clrcuses on Succeeding Days.

Two clrcuses on succeeding days is
more than usually falls to the lot of a
village of Bellows Falls's size, but such
q thing did happen here this week. Mon
day afternoon and evening Pawnee Bits
Wild West show exhibited on Morgan
field, followed on Tuesday by w. L.
Mains three ring circus. Disagreeable
weather greeted the companies on both
days, greatly reducing the attendance.
AS might be supposed, much rivalry was
engendered between the companies, and
1t Is said several hundred Bellows Falls
people enjoyed the performances of both
companies without a great drain on their
pocket books. In Pawnee Bills per-
Torrance, the work of the company was
spread over % numbers on the program
making each hurried and less effective
while If only n less number of events had
been attempted and those made first-class
much better satisfaction would have been
given to the public. The grand military
tournament. introducing the cavalry tao
tics of the great nations of the world,
was one of the best features. There were
small houses, both afternoon and even
ing. The return engagement of Mains
show gave even better satisfaction than
ever before, many of the events being
greatly added to and several new feat
ures being introduced. The exhibition
of horses and Workmanship, the trick
bicycle riding and the clowns were far
above those ever seen here before.
Mains circus is we'll known as being en-
tirely free from the coarsness so prev
alent among other shows of this class.
and this performance was no exception
| to the rule. Fair houses greeted both
performances.

The Fiction Hunger.

Mr.. Howells had no sooner proved,
a few years ago, that a certain form
of realism was the finally evolved
type in fiction, than the great read
ing public promptly turned around
and bought Treasure Island. That
does not prove Treasure Island bet
ter story than Silas Lapham; it proves
simply that a trout who will rise to
a brown hackle today will look at
nothing but white miller tomorrow
and that when the men of the ice age
grew tired of realistic anecdotes some
body yawned and poked the fire and
called on a romanticist. One age, one
stage of culture one mood, calls for
stories as naive, as grim and primi-
tive in their stark savagery as an
icelandic saga; another age, another
mood,-nay, the within that changes
in each one of us between morning
and evening,-chooses stories as de-
liberately, consciously artificial as the
Fall of the House of Usher. Both
types are admirable each in it's own
way; provided both stir the magma
ton. For the types will come and
go, and come again; but the human
hunger for fiction of some sort is
never stated. Study the historical
as one may, there come moments
when one is tempted to say with viii
kie Collins that the whole art of flc
ton can be summed up in three pre-
cepts: make 'em laugh; make ZEN
cry; make 'em wait."-[The August

just under the House weather map
Yes" replied Uncle Joe, that's an
old expression and will never forget as
long as I live how Senator Caffery got
mixed up in using it in a big speech one
day I had gone over to listen to a de-
bate. with lot of other House members
and one incident gave us ample entertain
ment. Senator Caffery was warming up
to his subject and denouncing with all the
fire he possessed the bill under discussion,
He said it should be killed, and killed
hard
And Mr.. President" he continued, II
believe We should make no mistake in
this matter. We should kill the whole of
it. Let's cut off the ears right behind
the tail"
The Senate burst into roars of laughter,
and the Senator sat down in great con-
fusion 1t was not until Senator Cor
man told him in the cloak room after
cigars had been lighted that Mr.. Caffery
found out his mistake,-LBoston Journal.

FATE'S TABLET,

You must have know her had you
seen her face,
That moment turned away, as by she
passed.
1t must have told you. that confiding
grace.
OF one could not but love you to the

And had you heard her voice you must
have known.
She little talked and softly all that day;
Something. perhaps, was on the June

To her could not but love you aye and

You did not see her, and you did not

She saw not, heard not, you as by she

And it was once more written, year to

THEY SAW The SMOKE.

Warming.

Once Vesuvius destroyed two Italian
cities in a few hours. The people saw the
smoke from the volcano but failed to
escape in time.
Where there is smoke there is fire and
where there are symptoms of one of the
most dangerous of diseases. feeling of
languor, a sense of weakness and WEAKNESS,
drowsiness, giddiness and mental discom-
fort. A bad taste in the mouth-the old
coppery" taste. An offensive breath,
headache, neuralgia, heartburn, feeling
Of drllness and weight in the stomach,
nausea, dry and feverish skin, constipation,
rising of nasty gas into the throat, tongue
furred like the moss on tree, irrltabllty,
disgust with food.
Have you any of these symptoms?
Either now or sometimes? EYES," you say,
"but don't think they are dangerous"
They are signs of danger. They show that
the eruption is coming.
Now what lies at the bottom of all these
symptoms? Indigestion, dyspepsia, and an
| overworked liver. There is but one help,
one remedy. Slow up, and for the mis-
chief already done, tone up the digestive
organs and liver with the new medicine,

The estate left by the late r. G. Dun
of New York forms an exception to the
rule that the wealth of wealthy men is
greatly overestimated. He was supposed
to be worth about SO, SOC, 900. but his estate
appraises for IS, $50, 1885, On the other hand,
the estate of Joseph Richardson, who
built the narrow little spite house" on
Lexington avenue, New York, and who
was supposed to pc worth some $50 900
at the time of his death in 1897, has just
