Dear Aunf Madge and NJ. b. Sisters:
Win some one tell me the author of the
lines send? have had them in memory for
many years, since, aSalchi.d, learned them
for piece to speak. How many Of us can
remember the lessons at mothers knee, and
their strong influence through the years.
Have been silent for some time. hoping to
get q chance to send something Of interest to
N. B., but find must be commonplace after
all. What fine temperance 'lecturettes" we
have in the column, do enjoy reading them.
How strong our new Mutual, NJ. V. B., comes
out, and what strong supporters our brothers
are when they declare for the right. Too
much cannot be said on1t that question. We
ought to be proud of our splendid sheriff in
Hancock county, who .isDnot afraid to deal
with the law breakers.
thank Aunt Madge for the pretty postcard,
one of the prettiest haye-a view of Bluehill
from Parker Point. Wish some others would
exchange with me. as I'd like to get an NJ. B..
postcard album. Will the sisters OF the
'.Golden State" send me one each, though
cannot promise themI anything in return but
views of old Maine, and maybe Of Mt. Desert.
Good wishes for all the Mutuals. Hoping
to be less trifing another time, / will close.
1t must have been a Maine poet who
wrote those lines. hope some one will
give the authors name. Pm sure there's
nothing trifiing about your letter. Am
glad you liked the card. Thanks for
yours received in return. 1t was very
pretty.

MISS HUI DA kUGHLER

There is a beauty and attractive
ness in health which is far greater
than mere regularity of feature.
A sickly, irritable, and complaining
woman always carries cloud of
depression with her; she is not only
unhappy herself but is damper to
all JOY and happiness when with her
family and friends.
1t is the bright, healthy, vivacious
woman who always charms and carries
sunshine wherever she goes.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging and that everything tires
her; II her feminine system fails to
perform its allotted duties, there is
nervousness. sleeplessness, faintneSs.
backache, headache, bearing down
pains. and irregularities, causing
constant misery and melancholia,
she should remember that Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs will
dispel all these troubles. BY correct
ing the cause of the trouble it cures
where other treatment may have
failed.

THE AMERICAN.
Ellsworth. Me.

As sit to-night in the tender light
And hush of the twilight hour,
To heart and eyes doth picture rise
BY memory's magic power.
A twilight scene. full fair, ween-
Gray shadows softly falling,
High hills beside river wide.
With cataracts loudly calling.
hear once more the rush and roar
OF waters, swiftly flowing,
Adown the stream meath days last CLEAN
Brown rocks are dinly showing.
A child, see, at mothers knee,
The evening lesson learning,
With restless eyes:to western skies
From open Bible turning.
The lesson fraught with love is taught
With golden counsel blending,
And sweet, hear, like music clear,
The mothers prayer ascending.
Oh, picture rare, the woman fair
BY quaint, old armchair kneeling,
The saint-like face, the words of grace,
Devotion pure revealing.
The vision fades-the lengthening shades
OF night around me hover:
breathe a sigh for days gone by,
And the twilight dream is over.
There's a moss-grown grave near Saco's way
Where the tall trees sigh and culver,
There's n silvery song mid the shinin
throng
Beside the crystal river.
But, day by day Ger drearylway,
Or sunny path and fair.
Across the years the child still hears
The mothers words and prayer.
An influence strong shield from wrong
A quad from the temp.er's power.
Are the wordlso sure and the prayer so PER
or the by-gone twilight hour.

which is all peel, put the slices in a stewpan
with three pints OF water and boil slowly till
the peel is tender, then add three pounds Of

MUST KEEP OUT.
Railroads Can No Longer Contribute
to Campaign Funds.

Though it is not generally known
congress recently passed very string
ent act to prohibit corporations from
contributing money to political party
campaign funds the latter part of jan
uary. This will work a hardship on
the Republican state committee as in
dicated in Mr.. Stubs confession.
In the list Of the laws enacted by con-
gress, copies of which are sent to
Judge Pollock of the United States
district uort, appears the above law.
1t is short but right to the point. 1t
provides for double barreled punish
ment, not only for the corporation but
for the directors and officers as we'll
so that neither can very well escape.
The law is so brief that it might have
slipped through with out any notice.
The date of its enactment is given as
January 26. 1t follows:
An act to prohibit corporations
from making money contributions in
connection with political elections.
BE it Enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Uni
ted States of America in Congress As
sembIed, That it shall be unlawful fer
any national bank, or any corporation
organized by authority of any laws of
congress-, to make a money contribu-
ton in connection with any election
to any political Office. 1t shall also be
unlawful for any corporation what
ever to make a money contribution in
connection with any election at which
presidential and vice presidential cleo
tors or representative IN congress Is
to be voted for or any election by any
state legislature of a United States SEN
ator. Every corporation which shall
make any contribution in violation of
the foregoing provisions shall be sub
ject to fine not exceeding $1,000 and
every officer or director of any corpor-
alton who shall consent to any contri-
button by the corporation in violation
of the foregoing provisions shall upon
conviction be punished by a fine of
not exceeding 81 900 and not less than
$3.50. or by imprisonment for a term of
not more than one year, or both such
fine and Imprisonment in the discre-
ton of the court"

eral boxing bouts pulled off at the Y. NJ.
C. A. in New Orleans suggests that the
Topeka association follow this preced-

bouts with cleaner surroundings than

were among the articles conhscated on
the various joint raids by the county
officers The bottles were stolen from

surrounds their disappearance. No bot

One man who expects to run for coun-
Gilman from one of the wards of the
city came to Mayor Davis the other day
and confidentially asked him which of

The int of the joke is that none of the
committees pay anything at all. To
