boys who were chronically inclined to
rll: away from school. Mr. Hall set
his brain to work to devise some meth
cd to remedy an evil which the courts
could not stop.
Early last spring he found places
for few of these truant-inclined boys
upon Wisconsin farms, with wages
from S. to $40 month and board, and
the plan worked so well that the sys-
tenn already seems to be a pronounced
success, over 200 boys being located
during the summer
Fully so per cent of these city
wrecked lads have made good in every
way, and their letters telling of the
joys of country life, air. food, scenery,
new associations and the good sleep
and appetite induced by regular work
have created a desire for farm life

BIG PRODUCTION
IN BALTIMORE
OF Gen. Lew Waliace's Mighty Rihl:.
cal Drama aBen-tiur," Week
Of January 3 to 9.


When the curtain is drawn at the
Academy of Music. Baltimore, on
Monday evening January s. the most
elaborate, magnificent and historical
ly correct production will be disclos-
ed that has ever charmed and enthral-
led theatre audience, for this VIII
be the premier OF the Chicago Audi
torium production Of 'Ben-Hur" in
Baltimore.
"Ben-Hur," with its lustrous Star
OF Bethlehem, its camels, Arabian
steeds, Oriental trappery, and mimic
splendor of the gorgeous East" is be-
yond dispute the most elaborate spec
tacle ever staged In the history of the
world. Its series Of scenes present
to the eye q feast OF multifariou
beauty and variety, all set to a SYM
phonic accompaniment OF graceful
music. The exciting episodes, such
as the galley scene with its lords OF
chained slaves; the sea fight, the res
cue in mid-sea and the thrilling Char
lot Race, combined with the pictures 3
que scenes illustrating the Wise men
in the desert, the moonlit lake in the
Orchard of Palms where Ben-Hur and
lras enjoy seclusion and make love in
Iras' barge, the palm-waying worship
pers on Mount olivet, and the Grove
OF Daphne, with the nymphs dancing
in the skins of beasts to the music
OF kissing cymbals-simply captivate
audiences wherever 1t is enacted.
"Ben-Hnr" appeals to all classes, all
ages and all denominations of the
Christian faith, and draws TO it, as 10
place of worship, hundreds of thou
sands who seldom, If ever, set foot
within theatre. The person OF the
Saviour is never made to appear bod
lily in the play, yet in the scene in
which the healing of the lepers is i'm
piled the approach Of the Master is in
dicated by a stream of pure white
light, amazing in its effectiveness.
This scene is the most remarkable of
the play and is heightened in i'm
pressiveness by the singing of a
chorus of one hundred voices
The engagement OF "Ben-Hur" is
for one week only, January 8 to j.
with matinees on Wednesday and Sat
urday. Prices will range from so
cents TO $3.50. Mail orders accom-
panied by remittance will be filled in
order OF receipt. All communications
should be addressed to the manager
Of the Academy of Music. Seats will
be placed on sale Thursday morning

MAKES ASTONISHING CURES
Mi-o-na Tablets Cure Dyspepsia by
Promptly Removing the Cause, or
Money Back.

Mi-o-na is scientific and effective
remedy for the permanent cure of in
digestion.
Food is dgested in the stomach by
means of a churning movement of the
walls of the stomach, which thoroughly
mixes the food with the gastric or
stomach juices.
If the muscular walls are fabby and
lack tone or energy, the stomach CAN
not churn the food properly, and the
digestive juices are not properly mixed
with the food.
This causes indigestion. The COM
mon symptoms are: weight and full
ness after meals, coated tongue, bad
taste in mouth, discharges of wind
from the mouth. and belching of sour
material.
Dyspepsia cannot be cured by taking
a dlgester. such as pepsin, because
persin simply digests your food arti-
fically, and not all of the food either.
for it has no effect at all on starchy
food such as potatoes, rice, oatmeal,
bread, etc.

CHRISTOPHER GARDNER.
Aged Citizen Ends Life Wednesday
Afternoon by Hanging.

Friends of Christopher Gardner, one
of Augustus older, and well-known
citizens, were shocked yesterday az
ternoon on learning that he had taken
his life by hanging'at his home, corner
of Lincoln and Chestnut streets. Mr.
Gardner was alone in the house at the
time and the act was committed in the
attic sometime between and o'clock
by placing rope over beam. The
cause is supposed to have been de-
spondency due to old age and resultant
ailments. Coroner Plummer was call
ed but the case was so plainly one nf
suicide that no inquest was deemed
necessary.
Mr. Gardner was 81 years of age, and
the widow, four sons and one daughter
survive. Funeral arrangements will be
announced later.

The members of the staff, in COM
mon with the people of the State Of
Maine, believe that you are endowed
with the first requisite OF all true re-
nown, which is character. We feel
that during your administration as
Chief Executive you have striven to
90 right, as God has given you to see
the right. You have honestly tried to
inculcate the principle that all laws
should be respected and enforced and
that the very foundation of all good
government rests upon the principle Of
an honest and faithful observance of
all laws.
On your retirement from Office as
Commanderin-Ch Chief, the members OF
your military staff desire to express TO
you their high appreciation or the uni
form kindness and courtesy with which
you have always treated them. It has
been source of great qualification to
each and every one of us to serve I'M
der you. 1t is something to be proud
CT, and we shall look back on it with
pleasure. Now that our paths in life
arc about to diverge, we desire to pre-
sent to you this token of our regard
and to express the hope that it may
prove to you a lasting reminder of your
term of office as Chief Executive AS
you look upon it, may it suggest to
your mind pleasant memories of by
gone days.
You will please accept it with our
most earnest prayer for your continued
success and prosperity through the
years that are to come. I feel that
should not fully voice the sentiment
of your staff if I did not include in our
prayers, best wishes for each member
Of your family. 1t is regarded as an
emblem of good will and carries with
it the best wishes of the donors.
Governor Cobb responded in brief
hut feeling speech.
