It IS exceedingly dangerous to diso- boy the rules of the road in order to be
 polite to a lady. The recent bicycle collision at Sheffield was caused by the
 gentleman turning to the left while try ing to be polite and give the entire path to the lady. Pohteness does not re- quire @ gentleman to place Q lady's life in jeopardy, and further more risk his own life simultaneously Remember that when wheeling, also when driving, it is your duty to turn to the right when bicycle or team is approaching you. However, it does not always seem necessary for team tc drive into bicycle track and compel the bicyclist to either dismount or turn out into sandy. rough or muddy road

Its fame spread and strangers who heard about it wrote for informa- tion concerning 1t, sometimes tried it's virtues and sometimes put trial off for a more convenient season. To tell how it was dragged from an obscure country village and placed before the general public, would be interesting reading, but lack of space compels us to with hold the particulars. It is sufficient to know that over year ago 1t came to Hartford like it had gone to every other city and town in the North, unpreten- | tious. and unassumipg. It said: "I can do certain things; investigate my claims; try me if you have backache or kidney ache, and you will not be disap- pointed The above is fragment from | the history of Doan's Kidney Pills, a preparation which has come to this vi- cinity as we'll as Hartford to stay.

That Gold Mine AT SOUTH CANAAN IS
 INEXHAUSTIBLE.

The Whiting c. Kellogg farm, so call. ed, at South Canaan, Conn. is better than Gold Mine. Why? Because it never fails to yield 8 handsome revenue. On that farm they dig gold with a mow- ing machine. The crops all turn into gold, and just at present there is Col den Opportunity there because the farm must be sold to close an estate. A few years ago the owner (now deceased) valued the farm at twenty thousand dol lars 1920. .000) and refused an offer of sixteen thousand dollars (Sl6, ,000) for 1t. Now is the first chance to buy the farm at less than those figures. A former tenant sold over two thousand dollars (e2 000) worth of produce one year be- sides keeping enough to supply his family. The present tenant receives five hundred dollars (S500 00) to surren- der short lease of the farm in order that the farm may be sold to close the estate. Now is the opportunity of a life time to buy this farm, and make money in two ways first by purchasing the farm, and second by working the farm. Better invest here than in Klon- dike. Remember that Klondike is over 1900 miles from . railroad while this farm is only one mile from the Berk- shire Division of the New York, New Haven S Hartford Railroad. The fol lowing is 0 description of the farm:
 Adjoining the Congregational Church at South Canaan, Conn, containing 225 acres, divided as follows; 145 acres of rich meadow land. 40 acres of fertile pasture and 40 acres or good wood land
 No rocks. stones or stumps on any of the cleared land; in fact all the cleared land. including the pasture. except sey- eral acres, can be moved with a mach ine.. The wood land is also on a level tract. Two large dwelling houses, 2 large barns, 1 grain building, horse barn. ice house and other out build- ings on the premises. All the buildings are in good repair and the land is in high state of cultivation. Plenty of fruit and shade around the houses. Will sell, if desired. all the farming imple- ments. also the COWS and hay enough to keep them until spring The Hollen- beck river runs through the farm and there are four wells on the premises, al- so running water from never failing spring is brought to one house and one barn. This farm extends within one mile of Falls Village. It can be divid- ed into two or more farms if desired.

Other views are of comedy scenes, the comedy element, in fact, holding the chief place in the collection this week. Among these comedy views are one showing a prominent New Haven club man going home after a night of 1ollity at the club, and another showing a mischievous urchin who places a brick in a hat in the way of an approaching pedestrian. The little imp is seen peer ing around corner just as the pedes- trian kicks the hat.
