For many years eczema was sup

cured through the skin. The eminent

discovered the eczema germ, and his
discovery was quickly taken up In
Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ, and at the
same time heal the skin. DR.. Dennis

East Coming Into Its Own.

The "call of the golden West" has
been overdone, and the reaction has
set in. The thousands who went West
"to get rich in ten years" discovered
that for every man who could get rich
in a decade there We're many more
who could do little if any better than
in New England.
The man who landed in the West
without capital soon found that it
at home. Wages were high, but liv-
ing expenses We're higher. The rail-
road that took him out for a pittance
wanted a fortune to take him back.
The "home seekers" ticket was an al
together different thing from the
home sicker's" ticket
The farmer who had spent weary
hours peddling manure out of the back
end of cart on his New England
farm, revelled in riches as long as his
new Western farm retained the
strength of virgin soil When he
reached the point where he must give
back to the land a part of the strength
he had taken away, his dream was
shattered. Some reduced their hold
ings. Others followed the crowd into
the Canadian Northwest and the In
dian lands. Still others had courage
to think of home.
New England long used to being
termed region of barren farms, dis
covered that perhaps it wasn't so bad
after all. that the stern and rock
bound coast didn't mean the
whole district. Aroostook is raising
potatoes. The rest of Maine knows

How He Did 1t.

"When l was connected with a GER
tain Western railway" says promi-
nent official of an Eastern line, I'VE
had in our employ a brakeman who,
for special service rendered to the
road, was granted a months vacation.
He decided to spend his time in a
trip over the Rockies. We furnished
him with passes
He went to Denver, and there met
a number of his friends at work on
one of the Colorado roads. They gave
him a good time, and when he went
away made him a present OF Il
mountain goat.
Evidently our brakeman was at a
loss to get the animal home with him.
as the express charges were very
heavy at that time. Finally, however,
hitting upon a happy expedient, he
made out a shipping tag and tied 1t to
the horns of the goat. Then he
presented the beast to the office OF the
stockcar line.
well, that tag created no end of
amusement, but it served to ac-
complish the end of the brakeman. II

Canada Coming In7

The Washington Post sees in thu
heavy emigration from our republic
to the Dominion of Canada, the con-
slant intercourse between the peoples
on either side of the imaginary line
and the great similarity in the living
conditions, a tendency toward the
creation of a great nation of which tbs
United States and Canada are now the
parts. The Post can see ten new
States and reserve territory enough to
make twenty more. a coalition, by
treaty, with England and a lot OF
other things equally interesting.
Says the Post:
Today Canada is as loyal to the
British crown as was Virginia
when Washington went with
Braddock to defeat, or Massachu-
sets when her quota helped to
gain the victory of Cape Breton:
but whenever Canada shall ex-
press the wish to be a part of the
United States Great Britain will
say, God speed you"
1t sounds too good to be true and
probably isn't true. 1t may be that in
future years some such thing will oc-
cur, but if the Post means to convey
the idea that no more time will elapse
between the present and the establish
ment of the new nation than elapsed
between Braddock's defeat and Bunker
Hill, we hold the opinion that it is
over enthusiastic. We have a large
number of Canadians in Maine, some
of French ancestry, some of Scotch,
some of English, all as good citizens as
though their ancestors had happened
to land west of PASSPORT instead of
east of that point. They know the
value of our institutions and in many
instances cherish them more than do
those who have always lived here.
There is nothing against the coalition
except the present governmental or
ganiZation of the Dominion whereby
England exercises more or less
intangible parental influence. The
Canadian comes as near to governing
himself as any nation can and not do
it. If Canada wants to join our pro-
cession, We'll make her welcome and
lend her all the flags she thinks she
will need.

Mirth in the Commons.

little parliamentary hit. Did it mean
safety for" or safety from the Ia
dies? asked &c. b." And he played
around it with great humor for little
while But nothing is to be done, and
the practice of the harem, so far as Sc
clusicn is concerned, is still to be i'm

of Commons. One would have hoped
that with such an advanced majority
this anachronism might have been
swept away, but the prime minister
specifically refused Mr.. Norman's re-

members had not yet had an oppor-

Can get hold of punkin

We can't buy no chicken,
We can't buy no wood

All except our spirits,
And Thanksgivin' nigh.
Every year it's this way,
The worlds to the bad!
Not a thing is left us
For to make us glad.
They cut off our turkey,
Spoil our punkin pie.
Send all prices soarin'
Away up high.
Till long near Thanksgivin'
We are feelin' glum.
Don't know how We'll fix it.
Wish it wouldn't come.
Workin' men are bumpin'
Down the doleful bumps,
EverybOdy'S grouchin'
Like they had the mumps
Then here comes Thanksgivin'!

Are a yearly bluff
Just to make us thankful;
