1t should be remembered that Dr. Morrow
IS native of Maine and practiced medicine
here for some time and during his stay here
made some of the most astounding cures ever
recorded to any physician in this State and
the most wonderful thing about the many
cures he made was that not one patient in
twenty ever went to his office, but wrote
him their symptoms and his wonderful knowl-
edge OF disease was great that from their
symptoms he was able to send them medicine
that cured them after many others of our best
physicians had failed and we truly believe DR..
Morrow can cure nine out of every ten whose
faces he has never seen just as well as though
they called at his office, providing they send
for his self examining outfit, which is free and
carefully answer all questions pertaining to
their case and we trust all in need of medical
treatment will not only send for Dr. Morrow s
free sample of System Renovator, but to also
request the doctor to send you his free self
examining outfit and learn just what to do to
be cured if durable Address ]. W. Morrow,

Joliet, and the State of Illinois hes voted

Joliet, and the State of Illinois has voted
twenty millions more to carry it toward
the Mississippi. The great task, how
ever, lies in Strengthening, deepening and
making permanent the channel of that
stream itself. It is well named the Father
of Waters, and is SO big, and carries such
an immense volume of water, thatit will
be extremely difficult, and costly, to
control it. Our engineers have, how
ever, solved no less difficult problems.
When it is realized that the Mississippi
and it's tributaries can freight from a
vast territory extending from Pittsburg
to Omaha and from Minneapolis to New
Orleans and that by means of the ship
canal and the proposed connection with
the Red River of the North it could also
reach the great lakes region and the
Canadian northwest, the Importance of
the giant scheme can be dimly realized.
1t would extend the coast line of the ma
ton by multiplied thousands of miles,
would relieve crop COMPOSITIONS through
out the vast wheat, corn and cattle belt,
would lower freight rates, would make a
continuous ship canal from New York
via the enlarged Erie canal to Buffalo,
thence through the great lakes to Chica-
go and from there down the Mississippi
to the gulf, would furnish new outlet
to such important trade centers as Chica-
go, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Louisville, Sioux City, Omaha, Kansas
City, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Memphis
and would be boon to the farmers and
merchants of the entire interior of the
United States and Canada.

m MEMORY OF HATTIE E. BLACK.

She sleeps. our sister dear. in sweet repose
Meath earth's cold clod,
Secure from pain q her spirit free
Returned to God:
To God, who gave life in fragrance fraught
With deeds Of love;
He but reclaims what was his to dwell
With him above.
Recalled ere writhing blast or blight had marred
The lovely flower;
Secure where storms of life or grief in vain
To harm hath power.
Though tears will fall and signs the bosom swell
Yet let her rest;
God called her home to fairer, purer scenes,
He knows twas best.
We miss her smiling, her gentle voice,
Amid our bands;
And yet the while we know she doth us wait
In fairer lands,
In realms of bliss where ne'er sigh is breathed.
A sad farewell
Though panied in losing, would we recall?
Nay, let her dwell.
Meier recall; though the vacant chair
Doth grieve each heart,
We know our loss to her is sweetest gain,
Which soothes the smart
IT'S but little way across the strand,
Ere long we'll meet
And join our sister gone before
Forever to greet. As

A Ghost House, a Phantom Light and
a Mystic Woodchuck.


a Mystic Woodchuck.
Bowdoinham boasts a verltable
ghost house where 1t is said the chairs
refuse to stay quietly in their places,
but In the middle of the night walk
out and draw together In groups just
as If guided by visible hands. Then
there is a spirit a n that goes walk
ing all by itself just at midnight, tap
ping its way along from Dol to room
and finally taking up its abode in the
chamber where a member Of the fami-
" sleeps. That this statement Is true
is affirmed by those who have seen
the phenomena and who are not at all
afraid of ghosts.
At another house In the village Is a
phantom light that shines each night
no matter whether it be moonlight or
darkness just above the closet door in
the upper chamber. For years this
light has disturbed the people who at
different times have occupied the room,
and some have been much afraid or
the pickering CLEAN. From time to
time different explanations have been
offered, but none has proved satisfac-
tory. The light continues to shine, and
no one can account for the mystery.
Down at Lazy o camp is a spook
w%oodchuck which every evening, just
at the sunset hour, comes out of an
old family tomb, halfway between the
camp and the home farm. There on
the tomb he sits quietly. watching the
sunset lights ON the waters of Merry
meeting. Just as the sun sinks below
the horizon he disappears. The tomb
swallows him up. and he is seer no
more until the sunset hour comes
round again.-Kennebec Journal.

wears a gandoura more or less richly

one of three accepted patterns, from
which no deviation nor any combina-

The only matter In which personal
taste is allowed to show itself is in the
choice of color. In this respect entire
