State convention and having Col.
Plaisted nominated in his stead. This
is the same kind of a play worked
upon Hon S. w. Gould when Davis
and his cohorts defeated him in his
second running for the nomination for
governor 1t was a bitter fight which
Gardner put up but he was fighting
against pretty astute politician
when he tackled William Pattangall.
the former editor of the Maine Demo-
crat Pattangall was out for blood
Gardner blood, and he drew ii. They
said 1t was a very harmonious meet
ing. Undoubtedly 1t was on the sur
face. but there WAS an undercurrent
which means disaster and defeat to
the Maine Democracy this fall.
If there is any one thing which the
people of Maine dislike above another
it is a one-man dictation, and that Is
precisely what Mr.. Pattangall has
handed out to the Maine Democracy.
He started out months ago to defeat
Mr. Gardner He has travelled up and
down the State whispering his dulcet
tones into the ears of his Democratic
friends. The consequence Is the ut
ter routing of Gardner and the nom
ination of Plaisted That was one
man dictation, something the Demo
cratic party of Maine is supposed to
abhor above all other things.
But in his personal victory Mr.. Pat
tangall has killed the hopes of the
Maine Democracy. With Gardner to
draw the farmer vote there was a fair
possibility of winning, but with
Plaisted, who is nothing but a politi-
cian-and a professional politician
there isn't a ghost of show. But
MIR. Pattangall hasn't been a Demo
crat 50 long that he has any natural
love for the principles of Jefferson
and because of this fact he had no
scruples whatever about projecting
his own personal wishes into the
campaign and destroying the fair
prospects of victory for the party.
Possibly the Democrats can stand this
sort of thing; history will show that
the Republicans couldn't.

Correction.

In an item recently in this paper
the firm Ira w. Page, Jr., was re-
ferred to as Page & Son, which was
incorrect. Knowing the history OF
how Ira w. Page, Jr.. has built up
this large business from a small be-
ginning by his persistent hard labors
it is only natural that he should now
want all references to it to be stated
under its proper firm name.

DEATH OF MOSES A PARKER.
An Illness Covering Nearly Seven
Years Terminates June Is.

Moses A Parker passed away on
Saturday afternoon last. June IS,
shortly after the noon hour, the d.
rect cause of his death being apo
plexy. by which he was stricken near
ly seven years since in Chicago, Ill,
In which city he had been engaged In
business for more than year pre-
yious.
BY the shock he experienced at that
time his entire right side was af-
fected. and while at first his condi-
ton improved, yet he never regained
the use of the arm or leg to any ap-
preciable extent.
During the long illness that follow
ed he has been nursed and tenderly
cared for by a wifely devotion priv
LEGGED to but few inyalids, the patient
meanwhile bearing the misfortune
bravely with rare fortitude and hope.
A member of all our Masonic
bodies, his Illness was made brighter
by their many acts of brotherly love,
while the thoughtfulness of loving
friends and neighbors can but be
cherished fondly by the widow.
Services were held at the home on
High street Wednesday morning at IL
o'clock attended by Rev. George Mer-
riam and the interment was In the
family lot in the South Side ceme-
terry.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When Baby.

II parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains drug-Cdfeine- which is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
When l was a child In my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips OF coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals |
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
"And so I contracted the coffee
habit early. / remember when quite
young the continual use OF coffee SO
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground It In the cotfee-mill, as sub
stitute for coffee.
But 1t did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. Thar was
long before Postum was ever heard
of. l continued to use coffee until l
was 27, and when l got into Office
work, l began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast l was so
nervous l could scarcely attend to my
correspondence.
"At night, after having coffee for
supper could hardly sleep, and on
rising In the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try
Postum. My wife and l did not like
It at first, but later when boiled good
and strong It was fine. Now we would
not give up Postum for the best coffee
we ever tasted.

With sudden decision she stepped
into the road and began picking her
way gingerly along the edge. When
she reached the opening in the woods
where the path began she heaved an
immense sigh of relief, but without

reached the bank of the river. There
she sank down on the log to which
her small canoe was moored. threw

"Phew" she said. Il don't believe
I'd do that again..

her as she slipped past. Just why
she had thought Of him till late In
the night and dreamed of him till
dawn she had failed to determine,
Nor was her chance to discover what
compelling characteristics lurked in
his silent personality. She hesitated,
making sure of his absolute uncon-
sciousness. At last she turned her
canoe toward him, propelled 1t slow
ly, carefully, till its bow ran noise
lessly into the soft mud of the bank.

leaned forward, eagerly, to inspect
undisturbed this sleeping young
prince of the woods. What a ply
sique!-what features what an abb
solutely ideal type for the hero Of a
sylvan adventure, little love idyll,
