Ohio Girl.

The following account of the mar
riage OF Howard l.. Maddocks. a
former Skowhegan resident, to Char
lotte Neal, of Newark, Ohio, is found
In the Newark American Tribune, and
will be read with interest:
At eight o'clock Wednesday even
ing in the presence of about 1875 rela-
tiyes and friends, the marriage cere-
mony OF Miss Charlotte Neal, young
er daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W.
Neal, and Mr.. Howard l. Maddocks,
was solemnized at the Neal home,
corner of West Church and Fifth
streets, the Rev. L. p. Franklin Of
floating.
The home was artstically decor
ated with flowers OF the season and
greenery. In the library where the
ceremony was performed, was an at
tractive bank of ferns and palms, in
terspersed with white hydfrangia,
and throughout the room these dec
orations were prominent, which, to-
gether with the beautiful gowns
worn by the ladies, made a pretty
picture.
During the evening a choice re-
lection was served the guests
throughout the rooms. The BRIDE
table, which was placed in the par
lor, looked beautiful with a huge
centerpiece of pink astors, southern
smilaX and asparagus, while dainty
green candles, carried out the color
scheme of green and white through
out the room. Pretty hand-panted
place cards seated the following at
this table: Mr.. and Mrs. Howard l.
Maddocks, Miss Jean Moore, Miss
Grace Fulton, Miss Mary Neal, Miss

HUNTING SEASONS PROSPECTS.
Col. B0othby Thinks Everything Is
Favorable for Big Game Season.

Col. F. f. Boothby of the passen-
ger department of the Maine Cen
trail is satisfied with the outlook for
the fall business in this state. He
looks forward with perfect conf
dence to the coming here of an
army of visitors from other states,
all more or less mighty hunters be-
fore the Lord, and all anxious to get
a shot at big game even il they do
not all hit the mark.
He believes that there are several
reasons all likely to make certain the
coming to Maine of the sportsmen
and those who hope to become such.
In the first place he is in communica-
ton with many late vacation takers,
that is, men who could get away from
their homes during the summer, but
who took perhaps a day off now and
then and came down to the sea-
shore perhaps to stay from Satur-
day evening until Sunday afternoon
or the like. That class will. he be-
lieves, be here in force, and he has
the strongest possible reasons for
holding SO because he is in touch
with men who are coming to Maine,
and with those who will receive and
entertain them.
He expects to see a largely in
creased number CT sportsmen for
another reason. They are used very
we'll in the camps and at all the
places within easy reach of the
game section of the state. A good
many will come down in his opinion
because they can get a good dinner
and have at least fair chance to
kill a buck. They may miss the
buck but they cannot we'll miss the
dinner.
Then be expects to see all the old
time sportsmen; The men who are
willing to rough 1t not only little
but if necessary a great deal and
who viii, be back to their familiar
hunting grounds.
Everything considered he holds
that the success of the hunting season
is assured in advance. The resorts
are losing their guests. but there are
many who have not yet taken their
vacation and who are thinking
longngly OF their coming good time
in the woods.
Col Boothby is not given to the
making of mistakes when 1t comes to
predicting a coming season whether
at the resorts or in the woods. He
is, perhaps, the best advertiser OF
Maine we have or, or for that mat
ter, ever had He is in touch, as
has been said, not only with the
keepers of places of entertainment in
the game section and with the
guides, but with very many of the
army OF sportsmen he believes will
soon be in Maine In his judgment
there are lively times ahead.

There are only two kinds of people

the shadow and gloom, and those
who live on the sunny side of the

sometimes called pessimists; some
times, people of melancholy temper
ament; sometimes they are called
disagreeable people; but. wherever
they go, their characteristic is this.
their shadow always travels on be-
fore them. These people never
bear their own burden, but expose
all their wounds to others. They are
all so busy looking down for pitfalls
and sharp stones and thorns on
which to step that they do not even
know that there are any stars in the
sky. These folks live on the wrong
side of the street. And yet 1t is only

gray hair to its natural color. While
hereditary badness is not disease,
and is rated as incurable, about 80 per
cent Of the bald people are victims of
seborrhea. This causes an excess of
dandruff, and is ainenable to treat
