rrhe Maine Mate Grantee Report* Mi*
000 Members of the Order.
At the recent annual session of the
Maine state grange the worthy master,
Hon. Obndiah Gardner, said tjiat 1902
had been the most prosperous year for
the ordei In that state of any in its his
tory. About thirty-five new granges
tvere organized, with a total of 5,312
new members, the total state member
ship being 34,100, second only to New
York. Nearly 200 subordinate granges
own their own halls. Twenty-eight
granges have a membership exceeding
200 each, the largest one being 597.
Resolutions were adopted reaffirming
faith iu the principles of prohibition,
pi ilging to work for reconstruction of
divorce laws and for extension of rural
free delivery, recommending that the
next legislature shall grant the right of
municipal suffrage to all taxpaying wo
men of the state. ?, ,

Christmas dinner, and he may have
raised a turnip to eat with the lean
but luscious hog of the forest, but he
has not proclaimed his success in the
turnip patch. He will have to prove
that before he can Join the grange un

fame is a wonderful fertilizer in the
politics of the farther north than Mas

Death of Katlonnl Secretary Trlmhle.
John Trimble, the veteran secretary
of the national grange, died in Wash
ington Dec. 30. He was one of the
founders of the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry thirty-five years ago, and
he lived to see the Order a strong and
flourishing organization. For many
years Mr. Trimble had been the efficient

secretary of the national grange, and
at its recent session at Lansing, Mich.,
be was present, enjoying usual health,
but on his return to his home in Wash
ington he was taken ill, and his ad
vanced years made recovery doubtful
from the first. The national grange
has lost a most efficient and devoted of
ficer and the Order throughout the Un
• ion ono of Its most exemplary members
and assiduous workers.
Hon the Farmer la ■•netted.
The grange Is a benefit to the farner
because it gives him a respect for his
calling and an encouragement to mako
something of himself; because it helps
to train his mind and thoughts to use
fulness; Instills a patriotism and en
genders a spirit of fraternity which is
the greatest sweetener of human toll.
It furnishes a medium through which
his desire for the good of himself ami
others can materialize; it directs his
efforts to greater usefulness. The
grange benefits the farmer Just in pro
portion as he strives through the grange
to benefit his associates. When the in
dividual member ceases to ask of the
grange, "What Is thero in it for ineV"
but asks rather, "What can I put into
it?" then shall the greatest usefulness
of the grange be realized.—W. N. Giles,
Secretary New York Stat® Grange.
What JimH G. Blaine Said.
James G. Blaine once said: "The
farmers of the republic will control its
destiny. Against the storms of popu
lar fury, against frenzied madness that
seeks collision with established order,
against the spirit of anarchy that
Would sweep away the landmarks and
safeguards of Christian society and re
publican government, the farmers of
the United States will stand as a shield
and bulwark, themselves the willing
ftub.jeets of law." To strengthen this
bulwark is the work of the grange, if
the quoted remarks are true, then the
work of the grange appeals to the pa
triotism of all.
Colonel Hezoklah Bowen died recent
ly at Medina, N. Y. He was general
superintendent of the New York state
fair for a quarter century. He served
In the civil war and was brevet lieuten
ant colonel.
Twenty-six states of the Union were
represented at the late meeting of the
national grange at Lansing, Mich.
Religion ContctKloua.
Religion is contagious. Therefore
walk as a child of light. Like the fir#
on the ground thnt creeps from one In
flammable particle to another or In the
woods from bush to bush and tree to
tree, so the truth spreads from heart to
heart. The mother'B piety often afreets
the child. The son becomes a Christian
partly because the father Is one. The
sister's unselfish, consistent life leads
the brother nearer to Christ. The holy
fire, thought by the worshipers to be
from God himself, at the church of the
holy sepulcher at Jerusalem goes when
handed out from person to person,
from taper to taper, till the whole area
Is a sea of dame, and the galleries, too,
are lit up with the sacred blaze. Thus
should the fire of eternal life spread
from man toman, from heart to heart,
till all men shall truly know the Lord.
—Rev. T. 11. Acheson, Presbyterian,
Denver.

Dr. Miles' Nervine Did
Relieve and Cure.
"The doctor tried hut couldn't relieve me"
is a phrase commonly mot with in the letters
we receive from grateful patients. The
reason is piain, The doctor tries to cure the
symptom and neglects the disease. In all
cases of chronic headache, nervousness,
weakness, general debility, dizzy spells, loss
of appetite inabi.ity to sleep, lack of energy,
loss of flesh, lack of interest, morbid tend
encies, hysteria, the disease is a nervous dis
order and some means must lie taken to
strengthen and restore the nervous system.
Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is performing
wonders every day and will cure you as it
lias ftiousanils of others. Kead how quickly
it acted in the following case:
"A few years ago I was greatly troubled
with nervousness and indigestion. While at
work a dizzy spell would come over me and
I would be forced to stop and rest. I suffered
terribly from headaches and my nervousness
was so marked as to cause almost constant
twitching of the muscles. My doctor tried
but could not relieve me. I finally began
the use of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine
and continued until I have used four bottles,
although 1 have not had a dizzy spell since
taking the first dose. lam very thankful foi
what your medicine has done for me and
shall take pleasure in recommending it
whenever I can." —Frank P. Bentlky,Mid
diebury, Vt.
