EYES WOULD BURN AND STING
"It Is just a year ago that my sis-
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as If she had saud In them.
Theu we used all of the home reme-
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to bathe them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to a doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said It was a very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close-
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied elec-
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or

doctor, we could see very little Im-

after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cutlcura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and In six weeks she was cured."

OLD FORT GEORGE Hood
Sarsaparilla
Interior of Maine Fortress Is Now
a Ball Ground. ,
Historic Earthworks Built By tho BrtS-
•eh In 177* and Named In Honor
of England's King—Outlines
Still Visible.
Augusta. Mo.—Ancient Pentagons
hotter known as Castlne. situated on
the eastern aide of Penobscot bay and
river, la one of the most prominent
historic spots In Maine today. It haa
preserved the well-marked traces of
the works of tho paot and no small
settlement haa within Its borders so
many earthworks and old forts. Fore-
most among tho .earthwork# ts Fort
George, situated on the tigb land In
the center of the peninsula. It was
built by tho British In Juno. 1779. and
was named Fort George In honor of
hla majesty, George III. The fort Is
tetragonal In form with s bastion at
each of the four angles. The baatlon
where was located the magazine was
fdlly occupied by It, the entrances be-
ing made of arch passages of brick,
which may be seen today, covered
with mortar, and over them a layer
of loga with a heavy covering of
earth.
According to tradition and history.
It was from there same barracks that
Gen. Peleg Wadsworth escaped when
held a prisoner In 1780, after being
captured by the English at hla home
In Thomaston and taken to Castlne,
where be was confined for a long time.
Following the departure of the British
from Castlne In 1815 the Americans
took possession of the fort and the
government had It repaired, strength-
ened and garrisoned, new barracks
taking the place of those used by the
British. The Interior of the fdrt has
long been used by the boys as a ball
ground. The foundations of the old
barracks are still visible.
History says that it was In this old
fort tl at the gibbet was erected on
which both Ball and Elliott were
hanged. Both names were well
known In the early period of Maine.
The palisades, the barracks, the muni-
tions of war and Its buildings have all

disappeared, but otherwise tha old
fort remains practlcaly the same as
when the British left It.
In early February of 1780, while
the country was In a session of quiet-
ude following the conflicts of the pre-
ceding fall. General Campbell, then
In charge of the garrison at Fort
George, learning that his hated Amer-
ican foe, Gen. Peleg Wadsworth, was
at hla home on the St. George river
In Thomaston, determined to make
him a prisoner. The British general
bearing that his only guard was six
soldiers, he detailed Lieutenant Stock-
ton with a force of twenty-five men to
maks the capture. A sharp sanguin-
ary fight took place, In which several
of the British soldiers were killed and
wounded.
The newa of the capture preceded
the detachment on their return to
Caatlne. The story Is here told that
General Campbell sent his compli-
ments to General Wadsworth and a
surgeon to dress his wounds, assuring
him that hla situation would be made
comfortable. He was furnished with
books and allowed to receive visitors.
He dined with the commandant and
met all the principal officers of the
garrison.
It was not long before General
Wadsworth made application for a
flag of truce, by which means he
could transmit a letter to the gover-
nor of Massachusetts and another to
Mrs. Wadsworth. This was granted
on the condition that the letter to the
governor should be Inspected.
General Wadsworth's escape follow-
ed soon after. In company with Major
Benjamin Burton he bribed their w#
ter carrier and from him received a
gimlet. They bored holes In the
boards of the side of their barracks,
covering the holes with chewed bread.
One stormy night they cut their way
out with a knife and escaped. For
milea they were forced to go through
the then wilderness, crossing the
river to 8tockton, thence south
through Belfast. Northport and Rock-
land to Thomaston. The fort was
finally vacated In 1815.

Possesses medicinal merit Peculiar to Itself and ha* aa
unequaled record of cures. Take it this spring, in usual
liquid form or tablets known as Sarsatabs.
Spring Humors are due to tho Im-
pure, Impoverished, devitalised condi-
tion of the blood brought about by
tho unhealthful modes of living dur-
ing the winter, too close confinement,
too little outdoor air and exercise, too

them and builds up the whole system.
Hood's Sarsaparilla has no equal
for cleansing tho blood and expelling
the humors that accumulate during

cures because It combines the utmost
remedial values of more than twenty

Private Leahy Questions Ssrgsant
Donahue Regarding a Point in
Military Law.
Private Donahue and Private Leahy
were the best of friends, but when
Private Donahue became Sergeant
Donabue, Private Leaby saw the fall-
ings of his former companion with
amazing clearness.
"Sergeant," he said one day, after
long, fixed gazing at hla superior In
ray.k, “if a private stepped up to a
sergeant and called him a consated
little monkey, phwat wud happen?”
“He'd be put in the gyard-house,"
•aid the sergeant.
"He wud?"
"He wud."
"But If the private only knew the
sergeant was a consatod little mon-
key. and paid nlver a wurrd, wud he
be put In the gyard house for that?"
Inquired Private Leahy.
“Av coorre he wud not,” said the
sergeant, loftily.
"Well, thin, for the prisent we'll
I’rve It go at that," said Private
L iahy.
Doubting His Word.
Two Irishmen occupied beds In the
same room. By and by one of them
woke up.
"Mike." said he, "did you put out
the cat?”
“I did," said Mike.
An hour later Patrick woke up
again.
“Mike," said he, '‘Mike, did you put
out the cat?"
"Sure I did," said Mike, sleepily.
"On me word of honor."
Some time later Patrick again
waked up.
"Mike," said he, “Mike, ye dlvvle;
ye did not put out the cat"
"Well," said Mike angrily, “If yn
will not take the word of honor of a
gintleman get up and put her out
yeraelf.”
Barmaids In South Australia.
South Australia la suffering from •
barmaid famine. Two years ago bar-
maids were abolished In that state by
net of parliament No more could be
legally engaged, but those already em-
ployed could remain on condition that
they registered themselves.
There are now only 400 of them left,
and the competition for their serv-
ices is such that their wages have
jumped from 25 shillings to £3 a
week. The hotels that have had to
employ barmen report a considerable
change for the worse in their receipts.
All Bnakss Are Killers.
But all snakes, great and small, are
killers. All of them eat creatures
which they slay. None eat vegetable

animals which they find dead. That
Is one reason, no doubt, why they have
always been shunned and drsaded by
human beings.

A FOOD STORY
Makes a Woman of 70 “On# In 10,000.”
The widow of one of Ohio's most
distinguished newspaper editors and
a famous leader In politics In his day,
says she Is 70 years old and a "stron-
ger woman than you will find In ten
thousand," and she credits her fine
physical condition to the use of Grape-
Nuts:
"Many years ago I had a terrible
fall which permanently injured my
stomach. Ftor years I lived on a
preparation of corn starch and milk,
but It grew so repugnant to me that I
had to give It up. Then 1 tried, one
after another, a dozen different kinds
of cereals, but the process of diges-
tion gave me great pain.
"It was not until I began to use
Grape-Nuts food three years ago that
I found relief. It has proved, with the
dear Lord's bleating, a great boon to
me. It brought me health and vigor
such aa I never expected to again en-
joy, and In gratitude I never fall to
sound Its praises.” Name given by
