Good Weioht,

One trick Of the trade was taught to
the young butcher by the marketman
who gave him his first employment.
The old dealer pointed to trays of beef
lamb and pork trimmings beneath the
counter.
when customers ask to have all the
waste that has been cut from their
own meat wrapped up with their order
be sure to put in "a few of these trim
mingS i,esides." he said. Most always
they want the scraps sent home so
they can weigh the whole business and
tind out whether they are getting full
weight or not. Enough extra pieces
to- tip the scales half an ounce beyond
the supposed weight won't hurt any
body and will give us good name"
Shortly after that the new clerk
heard one frugal housewife say to an
other: "Oh. why don't you trade at
Blanks? He gives such good meas
ure. often almost an ounce more than
you pay for"

Cures that last are cures that tell.
To thoroughly know the virtues of
medicine you must investigate the
cures and see if they prove perman-
ent. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this
test, and plenty of proof exists right
here in this locality. People who
testified years ago to relief from
backache, kidney and urinary disor-
ders, now declare that relief was per-
manent and the cure perfect. Can
any Aberdeen sufferer longer doubt
the evidence?

CIeyereSt Fish
Story of Season.
(Bangor Commercially

This is the prize fish story of the
present season:
Although it wasn't nearly as hot,
Thursday, as it has been. the air was
nevertheless sultry and ones clothing
stuck to one disa greeably. AS con-
Sequence, nearly half a hundred boys
went in swimming mp at the salmon
pool below the water works during
the forenoon. It was low water along
about 1889, but late in the morning
the tide had gone down sufficiently
so that the rocks and lodges on either
shore were bare.
+ There is one spot on the Brewer side
where the rock has been worn away
and a pool of water is left in the de-
preston With every tide. One of the

gard for the rays of the sun. happen
ed to stroll over toward this pool, he
had nearly reached it when something
siIvery caught his eye. He looked
again and it moved and then some
water splashed into the air. His eye
balls nearly popped from his freckled
face.
Gee. fellers, Look what's here he
The cry brought the others up on
the run and the astonished boys saw
struggling and imprisoned in the shall
low water before them, two Penob-
scot river salmon--the largest fish
they had ever seen, so it seemed at
the time.
The boys astonishment was. only
monentary and almost instantly a
fierce struggle for the prizes was
commenced. Scores OF hailas
reached out for the fish but their sides
were wet and slipperysand it was no
easy matter to grasp them. II would
have been difficult enough under the
most favorable circumstances but in
the MIDST of the pushing excited mass
of boys it became almost an impossi-
bility.
one of the lads in his excitement an6
disappointment and missing the fish,
turned and struck blindly into the
crowd. This started what was almost
q free-for-an fight, in the midst OF
which two boys. Harlem Corners, a
son of John Corners, a riverman, ,iv-
ling on Birch street. and Ned Pinette
who lives on Spruce street, eacn got
one of the fish.
