But They Ate His Troul,

An amusing anecdote is related OF
Count Kanitz, who is one OF the
prominent leaders of the German
agriculturists in their opposition to
the government. When the Emperor
lately visited Konigberg, Count
Kanit', who counted on obtaining an
invitation to the imperial banquet,
requested that he should be allowed
to furnish the trout The request
was gladly accepted, and Count Kan.
itz sent APO trout from KoniRsberg.
Then he received a dispatch stating
that his name had been struck of
the list of those to be invited. The
count thereupon Immediately wired
to Konigsberg to stop the fish being
forwarded. The fish had, however,
already, been sent off, and it is stated
that all the guests at the banquet
greatly enjoyed them, The Emperor
was afterward Informed Of the Incl.
dent and he is said to have laughed
very hearth over it.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live beta
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is mans
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup OF Figs,
and being well informed, you will no
accept any substitute il offered.

TOBACCO TAKING"

People who make speciality OF un-
comfortable statistics have lately as
serted that warehouseful OF to-
bacco is consumed by smokers In this
city every day of the year. AS a
unit of measure the warehouse is a
vague and variable quantity, but 1t
carries the impression Of unlimited
tobacco and an innnitude of smok-
ing. But this Is not all, for the
statisticians no not seem to include
in this statement the amount OF

Doubtless Just such prevalence OF
habit did the General Courts" OF
Connecticut foresee when it drew up
the famous blue Laws" bearing
date in the year of our Lord 1850.
The good people Of Windsor, Hart
ford, and Wethersfeld established
this court by provision OF the Civil
Compact of 1888.
The smoker OF to-day may medi-
tatively wonder at legislation that
made license from the court and a
prescription from 'some approved
for knowledge in skill and phislck"
necessary before one could begin the
use of the fragrant weed, and that
prohibited the taking of any ITO
backo in the streets, highwayes or
any barne yards" Fortunately, the
cigarette had not attained its later
deadliness, else the violator of the
statute might not have escaped with
so light fine.

In the death OF Mrs. Mary A. Dunsmoor
wife OF AFRO. L. Adams. our community
has lost one who had endeared herself BY
her kind acts and loving ways to all who
shared her acquaintance.
She and her husband have lived seven
years In the house where she died. Their
united life has been such that 1t is pleas
ant to look back upon. Last Christmas
was the fifteenth anniversary Of their
marriage. These years have united them
more closely together in tender sympathy
and oneness OF life. For many years she
had not known the blessing that comes
from good health but in all her suffering
and weary days she has manifested brave
spirit and devout Christian patience.
Active hands and loving eyes anticipated
her every want. Deeply did she appreci-
ate the constant service of love rendered
to her and she made home pleasant by her
kind words and loving nature. This
event casts shadow beyond her home to
that household In which she was born.
1t touches the hearts Of mother, brothers
and sisters.
She was member OF family OF twelve
children, six OF whom are still living and
all, with their mother, were present at her
funeral, excepting one sister, who was
sick.
She was born in Northfield, March 80,
1862, hence was 43 years old. Her death
occurred Oct. 4, 1895.
In days gone by she looked forward to
the closing event that has come to her and
which will, ny and by, come to us all.
y Her religious views were such that
death had no terror to her, but she looked
atit as divine appointment. By her re-
quest Rev. 8. A. Parker attended her fu-
neral In the home where she died, amidst
beautiful flowers on and around her cas-
ket and 10 the presence Of many relatives
and friends who sorrowed that they
should see her pleasant face on earth no
more.
On that perfect day OF October--that
Sabbath evening-we stood around her
open grave and loving hands placed all
that was mortal OF that dear wife, daugh.
ter and sister-in the marrow house pre-
pared for all the living" but believing
she was not there but had gone to the

OF the church to pay what Is known as the

ssGoing into decline" How often do
we hear this expression. What does it
mean? 1t means that people are losing
flesh, growing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to
improve the digestion. The condition
arises from an inability to eat and digest
food. In fact food does more harm than
good because It terments and putrefes In
the stomach, developing poisonous sub.
stances which when absorbed cause vari-
Gus disorders.
What Is required is that the stomach be
made to perform It's duties. The Shaker
Digestive Cordial Is food already digest
ed and 1 digestor Of food as we'll. It will
make the stomach healthy. Get book
from the druggist and read about IL.
