Paris School Notes.

Teachers are requested to tell their
pupils about the exposition at James
town and the history of the colony
founded in 1907. Articles in papers and
magazines can be used to advantage. 1t
is good plan to take five minutes each
day for important current events and to
show instructive pictures. Young peo-
pie need to learn the best parts of local
and general history and to select good
reading. The magazine section of the
Lewiston Journal, The Youths Com
pauion and various magazines often con-
tain instructive articles. For several
weeks we shall publish some items of
interest in the Oxford Democrat.

To a Good Man Gone.

The following poem by Rev. Minot j..
Savage, although written for another
occasion, seemed so entirely fitting that
1t was read by Rev. Mr.. Van Schaick at
the funeral of Ex-Governor Perham as
part of the service:

But now his lips are still. and must speak;
But what words can our thoughts OF MIN por'

And heart all CRYSTAL clear, he faced the light.
For though 1t panied him, still with steadfast
As on the sun he dared look on the right.
No ear he stopped. although the voice divine
Babe him walk onward In an untried wav;
Such faith In God was his. he could not doubt
The star Of truth must lead toward the day.
Firm was he In the battle for the right.
With foot that faltered not. though haru the
The fire Of love for man that warmed his soul
Against all wrong could flame with virtuous
wrath.
Yet gentle was he as little child:
And In his tender, sympathetic heart.
Weakness and sorrow found hiding place;
No pang OF others but he felt the smart.
He loved his home As needle to the pole
So TO his fireside turned his constant heart;
No spot to him so blessed rs his home.
Yet from this home SO from q central sun.

DON'T DIE AT As.

CURE THE INDIGESTION WHICH IS SO
LIABLE TO LEAD TO APOPLExY.
People who suffer with headache, gid.
diness, palpitation, bad taste in the
mouth, drowsiness, distress after eating,
and any of the other distressing results
of indigestion, are in serious danger.
Their digestive organs cannot care for
the food properly and hence the coats OF
the blood vessels in the brain get little
nourishment, become brittle, and finally
yield to the fierce blood pressure and
one is then said to have a "shock," be
paralyzed, or die from apoplexy.
In all diseases of indigestion and nu-
triton the prescription called Mi.o-na
has proven itself of great value. 1t is
relied upon today as certainty to re-
leve the worst troubles of Indigestion
and make complete cure. ~
That Mi.o-na will cure the worst forms
of stomach trouble, cancer excepted,
and give quick relief in Indigestion is
proven by the guarantee F. A. Shurtleff
& Co. give with every 50-cent box to re-
fund the money unless Mi-o-na cures. A
guarantee like this must inspire conf
dence.
