death of a child at Stafford Springs a
few days ago, under peculiar circum-
that town. y German who has been
stopping in the town offered to extract
a number of teeth of a child of his
hostess, Mrs Muller, and further repre-
scented himself as doctor. He ad-
ministered narcotic to the child, who
never rallied from the effects of the
drug. A physician was called but
could not save the life of the child.

KELLY ON
CHEWING GUN

Chewing Gum appears to be getting
into court unduly. There does not APP
pear to be anything especial about chew
ing gum TO take it into the civil courts,
although it is readily admitted that it fills
very prominent place in the Court of
Cupid but it struck the civil court in
Reading, Penn, in rather uncivil man.
ner one day last month. Mrs Harmon
Brumbach, a milk woman, had Mrs Mary
Resh arrested for using outrageous and
insulting language. Mrs Resh attempted
to Justify herself by saying that she
had found chewing gum in the milk she
had purchased. Mrs Brumbach said she
had no teeth to chew gum with, being in
the uncertain stage between the extrac-
ton of all her molars, bicuspids, etc, and
a new Set of store teeth. Ignoring the
fact, that having no teeth she could only
gum, the alderman, who had the matter
under consideration, settled the contro-
versy against the lady who objected to
gum in her milk by filming her g. cents
for wo oaths-sort of bi-cuspid, OF cur
sorry remarks-which she had used in ex-
pressing her opinions ON the chewing
gum.
Why is it that KELLY'S CHEWING
GUM has a fresher flavor than what we
buy in other places? Because he is a
wholesaler and receives gum fresh every
week.

often broke out i'll L piercing squawll
with one Of them, much to Lusbc'S
amusement The parrot, which was
quite Il little vaTabOnd, broke loose
from her fetters one day and flew over

A searching party was made up, and

Democrats themselves cut but little
fignre with us, politically. The strong
party in South Dakota is the Farmers
