Many a woman endures with noble
natience the daily misery of backache,
pains about the hips, blue, nervous spells,
dizziness and urinary disorders, hopeless
of relief because she doesn't know what
is the matter
1t is not true that every pain in the
back or hips is trouble peculiar to the
sex" Often when the kidneys get con-
pested and infamed, such aches and pains
follow.
Then h lp the weakened kidneys.
Don't expect them to get well alone.
Doan's Kidney Pills have won the praise
of. thousands of women. They are en-
dorsed at home-Read this Belfast wo-
mans convincing statement:
Mrs H. w. Healey, % Miller street,
says "About two years ago | suffered
pretty bad with my back. My back was
so lame l couldn't sweep the floor or do
my homework and l often had to 60 to
bed with sick headaches. l knew my

TEXAS A REAL FARMER.

The State of Texas is probably the
largest farmer in the world. Its agricul-
tural operations are conducted by the
State penitentiary convicts and the area
in cultivation of the different farms is
approximately 65. 600 acres. The net in
come from the crops this year will be
about 81, 500, 0OO If the price of cotton
continues to 60 up this profit may posi-
bly, reach So, 600, 600. The cotton crop is
not yet all picked and the total yield will
be more than 10000 bales With the
present price of a bale, including the
seed. around $685. there will be received
from this source alone approximately
So. 900. From this, of course, will
have to be deducted certain expenses,
including the maintenance of the con-
yicts. the purchase and keeping of the
work stock, and s.ac-ll farm equipment.
The sugar cane crop upon these plan
tations will bring in etrevenue of about
$4,000. The money from the sale of
hogs belonging to the State will amount
to about $50, OOG. Corn and various other
kinds of crops will add very greatly to
the total income.
Inasmuch as the expenses for running
the several plantations aggregate to APP
proximately 81, 600, 900 annually, the total
gross income this year would necessarily
have to be between 81, 500, 900 and So, 00O,-
900 to leave net earnings of ST, 500, coo to
81, 600, 600 that are in prospect 1t Is the
opinion of the State penitentary authorl-
ties that the gross income may overreach
the So, 600, 900 mark. If cotton should go
to 80 cents per pound, as is now indicated,
it would mean the adding Of about $780,
600 to the value of that crop, and instead
of the net earnings being possibly 81, Oo0,-
900, they would be about s., 500, coo.

Maine Horse in England.

George H. Groder of Waterville has re-
ceived a letter from DR.. H. w. Darrell OF
Adelaide House, All Saints Green, Nor
wich. Eng, present owner of Dan O., Jr.,
the famous little race horse which was
raised by MI Groder. DR.. Darrell
purchased this horse from the Fort Fair
field men to whom he had been sold by
MIR. Groder and is now keeping him for
driving horse although he says he hopes
to race him some. Seeing Mr.. Groder's
name in horse book as the breeder OF
Dan O., Dr. Darrell writes to get ali the
information he can regarding his horse.
He enclosed pictures showing the racer
taking his daily exercise in which he is
seen to be in line condition and as hand
some as ever. Dr.. Darrell says he is the
handsomest horse he ever saw and he has
seen good many.

Local telephone Lines to be Made.

The public utilities commission has
rendered decision adjudging that a
physical connection can reasonably be
made between the lines of the Knox and
Montville Telephone Company, the Lib
erty and Belfast Telephone Company and
the New England Telephone & Telegraph
Company, to form a continuous line OF
communication by the construction and
maintenance of suitable connections, for
the transfer of messages and converse
tions; that public convenience and neces-
sity will be subserved thereby; that said
companies have failed to establish JOINT
rates, tolls or charges for such service
over their said lines; that such Joint
rates, tolls or charges ought to be estab-
lshed that the purpose of such connec-
ton is not primarily to secure the trans
mission of local messages or converse
ton between points within the same city
or town.

Another Puzzle.

SIS it possible for a person to say
something that will be a lie if it is
true?"
Eyes. If a liar should say 4 never
told the truth in my life,' it would be
a lie if it was true"
GLOW 500"
because that statement would be
one instance of his telling the truth,
and thus it would be false on the face
of it. And if he should say the exact
opposite, that would of course be a
lie, too. But leave that supposition
out of the question, for it may confuse
you. Just remember this--that if a
fellow says he never told the truth,
he must be lying"
"But if he's lying, then he's telling
the truth, because his statement would
merely be another lie. So his record
wouldn't be broken after all"

proves that it's impossible--'

AN OFFICE.

An office is funny thing; Each morning
And certain girls and certain boys come
into it again
And hang their coats on certain pegs,
their hats on certain hooks.
Aud sit them down at certain desks in
front of certain books.
They all have certain work to do in just
certain time
Concerning certain dollars for certain
fixed per diem;
And then at just certain hour, in sun
shine or in rain,
They close their desks and hurry out to
catch a certain train.
An office is a tragic thing when that is all
there is,
When each one has his certain work and
certain way Of his
And wallows in a certain rut and never
seems TO see 49,
That there are certain other ones IN lie
as well as he.
For we would find certain fun in certain
other ways,
If we would give word of cheer on GER
tain busy days
When problems vex, when certain things
require helping hand,
Would give certain sympathy that NOR
tails understand.
An office is pleasant place-at least, a
certain kind
That has certain brotherhood, where
day by day you find -,
Some neighbor with new idea he's glad
to pass along,
A certain sort of friendliness, certain
sort of song.
There is a certain duty that we owe to
other men
To help them when they need lift, to
steady them again.
An office can become in time, to man and
girl and boy,
A certain kind of fellowship, and work
certain Joy.

yoked to secure coal for the island towns

1t now became a place for pilgrims
from Europe For centuries they ar
rived and made their way to the Holy
City. Many of them landed at Ces-
area, further up the coast, but the
biblical traditions of Jaffa caused al
most all of them to visit its pictur-
I esque walls.
In the seventh century of our era the
Arabs invaded the country and then
began the reign Of the Saracens and
Turks, which has continued, with occa-
sional periods of other occupation, I'M
til the present day.
In all of the eight Crusades, which

tinued internationally for 800 years,
Jatfa was a prominent figure in the ac-

taxed highly for admission to the city

otherwise unjustly treated by the gov

1t was customary for most of the
Crusaders to land at Acre which, while
further away from Jerusalem, seemed
to offer a more direct route and a SAT
er landing for the ships and galleys
which brought the Knights Templar

Jaffa became the advanced base for

Taken by Napoleon.
Napoleon in his Egyptian campaign
took the city of Jaffa, and it was there
that it was declared that he left his
soldiers to die of the plague, but he
had his eye on posterity and had
picture painted depicting him in the
convent of the Armenians going sym
pathetically among his stricken sol
diers, whom his enemies declared he
poisoned when he was about to leave.
Mehelnet Ali took the town in 1882,
and the Arabs were evicted by the
Turks, who took the town eight years
later, although in the meantime it had
been laid partly waste by an earth
quake in 1888.
The guide books will tell the modern
pilgrim that he may still see the ruins
of the house of Simon the tanner now
covered by mosque, and the pious
may make the journey to that part
of the town where the worthy Iabtha
was raised by st. Peter. He may read
on a signboard, "Tabitha's Quarter"

stood has not been transmitted to this

From a small town OF about 10000
population. the completion of the rail-

ago caused the city to become impor-

three times that number of inhabitants.
The treacherous character Of the en-
trance by sea to the town is likely to
stand in the way Of it's future great
ness, but as one of the oldest cities in
the world it must always have a fasci-
