The annual picnic of St. Roses Parish will bo held this year with unusual dis play, nnd the indications are that the day will bc one of great pleasure. The Par ish Drum Corps are still studlously en- gagged practicing for the occasion, and we can safely say that their music will be highly appreciated. The corps has ad- ded cornet which Mir. John F. Lenihan handles with skill, although he has been only few months under instruction. Mir. Lenihan has for his instructor Mir. o'Brier, Of South Britain. q gentleman who Is acknowledged to be n fine cornet player and efficient teacher. Our best wishes attend the corps and we hope that in short time Is position will be second to none In the state.

 And thinking from these to find rest; Be assured that in vain are your hopes,
 The Branchville Spring Bed is the best. In tho gloom of the dark midnight hour
 When the tolls of the day are. all past, How delightsome that magtcal power,
 That locks all our senses at last. But your sleep to be healthful and sweet,
 And refreshing from toes to your head, Must be free from those terrors that greet
 All who use not the Branchville Spring Bed.
 Now if nightmares and ghosts you'd defy And dream of the bliss that's to come, The BranchviIle Spring Bed you must try It will bring joy and peace to your | home.
 You may try them month if you choose, Just to find out how nicely they lie, Then to buy them you cannot refuse.
