VOICES OF THE PRESS.
The Hamlins Of Maine.
(Bosten Transcript

Mention of President Lincoln brings
to the minds of those who knew him
that fine old statesman, Hannibal
Hamlin Of Maine, who was vice pres
ident in his first administration, ant
one OF the most picturesque figures OF
picturesque period, and who alst
was born in 1909. He was among the
last of those to wear the pigeon tail''
coat, which came into style for profess
sionaI men when the fancy coats with
their ornate buttons, the small clothes,
the ruffled shirts and the powdered
hair that We're in vogue In the latter
half Of the 18th and 10Th centuries,
were laid aside.
Mr.. 1iamlin might have had Indian
blood in him, so like was he to the
men Of that race. While not OF col
ossal height, he gave one the impress
sion OF being very tall, his deep-set
eyes cleaned behind beetling brows
his nose was prominent, his lips thin
and firmly shut, and his whole bear
ing Indicated severity, but, on the con~
trary, he was one Of the tenderest and
gentleSt of men.
There are three sons of Mr.. Hamli:l
still HVlnS-CharleS, Hannibal ana
Frank IIamlin. Charles, who is the
child Of his first wife, is lawyer By
profession, a veteran soldier and is
passing his old age-he is now 72-at
his home in Bangor Hannibal Hamlin
the eldest son by his second wife, who
was a daughter of Judge Stephen En-
cry, o1c-time attorney general of the
Pine Tree State, is a resident OF
Ellsworth aid junior member of the
law firm OF Hale & Hamlin of which
Senator Hale is the head; Judge Ham
lin has just finished his term as atror-
ney general Of the state. and previous
~ from 1897 to 1901 was it, judge adj
Vocate. He has also served IN both
houses of the Legislature and on the
staff Of both Gov. Powers and Gov.
Hill. His brother Frank, likewise q
lawyer, practices in Chicago.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST
The Awful Toll Collected by Con.
sumption.

If people could only understand that
Catarrh is an internal scrofula-that
nothing applied externally does much
good-they would not need to be warm
ed so often about this fatal disease.
which, when neglected, invariably ends
up in Consumption, at the cost of mil
lions of lives every year. Yet Catarrh
is easily cured if the right treatment
is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in tho
blood which circulate throughout the
entire system. External remedies give
but temporary ease. Although the ef-
fects arc often seen in the form OF
pinples, rash, eczema or dry scaly
skin, the trouble is internal, and can
never be cured by external remedies.
The only way to cure Catarrh is by
employing a medicine which is absorb
ed and carried by the blood to all parts
of the system, SO that the mucous
membrane or internal lining of the
body is thoroughly indicated, soothed,
disinfected Of germ matter, and the
soreness healed.
We have remedy prepared from the
prescription of a physician who for
thirty years studied and made Catarrh
a speciality and whose record of sue
cess was a cure in every case where
his treatment was followed as prescrib-
ed. That remedy is Rexall MucuTone.
We are so positive that it will cure
Catarrh in all it's various forms.
whether acute or chronic, that we
promise to return every penny paid us
for the medicine in every case where 1t
fails to cure or for any reason does
not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rexall
Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes.
The prices are SOC and 81. Very often
the SOC size effects a cure. OF course
in chronic cases a. longer treatment is
necessary. The average in such in
stances is three $1OO bottles. John

are all drilled according to the regu-

such a body could be PICKED some ex-
Cellent officers for commanding vol
unteer troops while as prfvateS the

ahead in their drilling and tactics of

in the field. That the United States
war department apprecia ties this fact
is shown by its sending special Off
GERS to the national encampment OF
the Knights in Boston last summer
to watch them in camp. They reported
that the appearance. conduct and
training of the men was in favorable
comparison with the work done by
companies of the National Guard.

view Publishing Company.
In this book the author takes up the
work of the national monetary COM
mission appointed by Congress and
discusses the means of providing a
permanent safeguard against money
stringencies and panics. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that Mr.. Morawetz is
one of the best authorities in the
country on these questions, having
both breadth of knowledge and depth
OF insight regarding the various in
tricacies of the question. Professor
Devons has stated that a sort of in
tellectual vertigo seems to attack all
men who wrestle with the question of
money. But, if this be the case in
most instances, Mr.. Morawetz appears
to be an exception to the rule for his
treatise on the banking and currency
problem which is of so great impor-
lance to the people Of this country is
characterized by clear and logical
thinking and sound conclusions. Mr.
Morawetz is a graduate of the Har-

corporations. He is a man who has
made a wide name for himself as an
author and Writer Of great cogency

a wreath and the names and date. On
one side is q picture of Abraham Lin

Lincoln, 1860, surrounding it. On the

Hamlin with name and date. Mrs.
Howatt remembers distinctly when
they we're issued and there were many
