reported: “'Colonel Nickerson had his
horse shot from under hitn by a discharge
of g ape. He sprang from under his

upon his men for one more charge. The

of the evolutions on difficult ground and
under fire of confederate veterans, I
can only say for his efforts in building up
his regiment, the most severe task for a
commander, and his conduct in the field
Colonel Nickerson deserves high praise,”
For his gallantry and efficiency at Battle
of Baton Rouge Colonel Nickerson was
made a full Brigadier General in 1862
and commanded a brigade until end of ;
war, except a few months the latter ■
part of the war when he was on detach'd ;
service in Washington, D. C. Waldo i
county had several of her soldiers honor- 1
ed with the Brevet rank of Brigadier
General, but only G neral Nickerson had i
the full rank. His brigade, which in
cluded the 14th Maine, participated in
siege of Port Hudson in 1863, and in the j
Red River campaign in 1864,and a portion I
of the time he was in command of the di- }
vision. !
He returned to Searsport at close of !
the war and resumed the practice of his ;
profession. Civil honors would naturally
have been his, but he brushed aside the
temptation, and resumed his connection
with the Democratic party, taking a rad
ical position against the policies of the
Republican party on reconstruction; al
so upon the payment of bonds in gold
which had been bought with a greatly
depreciated currency and were non tax
ible. He advocated letting the South
resume their old relations in their own
way, and a burial of all the unpleasant
memories of the war. He rarely alluJed
to any of the thrilling incidents or bat
tles in which he had borne such an honor
aide part, and only attended the regi
mental reunions of his old regiments occa
sionally, where he was always a welcome
guest and popular speaker. He had be
come more conservative than in his early
days, which also characterized his bear
important caBes successfully, and reach

he and D. N. Mortland met Tom Reed,
when he was Attorney General, in a mur

of his hardest legal battles.

often ailing and poorly, without being
really sick. They feel mean and out
of sorts, restless and nervous, with
little appetite, weak stomach, and
maybe suffer from frequent sick
headaches and bilious attacks. In

them up. A good remedy for this
purpose is “L. F.” Atwood's Medicine.

General Nickerson was most kindly and
genial in disposition and harbored no
spirit of hatred or revenge as a result, of
sharp legal or political clashes, and would
meet his opponents in a most bitter wm
of words, without leaving a lasting sting.
When a change in political conditions
brought him in conflict with his old friend
and leader, E. K. Smart, in a desperate
grapple at the Democratic County Con
vention in lt58, in which Smart wenl
down in defeat, Nickerson extended hit
hand, and said, you taught me, our divi
sion is only for a day. He was always
glad to lend his aid to worthy people, anc
knew how to make it effective. Many
young men of Waldo county owed their
advancement in the Army of ’61 to him,
and he always displayed wise judgment
in his choice Notwithstanding his great
dtsadv intagee educationally in his youth,
he had read himself into fine scholarship,
and was authority in average standarc
literature and the poets. Shakespean
was his text book and was the close com
panion of his Army life. A group of mer
distinguished in law, letters and Art ant
brilliancy in thetr respective vocations
were accustomed for many years teluncl
together at Young’s Hotel, Boston, ant
enjoy an hour of flow of soul each day
Among them were General William Cogs
well, for many years a member of Con
gress, B. P. Palmer of the Boston Globe
Martin Milmor-.the great sculptor,and i
dozen others, in the circle ot vhich Gen
eral Nickerson was the life and peer. Si
wide had been his readmes and so nrnlifii
were his apt quotations, where wit, good
nature sparkled, and gems of repatee
abounded. Nickerson was the last to
cross the divide. His devotion to friends
was most beautiful, and in political de
feats he was such a good loser that his
associates were made to feel that they
were sure to win the next heat.He was the
personification of loyalty to his convic
tions and defeat year after year did not
dim his ardor for his cause.
And now he is gone forever, that gal
lant old soldier, whose years were so
prolonged that they spanned nearly a
century, from John Quincy Adams’ Ad
ministration to Wilson’s second term,
and he had the dearest wish of his heart
gratified in seeing a Democratic Presi
dent re-elected. He remembered inci
dents of the last days of Jackson and
was active in the campaign of Tippi
canoe and Tyler too. It is almost im
possible to associate him with death. So
vigorous and dominant, so optimistic and
hopeful of a still longer stay with his
young friends, to the last, that one could
scarcely believe that he could ever be
destined to pay nature’s debt. And those
few living who had the joy of his friend
ship in his early years, who loved him
and sympathized with his views, who
shared his enthusiasm, and cheerfully re
sponded to his hopeless party calls, can
now only find relief in tender momories
of a superlative specimen of a man.
“How shall I sing as one should sing.
How chant tby praise in sweet refrains,
How touch the lyre, whose every string
Responds with wild and wailing strains?

Each effort is a mournful cry;

And sayl Great Heart, Good-by, good-by.”

PUBLIC HEALTH WORK.
Too Many People Die From Cau<M
That Are Preventable.
Probably 350.000 people (lie yearly Iu
the United States from preventable
causes; also something like 2 per cent
of the population is disabled from sick
ness at any given time, aud a large
part of this is preventable.
The standing problem before public
health boards is: How. with the means
at their disposal, to make the greatest
possible reduction in this social waste?
Perhaps there has been more co-op
eration in this governmental field than
in any other—a freer circulation of
ideas and experience, so that one com
munity has profited by the discoveries

A pamphlet hy l he Russell Sage
j foundation suggests that, with ude
; quate reports on mortality ami side
ness, communities which have the
same general health conditions may
by careful study and comparison work
out a formula for applying their health
appropriations with reasonable certain
ty of getting the be. t possible results
for the money.
The first factor in the formula would
be the amount of damage produced by
any given cause of sickness and death.
The second factor would be the readi
ness with which this cause yielded to
preventive measures. For example,
cancer causes much damage, but in the
present stage of medical science is not
classed as a preventable disease. On
the other hand, smallpox causes little
damage, but its potentialities of dam
age are high, and it readily yields to
the simple preventive of vaccination.
r>y a sufficiently careful study of ade
quate data a health board can reduce
this to mathematical terms and say.
with assurance, “Twenty-four per cent
of our appropriation should go to pre
venting infants' diseases: 1“ per cent
to tuberculosis.” And so on—the fig

ent conditions of climate, housing, and
the like.
The plan is a suggestion as to what
may be accomplished by co-operation
among towns.—Saturday Evening l’ost.
CRUSHING A NATION.
The Cambray League and the Fall of
the Venetian Republic.
The League of Cambray was the po
litical combination of continental Eu
rope in 1508 against the Venetian re
public, which tore from the “Queen of
the Adriatic” her resplendent crown
and forced to her lips the cup of deep
est humiliation.
Back of the league and causing its
formation were jealousy, ambition aud
the desire of crippling the proud peo
ple, whose history was the wonder and
envy of the world. Too powerful to be
overthrown by any single power, it
was resolved that Venice should be
crushed by the combined forces of all
Europe.
During the terrible days of Attila.
auout a. -ios, veuice was iouuueu
out among the lagoons of the Adriatic,
where, it was felt, safety would he
found from the ravages of the Hun.
The history of the thousand years from
the foundation of the city to the year
1508 reads like magic. Rising from the
waves, Venice became the wonder of
the world. Her navy cut the waters
of every known sea. Her merchants
were the greatest on earth. Her bank
was the financial center of the world.
And for more than ten centuries did
Venice remain the glory of the world,
the center of wealth, opulence and
power, the home of culture and intel
ligence, the hearthstone about which
sat the finest of the intellectual graces
and hospitalities, and such she might
have remained but for the League of
Cambray. which, with its overwhelm
ing forces, gave her the blow (at Ag
nadello in 1509) from which it was im
possible for her to recover.—Exchange.
Train Names.
The old picturesque English habit of
naming trains of special importance
seems to be dying out fast in these ma
terialistic days. While America keeps
up the custom, we never speak now' of
i a “Zulu.” a “Flying Scotchman” or a
“Wild Irishman.” We do not call
Cunard specials “Herring Pond Lim
iteds,” and even the train long and af
fectionately knowm, from its wonder
ful engine, as the “Charles Dickens”
has now merely a number and a time.

No Longer Skinny.
The word “skinny” has gone out of
fashion. In the old days When a girl
was so thin and hungry looking she
shamed her mother’s pantry that was
what they called her, but a more mod
ern description is that she has a sensi
tive, spirituelle face.—New York Sun.
Not the Same.
“When I started out in life young
men were glad to get a chance to start

THE PRESIDENT’S FLAG.
It Now Indicates When Mr. Wilson. Is
at the White House.
For the last quarter of a century
at least the American flag has been
raised above the White House when
the president was there, and if the
president went out for three or four
hours the flag was pulled down, so that
It would look as though the White
House was only protected by the flag
when the president was in residence.
The Woman’s Relief Corps and the
Grand Army of the Republic have pro
tested against this for many years, but
it seemed without making any impres
sion. President Wilson, however, de
cided that the flag of the United States
Bhould fly over the White House from
sunrise to sunset every day in the year.
It seems tube necessary, however, that
there be some emblem to indicate that
the president is in the city.
President Wilson solved this problem
should he raised over the White House
whenever he was in residence and
taken down whenever he was outside
of the White House grounds.
The flag of the president of the Unit
ed States is the president’s naval flag,
but it is little known to the public. As
it flies above the White House, it rep
resents the great seal of the United
States—namely, an eagle displayed in SI
proper colors, with the olive branch
in one talon, the arrows in the other,
and above its head a glory in which
appear thirteen stars. This is display
ed on a ground of red, the flag itself
being blue. The seal is inclosed in one gj
large five pointed white star, encircled Ci
by a row of forty-eight stars represent- Ai
ing the states in the Union. It floats ^
over tlie porte-cochere of the White
House, and is in a straight line with
the staff of the United States flag. D'
which flies from the peak of the White
nouse proper.—Washington National
Tribune. N
FLASH AND ROAR OF GUNS. 1
| Si
No Device to Muffle Them Has Proved
a Practical Success.
Both the French and the German
armies have been trying for years to _
discover how to make a gun that shall
be not merely noiseless, but shall emit
no flash. For, as Nicolas Flamel says
in La Nature, after dark two observers
by watching the time can with accu- 1;
rate chronometers having luminous
dials discover precisely the position of
an enemy battery, or three observers,
regardless of time, can do the same by
grouping their observations. And this
merely by the flash of the guns.
German inventors succeeded by add
ing a minute quantity of alkaline salts
to their powder in diminishing the
flash, but they found that in proportion
ns they suppressed the flash they in
creased the smoke. Other substances
4-^ 4-1.nn,„,L,n 4:.. n.inn/uin
have been vaseline, alkaline soaps,
oxalates and resinates of soda, barium
and aluminum. None was successful.
The French tackled the problem as a
mechanical rather than a chemical one. j
A gun is really only an explosion motor, j
and it seemed that there ought to be a '
way of muffling its sounds and its flash ! |
as those of other such motors are j
muffled. It was not until 1909, when j
Maxim invented his silencer, that the j
problem seemed on the way to solution, j
Many other silencers, most of which I
quench much of the light as well as the j
sound, have been invented since then, <
but none is a practical success in war- j
fare, either from the point of view of j
sound or of light.
Figure Skating.
To learn figure skating one must de- 1
vote himself to figure skating. There ;
Is a special figure skate, curved on the
bottom so as to make curves and cir
cles entirely possible. It is round toed, \
and on this forward curl are deep cor
rugations for toe spins.
“One of the principal features of fig
ure skating.” said an expert, “is the
curve. To be able to control the cir
cles means thnt one has gained the B
power to maintain the body in grace
ful attitudes. Every one should skate
large figures first.” ®!

Californian Had
Kidney Trouble
Jack Maltos, Copperopolis, Calif.,
says: “I had such a severe case of
kidney or 1 ot 1 thought 1 would have
to sell . t sny business. I took three
bottles ei i1 ■ . y Kidney Pills which
entirely relieved me and I have had
no recurrence of kidney trouble since
then.
Some days it seems as if ycu can
no longer bear the pain and misery
you suffer from kidney and bladder
troubles. The ache across your back
grows worse with every move you
make and every step you take. It
just seems to rob you of all strength
and energy. Your head aches, you
are nervous and worn out, sleep poorly
and have no appetite, stomach is up
set and bowels irregular. f
i Foley Kidney Pills lessen the pain,
until it is finally gone entirely. They
give strength and i e to the kidneys
i —make them strong, active, their ac
tion becomes regular and normal
again, and your health grows better
each day you take this great healing
medicine.
