THE MopEsTY
 OF GREATNESS.

Orville and Wilbur Wright are proving themselves unusual men in other respects than in the building of airships. In the accomplishment of their great purpose of navigating the air they have shown themselves men of ability. courage and of such determination as flags in the face of no difficulty. In the reception of the great honors that have been thrust upon them by the people offtwo con- tinents, including such personages as kings and presidents, they have shown themselves possessed of nc less sterling qualities than those which went toward making the orig inal success.
 And with 1t all the native simplic ity of the men has not changed ir the least. At the end of the drs' of the two days celebration that has just besn brought to sn end in theiI home toNn, each rose in answer tc the eulogies that had been heaped up on them and answered simply Thank you. gentlemen" Then VII bur turned to orviIle and said: 'Tet'i hurry home: you know we have t get up early"

MEXICAN POLITICS.

MEXICAN POLITICS.
 Mexico is in the midst of politi ca, agitation that is decidedly inter esting though but little notice is takei of it. Today the question is: After Diaz who, and what: Mexico's dis tinguished president is quite old That he will die in ofice is practical fy conceded Then who will succeed him? A few years ago the vice pres ident's once was created in order that Diaz might always have sue. ccssor at hand to grasp the reins oi the government without a minutes interregnum. Some persons like to think of Mexico as monarchy in everything but narue: yet there is a most essential difference. for king ship descends from father to son and whoever heard of Diaz, jr.. even sug-
 
 gested as his fathers successor.
 The vice president is Ramon Cor ral, former governor of Sonora. He would be constitutional president if Diaz should die. If he were ambitious to be the choice in the ensuing cleo ton, he might perhaps gain an ad- vantage through his holding the of flee Corral is said by some to be the personal choice of Diat; but there is a large element supporting Gen. Bernardo Reyes, governor of Nuevo Leon. Benito Juarez, congress man from Oaxaca. son of the presi- dent who upheld the republic against Aiaximilian. Is an ardent advocate of the general and has been conducting an active campaign in his behalf. Quite recently he addressed a gath ering at Guadalajara. said to be a stronghold of Reyes sentiment.
 It is the popular belief that Gen. Reyes is inclined to be antiforeign in his sentiments, matter of much interest on account of the enormous American and European investments and the number of foreigners living in Mexico. How far this impression represents Gen. Reyes real feelings it Is hard to say with certainty. It is interesting to note, however. thar he is credited with seeking the favor of the native labor unions that are bitterly anti-American. That he is much admired by the leaders of these organizations admits of no doubt His pictures occupies a conspicuous place in many of their meeting places and he is praised at their gatherings Gov. Creel of Chihuahua. formerly ambassador at Washington. is thought of as presidential possibil ity and he has also shown some dis position to cultivate labor union friendship.
 What influence these organization may have it may not be entirely safe to assume. A superficial observer 1T Mexico might answer at once "Nons whatever" Perhaps he would b' right; perhaps not. It is true that al union outbseaks have been suppress ed with an iron hand and the organi xst.ons have received severe set backs, but they continus to live ant their hand is plain in the movemen for the gradual elimination of Ameri can railroad employees.
 That Gen. Reyes. whatever view he may entertain. is candidate t be reckcned with, either for vic president or for president when tn great Diaz passes away is beyond dis pute. Ask any one in Mexico. nativ' or foreigner. to name the probabl' successor of Diaz and he Is certain t name Reyes as one of the several pos abilities. such as Corral.

The Doctors
Question
Some Advice Against the Use
of Harsh Purgatives
and Physics

A doctors first question when con-
suited by patient is, Are our bowels
regular?" He knows that 90 per cent
of illness is attended with inactive
bowels and torpid liver. This condi
tion poisons the system with waste
matter and causes accumulation of
gases which must be removed through
the bowels before health can be re-
stored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force a passage through the
bowels, causing pain and damage to
the delicate intestinal structure which
weakens the whole system, and at best
only produces temporary relief. The
repeated use of such treatments caus-
es chronic irritation Of the stomach
and bowels, dries and hardens their
tissues, deadens their nerves, stiffens
their muscles and generally brings
about an injurious habit which some
times has almost If not fatal results.
We have pleasant and safe remedy
for constipation and bowel disorders
in general. We are 80 certain OF Its
great curative value that we promise
to return the purchasers money In
every case where 1t fails TO produce
entire satisfaction. This remedy is
called Rexall Orderlies. We urge
you to try them at our entire risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy, they act quietly and have
soothing, strengthening. healing, regu-
lative influence on the entire intesti-
nal tract. They do not purge, grippe,
cause nausea, flatulence, excessive
looseness, diarrhoea or other annoy
ing effects, and they may be taken at
any time without inconvenience.
Rexall Orderlies overcome the drug
ging habit and safely remedy consti
patton and associate ailments whether
acute or chronic, except in surgical
cases. They are especially good for
children, weak persons or old folks.
Price, SO tablets 25 cents, and IL tab
let's 10 cents. Remember you can OBJ
tain Rexall Remedies in Skowhegan

In 1880 the State of Maine had Ca
309 farms; in 1890 it had 62,O13; in
1900 it had 59,299.
In 1880 the number of acres in the
farms which were improved, 3,4S4 sos;
in 1890 the number had dropped off
some 100000 acres, or to 3,O44,666,
while in 1900 it had dropped off over
100000 acres, or to 2,3S6,8S9.
1t is to be noted, however, in this
connection that while in 1880 the av-
erage number OF acres to a farm was
101 it had increased in 1900 to 1O6.
The fact therefore that the number
of farms in the State of Maine In 20

an increase in the average number OF
acres to farm, of five.
