The public commendation and support OF Tue
REPUBLICAN were never more general and cor
dial than they have been in the past year.
They inspire its conductors to endeavor con-
stantly to make II better.
The cheapening Of some Of the elements in the
cost of newspaper production, together with
generous public patronage, have enabled THE
REPUBLICAN to enlarge its outlay for brains.
Its total expenditures steadily increase, and
its readers are now receiving a richer return
for their money than ever.
THE REPUBLICAN is In no sense class news
paper. II appeals to all sections OF the COM
munity, excepting alone the low and vicious.
II Is 5eenly alive to the new problems which
attend the progress Of civilization. II recog-
nizes the immense value of corporate combina-
tions OF capital in improving social conditions.
Rut 1t also appreciates that the greatest dam
ger to individual freedom and democratic gov
ernment lies in the unrestricted operations Of
aggregated wealth. IL conceives one OF its
chief missions, as public newspaper, to be
the advocacy of the rights Of the plain people.
THE REPUBLICAN reports the news OF Western
New England, especially western Massachu-
setts, with the utmost thoroughness. Its gem
eral news service is of the best. 1t deyotes
liberal attention to literature and the arts to
social, industrial and scientific questions.
THE SUNDAY REPUBLICAN contains each week
numerous magazine features of great interest
and value.
THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN presents carefully
edited and arranged review OF the n WIS and
the choicest editorial, literary and other fea-
lures OF the Daily and sunday. II is inyalua-

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours !;
sediment OF settling indicates an un.
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urnate
or pain in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out OF order
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp.
Root, the great k idney remedy. fultils
every wish relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part oi
the urinary passages. 1t corTects inabil-
ity to hold urine and scading pain IN
passing it, or bad effects following use oi
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes thai
unpleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night to
nrinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. II
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. II you
need medicine you should have the best,
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample bot.
tie and pamphlet both sent free by mail,
Mention The Press and send your address
to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N.

antee the genuineness of this offer.

Stafford was represented in the state
republican convention on Wednesday by
Julius Converse, D. E. Wilton and j. R.
Washburn.
Good wood is now selling in this village
for $5 and $3.50 per cord eggs at 40
cents per dozen, and butter at 40 ents
per pound. The use of coal is on the in
crease, and by another winter will be
much greater than ever before.
John D. Ballou and Thomas G. Lathrop
of Tolland are about establishing bone
mill for the preparation of ground bone
for manure, about u miles south of this
village, in Tolland, on the stream from
the west, empying into the river near
Babcock's bridge, and have contracted
with the Stafford Loom Company, for
the necessary machinery.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Stafford National bank the
old board of directors were reelected, as
follows Farley Converse, Moses B.
Harvey, s. T. Preston, Marcus Rowland,
William Smith and s. Newton Hon.
Farley Converse was reelected president
and S. Newton, cashier. A dividend of 5
per cent. free of government tax, has
been declared, payable on demand.
BIRTHS. In this village, 18th, son to
Joseph Cushman; 18th, a son to Lott
O'Halloran.

THAT OLD STONE HoUsE.

"a.
an old stone house, with its Inosses gray,
Where play ed III childhood. gay and free
And dreamed many happy hours away.
ls to me bright. sweet memory
&c stood near a creek whose blithesome song
With dreamy music filled all the air,
As it rolled and danced and gamboled along
Through the meadows with blooming clover
fair
IL commanded view more wide and grand
OF orchard and field and wood and stream
Than any farmsteadsln the land
That borrows naught from boyish dream
And the voices of bees and frogs and birds,
All blending. II. a strange, glad harmony
With the gentle lowing of the browsing herds
Thrill me still as a lingering melody
And the faces of those who made it home,
With smiles of affection so tender and true
cherish most fOnd4y wherever roam
As the falrest sight that ever | knew
Oh, that old stone house. SO mossy and gray
With all that 1t and once enShrlned.
Has cheered for me oft hte's rugged way
As called Its vanished charms TO mind

A French physician has invented a
method by which he says iron can be
given in large doses. Hens, he noticed,
have powerful internal organs They
can digest considerable quantities OF
iron and then render it back, through
the albumen of their eggs, in a form
which is easily d1qested by the weaker
stomach of mankind. So he feeds his
hens with what he calls "a very absorb
ent salt of iron, >" mingled with grains
of wheat, and they lay eggs extremely
rich in iron already digested.

According to Professor Max Weber OF
Amsterdam, the only animals which
surpass man in the absolute weight of
their brains are elephants and whales,
but there are several that rank ahead
of him i'll the ratio of the brain weight
to the total weight of the body. All Of
these, however, are comparatively small
animals Among them are many mon
keys and certain members of the squir-
rel and mouse families. No animal Of
greater bodily size than man has brain
which is relatively as large as his. Up
on the whole, it seems that man men
tai superiority is due rather to the quail
ity and organization than to the size OF
his brain.

His Own Idaa.

1t is said that General Crittenden used
to tell with great glee story of the re-
ply once made to him by his son, then
little boy OF or years
A day or two after the battle of
Chickamauga the little fellow went into
camp. The general rode during. the bat
tie horse which went by the name of
John Jay, great favorite with his
small son. The child showed great de-
light at seeing his father again, but at
last, in the midst of vigorous hug, he
asked suddenly:
Papa, where is John Jay?"
+ oh, said his father gravely, your
horse behaved very badly during the
fight. He insisted, like a coward, on
taking me to the rear. -
The boy looked at him searchingly
for an instant Then his eyes cleaned,
and he held up a remonstrant little fin
ger, pointing it at his parent.
Papa, said he severely, Il know
John Jay would never have done that of
his own will 1t must have been your
work. 8
"There seemed to be nothing for me
TO saS the general usually remarked
in conclusion, "and consequently for
bore to argue the matter. "-Y Youth 8

But had stayed with old nanny in de little

But de wicked old boatman he hab 20 in de

An he'll manage for to keep 70 till he's gaddered

''Den git out OBJ de boat for to make room for

An he won't take de trouble to row you to de
shore.
Den maybe in the morn1n', wild her heart so
berry sad,
Po old nanny find her boy down by de ribber

An she weep an she mourn an she cry so loud,
An make such a noise dat she draw big crowd j;

An / thinks on His face dars sorroWful look
"Dis po boy was murdered by mans cruel greed,
And dey dat votes for de bizness had a hand tn

But what'n dey make when dey reckons up de
whole,
If dey gain de whole world and den lose dey own
soul ~
