ONE WIFE S CHARM.

| ONE WIFE CHARM.
You ask me why I'm happy when so many
wives complain,
And say their husbands only live to give
them endless pain;
My secret you demand to know, you've seen
my happy nook,
| And you quiz not little,.-remember can
cook.
When other wives are enyious, and tell my
husband dear
My gowns are very out of date, and at my
wardrobe sneer,
1 have no fear, only smile, care not how
looki
Der can cook"
My love has often said to me, "My dear,
know you're plain,
But married life with you, my sweet, has
brought me naught but gain;
Let other women sing and dance, or even
write book,
Yet you're above them all in charm-re-
member you can cookln
And always when I'm begged by girls to tell
captured such a handsome man, and won
quite all his heart,
I merely say, "My dears, I'm sure that all the
pains took
Was asking him to dinner-for remember
can cook"
And all you modern women who are anxious
to be wed,
Be wise, throw up your arts and crafts, and
learn to bake your bread;
For be certain that no husband will forget the
vows he took
II his wife will only please him by remem-
bering how to cook.

County Y. NJ. c. A. Work.

AT Southwest Harbor last week an in
teresting meeting was held, with an at
tendance of twenty-five boys. Mr..
Davies, the county secretary, carried on
with the boys an interesting and instruc-
tive discussion on profanity and slang.
The boys entered into this discussion
with great deal of interest. A rehearsal
for the mock trial was held.
Saturday afternoon the secretary
Echo lake for swimming period to-
gether. Mr.. Davies advised with the
boys who already know how to swim with
regard to ways in which they might i'm
prove, talked and demonstrated to the nom
swimmers, and gave personal instruction
in the first principles of swimming.
After short swimming period, fire was
built on the shore and steak and potatoes
cooked over the Goals. A most enjoyable
afternoon was spent, and the boys are all
looking forward to another trip. Quite a
little of the secretary's time will be given
to this work during the summer, for in
the Judgment of the county committee
this is quite an essential thing for boys to
know in section where there is SO much
water.
At Seal Harbor great deal of interest
is being conferred on a minstrel show that
is being arranged by the local Y. M. c. A.
to help defray some of the expense in
connection with the fitting of the ball
grounds at that point. The date for the
show has been set for June "a.
The men at Islesford are now busy get
ting their ball ground into shape for the
game to be played there Friday between
the home team and their old rivals, the
Cranberry Isles team. Through the kind
ness OF George R. Hadlock, fine piece of
ground has been secured. MIR. Bryant, of
the same community, kindly donated pipe
to be used in erecting a good backstop.
The group at Cranberry Isles are all on
edge this week for the game Friday.
They have been practicing almost every
evening this past week, under the leader
ship of their captain, Charles Stanley, and
the manager, Fred Bracy.
AT Islesford and Gran berry Isles this week
Mr.. Davies will give an illustrated talk on
travel trip over the Canadian Pacific
railway.

How Far Is
Ellsworth Falls?
Not So Far That the Statements OF
Its Residents Cannot BE Verified.

Rather an interesting case has been de-
veloped in Ellsworth Falls. Being so near
by, 1t Is well worth publishing here. The
statement is sincere, the proof convincing;
Mrs. r. l. Moore, Ellsworth Falls, Me-,
says: ''Some years ago, ! came home
from the hospital where had undergone
an operation. All that winter ! was
miserable with severe attack OF kidney
trouble. The pain in my back was almost
unbearabie and medicine and doctors
treatment failed to do me any COCA.
Doan's Kidney Pills, however, went di-
rectly to the seat OF the trouble, not only
curing the backsche but Strengthening
my kidneys and improving my condition
in every way"

ask for kidney remedy - get Doans
