TASTING WINE FOR LIVING
Strange Calling Followed by Women

Wine tasters, it appears. are born,
not made, and must possess the gift
OF a rare and delicate palate To
this. of course, must be added a linowl-

is so fine and her knowledge of wines
such that she can discern from the
first taste of wine just where the
grapes grew from which it was made,
whether they were raised in Califor-

Best TREATMENT FOR
ALL COMPLEXION ILLS.


III tell you my panacea for all COM
plexion troubles. IL the skin be color
less, shallow. muddy, over-red, if it be
rough, blotchy, or pirnply. there's moth
ing that will so surely overcome the
condition as ordinary mereolized wax.
The wax literally takes off q bad COM
plexion-absorbs the dead and near
dead particles of surface skin, so gent
ly, gradually, you experience no ineon-
venience at all. A new complexion IS
then in evidence, one so clear, spotless,
delicately soft and beautiful, you look
many years younger. One ounce of this
wax, proourable at any drug store,
will re8avenate even the worst com
plexion. 1T is smeared on like cold
cream before retiring and removed
mornings with warm water. The mer-
eolized wax habit is a healthier and
more economical one than the cosmetic
habit.
If the skin be wrinkled or flabby,
battle it daily in a solution made by
dissolving an ounce of powdered sax
olite in a half pint witch hazel. This
acts Immediately. affecting even the
deepest wrinkles.-Elsie Desmond.

No evidence was found, however, at
this session of the grand jury sufficient
to secure AN additional indictment of
any other person in connection with
the murder. The investigation last
April was the third one and the sec
ond that had been before the grand
jury of the county. The first was
in April 1906 and the second in 1908
when Governor Plaisted, then sheriff,
assisted in an attempt to unearth facts
previously undiscovered.
Story of the Crime.
1t was just after supper time on the
evening OF Aug A. 1906, that Levi
Hackett, prosperous Kents Hill
farmer asked his daughter to get some
food for young tramp who.had asked
for supper and nights lodging. Mat
tie Haekctt was wiping the dishes at
the time.
She replied that there was not much
left to eat hut il the man was willing
to take what she could get together

in the direction of the road.

and called Matte but did not find her,
Then he started down the road with a
lighted lantern and found her body

lying beside the road about 40 rods
from the house, her head lover than
her feet. She appeared. as he held the
lantern over her, to be dead. TIE side
of her face was partly covered with
blood. Which WAS running down her
hair.
She WIS taken into the house and it
was not Until Mr. Hackett and his wife
were changing her clothes that they
noticed that cord was around her
neck. 4 piece Of coarse hemp binding
twine had been wound round her neck
two or three times There was a big
knot at the throat and two square
knots at the back of the neck. The
flesh had swollen so that it covered
the cord. Had Mr. Hackett seen and
removed the cord when ms found his

Most Perpiexing Case.
The Matte Haekett case is consider
ed one OF the most perplexing in the
annals of crime in Maine. In her
home village of Readfield Matte Hack
EFT was known as modest, good tenn
pered and conscientious girl and at
the time of her death testimonials to
her character were given by members
of the faculty Of Kent's Hill Seminary,
where she attended school.
Bert Raymond. the husband of Mrs
Elsie Hobbs Raymond. lived with his
wife in Readdeld at the time of the
murder. He sometimes used TO drive
Miss Hackett and an older sister to
and from kent's Hill Seminary. near
by. It was alleged at that time that
Mrs. Raymond was jealous OF Matte.
Miss Hackett's death was so mys-
terious and atroeious that it reused the
whole State of Maine at the time the
deed was committed. But although
rewards were offered for the apprehen-
sion of the murderer or murderers, no
clue deemed satisfactory to grand
jury was discovered until after the
session of the. grand jury. last April.

had discovered important new evil

may be is being carefully guarded by
