Revolutionary War Claims.

j. Julian Heath, OF Seal Cove, was in
Augusta last week in the interests OF his
claim for 200 acres OF State land appro-
toned to Maine soldiers OF the Revolu-
tionary war, to which he claims to be en-
titled as a direct descendant Of q Revolu-
tionary soldier who had never filed his
claim. Numerous others Of these soldiers
neglected to file their claims, and Mr..
Heath thinks that enough Of the land re-
mains to more than satisfy his claim.
The State OF Maine in the 20s author
lied the State land agent to deed the lands
to the soldiers or their descendants. Mr..
Heath. in the last legislature, secured the
passage OF a supplementary measure CIV
ing him the right to such land as might
be found remaining from that Revo-
,utionary allotment. 1t is understood
that his land, il located and proved by
him. with the stumpage, etc., Will
represept q considerable sum.
The matter OF locating may not De an
easy matter, because the land once
records in some instances are not COM
pIete. and it will be q difficult matter to
trace out all the old plots and lots OF that
time.

Country Doc, or Found
the Right liniment.

"Down East" as they say OF Maine,
there lived good old Doctor Abner John
son. 1t was in q little country town
where every family knew the value OF
keeping q good Imminent on hand.
They were hard orking people, often
exposed to cold. and nearly everybody had
the "rheumatiz", especially muscular
rheumatism, and hard work gave them
sprains, bruises and such pains.
The doctor studied and experimental
and finally found recipe for q liniment
that took the pain right out OF all these
ais. II somehow seems to get right at
the trouble ana takes the pains away
quick. Yet it is SO harmless you can take
II inside as we'll as rubbing it on the skin.
30 the recipe found ny good ola Doctor
Abner johnson was put up in bottles and
called "Johnson's Anodyne Liniment".
Probably you have heard OF 1t many times.
whenever you want q good Imminent re-
member to bus .'Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment'. the recipe of old Doctor Abner
johnson. 1t can be bought wherever
medicines are sold.

Embellishments
Two GOOD REMEDIES
Working Well Together, Produce
Marvellous Results.
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Peptiron
Pills as a Course Of Treatment.

For instance, Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the standard blood purifier, is recon-
mended for conditions that are scrof-
nlous or dependent on impure blood.
Peptiron Pills, the new iron tonic,
are especially recommended for con-
ditions that are anemic and nervous.
Many persons suffer from combi-
nation of these conditions. They are
afflicted with swellings Of the glands,
punches in the neck, eruptions, and
sores on the body, limbs and face,
and are besides pale and nervous.
If these patients take both Hoods
Sarsaparilla and Peptiron Pills they
are reasonably sure to derive four
fold benefit. These two great medi-
zines supplement each other, and the
use Of both, even in cases where only
one may appear to be indicated, is Of
great advantage. Get them from
your druggist.

WALL STREET AT WORK.
The Big Morning Rush, the LuII and
the Afternoon Squirt,


the Afternoon Squirt.
Wall street comes to work late, the
mail is opened 80 hosts of problems
present themseltS, therein for adjust
ment. If Wall street works onvv five
hours 1t works under pressure. Its
telephone is the busiest In the world,
and Wall streets chief telephone ex-
change has a most cratic traffic move
ment.
Up to 8 In the morning the number
Of calls passing through the various
branch exchanges in Wall street would
make the telephone Of any rural VII
lage ashamed of itself. Yet they ham
die between 9:45 and 1918 in the
morning the greatest number Of calls
Of any telephone exchange, and in the
terms Of the traffic engineers the peak
Of the load is reached. Naturally %his
Is explained by the telephone CONVEX
sations incident to the giving Of orders
before the opening Of the market and
the handling Of inquiries which arise
from the opening prices on the New
York Stock Exchange.
Between noon and Wall street gets
hungry, makes engagements and goes
to lunch. After that has been ar
ranged the telephone operators get q
rest.
Having eaten a comfortable lunch,
talked about the mornings business
and lighted good cigar over a cup Of
black coffee, Wall streets mind again
concentrates on the market, and the
telephone load Immediately begins to
rise and soar upward, while the ac-
tivity, which usually marks the stock
market from 2:30 until the closing at
8, Is in progress. However, the after
noon peak does not reach the morning
peak load.
After 3, Wall street puts on its hat
and goes home, leaving the myriads
Of clerks, stenographers and book
keepers to straighten out the tangles
and clean up the mess which the days
business has brought. There Is little
time for telephone talk. Everybody
wants to get home. and In consequence
the number Of calls declines sharply
up to 8, then fades away for the rest
Of the night.-Wall Street Journal.

The first victorious step in Con-
gress in recent years towards national
constitutional prohibition was on De-
cember %, 1914, when Captain Rich
mond P. Hobson made his last great
speech in congress for the passage Of
the bill he had introduced for prohibit
tion, and the vote of the House of
Representatives which followed re-
suited in a majority of eight in favor
of the bill.
The next step was on Dec. 16, 1915,
in the new Saith congress, when Sena-
tor Morris Sheppard introduced his
joint resolution in the senate for ma
tional constitutional prohibition, and
Senator Gallinger later introduced the
same. The resolution was referred to

1t SHOWS, and softly now mantle
white has covered all the land;
The tiny flakes like pearls fill all
the air, as, falling from our
Fathers hand,
They come fluttering, dancing, like so
many birds at play,
But day and night, SO fast they
come, they cover all our way.
The bleak, forbidding hills of winter
time are hidden from our sight,
And now in place of shadows dark,
and cheerless ways, we have the
purest white.
We hear The merry tinkle of the bells
ut night, from passing sleds and
sleighs.
And clearer yet we hear the happy
shouts Of boys and girls enjoying
winters ways. -
No voice of nature now is heard in all
the land, which seems so free
from care,
Save smothered gurglings of the
water meath the ice, and faintest
chirp of snow-bird here and there !;
Far down beneath the blanket now of
crystal white all nature rests and
sleeps,
But some bright day the sun will
roll the blanket back from the
Treasures which it keeps.
From out its bed so soft and warm
each crocus then will lift its
little head,
And every hill and mountain side
will soon with carpets green be
spread.
Each tree will then burst forth with
life anew and don a mantle of
the richest green,
And from their midst you II hear the
sweetest songs e'er sung by
birds, contented and unseen.
And can it be that He who planned
the seasons which SO swiftly
come and go,
Will not protect us by his loving
care as He's protected nature by
the snow?
And may we not just walk with Him
some day beside the stream of
life,
And hear Him tell us how He
watched Ger us through all our
toll and strife?
Then trustfully I'll leave to Him the
many things which He has moi
revealed,
Just trusting that the mantle of His
