 Mrs Murphy, who formerly lived in Litchfield, knew the children and took them in. As soon as Willie. who is a very delicate child, entered the house he was overcome by fatigue, and it was found necessary to summon phy sician. Res toratives were applied and the boy rallied sufficiently to take nourishment, The physician in attendance stated that had the boy walked two miles further it would have cost him his life
 The children walked fully twenty eight miles before reaching Thomaston.

Justice in RuAaio.

Ivan Demitrieff sued his laborer, Pc tro Demitrieff, before a justice of the peace in St. Petersburg for damages to the amount of fifty rubles, because the laborer had spoiled his horse. "Demi- trieff vs. Demitrieff," called the justice.
 Are plaintiff and defendant related p 'To be sure" answered the plaintiff; i; ''the laborer Is my father" The jus ice. was amazed at this answer and tried to persuade the Gtigant son to drop the case against his father. But the son would not listen to 1t, insisting that he demanded justice, and that the fudge had no business to take the part of the defendant because the latter hap pened to be the plaintiffs father. The case was tried in due order, and xpdg- ment was found in favor of the de- fendant. The plaintiff, however, was determined to have his father punished, and appealed from the decision of the court. The case was tried again in a higher court, and the judgment of the lower court was sustained. Leaving the court room the son exclaimed, ''There is no use trying to obtain jus tce in holy Russia l"-Chicago Herald.

Turned Out of House to Find a Home
 for Themselves.
 Last weeks Litch6eld Enquirer con- tains pitiful story. About three weeks ago Mrs William O'Rourle was taken to the town house hopelessly insane. Ten days later she died. Previous to her removal tn the town house her four children, all of tender years, lived with her. When they were left without a mother, an aunt of theirs living in Mer- ilen arrived in the village and volun- eered to take them homo with her and iring them up with her own children. The children's names were John, Kate, Willie and Michael, aged respectively IA, 12. g and 6.
 The Enquirer continues the story ss follows: "The little ones had not long been in their ,sunt's house when the children of the latter began to quarrel with the orphans.

Biz Profits in Medicines.

It is not to be wondered at that peo- pie are anxious to go into manufactur ing companies, and that the stock of various inventions is easily foated. De- tails come out occasionally about some of the widely advertised patent medi- cines, and special methods of making such staples as baking powder, soap and kitchen necessaries, which cause conservative investors in real estate and similar things to stare in amazement. A short time ago it was revealed in the course of Q lawsuit that stock in big baking powder company in this city had reached the enormous value of &4, POO 8 share, the original value of such shares being $100. A patent med icine man sued his wife, and incidental ly it was stated that forty-nine shares of the patent medicine had paid the enormous dividend of &49, ,O0O in one year. The real estate boomers of the western cities when they glance at such investments as these are taciturn and crushed for hours at a time.-New York World

 A farmer saw hurricane coming straight toward his barn. Something must be done without delay.
 He seized two boards, and standing before the barn held them as tightly as possible with the ends together in front of him, so that they made a sort of wedge. In this way he spread the hurricane apart, and it took off only the two corners of the barn.

Nothing Can Take the Placo of Rest.
 Health, like weather, may "break," and when once it is broken nobody knows when the barometer will mark 'sset fair" again. Weariness, coming in the ordinary course of work, without any special and temporary cause, is natures demand for an immediate holi- day.
 As nothing in the world can properly satisfy hunger except food, so no drug or stimulant of any kind except rest can restore the weary to energy and health. The doctors tonic is a very good thing in it's way, but it will no more act as 8 substitute for rest than a glow worms light will serve the same purpose as the moon.-Hospital.
