In these days of jazz music the xylo-
phone is getting to be a popular instru
mont, although only few years ago 1t
was q novelty, and the word had so
strange sound q cub reporter did not
know whether to begin Ii with W" or
what. The instrument is said to have
originated with the Kafir negro tribes OF
Africa and In their hands was scarcely
better than q tom-tom; but since Its
adoption in Europe and America IL has
undergone q transformsti0u, so it can
hold solo place in an orchestra. With
proper msllets Ii gives clear, brilliant
tones, and with mallets of special CON-
bination of materials these tones can be
softened to ripples. The wooden bars
which produce the tones are usually
made Of Honduras rosewood, combin-
ing as it does superior tone and great
durability. These bars arranged to cor
respond with the keyboard of Q piano
make 10 possible for pianist to attain
considerable skill without further train
ing. II knocking on wood brings luck,
then q xylophone ought to bring such to
an orchestra.

Here and There.

Just at this particular time IL would
seem one portion of the state OF Maine
was inhabited almost wholly by hunters.
About every male appears to want to
take a chance at deer. Just how many
hunters there are here probably Is not
known, or, at least, have not been
counted. 1t is estimated, however, there
are about seven million nimrods in the
whole country, according to the bio
logical survey Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. This estimate
is founded upon state licenses issued and
exceptions based upon various state pro-
visions. In 1919, $780, 900 licenses were
issued, and il was estimated $500, 600
were exempted under provisions men,
toned above. The returns to the several
states from these licenses amounted sp-
proximstely to $4,500,000 which was
expended in protecting game from ey-
erythipg but hunters. This sum permits
the employment Of some two thousand
sslaried state game wardens, and some six
hundred fee wardens. The congressional
appropriation for several game wsrdens
for protection Of migratory birds is s142,-
500, from which only twenty nine sala-
ried wardens are employed. There Is an
effort being made to issue federal licenses
to hunt migratory birds. IL is estimated
the revenue from these licenses would
amount to between one and two million
dollars which could be used for the pro-
lection of game. The above would seem
to indicate that il is not poor humans
alone that are being exploited but bird,
beast and fish as well.

People OF Maine and Oxford County,
like those OF the rest of the world, are
interested in Madame Sarah Bsrnhardt.
A resident of South Paris, when the ''di-
vine Sarah" made her first tour Of the
United States, went to Boston, when she
was in that city, and paid fifteen dollars
for a ticket to hear and see her. BE was
ungallant enough to say he was cheated;
nevertheless, his criticism never deferred
any of his townsmen from hearing her
when they had the opportunity. Her
last appearance in this vicinity was in
Lewiston in q French play few years
ago. But 1t Is not to recall these things
that this item is written, but q new de-
yelopment of the noted actress. This is
her seventy fifth year, and she Is adding
to her versatility by writing novel,
called "La Petite Idole, /" which is appear
ing In serial form in the Paris illustrated
daily paper, Excelsior" In it are re-
produced many characters who have
lived during the last half century-thest-
ricsl, diplomatic and social. She has
written memoirs, and short stories be-
fore, but this Is her first novel. She Is q

If your body is sound and your

Let your blood get weak, and your

Too much hard work, an illness.

blood, and Pepto-Mangan is needed
to bring it back to healthy, normal
condition.
Knowing this, doctors for years
have recommended Guides Pepto-
Mangan because of its blood-build-
ing and tonic properties.
PeptoMangan is such a simple AMI
harmless tonic, yet such prompt
builder of red blood, that its reputa-
tion has spread all over the coun-
try To-day every druggist sells 1t
and thousands of men and women use
1t as restorative whenever they or
their children seem to feel below par.
Pepto-Mangan agrees with the most
delicate stomach, and is obtainable in
either liquid or tablet form.

for a pastor any longer, and gave him
the hint by locking him out.

lock of the church. Bailey and Thorpe
sought to have him arrested for tres
passing, but the police stood by the
pastor. He will preach to-day, if the
