"North Hartland" Again.

The following despatch under date of
Nov 30, was sent from White River
Junction to the Boston Globe:
One of the most remarkable cases of
village strife was brought to a close to-
day when the hamlet five miles south of
here, known as "Evarts, VT" was
changed back to its original name of
North Hartland." The order for the
change In name went through the post
Office department here to Washington
today.
Pres. Nichols of Dartmouth college
and Prof II. ID. Worthen of the same
institution are responsible for the
change, as these two men were appoint
ed by President Taft to settle the dis
pute between the citizens as to which
name should be retained.
This controversy in which the Presl-
dent of the United States took part be-
gan in February. 1909. and during its
continuance people from all over New
England haye taken a hand, including
State and National Senators. Represen-
tatives, Post Office inspectors, the Post
master General of the United States and
his assistants. college professor and a
college president.
For more than 1870 years the name Of
the village has been North Hartland"
and the majority of the residents were
indignant when 1t was suggested that
the name was to be changed. Others
claimed that the name was confusing
and caused all sorts of trouble. that mail
and express and even letters were mis-
directed, and 1t was believed by some
that the elimination of at least one OF
the Hartlands would simplify matters

When Ny Ship Comes In.

If all of my ships come home, my dear,
Deep-laden from bottom to deck,
I'll buy you bright diamonds to hang on
your ear
And rubies to Irvine round your neck;
No queen shall be fine as this lady of
mine
If all of my ships come home.
II half of my ships come home. my dear.
Wen travel to look for the rest;
shall be the near,
And Wen roam from the East to the
West.
You shall journey in state, love, with me
for your mate,
If half of my ships come home.
II one of my ships come home. my dear
Wen build us a house on a hill.
With a garden to work in all through
the sweet year.
And roses to pluck at your will.
You shall taste the good life of a cot
tager's wife.
If one OF my ships comes home.
But If none of my ships come home, my
dear.
II all of them sink in the wave
Then, bankrupt, with nothing to for
felt or fear.
I'll bind me to service. your slave,
And proudly I'll take what you give for
loves sake,
II none of my ships come home.

THE coMsTock LODE.
A "strke" That Was Destined to In
Nuence the Worlds Finances.

Henry Paige Comstock to Peter O'Riley
and Patrick Mclaughlin, who We're his
fellow prospectors in search for gold
I'm Six Mile canyon, near the present
Virginia City, then capital of Nevada.
The date was June 10, 1859. In that re-
mote spot in the American wilderness by
these three obscure men was made on
that day a discovery destined to affect
the current of American politics for
score of years and to have for long
disturbing influence on the world
finances.
Inc thing which was STRUCK" on that
June day of 1859 was the vein covering
what came to be known as the Com
stock lode, in which were hidden the
richest deposits of silver ever found
anywhere on the globe. Their develop
ment years afterward simultaneously
with that of the silver mines of Colorado
started the downward flood in the price
of silver which broke the old ratio be-
tween the money metals, changed the
monetary system of the leading nations
from the double to the single gold stand

1877 under the leadership of Richard p.
Bland, for the reopening of the minis to
silver on the same terms as to gold, led
hence to the passing OF the Bland-Alli-
son limited silver coinage law of 1873
and to that of the Sherman silver bullion
deposit act of 1890 and was the issue
which split the two great parties and
made havoc among the smaller ones in
1896, resulting I'm the act of 1900 which

VICTORY FOR THE JUNIORS.
Defeated the Other High School Glasses
SO Through Two Field Goals Kicked
by Ben Weeden.

In an interesting and well fought con-
test the Junior class football team de-
feated an all-class team Wednesday
afternoon at Island park, 6 to 0. Weeden
scored the points for the juniors with
two we'll placed field goals. A small
crowd watched the game, which was
fully as interesting as any seen here this
season.
Both teams had the ball during the
first period but neither scored In the
second period the all-class team had the
bah near the centre of the field, when a
bad pass to Haskell caused him to FUN
BILE and it rolled along the ground toward
his own goal. Adams grabbed it, but
landed in a sitting posture. He arose
and ran Is yards before he was tackled.
This brought the ball close to the all
class goal line and on the second play
Weeden kicked the ball between the goal
posts. In the third period Weeden made
a pretty run of 10 yards, blocking off
several attacks, and it appeared as
though he would score a touchdown. He
slipped and fell when within 20 yards of
the goal line and the period ended with
the ball near the centre of the field. In
the fourth Weeden kicked a goal from
the % yard line after the juniors had
employed rushing tactics to get the
ball up the field Immediately after
ward the all-cass had their only real
opportunity to score when they were
within 10 yards of their opponents
line, but were held off. The whistle
blew with the ball in the Juniors pos
session 20 yards from their own line.
The forward pass was not used sue
cessfully more than three or four times,
although several attempts were made
with it, A play that netted the all class
team several yards three times was a
fake forward pass. Haskell would run
back and receive the ball for a forward
pass, pose himself as though about to
throw it and his opponents would hurry
for the man they thought was to receive
1t. Angler would dart behind him, slip
the ball off his hand and be down the
field before the other team could collect
itself. The juniors were better on the de-
fensive, although at times the all-class
line appeared weak. All through the
game the officials were kept busy watch
ing infractions of the rules

NOT ANNOYED, OF COURSE
Capt. Butt Was Merely Giving to His
Friend Few Philosophical
Reflections.

Capt. Archibald W. Butt, the presi-
dents military aide, was called out of
bed at nine o'clock one morning to
answer a telephone call
Archie" said his friend on the
other end of the wire, Il called you
up to tell you that l shall not be able
to keep the appointment made with
you for eleven o'clock today"
I'm sorry" said Butt, his tone
trifle chilly
Yes; It's too bad agreed the
other.
There ensued an ominous pause.
You know" remarked Butt senten-
tiously, "telephoning seems to be a
habit, a bad habit, in Washington.
People are beginning to issue their
Invitations by telephone. They phone
on the slightest provocauon. They
don't seem to know when not to tele-
phone. They even get you out of bed
to talk to you on the telephone"
I'm afraid annoyed you. and
you're bawling me out" said the
friend
"Oh, MOI" contradicted Butt in a
louder tone. my remarks are merely
a few philosophical reflections induced
by the early hour of the morning.

SIX MILLION DOLLAR Fire
AT BANGOR, MAINE, AND HUN
DREDS ARE HOMELESS.
Entire Business District Wiped Out.
Residence Section Also Visited.
Two Are Dead. -:

A Bangor, Maine.-Property valued al
hundreds of people made homeless
and almost the entire business SOC
ton of the city devastated during the
conflagration Sunday night. One life
is known to have been lost, an I'M.
identified man who, was killed by q
| falling wall
Mayor Mullen called the local COM
| pany of the National guard and placed
the city under martial rule
Already score of buildings have
been blown up in an effort to check
the flames and dynamite is still being
used. The fire started in hay shed.
At midnight large portion Of the
business section had been destroyed
and great inroads had been made in
the residence part of the city.
Half an hour after the fire alarm
had been sounded nearly a dozen
buildings were in flames. In the path
of the flames were banks, office build
ings, the public library and other
structures, all Of which were reduced
to ashes
The city soon was shut off from
telephone communication The tele-
graph companies offices were both
burned during the early stages Of the
conflagration, but later they estab-
lished temporary offices outside the
zone and communication was re-
sumed.
An Intellectual attempt was made to
stay the flames by dynamiting several
blocks, but the fire bridged the
chasm and continued with undated
fury.
About midnight a light rain began
to fall, and this, combined with shift
in the wind to the east, enabled the
firemen to check the progress of the
fire.
Burned Area.
The burned area follows the Ken.
duskeag stream for nearly two miles
north Of the starting point and spreads
to width varying from one-eighth to
a quarter of mile.
Thousands of persons spent the |
night in the streets, some from choice,
but many because their homes were
either burned or in danger.
The fire is considered by insurance
people the worst that Maine has
known since the Portland fire in 1866,
when large part of the business
section of that city was destroyed
with loss of $10,0O0,O00.
Bangor has a population of nearly
100000 by the 1910 census and the lat
est figures show a real estate valua-
ion of $16,s9S.967.
At midnight the fire had swept
westward nearly to Hammond street
IN Franklin. The fighting forces con.
,entrated at this point, and aided by
| modern fire wall at the rear of the
Bass block, halted the march of the
lanes. All of the territory to the
lorth and east of that point is mass
# ruins. At least quarter of the
.ity has been laid waste.
Most of the residential section Of
he city was swept away as well as
he business section

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

when my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran a
Watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch SO that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and a thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning I had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as if he were dying. He was
almost a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies.
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for long while. I
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on one application of Cuticura
Ointment and he was SO soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad was he felt better. It took one
box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near one cake Of Cuticura Soap to
cure him. l think our boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and l shall always remain a firm
friend of them. There has been no

to have you publish this true state
ment of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. M.
