M., Adt Was Called to His Home To-
 day to v7ispatch Muskrat.
 For some time past. Eugene Adt of the Waterbury Printing company, has been endeavoring to find out what was chewing up the flowers i'll his garden and cutting up all kinds of capers on the veranda during the night time. It looked like the work of rabbits, but as none of the pets could be seen around the neighborhood MT Adt was puzzled to know what to make of the situa- ton. To-day Mrs Adt telephoned her husband to hurry home telling him that some strange appearing animal was devouring the pansies and having a general field day exercise about the premises. MT Adt never made such time between the office and his home as he did after receiving this message and when lie reached there he, found the intruder to be I large muskrat, lean and hungry looking, gorging it. self upon the choicest morsels it could find among the flower beds. As soon as the muskrat saw MT Adt it disap- peared under the yeranda steps and then commenced to peep at him from behind the boards. Mr Adt stepped in- to the house and brought out his rife, took aim at the muskrat and hit it in the head killing it outright. He car ried it to the office this afternoon where it was seen by large number of people including a reporter of the Democrat. 1t is seldom that an animal of it's kind falls as easy a victim as tilis one did, but the flowers furnished 1t with such excellent food, it is probable that it for got all about the risk it was running and finally became so bold that it thought no one had the courage to in terfere with it.

The Appointment of New Judge One of the Leading Topics A Number of Good Democrats in Waterbury That Would Fill the Position Honorably- Governor McLean's Action Anxious ly Awaited.


 ly Awaited.
 New Haven county is to have an- other superior court judge and one would think by the way our neigh bors are talking about the berth that the law compelled the governor to nominate q republican or that there are no democrats in the legal profes- sion in New Haven county. It seems to be generally believed that the new judge should be q Waterbury man and it is amusing to note the excitement it has created among our republican friends, all of whom feel that there is no question but that the plum will fall into the lap of some dyed in the wool member of the g. 0. P. We hear q great deal about City Attorney Kel- logg and in the same breath the ques- tion is asked: Who'll be elected city attorney in case MT Kellogg gets the appointmentY' Others, are interested in N. k. Bronson and contend that in- asmuch as he is out of office at present the appointment should go to him. MT Kellogg and MT Bronson are very creditable members of the Waterbury bar and if the governor should decide to nominate one of them for the new judgeship we think he would make no mistake, but supposing the judge should be chosen from among the law yers of this town why try to stand be- tween the appointiye power and mem bers of the legal profession who do not sneeze when the nabobs of the repub- lican party take snuff? Is it necessary for the proper administration of justice in all our courts that the judges must belong to the republican party? It is evident that some people think so but who knows what view Governor Me Lean may take of the question. He may decide to keep the republicans at bay and give the appointment to dem- ocrat. 1t has been stated that his ex- cellency is considering offering the ap- pointment to Henry c. White of New Haven and then again 1t is hinted that he is looking over the field in Water bury and has before him the names of John O'Neill, c. c. Root and J. II. Rus- sell It is said that man with John ONe1lIs practice could not afford to accept such q position. A judge of the superior court receives a salary of S4,OOO year and it is claimed that attorney of John O'Neill's calibre often earn that in few weeks. But that's another matter. What the public want IS to see judges appointed without ref erence to their politics. There are too much'politics i'll these matters and as a result mutterings of dissatisfaction are being heard on all sides.

MT Ives said he would go to Hartford to con fer with Mir Parsons and to decide what steps are best to be taken. If they decide to interpose in the matter MT Smith of sharon, the third member of the board, will be notified

the fact that the ruling of lines in old

the case is proved by the frequent un

FROM DEATHS DOOR.

Hillsdale, H., April 29th.-Mucl in
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in a dying condition for several
months with an apparently incurable
Kidney Disease.
The leading physicians Of this place
had pronounced his case hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron,
Geneseo, and Davenport, Ia. had at
tended him, and in consultation de-
cided that he could not live.
i. In desperation, his nephew inquired
of Mr.. L. F. Giles, a local druggist, as
to last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within few weeks was able to
be up and about, completely cured.
His cure is the talk of the neigh
hood, and is considered nothing short
of miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
will cure any case of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms, such
as Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and
Dropsy, yield readily to its remark
able influence. These forms OF
Chronic Kidney Disease have hitherto
been considered incurable, and have
baff1ed all medical skill, and yet, this
new remedy has cured every single
case in which it has been used, in
this neighborhood. The doctors
themselves are amazed at the WON
derful work Dodd's Kidney Pills are
accomplishing in Rock Island County.

many years, relates LiPpincott's Maya

that a young farmer and his sweet.
heart came to me to have some tin
types taken together. I posed them
on a fight of stairs with a balustrade
between them. When came from my
dark room after developing the plate,
the young fellow stepped up to me and
said: Say, couldn't We take that over
againT
"'Why, what's the matter?' asked
in surprise.
"'We amt goin' to like that picture
bit,' he answered, evasively.
"'But, why not?' persisted.
"sWal,' he blurted out, blushing to
the roots of his hair, she's too DANCED
fur off, He refused to pay so cents
for new sitting, so at last they bore
away the tintypes as they were. But
the next day he came back to my gal
lery very wrathful. 'Sa-a-y,' he fairly
shouted when he saw me, take that
burned girl off this picture. I'm mad
with her. ft
"Often when have my head under

couples, confident that cannot posi-

moment to kiss each other fervidly

THE GIRL WHO SMILES.

Ihe wind was east, and the chimney
smoked.
And the old brown house seemed dreary.
Csor nobody smiled, and nobody joked.
The young folks grumbled, the old folks
croaked,
They had come home chilled and weary.
Then opened the door, and a girl came in /;
Oh, she was homely-very;
x5er nose was pug, and her cheek was
thin,
There wasn't a dimple from brow to
chin,
But her smile was bright and CHEEKY.
She spoke not a word of the cold and
damp,
. Nor yet of the gloom about her.

and she put on the place a different
stamp
From that II, had had without her.
Her dress, which was something in sober
brown,
And with dampness nearly dripping.
She changed for a bright, warm, crimson
gown.
And she looked so gay when she came
down
They forgot that the air was nipping.
They forgot that the house was a dull
old place,
And smoky from base to rafter.
And gloom departed from every face.
AS they felt the charm of her mirthful
grace,
And the cheer of her happy laughter.
And make all glad together!
To be plain or fair is lesser thing.
But kind, unselhsh heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest weather.

Not ten minutes later Folsom and

the little tent. Ashamed of his appar-
emily unjust accusation, Folsom had
begged the quartermaster's pardon
and insisted on his coming with him
and seeing the young people before
driving back to town. The horses
were being groomed at the picket line.
The western sun was low. Long shad-

and the air was full of life and .exhila-

that then he dare not entertain. 80
