WEDDING BELLS.

SHELDEN-W WHITCHER. A very pretty
May wedding occurred in East Northport
Tuesday evening, May 7th, when Miss Alice
Ida Whitcher and Mr.. Chester Sheldon of
Warren were united in marriage by Rev. G.
G. Winslow. The ceremony was performed
at the residence of the brides aunt, Miss
Stevens, with whom she has made her home
for many years. The house was prettily
decorated with evergreen and the wedding
party stood under an arch. The bride, who
was becomingly gowned in dainty white
muslin, was attended by Miss Lillian G.
Elwell, who also wore white muslin. The
best man was Mr.. Arthur A. Hamilton of
of Rockland. Only relatives were present
to witness the ceremony, after which an in
formal reception was held, and ice cream
and cake were served. A merry party of
serenaders arrived shortly after the cere-
mony and made things lively until they
were invited in and extended their congrat-
ulatons, meanwhile bestowing liberal
quantities of rice and confetti on the bride
and groom. They were all served with
wedding cake, cigars, ETC., previous to their
Wednesday morning for brief trip to
Warren, after which they will reside at the
brides home in East Nortbport. The
bride is a popular young lady who has al
ways resided in Northport, and her hosts of
friends there and elsewhere extend their
best wishes. The groom is the engineer at
Blackington's mill and has made many firm
friends during his stay.
RoBERTs-HowARD Wednesday even
ing, May 1st, happy party gathered at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Levi F. Howard, No.
12 Bay View ST., to witness the marriage of
their youngest daughter, Miss Daisy Ethel,
and Leslie b. Roberts. Rev. j. W. Hatch
performed the ring ceremony, and they
were attended by the BRIDES brother and
sister, Allie Howard and Mrs. Belle Nicker-
son. The bride wore white muslin and
white pinks, and the couple stood on white
mat under an arch of evergreen and white:
The happy couple were the recipients OF
many nice presents and after the ceremony
were greeted with an old-time serenade.

"Back to the Constitution. "

1t seems kind of irony of fate that the
Democratic party should be so ill-prepared
to take advantage of the situation. Have
we, indeed, in the old, historic sense,a Demo-
cratic party? The south is held together
under the Democratic label by the race Ques-
tion, and the race question alone. At the
north we see two factions, neither of which
will vote for the other. Yet, as a party
platform, the constitution of the United
States ought to be broad enough for each of
these elements to stand upon, and "Back to
the Constitution" rallying cry reaching
all minds and all hearts, carrying yet some
memory of the music which filled the souls

THE MASK OF HEALTH.
Few People Are Really as Well as They

Few People Are Really as Well as They
Look. Cause and Remedy.
Many people in Belfast, both men and
women, who believe themselves to be in per-
feet health, are often in the greatest danger.
The most common cause of i'll health is
indigestion, with myriad of symptoms such
as headache, sleeplessness, specks before
the eyes, pains in the back and side, distress
after eating, etc.
In the last few years the success of physi-
clans everywhere with M-o-na stomach tai b.
lets has made them known far and wide as
the acknowledged specific for the treatment
of stomach diseases. They strengthen the
digestive organs so that in few days the
stomach is in such shape that it takes care
itself of all the food that is eaten without
pain or distress.
R. III. Moody gives an absolute unqualified
guarantee that your money will be refunded
unless Mi-o-na cures. He takes the whole
risk and the remedy will not cost you pen
ny unless it cures you.

W0OING SLEEP.
A Prescription That Worked Well In
Philadelphia.

A Prescription That Worked Well In
Philadelphia.
A haggard looking man strplled into
a downtown drug store the other day
and asked the druggist for help. He
said he had trouble III getting to sleep
when he retired. No matter how
sleepy be might be during the day or
how much sleep he might have lost,
She moment his head touched the pill
lew he was wide awake and lay thus
for several hours. Once asleep he was
very hard to waken, but he had to be
up at certain hour, and In conse-
quence OF his peculiar atiliction he was
losing more sleep than be could stand.
The drug clerk regarded him quiz
zically few moments and then re-
piled:
my dear man, you don't want medi-
cine. What you want is something to
change the trend Of your thoughts
DO as a friend Of mine did. He was
troubled the same way and found that
the old folks plan OF imagining sheep
passing barrier rnd counting them
was out of date, so he began trying to
name all the states In the Union. He
soon got them so he could classify
them alphabetically. Then, when they
no longer interested him, he started on
the counties OF bis state. He now has
them at his tongues end, classified up
to the fourth letter Now be is start
ing on state capitals and their loca-
tons. Then he will take up county
seats. A moments glance at an atlas
during the day shows him when he is
wrong, and the beauty Of the plan is
that be rarely has to think along these
lines longer than ten minutes before
he is sound asleep. TO make IL short,
the study Of geography is good mar.
