When Harris made Webster secre-
tary of state the rage for office in Mas
sachusetts got to fever heat Among
those who went to Washington was a
neighbor of Mr.. Webster, of habits
too convivial for his own good. The
secretary did his best to get him to
leave Washington, promising the
very first office his old friend could
fill. But the Office seeker, day after
day, went to the state department to
ascertrin if the Office had vet been
found. Mr. Webster gave orders not

looks showed it. Drawing a large

Mr.. THOMAS A lIowARn, Of Honey Grove, t&a-
min County, Texas. under date of April 5, 1898,
writes as follows
I have been suffering during several years from
severe Illness, and general breaking down Ut my
physical system, and have tried the treatment and
prescriptions of many doctors far and rear, and
travelled 10 the Hot Springs and other mineral
springs famous for their remedial qualities, drink
ing the waters and bathing systematically in their
healing depths, but all TO no avail, as steadily
failed in health; and although informed by my
physicians that my ailments and weaknesses were
the result OF kidney disease Of a dangerous char
acter, they could give me nothing TO cure me Dur
ing the past two years my suIerings at times were
dreadful and had the most Understandable pains in
the regions about the kidneys, the paroNySnlS of
which were So severe to render it impossible for
ME to sleep. While in this depiorahie ami diScou-
aged condition was persuaded 10 Try Hunt Rem
edy and after using less than half bottle my great
SufferingS and paroxySm of pain were entirely re
heved, and could sleep better and longer than |
had in two years before, and Thought am nov On
my third bottle only my improvement is Ncry IT
markable, and regret that did not know OF the
wonderful curative powers of Hunts Remedy DO
fore, as it would have saved me years OF suffering.

kidney disease or disease of the urinary organs"

IN WELDING WOODLAND:
BY.G. II. S.

In wilding woodlands, o how sweet.
To wander forth, forgetting
Within some shady, lone retreat
THE cares that life keep fretting;
The world may never enter whore
Sweet Nature hath her dwelling;
Her royal blessings she win have
In love that's past exceliing.
Fresh are the odors which arise,
Cool are the morning moistures,
Where branches hide the lighted skies
!, And roof the silent cloisters;
In bosky depths the wood-bird calls
AS near his mate he watches,
While other birds sing madrigals
And others sing light catches.
Ger floors of slate and pebbles round.
BY tufts of herbs and grasses,
The forest brook keeps up sound
OF music as it passes.
Upon the banks along its side.
Are lady ferns and MOSES,
While over all in stately pride,
The elm its branches losses.
There is a spirit power that stays
To welcome each new conner
Within those wilding woodland ways
In Winter or in Summer:
The world may never enter where
Sweet Nature hath her dwelling,
Her royal blessings she will share
In love that's past excelling.

tinued till July 10, when to the sur
prise of his family he strobe to the
front veranda. Seated in a rustic
chair, he heard passing teamster adj
dress his cattle, and as if in mimicry,
sang out, Whoa the first exclama-
ton he had made during 213 days.
On Monday night last week he went
to his room as usual. During the
night he left it stealthly, and clad in
his thin garments, slippers, an apology
for hat and no money, started to
walk to the city. He must have reach
ed Hawleyville before midnight, 9TH
erwise the depot watchman there
would have seen him, and following
the tracks of the Housatonic railroad
reached here Tuesday morning.
Among the crowd at the station in
this city he did not attract attention
at first, but after awhile Mr. George
Arnold. of the police force saw his
actions and convinced that there was
something wrong, took him into Gus
tody. The description of Sherman
w. Plat and the story of his long
sleep were familiar to the officer. and
he set about the task of identification.
Mr.. Arnold called in ex-Mayor Dan
lei N. Morgan, who formerly lived in
Newtown, and one glance Of that gen
tleman sufficed 1t was indeed Mr..
Platt. AT the Office of Chief Marsh
various expedients were adopted to
extort words from Mr. Platt. He
danced, walked, and smoked a pipe
when asked to do so, but exhibited no
inclination or desire to speak, and it
is ascertained did not utter word
while in Bridgeport Mr. Wenzar
Plat, his father, was notified and he
conveyed the hero of the longest nap
