness to the
face, while in conjunction with young
skin and fresh complexion nothing can
be more charming. The silver tone Of
the hair throws up skin and eyes to
perfection, besides adding an air of dis
tinction to an otherwise everyday type
of face.
Women who up to now have been
foolish enough to hide their beautiful
silver tresses under unbecoming and
hard toned hair dyes are this season al
lowing 1t to be seen in all its natural
beauty, this state of affairs being large
Iy due to the fact that the tones of null
berry, claret and purple now 80 modish
look their best when worn by woman
possessed of snowy hair.

COMINGl A SPRING PICNIC
Make Things Pleasant at
Whites Academy

The ladies of st. Simeon's Guild are
planning great things for the Spring
picnic which they expect to hold at
Whites dancing academy, April 80, to
benefit the st. Simeon's Episcopal
church. Those who attended the
picnic held during the winter by these
very same ladies well remember the
pleasant evening. Many requested
that it be repeated and spring picnic
is the result. The price of admission
is unique. All that is required is that
the ladies bring boxes or baskets con-
tanning luncheon for two and name
card cancelled therein. The boxes and
baskets will all be sold at auction, to
be purchased by the gentlemen, who
eat the luncheon with the lady whose
name they find inside their purchase.
It's sure to prove jolly occasion and
there'n be lots of jolly picnic games and
dancing.

l. q =
pfol1 berchants met with start
ling experience last week that quite
upset his equilibrium for the time
being. Two young maidens on mis-
chief bent had asked him to take them
driving in his delivery wagon. OF
course he eagerly signified his willing
ness and the day and hour was set.
Theappointed time came and with beat
ing heart our hero went to thedoor with
dignified walk and knocked. No one
answered and he knocked some more
until his knuckles were sore, then he
took survey of the fixtures before
him and almost tainted then and there
Before his staring eyes was pinned a
small placard which plainly said
Your Miss Lemons are gone!
Good bye, Mr.. Lemon, good bye!
With a rather hopeless expression on
his countenance he found his way
back to the produce wagon alone with
the rest of the cabbage heads, onions
and lemons. To accentuate his dis
comfort the young maidens, were in
hiding during his visit and viewed the
whole performance. Amt it awful?
" " ~
Our thoughts seem to turn to lemons
this week Have you heard of the
Beneficial Order of the American
Lemon which is going the rounds?
The initiation fee can hardly be called
prohibitive, as 1t is only five cents
and there are no dues. How society
can be beneficial and have such
small income is easily explained. The
candidate is approached by a friend
with request for five cents. If he
bites and forks over the coin he is
lemon in good standing. Very simple,
isn't it?
There is strict rule in the society
against asking for more than nickel.
Maybe there's good reason for 1t ! This
society is similar to the "Buffaloes"
all the vogue few yeors ago, and it
will probably go the same road.

WILDWOOD CREST NOTES

The Wildwood Crest Theatre which
last season was in an incomplete state
is being remodeled, improved and en-
larged and the work is being pushed
rapidly, SO that before the beginning
of the summer season it will be equal
to any amusement pier on the beach.
The theatre on the pier is also being
re-modeled and a stock company of
the highest class is being formed for
the opening of the seasons attractions
w. /. Flagg, of New York City, of
theatrical fame, has been secured to
manage the Crest theatre for the COM
ing season and he is now forming one
of the best stock companies that ever
appeared on the island. Comic opera
will be "Crest speciality" and most
of the members Of the cast will hail
from New York city. Manager Flagg
states that the season will probably
open with magnificent presentation
of the "Mikado," to be followed with
many of the finest comic operas of the
year. Among the popular members
of the company will be Mr.. Geo. T..
Buzby, late of the Whitney Grand
Opera Co., who will appear in all
basso- -profundo roles. An exception

Baker Brothers have an interesting
exhibit at their Wildwood board walk

bottle contains sand from Long Beach,
California, a fair sample of Pacific
coast sand, the other, sand from Wild
wood Crest. The difference is startling.
While the sand from the Pacific is
coarse and dirty looking, the Crest
sand Is clean, smooth and compact.

see the samples.

sued clearing house certificates
which courageously and honestly
stated upon their face that pay
ment would be made when the
clearing house committee deemed
advisable. This was done not for
the purpose OF deceit or to be dis
honest, but simply to give those
who received clearing house GER
tifcates due and timely notice Of
the purpose and intention of the
banks that issued them. Like

ISOLATION and banks in it's own

neatly turns the tables on Harper's

The current number of Har-
per's Weekly contains an editorial
roast OF the clearing house GER
~titicateS issued il Las Vegas, New

the financial difficulties Of the west
were wholly due to the suspension

and the issue by these banks OF
clearing house certificates and
other forms of Johnsmith' Curren-
cy-as it is now called-it would
seem that the Weekly might have
found a target for its ammunition
nearer home. The New York
writer seems to find special o.
lection to the statement that the
Las Vegas certificates will be paid
when the clearing house committee
thinks it is advisable, but the only
fault with this seems to be that the
New Mexicans have boldly and
honorably stated upon the face of
these certificates the fact relating
to their payment, which fact the
