Smell, wife, two sons, and one daugh-
ter. -Four generations of the same
family have occupied the home. Will
liam Smell built it 60 years ago or
more. Leon had within the past few
years made the house all over, adding
another story and building a piazza.
He also built new barn and a ga
rage for his auto. That was saved, as
it is across the road from the house.
The wife woke up and thought she
smelled smoke Sunday. Mr.. Smell went
down stairs to look at the fires. On
opening a cupboard door by the Chin
ney he found it aflre. They found the
daughter asleep in her room upstairs
with the room full of smoke. She had
a narrow escape from suffocation. At
one time the fire seemed to be under
control.
The barn alone cost $25oo The in
surance was s2500 on all. 1t Is esti-
mated that the buildings cannot be
replaced for less than $4,000. The
cattle, horses and farm tools were saw
ed, with the exception of a wagon un-
der the barn. Enough furniture was
saved to furnish one room. The daugh-
ter and one son are students at Leav-
lit High school. The daughter Is in

ASKS ANULLMENT
OF DIVORCE FROM
DEAD HUSBAND,

Portland, Me-, Feb. 16.-Perhaps one
of the most unusual cases heard in a
Maine court for a number of years
was petition of Mrs Sarah Elizabeth
Chase of South Portland, which was
given a hearing before Justice Bird
of the supreme court Monday.
Mrs. Chase asked that the decree
whereby she had been divorced from
John Chase be annulled, The reason
given was that she might obtain the
pension allowed the widow of a Civil
War veteran. The two were married
some nine years ago but three years
later John Chase brought suit for di-
vorce on the ground of desertion. It
was granted. Mr.. Chase entered the
Soldiers Home at Togus. where he
died six years ago. Mrs. Chase, in set
ting up a ground for granting her pc
tition, declares that service of the no.
tice Of the divorce suit was not prop
erly made She says the notice was
given to her mother, who in turn
gave 1t to her, on her return from
Massachusetts. The Chases made their
home in South Portland. The whole
case had gone TO the law court.
1t is thought this is the first case
bringing out such unusual points in
a Maine court.

A BATH FIRE
Called Out Fire Department in Biz'
zard-Hoekomoek's Hard Trip.

Bath, Me-. Feb. 16.-The Bath fire
department had a call between l and
2 o'clock Sunday morning In the
midst of the most terrible storm the
city has seen for years. The tobacco
shop of Edward Warner, corner Of
Water and King streets, was ablaze
and the force answered the call in a
very short time. The store was badly
gutted by fire and water.
Saturday was a wild day for the
ferryboat Hockomock, which plies be-
tween the Bath and WoolWich shores.
Purser Edward Stinson said that he
had never in his life experienced any
thing like it. The boat started at 6
o'clock from Bath to make flying
trip" as it is called, across the Ken
nebec. The storm was severe, it was
black as pitch and so bitter cold that
when Mr.. Stinson attempted to go
out onto the deck. Ice formed on his
face and he was obliged TO get under
shelter Immediately. For solid hour
the boat tried to make the dock on
the Woolwich side. Huge cakes of
ice sent her down stream as far as
Sasanoa Bluffs. The landing was final
ly made without any serious damage.

PINkLETS
To Clear the c Complexion.

One result of constipation is to dis
figure the complexion with pinpaes and
blotches This is because poisons which
should have been expelled from the body
are retained. Cosmetics and ointme1its
will not avail to clear such complexion.
The poisons which cause the disfigura-
tion must be removed az nature intended
To do this laxative that will gently
assist nature, but which will cause no re-
acting constipation to aggravate the
trouble, is needed.
Pinklets the dainty new laxative,
quickly clear away all offending matter
without the least gripping or discomfort
So simple is their composition that they
can be taken with any other medicine
that is not in itself laxative. In every
household such simple, safe medicine
is needed. Pinklets are tiny, sugar-coat'
ed granuIes, easy to take. Your OWE
druggist can supply you. Sold in q
cent bottles only.
Pinklets are a corrective for bad
breath, will clear the complexion. and
are recommended for torpid liver, bill
iousness, headaches, constipation and
