All honest and fair-minded people
will hold Governor Cobb in higher re-
gard because of the enemies he has
made. His course from the first has
been as true as the needle to the pole.
Before his first nomination he stated
his position on the most vital issue be-
fore the people, clearly and unreserved-
ly. and said that he would not ask the
votes of those who did not agree with
him. He has kept the faith and has
been consistent throughout his official
career Had he proved recreant to his
pledges and given the lie to his profess
sions he would have escaped the criti-
cisms of the advocates of notification
ard lawlessness, but he would have for
feited the respect of the God-fearing,
laW-abiding people of Maine.

Tell of It.

Nearly every reader has heard of Deans Kid
ney Pills. Their good work in Belfast still con
tinues, and our citizens are constantly adding
endorsement by public testimony No better
proof OF merit can be had than the experience of
friends and neighbors. Read this case:
Mrs. r. E. Allen of SO Congress street, Belfast,
Maine, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are remedy
in which have every confidence. 1 have used
them at various times during the last six or seven
years and from the benefit derived 1 can give
them the heartiest recommendation. l really
think they are without an equal for curing back
ache and other kidney pains and weaknesses. I
have often recommended them to my friends who
were afflicted with kidney complaint and ad-
wise every kidney sufferer to use Doan's Kidney
Pills.

others had trusted to the benevolence of
the hostess, and, as it proved, their faith
was not misplaced. The dining-room was
artistically decorated with the club initials,
and with autumn leaves as a symbol OF

pretty sight, with its center piece-a pond
banked with green, and occupied by a
colony of ducks. At each place, beside the

Then the fun began, and the wary watched
their hostess with the closest attention.
Beyond the discovery that 'Things are not
what they seem" nothing peculiar was dis
covered and delicious supperwas thorough
ly enjoyed. Hot chocolate turned out to be
boullion; FOOLS pudding was an enormous
dish of escolloped CLANS; nuts and apples
were combined in salad the baked potato
skins contained creamed chicken; the egg
shells held lemon jelly and whipped cream,
sandwiches were layer cake.and the boulhon
was hot chocolate. After due justice had
been done to all the good things the COM
pany adjourned to participate in all kinds
of games in which charades had, as usual,
prominent part "Bill'' was inclined to
be a tritle aggressive and to disturb the
peace, but the other ''fellers'' held their
own, and despite several jealous quarrels,
there were no serious casualties. The fun
went merrily on until breaking-up time
came and congratulations were bestowed
upon the hostess and her assistant for one
of the most original parties ever gotten up.

Nor do we see how man taking part
in caucus can turn his back upon the
candidates he has helped to nominate,
and whom he is pledged by his action to
support, and vote for the candidates of
the opposing party. That would at one
time have been considered very dishon-
orable. Perhaps it is today. We hope
so, as otherwise it must be admitted
that there has been a lowering of the
standard of honor.

CHAPTER XXI.
A Fisherman and His Catch.
e fisherman was disconnected. Z

The fisherman was disconnected ~ %
The reasons for his discomfort were not
plain to the eye. There had been as good
fly water any one could want;
there had been enough breeze to ruffie the
surface, enough cloud to prevent glare; he
had picked just the right flies from his
book to suit the river, and the fish rose
fine dish of trout as any man could wish
for. and had scrupuiously thrown back
everything under ten and half inches.
But even these things did not please him.
He sucked hard al his cold pipe and bit at
fate as he tramped on inn-wards through
the gathering dusk.
He came to crossroads once and
abused the Welsh authorities for not put
ting up sign post for his guidance. The
district was new to him; indeed. he had
come there for that reason; he wanted to
be alone for these last days in England.
He had ished his way up stream all day.
and instead of following the water wind
ings back again, was making his return
journey by road. And here, it appeared,
were three roads to choose from. But he
was a man OF resource. He depleted men
tally a map OF the country, found the newly
risen north star, and got his bearings, and
then trudged again with confidence
among towering mountains.
1t was night now, mooniess, chill and
dark. and the mountains hung on either
side like great walls of blackness The
all that he had presently to pull up sharply
to avoid obstruction "Hullo," he said,
"a motor car. And then aloud: Anybody
here?''
grumbling voice answered him from the
ditch. Yes, I'm the driver, and I'm here
bathing my COMPOUNDED wrist
Had smash? Can l help? What is it?

at Carter through the dusk and added,
