PREMIER BORDEN

Canada is today extending congrat-

Borden, who was born at Gran Pre-,
Nova Scotia, sixty-thre years ago to-
day. It was in Halifax that Mr.. Bor-
den first attracted wide attention as
an able barrister Later he moved to
Ottawa where he began the career
that landed him at the top of the
heap among Canadian statesman. In
his youth the present premier spent
some time in the United States as a
teacher at the GlenWood Institute,
Mattawan, N. J. He became home
sick for his native land, however, and
returned to Nova Scotia. Since Bor-
den has been Premier and head of
the Conservative regime it cannot be
said that his life. has been bed of
roses. However, he has fought off
all opposition. He learned how to
fight when he himself was leader of
the Opposition and the thrusts that
he delivered then, he has learned how
to ward off now

Opera Carmen" Meets
With Difficulties

The opera Carmen" presented in
Bridgeport Sunday under the auspices
of the Ambulance company, Connecti-

yesterday when some of the scenic
effects failed to reach this city in
time for use In Polls theatre which
had been rented for the occasion.
Orchestral difficulties presented by the
orchestra which was brought from
New York by the impressario also
augmented the waits of eti1ea small
audience which was in attendance.
Reports that the company walked
out of town without being paid in
some instances are denied today by
those in charge of the affair who de-
clare that all obligations were met by
Officers OF the Home Guard which ran
the event here. The PoH manages

ever since. When William H. Taft,
as secretary of War visited Panama in
1905 he took the then Major Goethals
with him. In 1907 Goethals was
placed in charge of the construction
of the canal, with the rank of chief
engineer, succeeding Theodore P.
Shonts. Later he rose to the rank
of Colonel and when the Panama Ca

ToDAY's ANNIVERSARIES.

The first record of an event of great
Importance on June 26, is for the year
A, B. c. 1t was then that the me-
norable conference took place be-
tween Brutus, Cassius and Cicero at
Antium. On this day in the year 1541
Francisco Pizarro, the Spanish adven-
turer, was ASA ssinated in his own
palace by the friends of Almagro
Pizafro was then IS years old. And
here is some positive proof that his
tory repeats itself. It was on June &c,
1907 that the British issued an order
in council blockading the Ems river
and the Baltic sea. The difference was.
of course, that Napoleon was then
England's foe, while today those
waters are blockaded, against the Ger
mans.

LIGHT-HEARTED WOMEN.

A cheerful, 1ight-hearted woman is
the joy of a mans life. Beauty will
fade, good figure will change, but
the charm of health and cheerfulness
will endure to the end. But how can
a woman be cheerful and happy when
dragged down by some female de-
rangement, with backache, head
ache, and often on the verge of a
nervous breakdown?
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the standard remedy for
such ailments. During the last 40
years thousands of homes have. been
made happy by this woman's great
remedy for woman's ills-Adv.
