bottle OF DR.. Howard's celebrated specific
for the cure Of constipation and dyspepsia
ct half price. In addition to this large
discount he agrees to return the money to
any purchaser whom the specific does not

It il quite unusual to be able to buy fifty

this offer really means, for 1t is only re-
Gently through the solicitation Of Drug

the sale has been something remarkable.
Any one who suffers with headache,

who Shall be the Nominee2

Hon. William r. eHaines formally
announces that he is candidate for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor next year. Doubtless there will
be other candidates, but none has so
emphatically announced himself as
has Mr.. Haines.
ssMy ambition to be governor OF my
native State" he writes, lis not yet
satisfied. l had strong support in
1908, and believe I have it yet, and
that if nominated, I can be elected"
Mr.. Haines was candidate for the
nomination in 1908, when after most
exciting canvass and convention, he
was defeated by Gov. FernaId, Mi.
Raines himself moving that the nomi-
nation be made by reclamation, his
action creating dramatic situation
which resulted in scene of enthu-
siasm, good feeling and party unity
seldom witnessed at political conven-
tions.
At that time THE AMERICAN re-
marked "The result Of it all was in
effect the nomination OF two candi-
dates for governor = Fernald now:
Haines four years hence. For with
the issue within the party -resubmis-
sion - dead and neatly buried, Mr..
Haines is the logical and inevitable
candidate in 1922
While the election Of 1910 didn't
work out exactly as was expected

1912 the same opportunity, and il the
feeling towards Mr.. Haines still exists

To the Editor Of The American:
Since my return to Washington yesterday
my attention has been called to an alleged
interview with me published in the Ohio
State Journal, and copied in o number Of
Maine newspapers, concerning the vote in
Maine constitutional prohibition in
September last
This alleged interview and the statements
therein contained are so ridiculous and abb
surd that they would seem to hardly call for
. denial. Yet, I realize the fact that they
have been extensively quoted in reputable
Maine papers, and for that reason In the abb
sence OF denial might be believed.

The finding confirms the report Of the

LEAVING 1T TO THE GUIDE
Bishop Didn't Have Language Equal to
the Occasion When the Trout
Escaped.

The bishop was an angler and was
keen on trout fishing. Early in the
season, If not the opening day, he re-
sponded to the lure Of the ripping
brook. AS he crept softly through the
elder thicket that bordered the
stream he had the good fortune to
hook a trout that put up a stormy
fight. Evidently the fish had no mind
to grace the creel of even al apostolic
expert.
The guide held his breath. 1t was
not possible for him to get near
enough through the brush to help the
bishop and the enemy. He could only
watch the fight and hope for the best.
The struggle eliminated in a swift
jerk that landed the dripping old war
rior up In the branches OF a maple
which lowered above the alders-not
an unusual experience for an angler.
but the first of the kind that had fall
en- to the lot of the bishop. Well-he
was always seeking experience and
now he had It. This, however, was
different from casting and the result
was dire. The line snapped, the bril-
liant and dashing Fontinalis dropped
back into the brook and with an in
solent wave of his tail said as plainly
as words, by, by, old boy"
The bishop and guide looked at each
other. Then the bishop said to the
guide in the earnest and appealing
tone with which he was wont to stir
the emotions Of his congregation,
John, you say It,"
