Animal. With Packets.

Did you ever think what a curious
thing It is that some animals have
pockets-great. roomy. fur lined vest
pockets. big enough to carry a family
Of little ones about in? Many Of the
animals native to Australia and Tas-
mania have these convenient pockets.
and so has the possum. a common
animal in our southern states. The
kangaroo is the largest Of this species.
Full grown kangaroos go sixteen feet
at a jump. and so when going on

Of the Erie railroad, a man he believed
the freight department Of the Central
needed. says the Baltimore News. 1t
Is related that some time after he took
charge Of the Central's tranic ONCE
Rutter called on the commodore to
submit plan for improvement. When
he had stated the case the president
looked at him sharply and asked:
'sRutter. what does the New York
Central pay you $4,000 a year HprT
The reply was. For managing the
freight traffic department"
And then the commodore said, "Well,
you don't expect me to earn your sal
airy for you. do youg"
Rutter went out and carried through
his plan on his own judgment. The re-
suit was highly satisfactory. Rutter
became president Of the Central.

The Old Roman Ballot.

The ballot was first introduced into
Rome in the second century B. Z.
This was the real Australian ballot
The voter received a sort Of wooden
slate covered with wax on which the
names Of all the candidates were
scratched. He made holes In the wax
opposite those Of his choice and
dropped his tablet in the box. After
the downfall Of the Roman republic
popular government took long sleep,
and there was little use for a ballot

THE MT. WALDO GRANITE co.

AS a result of the receivership for the Peirce
and Bradley granite concerns in New York, it
was necessary to have receiver appointed to
take charge of the business in Maine, and, on
petition to the court Judge Whtehouse has
appointed Hon. William 7. Cobb of this city, to
perform the duties. The property thus passing
under his control comprises the original Peirce
plant, the Mount Waldo granite quarres and
works at Frankfort. The business was founded
by the father of John and Albert Peirce, now
deceased, and is owned by them, and incorpor-
ated as the Mount Waldo Granite Co. 1t is one
of the largest and best granite plants in the
country, and many large contracts for building
granite have been executed there, and large
quantities Of paving are cut there every year.
The principal contract now being filled at
Mount Waldo is to furnish cut stone for the
St. Louis library and $50 men are at work
there. Former Governor Cobb understands
that work will not be interrupted. A number
of other firms in this section have contracts
sub-let to them by the New York firms, among
them being the material for the Chicago ter
minal. Work is going along on these as if
nothing had happened. Governor Cobb is
largely interested in the granite business, as
stockholder in the Bodwell Granite company,
and is quite familiar with the whole business
situation. Under his management the affairs
of the concern entrusted to his control will
unquestionably be wisely, fairly and ably ad-
ministered. As receiver Of the Eastern Steam
ship Co., when its affairs were being adjusted
after the Morse crash, in which they were in
volved, the business was very cleverly and
satisfactorily managed and the company ex-
tricated from what seemed at one time likely
to become rather bad condition, in excellent
shape and with value unimpaired. His success
in that receivership may have had something
to do with the suggestion OF his name in
connection with this ment.-Rockland

OBITUARY.

A telegram was received Friday for DR.
Elmer Small, who accompanied his wife to the
Deaconess Hospital in Boston, announcing the
death of Carrie A., wife of James B. Small Of
Lynn, Mass, his only brother. Her death oc-
Cured Thursday, June 24th. She is surviv-
ed by her husband and an adopted daughter
Madeline. She was woman of marked refine
ment and beautiful character. In a letter to
Mrs. Elmer Small received here since her
departure for Boston, were words of comfort
and sympathy for her ordeal Of suffering and
danger, the writer little realizing that her own
end was SO near at hand. She was we'll known
in Belfast, where her husband was frequent
visitor. Her letter enclosed the following
verses:
NOT AS WILL
Blindfolded and alone l stand
With unknown thresholds on each hand;
The darkness deepens as grope,
Afraid to fear, afraid to hope;
Yet this one thing learn to know,
Each day more surely as go,
That doors are opened, ways are made,
Burdens are lifted or are laid
By some great law unseen and still,
Unfathomed purpose to fulfill,
"Not as WILL"
Blindfolded and alone wait,
Loss seems too bitter, gain too late;
Too heavy burdens in the load,
And too few helpers on the road;
And joy is weak, and grief is strong,
And years and days so long, SO long;
Yet this one thing learn to know,
Each day more surely as go,
That am glad the good and i'll
By changeless law are ordered still,
"Not as will"
"Not as l will" the sound grows sweet
Each time my lips the words repeat.
"Not as l will" the darkness feels
More safe than light when this thought steals
Like whispered voice to calm and bless
All unrest and all loneliness.
"Not as will, because the One
Who loved US first and best has gone
Before US on the road, and still
For US must all His love fulfill,
"Not as we will

WHAT IS HY0MEI?
You Have Heard About the Catarrh Cure The Lee & 0sgood Co.
 Guarantees.

Hyomei is a wonderful antiseptic. so powerful that it promptly destroys germ life, vet its action on the mucous membrane is extremely soothing and healing. It relieves cstarrh in five minutes; it cures in d few weeks or money back.
 It is made chiefly of eucalyptus and eucalyptol taken from the eucal- yptus forests of inland Australia. The medical profession knows that eucal- yptus is an absolutely certain germ destroyer. and with the active princi- ples of eucalyptus as a base Hyomei is made more efficient. pleasant and quick acting by t,le addition of Thy mol, an antiseptic and disinfectant largely employed in the Historian Sys- tenn. Guaiacol and other important medicinal agents are also included in the Hyomel formula, which, without doubt, is the greatest destroyer of catarrh germs the world has ever known.
 Hyomei is a powerful. penetrating antiseptic that is pleasant to use. lt does not contain a particle of cocaine, opium or any habit-forming or injur- ious drug.
 No dosing the stomach when you use Hyomei. Just breathe it in through the small inhaler that comes with each outfit Sold by leading druggists everywhere and in Norwich by The Lee & Osgood Co. $1.00 for complete outfit.

AT BROADWAY THEATER.
The Chorus Lady.

Greatly impressed with the work of Rose Stahl in The Chorus Lady was the audience at the Broadway theater on Tuesday evening, so much so that there were repeated curtain calls, es- pecially SC after the third act. Her work at that particular point was ex- ceptionally strong, although there were other scenes during the four acts where she had plenty of opportunity to display her ability.
 Miss Stahl is one of the few enter tainers before the public who has her audiences laughing one minute and crying the next. This ability to shift from the sublime to the ridiculous and back again is possessed by few stars It is valuable requisite and lucky is she who can claim it for her own.
 As an exponent of slang and as a comedian Miss Stahl is all that her most ardent admirers could ask. She handed out the latest bonmots of the Tenderloin with the most modern trimmings. Her body, voice, face and every bit of her bubbling per sonality is brought into play for the purpose of pleasing and achieves it's aim. Miss StahPs Patricia O'Brien is character creation that will stand the test of time.
 The Chorus Lady has several morals
 
 is a wonderful argument in favor of the theory that "the woman always pays" Both ends of the game of life are held up to view that those who watch the thread of the piece may choose.
 The settings of the four acts were excellent. and especially good was the dressing room scene, something which is out of the ordinary in stage set tings.
 In the presentation of the play the star has the assistance of some ca pable people. Silas Shine as Patrick O'Brien was very good, while the whole-souled Mrs. O'Brien Is cleverly done by Alice Leigh. The work of this couple is one of the features of the play. Stanley Yessup was a smooth villain, while Claire Lane as the jealous chorus girl pleased. Ken yon Bishop as the wardrobe woman gave a clever bit of acting and Isabel Goodwin made good as Nora, while Wilfred Lucas as the lover carried well his role and the others gave suc- cessful support.
