Their Adjournment Made to June IT.

The continued hearing in the case OF

was held before the referee in bank
ruptcy for Kennebec county, at tho
library at tie Court House at 10 O'Clock
Monday morning. There was large
attendance of creditors and others In
terCsted in the proceedings.
Mr Penney was subjected to rigid
F., cross-examination by Arson M. God
a, darl of Augusta, the attorney for the
principal creditors.
Mr.. Penney stated that he purchased
q second hand hack in Boston for 1928
He didn't have much use for it so he
thought that he would sell it to his
! brother for use in the 10-cent team bus
mess at Waterville. He made trade
with his brother and sold the hack
harnesses, sled, sleigh, Concord wagon
ana pung for $685. in all The trade was

$13S5 as near as he can remember The
hack and the heavy horses We're shipped
to WatervIlle the next day and the rest
of the stuff was sent Monday. His
brother paid him the money in bills and
he put it with the other money in the
bed.
Attorney Goddard attempted to find
out what the witness did with the
money which he hid in the bed, but he
said that he did not remember of pay
ing any bills of any size with it and
thought that he must have taken it to

On December "a, 1906, the witness
shipped five horses to Jonas Edwards
g. Son at Auburn and they were credit
ed to an old note. He arrived home
from Boston Oh the late train Saturday

between $50 and o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon. He notified the policeman at
the door of the sales stable who took
him to the Hanover Street station
where he was turned over to two in

OUR WONDERFUL LANGUAGE.

Eight rowers stood up in row, The boat was all ready to go, One said he would show them all how The rowers broke up in row. The captain said, Come, let us row." And silencedthe ones that said No" And then from the stern to the bow The rowers went on with their row. A man tried to speak, and he spoke, I'd treasure to seek, and l soke:
 The bold robbers crept
 And robbed as I slept I'd vengeance to wreak, and I wroke. "They wanted to steal. and they stole; one thought he should squeal so he
 squole.
 He told me the facts
 Concerning their acts What he could reveal he revole. 'I dared them to fight and they fought; My dog tried to bite, and it bought;
 It ran them away
 This tale of the fray I wanted to write, so 1 wrought. Hence, thus you may see, as l saw, That what I would be I have baw;
 The robbers cried: Peace.
 Our robbing will cease If you will agree I agraw. I've wanted to sing, so have sung Attribute to our mother tongue
 Which runs in such ways
 The tribute of praise I wanted to bring I have brung.' A stranger sat under a bou2h And thought it was pleasant enough Until with a cough came cough Whose hide was a beautiful bough The stranger leaped up on the bough And cried for the cow to go through To where there was hay in mough- The COW ambled on, with a 'Mough.'

ELLEN TERRYS COOKING.

At twenty-one years of age Ellen Terry had been on the stage long enough to feel the necessity of a long vacation. In the October McClure's she goes back to those six years of the simple life with much delight:
 Actors must take care of them selves and their voices, husband their strength for the evenings work, and when it is over they are too tired to do anything! For the first time l was able to put all my energies into living. Charles Lamb says, think, that when he left the East India house, he felt embarrassed by the vast estates of time at his disposal, and wished that he had a bailiff to manage them, but I knew no such embarrassment. l be- gan gardening, the purest of human plea I learned to work, and in time cooked very well, though my first essay in the difficult art was reward ed with dire and complete failure.
 Tt was a chicken! Now, as all the chickens had names-Sultan, Duke Lord Tom Noddy, Lady TeaZle and so forth-and as I was very proud of them as living birds, it was great wrench to kill one at all to start with It was the murmer of Sultan, not the killing of a chicken. However, at last it was done, and Sultan deprived of his feathers, floured, and trussed. l had no idea how this was all done, but I tried to make him sit up nicely like the chickens in the shops.
 He came up to the table looking magnificant-as large as any turkey.

THE LATEST MODES
 IN THE METROPOLIS
The New Tailored Suits-Japanese ef- fects-Coats and Wraps-Capes- New Skirts-Evening Gowns.

The smart American society woman is more distinctive than ever this win ter. Fashion offers her so many lit tie ways by which she can set off her figure and make her gowns individual both by their trimmings and by select ing the most stylish and becoming ma terials in the shops and in this way she can, without difficulty justify her reputation for being the best dressed woman in the world. The fall fashions finds two radically different features are remarkable for their diversity. All types of faces and figures are catered to and if a woman is not appropriately gowned this season it is entirely her own fault.

"'Hasn't this chicken rather an odd smell?' said our visitor.
 "'How can you,' I answered. It must be quite fresh-it's Sultan"
 However, when we began to carve the smell grew more and more potent.
 "I had cooked Sultan without taking out his in'ards!
 There was no dinner that day except bread-sauce. beautifully made. we'll cooked vegetables, and pastry like the foam of the sea. I had a wonderful hand for pastry,
 My hour of rising at this pleasant place near Mackery End in Hertford- shire was six. Then I washed the ba- bies. I had a perfect mania for wash ing everything and everybody.

DiStreSSAfterEating
Do You Ever Feel as Though You Had Swallowed a Brick, Instead
 Of a Meal?

That heavy bloated, stuffed-up. lead-lile feeling. which you often eX- perience after eating a meal. is posi- tive proof that something is wrong with your digestive organs. They are becoming weak and Jagged out. There is lack of gastric and other diges- tive juices. The food is no longer properly digested and it forms a heavy load on your stomach, so that nearly every meal causes you misery and dis tress.
 If you are in this condition, it means that you have dyspepsia in some form and may have had it for some time, though you didn't realize it.
 Now is the time to check it, for if you don't it will surely develop into worse forms of dyspepsia and other stomach troubles, which may have se- rious results.
 But that is not all. The stomach is the hub of the body and an injury to it is an injury to all. A weak stom- ach causes the whole body to suffer. The action of the heart, liver and kid neys becomes sluggish. The brain be- comes inactive. The nerves become unstrung. The blood loses it's vitality.
 The only safe, sure, scientific meth cd of restoring your stomach to its healthy, normal state, is to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which will act as a substitute in digesting your food. thus giving your stomach much needed rest.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have stood the tests for years. Thousands have used them and been cured. Phy- sicians all over the United States rec ommend them. They are not se- cret remedy. They contain fruit and vegetable essences, pure concentrated tincture of hydrastis. golden seal, lac tosc. and pure aseptic pepsin. These combined ingredients will digest the coarsest kind of food and do the work just as well as any good, strong healthy stomach will.
 Don't take our word for it. Ask your physician, your druggist or any of your friends, who may have used Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. But you don't even have to take their word for it. Find out for yourself. Send for a free sample package and try them That's the surest way to learn the truth. Then. if you are satisfied, you can go to your nearest druggist and get fifty cent box. All druggists sell them.
