Excessive Drinking

Cure Effected or Money Returned.

Excessive or continued use OF alco-
holic beverages always results in
diseased condition of the nervous
system.
The drinking man is often heard to
say, 81 can stop of my own free will
and when I WISH but the poor fellow
is now devoid of the power to act at
the proper time and in the right way,
it's too late, the craving has secured a
firm hold and because of the diseased
nervous system he has not the ability
for sustained effort. The result we all
know.
Drunkenness is no longer consider

THE WlTCH'S- CURSE.
A eucksport Legend Of Colonial Days
In Maine,

A eucksport Legend Of Colonial Days
In Maine.
Close by the road on the outskirts OF
the old seaport town of Bucksport, on
the Penobscot river, is a small family
cemetery. Within its inclosure sleep
the Bucks, the blue blooded folk who
first settled the town and bequeathed
1t their name and a legend.
The largest and most conspicuous
monument in the cemetery is tail
granite shaft, which is in plain sight OF
the highway On one side is the in
scription: "Col. John Buck, the Founder
of Bucksport, A. D. 1762. Born In
Haverhill, Mass, 171s. Died March Is,
1895"
On the other side is the single word
Buck" and also something not
wrought by the marble worker. On
the smooth surface Of the pedestal is
a curious outline, which can be easily
imagined to be a foot Of normal size.
The people who say that it is foot
believe in the legend which has oft
been told in Bucksport
The story is that Colonel Jonathan
Buck was a very harsh man and the
leading spirit in his day and genera
ton. He was the highest in civil au-
! thority, and his word was law in the
community in which he resided. He
was an out and out Puritan, and to
him witchcraft was the incarnation of
blasphemy. Thus, SO the story goes,
when a certain woman was accused OF
| witchcraft, at the first clamorings of
the populace Colonel Buck ordered that
she be imprisoned, and later she was
| sentenced to be executed as witch.
The execution day came, and the
woman went to the gallows, cursing
her Judge with such terrible words
| that the people shuddered, but the
magistrate stood unmoved. All was
ready, and the hangman was about tt
perform his duty, when the woman
turned to Colonel Buck, and, raising
one hand toward heaven. she said:
| Jonathan Buck, listen to these
words, the last my tongue shall utter
It is the spirit of the only living Coo
which bids me speak to you. You vii
soon die, and over your grave they viii
erect a stone. that all may know the
spot where your bones lie and crumbl,
| to dust
Upon that stone the imprint of my
foot shall appear, and for all time, aft
er your accused race has vanished
from the face Of the earth, will tn,
/ people from far and near know tina
you murdered q woman"
She then turned to her executioners
and another act transpired to make
part Of American colonial history. TIL

He was one of the best known lawyers of the territory a quarter of a century ago and was leading figure in democratic politics, in this county. In 1884 he built what has since been known most of the time as the Lemon hotel, which was bought year or so ago by Anton Gold, and is now known as the Gold hotel. When it was first con- it was the most up to date and palatial hotel in the territory. Judge Lemon and family moved from here to San Francisco or Oakland quite a number of years ago.

LEFT ON HER DOORSTEP
 FOR THIS MOTHER

Mrs. A. G. Tuson, of Livermore, Cal, writes: q picked up from my door step one day little book in which soon became very much interested. My little girl of five years of age had been troubled for a long time with loss of appetite, extreme nervousness and undue fatigue. She was all run down and in very delicate condition.
 This little book was very compre- hensively written, and told of the new method of extracting the medicinal ele- ments of the cod's liver from the oil. eliminating the obnoxious oil which is so hard for children to take.
 Just the thing said I, for my little daughter and I immediately went for & bottle of Vinol. It helped her won derfully. She has gained rapidly in flesh and strength, and she does not take cold half so easily.
 'T am extremely grateful for the good it has done her, and hope other mothers who have weak, delicate or ailing children will be benefited by my experience and just give Vinol trial"

ND TRACK TEAM FOR
 FIRE DEPARTMENT
Phoenix Firemen Will Not Enter the
 Tournament Contests Fair Week.

The Phoenix fire department will not enter the contests during the tour nament of firemen to be held during fair week, but will stand by in hos pitable way and act as host for the visiting firemen, encouraging them all to spit on their hands and do their best. and may the best bunch win. This decision was arrived at last night after a week of conference and dis cussion, and without prejudice. The committee concluded that the time is too short to put a team in good condi- tiOn. even if the necessary funds were forthcoming at once and the raising of the money has been so long delayed it did not care to undertake the work. The Phoenix department cannot afford to enter unless it can make a credita- ble showing so it decided to stay out and give all the glory to the visitors.
 The question of funds or lack of them has heretofore been given due publicity and the situation yesterday morning was that all expenses over and above $500 offered by the council would have to be raised by popular subscription. Marshal Moore was des- ignated to appoint FOther committee men to help him and sound the liber- ality of the citizens yesterday. It was late when he got his committee or ganized and he called on a few of the banks and business houses, all that he could see before closing. He says the was liberal and about $100 was pledged.
 However at the evening session of the committee after all was given con- sideration it was decided to drop the project. There was lack of volun- teers for soliciting. It was feared that it might take several days more before

Vibration on Steamships.

Some surprise and disappointment
have been expressed by passengers on
turbine propelled ships that vibration.
although 1t has been greatly reduced,
has not been entirely eliminated from
these vessels. In considering this sub
ject 1t may be as well to state at once
that no matter what kind Of engine be
used vibration never will be elimlnat-
ed from steamships driven by screw
propellers. The hull Of steamship Is
highly elastic structure and there
fore peculiarly sensitive to any forces
tending to set up vibration. These
forces may be broadly divided into
three kinds-the impact Of the waves.

engines and certain inequalities In the

What Cavstle Critic Of Our Navy
Has 70 Say About II.
The most important protection Of a
battleship, outside of the hull itself, II
that given to its magazines. Never
since the use Of powder upon fighting
ships has there been such danger to
the magazines AZ exists in every bat
tleship and armored cruiser In the
American feet II is3a FIRST principles
recognized even in the days of wooden
lfrisntes, that powder must not be
passed directly up to the gun deck
lthroughla vertical shaft. The open
,turret OF the United States battleship
iis the only violation of this principle In
the practice of the world.
The open turret is conical shaft
leading straight down into the hull Of
the ship. At the top of this shaft the
powder Is loaded into the heavy gun.
At its bottom Is the handling room,
where the powder Is delivered from
the magazine. Around this handling
room and opening directly into 1t arc
the magazines.
The guns in the turret are fred with
charges Of smokeless powder. This
powder is a hard, round substance, OF
composition which looks not unlike
celluloid. Its grains-in the charges
for the heaviest gun-are cylinders
about the size of a spool Of thread
These grains of powder when uncon
fined do not explode il they are set Oh
fire, but are consumed like fizzing fire
crackers. Now, under present condi
tions at least, certain number Of &C
cidents in loading and firing guns cai
be counted on. When these occur tn,
burning powder grains will fall straight
down into the handling room. The
charges in the handling room will bt
