to Mothers The beauty and freshness of a child largely depends upon the condition of its skin, which is so tender and sensi- tive that only constant and unremitting care can keep it free from irritation. The first necessity and safe- guard in these matters is a soap that will act like balm upon the dainty skin, that soothes while it cleanses, is kind to the skin, and of a gentle emollient daintiness. No soap answers to this de- scription so completely as Pears’ Soap No soap is so comforting, so pure or so perfect in its hygienic influence. Bad soaps injure the skin and worry the child. Pears softens, pre- serves and beautifies. The skin of a child is kept sweet, wholesome and healthy, and retains its softness and beauty to later years by the regular use of Pears, The Great English Complexion Soap The Episode of the Charter Oak The colonics of Maine and New Hampshire were so closely associated with that of Massachusetts that their his- tory up to 1820 was practically the same. Shortly after the landing of the Pil- grims, say two years or thereabouts, Gorges and Mason obtained from Eng- land the grant of a large tract lying be- tween the Merrimac and Kennebce Riv- ers. This patent was afterwards dis- solved, Mason taking what is now New Hampshire, and Gorges taking Maine. He afterwards sold the State to Massa- chusetts for six thousand dollars. The growth of the State may be noticed since that time, for one county cost more than that last November. In 1820 Maine was separated from Massachusetts, Maine is noted for be- ing the easternmost State in the Union, and has been utilized by a number of men as a birthplace. White-birch spools for thread, Christmas trees and tamarack and spruce gum are found in great abun- dance. It is the home of an industrious and peace-loving people. Bar Harbor is a cool place to go to in summer time and violates the liquor law of the State. The Dutch were first to claim Con- necticut. They built a trading-post at Hartford, where they swapped bone col- lar-buttons with the Indians for beaver and otter-skins, Traders from Plymouth who went up the river were threatened by the Dutch, but they pressed on and established a post at Windsor. In 1635 John Steele led a company “out west” to Hartford, and Thomas Hooker, a clergyman, followed with his congregation, driving their stock before them. Hartford thus had quite a boom quite carly in the seventeenth century. The Dutch were driven out of the Con- necticut Valley, and began to look towards New York. Soon after this the Pequod War broke out. These Indians had hoped to form an alliance with the Narragansetts, but Roger Williams prevented this by see- ing the Narragansett chief personally. Thus the Puritans had coals of fire heaped on their heads by their gentle pastor, until the odor of burning hair could be detected as far away as New Haven, The Pequods were thus compelled to fight alone, and Captain Mason by a coup d’état surrounded their camp* be- fore daylight and entered the palisades with the Indian picket, who cried out, “Owanux! Owanux!" meaning “ Eng- lishmen, ishmen.” Mason and his men killed these Pequods and burned their lodges to the ground. There has never been a prosperous Pequod lodge since. Those who escaped to the forest were shot down like jack rabbits as they 2168 Reduce or Increase Your Weight Improve Your Health Perfect Your Figure Become my pupil and I will make you my friend Devote fifteen minutes daily to my system and you can weigh what Nature intended.
