OUR MOTTO: Safety, Quality, and Cut Prices 160 THE RED North Main Street GROS S PHARMACY " Where Quality Counts THE STORE THAT WANTS YOUR TRADE WAKING UP A TOWN - By M. QUAD Copyright, 1912. by Associated Lit erary Press. "Do you know, sir," said Deacon fclinser to Abraham Scott In front of the postofflce one evening "do you know that this town of Beverly la Blow, the slowest in the state?" "Yes; business seems to drop off a little every year," was the reply. "And why are we dead and dying I here?" iisked the deaeon as he step pod up on the platform beside a bar rel of kerosene, for It was postofflce end grocery combined. lie waited till his audience had shut and pocketed their Jackkntves and then answered his own question, "liecause nothing ever happens here. Does any one die? Do we have any I funerals? Does any one ever get mar ! rled? Does any one steal? Lias any one present even seen a dog fight in the last two years?" "No, no!" "Something ought to be done, dea con," suggested a voice. "And don't I know it? Don't 'we I all know it?" L "Might call a public meeting and resolve," was a second suggestion. "Resolve what that we are going to the dogs?" "Our forefathers did that, and then we licked the British." "But where's your British to lick now? Tve been thinking this thing over for two years, and I hain't lit on a remedy yet I've got a whole barrel of molasses in the cellar, and I'll give it to the critter who can wake this town up." The critter to do it was right at band. The deacon meant a human be ing, but the critter was an old spotted bull coming down the highway. The crowd at the postofflce was scratching : its head and almost tasting that mo- lasses when the bull turned a corner and saw his golden opportunity. He charged with a snort and a bellow, and after smashing three gates that were swinging open he was at the postofflce. He knocked the crowd right and left. He cleared the platform of barrels and boxes. He ran his horns through windows. The bull came and saw and did things and went his way. It was a fine beginning to wake up a town. Jpne of the threedoctorein.it had even 1b I "Clean Up the Bowels and Keep Them Clean" There are many remedies to be had for constipation, bat the diffi culty is to procure one that acts without violence. A remedy that does not perform b y force what should be accom plished by persua sion is Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets. After using them, Mr. N. A. Waddell, 3 I S Washington St., Waco, Tex., says : V' lif T hum hiwn - troubled with constipation, and hava tried many remedies, all of which eemed to cause pain without giving much relief. I finally tried Dr. Milea" laxative 3'ableta and found them ex cellent. Tbeir action Is pleasant and mild, and their chocolate taste makea them eay to take. 1 am more than glad to recommend them." "Clean up the bowels and keep them clean," is the advice of all physicians, because they realize the danger resulting from habitual con stipation. Do not dolay too long, but begin proper curative measures. Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are a new remedy for this old complaint, and a great improvement over the cathartics you have been using in the past. They taste like candy and work like a charm. A trial will convince you. Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are sold by all druggists, at 25 cents a box containing 25 doses. If not found satisfactory after trial, re turn the box to your druggist and he. will return your money. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. had a case of measles In six months. Now they had thirteen bull horned and bull kicked, victims to practice on. In stead of every light being out by 9 o'clock they were burning in almost every house at midnight Next morning the town was early astir to repair damages and exchange opinions, and no one was looking for anything more to happen when the old bull came charging again. Instead of being miles away he had slept Just out side the town to be ready for an early call. That bellow was like the fall of a brick house. There were three farm ers' teams on the street, early as it was. To play ball with thom was fun for the bull. He put his horns undet old Mrs. Baxter as she was crossing the street to borrow an egg and tossed her over a fence to come down head first in a tomato patch. He kicked Elder Soutbfield in the solar plexus and knocked him the length of a black smith shop. There waa no loafing on the part of that bulL He was at work every min ute of the time, and when he finally quit it was because there was nothing more in his line to be done. On this occasion our staff correspondent sim ply telegraphed: "I have seen the dead and dying, and I have gazed on the wide wrought de struction, and I am Blmply overcome." At sundown scouts that bad been sent out reported that nothing had been seen of the bull, and It was be lieved that be bad rotired to some place where the rates were not too high to commit suicide. There was great felicitation and an attempt to do business, but the old bull had fooled 'em. With the same old bellow, same horns, same tall, be came charging in for the third time. He was willing to work overtime without extra pay. They bad axes and clubs and crowbars and guns ready for bun this time; but they knew him not Abner Goodhue and his wife were Koing to prayer meeting. Over a fence they went instead. Aaron Llttlefield and his mother-in-law were going to sit up with one of the injured on the first charge. Aaron saved himself by climbing a locust tree, but the woman was kicked in the head and never spoke again, though she lived on for twenty years. There were a score more cases like the above, but our staff correspondent didn't particulariza lie couldn't. His emotions were too great. He had to Blmply say: "My grandfather was at Gettysburg, but he saw nothing like this. I simply stand appalled and ask myself who is who." If you should enter that town today yon would find 25,000 population in place of 2,000. You would find a brick postofflce with a lot of old men sitting around, and one of them would be like ly to ask: "Deacon Sllnger, wasn't there a time in the niatory of Beverly when she orfer stood still?" And the answer would be: "There was, sir." "And then the snow shovel factory came to give her an Impetus?" "Snow shovel factory be dumedl Jt wag an old spotted bull, and we otter have a brouze statue of bitn on every 6treet corner!" SURVIVORS REACH BOSTON 31 Passengers of the Fire-ridden Steamer Ontario MOST WITHOUT BAGGAGE In Spite of the Fact That the Fire Broke Out at 2 O'clock in Morning, There Was No Panic Except Among Steerage Passengers.

New York, April !.--What the police think is another antoinoliile killing put t lie detectives ill the West One Hun dred miiiL Twenty-fifth street tation at work Sunday night, apparently without the slightest clue to go upon. An old woman, unconscious hut still breathing, was found in the rain and the dark, prop'd up against the Harlem II. il iron building, One Hundred and Twenty-first street and Kighth avenue, with injuries that the police think must have come from being hit by an auto mobile. She died an hour later in Har lem hospital without regaining con sciousness. The police iound, however, a news paper reporter who bad ben standing at the coiner of One Hundred and Thir ty -third street and St. Nicholas avenue, which joins Kighth avenue nt the Flat- iron, w ho a few minutes before the wom an was found, had seen a large black touring car. covered with a canopy against the rein, which had gine south at a rate which the reporter approxi mated at 50 miles an hour. This, and an analyst of whi't had happened drawn fiom the wounded woman's injuries, are all the police have to work upon.

The melt ing of the deep snow in the north woods during the last few days has raised the Connecticut and Amnionoosuc rivers and minor streams in this section to freshet pitch and much damage has lieen done.
