After many weeks of waiting the issue

plentifully on most rocky places in this

Honey a. a Home Rem-dv

Honey is a valuable medicine, and has
many uses. 1t is excellent in most lung
and throat affections. and is often used
with great benefit in place Of cod liver
oil. Occasionally there is person with
whom 1t does not agree, but most people
can learn to use II with beneficial re-
suit Children who have natural appe-
dtes generally prefer II to butter.
Honey is laxative and sedative, and

six OF these bouweries. The first included the
ground on the west side OF Broadway between
Wall and Chambers SITS: the second fourth and
sixth included the ground the east side of
the thoroughfare up City Hall Park,
the third and fifth comprised the territory north

LIFE ON THE OLD CONNECTICUT FARM.

General George W. Davis, who was appointed
by President Roosevelt the other day TO fill the
exacting position OF Governor OF the zone on the
Isthmus of Panama through which the inter
oceanic canal VIII be constructed. spent his
youth on a Connecticut farm. Away up In the
extreme northeastern corner OF the State, in the
town Of Thompson. close TO the Massachusetts,
State line, he first heard the birds CT summer
sing. He comes OF a family Of frugal, Christian
and studious characteristics. The old story and
a half frame house where he was born still
stands. His brother, Marcus Davis, the Oldest
OF the eight children. still lives there and farms
the place. His father before him was born
there and also the grandfather Of the general
lived IN the same house The Great-grand-
father lived in Thompson also. but q mile and a
half to the northwest of the present Davis home

necticut Yankee stock
The boehood OF General Davis was much the
same as the boyhood Of any Connecticut boy
born on a farm which revealed in rocks and hard
land TO till.

family. He never had time to get in trouble like

He came UP behind the hired man quiet like
and tapped him the shoulder. The hired man
turned him, for George was only bit OF a
boy then. but strong a young steer. The
hired man dropped the stick he had been beatin'
the horses with and went for George. They
tussled in the marsh for a moment or So and
then George got the hired man by the collar
and he just shook him till his head flew back
and forth on his shoulders like a thistle top.
When he got through with the hired man he let
him drop the ground. Then George petted
the horses and coaxed them to draw the load
out OF the mud by Offering them apples. And
a word did George say during all this fuss.
When the hay unloaded he stepped up TO
the hired man and said
Don't strike the horses again. And the
hired man never did.
Brother George hasn't been up here 70 the
old place in eleven years. But the last time he
was hSre he walked about over the fields and
seemed to take a great deal OF interest in those
old rocks with the drill holes in them. sie was
always Il collector Of curious things, and when
boy the room where slept was filled with
queer things he found in the woods and fields.

as an engineer on the Washington Monument. l
