TURKEYS ARE NOT STUPID.
One Brood in Virginia That Knew Very We'll When the Roost Was
 in Danger.

People generally think turkeys have the least sense of all the de- mestic fowls,'' said Frank Wilkinson, Virginia farmer, the other day, re- lates the Washington Star, ''but I've got some that seem to have more gray matter than a great many human be- ings know.
 "One night short time ago my wife and I and some visitors were out driv- ing in the evening. As I was putting up the horses after returning home I noticed my turkeys were not roasting as usual in the big buttonwood tree by the barn. Instead they were perched on the fence posts and in the limbs of other trees.
 ''It struck me as mighty funny, as turkeys on the place had roasted in that tree ever since I could remember. l mentioned it to my wife when went in the house, and she said she had no- ticed it when we drove in and thought it peculiar.
 That night about midnight a hard wind and rainstorm came up and the old buttonwood blew down. Now, how did those turkeys know that tree was doomed? At sundown there was no sign of storm, and the buttonwood was fully 50 years old and apparently as stanch as ever. tell you, I've had great respect for the judgment of turkeys since then''

APPETITE AND AGE.
WelI-Knovn Physician Who Depre- cates Presem mt-Day Practice of
 Oyer-Feeding the Aged.

Sir Henry Thompson deprecates in creased eating as means of keeping up the strength of those who are ad- vancing in years, and particularly ob- jeets to the repeated and general use of concentrated forms of animal nour- ishment for the aged Overnourish- ment in old age is apt to lead to pains and aches due to the impairment of ex- cretion and long protracted course of overfeeding will end in an attack of gout. Even artificial teeth are not to be considered an unmixed blessing for by a provision of nature the teeth begin to decay and beco1ne useless just when the system begins to thrive without much animal food of coarse fiber. Indigestion. says Sir Henry Thompson, is mostly not disease, but an admonition. "It is the Ian guage of the stomach, and is mostly an unknown tongue to those who are ad- dressed" It means that the indi- vidual has not yet found his appropri- ate diet. There is no food whatever which is wholesome in itself; that food only is wholesome which is so to the individual"

"HAPPY HooLIGAN.,.

Life and jollity will be the order for the remainder of the week at Polls when Happy Hooligan" holds forth in his amusing glory. Happy Hooligan," ]" originally the creation of the newpa- per caricaturist, Opper, has become one of the best known of American stage creations under the direction of Gus Hill, and it would tax the memory to recall one that has made more genuine fun in the past two seasons. MT Hill has had the genial tramp set as the centerpiece of a bright and dashing musical comedy and surrounded him with a number of clever entertainers who assist him in making the most excruciating fun. These funmakers, as well as Happy Hooligan'' himself, introduce numerous specialties at op- perfume moments, keeping the audi ence in constant uproar of merri- ment. Among them may be men toned Ross Snow, Halliday and Quinn, the Pan American Four, Ed Begley, Miss Carrie Ezier, Miss Maggie Weston, Whelan and Otto, and others who have made great reputation in their respective roles. Such names assure an entertainment of never-end- ing laughter. Prices are 25, 35 and 90 cents.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Some people have claimed that the black art as illustrated by Kellar ana Hermann can have no place in yaude- vile because of the time that IS re- quired for the working out of the more elaborate illusions These peo- ole. however, are invited to see the Mysterious De Bierre in his act at the Jacques and discover their mistake. This De Bierre introduces an astonlsh- ing number of small tricks and several large illusions, but so rapidly does he work and with such rare degree of precision that he succeeds really in croWtling two hours of ordinary ne cromancy into half hour. His tricks are in many cases original and novel, notably so being his marvellous feat of paper tearing and then repro ducing the original slip of paper with out a tear There are several illu- sions, too, of the Kellar type which are executed with rare skill, the whole ex- hibition being one of singularly attrac- tive character. There are several other acts on the bill that are equally attractive, notable among them being the xyiophone playing of the Musical Johnstons and the feats of equilibrium by Orv1l1e and Frank. Prices are 10, 20 and 80 cents; matinees, 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

THE HORSE SHOW.

Evarvthing in Readiness for Satur-
 days Big Society Event
 But a few days remain before the horse has an inning at the field where Manager George B. Harrington,s war riors have so often gone down Ill oe- feat. On Saturday afternoon at the Athletic field mans most useful friend will be king.
 Already Manager Howard H. Riggle- man of this city has received over TOT ty entries in all classes. Before FIT lday night this number may be doubled. There is no doubt as to the intense ln- terest that Waterbury people are tax ing in the horse show. First of all, Waterbury has never had an exhibition of this kind and it's extreme novelty makes it doubly interesting. Appar- ently, everyone is going to the horse show and if you want a good seat now is the time to purchase. Reserved seats may be found at F. F. Becton & Co.'S jewelry store.
 Entries were received yesterday from J. Richard Smith, who has registered his dashing pair, Major and Dora, in class J. George l.. White will exhib- it his high grade pair, Billy and George, with victoria. MT White has an entry in class N for the best saddle horse ridden by a lady and will also exhibit in class U for the best pair of .cobs shown in harness. Miss Flor ence U. Dillon will show her black coated cob, Peter Sterling, who is well known to most Waterbury people William H. White, son of George L. White, and Robert R. Tracy, son of George Tracy, will also exhibit. Mrs I. D. Atwood of Woodbury and Mrs George V. Neal and Marshall J. Grill ley of Thomaston registered entries yesterday. Among the box subscrib- CTS yesterday were George l.. White, Mrs George A. Driggs and Contractor George Tracy. Manager Riggleman is holding several boxes for prospective purchasers.
 Last night it was almost impossible to walk in front of the big show win dow, of the Woodruff Grocery Go on account of the crowd which had gath cred to view the horse show premiums on exhibition there. Many more tro- phies will be added to the exhibition to-day.
 Through the courtesy of General Manager J. B. Sewell of the Connecti- cut Railway and Lighting Co. Manager Riggleman has secured an electric car which he will send over the local troll ley system tonight to advertise the show

EUGENE
 FIELDS
Views on Ambition and
 Dyspepsia.

Dyspepsia, wrote Eugene Field, ooften incapacitateS man for endea- vor and sometimes it extinguishes the fire of ambition' Field was dyspep- tic himself. Though a great man despite this handicap he felt the blighting effects of the disease all his life. Thousands suffer similarly. A weak, tired or diseased stomach can't perform the process of digestion. It needs rest. If forced to work it will grow constantly weaker. If it gets rest it will soon grow strong again. Such preparation as Kodol Dyspep- sia Cure will give itjust such rest. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure does the stom- ach's work. It digests what you eat. Don't diet. Dieting is neither more nor less than partial starvation. Star vation never benefited anyone. If you take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure you need suffer the bangs neither of indi- gestion nor of starvation. Equally good for children.
 SI consider Kodol Dyspepsia Cure the su- perlor or any preparation for the prevention and cure of dyspepsia. !" writes Mrs. Geo. E. Ogburn, Ante, Brunswick Co.,, Va. "A bout three years ago suffered spells of the most excrutiating misery. tried many remedies but gained only temporary relief until used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. have not had an att tack since and whenever feel symptoms of a spell, a bottle of.

They are having all kinds OF
trouble IN Rocky Ford over the
rule established by the board OF
health OF that city preventing a
child's attendance at school until
the boards vaccination order had
been complied with. Judge Wal
lis, OF the county court, denied an
application for an injunction re
straining the Rocky Ford board of
health from enforcing the order,
on the ground that the county
court had not the power to dis
solve the injunction, and that such
an order would work a hardship
upon the defendants in the case
His suggestion that the case be
taken to the district court at Pueb-

THERE will be no city election in
Rocky Ford this year, that is. pro-
v,ding the city council acts upon
the opinion given by City Attorney
Bcall. He says that 1t has been
the cardinal rule OF the supreme
court of this state to discover the
intent of legislation and then en-
force it. In this instance the in
tent OF the statute is plan, the
only irregularity being the fact
that the law was not approved nor
in force until some time after the
election in 1901 had been held,
from which the new conditions
dated. Elections in cities of the
second-class will hereafter be held
every two years, instead OF annu-
ally as heretofore.

there is not trace or clue as TO
