Father Noble" who passed away
March 4 at Woodstock, N. B., aged IS
years and months, was well known
in Augusta. He was son of Ben1a-
min Noble of Lower Brighton, N. B.,
and grandson of Rev. Seth Noble,
whose forefathers came from England
and settled in the United States. Seth
Noble entered the Congregational min
istry and went to New Brunswick IN
1774, later returning to this side of the
border for time. During 1855 he was
pastor OF the Congregational churchrin
Augusta. Several of his descendants
are now residents of Maine.

The reception rendered Rev. Henry
e. Dunnack Wednesday evening by
the Green Street Methodist church
marked an important event in the his
tory of the Augusta church, the begin
nirg of the 10th year of the pastorate
Of Mr.. Dunnack over this society. It
was only few years ago that the
time limit was removed from Metho-
dist pastorates and so far as can be
learned Mr.. Dunnack holds the dis
tinction of having held the longest con-
tinuous passionate of any Methodist
minister in New England.
The church parlors were prettily dec
GRATED in horror of the event. Couches
and chairs We're tastefully arranged
and handsome rugs adorned the floor.

without the knowledge of Mr.. Dun
mack, includes a note Of SITS, which
had been standing for over 80 years,
and the balance due upon the repairs
on the church, making a total of $235.
Rev. Henry i. Dunnack came to the
Green Street church in this city 10
years ago from the West End church,
Portland, where he had q successful
pastorate and was already acquiring
reputation as a preacher of ability.
When Mr.. 1)unnack came to Augusta
the fortunes Of the Green Street church
were not as encouraging as at present
and the prosperity which it now en-
joys is due in great measure to his eff
forts.
When he came to Augusta in 1899
the church had POS members, while it's
membership teday numbers $50, an in
crease of over so per cent. Mr.. Dun-
mack found a Sunday school of SO when
he came to the church and its member
ship now numbers $50. Under his pas
torate the local chapter of the Ep-
worth League has grown from small
beginnings to a membership of 103,
making it one of the largest chapters
in the State. The Green Street church
which had no class meeting when Mr..
Dunnack came to it's pastorate now
has, class meeting of 100 members,
and is probably one of the best and
most enthusiastic if not the largest
class meeting in New England.
During his pastorate his salary has
been increased from $1400 to $1,000. A
new organ and new heating plant have
been installed, a new chimney built,
new roof placed on the church and the
church completely remodeled at a cost
of $6000 since Mr.. Dunnack came to
the church, and the total valuation Of
the church property is not far from
$4,000
Mr.. Dunnack is reckoned by his fell
low ministers as one of the ahlest
Methodist preachers in the State. He
is called upon frequently to deliver
lectures. addresses and sermons in all
parts of New England, and his sermon
at the recent session of the Maine
Methodist Conference at Berlin, N. H.,
has been favorably commented upon
from many sources. At this conference
session he was again reappointed to
the charge at Augusta, which he has
filed so acceptably since 1899.

first took up mission work, but later
accepted a fixed pastorate, being first
located at Woodstock, n. B., and was
afterwards pastor in Nova Scotia, as
we'll as various places in New Bruns-
wick. He retired from active work in
1902, but continued to preach as sup
ply minister until within few months
Of his death.
At the union service of the two Bap-
fist bodies in St. John in October, 1905,
Mr.. Noble was an attendant at all the
sessions At the time of his death he
was probably the oldest minister Of
any denomination in the maritime
provinces.

A Premium on Folly.

Uncle Hiram, who wears whiskers
and lives in comic weeklies, will be
delighted with the latest news from
New York. A man in the metropolis
has invented a device which enables
one to blow out the gas without fear
of the consequences. BY a mechanism
too complicated to describe, the gas,
when blown out, automatically shuts
itself off. SO perfect IS the contriv-
ance, according to the inventor, that
ever the gas bill ceases to run.
Hiram, the comics tells US, has never
been able to understand why meddle-
some people should interfere with his
simple, homely diversions. Blowing
out the gas, he has always maintained,
Is one Of those personal privileges
guaranteed us under the Constitution.
A machine which will enable him to
blow out all the gas within reach,
without need for subsequent hospital
treatment, will do much to restore
Hiram's faith in popular government.
So much for the blowing out of gas;
but why can not this beneficent genius
turn his attention to other needed in
ventions? Where Is the machine that
will make banana peels or the side
walk a delight to pedestrians? Isn't
there some device that will make the
humorist who rocks boats and pulls
chairs from under folks a public bene-
factor? Cant We have an antidote for
the revolver which no one supposed
was loaded?-Success Magazine.

In connection with the work on the
canal 1t is probable hat the majority
of the Americans back homo do not
comprehend all the details, most Of
them viewing it as a matter Of digging
q ditch, hauling away the dirt and
building a few locks and dams, a Colon
letter to the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat says. 1t is hardly likely that the
work one in sanitation and in erect
ing buildings and the cost of the same
are fully realized. When the French
Canal Company turned over to the
American army officers their posses
sions on the isthmus there were In
cluded in the transfer close on to 1,SO0
houses. For several years prior to
that time the French had been doing
scarcely anything except a little dig
cling at Culebra, and, as these houses
were strung all along the line and
were but little used, they were natur-
ally IN bad condition.. Since that time
the canal commission has erected
something like 1900 buildings. These
have cost, more or less, $4,000, 900,
American money. n the repairs nee
essary to make the French houses
again habitable cost nearly $1,000, 900

Cleanliness and good appetite are
twins; so are cheerfulness and good
digestion. Avoid chickering's and heat
ed discussions at the table. Eat slow
", taking time to chew thoroughly
your food. You will be coaxed into
an appetite through so little a thing as
the immaculate cleanliness of the lin
en- and the dishes, the garnishing Of
the meat with parsley, watercress or
latticed potatoes. A relish-olives,
onions, radishes, celery-often helps a
stalled appetite into another course.
And the serving hot-not lukewarm-
Of the vegetables and meats that come
from the oven is a wonderful aid to
Digestion.

he is doing in various localities. In
one locality his business may be fall
ing off and he wants to jack it up a
little and here he may think he will
take more space; in another locality
his sales nay be running along all
right and here he thinks what he has
got may do, and then it may be that
he thinks he would like to branch out
a little, in districts that he has not
yet covered.
Thus it may happen that the adver-
tiser wants to look the territory over.
and in such case the concern that buys
and sells wall space puts the customer
in an automobile and sends a man out
with him to show what it has to offer.
