MANY LIVES

MAN IiVCo
SO few of US are able to live even
one life. While there are those who
live a dozen lives all in one!
Each day adds to the greatness OF
such lives as that lived by Roosevelt,
Wendell Phillips, Gladstone, Beecher,
Cecil Rhodes and Frances Willard.
To have done with but one life
would have been to kill off such heroic
figures before youth itself had fairly
begun.
Take the single example of Roose-
velt-writer, naturalist, discoverer,
statesman, reformer, scholar, editor
he was ten men all in one, living a
score OF lives over the course of one!
And all the time human and gentle.
with all the elements SO mixed that
the whole world might stand up as
one witness to say that he truly was
a man.
1t is unfortunate that we have but
one life-in space-to live. But in
this space we may crowd the activity
of many ives-and splendidly acquit
ourselves in long and happy service.
Each of us may live many lives!
And there may be no limit to the
number. But it is highly important
that each life we live have back of it
at least one big purpose.
Let us not be petty at all. Let us
carry around with us a goodly supply
of the faith that conquers-and the
love that knows no extinction of time
or space.
Let us, however, resolve to live but
one life at a time

This Actually Removes
Superfluous Hair Roots
ENTIRELY New and Quick Method)

By the Introduction in this country
of what is known as the -phelactine
process, any woman can now rid her
self completely of annoying super
fluous hair or fuzz. The process is
entirely new, different from all others,
and far better-because it actually re-
moves the roots, as well as the sur
face hair! 1t is almost instantaneous,
perfectly harmless, odorless and non
irritating.
Just get a stick Of phelactine from
your druggist, follow the simple direc-
tions-and see the hair roots come
out, with your own eyes! No depila-
tory or electrical treatment can pro-
duce this result. The skin is left
soft, smooth and hairless as a child s
Phelactine can be used with absolute
safety-one could even eat it with
impunity -Advertisement.

At a school examination the exam
liner asked one child:
What are the products of the India

The unhappy infant began nervously

heart:

member Of the Unitarian church.
Reader-Give short biography of
Jean Webster.-Jean Webster, author
of Daddy Long Legs" and other popu-
lar stories, was born July "a, 1875, at
Fredonia, N. Y. Her father and
mother were Charles Luther and Annie
Clemens (Moffet) Webster. She was
a grandniece of Mark Twain, and it is
not surprising that her humorous writ
ing had little of that quaint touch
which made her granduncle famous.
In 1896 Miss Webster graduated from
Lady Jane Grey school and in 1901 re-
ceived the A. B. degree from Vassar.
For the next few years her time was
spent in Italy, and in 1867 she made
a trip around the world.
Jean Webster first gained popularity
as a writer of college girl story,
when Patty Went to College," hum
orous work published in 1903. The
Wheat Princess" followed in 1903:
Jerry Junior" in 1907; 1.-THE Four-Poll
Mystery in 1908; Much Ado About
Peter in 1909; "Just Patty in 1911;
Daddy, Long Legs" her most popular
book, was published in 1912 and later
was dramatized with some success.
Her last book was Dear Enemy" pub
| lished in 1915.
While working on the proofs OF
Dear Enemy" Miss Webster was
courted by Glenn Ford Mckinney, a
New York lawyer. II am too busy,
was her reply to his persistent pro
posals. Finally she consented to be
come his wife on his promise that all
wedding arrangements should be TAX
en- out of her hands, leaving her free
to continue her literary work. Mrs
Joseph w. Lewis was the wedding
manager. The wedding took place
Sept 7, 1915, at Washington Green
Conn.
Mrs. Mckinney died at her home the
night of June II, 1915. A daughter
was born to her the day before.

MRS. EDMUND HENDERSON ON
THE STAND
This deviation from regular court
procedure was followed by the testi-
mony of Mrs. Edmund Henderson
whose husband is proprietor of the
Henderson camps. She remembered
the evening of Oct Is, was out riding
and saw a car near the Armstrong
bars In the Sugar Berth woods. She
didn't remember of seeing any car
at the Boothman road. Apparently
her testimony differed somewhat I'M
der cross examination from her tes-
timony Of the previous trial, especial
ly with regard to the car being large
or small.
Henry Pelott of Waterville was
Zimmerman located five miles from
Jackman in the fall Of 1919. On the
evening of Oct. Is he left the camps
and went to Jackman at Is or 20
minutes past seven. He went down
in the car with his father-in-law and
passing thru the Sugar Berth woods
about 1880 or % minutes of eight,
remembered seeing a Ford car with
the top up and headed toward Canada
about half way from the Armstrong
bars To the blow down whore Part
ley's body was found. Witness could
not recall under cross examination
that he had told people that he had
seen car north of the Armstrong
Bars. Pelott was finally excused at
the conclusion OF his testimony.

We note by the Lafayette
papers that Mr.. Alcee Guidry has
commenced the operation of a
! modern brick making plant with
a capacity Of $4,000 per day. On
Wednesday morning the machin.
cry Of the new industry was put in
motion in the presence Of a num-
Der of the business men of that
thriving community. On mum.
erous occasions we have advocated
brick factory for New iberia
knowing the great need for an in
dustry Of that nature to supply
local demand. The plant at La
fayette represents an expendi-
ture Of $4,000 and one citizen
alone saw the opportunity to
lpmp into a paying business from
the start. New iberia has been
for several years in need of a
brick yard, or fac tory in order TO
enatle our citizens to proceed
eith buildings CO every descrip-
lion. and yet no one seems to
II INK enough of :ha investment
to even start a hand made brick
yard. Our reason for taking up
this subject is because it is almost
impossible for brick to be pur.
chased on the outside to be deliv-
cred here owing to the railroad
conditions and only this week one
Of our citizens who contemplated
erecting brick structure had to
call off a contract and make other
arrangements by purchasing a
building to be occupied by him.
This is a deplorable condition,
especially so when the soil here
is specially adapted to the ma
king of brick at a nominal cost.
Some days ago one of our citi-
zens, an experienced brick manu-
tacturer expressed a willingness
W take up Ine proposition OF ma
king brick by hand and showed
US detailed statement at what he
could make brick for under the
hand process, if some one would
furnish the capital to erect the
kilns. According to his estimate
there is a handsome profit to be
derived on each thousand brick
turned out. 1T seems to us with
the great amount Of unused cap
ltal lying in the banks there ought
to be some citizen willing to back |
such an enterprise. If there is
any one interested in starting a |
brick yard here we will gladly put
them in touch with a person who |
has had MANY wears experience in |
brick making who will willingly |
accept employment as q brick
manufacturer. I
