IN MEMORIAM.

Edward F. Larrabee died at his resi-
dence in Frankfort a little past midnight,
Wednesday September 18th, after an ILL
ness of pneumonia of only four days days.
Mr.. Larrabee had been out of health for
the past 10 years, having had the grip IN
the winter of 1890, and had suffered bad
ly with asthma ever since. His death
came as a sudden shock to the commu-
nitv, as he had been apparently in his
usual health. but took sudden cold Sat
urday afternoon and early Sunday morn
ing was taken with a chill and high fever
and severe pleurisy pains, from which he
constantly sank until his death. Mr..
Larrabee was born December 27, 1S49, in
Searsport and was the ninth child OF Job
and Mary (Trundy) Larrabee and great
grandson to Peter Smith of Knox Plan
tation, who served in the Revolutionary
War. Mr.. Larrabee came to Frankfort
when about 20 years old and learned the
stone cutters trade at Mount Waldo
Granite Works, and was one of the many
apprentices of Albert Thompson, who
died few years ago. He was man OF
refinement, strong character, and un-
swerving principle; a great reader, low
ing especially the history Of our country,
in which he was we'll versed. His one
fondness was the violin and he was never
happier than when playing by himself or
with others. He taught his youngest
daughter to play the violin and during
his sickness, even when suffering his
worst, was anxious for her to play for
him, even naming the selections, and the
music seemed to rest him. He always
had strong desire to make violin,
which he did two winters ago, and It
proved to be an exceptionally pretty
model and a sweet sounding instrument.
Mr.. Larrabee became a member OF Mt:
Desert Lodge, F. and A. NJ, in 1887, and
a member of Granite Grange, North
Searsport in 1894 On October %, 1886,
he married Carrie M. Ham of Frankfort,
who with two daughters, Frances and
Callie, survive him; also two sisters, Mrs.
Emilus Wellman of Belfast, and Mrs.
Emery Benson of Frankfort, and one
brother, of Prospect. The funeral was
held Sunday, September 10th, at 2
clock, from his late residence, conduct
ed by F. w. Haley of Winterport. The
casket was covered with floral tributes,
arranged by loving hands. The services
were by Rev. F. S. Dolliff of Jackson.
The burial was at the Land of Rest ceme-
terry. The bearers were Albert LARA
bee, the only surviving brother, and
Cyrus, Thomas and Fitzroy Ham.

Miss Grace Donworth of Machias is the
author of a book which has recently been
published by the Small & Maynard Pub
fishing Co., Boston, and is destined to be
the humorous hit Of the year. The title
is The Letters Of Jennie Allen to Her
Friend, Miss Musgrove. It is in very
attractive binding and is beautifully illusl
trated by Frederick R. Gruger. 1t is full
of fun life, pathos and wisdom and every
one should read it. Mark Twain, in a
speech before the Associated Press, said
Of one of these letters: "Here is a let
ter written by woman right out of her
heart of hearts. There's no spelling that
can begin with it, on this planet, outside
of the White House." The Boston Even
ing Transcript says: "Jennie Allen is
one of the loveliest, wisest and simplest
characters in literature. In producing
this work the author has wrought a
genuine work of art. The humor, the
philosophy and the variegated spelling
are all true to the character.

Blind Man crlticines IrYinr,s ShyInc

A Blind Man critici1es lrying's ShyIOck.
Here a little and there a lit
little" seems to have been the
plan by which Henry Irving
built up his art and got his mar
vellous effects. In the February
McClure's, Miss Terry writes.
Henry Irving never grew
tired of a part, never ceased to
work at it, just as he never gave
up the fight against his limita-
tons. His diction, as the years
went on, grew far clearer when
he was depicting rage and pas
sion. His dragging leg dragged
no more. To this heroic perse-
verance be added an almost
childlike eagerness in hearing
any suggestion for the improve
ment Of his interpretations
which commended itself to his
imagination and his Judgment.
From a blind man came the
most Illuminating criticism of
his Shylock. The sensitive ear
of the sightless hearer detected
a fault in Henry Irying's method
of delivering the opening line
of his part;
Three thousand ducats-
well!'
I hear no sound Of the
usuer in that, the blind man
said, at the end Of the perfor-
nance. Tt is said with the re-
Elective air of a man to whom
money means very little.
THE Justice of the criticism
appealed strongly to Henry,
He revised his reading not only
of the first line, but of many
other lines in which he saw now
that he had not been enough Of
the money-lender.
In more recent years he

How to Cure
Your Piles

II sufferers from piles and rectal dis
eases would first try a reliable laxative
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin instead
of using external salves and SUPPOSE
tories, or having an operation performed,
they would save themselves a world of
trouble, expense and pain. The reason
is that in nine cases out of ten piles are
the result of habitual constipation, and
when once the constipation is thoroughly
cured the piles disappear.
Piles are to constipation what PIN
Piles are to bad blood, simply an out
ward symptom. And just as face lotions
aren't half as goodfor pimples as a good
blood medicine, so salves and suppositories
aren't half as good for piles as a reliable laxa-
tive like DR.. Caldwelfs ~SyrupPepsin.
A 50 cent or 81 bottle win prove these claims,
and every druggist Is authorized to guarantee
results. Hundreds of people have written US
that DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin Is the best pile
cure they know Of. and II Is surely worth a trial
from you. Not only will Il cure the piles but Il
will permanently correct bowel trouble SO that

President Roosevelt is fond of
preaching, but in this tedious
sermon he combines, to his own
disadvantage and that of the

Northampton minister of the
Eighteenth Century talked after
this fashion when ne pictured

So far as Lafayette county is
concerned the Democrats need
not start out with a search light
to find available material to fill
the position within their gift.
On account of the trihing salary
attached to the Office of legisla-
tor, and the slip-shod manner
of past legislative proceedings,
it is a very difficult matter to
secure the services of able and
trustworthy men for such pos
itions. You may talk about men
willing to sacrifice their personal
ease and let their business go to
ruin in order to immediate them
selves upon the altar of public
duty (9. But that is cheap
balderdash and deceives no one.
Second term endorsements as
well as rotation in office as a rule,
is another humbug that ought to
be cast into oblivion with a lot
more political rubbish that is ad.
Eocated today and ignored tomor-
row. If an official shows his in
competency during a first term,
it is bad politics and worse bust
ness to tickle his vanity and feed
his inordinate appetite for Office
by retaining him for further ex,
pertinent. The Democrats of
Lafayette county and Missouri
have an abundance Of most ex-
cellent material; and it behooves
them now more than ever to call
it into active service; and don't
hesitate to select honest, poor
men for fear that they may rob
you.-Higginsville Jeffersonian.

any other year in its history.
The enormous amount of 39,650,
1876 board feet was produced,
and the mill value of this was
1921, 151,588. In addition, there
were produced 1855, 26O, 900
shingles, valued at $24, 1855, 555,
and 3,812,S07, 900 lath, valued at
S11,490,570 On the whole, it is
safe to say that the present an
nual lumber cut of the United
States approximates 40 billion
feet, and that the total mill value
of the lumber, lath and shingles
each year produced is not less
than 100000, 900. These fig
ures give some idea of how vast
is the lumber industry and how
great is the demand for it's pro-
ducts.
A glance at the kinds of lum-
Der produced show very clearly
the passing of white pine and
oak, one the greatest softwood
and the other the greatest hard
wood which the forest has ever
grown. Since 1899 the cut of
white pine has fallen off more
than 40 per cent, while that of
white oak has fallen off more
than SO per cent. To-day vel
low pine leads all other woods
in amount cut, while Douglas
hr-and this Will be a surprise
to many-comes second. Since
1899 the cut Of Douglas fir has
increased 1856 per cent. Louis
lana is the foremost yellow pine
State, with Texas, Mississippi,
and Arkansas following in order.
Washington produces by far the
greatest amount of Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lumber
producing States show that since
1899 there have been many
changes in their relative rank.
Washington, which in 1899 stood
sixth, now leads, while Wiscon-
sin, which eight years ago led
all Others, is now third. In the
same period Oregon, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Idaho and California
made great strides as lumber
producing States, though, on
the other hand, the amount pro
duced in Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Georgia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana,
and Ohio fell off anywhere from
20 to "a per cent.
The highest-priced native
woods are walnut, hickory, and
ash, and the cheapest are larch
and white fir. From the fact,
that since 1899 the
average increase in the price of
lumber has been 40 per cent,
it win not be long before cheap
woods are few and far between.
Figures upon the lumber cut
of the United States in 1906 are
contained in Circular 100 of the
