No mother ever had more devoted and
loyal sons, and il is trle, as one has said
who know her well, ssShe was an ideal
mother; every interest..of her children was
hers, and her love for them and pride in
their success we're beauti ri to see."
To these sons, once again among the
scenes Of their childhood. the sympathy
OF the friends who love them and OF the
entire community 10 extended In their
oereavement.

bring to the city many from the neigh

Miss Nathalie Young underwent an
operation for appendicitis at her home in
Trenton last Thursday. The case was q
critical one, and her condition Is still seri-
Gus. Her many Ellsworth friends hope
there may soon be . change for the bet
ter. Miss Young was taken Ill while in
Kenduskeag short time sgo. She was
III there two weeks, and then came to her
home to recuperate before entering q
hospital for an operation. Last Wednes-
day she was taken suddenly i'll. and an
immediate operation wa, deemed neces-
sary.
The Baptist fair is being held in the
yestry to-day and to- morrow. The room
has been transformed, by the skillful touch
OF the ladies' aid society, into place OF

and white have been used with pleasing
effect The usual articles OF fancy work,

The c. w. Mason house, purchased by
Frank K. Moore and being moved from its
former location on High street to MIR.
Moore's lot on School street, made good
progress up High street, down Main street
and into School street, to opposite the
rear OF Hancock hall, where its further
progress was stopped Monday by two
large elm trees on opposite sides OF the
street, which could not be passed with
out taking of part OF the house or
sacrificing large limbs from the trees.
There was immediate protest on the part
Of many citizens against Dissertation Of
the trees. The Ellsworth woman's club, at
its meeting Tuesday afternoon, took ac-
tion in the matter, unanimously endorsing
q petition to the mayor and municipal
officers against allowing the trees 10 be
mutilated. Mr.. Moore solved the prob
lem by cutting q piece off the house, and
the building is again moving merrily
along to-day. Mr.. Moore has also pur-
chased the Stevens house on Righ street,
and may move ii later, or tear it down
and rebuild on his School street lot.

human soul is scared with its
burden of agony.
When God created the heavens

manity with the presence Of
snakes and other Shiny and oozy

objects of loathing.
And He also inflicted US with
the gossip-for what reason only
He in His superior wisdom can
tell.
Is there a hereafter for the
gossip?
And If so, where is it?
Heaven won't have them, and
hell don't want them.
Are they to pass down through
the ages of eternity as a people
without a final place of abode?
Or are they, like the reptile, a
thing without soul?
The question is too deep for
the human mind to solve.
But perhaps the gossip can tell.

Thoughts Of an
Idle Hour.


Webster tells us that a gossip
IL a person who runs about tell
ing and hearing news"
But Webster was a chivalrous
gentleman, and times have
changed since his day. His defin-
ition of a gossip has become
weak and lacking in descriptive
force.
But common consent is more
up to date, more accurate and
| Just in its verdict, and by COM
mon consent the professional Cos
sip has been designated as a
thing in human shape with more
mouth than brains.
The small town gossip can do
more harm in one hour than a
whole community of people can
overcome in a lifetime of effort.
The gossip is the breeder OF
scandal, the wrecker of reputa-
ton and the Brighter of hopes.
The gossip is the buzzard of
society, the bane of humanity
and the advance agent of the
devil.
The gossip has but one creed,
and that is the crucifixion of in
nocent and the perpetuation of
iufamy.
The tongue of the gossip is so
forked it would bring the blush
of shame to the face of that
other reptile of the split tongue
species-the snake.
The gossip lives but to revel
in the slime of insinuations and
innuendoes and calumnieS.
Scandal is the bread of life to
the gossip, and the greatest de-
sire and most intense longing OF
the professional is for more
gossip"
The stock in trade of the gos-
sip is like the rainbow, it has no
end. 1t just keeps on going,
and charging, and crucifying
until it blights everything it en-
counters.
1t is like the breath of hell up
on the fair cheek of an angel.
The gossip's tongue begins to
wag in the morning, wags all
day, keeps on wagging into the
night, and, like cascarets, wags
while you sleep.
The gossip CONSTITUTES the idle
pastime of the innocent maiden
into the intrigues of a subtle and
poisoned brain.
If man looks twice at wo-
man, the gossip rips his charac-
ter to shreds and nails his hide
to the wall of obloquy.
The gossip NEEDLES in the pri-
vate affairs of everybody within
reach of the vitriolic tongue,
peers behind the curtains of
every home, and erects skeletons
in closets where none exist.
The tongue of the gossip is
the most poisonous and deadly
instrument of tortue in existence,
for it has no regard for truth,
veracity, or for human suffering.
The poisonous reptile strikes,
and inflicts a mercifully quick
death.
But the gossip mains, and lac
crates, and crucifies until the

Why People Read
The Advertisements.

Suddenly ask twenty people
why they read the advertise
ments in this paper every week,
and fifteen out of the twenty
will probably hesitate, and STAN
mer, and become more or less
embarrassed before they can call
to mind the Real Reason why
they read the ads.
People buy this paper and read
It for two very simple reasons,
they want to know the news Of
their home community, and they
want to know of the commercial
advantages that are placed be-
fore them each week in its ad-
yertising columns.
This paper goes out each week
to an enlightened people, to a
people who know exactly what
they want, and want to know
where they can get it.
Hence the natural course for
them to pursue in their search
for information is to turn to the
advertising columns Of this pa
per.
The live merchant knows this
the fact that he is
catering to a people ofhigh men.
tai attainment, and shapes his
business policy to meet their
commercial desires.
Such merchants live, and pros
per, and grow with the commun-
ity.
Their advertisements are con.
stautly placing the desirability
of their goods before the buyer,
and the merchant is thus brought
into contact with the buyer thru
the medium of his advertisement.
The information contained in
the advertisement saves the buy.
er the time of chasing from place
to place in search of some article
of which he stands in need.
It thus becomes 4 time saver to
the buyer, and an impulse which
spurs him on to a constant Pc
rusing of the advertising pages
of the paper.
This habit of reading the adj
vertisements is growing upon the
people day by day, for the public
realizes that it is the one and
only sure means of reducing the
killing of time" to a minimum.
These are strenuous days, and
time is money, and the well
written advertisement becomes
a thing of great value to the con-
sumer as wall as to the seller.
And of late years the consumer
has become educated up to the
standard of Expecting the mer-
chant who wants his trade to
talk to him through the medium
of his advertisement in the local
paper.
And the merchant who talks
thusly does the business.

What is known to the public and
the press as the National Prohibition
Brigade will hold sway at the Christ
ian church in this city next Sunday
evening at 1880 o'clock, when prom
inent speakers and musicians will at
tempt to arouse local public interest
to the need of abolishing the manu-
facture and importation of alcoholic
drinks in the United States.
The speakers for the occasion are
Eugene w. Chaflin, the prohibition
party's candidate for president OF the
United States in the campaign of
1908 and 1912, and former Governor
John p. st. Johns, of Kansas, who
was a candidate for president of the
United States in 1884. Both of the
above gentlement are prohibition lee
turers of national Importance, and
have al the arguments in favor of
National Prohibition at their tongues
end.
Accompanying the speakers will be
Miss Cecil Pearl Buckingham, who is
called Americas greatest prohibition
soloists. and Miss Lura Irene Haynes,
pianist and soloist.
Advance advertising of the meet
ing was done by Mr.. W. a. Branden-
burg. of Denver, who was in this city
Monday. When seen by a News re-
porter Mr.. Brandenburg had this to
say as to National Prohibition: "We
prohibitionists know fiom actual ex-
| perience and from the experience OF
men who employ great armies of men
that ones efficiency in any line OF
endeavor is greatly lessened by the
use, even the moderate use of alco-
holic beverages. 1t is not the idea o:
those behind the National Prohibition
move that one half of the nation is
desirous of directing the life and the
habits of the other half. 1t is thelI
idea that by abolishing and prohibit
ing the manufacture arr importation
of liquor into the United States, We
are helping men to help themselves
to be better, more efficient men, anC
better and more provident husbands
and fathers"
