CHILDREN DAY OBSERVED.

CHILDREN DAY OBSERVED.
 As usual, two weeks behind times. Children's $ day service was observed the last Sunday in June instead of the second. and this time nothing but cir cumstances caused the delay, but when they do appear they leave the older part of the society way behind, more than make up the lost time Mrs Marvin had the drilling in charge and by the way it passed off showed there had been nothing lacking on her part. Six children were baptized at the conclusion of the exercises.
 Several of the young people attended the district meeting of the Christian Endeavor society at North Kent, last week Wednesday afternoon and even ing, and spoke very much in praise of the excellent program and fine sup per.
 Many of our friends and neighbors are looking for ward to next Sunday, June ,, as banner day at St Bridget's $ church, as the Bishop and several of the clergy are to be there and partci- pate in the confirmation service which is to be held there.
 John P. TreadWell of Norwalk spent the day fishing among the hills of our town, the 26th. Charles Gibbs and his brother, Reuben, each had day at the same sport, although Bethel may have more charms for them in a bushes way, still they love to re- turn to old Cornwall and Sharon side for little sport with the rod, of which both are experts.
 pr Ryder and wife are entertai hin Z her two sisters from Torrington for q few days.

In the utmost beginning of things in that time when roosters were very large, and geese were very fierce, and only mother could avert the thousand perils, heal the thousand wounds-ex isted mythical partner established in family annals as ''Your Little Sweetheart.
 "Annie?" Don't you remember An- nie! Why, she was Your Little Sweet heart. You used to play together day in and day out. It was. so cute to see you.
 But, no. You may catch here bit of blue ribbon, there an echo of laugh, yet, try as you will, you may not recall her. Evidently when Your Little Sweetheart Annie was put away along with dresses and curls, she was put away so far that she was lost forever. What space of months, or of years, elapses you cannot tell. Nevertheless, suddenly you do witness yourself, still of age most immature (you recollect that somewhere in this period you were miserably spelled down on "fish'O, laying votive offerings upon the desk of your First Love, a girl with brown eyes and rounded, rosy cheeks.
 These offerings are in the shape ot bright pearl buttons and carnelian pebbles. The transfer requires much breathless daring. Down the aisle of the schoolroom you march, your gift tightly clutched in your hand, which swings carelessly by your side. Past her seat you scuttle, and without a single glance, you leave the treaure upon the oaken top, beneath her eyes Away you hurry, affrighted, ashamed apprehensive, but hopeful. Presently blushing, from your seat you steal 6 look across at her. She smiles roguishly The offering is gone. It is accepted for she holds it up that. you may See. And you grin back, as red as beet while your heart, exultant, zoe: thumpity, thumpity. thumpity.

THE MI-O-NA TREATMENT.
Flesh Forming Food in Tablet Form

The discovery of Mi-o-na, the remark

good healthy, solid flesh and makes
thinness and serawnness a thing of the
past, has rev 1lutionized medical prac-
tics in certain lines.
It's power to do all that is claimed for
It was so clearly proven to Rowley &
Snow that they have sold Mi-o-na with
the understanding that if it falls the
purchase price was to be refunded.
Rowley & Snow certainly exhibited
courage in taking up this method OF
selling Mi-o-na. but the results nave
fully proven their judgment that the
AIi-o-na treatment sfor stomach trou-
bles, emaoiation, general weakness and
run down condition is the only effeacious
and reliable cure.
Mi-o-na possesses healing and sooth-
ing qualities that make it especially
valuable in cases of chronic Indigestion
and dyspepsia. Two or three tablets
taken each day in connection with the
regular food prove it a true flesh former.
All that many a woman lacks to be
positively pretty is a little more flesh on
her face. To look haggard or not fat is
never becoming. The use of Mi-o-na
will cure this defect
With every soc box of Mi-o-na thar

rebuilt on a generous plan, which will
provide the transportation of this coun-
try for MANY years to come. This has
been accomplished at an enormous ex-
penditure. unheard of in the history of
railroads. It has also been accom-
plished at the expense of dividends. and
oftertimes in the face of opposition on
the part of the stockholders. This
country does not realize the amount of
preparation which the railroads have
been making to take care of the traffic
Of the present and future. and every
body should feel thankful that it has
been done. This expenditure is. an elo-
quent answer TO the query regarding
my opinion of the business future of
this country. and my opinion is the
opinion of every railroad man who has
been instrumental in making these ex-
penditures. The s104. 900, 900 spent by
the roads in which I am interested
during the last three years for better
ment and equipment shows unbounded
faith in the future.
Il am of the firm belief that the bust
ness of the country will continue to in
crease, and it should be a matter of sat
isfaction that the railroads are doing all
they can to promote prosperity by max
ing the markets of the world available
to the industries of every section of the
country"
Mr. Hartman was in Chicago to at
tend the meeting of the directors and
stockholders of the Illinois Central rail-
road yesterday and to confer with Presi-
dent Marvin Hughitt of the Northwest
ern and local officials of Hartman lines
It is understood that he is planning re-
trenchment of expenses and greater CO.
operation among the lines that make up
the Hartman system. It is not expect
ed that there will be any reduction in
betterment work, but that large
amount of new construction, partially
planned, will not be undertaken until
prices of material and labor are lower
Mr.. Hartman is said to believe that so
much money has been expended that
the stockholders should now be given
first consideration.
