Small Seaport in Maine.

Machias, the scene of the famous
encounter, is small seaport in Maine.
and in recognition of the prowess of
the town and its early settlers the fed
eral government has already named one
of its naval vessels Machias.
The story Of the battle. called by
Fenimore Cooper "the Lexington of
Late in April, 1775. the people of
Machias heard flying, uncertain re-
ports of the battle of Lexington, and
after receiving the proclamation of the

preparations incident to a state of
hostility, a town meeting was called:

undaunted refusal was made. even
though Capt. Moore returned to his ves-

This, with other developments, led
to a secret meeting in the woods which

SCALP TROUBLE FOR YEARS

ticed small punches on my scalp which
commenced to itch and / would
scratch them and In time they got
larger, forming a scale or scab with a
little pus, and chunks Of hair would
come out when l would scratch them
off. 1t caused me to lose most Of my
hair. 1t became thin and dry and life
less. | was troubled for over ten
years with 1t until 1t goS so bad | was
ashamed to go to a barber to get my
hair cut.
Il tried everything I could get hold
Of, - and -, but received no
cure until l commenced using Cuticu-
r "a Soap and Ointment when the scale
commenced to disappear. The way l
used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment
was to wash my scalp twice a day

and rub on the Cuticura Ointment. I
received benefit in a couple of weeks
and was cured in two months"

alone. wearing a very long skirt, and
blowing her way slowly towards the
summit. They could hardly believe
their eyes, for the climb is no child's
play, and both watched in horror, ex-
pecting every moment to see her fall.
They dared not call to her, for fear
Of frightening and causing her to
slip.
Hurrying as fast as they could,
they caught her up. and found she
was an American. Mr.. Grande asked
her what brought her there, and she
answered that she had followed the
path marked in the guide book, and
that she meant to come down by the
sleighs.
"Sleighs?" asked Mr.. Grande, much
puzzled. She pulled out the guide
book. and showed the following SEN

slopes"
Mr.. Grande quietly explained that
this meant coming down on ones own
feet. with mountaineering boots and
an ice ak to regulate the speed, or
stop altogether. If necessary; and the
explanation not only surprised but
frightened her badly. The end of it
was that Mr.. Grande had practically
to carry the foolish woman down fol-
a matter of 1000 feet.

AeropIane Kept as Memento.

All that is left of the historic
Wright biplane with which Calbraith
p. Rodgers flew from the Atlantic to
the Pacific two years ago is to be pre-
scented to the Carnegie museum at
Pittsburgh by the late aviator's moth
er. The machine vas badly damaged
when Rodgers fell to his death in the
Pacific ocean a short time after COM
pleting his wonderful flight. Subse-
quently it was used by Andrew Drew
until that aviator also vas killed with
it. The machine has been restored to
its original condition. Both Rodgers
and Fowler's Wright machines have
motors of but 30-horsepower, yet they
flew across the continent in opposite
directions at a time when the aero
plane had not been equipped with the
100-horsepower motor of today, which
makes it much more stable, nor had
1t developed anywhere near the speed
of which it has since shown itself to
be capable.

TRAGEDIES OF ALPS
Many Lives Lost in Attempting
Their Ascent.
Death Roll Averages Between Sixty
and Seventy Per Year-Danserous
Climb Of an American
Woman Related.

London.-"High places are homes OF
ancient worship. Ascent is a onse-
Grated type of labor with an exceed
ing great reward"
! So wrote the late Nj. Donald Rob-
ertson in the Alpine Journal. And he,
one of the finest climbers, who had
travelled the Alps from end to end,
was killed about four years ago while
leading a party up a comparatively in
significant Welsh mountain.
Most mountaineering accidents oc
cur in Switzerland, and the death
roll of the Alps has now risen to an
average of between 60 and 70 yearly,
while another 300 people are more
or less seriously injured. In n year
$4,000, the number of the killed was
no less than 119.
Examine the published statistics OF
these accidents, and two points strike
you. First, that comparatively few
of the tragedies recorded occur at
great heights or in VIGOROUSLY difficult
places; secondly, that a large ma
iority Of the victims are women or
very young men.
A third point is that in go per cent.
of cases they were climbing without
guides.
The fact is that ignorance or reck-
lessness account for by far the great
er number of Alpine accidents. Peo-
pie who have, perhaps, never climbed
before in their lives start out to
ascend mountains with which they are
totally u~nacquainted. In most cases
they are physically unfit for the Sc,
we're exertion entailed by climbing,
and very often they are not properly
clothed or equipped for the expedi,
ton.
An instance in point is given by
Mr.. Julian Grande, a well-known mem.
Der of the Alpine club. Accompanied
by a friend, he was climbing the
Schlithorn, a respectable peak Of about
10, 900 feet in the Barnese Overland,
At a great height, he noticed in the
snow the track OF a small boot, evil
IDENTIFY a lady's. This was sufficiently
astonishing, but the amazing point
was that there were no signs of nails
in the boots.
AS they approached the summit they
suddenly caught sight of a woman

WONDERED WHY.

Many pale, sickiy persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer SO,
and eventually discover that the drug
-caffeine-in coffee is the main cause
of the trouble.

and drank it every day. / never had
much flesh and often wondered why I
