CARRIED OFF A BOY.

 Surnrisas Folks in Norwell5

Thirty-two Pound New Canaan Turkey
 Surprises Folks in Norwalk.
 For the following story the Norwalk Hour is responsible:
 Isaac G. Hamilton, proprietor of the Norwalk hotel. has a big turkey that has made a name for himself Tn the ancient fairy tales it was the gigantic roc, the fierce eagle, the untamed con- dor of the Andes, or some other mon- strous thing with wings, that carried off the small boy, but on Wednesday afternoon 8 plain, unassunling thirty two pound turkey arose in his wrath ard attempted to emulate the deeds of the fierce birds of prey So well did he succeed that little Harry Cahill, son of MT. John H. Manning of River street, is nursing a right arm that is broken squarely across near the shoulder, and has splintered bone a short distance down.
 "Nr Hamilton and R. $. Craufurd captured this particular turkey in New Canaan. It was intended for a raifle, but, until it was needed, the bird was placed in a big cage in, which it
 
 afternoon the bird got loose and flew to the top of the barn at the rear of the hotel. Harry Cahill, who knows no fear, was soon in pursuit. He mount> cd to the roof and by slow, cautious wriggling, soon had his 'turkeyship by thelegs. The frightened birds wirgs be- gan to thrash the air, in a wild endeav- or to get away, and the boy was lifted completely from his feet and carried over the edge of the roof. His hold on the turkey broke and he plunged onto a pile of debris, only to be picked up badly injured
 "The little man took his tumble philo- sophically and calmly waited Dr. Ira cey's appearance, when the fracture was reduced. Even now he appears to be more interested in the turkey, which was quickly captured and caged after the accident

Post,s Wonderland Theater.

A great show at the Wonderland this week. The Aerial ballet, brilliant spectacular number, which pleases a great many, is the leading feature and earns it's success by a prismatic dis play of feminine conlliness in graceful dances, enhanced by stage and electric effects. Willard Simms, a monologue entertainer, who sings his funny stories and supplements them with the very best of nnirnicry, makes the big hit of the show. A very delightful act is given by two unassuming but pretty girls the Misses Darelle and Mellaro, who play the violin, cello and piano and sing with excellent style and taste. This is from musicians point of view, about the best musicl act ever seen in the house. Others are the Review iConl- edy Three, Mile. Adele with shadow graphs; Allen and Delnain, Clements, Marshall and Little Sunshine and Les ter and Germain Prices, 10 and 20 cents.

PECULIAR PolSoMs.
IN THE H LYMAN BODY.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
 Food.


 Every living thing, plant or animal, contains within itself the germs of cer- tain decay and death.
 In the human body these germs of disease and death (called by scientists Ptomaines), are usually the result of imperfect digestion of food; the result Of indigestion or dyspepsia.
 The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does not promptly and thoroughly di- gest the food. The result is a heavy, sodden mass which ferments (the first process of decay) poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning the brain causing headaches and pain in the eyes.
 Bad digestion irritates the heart causing palpitation and finally bringing on disease of this very important or gan.
 Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, causing Br, ,ghts disease and diabetes.
 And this is so because every organ every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows itself not only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy complexion.
 The great English scientist, Huxley said the best start in life is sound stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly, because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids Qac- tic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic products; the most sensible remedy in all eases of indigestion, is to take after each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets, because they supply in pleasant, harmless form all the ele- ments that weak stomachs lack.
 The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure every form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach
 They increase flesh, insure pure blood strong nerves, a bright eye and cleal complexion, because a1l these result only from wholesome food we'll digest ed.
 Nearly all druggists sell Stuart S Dyspepsa Tablets at 50 cents full sized package or by mail by enclosing price to Stuart Go, Marshall, Mich., but ask your druggist first.
 A little beck on stomach diseases mailed free. Address '. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.

THE LAST PAGE OF MY DIARY
 TOR 1887. By request of H. T. Mix we publish the following poem which was writer for and published by the Journal and Courier many years ago. THE LAST PAGE OF MY DIARY FOR
 1867 Day after day, through all the year I've turned a page and noted here Events as they have passed. The book will now contain no more For every page is written Der
 And I have reacher the last. With some regret the last I write, The volume l shall close tonight And lay it then away. One clean and bright will take it's place But it will wear q new, strange face To me, for many day The months come slowly Hitting by As Der these leaves l cast my eye, The past returns again, The hopes and fears, the anxious care, Each hour of pleasure and of prayer, Of trouble and of pain. How much Of wrong and sin I fear I've cherished through the closing year To mar the pages bright How fast the time has passed away, How like a hurried winters day, Or like a dream at night. The sands of life will soon be run, The last page turned, the writing done, And 1 shall be no more. May 1 with care life's pages write, That the new book may open bright Upon the other shore.
