Bath Man Attacked
By a L0upcervier

Bath, Me-, March 13.-While in
Somerset county forest recently, L. G.
Abbott, who is making a visit to his
lumber camps In this vicinity this
week, had a rather exciting experience,
a s he was driving alone through tote
road in the northern part of the
county.
Suddenly, while he was driving
through a heavily wooded region, a
Icupcervier several feet long leaped
from the overhanging branch of tree
upon him. Mr.. Abbott felt, rather than
saw the animal spring, and just astthe
animal landed, he pulled from his coat
pocket a revolver and fired into his
head.
The loupcervier fell backward over
the side of the vehicle and Mr.. Abbott,
using the whip freely on his horse
FASTENED to put as much distance as
possible between himself and the
brute He did not even look back 10
see whether or not the loupcervier was
hurt or killed.
Some time previous to this episode
in that county, a butcher was driving
along with a load of meat in a covered
wagon. A loupcervier sprang, in SINH
lar fashion, and had clawed and bitten
his way through the canvas covering
and had made off with a big junk OF
fresh meat, before the butcher was
aware of what was happening.

HOultOn WOman's
9th Birthday

Houlton, Me, March 13.-Mrs. John
w. Scribner of this town, who has just
passed her 9th birthday, is one of the
most remarkable women in Maine. De-
spite her years, she has never worn
glasses and can still see plainly, even
at a long distance. Her hearing is
acute and her memory quite remark
able, even for much younger woman.
She broke her hip a few years ago.
but the bone has knit, so that she
can walk about the house and visit her
neighbors with the aid of a cane.
Mrs. Scribner. whose maiden name
was Sarah Blizzard. was born at Nc
Donalds Point, Queens county, n. b.,
in 1917. In October, 1889, she was mar
ried to Mr.. Scribner. They lived in
St. John until 1850 when they moved
to Fredericton. From there they went
to bloomsbury, Bear Island.
In 1882 Mr. and Mrs. Scribner came
to Houlton, making their home here
with their son William. In 1885 Mr..
Scrihner died, but Mrs. Scribner still
lives with her son. She was the mo-
Their of 10 children, six of whom are
still living She still enjoys her knit
ting and sent a couple of pairs of
socks, which were the product of her
own handiwork, to a friend in Cali
fornia shoSt time ago.
Mrs. Scribner's mother, Mrs. Amy
Blizzard, lived to be 107 years old and
was the mother of 16 children, eight
sons and eight daughters. Mrs. Scrib-
ner tells many interesting stories of
old times. She was a child of three
when Maine became state, and there
were no railroads, matches or kero-
sene oil, to say nothing of such modern
Innovations as the telegraph, telephone
and tango
But I think" says Mrs. Scribner,
that young people were just as happy
in my day as they are now. We wore
plain homcspun clothes and fashions
were neither as expensive, arbitrary
or ridiculous"

Common Sense
About Colds
The Only Time to be Frightened Over
Cold is When You Neglect 1t.

Thousands of people die every year
from the effects of neglected colds.
A cold, you know, is a germ disease.
We live in over-heated homes and
Offices and factories.
We travel in badly ventilated street
cars.
We dress too warmly.
And as result our skin and the
membranes of our throat and nose be-
come over sensitive
We are not able to resist the attacks
of the deadly little microbes.
The first unusual exposure to cold
or dampness opens the door and the
invading army comes in.
We begin to sneeze and cough and
shiver.
Then is the time when quick action
is necessary.
Delay means deadly danger.
La Grippe with its long train of Sc
rious after effects, pneumonia, rheu-
matisn. all follow in the train of the
neglected cold.
When you feel those first shivery
indications of a cold-aet-and act
quickly.
Ask your druggist for box of Hills
Caseara Bromide Quinine Tablets.
A few doses will knock out the cold
in twentyfour hours.
La Grippe will be cured in three days
we guarantee this.
Your money will be refunded If 1t
fails.
Hills Cascara Bromide Quinine tab
lets have been used by Cold sufferers
all over the United States for fifteen

They are positively harmless, have
no unpleasant effects and always do
their work.
You will find them in practically

Our Foreign Trade in January
And 7 Months Ended January, IA

600 and to South America about $4,000
00G.
Our best customers in January, 1914,
as well as in the seven months ended
with January, 1914, We're the United
Kingdom, Germany, Canada. and
France in the order named, and they
retained the relative positions held
by them in the corresponding periods
of the preceding year. Our aggregate
trade with the United Kingdom in jan
uary of this year exceeded SS4000,00O,
an increase of nearly s3,000,0o0 over
January of last year, and the increased
sales to that country were even great
err than the increased total trade as
imports therefrom fell off about $780,
600. Germany, with a total trade eX-
ceeding $5060o, 600 in January, 1914, al
so shows increased trade over jan
uary, 1918, the gain being about $4,000
600. With Germany also the increase
in sales thereto, amounting to about
3,400, 900, is greater than the increase
in total trade. Trade with the United
Kingdom in the seven months period
under consideration shows a decrease
in the aggregate approximating ST.
600, 600 of which less than IS, 100000 is
in our sales thereto. In the same pc
Rod, trade with Germany increased
about s17,500, 600 in the aggregate, while
our exports to that country increased
over S23, 500, 000 Thus, trade with our
two best customers the two largest
manufacturing countries of the world
with which we have to deal, shows
increasing balances favoring the Unit
ed States, both for the month of jan
uary and for the seven months end
ed with January, 1914.
With Canada and France, our trade
shows q decrease in the aggregate in
January, 1914, as compared with Janu-
ary. 1913 although there is an increase
of about $4,000, 600 in our purchases
from Canada In the seven months
ended with January. 1914, however, our
total trade with Canada, approNimat-
ing 5000, 400, 600, showed an increase of
about 81 400, 900 over the corresponding
months of the previous year, although
the balance of trade in our favor was
considerably reduced, being little less
than $114.000,000 as compared with
about s161 100000. With France, trade
for the seven months period shows,
in the aggregate, an increase OF about
IS, zoe. 900, the total being over s202,o00
600. and the balance or trade in favor
of the United States also shows gain,
being about s16,200000 as compared
with $12 400, 900 in the seven months
ended January. 1913.
