Dear Mr., Editor

There is a movement on foot
in West End to have a half Holiday every
Thursday. A list was sent around last week
asking all business places to close-some
agreed and some did not-and like
oil things without Governmental support
it must fall to the ground-even if all
business places agree to close. This sub
ject comes up every now and then, without
any good results--C Can you, not Mr.. Editor,
do something to bring an entire Holiday of
the Sunday instead 2 l think that would
be far more preferable than half of any
day. Gould not the Revd. Gentlemen of
the Island meet and agree TO take the mat
or up2 Hereby making it not for West
End alone. rs the present movement, but
for the Island. Do you not think that they
could interview the managers of shops in
the country and get them to agree also
and, after all have agreed, present the agree
ment in the form of a petition to Govern
ment asking to have it Law ? l for one will
never be in favour of a half Holiday for the
tow and not tho country, because it will be
helping the country shops to pull the rope q
little tighter, that they have already around our
necks, which is now taking our breath away
slowly but surely. The shops in the town
are now closed by Law a few times a year,
while the shops in the country are opened,
which is more than enough. l would ia
vour no market of any kind on Sundays, not
even the selling of Fresh meats and Fish
ect-. All of which can be done up to II
o'clock on Saturday night. Your opinion
Mr.. Editor | am sure will be interesting and
much appreciated by all why not let US
have it If in no other way than by an IN
v@itation to the Revd, gentlemen to meet
with you on the subject, at which meeting
YOU could also ask al interested parties.
What do you say2
Youls truly
"VERITAS."

Simultaneous Conversion.


The late Bishop Fowler of the
Methodist Church is credited with the
following yarn" His text was that
sincere creeds. no matter how diverse,
should bind Christians together. The
Washington Star quotes him as fol.
lows:
John Smith was a Presbyterian.
Hannah Jones was a Baptist. They
hesitated about marrying because they
feared that in later life. when the lit-
tie ones came. religious disputes might
arise. Thus the years passed.
Neither would Ienounce their church
John Jmith grew bald and Hannah
Jones developed lines about her eyes
and mouth. 1t was complete dead
lock, the world said.
Then John was sent abroad for a
year by his firm to buy fancy goods.
de and Hannah corresponded regu
larly. Toward the years end, by
remarkable coincidence. each receiv-
ed from the other a letter. the two
letters crossing iu the mails.
They said:
Friend John. The obstacles that
stood in the way of our marriage have
at last been removed. This day l
was received in full membership in
the Presbyterian Church. Hannah. :"
dearest Hannah. We have no
longer any ground for delaying our
union further. l united myself this
day with the Baptist Church. John.

Expecting visit from the superin-
tendent of an adjacent Sunday school
one Sunday afternoon, one enterprls-
ed teacher, anticipating the line OF
aueetions which would be asked OF
the scholars, selected a boy from her
class to answer each question, says
Judge. AS she had figured it out the
visitor would first ask the pupils the
question, "Who made your and the
grst pupil was, of course, to answer
God" The next question was to be
"Of what?" to which the answer was
to be, "Of the dust of the EARTH" Un-
fortunately between the time Sunday
School was called to order and the
visiting superintendent had taken the
floor, the first pupil was taken sick
and obliged to go home. The teach
er did not have the opportunity to
readiust her forces and when the first
question was asked, the second boy
thought it good opportunity for him
to get in his answer and get it off his
mind so to the question, "Who made
you2" he answered, "Of the dust OF
the EARTH
"Oh, no. said the visitor. "God
made you"
mo, sir, he did not, said the
youngster. 1.-THE little boy that God
made has gone home sick, and l am
the dust of the earth.

Eat all the good food you like. Quit
dieting. You don't have TO diet to cure
dyspepsia. In fact you can not cure
dyspepsia or indigestion that way, but
rather YOU must add strength TO the
weak stomach by taking something that
will digest the food which the stomach
can not digest. Kodol is the only thing
known today that will do this. for K'dol
is made of natural digestive juices found
IN healthy stomach, and IL digesls al
food completely. Kodol is pleasant to
take, and is guaranteed TO give relief IN
any case of stomach trouble. Sold by

The Bad Boy Peck.

ExGov. Peck in his TRADE against
Maine in the interest of the liquor
trades makes a cheap attack on the
manner of living of our citizens which
stamps him as king among liars. We
would ask him, if in his opinion this
kind of living was what caused Maine
to produce during the past fifty years
Americas greatest statesmen and the
sons who have gone into his State and
every other State in the Union to occu-
ply commanding positions in their bust
ness and political life? And we would
remind him that she never produced an
ex-governor who so disgraced himself
and his native State.-Portland Tran

BYRON BOYD.

The reason why the Democratic news
papers of Maine are nagging and Wilt
flying Byron Boyd is because they know
very we'll that he will conduct the i'm
pending campaign vigorously, and will
make a'stern and honest fight to secure
double the majority for Bert M. Fer
maid than that given to Governor Cobb
two years ago. Maine Republicans
could not have made more wise choice
in selecting the chairman of the COM
mittee than they did in picking out Mr..
Boyd. With an important Presiden-
tial election pending, it is needful that
the Maine Republicans shall give a
decided majority to Bert M. Fernald
next September. Maine Democrats
are pumping dirty water over Byron
Boyd because they are afraid of him
and know his exceptional ability.-Ban-
