The Rev. E. p. Lee Resigns.

The Rev. f. p. Lee, Rector of Christ
Church the past ten years, has rendered
his resignation, to take effect as soon as
a successor can be appointed, or not later
than the first Sunday in advent, Novem-
Der 30. In his letter to the wardens and
vestrymen Mr.. Lee says;
CATER many months of anxiety |
find it necessary for private and family
reasons to resign the rectorship OF our
dear parish. | am sure that you, as we'll
as all our beloved people, will under
stand the deep sorrow with which | am
Obliged to sever the affectionate relations
of pastor and people which have existed
between us for the past ten years.
Mr.. Lee and family will leave Island
Pond and take up their residence on the
home farm at Waterford, and if his sue
cessor is not appointed when his resigna-
ton goes into effect he will come once
or twice a mouth to conduct the serv-
ices. Mr.. Lee has not fully recovered
from his long illness last spring, nor from
the operation he underwent, and he is
bv no means we'll man. At his ad-
vaneed years more rest is absolutely
necessary. His departure will be very
much regretted, not only by the parish
which he has so faithfully served all
these years, but by the community gen
orally for he has been deeply interested
in the prosperity of the town, and taken
an active part in many things for its i'm
provement and benefit. May the rest he
so much needs be his to enjoy in his
declining years. The vestry have not
yet acted upon the resignation.
MIR. Lee received the rite of confrma-
! tiou here at the hands of the late Bishop
Bissell, and later commenced to study
for the ministry at Christ Church under
the guidance of the Rev. Louis A. Arthur,
then its rector; consequently the church
is very dear to him.

An Excitine Time.

Several days ago an employe on Dr.
Flies farm set fire to some grass, which
has since been running and Wondering
on his land. Sunday no one looked after
the fire, aud the wind changed blowing
it towards the Fitzgerald Land & Lumber
Co.'s lands. When DR.. Ellie and his men
arrived on the scene the fire was beyond
their control, and soon was burning on
the company's second growth land Late
Sunday afternoon f. j. Parsons, the
|companys manager, was notified OF the
condition of affairs, and he procured a
force of men aud at once went to work
TO check it, but only partially succeeded
Seeing that more vigorous steps were
necessary, on Sunday he shut down the
mill and took the whole force out there
by day light, and after almost super
human labors, digging an immense
trench from one to four feet wide and
beating down the fire had the satisfac-
ton at noon of seeing it practically
under control. At night it was believed
there was no further danger of it spread
ing although careful watching is still
necessary. The damage to the company s
second growth timber is quite large
Why is it that men having set fire to
clean no land will not watch it, especial
" at such time of drouth as we are
experiencing now, when so much has
been said on the subject and when forest
fires are raging throughout the country

Making Good.

There Is no. way OF making lasting
friends like making Good" and Doctor
Pierce's medicines well exemplify this,
and their friends, after more than two
aSeades aSS Of popularity are numbered by
'made good" and they have not made
drunkards.
A good, honest square deal medicine OF
known composition Is DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
mense sale, while most OF the prepara-
tlons that have come into prominence in
the earlier period Of its popularity have
gone by the board " and are never more
heard of. There must be some reason for
this long time popularity and that Is to
be found in its superior merits. When
once given u fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, It's supe-
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence II has survived and grown I'm pop
ular favor, while scores Of less mertorious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For torpid liver with its attendant
Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste. loss of appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility. nothing Is so good as DR..

Don't buy DR.. pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion expecting II TO prove "cure-all." 1t
Is only advised for woman'S Spccidl all

When Robert Latham Owen, Sena-

entered the Senate Chamber, he was
regarded as merely an interesting
addition to the greatest deliberative
body In the world. He is Chero-
kee Indian, or, rather, the blood Of
Cherokee ancestors courses In his
veins.
Although an Oklahoman by adop-
ton. Senator owen is a Virginian by
birth. He was born in Lynchburg,
Feb 2, 1856. His father was Rob-
ert l.. owen, formerly President Of
the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad,
while his mother was Narcissa CHS
holm owen, of the Cherokee Nation.
Owen. Sr.. saw to It that his son
went out into the world equipped
with both good health and the best
OF education. He seems to have

ne was a hero to his two boys. He
rplei them with rod of iron. and
while he welded complete authority
over their affairs. they made him
their hero.
Young owen was taught the rudi-
ments In private schools In Lynch
burg. Later he was sent to a pre-
Laratory school In Baltimore. an
event that marked the first separa-
ton between mother and son. Leav-
ing there he entered Washington
and Lee University at Lexington.
Va. from which institute he was
graduated in 1887 with the degree
OF Master of Arts.

his reputation as banker Of fore

Owen found time to enter politics.
He plunged into public affairs with
the energy that characterized his pri-
Nate undertakings. AS result, he
was membe, of the Democratic
li''onal Committee from 1892 to
1886 He was member OF the SUBJ
cor mittee that dew the party plat
fern in 1896. and ten year" |: ter was
Vic" Chairman of the Democratic
Campaign Committee In Oklahoma.
Oven was nominated June 8, 1907,
Tor the United States Senate by a
State primary that gave him the
largest vote of any candidate by
atout 10000. The remarkable vote
cast for him over the otLe. candi-
dates is an indication of the popular
ity he enjoys in his home State.
When Owen was sworn II as a
United States Senator he was accom-
panied by his blind colleague, Thom-
ns p. Gore. 1t was necessary that
the two men settle which should be
seated for the short term anG which
for the long. 1t was decided to
leave the matter to chance. Two
pieces Of paper were prepared, one
shorter than the other. The Sena-
tor who drew the longer of the two
was to have the long term.
A blindfolded page was called and
the slips given hir Because Of his
colleagues affiiction, owen insisted
upon him drawing first. Gore did.
II was discovered he had drawn the
short slip. AS result Cores term

STRANGE ERRORS OF TYPE.
Curious Mistakes Spring Up With
Surprising Frequency.

Surprising Frequency.
Somewhere in the United States
there is said to be newspaper cors'
positor who Is one hundred and five
years of age. He made so many
typographical errors during his life
that he Is afraid to die. The
Jest may be admitted, but the ma
jority of typographical mistakes Of
ten have results which are far re-
moved from the field of humor.
Compositors and proof-readers fire.

In contemporary times, with the

and the corps OF careful editors.
compositors. proof and copy-read-
ers; men who have been thoroughly
and completely trained in their
part OF their business not to make
mistakes. Though great precaution
Is taken to prevent errors OF type
and grammar. curious mistakes
spring up with surprising frequen-
cy. especially in the editions OF small
country weeklies where the copy Ia
penned and set by hand.
The typographical error is far
more numerous in contemporary
publications than grammatical mis-
takes. Type is at best a slippery ar.
ticle, even on the linotype machine
with its perfect keyboard. The
operator as the one-time type-settei
is now called. finds 1t an exceeding
ly easy matter to transpose letter
now and then, an incident which
often changes the meaning OF the
sentence.
A dramatic writer once noted In
his review OF play that "others In
the cast were, etc." The compost.
tor while setting up the sentence
merely touched the 't'' before the
"s'' on the keyboard and the as
tonishing result was; "others Of the
cats were, etc." Seekers after Of
