NEW ENGLAND SQUIRREL HUNTS.
Tricks Employed In Old Times to Fat
Up the Score

From the Springfield Union.
Some quaint customs are TO be found on
Blandford mountain. In the fall, and for
the ensuing six months, Blandford is left
to entertain itself. This is a thing the pro-
gressive residents of the Center and Ding
Hill and other populated points of the town
are perfectly capable of doing Blandford
is predisposed to hunting. The term "soutr
rel hunt" is a misnomer, inasmuch as when
Blandfordites go on a squirrel hunt they do
not always hunt the graceful and sportive
gray squirrel, and see how many of those
tcothsome animals they can bag. but they
as frequently devote their energies wholly 70
the determination of wild life, that is a
pest to the agriculturist, and the hunter as
well. This years hunt, which terminated
after two weeks session during the past
week, was modelled after this latter plan

relic of bygone days among the original
colonists. when it was necessary for the
men to band together every fail ana do

Restoration of Confidence

Three years ago the voice of the peopIe
decreed period of rest. That voice de-
clared for the preservation and perpetual
lion OF that form Of metallic money which
has long been in use by US, as the ultimate
measure of value, and the standard of fu-
ture payments. The welcome assurance
that for at least four years the base of our
commercial exchanges would remain updts-
turbed, operated to restore confidence to
stimulate enterprise to revivify public and
private credit. TO put labor into larger en-
ployment and to increase the rewards Of
both labor and capital.
We have had the demonstration clear
and forcible that the fear of instability in
the money standard works evil and tends
toward industrial paralysis We have had
demonstration, complete and convincing
that confidence In the stability of the stand
ard brings life and activity with their rich
harvest OF benefits to all the people. What.
then, is the duty of those who possess the
power to furnish guarantees for the future?
Marifesty. 1t is to put such guarantees
iato form. and to give them body and sub
stance. The one word most important in
cur commercial affairs is stabiiity-stabiity
Of condi ions. and the most important fea-
;ure TO that stability Is an established
money sfardard. and established that it
cannot bo subverted or changed by any
hasty or 1.l-cnnsid.red action.

tion Of :hat desire and hope nowzseerns too
remote to justify present consideration: but
II those who still cherish II shall offer it IN

that stability on the gold standard is the
only stability now possible to u.s. and If the
time should come when international agree
ment offers a safe and desirable substitu-
ton the freedom Of our representative form
of government will give to our people the
liberty OF choice
IF it be true. as true it undoubtedly Is
that gold is now our standard of money
value. the future needs only the assurance
that it will so continue to be- until at least
the people shall be united in their de-
sire for change therein as to he able TO

Prepare Yourself for Spring
Take DIR. Greene's Nervura, the Best
Spring Medicine i'm the World.

In the spring everybody needs and
should take spring medicine. Spring is
the time TO be cured if you are sick, and
the spring finds most of us in poor condi-
ton, blood poor, nerves relaxed, weak and
unstrung, and the organs clogged and
sluggish in action.
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is the best spring medicine in the
world, the best possible remedy for you to
take, the one sure spring restorative which
will build up your blood, invigorate your
nerves and give you your old-time snap,
vim, energy, strength and vigor.
DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is purely ves table and perfectly
harmless, and now is the time to take it
now Is the time you need it most-now
is the time to be cured.
Mr.. Nicholas Dunn, well known in ST.
Paul, Mian., says:

No other remedy in the world will do
you SO much good as DR.. Greene's Nerv-
IRA blood and nerve remedy. 1t is the
true spring medicine, the ideal spring re-
storative and straightforward.
No remedy is so sure 10 purify the blood
and strengthen the nerves, to bring back
bloom and color TO the wan and faded
cheeks, the brilliancy 70 the hollow and
haggard eyes, the hghtness and elasticity
to the weak and weary steps, the strength,
vigor and vitality 10 the uustrung, shat
tered and worn out nerves. 1t is, indeed,
the greatest of all spring medicines, for it
makes those who use it we'll and Strong.
Mr.. Isaac Kelley, Landscape Gardner,
Haverhill, Mass, saws:
During the past spring was feeling nun down

that he properly gagged the condition
Of the public mind en- the subject OF
Philippine annexation? Is he abSo-
lutely certain that one swallow makes

for in his Home Market address he

treaty had passed the Senate by over
tWo-thirds and was sanctioned by the
judgment of nine-tenths of his coun-
trymen. How that treaty finally got
its two-thirds majority in the Senate

against it, no man knows
BETTER THAN MR.. M'KINLEY.
Adulation has indeed sorely blinded
the Chief Executive to the truth if he
imagines that even the majority of his
countrymen approve of this permanent
holding in the Orient. Let him not
pin his faith too securely to the sordid
interests which clamor so loudly in
his hearing. If he will but quiet the
noisy throng which surrounds him long
enough to put his ear to the ground
and listen he will distinguish the pre-
monitions of the coming storm; he
will hear the steady tread, not of the
100000 men whom he demands for a
crusade against liberty, but of mighty
army Of free people who are beginning
to move in defense of their cherished
traditions and their violted honor.
