why Railroads Are Narrow Gauge.
Why are all railroads built on ths
standard gauge of four feet eight and
one-half inches? The makers of the
first locomotives thought only of put.
ting their machines upon the tram.
WAYS already in existence, and from
that followed a very interesting and
curious result These tram lines nat
urally had exactly the width prescrib-
ed by the strength of one horse. By
mere inertia the horse cart gauge es-
tahlished itself in the world, and ev-
erywhere the train is dwarfed to a
scale that limits alike it's comfort,
power and speed. Because there is so
much capital engaged and because of
the dead power of custom it is doubt
full if there will ever be any change in
this gauge. Still, it might be worse.
If the biggest horses had been Shet-
land ponies our railway carriages now
would only be wide enough to hold
two persons side by side and would
have a maximum speed of twenty
miles an hour. There is hardly rea.
son aside from this Anticipated horse
why the railway coach should not be
nine or ten feet wide--that is, the
width of the smallest room in which
people can live in comfort and fur
nished with all the equipment of com.

The Worlds Greatest Cellist.

Won Biene, who has long been rec
ognized as the greatest cellist In the
world, like a good many others who
have attained the leading place in
their profession, has other ambitions
which he is endeavoring to realize.
and in fact has realized at his rather
advanced age. When he returned to
this country month or so ago for
a tour on the Keith circuit he arrang-
ed with one of the most prominent
dramatic writers for a sketch in
which he would appear as leading
character and introduce his cello
solos. The character of a poor music
teacher appealed to him and the
sketch was written around this idea.
1t has been meeting with unprece-
dented success aside from the won
derful plaing of the master musician
and will be seen for the first time In
Boston at Keith's next week.

ACTUAL STARVATION
The B. M. Hyde Co. Give
Facts Regarding Dyspepsia

Although Indigestion and dyspep-
sia are so prevalent most people do
not thoroughly understand their
cause and how to obtain relief There
is no reason why people should not
eat anything they desire-if they will
only chew it carefully and thorough
ly. Many actually starve themselves
into sickness through fear of eating
every good-looking, good-smellng and
good-tasting food because it does
not agree with them.
Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. If
we refuse every article of food that
disagrees with us, before long we
have nothing left, and find ourselves
chronic dyspeptics.
We are so confident that we can
furnish relief for Indigestion and dys-
pepsia that we promise to supply the
medicine free of all cost to every one
who uses 1t according to directions.
who is not perfectly satisfied with
the results. We exact no promises
and put no one under any obliga-
ton whatever. Surely nothing could
be fairer. We are located right here
where you live, and our reputation
should be sufficient assurance of the
genuineness of our offer.
We want every one who is troubled
with indigestion or dyspepsia In any
form to come to our store and get a
box Of Rexau Dyspepsia tablets.
Take them home and give them a
reasonable trial, according to direc-
tions. They are very pleasant to
take; they soothe the irritable stom-

OBITUARY.
MRS. ELNIRA HEALD.


Mrs. Elvira Heald OF North Fair
field passed away on Tuesday. the
18th, aged about "A years. Funeral
was held at her late residence on
Friday afternoon and burial took
place in the yard of the church of
which she was member, in her own
neighborhood. The following is in
part what was spoken at her funeral
by Miss Harriet Freeman OF Maiden,
Mass. who officiated:
SHE HATH DONE WHAT SHE
COULD.
Our Saviour uttered these words OF
the woman at Bethany, who had
broken the alabaster box of ointment
over His Sacred head, in amounting
for burial. Down the centuries, and
onward to their close did He affirm,
that this beautiful deed of her love
should continue to give forth it's
fragrance, and be spoken Of as
memorial to her. So it has and so it
will. Were he to speak to us now,
with audible voice, as He doth with
H.,
the same words over the dear depart
ed, the silent sleeper our beloved
Elvira Heald. SurelN surely, She
hath done what she could and the
world is better because she lived IL
it while heaven above hath another
glorified one added to its redeemed
throng. With her life work complet-
ed. who of us could have desired her
to remain longer? Her spirit ascends
for continued, but holler service, and
with the psalmist, We too. may say
Precious in the sight of the LORD is
the death of His saints And yet
not death is this with the Limitations
Of the flesh removed, her sweet spirit
emerges into larger life, and she
joins in that service of which we
conceive, of which we joyously appre-
bend, when we read His word: Ye
shall be priests and kings unto God.
Who doubts that her going was pre-
cious in the sight of her Lord whom
she loved and served? 1t was not to
her to die, 1t was only to go. Yet like
Paul, she had willingness to stay, If
that were better. She made no re-
pulse to the grim messenger, for the
victory In her exclaim not this:
Though | walk through the valley of
shadow OF death, | will fear no evil,
for Thou art with me-" and 30 as a
tired child sings restfully to sleep on
Its mothers bosom, she went.
BLESSED are the dead which die In
the Lord from henceforth: Yea saith
the spirit that they may rest from
their labors: and their works do fol-
low them"
Blessed that her works do follow;
deeds of love- always warm. and al
ways performed, and faithful in every
duty never slighted. "Henceforth'
her works influence and live, and
like the living fragrance of the broken
alabaster box enters into the great
universe of God to abide.
There shall never be one lost good.
What was. shall live as before. Do
we ask: What of the good or other
wise that shall follow us? The choice
lies within at this still and solemn
time. She tried for God and she built
better than she knew. Shall we build
forward where she left off? For we.
too, must at length leave off and so
hence-but upward and to the JOY of
service, which what men call death
can never break off. We shall never
cease to be, neither can this service
ever cease.
"We die not at all, for our dead remains,
To crown with honor, or mar with stain:
Through endless sequence OF fears to come,
Our lies shall speak, when our lips are dumb
