FIFTEEN YEARS OF KEEN SUFFERING
Rheumatism Developed Burning, Painful Sores on Legs-Tortured Day and Night-Tried All Kinds of Remedies to No AvaiI-Wi6e Had Debility and Pains in Back,
BOTH USED CUTICURA
 AND ARE WELL AGAIN

"My husband had been a great suf- fercr with rheumatism for nearly fifteen years. At first it was in his bones, but after Q while it was in the flesh and finally running sores broke out on his legs, from below the knees Co the ankles. There arc no words to tell all the dis comfort and great suffering he had to endure night and day. He used every kind of remedy and three physicians treated him, one after the other, with out any good results whatever. So one day l happened to read about Cuticura Remedies. l asked him u he would not try them, No said he,
 it's no use, I've spent enough money now. The next day l ordered fivc dollars worth of Cuticura Soap, Cuti- cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, He began to use them without conii- dence but after three weeks all the sores werc dried up. The burning fire stopped. and the pains became bearable. After threC months he was cutie well. Two years later the pains and sores came back after he had been working hard and had taken cold. But as soon as he used CutiCura again It cured him. Two years ago l used Cuticura Pills for general debility. They did me great deal of good and made me well. Three months since l had pains in my back and Cuticura took them away, too. can prove this testl- monial at any time. Mrs. V. V. Albert, Upper Frcnchville, Me-, July q, l9O7."

A Problem In Numbers.

No one is known to have succeeded in finding two integral numbers such that the sum of their cubes would pro duce the cube or whole number The cubes of the first ten numbers give the following series: 1-S-27-G4-125.2lG-343. 5l2-720l .OOO This series may be pro- longed indefinitely. The problem would then be to find two members of the series such that their sum is just equal to another member. Adding l25 and 2lG. we get &Il. which Is certainly pretty close to 3f3. Again, adding PIG and 5l2. we obtain T2S which Is with in a single unit of 720, another member of the series. Another example of be- ing very close, but not exact Is that 72O plus 1000 gives 1.729, which Is but a single unit more than l,72S, the cube of l2. It will thus be seen that the first twelve cuhcs yield two cases where the approximation Is but a unit out of the way AS the possible cubes are Infinite In number, 1t may seem worth while Co prosecute the search Scientific American.

rrnnn.d hv lts Portrait.

If an old English writer be true In bis observations. the pheasant must be very simple bird. for he declares that It puts its head In the ground and thinks that all Its body is then hidden, The same author says that It was also captured by another curious plan. A picture Of the Eird was painted on cloth and then placed In a spot where It was sure of being seen. By and by silly pheasant coming along catches sight of the portrait and goes up to have a close view Of the new uelghbor, While engaged in inspecting the can. vas the fowler draws near from behind and throws his net over the unwary art student.

MEPHISTO'S RING.
A Jewel That Bears a Deadly RoPutS-
 tion In Spain.

A Jewel That Bears Q Deadly Reputa-
 tion In Spain.
 It seems strange to read in these days of a ring which is believed to have an evil influence over its owner and which is known as "Mephisto's ring"
 Yet such a ring exists and until re- cent years was In possession of the Spanish royal family The ring is set with a very large emerald, in the cen ter of which Is inserted a ruby.
 It Is first heard of in the sixteenth century. since when the kings who owned 1t have suffered disasters unlim- fled. while the whole country has grad, ually sunk from its former eminent po- sltlon
 When the late HispNno-AmerIcan war broke out the ring was presented to church. The sacred building short fy after was destroyed by fire,
 The next resting place of the ring was a museum. which was twice struck by lightning while holding the III omened jewel.
 The fatal rIng has now, 1t is said, been packed m a strong box and se' curely buried. It remains to be seen whether this will finally put an end to It's mystic" power. - Pearsons Weekly.

BrookS-Farnham.

At the residence Of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Z. Farnham, in
Lowell, on Thursday, Oct Is, there was
a pretty wedding, when their daughter,
Miss Althea E., was married to Mr..
William C.. Brooks of South Paris. A
number of relatives and friends were
present.
The house was beautifully decorated
with autumn leaves, ground pine and
green boughs, and the bridal party stood
under an arch of the same for the cere-
mOny.
The bride was attired in princess
gown of embroidered India null, with
veil, and carried bouquet of white car
nations and maidenhair fern. She was
given away by her mother, in the un-
avoidable absence of her father. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. j. w.
Card. Miss Marion Volk was maid OF
honor and Carl Farnham, the brides
brother, was best man.
Following the ceremony wedding
breakfast was served in the dining room
and the bridal couple took sudden de
parture in an automobile for trip of a
week or two, after which they will re-
side at South Paris.

A fatal shooting, as yet unexplained,
occurred last Wednesday, the 14th, In
Lincoln Plantation, short distance
above Wilson's Mills on the Msgalloway
River, in the northern part of Oxford
County. The dead body of Herbert w
Cummings of Bethel was found, with
two bullet holes In 1t.
Cummings and his brother Frank, and
man named Boobier, OF Bethel, were
on a hunting trip. They had put up
their horse at the house Of William q.
Hart, and occupied camp not far from
there. Wednesday morning they had
started out, Herbert Cummings going in
one direction and the other two men in
another. When Frank Cummings and
Boobier returned to the camp at night
they found there Peter Littlehale, who
reported finding the dead body Of Her:
bert Cummings lying in logging road
about mile and half from Hart's.
There were two bullet holes in Cum
mings' body, in such position as to in
dicate that he turned somewhat after re-
ceiving the first shot before the second
one struck him. Cummings rifle con.
tanned an unexploded shell, showing
that neither of the bullets could possibly
have come from his own rifle. 1t is con-
iectured that he was shot by some hunt
or by mistake for deer.
The remains were brought to Bethel
the next day, County Attorney Barnes
having been consulted by telephone, and
his consent obtained. An inquest was
held at Bethel that night, by Coroner II.
A. Packard, and verdict was returned
that the deceased came to his death from
shots fred by some person or persons
unknown to the jurors.
Herbert W. Cummings lived on farm
in the south part of the town Of Bethel,
on the direct road from Locke's Mills to
Bethel village. he was a son of Wood
bury Cummings, now of South Paris,
was 45 years Of age, and leaves widow
and one child, daughter IL years of
