Z, L. Perkins Dies In Madison

Again was the Christmas season
saddened in the community when 1t
learned Sunday of the death of Evan
der L. Perkins, one of the best known
old time residents, who died Sunday
noon after brief illness of pneu-
monia. Mr.. Perkins was taken Ill
December Is with a bad cold and
after being confined to the house for
few days seemed to improve. Last
Thursday pneumonia developed and
Mr.. Perkins failed rapidly until his
death.
Mr.. Perkins was one OF the ten
children of Joshua and Mary tMesser)
Perkins. He was born in this place,
January %, 1849. With the excep-
ton of a few years residence in
Massachusetts, he has been lifelong
resident of his native town.
Mr.. Perkins was twice married, his
first wife being Matte Tozier of An
son, who lived but short time leay-
ing him with a small son, Charles,
now a resident of Madison Center.
In February 1884 he was united in
marriage to Achsa Randall of this
town. To this union were born three
out VI dlCu III
cy, James who was killed while at
his work at the H. & W. mill Decem-
Der 16. 1909 and Mrs. Gladys Ross
now of Jackman.
Mr.. Perkins was a member of Eu-
cid Lodge of F. & A. NJ. and Indian
Spring Lodge l. o. o. F. He was a
prominent Republican and an attend
ant of the Universalist Church. He
was honored and trusted by his fell
low townsmen, having filled the office
of first selectman for several years
For the past few years he has ser
we'd as chairman of the Board of As
SCISSORS of the Madison Village Cor
poration and was filling this position
at the time of his death. He also
served several terms as deputy sher-
if. Mr.. Perkins was a leader in
many things which stood for the i'm
provement of the town. During the
past few years he has served the
village corporation as night watch
and was serving in this capacity when
taken i'll.
By his kindly disposition Mr. Per
I kins made a wide circle of friends
and was liked and respected not only
by the older residents but the young.
He is survived besides the above men
toned relatives by two brothers,
Hamlin H. and Granville D. and one
sister, Mrs Fannie Hackett also eight
grandchildren all of this place.
The funeral services were held

Biggest Holiday Season in History OF
SkOWhegan POStOffice

Local postal employees deserve
considerable praise for the efficient
manner in which they handled the
record breaking amount of mail
during the past week. BY noon on
Christmas day the local packages
were all delivered which really is re-
makable considering the hundreds Of
sacks which came pouring in as
Christmas Day drew nearer. 1t was
necessary for twelve carriers to work
Sunday to bring Merry Christmas in
many homes. Monday morning the
largest letter mail ever brought into
Skowhegan came across the bridge.
The most sacks ever to come on one
train this season was ninety-fye; the
leading outgoing mail being not far
below that figure. The fact that
thirty thousand one-cent stamps were
sold at the office last week gives an
indication to flood of greeting cards
dispatched.
Many more people are realizing the
advantage of mailing their parcels
early which facilitates the situation
immensely, but last minute shoppers
are not all converted and many made
use of special deliveries as last re-
sort.

THE
 LOVE GAMf.
A CITY
ROMANCE.
BY VIRGINIA f0NlhE WFhWs1u

.e--...I .sss9S1 f1' Perhaps the obsession of a new ldea was, in way, salutary to Wini fred Scott at this juncture. For so intent was she upon it that she for got much of the sadness of her pres ent state-forgot to relieve the har- rowing scenes of the past three days.
 Why might she not dc some kind of uplift work herself?
 This was the question Richard Rankin's letter had started. It did not occur to the girl that this was the question he had intended her to ask.
 Now as she unused over what he had told her on Commencement Day, and what he had said in his message of sympathy, she felt that to labor Tor others was SC noble that working for self-support was sordid and vul- gar by comparison.
 Her heart beat high as she re- flected on the potentialities for good that would be hers. Of course, just now she had no ready money. Her father had always paid her mod crate allowance. But soon his af- fairs would be settled. All his money would be hers-just as this house
 A sentence of Rankin's recurred to her.
 Girls like you" he had said, with leisure and position, could be such tot or help If you only would.
 Why might she not with her money help Rankin in his work?
 She must have a talk with him. flc had suggested coming to see her. Even now, before she knew just how she stood financially she might learn what he was doing. Anyway. he was a delightful companion and gentle man. Surely it would be all right to allow him to call on her.
 She was creature of impulse. and iler impulse now moved her to open the top drawer of the desk and seek for writing paper.

CLEARS COMPLEXION
 AS F BY MAGIC
No Longer Necessary to Be a Victim of Unpopular ity on Account of a
 Bad Complexion

Very often pimple, blackhead or irritation of the skin is simply na- lures way of warning you that you are careless, and is reminding you that you must take care of your skin. clean it of the dust and grease which collect in the pores, so they can throw off impurities from the sys- tenn, which otherwise collect, and then fester. causing blackheads, pimples and other face ruiners.
 Women who endured these dis tressing things for years and who never seemed to be able to find any thing which would really get rid of them are now using Black and White Cleansing Cream because it really keeps every one of the little pores cleaned out, healthy and active in getting rid of the things which ordi- narily cause pimples and sore skin.
 By using Black and White Cleans ing Cream regularly you make your skin soft, smooth and lovely. Then, instead of putting on just any face powder in the mornings, first use the Peroxide Cream, which keeps the skin clear, free from surface grease and makes your Black and White Face Powder stay on evenly instead of making your face look ''pasty" and lover powdered"
