comes,from far.away Y ankeedom.
Farmers along the line of the
abandoned Meriden. Waterbury
and Connecticut River railroad
have been victimized by q tramp
under peculiar circumstances. He
stopped at nearly every house
along he road and told thisstory:
my employer, Judge Robert
son, sent me from his New Haven
Office to close up the affairs of the
road. As the land through which
the road runs reverts to the PER.
sons who owned it prior to the
tracks being laid, Judge Robert
son is disposing Of all the passen,

tanks, railroad ties, etc.
The Judge is anxious TO sell
off these encumbrances as soon as
possible, so that the land. can be
titled once more in all its verdant

The man .'sold" over $1,000
worth OF property to Herr Misch-
Ter for 50 on account, and rail.

Cheshire he offered to sell the

Bagley's Boy Knew What 1t Was and Gre.
ated Sensation.
The Bagleys have small boy, and they
are bringing him up on the theory that
the boy is father to the man, and that his
most irrelevant questions should be as
carefully considered and answered as those
OF grown up people.
AT least that was their theory up to last
week, when they had company to dinner,
ana story telling contest afterward in
which young Master Bagley-albeit he is
OF tender age-was allowed to participate.
Bagley senior opened the conversational
bout by remarking in that slightly vague
style of his that the narrowest escape he
ever had from being instantly killed had
happened year or two previous His au-
dience listened eagerly, for he is a good
story teller, but unfortunately he saw the
interest which he had aroused reflected in
the shining eyes of Bagley, Dr., and he
broke off to say:
"You couldn't guess, now, could you,
Johnnie, how papa happened to nearly get
killed."
"Yethir, l CAM" answered Johnnie
promptly.
"Bless the boy. How was it? Tell the
company, my son."

A Tried Remedy for Bi,iousness

Those who suffer from disorder or mao.
ton of the liver will never get the upper
hand of the unruly organ so long as they
use such irrational remedies as blue pills,
calomel and podophyllin. But from the
tried and popular medicine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, they may expect relief
with certainty of obtaining it. The in
fuence of the Bitters upon the great
hillary gland is direct, powerful and
speedily felt. The relief afforded is not
asmodic, but complete and permanent.
The sallowness of the skin, furred ap.
pearance of the tongue, Indigestion, COS
tiveness, headache, nausea, pains through
the right side and shoulder, in fact every
accompaniment of the obstinate COM
plant are entirely and promptly re-
moved by course of this inestimable
medicine, in behalf of which testimony is
constantly emanating from every quarter,
and from all classes of society.

Being of Underlined Views. Waiting to
Land In Office.
The hardest word to define in the
English language is the word Demo.
GRAFT" 1t is said that foreigners who
come to America find their greatest
trouble in learning our language in the
fact that the same word can mean so
many different things. For instance,
there is the word "well. " Tt can be
used in three or more different ways
for example, as an interjection, "Well!
is that sop as an adverb, "The man
who was sick is WE'LL" and as a noun,
"Get me a drink of cool water from the
WE'LL
Such as this mixes a foreigner up. Tt
is even hard for native born Americans
sometimes to use the right word in the
right place.
They are finding much trouble in this
regard at present with the word Demo-
GRAFT Mr.. Grover Cleveland is Demo-

GRAFT. Mr.. Hill of New York has said,
II am a Democrat Messrs. p Wat
Hardin and j. G. S. Blackburn are
Democrats. Mr.. Ben D. Ringo, for
mer editor of The Herald, is Demo-
GRAFT. Mr.. Heber Matthews, who now
edits The Herald, is Democrat. But
we find among these men differences of
opinion on important issues. They rep
al optc ~
and yet are Democrats.
What is a Democrat anyhow? Let us
see. The Democratic platform adopted
at Chicago resulted in a split in the
Democratic party. AS result large
numbers of sound money Democrats
supported Major Mckinley either d.
rectly or indirectly. Sound money Dem
ocrats agreed with the Republicans as
far as finances were concerned
What next? We now find in the Unit.
ed States senate many Democratic sena.
tors who are willing to vote for pro-
tective tariff Oh wool, sugar and cotton.

We are also informed by the Protec-
tive Tariff league that many Democratic
papers throughout the south are de-
manding tariff literature-papers thas
once were insulting to the league be-
cause it offered them such literature
Large numbers of Democrats, therefore,
are standing on the financial and tariff
planks Of the Republican party

will have to get down on their knees
before the Democrats and pray, "Please.
friendly Democrats, can we get up on
our platform?"
In view of the facts, it appears that
Democrat can be anything and every
thing. We therefore give this definition
of the word Democrat A Democrat
is being of the human species who has
no defined views on political issues; a
being whose privilege it is to believe in
and advocate any principle that will
land him in office, no matter how great
or small" anything, o Lord, no mat
