There is beautiful little story told
about the opal, that delicate stone
which you have no doubt seen in rings
and bracelets, The story is that the
opal was long ago promised to any
body who could discover it. 1t lay hid
den away, SO the old fortune tellers
used to say, at the place where the
sunlight and the moonlight joined
each other, and whoever could find
that spot would be rewarded by a
quantity Of large. beautiful opals. Aft
er long search for the place "where
the sunlight and moonlight joined
each other the place was found by a
Spanish traveller, who followed up the
rays of the setting sun, and when he
had reached the end of the last ray he
waited until the moonbeams shone up
on the earth, and the"c he found the
opals. They are said to be very lucky
stones for those who are born in the
fall of the year and very unlucky for
those born in the spring. OF course it
is only saying that these are lucky
or unlucky, but the rest of the story is
true, as you will believe if you look in
the heart of an opal and see the pink
tints of the sun and the blue rays Of
the moon Nesting in the middle of it.

neries of the middle west caused Mr..
ness in 1876, and convert his estab-
lishment into -four and grain mill.
For 90 years up to the time of his
death he had conducted a large and
prosperous grain, hay and feed bust
ness. In politics the deceased was a
republican, and has been honored by
his party in many ways. He was
prominent in town affairs, his con-
servatiye business ability and good
Judgment making him a valued offic-
ial. He has served in every import
ant department of the town, includ-
ing the school board, board of relief,
assessor and selectman. For the bor-
ough he has acted as warden and
served on the court of burgesses. For
four years, from 1881 to 1885, he
served as state senator from the old
twentieth district, now the 24th.
During his senatorship he acted as
chairman of the claims and fisheries
committees. When the Stafford
Springs Agricultural society was
formed from the wreck of the old
local society in 1888, Mr.. Dennis was
elected president and had held that
office ever since, his reelection to
the position taking place but few
days before his death. For several
years he was a director in the old
Stafford National bank, resigning in
1879. After the collapse of the bank
in 1887 Mr.. Dennis took much inter
est in the formation of the new bank,
the First National. He first served
as director, later was vice. president
and in 1901 became it's president,
which, office he held at the time OF
his death. The deceased was active
in the promotion of the Stafford
Springs street railway plans, and q
director in the corporation. Mr.. Den.
mis- was united in marriage April 6,
