WHY INSURANCE COMPANIES DIsCBIM-
MATE AGAINST THE GENTLE SEX.
II one is to believe the medical ex-
aminers the reason a woman pays more
for the privilege Of life insurance Is that
she Is much more commonly victim OF
indigestion and stomach troubles and
the fatal ailments that spring from these
causes.
It Is not the acute attacks OF disease
that influence the insurance examiners
alone, but the constant feelings OF weak
ness, headache, indigestion and stomach
trouble. These things, physicians say,
kill more people than many OF the seri'
GUS diseases.
For curative power In all stomach
troubles nothing else Is as safe yet Of
fective, nothing else can be SO thorough.
ly relied upon to relieve all troubles OF
indigestion, as Mi-o.na. 1t Is unlike any
remedy heretofore known; 1t is not a
mere digestive tablet; it strengthens and
restores TO natural action the stomach
and bowels and makes complete cure
in even the worse form of stomach
troubles.

The burial of Ex-Gov. Perham took
place here Monday at Lakeside ceme-
tery. A service was held at the Univers-
alist church conducted by the Rev. John
Van Schaick, who spoke at some length
of his acquaintance with Gov. Perbam
in his Washington home and delivered a
Just tribute to his life and character.
Members of the Masonic Lodge acted as
bearers and the Knights of Pythias at
tended in body. Sidney Perham was
an houored son of our old town, one in
whom her people all had confidence as
being an honest, conscientious man. He
was man lOO WHO was Always ioydi W
the place of his birth, and ever took a
deep interest in the towns welfare and
progress. In bis speech here at the
teachers reunion Oct. 9, 1890, he said
az never visit this town without having
emotions stirred within me such as are
not moved by visit to any other place.
Here my father and mother, my grand
fathers and grandmothers, and many
other relatives and dear friends lived
and are buried. Here l was born and
lived until was forty years of age. Here
labored, as shall never be able to do
again, with other congenial spirits, the
most of whom have long since gone to
their reward, to promote the financial,
intellectual, moral and religious interests
of the people. And here l formed asso-
Citations and friendships that death only
can sever. Even now, in my dreams,
often visit the old familiar places, meet
the old friends and renew the associa-
Citations of long ago."

1t was with regret that the news was
received of the death of Ex-Governor

honest purpose, the whole-souled man

remained, and always in meeting in
after years those whom he had known
when here they received the warm well
come and handclasp of friendship.

Green wood.

The sap season is now practically end
ed, and while some report it as hardly
up to the average there has been no such
a run here in this small corner since the
spring of 1894. The last week in Feb
ruary of that year was cold and windy
enough to do justice to northern Siberia !;
and why the time is remembered so
distinctly is the fact that our mother-in-
law, the then Mrs. Tabitha Coffin, died
and her remains were conveyed to Mason,
and during the same week DR.. Lapham
died and was buried at Bryant's Pond.
About the first of March it changed to
first class sap weather and so continued
for two or three weeks, and some who
tapped extensively lost hundreds of gal
Ions, expecting no such run and there
fore lacked the facilities for saving it,
and we have heard of some who have
met with similar loss this spring from
the same cause. So much then for the
sap season as it has been here and not
somewhere else.
1t was only day or two before hear
ing of the death of Mr.. Perham that we
were thinking of him, and whether we
should have another privilege of leading
him down the slope to the speakers
stand at the next grove meeting at the
Pond, similar to the two last meetings.
The answer came suddenly and in the
negative. He has passed over to that
better country and requires no more
assistance from earthly friends.
Mrs. Huldah r. Fuller, whose death
was announced in last weeks paper,
was our half niece, being the oldest
daughter of our half sister, Annie Dry
anti Glover, only daughter of our mother
by a former marriage. We never saw
Mr.. Fuller nor any of his family after
leaving Hartford 43 years ago, and had
no idea where they were living if still
alive until informed while in Buckfield
last fall, that they were living not far
from South Paris. Could we have
known of the fact while there, they
would have hsd visitor. That is the
third death that has been added to our
vital record within week or two of
persons formerly known, and it is al
most startling to see how rapidly the
number increases. The intention is to
report the names at the end of the year,
the same as before, the number then
being 20, If our memory is correct.
Norway is to be congratulated on hav-
ing 80 many women in public business.
The Saturday Globe noticed the fact re-

tons will be governed by women, and
then we may expect better governments.
