The most beloved Of all things,
Sweet Liberty.
Then on this day as we rejoice in

valiant. faithful men,
Who in the Old State House at Phil

Made us removed by sword and

THE LOVE SONG

Sing tonight that pretty song
You sang whom first we met:
The words are ringing in my ear,
never can forget
How sweet your voice, the sympathy
That your notes expressed.
And when yOu finished she last line
your soft white hand pressed.
You tried to hide your blushes dep
But you failed and could see
By the kindling In your eyes
That. you, too, cared for me.
Tonight there seems no lapse Of years
Though twenty-five have flown
You are dearer now 10 me than then
My first, last. only one.
60 sing and play that song again
And my eyes I'll close
And see you as I Gid that night
Robed in blue, simple rose
Fastened in your chestnut hair,
It was by your'cheeks outvied,
So sing my darling Loves Young Dream
While sit by your aide.

MILF RID
ATTRACTIONS


An article In the North American
last Sunday sounds the praises Of
Milford as follows, and IL is all true.
Auto busses that carry vacation 90
iourners from Port Jervis to pictur.
esque Milford are taxed to their cs-
pacity, and the town Is filing with
summer visitors.
Milford has grown to be an unusu-
ally popular resort. The reasons for
this are obvious to any one who has
ever visited here. There are no mo-
squitoes, aud healthfulness is one of
the chief attractions.
The water is like crystal, and so
cool that Ice is seldom used. The
purest mountain springs supply the
reservoir.
The air is sweet and dry, and the
breezes that blow, no matter from
whence they come, are impregnated
with the odor Of pine and hemlock.
The nights are always cool, and
the sleeper is never rudely awak-
ened at early dawn by locomotive,
factory or steamboat whistle.
Milford is an up to-date town, sur.
rounded by mountains on three sides
and the picturesque Delaware river
is on the east. Forests and meadow
farm lands, magnificent water falls,
trout streams, precipitous rugged
cliffs, echoing ravines, mountain
lakes, wood roads and stone high
ways the joy Of the motorists, are
among the advantages.
The Delaware liver affords good
fishing. The lakes are well stocked
with pickereI and camping parties
enjoy the pleasures OF outdoor life on
their shores.
The Milford Field Club will opeT
its new clubhouse next week, Tenni,
croquet, quoits and bowling ar,
among the sports that 1t offers. Tour
naments of various kinds will b.
held later in the season.
The Yale Summer School Of For
estry meets early in July at it's CAM
on the Pinchot estate. The Home
stead Library is well stocked fo
summer reading. Milford places al
excellent uniformed baseball team il
the field each season.
Milford has an individuality all IL
own. II can be likeued to no othe
village in this country. Therein lie
much Of its charm. The French an,
Swiss inhabitants lend to it a pro
nounced foreign character. And VIII,
can prepare and serve dinner like
son Of the Alps or a grandson Of on
of Napoleon's soldiers?
The beautiful scenery, excellent a
commodations, healthfuIness and &C
cessibillty Of Milford give 1t hiRl
rank as a unique and charming Ie
sort.

LEG A MASS OF HUM0R

About seven years ago small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that l began to scratch it and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, I would have to scratch it until I had the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffer ing during those seven years. The pain, modification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply indescrib- able on paper and one has to expe- rience it to know what it is.
 T tried all kinds of doctors and rem edies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer. They would dry up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuti- cura Remedies a trial. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for little while l began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti- cura Resolvent, in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment, the trouble had entirely disap- peared and my leg was as fine as the day l was born. Now after lapse of six months with no signs of a recur- renee I feel perfectly safe in extend ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. w H. White, 312 E. Cabot St., Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 4 and Apr. 13, 1909"

SHOWED WHERE HIS MIND WAS
Uncle BiIlys Question Proved That Sick Horse Was Uppermost in
 His Thoughts.

William" said Aunt Ann Skiles to her husband. after the supper dishes had been cleared away, let's go and hear the lecture tonight" Uncle Billy had forgotten that there was lecture, and when he was reminded that re- turned missionary was going to tell all about India at the church he did not seem over-enthusiastic.
 "I oughtn't to go anywhere to- night!" grumbled Uncle Billy. "I ought to be doctoring my sick horse"
 Well, you're not doing it, and you're not likely to do it. Get ready and go"
 Uncle Billy meekly obeyed. He sat patiently through the lecture, which was both interesting and profitable. At the close of his discourse the re- turned missionary said:
 q will wait a few minutes now for the purpose of answering any ques- tions that interested persons in the audience may wish to ask"
 For half a minute nobody spoke. Then, to the horror of Aunt Ann and the astonishment of the congregation, Uncle Billy leaned forward and asked:
 What do they use in India to cure horses that have got the heaves ?"- Youths Companion.

Truth About Island Revealed

The mystery and glamor surround ing Tiburon island Gulf of Califor. nia, has been dissipated effectually through the return of seven Ameri- cans who explored the island, which they supposed to be inhabited by man. eating Seri Indians and to contain hidden treasure and rich mineral de- posits. The party was headed by Prof. Fayette A. Joss. They crossed to the island, established a perma- nent camp, and for five weeks prose cuted their explorations, finding no in dication of anything of value or of great interest. The island is 20 miles wide and 35 miles long and is of vol , canic origin. Good grass abounds and there is some running water. Il contains no human beings, but hun dreds of deer and myriads of wild pigeons. Inscriptions were found proving the visit there in 1857 of a rescue party in search of traces of the Grinnell exploring expedition, lost the year before.

ROCKY BOY INDIAN LANDS
 OPEN FOR SETTLEMENT.

Secretary Ballinger has issued in- structions to throw open 100000 acres of land in Eastern Montana to white settlers.
 This land was withdrawn about two years ago for the purpose of allotting to the Rocky Boy Indians. The tract contains the very choicest lands in Valley County and wherever farming has been carried on, it has produced yields of from 20 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre, 40 to 70 bushels of oats and large crops of hay, alfalfa and vegetables.
 There are over 5000 160-acre home steads in this tract, which is con siderable more than the combined total in the Flathead, Spokane and Occur d'Alene Reservations, which were opened to settlement last summer.
