BELLE CLEMENTS CASWELL,
1s60-l910.

The announcement of the death OF
of Mrs. Belle Clements, wife of New
ton II. Caswell on Thursday morning
December 20, came as a great shock
to her many friends. Although Mrs
Caswell had been ill for a few weeks
neither her family nor attending ply
stefan considered her condition seri
Gus.
The funeral services were held on
New Years. Sunday afternoon, at 2
O'Clock at the home on West Front
street. and were largely attended.
Rev. George Merriam, pastor of the
Bethany Baptist church o0iciated.
Mrs Caswell was the daughter of
Phineas and Cynthia Clements and
was born in Waldo, Me-, in May,
1860. In her early girlhood she came
to Waterville and later moved to
Norridgewock where she met Mr. Cas-
well to whom she was married May
18, 1887 A few years later Mr.. and
Mrs. Caswell moved to Skowhegan
which has since been their home. Be-
sides the husband, Newton H. Cas-
well and daughter, Miss Annie Mabel
Mrs. Caswell is survived by two sis
ters, Mrs. Amelia Roberts of Wor-
cester, Mass. and Miss Harriet Gle
ments of Rockland, and one brother
Fred Clements of Belfast
In her girlhood days Mrs. Caswell
became a Christian and while in Wa
teryille she became a member of the
Baptist church of which VIM II
Spencer D. d.. was pastor. She was
a constituent member of the Bethany
Baptist church. also a member of the
Helen Coburn Missionary Circle of
Bethany and a charter member of the
Bethany Y. P. S. c. E., and for a
number of years and at the time of
her death was its efficient and faith
full corresponding secretary For a
number of years Mrs. Caswell has
worn with loyalty and pleasure the
little white bow which is the badge
of the w. C. T. U. The w. c.. T.
U. Sewing school was the depart
ment of temperance work which was
the delight of Mrs. Caswell's heart
and only those associated with her in
that work really know her efficiency
there and can appreciate what her
loss will be to the school
Mrs. Caswell was also a member
of the Skowhegan Grange and of the
Town improvement Society. In Mrs.
Caswell's death all of these societies
of which she was an energetic and
worthy member, have suffered a
great loss but by her neighbors and
close friends to whom she has so Of
ten extended helping hand and
cheerful word will the loss be more
keenly felt, but most of all will she
be missed in the home where she has
so lovingly and hopefully performed
the duties of wife and mother and
where she went ITO sleep with Gods
peace upon her"
There were in attendance at the
funeral Mrs. Caswell's sister and
niece, MS, Amelia Roberts and Mrs.
Fred P. Dean of Worcester Mass !;
another sister, Miss Harriet Clements
of Rockland, Me-; DR.. and Mrs. Guy
A. Smith of Wateryille. Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Yeaton, Mr. and Mrs .
Harry Yeaton of Starks, cousins of

ORIGIN OF AN EXPRESSION.
"If This Court knows Herself, and
She Thinks She Do"

"If This Court Knows Herself, and
She Thinks She Do"
We frequently hear the expression.
IF the court knows itself, and it
thinks 1t does" but few persons are
aware of the origin thereof.
The Individual who gave birth to It
was Pike county Mlssourian named
Blackburn, who fourished In the west
many years ago. Blackburn ran away
from home when he was mere boy
and sought his fortune In the west,
where he grew to manhood as an In.
dian fighter. hunter, trapper and
mountain guide. Although not an ed.
ucated man. he was possessed of great
acuEen, to which was united keen
wit. When gold was discovered in
ali:ornia, Blackburn was one Of the
first to proceed thither. The miners
as a sort Of joke elected him alcalde,
an office that combined the duties Of
mayor and justice Of the peace. The
first case coming before the new al
calde was that of gambler who while
drunk had ridden his horse over a
young Mexican woman. She was seri
onsly injured.
lhe trial took place in the largest
cabin in the neighborhood. The gam
bier, who was rich, had retained able
counsel to defe I'd him. Alcade Black
burn called the young woman to the
witness stand. She told straight.

finished the alcalde peremptorily end

PENDANT protested vigorously. but the
alcalde disposed Of his protest thus:
III this court knows herself. and she
thinks she do, fine you $500 damages
and assess upon you the cost Of putin

When asked what he meant by
good condition. the alcalde replied
that the gambler must pay the doctors

TIL: SNUFF EVIL.

Sucakinc OF the snuff evil, the toll
,,,;,o from Professor Laid OF the
state pure food department Is espe-
cially interesting i'll connecting Will
the LaAloure bill that has passed Inc
senate and is now before the house 1or
consideration:
III we are to believe the statements
made by many parents, by TRENDS Oh
the victims, and confirmed by some OF
the most reputable physicians, then we
shall have to admit that the use OF
snuff. as now practiced, is one OF the
worst evils OF our time. My own Oh
seryations and studies bear out III a
large measure the truth OF tins asser-
ton. The use of snuff for chewing is
RAPIDLY increasing. Often | have been
asked whether or not this product IS
'doped'; if it contains cocaine or some
opium product. Physicians have asked
the same question, but ii cocaine were
present it would be a difficult matter
to demonstrate it. Even though CO.
caine be knowingly added to the prod
uct, it is not possible to again isolate
the same, since there are no well
known tests for cocaine, as there are
for many other alkaloids. The cocaine
must be separated from all other aka
loids. including the nicotine i'll the to-
bacco. and then physiological test
made by putting it in the eye or on the
tongue. Again. if cocaine were present
such a minute quantity would be lost
in methods OF separation until it would
be practically impossible to find it."
10 encourage it, use, someone Is
sending samples. mailing them freely
to our people The writer, himself,
has received no less than .hree samples
during the past summer Dealers say
that the use OF snuff is rapidly on the
increase that its use has increased
more than 100 per cent in from three
to FIVE years; and where but few
years ago none was sold. today it is
one of the staple products. 1t seems
to have first come into use through the
foreign population and has spread I'M
til its use is common among all classes
of people, especially the working peo-
pie. young men and boys, and particu-
larry among lumberjacks and transient
laborers, who undoubtedly are the ones
most responsible for its general use
among young men and boys. 1t is said
that when one becomes addicted to the
use Of snuff. or has taken it for a
short time. it is almost impossible to
break away from the habit"
In order that ! might get the best
information possible on this subject
letter was sent to a large number OF
physicians asking for information as
the result Of their observation and
studies. The general consensus of
opinion among nearly all the physicians
is that the habit of snuff chewing is a
serious one; that it is developing symp-
toms and conditions that are deplor-
able among those who fall! victims to
its use.
