Pointed Paragraphs.

Deliver US from the man who feels
entirely at home in jail.
Marriage is more often an assignment
than failure
However, a good man isn't necessarily
desirable neighbor.
It isn't every fancier who can tell a
dogwood tree by its bark
The less amiable a woman is the hand
somer she thinks she needs to be.
Anyway, the pessmist is thankful that
he wasn't born an optimist.
The new engagement ring causes many
a finger to point with pride.
When a young man is in love he i'm
agines that he neither eats nor sleeps.
If a woman's sense of humor is miss
ing she is apt to get funny at the wrong
time.
There may be nothing new under the
sun, but there are lot of fresh people.

Senor Don ]. e. Lefevre, first secretary

Spanish-American woman. She has the
rich coloring. piquant beauty and vi
vacity of temperament common to wom-
en- of her mothers Spanish blood Her
father was English born, but an American
citizen who was in the United States
Navy during the civil war.
Senorita Lefevre speaks English. French
and Spanish. In 1907 she came to Wash
ington as a member of the party of the
first president of Panama, Senor Amador,
her uncle by marriage With other MEM
bers of the Amador party she was enter
tanned at the White House by the Pres-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt. and later in
France by the president of the French
republic While in Europe she spent some
time in Spain. where she met young King
Alfonso and where she also learned to do
the Spanish dances.

sides of her house. Is native Pan

Her seven children were all born in Pan
anna. AS I have said, the or Panama,
even the Panama that I knew as a child
has changed wonderfully. The women
there do not wear their native costumes
any longer, except at carnival time. or
on some similar occasion. Would you like
to see how our women of Panama used
to dreSs?
And she held up for view the daintiest
of thin frocks. made short-sleeved and
with modest decolletage The numerous
f1ounces of the old fashionad volumnous
skirt were edged with finest lace. The
touch of red loved by Spanish women
was given by brilliant red sash fast
ened with big handmade buttons of
solid gold and by little red satin slip
pers. hand-sewed. and intended to be
worn without stockings. Red flowers for
the hair and exquisite tortoise shell side
combs with tops of solid gold surmount-
ed by coral completed the costume. Miss
Lefevre was queen of the carnival at
Panama in 1912. when she appeared sew
eral times in native dress.
Miss Lefevre has a collection of jewel
ry worn by Panamanian ladies of the
aristocracy in the old days. This col
lection is not nearly SO large as that of
but it contains many beautiful pieces
that would be the envy of any American
girl. One of Miss Lefevre's treasures is
rosary and cross of gold made nearly
300 years ago. and of the rarest work
manship. Massive golden chains for
necklaces. their links forged by hand,
almost barbaric in their splendor are
an interesting feature of Miss Le-
fevre's collection. She also has some
of Panamanian gold and set with Pana-
manian pearls. Some of these are cx-
ceedingly old and very individual in
workmanship
Miss Lefevre will spend the coming
summer in Europe and will go to Pana-
ma next January for the opening of the
canal.

Have Pure Blood
Hoods sarsaparilIa Makes Rich, Red
Blood.

Your heart works night and day
without pause. 1t is the principal
organ of the circulation of your blood.
1t is of the utmost Importance that it
should do it's work well. The quality
and quantity of your blood have much
to do with it's action. If this fluid is
pure and abundant, your heart and
other vital organs act with more en-
ergy than when it is defective in quail
ity or deficient in quantity.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the blood
pure and abundant. 1t is the one old
reliable medicine, that has been sold
for forty years, for purifying the
blood. There is no better blood rem
edy, appetizer, stomach tonic or nerve
builder. From the very first dose of
Hoods Sarsaparilla improvement be-
gins.
Be sure your druggist gives you
Hoods for nothing else can possibly
benefit Won as much and nothing else
can take it's place. Get it today.--Adv.

AUGUSTA troll
LEY LEAGUE d.
RECTORS MEET
Two New Members
Admitted to Board
==B. F. FOiSOmiS
New Treasurer
Situation Discussed and Plans
Perfected.

The Board of Directors of the Au-
guSta Trolley League Baseball club
met Wednesday evening at the City
Hall and the following elected as di-
rectorS for the ensuing year: B. +.
Folsom, Orrin L. Choate, Hiram Wey-
mouth, w. A. Hanks and DR.. w. G.
Thomas. Messrs Folsom, Choate and
Weymouth were on the board of di-
rectors last season. Mr.. Hanks and
DR.. Thomas are the newly elected di-
rectors this year. b. f. Folsom was
elected secretary and treasurer Of the
club.
The evening was passed in a dis
cussion of the needs and prospects of
the Augusta club, and every member
present was much pleased with the
outlook for the coming season. 1t was
decided to engage pitcher and an
infield. from outside and to play seven
local players, thus keeping the ex-
penses to minimum. 1t was also
decided to have a playing manager
and the directors have in mind one
of three men whom they expect to
land in the near future for this posi-
ticn. With one first class pitcher the
sentiment seemed to be that Augusta
would be able to cope with the strong
Gardiner team and the Winthrop
champions. While as ever, they expect
a hot argument with their nearest
neighbors, Hallowell, who always
keep their club on the map and make
it warm work for all corners.
A committee was appointed to ar
range a meeting with the directors of
the other clubs at once, and to perfect
plans for the season.
There has been quite a little talk
about charging the circuit to six
club league, but at the meeting to be
held it will probably be decided. 1t
seems as though with all the places of
business closed on Wednesday after
moons during the summer season, that
the prospects are very bright for the
little Trolley League this season. If
the fans in the four cities will all work
together and keep the ball rolling
from now until the opening games.
we shall see the best brand of baseball
ever in the Kennebec Valley. All at
it, all the time.
