Statuary Under Water

If truth remains eternally at the bottom of a well, human kindness has for eight months occupied g watery bier in the bed of the river Aube. Sometime ago M. Dujardin- Beaumetz presented to his native town of LinouX fine group of statuary representing La Tendresse Humaine." It was roses all the way at the unyeiling, but lit tie later the donor, now become deputy for Limoux, entered the senate, and resigned his seat Then was engaged a fervent electoral campaign, in which one of the candidates was the idolized Yedrines. The aviator was defeated by a narrow margin. and his disglsted supporters dumped La Tendresse Hu- maine" into the river presumably to cool their own heads.
 Vfcafious passions have long since died down at LimouS, but still La Tendresse Humaine,' reposes peacefully beneath tue green waters of the Aube; and wiy? We'll just the expense, as the Scotchman says. First. the municipality was ap- rroached, then the prefecture, and then the board of engineers All were ccy. Nothing in their respective charters pro- vided for the fishing up of works of art" Besides. who was going to pay? The commune was the answer given, but without consultation of the commune. "Jan1ilis de la Vie''-'Not much said that respectable corporation when the suggestion reached it's long ears.
 Fortunately, the ingenious M Leon Der aid, under secretary of state for fine arts has laid it down that the Aube, being navigable, to quite a large toy boat. can thus come within the province and pur- view of the board of public works. That body immediately set to work to dis cover some decree authorizing it to take action in the matter, and with the hap piest results. for 1t has unearthed a royal mandate eating back to June, TIT, which invests it with the power to clear the beds of rivers "of all kinds of garbage likely to obstruct navigation" Poor '"rendresse Humajne,' Under what base categores are you classed, and what strange river change will you have suf- tered when all the republics horses and men bring you once more 10 the sur face?

Capturing Pythians

They were real snakes, and pythons
 at that Their purchaser. who had bought them at Hamburg, forgot them, which seems more casual than most things. h. deed, they would say of him in the acad- emy that he was "epatant." When he left l them they were not only neglected but
 very cold The fortune of lost things set
 them in a police station presently beside stove, and in the bag which held them, obeying the laws of heat, they expanded.
 Marvelling greatly that inanimate leather should thus discover undulations, a cn-
 rous policeman opened the bag, and, hey
 presto up bobbed a python. With the
 cunning of pythons, the agent set food
 before them, and the python, with the trustfulness of agents, ate. It was their updoing, so to say. After they had eaten
 they slept well, and they slept they were bound. Then came their master,
 asking if python had passed that way.
 The recognition on his part was touching. But the pythons slept on meath the coun-
 terpane just as he had laid them.
 The latest creations of Partisan dress
 makers have curious names. Thus one
 sensational costume is called La Robe
 Duplomate," another "Political Horizon, '
 third Triple Alliance" and fourth Triple Entente.'

bitumen construction alone, the con-
Germs figure being 1880.
1t is probable that the bituminous
macadam will be used in the construc-
ton of this road but that and other
details will be decided upon, Monday,
at conference between Mr. Wiley
and Comr Harrison. which will be
held at the State House. Mr.. Wiley
is at present engaged in the construc-
ton of $500 square yards of bitumn-
Gus macadam road for the State at
Damariscotta.
The State highway department has
already advertised for bids for 1-2
miles of trunk line road in Wells. AS
in the case of the Kennebunkport
road, proposals will be asked for four
different kinds of construction.
1t is expected that work upon the
kennebunkport road will begin at
once after the conference between Mr..
Wiley and Conn. Hardison. The
State highway commissioner, in ac-
cord with the recent action taken by
the Governor and Council, will seek
to have constructed during the pres
ent season as much trunk line work
as can be done with the available
funds.

THE FATNESS OF HEALTH
Samose Fills Out thes Curves and
Makes Thin People Fat.

If you are thin, your health is not
what il should be. Ii you are losing
weight steadily there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once You cannot be healthy and
strong if you are thin.
Perfect health and good solid beau
tiful flesh can only come through the
use of Samose, the remarkable flesh
forming food.
Samuse is not drug or stimu-
liant; it is scientific flesh-forming
food that restores thin people to a
normal condition of good healthy flesh.
There are thousands of unhappy,
nervous thin people who would look
and feel entirely different if they were
cnly fat and plump Let them use Sa-
nose and they will soon notice re-
markable results
These statements are confirmed by
Bowditch, Webster & Co.'S. offer te
refund the money to anyone buying
and using Samose who does not gain
in weight q S promised The risk is all
theirs. The thin and scrawny can buy
