A Templar Tactics and Manual written
Bangor for the use of the Knights Templar
communicates in this State has just been
issued, and is attracting much attention
among the members of the order.
Claremont Commandery, Knights Tem-
plar, has appointed committee, consisting
of the first three officers, to make arrange
ments for the observance of st. Johns Day
next June. The program, as at present in
contemplation, includes pilgrimage to Bel
,st, in company with De Valois Command
cry of Camden. Claremont is the parent
commandery of De Valos and Camden, and
also of Palestine of Belfast, SO that what is
planned will be practcally.a reunion of the
original Claremont COmmandery. 1t will OF
course be necessary to secure the acquies-
cence and cooperation of all these other
organizations before anything can be def
nitely decided upon. and what their plans
may be has not yet been learned. 1t is, how.
ever, believed that the plan will begenerally
approved OF, and eventually carried out
Rockland Opinion.

DANGER OF CATAnRH,
Unless Properly Treated With Hyomei,
Becomes Serious.

Catarrhal troubles are far more danger
Gus than they seem at first thought.
If you have catarrh, there is an irritated
state of the mucous membrane and weaken
ed tissues which aft 'rd an ideal lodgment
and culture medium for disease germs,
especially those of consumption.
You should get cured as quickly as pOssi-
BILE before any dangerous germs that you
may breathe lodge on the diseased tissue
and work destruction in the throat and
lungs.
The easiest, simplest, quickest. surest
and cheapest way to cure catarrh is by the
direct method, breathing Hyomei. This
wonderful medicated air treatment does not
drug and derange the stomach, but is
breathed in, directly following and destroy
ing all disease germs that may have been in
hailed.
The unusual way in which Hyomei is sold
by A. A. HOwes & GO. is the best evidence of
their confidence in the treatment and should
dispel all doubt as to its curative properties.
They agree tO.refund the purchase price to
anyone whom Hyomei fails to benefit, and
you do not risk cent in testing its healing
virtues. A complete outfit costs but $1.00
if it helps you, not a cent if it does not do
all that is claimed for it. 2w4

Outlook in the Shoe Trade.

A thorough investigation of the prospects
of the shoe business, covering practically
all the significant territory, which has re-
Gently been made, yields much valuable in
foI Imation. AS regards the situation in
New England, local manufacturers agree
that, while there may be no rush demand at
present, the outlook for the immediate
future is more than hopeful. From various
quarters reports agree that the slack de-
mand affects the lower grade of goods alone.
Br"ckton. as producing type of high
grade shoes, feels this distinction least
Ly MI, producing in general a medium grade
of shoes, feels it only slightly. OF ninety
manufacturers consulted, representing not
only Lynn, but Salem, Danvers, Chelsea,
Everett and Beverly, the report is, on the
whole, of favorable conditions for the pres
ent, and excellent prospects. 1t is from
Worcester that the reply is least hopeful,
and even there the factories will run to full
capacity as soon as the spring trade opens.
Elsewhere, with minor qualifications, the
market has quckened.-The Boston Tran

Hampton lariated his tired horses
behind the bluff and returned to the
summit, lying fiat upon the ground,
with the field-glass at his eyes The
distant figures passed slowly forward
into the midst of the willows, and for
half an hour the patient watcher
scanned the surface of the stream be-
yond, but there was no sign of at
tempted passage. The sun sank lower
and finally disappeared behind those
desolate ridges to the westward.
Hampton's knowledge of plainscraft
rendered Murphy's actions sufficiently
clear This was the Fourche; beyond
those waters lay the terrible peril of
Indian raiders. Further advance must
be made by swift, secret night riding,
and never-ceasing vigilance. This was
what Murphy had been saving himself
and his horses for. Beyond conjec-
ture, he was resting now within the
shadows of those willows, studying
the opposite shore and making ready
for the dash northward. Hampton be-
lieved he would linger thus for some
time after dark, to see If Indian fires
would afford any guidance. Confident
of this. he passed back to his horses,
rubbed them down with grass, and
then ate his lonely supper, not ventur-
ing to light a fire, certain that Muir
phys eyes were scanning every inch
of skyline.
Darkness came rapidly, while Hamp-
ton sat planning again the details of
his nights work. Then, with the two
animals trailing cautiously behind, he
felt his slow way on foot down the
steep bluff, into the denser blackness
of the valley.
