Woodstock is retaining century-old
park which had long since gone into
weeds and disuse. Aside from the sur
prise afforded by the information that
handsome Woodstock has been so slack
in maintaining its whole beauty, the
news is very pleasing. As place which
is constantly bidding for visitors from
the large cities, Woodstock has general
ly been careful of it's looks; and this
latest move shows that it is still care
ful-though dilatory in this particular
instance. When Barre gets hold of the
common in the Gospel village neigh
borhoodif such an event shall ever be
eonsummated there will be splendid
chance to add to the beauties of this
city.

"YEs, I'm A GREAT AUTHOR"
Resde, Balzac and Sue Pulled Their
Own Works as Beira Fine
Literature

Authors in 'the good old days" were
not above writing their own puffs, a
writer in the Bohemian says, Charles
Reade wrote long article on himself
for Once Week, in which he said:
1T is impossible to speak too high
ly OF The Cloister and the Hearth
1t is one Of the most scholarlike and
learned as we'll as one of the NOT
artistic and beautiful works of fiction
in any language Read him. Resign
yourself to the magic spell of his ge-
MUS. The effect of Foul Play is
perfectly marvellous 1t leaves the
stories of every other sensational writ
er far behind"
Nor was Balzac in France above
praising his own works. IF you have
not been born a story teller" he wrote
in a review, you will never obtain
the popularity o. M. de Balzac And
what a story teller! What nerve and
wit! How the world is dissected by
this man! What passion and cool
ness!"
But the height of literary advertise
ment in the first half Of the last cen
fury was reached in the case of Eu-
gene Sues famous novel, The Wan
dering Jew" Every little while the
daily installment in the newspaper in
which it was appearing would be
missing, and in it's place would be an
announcement that M. Sue was suffer
ing from a slight indisposition and
readers would be Obliged to wait 48
hours for new developments OF the
narrative. And all the while Sue
himself was industriously abetting the
publishers by posing overdressed and
with spurs in his boots at the Cafe
de Paris in an attitude of deepest alb
straction, as if wondering what the
next installment would be about"

He snored into Safety

Wilkesbarre, Pa, is in the field with
this story: Michael Benner of Plains
owes his life to the fact that he can
snore loud enough to be heard some
distance away. Early one morning Pc
liceman Schneider of North Wilkes
barre heard shores coming from the
direction of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road tracks, and fearing that some
one might be asleep on the tracks,
and knowing that an express train
was about due, he investigated. Guild
ed by the snoring he came upon Ben
ner asleep, just in time to pull him
from the track before the train thun-
dered by. Benner can thank his snore
for saving his life, and Wilkesbarre
can congratulate herself that she has
a policeman who knows a snore when
he hears IL.

How oyster Islands Are Formed.

Oyster islands, similar to those
formed of coral, are found in several
parts of the world. The islands in
Newport river and Beaufort Harbor,
North Carolina, says a writer in the
Century Path Magazine, have been
discovered to have as base a reef to
which the spawn were attached and
above this layer upon layer of oysters,
vegetable growth, and debris brought
by the action of the waves and winds,
all of which finally grows high enough
to rise above the surface of the water
This growth is exactly analogous to
that of the coral islands of the Pa
cific.
The islands near the mouth of the
River Tagus in Portugal are said to
have been built up in this way also.
Here, where there is such a quantity
of oysters that 100 million a year
would scarcely be missed if they were
removed, the expanse of water just
beyond the rivers mouth is dotted
with oyster islands AS in the case of
the coral reefs, which on the seaward
side may be covered with living, grow
ing coral, live oysters thrive in the
same waters where the accumulation
of dead generations has served to
form the islands.

EDUCATED PORK WAS GOOD

Reuben, much advertised educated

Gus, which was showing in this city

dispatch to the New York Tribune. His
fate was kept secret for a week, for
more or less obvious reasons. Hal New
port, the clown of the circus, who ap-
peared nightly in the sawdust arena
with the pig said;
That pig could do anything but

camp at Terrace Park We had pork
chops for supper, and they were par
ticularly delicious. We were all eat
ing our heads off, when the property
man rushed in and cried that Reuben
had vanished.
He got mixed up with those pigs
that were sent from the stock yards,
he gasped.

the cook

Jurvon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
al other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
ord stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
correets constipation. in my opinion
consultation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels. which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
inc biliousness, Indigestion and impure
blood. which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who

Of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re.
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives,
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
inygorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it: they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

Is 1t possible to nourish, strengthen and Re
build the Brain by Food?
Every man who thinks uses up part of the
brain each day. Why don't it all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say month Of
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
If he builds a little less than he destroys,
brain flag and nervous prostration result sure.
If he builds back little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable That
also is sure. Where does man get the material
to rebuild his brain? Is it from air, sky or the
ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about it, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink.
That also is sure.
Are the brain rebuilding materials found in
all food? In a good variety but not in suitable
proportion in all.
To illustrate: we know bones are made large
ly of lime and magnesia taken from food;
therefore to make healthy bone structure We
must have food containing these things. We
would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make
healthy bone structure In a growing child
Likewise If we would feed in a skillful man
ner to insure getting what the brain requires
for strength and rebuilding, must first know
what the brain is composed Of and then select
some article or articles (there are more than
one) that contain these elements.
