charged with completely, has been To-
Gated at Rutland, at the home of
relative, Smith Kelley. Fdrnsworth
is insane from the effects Of the strain
he underwent during the investiga-
tion. He appeared at West Rutland
last week Monday evening at the home
Of his brother, DR.. George W. Farms
worth, and from there he was taken to
Kelley's home on the Otter Creek
road, Mr.. Kelley being the father-in
law of DR.. Farnsworth. He had ap
parently Travelled some distance before
he reached Rutland, as he came IN on
the train from New York, an entirely
different railroad than he would have
taken to go from Springfield and had
walked overlthe mountain TO Troy.
just where he has been will probably
never be known, as he does not remem-
Der but is thought that he may have
been in New York.
Physically Farnswor.h seems in very
good health, but mentally he is badly
Frustrated. His memory is .ndistinct
generally. but his troubles are contin-
ually on his mind. He is not violent,
however, and as he is very much bet
ter than he was last week it is thought
that he will eventually recover. His
physician, DIR. j. e, Thomson. saws,
however, it will be long time before
he can recover his normal health. At
present he is in condition to see no
one and says the Pope is after him.
1t is probable, however. that Farms
worth did not leave Springfield en-
tirely on his own idea, as c. c. Spell
man, his lawyer, says he advised him
to keep away from the almshouse IN
vestigation. though he did not advise
him to fly from the city

DANGER SIGNALS
AND WHAT THEY MEAN
No Fire Without d Little Smoke.

When we are about to do a wrong
thing, morally, our Conscience warns us
against it.
Ii you see a man about to fall into a
hole, get run over, or walk deliberately
off a precipice, you either shout at him or
try to pull him back
When anything is going wrong in the
body we are always warned.
If it is our lungs, it is by pain and
cough
If it is our brain, it is by dullness and
headache.
Ii it is our heart, it is by faint spells or
palpit alton.
II it is our nerves, it is BY neural gia.
Pain, cough, headache, palpitation and
neuralgia are not diseases They are
simply symptoms or signs that something
is wrong.
To stop these danger signals we must
right the wrong that is causing them.
We cannot do so by smotherlng them
under plasters or deadenlng them with
opiates.
Kidney disease has but few symptoms,
but those symptoms are OF the utmost
Importance and must not be neglected.
little headache, alittle dizziness, dark
ness and puffiness under the eyes, irreg-
ular action of the bowels, bad taste in the
mouth, dryness of the skin, eruption and
pimplcs on the skin, pale or saIlow COM
plexion, specks before the eyes, GOODNESS
of the feet and legs, dimness OF vision, all
point to either disease orinactivity of the
kidneys.
Nature is signalling to YOU There is
danger ahead.
Under the use of DR.. Hobbs Sparagus
Kidney Pills every symptom of diseased
kidneys disappears, and the inhamed or
overworked organs once more regain
their health and strength.
Asparagus is Natures own remedy for
the kidneys and it is a wonder-worker.

have almost come to hold the
opinion that we ought to look with
suspicion upon every group OF chill
dren of which our own form a part
and that we cannot feel safe unless we
know what is going on. Often those
who would be least suspected OF wick
edness are the agents OF sin and will
instruct your little ones in the most
debasing language and habits. Trust
no one not known to be pure.
If mothers could know one-tenth Of
the evil that exists among children
they would be appalled, and if we
would keep our little ones pure we
must know under what influence
they are and what is being taught
them by the children with whom we
allow them to associate. And then
we must teach and warn them. lg-
norance is not safety. The only
thing to do is to educate. Do not
imagine for minute that they re-
main in ignorance if you fail to in
struct them. The question is simply
from whom are they to receive in
struction, from companions whose
very thoughts are poison or from
the mother who in language that is
pure will teach them to look with
reverence and purity upon all that
is good and to abhor that which is
evil.
Let us prepare ourselves for this
work and may not our children go
through life, an easy prey to all that
is bad because we failed to send them
out from our care armed against all
the foes OF vice which may assail
them.

A Picture of the Puritan Sunday

But no picture of Puritan life would be
complete without the Puritan Sunday.
1t began, like the old Jewish Sabbath, on
Saturday night at the going do wn ofthe
sun. AS he declined in the west, my
father would make the circuit of the
household to hush the boyish and bolster
Gus spirit of his children. my sons" he
would say, 1--WE are on the borders Of
holy time" Every implement of labor
was laid aside; no sound of the ak or the
hammer was heard. All was hushed in a
stiffness that was like that of the grave.
And Sunday morning when the church
bell began to toll, its quivering tones
made our hearts culver, as if it were the
voice of God calling us to judgment.
Slowly and reverently we walked up to
the house of the Lord, with an awe upon
our youthful spirits which did not add
NIT of ill-timed gaicty. There were no
loud voices in the Streets no rude
laughter broke the stiffness of the holy
day.
At the village church, apart from the
services of the day, the mere coming to-
gether OF neigbbors and friends, who per-
haps did not see each other on any other
day of the week-the meetings and the
greetings-with all the kindly wishes for
the welfare of ore another, did more for
neighborly friendship and thus for the
peace of the community, than all other
influences combined. Hewho would blot
out from the calendar the Puritan Sunday
would destroy at one blow the simple
life out of which have sprung at once the
homely virtues and the rugged strength
that have made the greatness of New
England.
Nor was the tension of restraint upon
our spirits so prolonged as to break our
real pleasure and enjoyment. When the
services of the day were ended, it used to
be said that the Sabbath began to
abate" There was little letting up o.
the grim sternness that had sat on every
brow. There were answering smiles or
loving faces, and little more freedom il
conversation. Atlength there came to tn,

How long he fingered in the western sky
But kind nature favored us in the noun
