A jolly Cotillon.


Perhaps you will all be interested
in the description of these figures
which were danced at a holiday cotil
Ion. College lads and lassies were the
guests. and the affair took place on
the third floor ballroom Of a home
noted for its hospitality.
For the 'snow man" figure the boys
were covered with white paper bags
with round holes cut for eyes. The
girls had small snow men figures with
paper caps in colors pinned on their
gowns. Each man danced with the
girl whose cap matched the colored
button placed In his buttonhole. An
other figure was a large Japanese Ian
tern filed with tiny toys. two of e
kind; as the lantern was tossed about
the toys fell out. and those matching
toys danced together.
The fife and drum figure was great.
The men had whistles and the girls
drums, each drum and each whistle
being tagged with duplicate numbers
and distributed among those who were
to participate in the first waltz. The
leader formed them In military array
to the tune of 'Mulligan Guards" and
at the proper signal all danced.
The last figure savored Of Japan. All
the girls were given lanterns and all
the men a box Of wax taper matches.
When the signal was given the men
lit the lanterns and held them over
the girls. The electric lights we're
turned out for a time. but turned on
as the clock struck IL. and Home.

Quickly Cures Coughs,
Colds and Catarrh

If you, dear reader, could spend an hour
looking over a few of the thousands of testi-
monials that we have on file, you would not go
on suffering from catarrh, that disgusting dis
ease that will surely sap your vitality and
weaken your entire system if allowed to con-
tinue.
You would have just as much faith in HYO-
MEL as we have, and we have so much conf
dence in it's wonderful curative virtue that it
is sold the country over under positive guar
antee to cure catarrh, Group, sore throat,
coughs and colds or money back.
No stomach dosing when you breathe HYO-
MEL Just pour few drops Of the liquid into
the inhaler, and breathe it in.
It is mighty pleasant to use; it opens up
those stuffed-up nostrils in two minutes, and
makes your head feel as clear as bell in a
short time.
Breathe HYOMEI and kill the catarrh germs.
It's the only way to cure catarrh. It's the only
way to get rid of that constant hawking, SNUFF
fling and splitting.
a bottle of HYOMEI and hard rubber pocket
inhaler, costs $500 at druggists everywhere or
at A. A. Howes & Co.'s. If you already own a
Hyomei inhaler you can get an extra bottle Of
HYOMEI for 50 cents.

Maine oysters in Baltimore-.h city
where the choicest of these appetizing
bivalves have long been served, with
many other good things from Chesapeake
bay and the adjacent shores. Well, this
is a surprise. But we are told that
Maine now has eight oyster beds, and
that Commissioner James Donahue of
Sea and Shore Fisheries ''believes that
the immediate future holds glittering
possibilities for Maine in oyster propa-
CATION May he prove true prophet;
for the resulting profit will be great, to
say nothing of the alluring prospect of
having native oysters on the half she'll,
broiled, baked, steamed, deviled or stew
ed. Not church stew, mind you, but
cooked in their own juice in chafing
dish, with plenty of gilt edge butter,
some cracker crumbs and sprinkling of
pepper and salt. Oysters on the half
shell recall memories of the raw bar at
Guys in Baltimore, and of the portly
colored man who was the presiding
genius and an artist in his line. How
deity he opened the bivalves, handing
You the oyster in the deep shell-a "sa-
lacious dab of appetizing jelly" Did
you ever try to open an oyster? If so
you probably found it a difficult opera
ton, requiring good deal of strength,
and perhaps a hammer and a screw
driver. But with Dick the shells came
apart like magic and there were no
broken bits of shell to endanger your
digestion and perhaps your life. But
Guys-the old Guys-has given way to a
modern structure on one of Baltimore
busy streets, and Dick has gone to the
other shore. And now, hail to the Maine

Senator Frye's resignation of the
presidency pro tenn of the Senate has
called forth many tributes from the
press to Names senior Senator. The Bos-
ton Transcript says: GAS presiding Of
ficer Senator Frye has had no superior in
our time. He possessed the art of making
the Senate work rapidly and the tact not
to let his power obtrude on the conscious
ness of a body always jealous of its
dignity and FESTIVE under discipline. A
day when Senator Frye was in the chair
was marked by progress, and he was a
great factor in the rapidity of legisla-
ton. His profound knowledge of par
liamentary law aided both him and the
Senate, for he was not the man to let the
possibility of illegality pass unnoticed in
the heat of debate. Altogether he served
his country most usefully in the seven
years he held the gavel as the temporary
presiding officer of the Senate" The
Transcript pays this further and we'll
merited tribute:
Senator Frye's whole career. not iso-
lated incidents, successfully pleads for
the appreciation of his countrymen. He
has preserved untarnished the great
popular ideal of what senator should
be-clean-handed, clear-headed, djgnfied
without being ponderous, learned with
out being pedantic. A leader of his
party, his partisanship has been that of

not been reaction. He has kept the lib

amiability, his high sense Of duty. have

to differentiate him from the captious
critics who have opposed everything new
because Of its newness. When his SER
vices come to their conclusion the loss
