can accomplish is the life of Owen
Kildare, the author He was thirty
years old before he could read or
write but by knowing his Mamie
Rose as he calls her he became a man
of note. Owen Kildare was one of a
rough gang in the New York Bowery
He was prize fighter and the leader
of his class. His life was changed as
if by a miracle as he himself says. He
and a gang of roughs were congre-
gated in one of the streets frequented
by such men one night when a lady
went by. One OF the men rudely
brushed against her. Kildare avenged
her by laying the offender fiat and
then accompanied the girl to her
home, That night the old doors
closed behind me- and he began to
feel his life changed by this wonder
full parsonage. She taught him to
read. She gave him new world and
eight years from that eventful night
owen Kildare was earning his living
by his pen.
1t is safe to say that almost no
man ever attained greatness but, in
the ladder of fame, his way
had been made brighter by the kind
and judicious counsel of some good
woman.

mans Counsel.

Who OF US is willing to say that
some woman has not been one of the
greatest sources of help in his life
How many of us cannot remember
sometime in our lives that the intiu-
ence of some woman has turned into
success what would otherwise have
been failure? What do the lives OF
great men show us in regard to the
influence of a good woman over their
lives?
Shakespeare, the highest star in
literature is a fine example of this
source of help. Elbert Hubbard in
his book, The Man" gives US a
unique history of the life of Shake
speare Harriette, an Italian lady,
was the woman who played the won
derful part in this mans life. She
was his light, his inspiration. She
was the motor part of his faculties.
AS Hubbard puts it, Shakespeare s
only teacher was nature, his only
need was freedom. Who gave him this
"a woman" No writer in history
has given such prominence or pro
trayed her womanhood so truthfully
as Shakespeare. DO we doubt that
Shakespeare knew the power of a
good woman when we see Portia in
the Merchant of Venice, also lady
Macbeth. Cecilia and nearly all of his
lady characters? Perhaps in study
ing Lady Macbeth we see the per
sonality and leading traits of Har-
riette, for Harriette planned the play.
1t would not do for us to say to
what extent woman influenced Mark
Twain, the great humorist, but Mark
says himself in one of his books that
while on his way across the ocean he
met a lady whom he fell in love with
and asked her fathers consent to his
paying attention to her. He was re-
fused because of his position. Mark,
though rebuffed still wanted the girl and
made up his mind that he would show
the old man what he could do. There
by he was inspired to write and on
account of the merit of his work ne
now came into favor with the head
of the family.
We will not say that the life of
Benjamin Franklin was shaped by the
influence of woman but we like to
think of the little story of Mr.. Frank
lin going down the streets of Phila-
delphia with the two loayes of bread
under his arms and Deborah Reed
4 t,, thn ln ph q
him. Surely she must at that time
have made a favorable impression
upon him for he afterward married
her and later in life he said, God
bless all good women who help men
to do their work"

ST ALbANS To HAVE NEW
TOWN HALL
Gift Announced at a Town Meeting
Called to Consider What Could Be
Done.

! About two weeks ago. the st. Albans
town hall burned to the ground with
out insurance. 1t was a most com
modious and beautiful hall and haC
been remodelled from the old towr
hall. built about seventy years ago
The expense of remodeling was $250C
to which the citizens subsequently
added from $500 to $1,000 more. They
were very proud of it for it had &
ene set of scenery and a piano.
Within a week a petition was circu-
lated calling for a town meeting tC
discuss the loss and its replacement
1t was signed by the sufficient mum
| Der and town meeting was held, IN
the school house, Saturday, Novem
ber IL.
Throughout the town desire was
very generally expressed that a town
hall equal to the other should be bull
and, yet, there was feeling that the
expense would be burdensome anC
that in some respects more than the
town could bear However, they de.
cded to meet and talk it over in q
businesslike and friendly spirit and
see If there were any way by which
their great loss could be made good
in way that the taxpayers could rea-
sonably stand. Wh9t the outcome o1
the meeting would be no one could
predict
The moderator of the meeting was
w. O. Hilton. Mr. Hilton called the
meeting to order and said that while
perhaps, it was little unusual for
the moderator to make any extended
remarks yet he would trespass upon
their patience, for a few moments. He
had never had the opportunity to pre-
side before, at a town meeting when
he felt so comfortable in his position
and so satisfied with himself for he
had just come from the office of Hon
D. D. Stewart of St. Albans, who had
requested him to announce, in his be-
half, that if the town meeting would
voted to build town hail. to cost
$4,000 and would elect a committee
which he would name. he himself
would pay for the building, when 1t
was completed.
1t is needless to say that the an
nouncement created great enthusiasm
and that the vote was taken and that
the committee, suggested by Mr.. Stew
ing and W. H. Watson, was appoint
ed to build the building.
S. H. Goodwin then arose and moved
that a committee be appointed to call
upon d. d. Stewart, thank him for
the gift, in behalf of the people and
express to him the hope that he would
live long to enjoy the same.
The committee. consisting of S. H.
Goodwin, w. o. Hilton, and c. j.
Worthing, at once, visited Squire
Stewart conveying the vote of thanks
of the citizens and while there dis
cussed the terms of the gift and the
cost of a building. Meanwhile, the
committee will get busy and st. AL
bans will have another hall and opera
house as good if not better than the
old.

A Liberal Offer
We Guarantee to Cure Dyspepsia
If We Fail The Medicine
Costs Nothing

To unquestionably prove to the
people that indigestion and dyspepsia
can be permanently relieved and that
ReXall Dyspepsia Tablets will bring
about this result We will furnish the
medicine absolutely free if it fails to
give satisfaction to any one using it.
The remarkable success of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is due to the high
degree of scientific skill used in de-
vising their formula as well as to
the care exercised in their manufae-
ture, whereby the well known prop
critics of Bismuth-Subnitrate and Pep
sin have been combined with Carmi-
natives and other agents
Bismuth- -Subnitrate and Pepsin are
constantly employed and recognized
the entire medical profession as in
valuable in the treatment of indiges-
ton and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspep-
sia Tablets is prepared by a process
which develops its greatest efficiency
Pepsin supplies to the digestive ap-
paratus one of the most important ele-
ments of the digestive fluid, and with
out it the digestion and assimilation
of food are impossible.
The carminatiyes possess properties
which aid in relieving the disturbanc-
es and pain caused by undigested
ood. This perfect combination OF
these ingredients makes a remedy in
valuable for the complete relief of in
digestion and dyspepsia.
We are 50 certain of this that we
urge you to try Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets on our own personal guar

By electing to still make his home
within the Thomaston Me, peniten-
tiary. after he has been granted an
unconditional pardon by Governor
Fernald, John G. Farr for = years
known as convict No. 2516 has estab-
lished a record unparalleled in States
prison records.
Recently when the iron-barred gates
swung to permit the now bent and
somewhat enfeebled old prisoner to
go forth free man, Farr shufIled for
ward lifted up his head. glanced at
the blue sky and the outside world
for moment and then with silent
ambling steps turned and walked back
to his cell.
Turned Away from Liberty.
Neither the pungent smell of the out
side world nor the lure of the azure
open were able to conquer the old
mans ingrained love for the prison
where he has lived so long that it
has become his home in both name
and in fact.
For 30 years it is declared that this
strange prisoner has gone about his
tasks in the prison waiting only the
great day when the prison gates
should swing open for him
Seldom in the Maine penitentiary
has there lived prisoner whose life
has been one so exemplary in con-
duct as has Farr's, and that because
such conduct might mean freedom, as
the old man himself will explain.
Recently the great day arrived. The
old man himself played an earnest
part in the plea that was presented to
the Governor by the warden the pris-
on staff and many others who had
long ago learned to respect No. 2516.
This morning dawned when free
dom in the shape of a pardon signed
by His Excellency was handed to the
warden and then placed in the tremb-
ling and eager hands of John Farr

POPULAR METHODS
Of SUICIDE
Monday Preferred For
Self Destruction
Ii You Want to Keep Man From
Suicide Make Him Talk.

II today you were forced to COM
you would choose? If you were oblig-
ed to answer the question at once you
would say Il don't know" The final
answer to the question would largely
depend upon your natural tempera-
ment. Professor Merselli of Turin
University tells us that drunkards are
very apt to choose hanging. If a
man becomes respondent ON account
of domestic troubles he is quite likely
to choose drowning if he thinks of
committing suicide. The suicides of
very quiet temperament usually take
to drowning. Jealous people in com
mitting suicide will invariably resort
to the revolver or poison,
There have been people who have
worked and planned for years in in
stituting some new device by which
to commit suicide. A man a few
years ago invented a new guillotine
device with which to take his life.
Another man arranged sword above
a door that by pulling string would
fall and cut the mans throat. Not
lohg ago a young lady collected Il
,afge amount of flowers, placed them
in her room and went TO bed The
next morning she was found dead. She
understood physiology and chemistry
sufficiently to adapt them to fatal ends.
4 New York girl a few years ago had
been reading in a newspaper, the re-
port of the suicide of two girls and
to initiate them drank quarter OF a
pint of red ink She did not betray
herself until she was in convulsions
then she acknowledged she wanted TO
die In her imitation she even went to
the extent of making a Will.
There are about three times as
many men who commit suicide as wo-
men. Why is this? 1t is almost uni
Nersally considered that a man can
npt endure so much pain and trouble
as a woman. There is also another
act that man has more complications
n the way of business which bring
ON dependency.
The most popular ages for commit
ting suicide are those between thirty
and forty. AS a rule a pe. son is
either a success or failure between
these ages; at this time his business
cares worry him most and his mind
5 most easily affected.
The most popular day on which TO
commit suicide seems to be Monday
The only way that this can be ac-
counted for is that people have over
aaten or abused themselves on sat
drday night or Sunday have probably
spent nearly all their weeks wages
nd ndulged more or less in family
luarrels and, becoming despondent.
10 not have the courage to start in
mother weeks work.
There are fewer suicides on Thurs
day than on any other day in the
week. People begin to look for the
end of the week, for pay day and for
the good time they are anticipating
or Saturday night and Sunday and
hey lay aside their cares for the
lime
The most popular time in the day
FOR people to commit suicide has
been from nine O'Clock in the evening
until midnight If you have friend
chat is of a respondent nature and
YOU feel that he ought TO be watched

that are most likely to commit sui
