IT K LESS TIME TO
"COOk WITH GAS"

Cooking is done much more quickly
with gas than with wood or coal. This
is not a boast of ours, it is a fact, and
here is the reason:
"The heat of the gas range is concen-
trated at the burner-that means at
the dish or oven to be heated-and prac-
tically none is wasted. In other words
the heat from the burning gas is trans
ferred directly from the gas flame into
the food to be cooked and all of it's n
ergy is spent in cooking.
with the big old-fashioned cook
stove, however, a big fire is built in the
fire-box, which must necessarily radiate
its heat in every direction, out into the
room as we'll as into the oven OR food,
and several times as much escapes I'M
used as is utilized in the cooking, This
heat can't be concentrated or controlled

Church Deduction in Thorndike.

The beautiful little church at Thorn
dixie village will be dedicated Thursday,
December 31st, the service to begin at
o'clock p. m. The dedicatory sermon
will be by Rev. David Beach of Bangor.
There will also be services Thursday and
Friday evenings, with able and interest
ing speakers present. In the early
stages of the building of this church,
A. w. Ward conceived the idea that win
dows might be furnished by the descen-
dants of some of the old families of the
place and by his unceasing efforts, and
the help of the Master, was permitted to
carry his design into execution, as shown
by the ten beautiful memorial windows
which now adorn the church. The double
window in the front was donated by
Charles E. Smith in memory of his wife,
the late Emily w. Smith. The others
were donated by the descendants of the
following named families and are inscrib-
ed as follows: In memory of Bumps
Family, the John Perley Family, the
Samuel N. Tilton Family, the Harmon
Ancestors and of Nathan and Betsey

and Louisa Flint and of A. ]. Hurd,
where they will stand fitting tribute to
the memory of those early settlers who,
by their indominable wills and increasing
labors, hewed their homes from the for
est and reared the families who are now
only too glad to thus show their appre-
citation of their worth, their sterling in
tegrity and their devotion to home.

ISLESBORO is BOOMING.

The town of Islesboro is situated in
Penobscot bay, Waldo county. 1t has
an area of 5000 acres, and, in 1900, a
population of 923. In 1880 the valuation
was S15S, O33 About that time the
beauties and attractions of the island
and surroundings were discovered by
visitors from other States and they com
menced to buy some of the old farms,
remodeling buildings, erecting new and
costly cottages and improving grounds.
AS result, in 1890 the town valuation
had increased to 1886, 721; in 1900 to $780,
1899; and in 1907 it was 1872, $50, an in
crease in II years of S605, 359. Islesboro
is now the wealthiest town in Waldo
county, and all through the coming Of

brought about by the increase in the
town resources are plainly visible; good
roads, High school with three teach
ers for sc pupils, common schools main
tanned for 30 weeks of each year, school
teachers receiving the highest pay of
any in the county and $1.05 per week
more than the average wages paid to
female teachers in the State, liberal ex-
penditures for school superintendent, a
free public library and a low tax rate, it
being but $1300 on each 1000 of valua-

THE DEAD OF THE YEAR.

Death has thinned the ranks of distin-
guished men and women to an unusual
extent in the year now near its close. In
most of the countries of the world it has
invaded high places, and our own occu-
pies a conspicuous place among them in
this respect. Among those whose names
were associated with the politics and d.
plomacy of the United States have been
ex-President Cleveland, Senators Proctor
of Vermont, Allison Of Iowa, Whyte of
Maryland and Carmack of Tennessee. In
this general classification may be includ-
ed Governor Sparks of Nevada and ex-
Governors Miller of North Dakota, Muir
ply of Arizona and Budd of California.
The Navy has suffered to the extent of
twelve rear admirals, and the Army to a
less degree.
The mortality in the Church or among
the leaders of various denominations has
been great. 1t has taken four bishops of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, includ-
ing Bishops Potter and Satterlee; four
Roman Catholic bishops, and Rev. Nor
gan Dix and Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall,
who, though wearing lower titles, were
hardly of less distinction. Education has
lost DR.. Daniel Colt Gilman, ex-President
Henry Hopkins and number of we'll
known professors, perhaps foremost in
prominence being Charles Eliot Norton.
Journalism has not been exempt. 1t
counts among its losses Charles Emory
Smith, Murat Halstead, Crosby S. Moves,
William L. Alden and Samuel E. Moffett.
Literature contributes conspicuous NOR

A wider review takes in not a few
world figures. The deaths near together
of the emperor Of China and the dowager
empress are of recent occurrence, and the
tragic taking off of King Carlos of Por-
tugal and the crown prince cannot have
passed from the public memory, though
it may be forgotten that six princes, four
dukes, including those of Devonshire and
Harcourt, the earls of Derby and of
Rose, the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia
aud the Duchess Elizabeth of Brunswick
have passed on. The youngest in this
class was Prince Stephen of Montenegro,
five years of age Among the noted
women besides those mentioned have
been Harriet Hosmer, "Ouida" and Mrs.
William Astor.
The roll of the distinguished dead con-
tains nearly three hundred names. Eng
land has lost two of her most honored
statesmen, the Duke of Devonshire and
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman France
mourns Victorien Sardou and Henri Bee
querel, the discoverer of the trays"
bearing his name. Denmark is the poorer
by the death of Holyer BRAKEMAN, the
''Burns of Scandinavia" and Norway
has been bereft of Jonas Lie, poet,
dramatist and novelist All the great
interests of our complex civilization have
suffered by the taking off of conspicuous
representatives. Each country has its
Valhalla, and this has received new
and distinguished tenantry. Yet the
world moves on as though nothing had
happened, and this is the fortunate law
