A Prayer Appropriate to the Day.

Let me do my work each day; and if the dark
ened hours of despair overcome me, may l not
forget the strength that comforted me in the des-
olation of other times. May I still remember the
bright hours that found me walking over the
silent hills of my childhood, dreaming on the
margin of the quiet river, when a light glowed
within me, and promised my early God to have
courage amid the tempests of the changing years.
Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp
passions of unguarded moments May not for
get that poverty and riches are of the spirit
Though the world know me not, may my thoughts
and actions be such as shall keep me friendly
with myself. Lift my eyes from the earth, and
let me not forget the of the stars: Forbid
that I should judge others lest [ condemn my
self Let me not follow the clamor Of the world.
but walk calmly in the path. Give me few
friends who will love for what [ am; and
keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the
kindly light of hope And though age and infirm.
ity overtake me, and come not within sight OF
the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be
thankful for life, and for times olden memories
that are good and sweet: and may the evenings
twilight find me gentle still.-Maz Ehrmann.

An Essential Element of Oratory.

The Hon. c. W. Mitchell is said to have been
one Of the ablest and most eloquent speakers in
the Legislature of 1905. Mr.. Mitchell is good
speaker-he has no flourish of trumpets to
nounce his arising, but gets up quietly, speaks
forcibly, logically, to the point, reaches it and
sits down. The sitting-down is very important,
and many speakers ruin the force of their re-
marks by forgetting this allessential part of the
speech after reaching the conclusion of what was
to be said-Hertford Herald

AHOME DESTROYED BY FIRE.

On Saturday at about 4.3O o'clock in the afternoon smoke was discovered issuing from the ridge boards on the house of Charles Chapin on the Walker brook road. The family were away with the exception of Henry, the 12- year-old son, and the hired man. Cliff ford Woodruff, Joel Pierson, Robert Seabury and MT Duncan saw the inn pending disaster and, rushing to the house, did all that they could and managed to save few articles Of furniture on the first floor. The work of fire is rapid and in a short time from the discovery of the smoke, the large house with it's contents was a mass of smoldering ruins. A small in- surance in the Washington Home h. surance Co. will not nearly cover the loss. The family have only the clothes they had on and kind friends have since assisted them in getting clothes. The family is stopping temporarily at Robert Seabury's $ until structure can be completed in which they can reside until that time when they can build a new house. MT and Mrs Chapin have three children: girl 14 years of age, who graduates from the New Milford High school in June; boy of l2 and a boy of five.

GRIPS UGLY
 SEQUEL.
KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS, RHEUMA TlSM NEAR HEART.

MRS VAN sCOY EXPERIENCES DANGER | GUS AFTEk-EFFECTs FROM GRIP AND LEARNS VALUE OF BLOOD REMEDY. The danger from grip is seldom over
 when the characteristic symptoms, the fever, the catarrh, the headache and the depression of spirits pass away. The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired di- gestion and over-sensitive nerveS-a condition that makes the system an | easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, 1 rheumatism, nervous prOStration, and | even consumption. Too much stress l cannot be laid on the importance of strengthening the blood and nerves during cOnvaleSceEce.
 The story told by scores of victims | of the grip is substantially the same. One was tortured by terrible pains at
 the base of the skull that made life
 unendura ble; another was left tired,
 faint and in every way Wretched from anamia or scantiness of blood; another
 had horrible headaches, iWas nervous and couldn't sleep; another was left
 with weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and acute neuralgia. In every case re- lief was sought in vain until the great blood-builder and nerve tonic, pr Will
 liams' Pink Pills, was used. This remedy is peculiarly adapted to build
 up stable health after Siege of grip For quickneSS of action nothing is
 known that will approach it, but it is also without equal for thOrunghneSS. Mrs Van ScOy makes a statement
 that supports this claim. She says: "1 had a severe ttack of grip, and before l had fully recovered rheuma- tiSm set in and tormented me for three
 months. l was in badly rundown state. Soon after it began I was so
 lame for week that l could hardly
 walk. It kept growing steadily worse and pretty soon l actually couldn't
 walk. At last I had to give up com pletely and for three weeks I was obliged to keep my bed. My knees
 were so stiff l couldn't bend them. and ny hands were perfectly helpless. heart and thoroughly alarmed me.
 "While was suffering in this way l chanced to run across little book that told about the merits of pr Williams Pink Pills. The statements in it inn pressed me andled me to buy a box. It was fortunate for me that 1 did, for these pills proved the very thing I needed to cure me. Improvement set in as soon as began to take them, and it was very marked by the time I had finished the first box. Four boxes made me we'll woman. In fact the pills proved so thoroughly adapted to my case that there is nothing further to report except that am very grate- full woman and that I sincerely recom- mend Dr Williams Pink Pills to any people who are sick as waS."
 Mrs Laura M. Van Scoy lives at No 20 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn. Dr
 Williams Pink Pills are equally we'll adapted for any other of the diseases that follow in the train of grip. Their great reputation is founded on the fact that they make pure rich blood which is the basis of sound health. They are sold by all druggists.

A SAD YET PLEASANT AFFAIR.


 In the Rising Sun lodge rooms on Monday evening farewell reception was given to MT and Mrs R. J. Watts and their family by the Masons and their friends. At least 125 persons were present. Hon H. 0. Averill past master of the lodge, was introduced as the first speaker by the present Wor- shipful Master, William FoulGis. Gen Averill made very interesting speech in which he expressed the sentiments of all present in regard to the good will and esteem in which MT Watts and his family are held. He also be- lieved in telling the truth about per son while they are living and not Wait- ing until after they are dead, and so he reviewed the integrity, uprightness and excellent qualities of the past mas ter of the lodge, the brother, depart ing for another part of the country to begin life in new fields of action. Gen Averill then called upon others for re- marks and Past Master Buckingham m of HotchkiSsville followed with a bright little story. Rev R. B. Carter entertained the company with some interesting remarks and stated that though Mir Watts and family were go- ing 5000 miles away, they were not go- ing to give up the name of Washing ton. Though "What's in name?" yet Washington state would be their 1,or of l,o nf h ton. He assured them that. they car ried with them the good will and the best wishes of the church and of the people for their best interests and vel fare in the new home whlther they were going Miles Aspinwall in brief speech made some witty allusion to a previous remark of the evening which occasioned much merriment. E. H. Beardsley of New Preston, another past master of the lodge, was introduced by Gen Averill as the silver tongued orator of the Rising Sun lodge and Mir Beardsley did justice to the introduction. Frank KilbOrn, a former past master, made some enter taining remarks and presented MT Watts with a beautiful gold medal, the past masters badge, in behalf of the Lodge. MT Watts responded in speech showing his appreciation of the occasion. At the conclusion of the speeches, refreshments of coffee, sand wiches and cake were served by con- mittee of ladies. Although pleasant evening had been passed it was with sincere regret. accompanied with sad ness that those present said good bye to MT Watts and his family. It is hoped that they will make a great for tune out in Washington in short time and return to this Washington to spend it.
