Should you be confronted in your
voyage by the frowning rocks, the Scyl-
la of selfishness and the Charybdis of
unfaithfulness, take firm hold of the
rudder and make for the open sea-there
is safety out where the depths are infin-
lite below you and infinite above you.
1t is our wish and hope that after
many years of sailing over placid seas
and under unclouded skies that you may
make the sheltered bay of Old Age, and
there may summer seas lap lazily at
your boat as it swings at anchor, and
may summer winds play laughingly with
the loosened sails while you rest and
wait little and recall the days that are
past before hosting sail for your last
long voyage to the unknown.
We realize that in making this voyage
there were many little tips you would
have to pay, that you would need few
flowers for your state-room, and so we,
your friends, have brought you this lit
tie bag OF gold which will pass current
in any cline. We do it not simply that
you may have the flowers and pleasing
knicknacks, but as slight token of our
friendship for you. We commit this to
the care of-not you, Captain-but to
the First Mate May every coin be
found as genuine as we believe the piety
OF him to be for whom they are given.

A Dramatic Situation.

Beau Brummel was once sitting at a
table with one Bligh, who was known
to be insane. The Beau, having lost
considerable stake, affected, in his
farcical way, very tragic air and
cried out, waiter, bring me fiat can
dlestick and a pistol" Upon which
Bligh, who was sitting opposite to
him, calmly produced two loaded pis-
tolls from his coat pocket, which he
placed on the table, and said. "Mr.
Brummel, if you are really DESTROYS to
put period to your existence l am
extremely happy to offer you the
means without troubling the waiter"
The effect upon those present may be
easily imagined at finding themselves
In the company of known mailman
who had loaded weapons about him.

A RECEPTION
Given Rev. w. R. Hamlin and Bride

About one hundred of the parishioners
and townspeople gathered at the Cong'l
parsonage last Friday evening and gave
Mr.. and Mrs. Hamlin and Mrs. Chandler
reception. The house had recently
been renovated in the interior and the
new paint and paper and general fixing
up puts the manse in fine order and made
it an ideal place for a gathering of this
kind. The "guests of honor" were in
troduced to the people and after social
hour there was singing by the famous
Hyde Park Inn Quartette, answers to
questions of a matrimonial character pro-
pounded by Prof. Simpson, with violin
"obligato' accompaniment by Supt.
Crosby and then came some "sugges-
tions" written out on hearts and read
aloud by Prof. Simpson. AS these latter
all pertained to the bridal couple they
were productive of much mirth. A bag
of gold, fifty dollars, contributed by the
townspeople, was presented to Mr.. and
Mrs. Hamlin, the presentation speech
being made by R. w. Hulburd In a very
felicitous manner, to which the parson
feelingly responded. Refreshments of
ice cream and cake completed very in
teresting and enjoyable occasion.
Following are Mr.. Hulburd's presenta-
ton remarks:-

great adventure, an adventure which
some of us have made with great fear
and trembling, an adventure which some
of the rest of us are hopefully contem-
plating, namely of setting sail on the
uncertain sea of matrimony, felt that
before you had been waited too far from
the shores of single blessedness, while
you could yet see the waving hand and
handkerchief, we were moved to gather
here and bid you God-speed and wish
you a happy voyage. We are not all
sailors some of us would be sea-sick in
walking draw-bridge, but others of us
have been under sail 10 these many
years on the restless bosom of this sea. |

EXPLAINS WHY MEN
ARE GROWING BALD

Thousands of men are growing
bald every day and don't know the
reason why Many of them never
expect to save even what hair is left
This is indeed a pity, says a spec
ialist because badness usually comes
from carelessness and anyone who
gives the scalp little attention
should always have an abundance of
good healthy hair. Dust and dirt
help to cause badness by clogging
the pores in the scalp and giving the
dandruff germs fertile ground for
breeding
The treatment is very simple:
Shampoo at least once in ten days
and destroy the dandruff' germs by
applying frequently Partisan Sage. a
delightfully."- efficient preparation that

On Friday evening occurred the
death of Mrs. Charles A. Whiting,
which came as a shock to everyone
as no one thought her to be in a
very serious condition though she
was known to be very sick. Mrs.
Whiting was before her marriage
Miss Mary Bates of Oakland, the
daughter of Asa B. and Azuba Bates.
She was born Aug. Goth, 1884 in Fair
field and at the age of sixteen moved
with her parents to Oakland where
she attended the public schools and
afterwards taught in the town of
Fairfield On July 18th, 1871 she
was united in marriage to Charles A.
whiting of this town and has always
resided here since her marriage and
has had the highest esteem of all
with whom she came in contact. At
very early age Mrs. Whiting joined
the Baptist Church at Oakland and
after her marriage became an active
member of the Baptist church of this
town giving her assistance in all
ways especially with the music, as
she did at all places with the music,
as she possessed an unusually sweet
alto voice. She was also an active
member of the Village Improvement
Society as ding as her health would
allow and valued member of Som
erset Rebekah lodge and of Cedar
Chapter, o. E. S. Mrs. Whiting was
of very quiet disposition and her
home was always her first thought.
She has been in poor health for a
number of years but during the past
year has been in very poor health but
until the last two days of her life
was able to be about her room. the
end coming at last from Brights dis
ease. She leaves besides her hus-
band four sisters, Mrs. Ellen Moore
of Dexter, Mrs. Mabel Fessenden,
Miss Julia Bates and Miss Lillian
Bates of Waterville and one brother,
Henry e. Bates of Oakland all of
whom were present at the funeral
services excepting Mrs. Moore who
was unable to come on account OF
poor health. Besides the family just
mentioned present were Edwin Whit
ing and wife of Skowhegan and Wal
ter A. Farr, Esq. of Boston. The
funeral services were held from her
tate home on Monday morning at ten
thirty conducted by her pastor, Rev.
John Trites of the Baptist church as
sisted by r. l.. Sheaff of the Congre-
gational church who was neighbor
and friend of the deceased. The oral
offerings were very beautiful and
showed in a small degree the place
Mrs. Whiting held in the hearts OF
her friends. The body was placed in
the receiving tomb and later will be
buried in the family lot in this town
