From information secured at the Of

Friday it was learned that the snow
storm which visited Maine Thursday
did d vast amount of good in the lum-
Der regions in the northern part Of the
State and also over i'm the eastern
part. About a foot of snow fell in the.
region around the West branch of tn.

head region. as we'll as over in HaE-
cock and Washington counties, and
numbering operations are now BOOM
ing all along the line in consequence of
the storm. Up around MooSchcad and
The West branch there was previous to
the last storm snow enough 10 get

Hancock and Washington counties
there was hardly any snow at all and
everything was at standstill But
the outlook now is very much i'm
proved. for with the snow which is
n,w on the ground and the promise OF
more. it is thought that business can
now be carried on until the logs are
al cut. So far as the work of driving
is concerned that time Is yet quite a
distance in the future and it is toe
early to form an estimate, but the op-
orators are not worrying i great deal
on that score.

what you may expect it to do for you. Hence this
letter from Mrs. Temple Clark of Timberville, Miss.

OPTIMISTIC TONE
IN IRON MARKET

Cleveland, November 25-The Iron
Trade Review tomorrow will say:
The very active buying of pig iron which
characterized the first three weeks of
November is not being maintained. Many
buyers are covered for their require
ments through the first quarter and some
through the first half of next year, but
sales are still being made in fair volume
prices are firm and an optimistic feeling
prevails. Tariff agitation is already dis
turbng factor in the trade. The heaviest
buying of pig iron during the past week
was of basic, including 10000 tons in
the Pittsburg district, 1900 tons at St.
Louis, 6O,090 at Philadelphia and sew
eral thousand tons at Chicago. Furnaces
in nearly all sections are in a rather
strong position. New capacity is being
blown in.
Reports of sales Of structural material
for the year. compared with the same
period in 1907, show the rather surprising
fact that the sales for this year are
heavier by about 100000 tons than for last
year. There is less cutting of prices on
plates and sheets.
Railroads are expected to come into
the market for about 100000 tons of rails

BONI CASTELLANE
SUES FOR CHILDREN

Paris, November 25-The suit of Count
Boni de Castellane against his former
wife, who was formerly Miss Anna Gould
of New York, and who is now the wife
of Prince Helie De Sagan, for the Gus
tody of his three children, was opened
here today. The court room was jammed
to the doors.
Count De Castellane occupied a prom
inent place in the room. This Is the first
time the French newspapers, which are
forbidden to publish divorce proceedings
in court have had an opportunity to
ventilate this scandal and they were rep
resented in force by reporters and art
lists M. Bonnet. representing the count,
was the first to be heard He presented
the general grounds upon which clients
stated that the three children be confined
to the care of their grandmother, the
counts mother, and that the Princess De
Sagan be compelled to contribute $50, 900
annually to their support; namely that
the atmosphere of the Sagan household
was unfit for the children. This allega-
ton was in three parts:
l. The alleged scandalous conduct of
Prince De Sagan In the past
@ That he had not reformed since his
marriage NJ. Bonnet said he was pre-
pared to show that the prince had seen
two of his former mistresses since the
date of his marriage.
g. That the conduct of the princess be-
fore her marriage to De Sasan had been
improper.
Proceeding NJ. Bonnet developed this
theme. keeping constantly to the fore the
claim that the count was only seeking the
welfare of his children.
To prove the princess had contemplated
seeking a separation from her present
husband NJ Bonnet recounted certain al
legged consultations had on November 8
by the Prince and Princess De Sagan
and the counts lawyer. He said the
pri1cess on this occasion admitted the
difficulty of having the children live UNI
der the same roof with the prince and
proposed to turn two of them over to
the count and keep the third herself. The
prince at this consultation complained
that if there was a separation his cred
itors would descend upon him and seize
his effects.
Several days later, however, the princess
publicly denied that separation was con-
templated and this ended hope of a
compromise.

In his experience, he has heard and read of
many cases of female weakness which have been re-
lleYed or cured by Cardu. So. when you ask his
opinion, he will not offer a prescription, but will
probably say: TAKE CaydM" And you will do well
