PLEASANTLY REMEMBERED.
Birthday Postcard Shower for Maine
Girl in the South.

The following item was taken from
the Southern Pines Tourist, Il paper
published February % and Will be OF
interest to many Waterville people.
The Miss Burleigh referred to in the
article is a sister to j. II. Burlcigh of
this city:
Feminine birthdays, particularly
after one passes out of her teens and
to be anticipated with sucn unmiXed
pleasures as bv the dear young things
that haven't begun to think of-of-
well-things that are very harmless
and even beautiful when they come;
but the sensations of life are made up
almost us much of what we think or
hope for as of what really is.
But when ones birthday is marked
by the flying of the village flag. holt

just before this one is exclusive and
was the joy of which the Father of his
Country meyer knew. A sister up in
Maine remembered that Tuesday
would be Miss Burleighs birthday.
She mentioned it to another and sug-
gested sending postcard or a letter
to the far away friend in Dixie, and
so the word went around. The result
was about 200 cards and letters, timed
to reach Southern Pines in a shower.
A few friends here were let into the
secret and swelled the downpour. Now
it's great to have 200 friends-some
people would have hard work TO scare
up two--and it's a fine thing to hear
from them all at one time. Miss Bur-
leigh's collection has some handsome
prizes. Her first teacher was among

of friendship and every drop was pre-

vigilant officials of the immigration service.
 Mir. J. c. Forrest, of Prescott, as- sistant United States attorney, ap- peared for the government, and the accused was represented by M. Marsteller Esq.
 The defendant was made wit ness and he stated that he had come from Tucson to cook on the work train for the railroad. He had gone out with the man he re- lieved, a white man named Lee, to look about the town. He did not know that the town was partly in Mexico. They walked over to the plaza on the Sonora side, went to the market, bought som fruit and returned. He was stopped, arrested and thrown in iail. Lee was called as a witness and recited the same story. Some of the immigration officers testified to the arrest and detention of the f accused.
 Mir. Forrest, the legal representa- tive of the government then moved the dismissal of the case and dis charge of the accused. While the prisoner was technically within the prohibition of return to the United States, it was plain that he had not had an intent to leave the country, and the government had no desire to work injustice and hardship by insisting upon tech nicalities. For which reason Mir. Forrest moved dismissal of the case and discharge of the prisoner, which was ordered, and the celes tial went his way rejoicing.

He Relies For Freedom.
 Pres ident G0mpersS in his report to the tVv enty.ninth ann ual convention of the A merlcan FederatiOn of Labor among other things said;
 Tn this labor moN- emept we gather as the representativ and by direction of our organized feI low workers. and it is upon the labor nnoyement that the tOierS and the loveI.s of human free dom have set their hearts and hopes. They realize that the trades union movement of Amerl ca is the historic ally developed potential force which bears the brunt and scars of battle and which makes sacrifces for right and justice for all for all time. There is not a wrong aga inst which we fail to protest or seek to remedy; there is not a right to which any of our fel- lows are entitled which it is not our duty, mission and work and struggle to attain. So long as there shall re- main a wrong unrishted or d right de- nied there will be ample work for the labor movement to do. The struggle through the ages has always been at- tended with bruta II tyranny and cruel inju s tice Some h ave always had to suffer that the D eople might obtain some modicum of Freedom. The times in which we now i've are no exception to that rule. They are true to their fellOw WIS., true to emseles, cannot and dare not eyade the duties and respon- sibilities which m =ay come from their advocacy of the ca use of the people.
 'Tyramy, exercised by no matter whom or from w hat sOlrce, must be resisted at all h azarls The labor movement, which is the defender. pro- tectOr and prOmOGer of the rights and interests of the People must be car ried forward, it's rapacious, ignorant opponents to tn he contrary notwith- sta nding We should not and we must not surrender the rights which we have achieved for the tOers.

How to Travel Without Fatigue.

The secret of travelling without ia. tigue is to abandon thoughts of ab,dse- Inent and to conserve the energies. Do not let your nerves get the upper hand of you. Refrain as much as possible from conversation, for in the noise of travel talking soon becomes tiring. Avoid reading, for the use of the eyes while the train is in notion seems to induce sick headaches and nausea. All this seems to say that you will have an uninteresting and tiresome journeg
 but if your trip is short one isn't this worth while if you can reach your destination bright eyed and with all
 undaunted spirit, ready to enter gayly into anything that is expected of you?

DISFIGURlNG SCARS.
How to Prevent Them After Being
 Burned or Wounded.


 Scars are mainly the result of care. less treatment, and once formed there are no instructions to be given to the amateur for their removal. A good surgeon will be able at least to restore a moderate amount of sightliness, even though he cannot wholly eradicate the scar. But when a wound has been re- ceived, if it is likely to leave a scar and one cannot strictly adhere to all given rules and advice, it should at once be put under the care of skillful sur geon. If he is all that is desired, there will be scarcely a mark to tell Of the accident unless the wound is unusual ly deep. Care must be taken not to draw the edges of the surrounding ts- sues out of shape. When the wound is dressed it positively must be bathed and the raw and bleeding edges should be cleansed from all particles of dust and dirt or any foreign matter, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 The reason that oily and creamy remedies are used is that any appllca' tiOn that is of a greasy nature soothes the surrounding tender cuticle. Masks and bandages exclude the air and pro- tect the wound from drying too quick ly. If this should happen, it may be noticed that the skin becomes dry and shriveled, surely resulting in a scar, however small. If the skin is kept soft and elastic it stands to reason that these disfguring contractions will to a certain extent lose something Of their tension and in that way become less noticeable. Even after the wound has apparently healed and all band' ages may be removed soothing To- tion should be used quite frequently, about three or four times daily, and ,>lentifully at night, especially if the Unfortunate one has received burns upon the face, arms or hands, because upon the exposed parts of the body the scar would be more noticeable and unsightly.
 A lotion whic h is very soothing and may be used for such purpose is com- posed of four ounces of filtered rain water or rosew ater and one dram Of rectifed spirits, one dram of tannin and two drams of glycerin. Agitate thoroughly and apply One will be thoroughly rewarded for patience and persistence in using these appca- tions, especially after a severe burn, as then the tissues will have been deprived of their fatty substance by the extreme heat and will need nour- iShmant
