Whv Horses Shy,

The horse SHE'D at a piece of white
paper. and the rider tumbled off into
the mud
at is well for the world" said an
automobilist, smiling, that it is ceas
ing to use the horse for a servant. The
horse is half blind giant, with the
mind of baby. No wonder, then, that
when we trust out lives in his keeping
he is apt to go back on us.
His main trouble is his eyes. So
poor is the horses sight that he mis-
takes a bank of snow for fierce white
beast A mud puddle at his feet is n
yawning chasm. A shadow flung across
his path is black terror seeking his
life; hence the weakminded nearsight-
ed, powerful horse goes through life
beside himself with fear. He Is no
more to be trusted than a maniac, and.
like n maniac he sees a monster await
ing him at every corner. Yet we get
on his back, fools that we are - New

For the first time in three years all
rail- communications from San Francisco
and the north were severed Thursday of
last week as a result of the floods and
washouIs and landsldes. ALI three
trans continental lines are effected. The
southern Pacific Coast line was block ed
by cavern at Santa Margaritta tunnel,
north of San Luis Obispo and the traf-
tic suspended many days. The Valley
Line was closed by slide at San Fern
ando tunnel In addition slides occur
red at Tunnel No. II and at Teha
chipi. The Santa Fe and Southern
Pacific eastern lines were open The
Santa Fe transferred passengers to boats
at Stockton and expected to maintain
traffic between there and San Francisco
by that means. The salt Lake line was
in worse condition than ever. For weeks
all through traffic on the lark road was
suspended owing to the destruction of
so miles of road bed in Meadow Valley
Canyon in Utah. Hundreds of men were
working necessarily to bridge the gap.

PERMANENT CURE.
Rheumatic Sufferers Rejoice
Receiving Such Splendid Results
from Ovic.O'

If convention could be held of all the
Rheumatic sufferers who have been cured
completely by the use of Urie-O, there would
be such rejoicing as to convince every skep-
tic that there at last has been found the true

his way to health. 1t matters little how long
one has suffered from the trouble nor how
intense the suffering, Uric-O will cure it,

and Inhamatory Rheumatism yield at once
o this mighty healing agent. Druggists and
physicians everywhere are gladly recommend
ing Uric.O for Rheumatism because they
know its wonderful curative properties can
not be exaggerated.
Uric-O acts directly upon the blood, mus
cles and kidneys. It neutralizes the uric
and rheumatic acid poison, and drives it
from the blood
The store Of Frank W. Bucknam is the
"Ilome of Uric-O' in Skowhegan and he
sells and guarantees it for 7sc and SI.oo

off. Try ii and try it today. Ask Mr.. Buck
nam about it and learn from him the many
cures Uric @ has effected right here in your
own town. II you desire, you can test and

Easter falling on so early date this
year March 81, makes some Easter sta-
tistics interesting. The earliest date on
which Easter can fall is March %. The
moon must then be full on March FL and
that date must be a Saturday. Such q
combination of circumstances Ia extreme
ly rare. Easter Sunday has fallen as
early as March 20 In 1903. in 1761 and in
1877. and 1t will fall on March % again
In 1890, 2076 and 2144. The latest date
on which Easter can fall is April %.
That happened In 1886. In 1874 and in
