WORDS OF HOPE FOR WEAK MEN

Men with weakened powers and ex-
hausted vigor have been taught TO be-
lieve that such cases are hopeless They
lose all ambition and give themselves up
to despair. Their condition may be the
result of habits or indiscretions, or it may
be to a certain extent inherited but there
is compensation in nature and these ills
are durable. Seek DR.. Greene, "a Temple
place, Boston, Mass. or write him fully.
He has found the glorious remedies that
redeem manhood, and multitudes Of men
! testify TO the wonderful recuperative
/ powers of the treatment of this great
specialist One of his wonderful discov-
1 cries is the world-famed NerYura. The
| advice of your local doctor you have
found valueless, but the worlds foremost
physician tells you he can cure you and
restore you to usefulness. He will give
\ you advice absolutely free and your case
will be treated with inviolable confidence
Many men have been victims Of costly
\ experiments and are skeptical, but the
broad statements of this eminent physi-
clan can be trusted. Think what restored
vitality would mean to you and hesitate
no longer Write 10 DR.. Greene and be
cured.

TO MAKE A DECISION.
Grafton selsctmen To Look Into Com
pications of New Milford Road.

piCdNOHS OF VIEW NlIOTQ fOGG.
Grafton Nov 15.-The selectmen are
to have a meeting within a few days
complications which have arisen be-
tween the town and the Grafton, Upton
and Milford Street Railway Company
The franchise granted by the town to
the company is for a road direct from
Upton to the centre and also from the
centre to Farnumsville, and the per-
init contains a clause to the effect that
the two divisions shall be built before
either is operated. This puts the town
on a definite footing with regard to the
road, but with the electric people it is
a source of delay, as the company
never formally applied for the Far
huntsville extension in connection with
the main line, and even though this
had been done, the state commission
ers hold that the company could not
legally obtain a permit to extend their
line before the main road was built,
The company is looking for con-
cesSion of the selectmen from the "all
or none policy which they have adopt
ed, but the board is counting on the
possibility of the commissioners becom-
ing less strict in the enforcement of the
laws regarding the technical proceed
ings of electric roads. John F. Sim
mons, who has been the companys
resentative in all matter dealing with
the town, expects to find a way out of
the "muddle," even though the COM
pany is required to live up to the art
icles OF the franchise.
The company has large force of
men at work on the Milford end, clear
ing away brush and preparing the
roadway.

Clinton, Nov. 15.-The interviews in
The Spy, this morning, with Captain
NIoynihan and other officers of the
Ninth regiment have been followed
with statement issued by Rev. A. NJ.
Osgood, who preached the sermon, as
follows:
In the interest of justice to the living
and the dead, who so heroically repre-
scented Clinton in the late war with
Spain, l am satisfied that the quota
ton from Chaplain House, referred to
in my Sunday mornings sermon in the
sentence In fact I have been told by
the most trustworthy source, that the
great disaster and deaths that came
to one of our regiments was due, not
10 the fighting in the trenches of San
tiago. but TO a weakened condition and
disturbance of the stomachs of the
men, brought on by the use of intoX-
icating liquors before arriving in Cuba,
which with extreme heat and exposure
with the extreme heat and exposure
brought fever to many men," was not
true Of the Ninth regiment, which. I
am informed. had no canteen for the
sale of liquor, and should have no ref
erence to the brave soldiers of Co. K,
who lost their lives; for l have trust
worthy authority that Is Of the II who
gave their lives on their country's all
tar were total abstainers.
A. NJ. osgood.
In an interview with the Clinton cor
respondent of The Spy, Mr.. Osgood
asked that the following statement be
made as coming from him. Il am sor-
~ that in my sermon l referred to any
particular regiment. I made a mis-
take when I used the language, And
you know that regiment that Isl When
] spoke 1 referred to the Ninth regi-
ment I did not know that Chaplain
House meant the Ninth regiment, but
] got the impression that he did. I got
the impression from some source that
the discipline was more lax in the
Ninth than in other regiments, and
that there was more drinking in that
regiment. I don't know where l got
the impression. 1t may have been from
something that I read in a newspaper
nor when, nor where. If l am wrong,
am sorry. 1 am especially glad to heal
that Is out of II dead of Co. K were
total abstainers. have always spoken
highly of Co. X and am glad to know
that those men were abstainers."

An UnlOving Wife's Way.

San Francisco Report: ]. D. Moi
fatt, well-to-do citizen of this city
had trouble with his wife and on De-
cember 20, last, he published a notice
that he would not be responsible fol-
his wife's bills after January /. The
lady was quick to see her opportunity
She realized that for ten days between
the dates mentioned her husband
would be responsible, so she went al
over San Jose and bought everything
she wanted and few things that she
did not want. She was quite pleased
with her success and managed in the
ten days to buy up several thousand
dollars worth of goods. When the bill;
came home the husband tore his hair
But the shopkeepers demanded thei,
pay. They were told to go and whistle
for it. Now suit has been brought
against the hard-hearted husband, and
in addition to the original bills he may
have to pay court costs and lawyers
fees.

A THRIFTY INDIAN GIRL.
Marrying Her Was a Most Excellent In

Marrying Her Was a Most Excellent In
vestment-Three Years Savings.
In 1892 the "Seger' school was built
in Oklahoma territory, among a colony
of Cheyennes and Arapahoes, consid-
cred among the widest, most back
ward and nonprogressive of all In
dams, says the Omaha Bee Fortu-
nately the superintendent of the new
school, Mrs. John Seger, had already
gained their confidence in another ca
pacity, so that when they were asked
to put their children in school they
said that they would, as soon as they
we're weaned. And they carried this
out literally. One of the girl pupils,
who entered the school when it was
opened, has had quite a remarkable
record. Having no previous educa-
ton and leaving her really savage
home for the first time, she has dem
onstrated what education is doing and
will do for the red man. There is q
system in nearly all the government;
Indian schools by which those pupils
" AO dix pOIA 4uuuSlllOuS duu lEuSdl
may earn money in the sewing room
on the farm or in some one Of the
schools other Industrial departments
OF course, this must be outside their
regular work. This young girl, afte:
taking regular course as a scholar
was judged capable of filing a salaried
position. In the course of short time
she filled not one but several, and
worked in the sewing room besides
Out of her savings she bought a wa.
gon, harness, team, organ, bedroom
set and a sewing machine, all in view
of her prospective marriage to a young
Indian to whom she was engaged, and
when they were married she took
enough savings with her to build a neat
home. All this was accomplished in
three years time.

There is an old story about some
facetious students making a remark
looking insect by gluing together
parts of various creatures, and then
taking it to their professor and asking
him what kind Of bug that was. The
man Of science glanced at it and
promptly classified it as a humbug.
The professor would have need to ex-
ercise all his wits if he were living in
these days, for young biologist has
succeeded in grating living moths
piece upon piece in ways that have
produced the most astonishing results.
In his juggling with anatomical sub
jects he has created two-headed but
terflies, tandem butterflies, moths with
two heads and no tails. and various
other combinations, all living and
lively and able to give proofs that they
are no humbugs. Beyond these gro
tesque results. there is a possibility OF
important additions to the science o.
biology.
