Once upon a time a young woman,
who was an exception to her sex, went
fishing for compliments, and succeed
ed in hooking and landing a great many
of them.
She was told of her a~miability, in
~telligence, beauty and extreme mod
esty, all of which delighted her x
c~eedingly. When she was told how
earnestly the young men courted her
good opinion, and how very jealous all
the young ladies were of her attractive

 dog, only that It was the first time II hurt anybody. That is the story they all tell. He could not tell how many wears he has had the dog: sometimes he keeps more than one to keep the other company. But the dog in ques- tion has been the quietest dog in the world.

Real Estate and Rents
O'NEILL'S BULLETIN.

My office is certainly a bargain counter for real estate. At various times have offered different pieces of property for sale and some have been accepted and some have not been. However, that does not deter me from offering one tonight that will knock the spots off anything you have ever heard of before. It is this. You can come up into my office and will give you warranty deed for a two family house on Wood street, and you don't need to pay a cent down except $2 for making out the deed. You simply as- sume the mortgages. The house is in good repair and you won't have to spend penny on it for two or three years.
 Open every night except Monday.

There Is not much to be done on the road except to widen it some. build few gullies and strengthen the bridge that spans the Mad river near the site of the old shear shop.

DIED IN SISTERS HOSPITAL.
Joseph J. Lyons Had Friends About
 Him When Death Came.


 The remains of Joseph J. Lyons, who died last week in Los Angeles. Gal arrived here at noon time and was taken to J. Fl. Mulville's under taking parlors, no East Main street, from where the funeral will take place to the Immaculate Conception church at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. The interment will be in St Josepf's cemetery. The imputation that Mir Lyons was robbed and died penniless is a gross calunnny and naturally causes the young mans numerous friends considerable uneasiness. His family don't mind 1t because they know that there is no truth in it, the dead mans parents having in their possession letter from Dr Molony. the physician who attended him. assur- ing them that everything possible was done for the patient and that after de ductng expenses the balance of the money found in his purse, together with his watch, will be forwarded to. his father in Waterbury. The doctor also states that he was notified of the Illness of Mir Lyons by Brother Kelly, of the Knights of Columbus, and visited him at his boarding house and found him suffering from a pain in the side and had cough While h.s was as conforta ble as he could have been made at the boarding house, the doctor advised that he be removed to the Sisters of Charities hospital, where the Knights of Columbus have ward. Here the good sisters ministered to his wants and when 1t became known that the end was near Father Fahey, who is also member of the Knights. gave hfm the rites of the church. 1T have never seen patient so near fieath.' writes Dr Molony. land yet so hopeful of the future. He was cheerful and expressed thanks for the snallest favor done him." The doctor adds that it was unwise on the part of his physician in the east to advise him to make the trip to California, for h's condition was not able to bear such long overland route. He says that the young man should have been kept Tt home to die surrounded by the mem bers of his own family.
