women. Martha, practical, business like, with great regard for mortal welfare. A noble woman and a type essential to our existence. Yet inc 6aster reminds us that there are other things; There is the spiritual being which demands nourishment The enc essential thing Martha neglected to the souls detriment Cares and riches choke the things pertaining to the souls good. Most of us are n9t treu- bled with a superabundAnee of this worlds riches. But how often, though, we let our cares, with which we all are burdened, hinder the development of the soul and mind. Woman does not easily throw off cares Man. by his contact with the world, is less sensi- tive, and throws off cares more cas- fly. Woman, cares depress and re- press. Martha neglected the most inn port things. Seek ye first the king dom of God This does not mean to neglect the other things.
 Devotional to Help Practical.
 The devotionaI side of life, of which Mary was a symbol, has it's weak nesses Here is an example of the re-, ligi0us woman, always active in Gods interests. Yet she was not beyond criticism: she was neglecting her du- ties; she should have been more con- cerned and thoughtful The devotional life is to help us in our practical life, to quicken the moral sense and the affections, to permeate the whole of life. If religion is but a group of emotions 1t is impotent.
 The correct balance, the ideal life, is that in which religion meets and conquers the cares of the world, a life of communion lived among distracting cares. happy combination where practical ideas and religion work to- gether.
 She hath chosen the better part" Mary's choice was between two parts both good. She was commended be- cause she chose the higher part Much of our life is like this. Not merely a choice between good and evil where discrimination is easy. Men, with their more vigorous nature and impulsive will and passions, their free contact with the world are perhaps often called upon to choose between good and evil. Women are not so oft en called upon for such a strenuous choice. But they are called upon often to make the higher choice-to choose the better part-the choice between two goods, shall I call it.
 The spiritualizing of personality leads to sensittveness to these finer issues
 The choice of the lesser good may lead to deterioration just as surely as the choice of evil. Let ours alwaye be the choice of the better part, the part of moral and spiritual advance ment.

MYerIc SUICIDE lpENTlFIEp.
Was ceerse ?. Rich; sa, Of Forest Hills, Mass-Feund Drowned Six Weeks Age.

The body found in the water at Mystic six weeks ago has been identi- fed as that of George D. Rich of Forest Hills, Mass. Rich was SS years old and disappeared on March 27. The medical examiners nnding was that oI drowning with suicidal intent Rlcn had previously lost his right hand and was six feet SC en inches in hcignL V which were conclusive facts in proving Identification.
 The Identification was brought about through pr. NJ L. Small who saw the picture of a missing man resembling tho drowned person printed in Bos- ton paper Dr Small showed the pic ture to 4. |. Mclaughlin, manager of the Hotel Hoxie. who was one Of the last people to see the old man alive, end Mir. Mclaughlin was also strongly of the impression that the picture was that of the suicide Directly after do- ing tbis Dr. Small telephoned the chief of police at Besten and later in the 5ay received inquiries by telephone from Frank L. Cobb with whom Rich lived at Forest Fills First Gelectnan Heldredge of the town of Stonington and Walter J. Shea of the undertaking firm of Wilcox & Shea have also re- ceived messages of inquiry from Forest Hills, and arrangements will be made as seen as practical for exhun1ing the body and taking it to Boston for burial For over 53 years Rich worked for the family Of Col. George Whitney of Royalston. Mass. and for the last few years had been retired on 8 pension, owing to an accident which deprived him of his right hand a mark which served in the establishment Of the mans Identification. Rich has been in the habit of spending his winters for several years with Frank L. Cobb, su- perintendent of the crematory of the , Forest Hills cemetery. He left their home on the afternoon of March q to take the trolley to Worcester, where he
 was to spend a few days and visit friends in Royalston.
 Investigations made soon after the mans disappearance by Cobb showed
 MT. Rich had visited none of these ] places.
 There is no reason whatever, so far
 as known, why the old man should | have taken his own life, or why he should have left his identity a matter
 for speculation. He registered at the | Hotel HOXie as James Johnston, Nash ua, N. H. That he intended to take his
 own life there Is little room for doubt, ! since on the second night that he
 stayed at the hotel he was taken ter
 ribly sick, supposedly from an over Ndose of poison of some kind. He was
 entirely without funds, saving 10 cents
 and on leaving the hotel explained the circumstances to MT. Mclaughlin, off,
 fering to leave his watch and chain
 to secure the bill; but Mir Mclaughlin
 would not take them, saying he would
 trust the man to send the money wheI
 he got home. Mir Mclaughlin was the
 last person, probably, who talked witf the man.

LEE & OSGoOD GUARANTEES RHEUMA FOR RHEUMATISM

What chance does any sufferer take when RHEUNA is guaranteed to ban ish rheumatism, lumbago, gout and kidney ailments, or money back?
 Why not investigate this offer; talk to The Lee & OsgeGd Co, about it. RHEU81A surely dees drive rheumatic poison from the system, brings swol- len joints back ts normal and relieves agony ia two days.
 People so crippled with rheumatism that they could not walk have been absolutely freed from the iron grasp of the demon, rheumatism, with less than half a dozen 50-cent bottles. A few hours after the first dose, RHEE- MA begins to dissolve the uric acid and dEixe it from the body through the natural channels.

COBB DID WRONG.
J. C. Chapman Thinks the Players Need Protection, But Tyrus Exceeded His Rights.

John c. Chapman. formerly manager of the Norwich ball team, is in town on one of his periodical visits. In speaking of the present baseball situa- ti0n caused by the action of Tyrus Cobb, MT. Chapman considers that Cobb did the wrong thing. There is no doubt, said Mir Chapman, the play CTS need protection, but Cobb had no right to do as he did. Then for his teammates to strike capped the climax. Nothing just like it ever happened in baseball and it is time they were made an example of
