STORM VOICES.

The spirits of storm all their powers engaging.
In piling huge mounds still higher and

The leaping and dancing and frolicsome prattle
OF the demons of storm in merciless battle,
listen, and muse by the bright winter fire
Though fortune to me has allotted secusion.
Remote from the worlds gay throng and con.
And the wild, bowling storm forbidden intru-

Sweet memory can distance and storm king

There's a voice of song in the firelight's soft

And on her bright pinions to dreamland

Then laughing and cheering and moaning and

Whose ripple and bubble a welcome is singing
To warm southern breezes now loomingly

THE NICKELS WILL CASE.
Petition of Fred S. Thompson on Which
a Hearing will be Held in the Probate
Court March IS, 1916.

The petition of Fred S. Thompson OF
Chicago, one of the heirs of the late Mrs.
Henrietta T. Nickels of Searsport. to
vacate the decree allowing her alleged
will, states that he was induced by fraud
to sign a petition for the probate of said
alleged will, and that later he notified the
probate court, by his counsel, of his wish
to withdraw as petitioner, and to appear
as remonstrant against the allowance of
said will. The petitioner further says
that on or about Nov. 20, 1918, the said
Henrietta i. Nlckels, signed will In the
presence of two witnesses; that said in
strument was defective by statute as
will; that IN 1911 she had executed in due
form will which was not found after
her death, but copy of which was al
lowed; that the petitioner did not know
the true facts of the case; namely, that
Ipez N. Carver and Blanche T. Colcord
were not legally adopted daughters of
Mrs. Nickels, and were not legal heirs or
next of kin to her; that petitioner re-
quests that he may withdraw as petition
er and that ne may become a remon-
strant to the allowance of said alleged
will; he further alleges that by said in
strument of 1911 which has been illegally
and wrongtully allowed by this court, he
is given but $4,000, whereas, if said in
strument had been refused probate he
would have taken one-sixth part of the
property of said Henrietta T. Nickels, as
heir at law by inherit nee under the
statute, to the amount of about 500, 600,
and he has been denied the protection
guaranteed him as citizen of the United
States by the fifth amendment to the
constitution of the United STATES. Where
fore, the petitioner says thai the decree
of this court allowing said alleged will is
null and void, ard prays that the court
will vacate said decree, will amend its re-
cords, will remove his name as petitioner
from said petition to probate said alleged
will, will enter his name as remonstrant,
and will on such further hearing as the
court may order, deny the petition for
the allowance of said alleged will of 1911.
Judge Henry W. Swazey of Portland
was in Belfast March LIST in conference
with Judge James Libby of the Probate
Court in regard to the hearing on the
Nickels will case, which has been again
postponed, from March 18th to the April
term of the probate court.

REQUIRED for Health and Beauty.

1t is surprising that it is necessary to repeat
again and again that the health and beauty of
the skin require that the blood shall be pure.
If the arteries of the skin receive impure
blood pimples and blotches appear. and the
individual suffers from humors. Powders and
other external applications are sometimes
used for these affections, but will never have
the desired effect while the causes of impure
blood remain.
The indications are very clear that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the most successful medicine
for purifying the blood, removing pimples and
blotches, and giving health and beauty to the
skin. It gives tone to all the organs and builds
up the whole system. Insist on having Hoods
Sarsaparilla wien you ask for it. Don't take
anything else.
