NORTHPORT.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather and
the bad travelling the first social function of
the New Year was postponed until Wednesday
evening Jan. 18th, when Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. E.
Bowden held their wedding reception at their
pretty cottage, the Rockery, on Beechhill
avenue. By 8 o'clock every room was literally
thronged with both old and young,who came to
express their good wishes and to extend to the
bride and groom wishes for happy New Year
as well as prosperous future. Mrs. Bowden
was the widow of the late Capt C. E. Rhoades,
and united in marriage to Mr.. Geo. f.
Bowden of Passadumkeag Monday evening,
Jan LIST, by the Rev. G. E. Frohock at the resi-
dence of the groom S sister, Mrs. Thomas Bush
by, in Camden. After congratulations and
other pleasant and happy compliments had
been rendered to the happy pair, and all had
severally enjoyed themselves, the host and
hostess invited all to the dining room, where a
most delicious spread was partaken of. Then
followed an inspection of the many beautiful
and useful presents from their wide circle of
friends, not only from home folks but from
distant places as we'll. 1t was very enjoyable
occasion, and everybody went away brim full
of good cheer extended to them by the genial
host and hostess. And here will say that Mr..
and Mrs. Bowden deeply appreciate their kind
ness and extend to their visitors their most
grateful thanks for the splendid gifts received,
and in the years to come they will look back
with pride and pleasure and ever remember
these evidences of generosity kindness and
friendship.

Col. Henry Watterson has found ut
chat his candidate for president, Wood

to quote more nearly the colonel's words,
that he is more of schoolmaster than
a statesman. Col. Harvey, editor of
Harper's Weekly, the original Woodrow
Wilson boomer, has taken a reef in his
boom: and between what Watterson and
Harvey say it is evident that Wilson is
afflicted with elephants of the Uranium,
otherwise known as the big head.
Senator Elihu Root, as President of

His theme was Judicial Decisions and

staunchly defended both the State and
Federal courts of the country and de-
nounced the principle underlying the re-
call of Judges. Still, from what we have
seen of the miscarriage of justice in the
courts in recent years, we are not sure
but that the recall of judges is needed.

other day it was decided to oppose his

ing out the Democratic policy, or agree
ment, to further the liquor interests. On
the other hand about 80 Republicans

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM
 M. RoENA.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: It has been a long, long time since I have claimed a place in "Our Corner" May I enter and have little chat with you this beautiful summer day?
 I left Broad Street station, Phila- delphia. on the afternoon of June 18th for the grand old Buckeye. my birth state. Taking a through express we made but few stops, crossed the noun tains and the horseshoe bend in the night: there being a bright new moon we had a good view of the bend. I reached Alexandria, Ohio. my desti- nation, about noon on the 18th. My trip was a pleasant one.
 I passed through Gnastenhutten, Ohio. the home of a dear brother. but only to wave a nasty how do you do and a short good bye.
 At another town a dear familiar face was at the door to wave one a welcome home with only a glimpse of these two forms, and the happy an ticipation of a visit in the near fu- ture made the rest of my journey happy and joyful.
 It has been month of much pleas ure and real enjoyment, meeting my own dear ones, renewing old acquaint ances and meeting old schoolmates.
 But with all this happiness there is a sadness that at times comes over mG and almost units me for all this joy It is the thought and knowledge that our dear old home has passed into strange hands.
 I stand and look and watch for tht dear forma of my loved ones but opl1

in my imagination can see them, pleasant and sad memories mingle to- gether only to assure us that time brings many changes and that many of our loved ones are watching and beckoning for us to meet them in that home not made with hands.
 I see many conveniences in the west that our Yankee friends do not enjoy. The "toot" of the automobile an- nounces the arrival of the rural mail. The streets of our beautiful village are oiled and the complaints of dust by the housewife are hushed. The houses are heated as well as lighted with natural gas. In some of the homes there may be a superduity of "gas": but it is natural, so we have no criticism to offer.
 The farmers are now through har- vesting and are busy thrashing their wheat, and oats. The process of thrashing is quite interesting to me of course 1t is done with steam, and the blower is amusing. Now in place of several men to take care of the straw, the blower does 1t, putting il either in the haymow or in a stack just as desired.
 Wheat is almost a failure this year; but the oats yield Is great Corn is looking badly and if we should have an early frost it will be a great loss
 have made you a long call and must bid you all good morning, and skip away to make preparation fol another pleasant trip to visit with z brother and family of my dear hus- band.
 I may come again soon. I am stil your sister,

JIM RECALLS A DAY OF HAP
 PENSTANCES.

Dear Social Corner Folks: Thought l would drop in just few minutes before mailtime to say good morn ing, if nothing more. How fast the busy season is passing.
 The Farmers Talk to Farmers the other Saturday of Happenings Down on the Farm was very interesting. It reminded me of the fine hay day I was moving in the orchard. it was his best. It was then that the bees swarmed. After they were safely hiv- ed, then looking up the road I saw some hogs just going out of sight around the bend. I was surprised, in- vestigating to find them mine, it took about two hours to get them back. Then while getting in hay I slipped and fell from a big load and sprain- cd my shoulder. I think some days are a whole kaleidoscope of happen ings, don't you Nat?
 Have you finished having? You and Jane Ann have my best wishes. Merry Farmer Boy: Did I not see you out helping papa in the hay l Boy is another helper, too. When l was Paa's Boys age I had a black dog named Tige.

THE MERITS OF, KEROSENE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Fur nishing light is but one of it's duties. Always handy for removing rust from steel, for polishing over stoves and pipes before putting them away, to clean rollers of wringers, to remove paint from hands, to soften dried brushes and leather, to fill tin covers under refrigerator casters to keep them free from ants. to clean oil cloth and zinc, to polish furniture, windows and mirrors, to remove grease from fabrics and helps wonderfully when washing shop clothes.
 Flies detest the odor, so I put a small quantity into vases, vide meuthed bottles and hang them back of curtains and at the sides of the windows; and place small dishes where they are not seen and occasionally spray the doors and the flies disap- pear.
 Kerosene Is an old standby for poul- try houses. A haR-gill stirred into a pail of suds to spray rose bushes and plants will keep them free from in- sects. Two seasons the worms have destroyed our summer squashes, but up to date they are growing finely am using the soapsuds with kerosene to water them once a week. Some recommend a few drops as 8 hair tonic, and for sore throat. Kerosene is a plain but serviceable friend for innumerable uses. l Success to all.

COMFORT REMEDIES OF oLDEN
 TIMES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Is there anything under the sun that will tire q woman more or make her more 1rrit- able than aching feet? Now, let me tell you of something that will help much in easing those useful members.
 First, bathe the feet every night in warm water to which a little salt or soda has been added. After drying, rub with alcohol.
 If joints are swollen and inhamed, or there are corns. apply tincture of iodine several times 8 week. Wear pads of absorbent cotton over joints and corns after first amounting them with a good ointment Ooane's is ex- cellent). Calloused places can be made soft by the use of vaseline, and cotton placed between the toes will prevent soft corns forming.
 An oId-fashioned remedy for rheum- atism Is one ounce each of Epson salts, nitrate of potash and powdered sulphur into one quart of boiling wa ter. This, after being allowed to stand in a covered vessel for six hours, is well strained and given in doses of onG ounce three or four times during the day. Also apply
 A Liniment-Compo of olive oil five ounces; chloroform, two ounces hartshorn, six drains; tinct. sconitt root, two drams. Apply sufficiently often to relieve pain.
 Billie: Do tell me about the picnt, at Ocean beach. Pm dying to know. What~is the matter with Jim tha we don't hear from him? And Nat i silent, too. Think they must be fat tening their hogs. or else they are get ting ready to go to the fair this fall.
