The English sparrows along Water
street are now up to their eyes in bus
mess in setting up spring housekeep-
ing and from now until late in the
coming season there will be lively
times in sparrowdom. All through the
winter months these birds live peace
ably (for English sparrows) in fiocks
along Water street. and the observer
in watching them feeding from day to
day gets the impression that to each
member of the flock all other sparrows
look alike. In the early spring, how
ever, when the sun begins to run high
and warm up the earth bit, this 95
per cent. spirit of harmony vanishes
and the sparrows, probably imbued
with the same spirit which prompted
the poet to write I'm the spring a
young mans fancy etc, find them
selves in no end of trouble. and to all
appearances go looking for it. The
mating season is one of trouble be-
cause of the rivalry that is sure to ex-
ist among the cock sparrows. If all
these little fighters, each Of which
wears a black vest during the breed
ing season, although during the win
ter months the mark is barely distin-
guishable, could select the little hen
which suited his fancy and set up
housekeeping, whole lot of trouble
might be avoided. but that is not the
nature of the bird. 1t often happens
that three or more cocks get "sweet"
on the same little hen and the one
which gets her has got to win her by
fighting off the other suitors, and ev-
ereryone familiar with the habits of
English sparrows knows what these
fights are. Oftentimes. too. the hen
is apt to be coy. and he has, in addi-
ton to driving off the other sparrows,
to gain her favor before he can set
up housekeeping with her behind some
convenient street sign. Just at pres
ent the counting season is in full blast,
although judging from the number of
sparrows which are engaged in carry
ing wisps of hay and straw and pieces
of string to prospective nesting places
many of the differences and rivalries
must have been settled.

Some concern is felt among those
who know Of the fact in regard to the
west pier of the Kennebec bridge be-
cause of separation which exists
between the capstone which supports
the west end of the iron railing on
the north side of the bridge and the
granolithic sidewalk which comes out
TO the edge of the west abutment.
The separation between the stone and
the sidewalk, which is about an inch
in width at its eastern end and eX-
tends for some little distance in to-
ward Water street, is understood to
have occurred last Tuesday afternoon
at the time that the ice came down
from below the Kennebec dam and
jammed at the bridge. and to have
been due to a mass of heavy ice strik-
ing the west pier. While the pier it
self is said to be strong enough it is
believed that the foundation is not
secure, because of its lateral support
having been washed away at the time
of the big freshets of 1896 and 1901.
1t is probable that in view of the oc-
currence of the past week that an
examination of the foundation of the
pier will in the near future be made
by a submarine diver preparatory to
such repairs being made as may be
found necessary.

An Advertised Store is Always Under

A store that prospers under the full

a GOOD STORE.
The store conducted on business
principles akin to those of Assyrian
peddlers could not survive "the ad-

The store which adheres to no fixed
standard of service or of values would
fail, through advertising, far more
quickly than otherwise.
For advertising fixes public attention
upon a store-upon its service, upon
it's policies, upon its special price-cut-
ting sales; and these must stand the
test" or the store itself will fail.

.Catarrh Leads
To Consumption
It Requires a Blood Remedy--Hoods
SarsapariIa is the Best.

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may be
relieved, but it cannot be removed by
simply local treatment. 1t causes mead
ache and dizziness, impairs the taste,
smell and hearing, and aHects the
voice, hurts the stomach, deranges the
digestion and breaks down the general
health. One of it's worst effects is the
weakening of the delicate lung tissues
which leads to consumption.
Old reliable Hoods Sarsapariila is
found to be of great service in the
treatment of catarrh. 1t goes to the
seat Of the trouble. purifies the blood
and is so successful that 1t Is known
as the best remedy for this common
disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens and
tones the whole system. 1t builds up.
