port Friday to attend the funeral of Mrs. Grif-
fms aunt. Mrs Rose Rich.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Perkins of Milo are at

Miss Ellis of the Maine Missionary society

very interesting and it is to be regretted that

was a great success. Over ten dollars were
cleared.
Mrs. Rose Whitehouse of Bucksport, with
Mrs. Orila Shute and Mrs. Kate Staples, took
the afternoon train last Thursday for Dover
to attend the funeral of their brother, Mr..
John Sanborn, who died after short illness of
pneumonia.
The house and barn owned and occupied by
Geo. A. Croker were totally destroyed by fire
last Friday afternoon. The fire started from
some unknown cause in the barn, and when
help arrived the house was all in flames and it
was impossible TO save any of the contents.
Mrs. Croker had gone to one of the neigh
bors, and Mr.. Croker, who was at work near
by, noticed smoke, and looking up discovered
the fire coming from the barn. The high
north wind blowing at the time made quick
work of the set of buildings and spread to the
woods across the road. The wood shed adj
joining the house, owned by M. S. Richards
and occupied by Frank Heath, caught from
flying cinders, but was quickly extinguished,
as was woodpie near the buildings of M. j.
Turner. Every man in the place turned out
to fight the fire and several came in automo-
biles from Stockton Springs and finally sue
ceeded in extinguishing it, much to the relief
of those living IN that vicinity. Much SYM
pathy is felt for Mr.. and Mrs. Croker, who
returned from Augusta only few days ago,
where they had spent the winter. Fortu nate
ly the team had been let for the afternoon and
the cows were in the pasture, which, with the
clothes they had on, is all they have left.

WALTHAM, Mass, April 20. The resig-
nation of Judge Enos T. Luce of the
district court here, the oldest judge in
point OF service on the Massachusetts
bench, has been accepted by Governor
Mccall. Judge Luce, who is 81 years
old, was born in Wilton, Me-, and was
formerly Judge of Probate in andre
scoggin County, Maine.
This will interest the students of the old
Lewiston Falls academy. of which Judge
Luce was principal in 1867, and per-
haps later. In the years mentioned the
writer was a student there. Edwin Pond
Parker, later Congregational clergy
man and for fifty years pastor of church

and had the classes in French and Latin.

have passed away, and among them were

The Brandeis nomination is still held
up in committee. Is not the fact that
an investigation of his professional con-
duct was called for, whether the charges
brought against him were substantiated
or not, sufficient grounds for declaring
the appointment unfit. His appointment
was clearly a political one, made to
further President Wilson's campaign for
reelection, and no one should want to
see the Supreme Court of the United
States thus prostituted. Mr.. Taft was
the logical candidate, and his appointment
was asked for by leaders of both politi-
cal parties and by the National Bar AS
sociation. He was never politician;

.PEPSIN AND IRON
AND SARSAPAR|LLA
Finest Course of Spring Medicine.

Physicians and pharmacists have
long known the desirability of COM
blning iron-a superlative tonic-in a
blood-purifying, building-up medicine.
The combination of the iron with
Hoods Sarsaparilla has now been Sc
cured through the happy thought of
prescribing Peptiron Pills to be taken
in connection with the Sarsaparilla-
one before eating, the other after.
In this way the two medicines work
tremendously and benefcially, each
experimenting the other and giving
four-fold result in blood-cleansing
and up-building.
Peptiron Pills also include pepsin
besides iron, note the name, Pept-
iron Pills,-and other tonics.
What better course Of medicine can
you imagine for Spring? You get
blood-purifying, appetite giving quail
ties in Hoods Sarsaparilla and great
tonic properties in Peptiron Pills.
Buy these medicines today.

An interesting feature of the European
war last week was the arrival in France
of large numbers of Russian troops to
reinforce the western battle line. Fight
ing around Verdun has continued, with
heavy losses to the Germans and no SUBJ
stantial gains. The Russians continue
TO gain in the east and there is little
change in the situation elsewhere. Ger
anany's reply to the American note has
not been received, but it is said that
Berlin hopes to avoid break with this
country. The Mexican muddle continues.
