BY Governor Jas. T. Harrison.

Why let your stomach throw fit
When Dlgestone will cure it, s
my double up and fetch groan
w hen you're in reach of Digestone?
Why put up with stomach's ills
And pay lot of DOCTORS bills
When, tor dollar you will find
Peace both of body and of mind
Then get botte--not vial
for its entitled to a trial.
For money is not spent in vain
When ones lost health it doth regain
Now everything must have start tt -
80 take this lesson TO your heart
Then to thyself thou wilt be true;
So up, and get move on you,
And rush around and buy bottle
And reach your stomach through your throttle
Digestone's sold at Lide's drug store,
And street cars rHn up to the door; :"
So you can either walk or ride,
If you should wish to buy from Lide;
Go openly, and not by stealth,
For Dgestone's the road to health
Twill bring the sparkle to your eye,
Twill make you cease ''hard tines to cry:
will put spring into your walk
And cheerfuiness into your talk
Twill paint your life with rainbow hnes,
And to the devil drive the blues,
For that is where the bmes belong
Though you may think that | am wrong

But surely, it's enough for you.

cd inspiration by means which prOy-
/ ed so injurious that it caused the pre-
mature decay of his faculties. He was
accustomed to shut himself in a room
/ with quantity of music paper pens
and ink and three or four pots of
strong coffee. He would then begin TO
write and drink, and . hen this supply
| of coffee was exhausted he would
order more and continue to drink it as
long as he wrote.
lie asserted that the coffee was nee
essary for his inspiration. The result
OF this perniciOus habit was a yellow.
parchment-like complexion, with lips
almost jet black and a nervous system
which soon caused his breakdown and
death.
ROssini was perhaps the LATEST of all
musicians whose names are famous.
lie would rarely rise until midday. and
often when he woke and the weather
was duh or the muse did not inspire
MN to write he would turn over again
anu after directions to his servant TO
be called the following day would sleep
pliSSfully for another twenty-four
hours.
lie did most of his writing in bed.
ana before retiring for the night he
would place music paper and a pencil
near his bedside so that he would not
have to move in order to have the
means at hand for writing down the
musical thoughts which came.
1t is told of him that after writing
part of Il beautiful duet for an opera
the sheet on which he was writing fell
to the floor and, caught by puff of
wind, was soon beyond his reach. He
was too lazy to get up and get it and
thereby disturb the nicely arranged
bedclothes, so he set to work ana
wrote another melody. as he could not
remember how the first one went.
Thus in the opera I'll Turco in Italia
there are two duets for one situation,
and singers can choose the one which
pleases them best
LisZt was probably the VaineSt of
great composers and also one of the
most caprcious. 1t was only when in
the mood that he would play. and if
pressed to do so against his will he
would often become almost insulting.
1t is told of MIN that after being en-
tertained at dinner he was asked hv
his hostess to perform on the uiano.
and on refusing and again being
asked he stalked to the piano and
after dashing off a short but brilliant
composition he hurried from the room,
saying as he went: There. madam!
have paid for my dinner!
On similar occasion. after dinner
party, he was pressed by his host to
play. Not being in the mood. however.
he refused; but, no doubt thinking that
genius needed urging. his host insisted.
The musician then walked to the piano
and, turning his back to the keyboard.

popular airs.-Mary Hamilton Talbot

THE MAINE ELECTION.
Good Weather and Local Issues Bring
 Ont Fig Vote.

Portland, Me. Sept l4.-The peo- pie began rendering their verdict upon candidates and Issues Tn the state election at ' a. m. to-day, with beautiful Indian summer weather as an incentive to go to the polls. They were given until D. m. to deposit their ballots and in the first hour or two the carefully marked papers dropped into the boxes as fast as au- tumn leaves.
 Both parties this year had the ben eft of popular and well Known men as ticket leaders, Bert NJ. Farnald oi Poland, a large canner of corn, head ing the republican ticket, while Obadiah Gardner of Rockland, known to every granger In the state because of his long term of service as the head of that organization, headed the democratic ticket.
 The voters of the state were asked to All 2S6 offices, including state, legislative, congressional and coun- ty. For these positions there were 731 candidates and with 20 cities. 425 towns and "A plantations, the work of collecting and counting the ballots was long and tedious one and 1t was not expected that the re- suit would be definitely known until some hours after the close Of the polls.
 If good weather, well defined is- sues and popular candidates are an incentive for heavy voting, there was every indication when the polls opened to-day that the result would show an unusually large number at the polls. .'.
 The heaviest vote in the history or the state was in 1888, when S45,3S4 voters deposited their ballots. Four years ago about l30,000 went to the polls and slightly more than that number two years ago. Politicians when they saw the good weather to- day freely predicted that all records would be broken in this years cleo tion.

LAKE SHORE WRECK
Twelve Persons Badly Injured in a
 Rear-End Collision.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Twelve per sons were injured, four of them so seriously that they are expected to die, in wreck on the Lake Shore X Michigan Southern railroad at Ches- terton, a small town 40 miles from Chicago shortly after midnight last night. A suburban train from Chi cago, leaving here at 11a20 crashed into the rear end of an excursion train bound for Indianapolis from Chicago over the Lake Erie & Vest ern, while the latter was standing at the station. The rear car of the ex- cursion train was badly wrecked. The suburban train was slowing down to stop at the station and was not running at high rate of speed. None of its cars left the track. The injured were taken to the office of a local physician and their injuries cared for. One woman was said to have been taken from under the wheels of the locomotive badly crushed. The others were caught in the wreckage of the car. The col lision was due to a heavy mist which hid the excursion train from view of the engineer of the suburban train.

OUR TOBACCO CROP.
Good Success With the Weed in Con-
 necticut River Section.

Windsor. Sept 1.-The harvesting of the tobacco crop In the connecti- cut river section Is now nearly com pleted and reports from all the grow CTS are to the effect that 1t is the best crop that has been raised in this section in many years. Practically all of it has been cut and Is now hanging in the barns for curing. Good growing weather was the rule throughout the season and the plants. 1t is said. besides having at talned good size. are of excellent quality In this vicinity there Is a shrlnkage of about 15 per cent in the acreage, but this it is pointed out is due to the fact that many small growers became discouraged by req son of the prices obtained for their product last winter and did not plant tobacco this season. while the large growers apparently have con cluded that smaller crop, well har- vested and housed more carefully is more profitable than larger crop, which could not be given the same attention.
 This year the majority of the yield is the Connecticut Havana to- bacco, but little of the broad leaf being grown. Much care has been taken in harvesting and in some cases the growers have returned to the old system of picking the leaves of the plants In the fields, while oth- CTS have used the hook lathes to string the plants on, instead of spearing them on to the lathes, the object being to prevent the bruising of the leaves. Some of the larger growers who began early to harvest expect, if the present weather holds good to be able to begin taking down the tobacco in about two weeks. Good prices are expected for this years crop.

Emma Goldman Says the Police Are
 Not Worth Blowing Up.
 New York, Sept l4.-Emma Gold man boomed her paper, Mother Earth, aired her views on free love, roasted the police and gave lit- tie puff to her friend Alexander Berkman in a hall at 206 East Broadway yesterday afternoon. A number of detectives attended the meeting.
 It was something of a gala day for the anarchists, for Berkman had received considerable advertising from the recent Cooper Union affair, and after five days in the workhouse had been released on Saturday The anarchists were prepared to give him welcome home yesterday, but he did not appear at the meeting. Of him and his arrest for disturbing public meeting Emma Goldman said: .f
 He Is the same anar:hist to-day that he always was. He has done IA years in prison, and five days more didn't hurt him any. l openly say that the police are mistaken if they believe they caJl- stop anarchy in that way. The police are not worth blowing to hell with gun powder, and if they get good lick ing once they wont be doing again what they did at Cooper Union.

TESTING OFFICIAL VIRTUE.

The subjoined statement is from an essay by John F. Fitzgerald, printed in contemporary:
 The subject of graft is so much discussed ,n the American press Of America that if one is to believe half what he hears it pervades every sphere of American official life, while the countries abroad are pre-. sumed to be free from it. So T. thought I would test the probity of English officials. I therefore point- ed out my trunks to the inspector, and he asked me if I carried any liquors ar cigars, to which replied that 1 did not. He then asked me to open one of my trunks, which did, and he proceeded to look into it. I then thought I would see what influence money had. and slipped two shillings into his hand. Imme- diately he slammed down the lid Of the trunk, put chalk mark on 1t, and asked for my other pieces, and in less time than 1t takes to tell it my trunks were all 0 K'd by the customs officials and 1 was ready | for my journey to London.
 Thus an agile former mayor Of Boston. who believes that he will | be renominated and reelected next | year, frankly admits that he bribed British customs inspector in Liver l pool. He did so, apparently, for the purpose of showing that graft is as common in England as in America. In order to make his belief and con- tention good 1t will be necessary for i'm to do considerable bribing be- | fore his return to America.
 That is an interesting and in some ways an important object lesson. l The mayors frank confession may make some trouble for the bribed inspector, if he really exists, but we hasten to assure the citizens Of Liverpool and other cities where cus- toms officers abound that the graf | ters and bribers who were busted
 from control in this city last year
 by an outraged electorate never ! stopped so low as to accept brides Of
 two shillings each. Two thousand l dollars was the amount which poor
 old Mulligan of Revere had to pay
 for the East Boston swill contract,
 and that was considered moderate
 price.
 Possibly official grating in Eng land and on the continent will be
 elevated and placed upon business
 basis ere the present Boston inya-
 sion of Great Britain. Ireland and
 the continent for political purposes
 comes to an end-Boston Journal
