Ia moment more the boy was gone Ike

Burton lighted the 'bulrs-eye" to exam

Joe looked at his watch The boy had
been gone an hour, and must have reached
Haskins' long ago. Hasl1ins would ride
two miles to the station, wake up the agent,
and telegraph to Lynn. The county seat

time would elapse between the receipt of
the telegram and the starting of the men.

Joe thought he heard low talking inside;
that the lock was being cut out he was
certain, but how many were awake he
didn't know.
Jupiterl they were at the outer door.
Joe put his weapon close to the keyhole and
cooked It. The click of the revolver was
not lost on those inside; there was pause,
a whispering and someone said: "Who's
there"
Joe didn't reply, and for awhile all was
still. Then key was inserted in the lock.
Yes, the boy had said one of them carried

Painted New Haven Red.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, November 25.-The
appearance of people on the streets going to
church put an end to the antics of Yale men
who had celebrated their victory over Har-
ward continuously ever since the special
from Springfield arrived, at o'clock last
evening. At cafe kept by j Jules Prokasky
party of 60 students bought pet black
bear which the proprietor had on exhibition,
and started off on tour with il. The first
place visited was Moriarity's ''Iemple Bar"
a resort frequented by students exclusively.
The bear was first decorated with a wreath
of blue violets, and little tufts of blue
ribbon were tied into his long hair. A
dozen or fifteen of the students got Bruin
into corner and forced quart bottle of
champagne into him. He soon became
giddily intoxicated, but grew drunker as
he was alternately filled with whisky and
brandy.
The bear seemed to enjoy the sport, and
was finally taken out on the old green and
set at liberty. 1t walked toward two DO
licemen, who hastily sought headquarters,
where the pranks of the collegians were re,

Constipation,

I T not remedied in season, is liable to
become habitual and chronic. Dras-
tic purgatives, by weakening the bowels,
confirm, rather than cure, the evil.
Ayers Pills, being mild, effective, and
strengthening in their action, are gener-
ally recommended by the faculty as the
best of aperients.
"Having been subject, for years, to
consultation, without being able to find
much relief, / at last tried Ayers Pills.
1 deem it both duty and a pleasure
to testify that have derived great ben
eft from their use. For over two years
past 1 have taken one of these pills
every night before retiring. Iwould not
willingly be without theme. W.

"I have been taking Ayers Pills and
using them in my family since 1857, and
cheerfully recommend them to all in
need of safe but effectual cathartic."
John M. Boggs, Louisville, Ky.
"For eight years I was afflicted with
constipation, which at last became so
bad that the doctors could do no more
for me. Then I began to take Ayers
Pills, and soon the bowels recovered
their natural and regular action, so that
now am in excellent health. rs. L.

FACTS ALL FIKAKCIERS WILL READ

Expansion of our national bank circula-
ton is the chief aim expressed by the Con-
troller of the Currency in his forthcoming
report The methods he suggests to bring it
about, the flaws in the present national bank
laws, and many new and interesting COM
parisons lead up to his deductions.

The Controller says he has avoided the dis

suggested for substituting other securities for
United States bonds as a basis of circulation.
and that he has confined himself to the

that the consideration of propositions

setting hens at night and put them In a
slat coop and allow them to remain there
for three days, giving them plenty OF food
and water, but do not give them more
than they can eat, as it is liable to sour
and make them sick Some of the hens
get sick more than the others; the gray
and white-speckled ones get sick quite of
ten and the Others not at all.
There are no stones around here, and
we have to crack up crockery fine enough
for them to eat; when you throw out a
handful to them they will eat it quickly.
If there is any sour milk we give it to
them. They spend about q quarter of
their time scratching and wallowing in
the sand, and it serves to keep them
healthy most of the tune. There are no
condition powders in the house for them.
Sometimes chicken or two has the sore
head and we rub PETROLEUM on it before it
gets bad, and it generally cures them. We
give them raw ground bone and scatter
lime in the hen house.

two years, and the last year we made a
