another in a short time. Meanwhile he and other library officials are not worrying over the suggestion that the present bitter war within the park board will prevent the granting of the park site to the library board.
 Officials pointed out that the park board already has acted officially, and that it action was favorable to the use of the park site.
 Therefore, even if NJ. P. Phillips and Elmer Thuston, opponents of the site, made their fight on Lewis Bowen, a Loard member favoring the site, in or der to split the board on this question, they gained nothing, it was pointed out. A motion to reconsider would fail to carry, as Chairman W. l.. Harrison and Mrs. Charles J. Sharp are in favor of the park site. And there is little prob ability of a successor being named to MT. Bowen any time soon, as the city commission intends to renominate him and Phillips and Thuston intend to continue to vote against his confirma- tion.
 Most officials at the city hall believe that the new library will be we'll under construction before the park board war is settled. Others predict that the war will not end until new ely adminis- tration and new park board are placed in office.

Crowds Of Little Girls
 On Hand To See Dollies
Hundreds Of Letters Still Coming Praising The
 Singing And Talking Dolls

agree with me that there is no other dolly anywhere as nice as she is.
 Letters From Little Girls
 The mail man keeps visiting me sev- eral times day with bundles of letters. Here is one received yesterday from a little out of town girl. She says:
 Dear Doll Lady :--I am little east Alabama girl. Am an orphan. My father died of influenza during the World war. have four little brothers. I am very lonesome sometimes. I'm so anxious to get the doll. Am 6 years old and go to school"
 |. Another little girl from Argo, Ala, writes:
 T want to know how to get one of your dollies if you have any left, as l couldn't come Saturday or Monday I thought I would just write.
 Yours truly, MAE"
 Yes, Mae, dear, I have some dollies left and I'll make sure to have some for all good littleg irls that want one and promise them good homes. The fairies are good to me in these cases and will give me. more little doll children for good girls.
 Then from Louise at Sylacauga, Ala. 1:
 Dear Doll Lady :--I am just simply crazy for one of your dolls. I think it's the most beautiful, loveable dolls (pic- turel I have ever seen.
 Please answer my letter immediate. ly, telling me how can get me beau tiful doll

 l know, Louise, the picture of the dolly is lovely but you just ought to see the dolly. She is much better than the old picture of her. If you or any of the other girls come to Birmingham be sure and come to Blach's big store to see them or at The Age-Herald.

ONE FRIEND TELLS ANOTHER

The fame of a successful remedy is often spread far and wide by women telling one another of it's merits, as is evidenced by letter written by. Mrs. Delbert Bush of Masena, N. Y.

It has given me back my health and I cannot praise it enough" There are women everywhere who have been benefited by Lydia E.

MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS.

At a stated meeting of Jephthah
chapter No. Al. O. e. s., Southwest
Harbor, on Tuesday evening, April s,
the following resolutions We're unani-
mously adopted, spread upon the
records of the chapter and ordered pub
lished in The Ellsworth American, and
copy sent to the bereaved family.
Whereas In the providence of AL
mighty God, His infinite wirdom has
seen fit to call to his rest the soul of
our deceased brother John Carter, for
many years a faithful and loyal MEM
Der of Jephthah chapter, therefore, it
is the sentiment of the members that
his loss to us is one that not only
causes us sadness but one that cannot
easily be replaced. Truly he labored
and wrought among us as one who
had seen the star in the East, and
had by his life and conduct warranted
our regard and esteem. He has passed
beyond the reach of praise by human
lips.
In acknowledgment of sacred ties
severed, of memories tenderly cher
ished, the chapter of his earthly So
journ ended, we can but note that his
many virtues shall not go unrecorded.
Fidelity, constancy, purity immortal
ity, fervency. May his soul ever go on
and on. We who remain can but
so live, that when our summons come
to join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To the pale realms of shade, where
each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of
death,
We go not like the quarry slave at
night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sus-
tanned and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach the
grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of
his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant
Dreams"

were his guests at dinner. In the
afternoon they were joined by a few
of Mr.. Young's friends and neigh

hymns with the aid of a tuning
fork which was presented him by the
late Prof. j. C. Winterbotham, of
Lamoine, about seventy-fve years
ago. a birthday cake was served
with other dainty refreshments. A
large bouquet of assorted pinks
given by Mr.. Young's children, added
much to the occasion Mr. Youngs
friends gave him shower of cards
and letters to the number of more
than 100. Mr.. Young is a wonder
fully well-preserved man, both ply
sically and mentally. The com
pany dispersed, wishing him many
