should know that In the name of that family the

Sorrow

means grief, unhappiness regret, sad ness; to feel pain of mind in conse- quence of some evil experience. There fore we must not allow sorrow into the household, but we feel confident that sorrowfulness does creep into some homes. For instance, the politicians on both sides are in fact happy as they lay the political wires. but when the day of the election comes some sore heads will be filled with sorrow. Then again, if the mayor of Waterbury should take ride in his auto up Bald win street and keep on the side the law says he should, we think the chances are 100000 to that there would be sorrowfulness at his home that evening (of course we mean he should travel at the same speed as he does on Broadway. But the most la uientabie, disconsolate and distressing feeling of all is to have the head of tie family bring home some tea and coffee that isn't fit to serve to brutal murderer, and, worst of all, to pay as much for it as we charge for the good, nice tasting kind. Remember we prom ise to sell you first quality tea, coffee and butter, no matter what price you pay us, and our promise can be relied on.

There Is always a dull season in the stores of those merchants who fail to keep in touch with the people. There is never a dull season in those stores that keep in touch with the people all the time. The right kind of adyertis- ing. persisted in all the time, keeps the merchant and his goods in touch with the people all the time and cuts out dull seasons.

FOR FOUNDING

GIFT OF PHILANTHROPIST

Men and Women.
CBy Associated Press.l

Northampton, Mass, Dec. 22.--After
a wait Of sixty years the agricultural
school provided for in the will Of oliver
Smith Is to become an accomplished
fact. Mr. Smith died Dec. %, 1s45. His
will provided that the fund for the
establishment OF the school was to
accumulate for sixty years. Hence 4,
became available today In anticipa-
tion Of this date the trustees of the
school last month purchased site in
Northampton in order to be ready for
establishing the school The purchase
consists Of ninety-three acres and the
tract includes about all the varieties
of soil desirable for agricultural pur.l
poses.
Oliver Smith belonged to the same
class of philanthropists as Peter
Cooper, Anthony Drexel and Charles
Pratt. His aim was to give practical
assistance to young men and women
striving to get a foothold in life. He is
perhaps entitled to be called the
pioneer philanthropist of America. for
! it was early in the sos that plans for
establishing a permanent source Of
benefit for young men and women took
form in his mind His benefactions
as they now stand are well toward
81 100000, which is not equal to single
gifts made today by Andrew Carnegie
BY comparison, however, qualified by
considerations Of time and place, the
business success and philanthropy Of
oliver Smith were those of more than
a millionaire at the present time and
,lunder better financial opportunity
| Oliver Smith was born at Hatfield,
this state, in January, 1866. He never
married. His father died year after
divers birth and left six sons to the
care of their mother, who is described
as an active and intelligent woman.
i Oliver received little education except
that given by his mother He took his
share of the paternal estate when he
arrived at the age Of 21. receiving land
valued at $500. In middle life he was
the proprietor of the village store in
Hatfield, in company with his brother
Benjamin, and in later years he ac-
complished the rapid Increase in his
wealth by stock transactions in New
! York. But throughout his active life
part of his attention was devoted 70

Oliver smith left almost 100000 for
charitable purposes. In sixty years
this amount has, Of course, vastly in
creased. The reports Of the trustees
show that more than the total Of the
original amount has been paid out to
indigent boys alone. and about halt as
much to INDECENT young women. In
addition about $4,000 has been ex-
pended in annuities to special bene-
aciaries, more than 100000 to INDECENT
widows. besides expenses and taxes
amounting to more than 100000.

DON'T DOSE THE STOMACH
HyOmei Cures Catarrh by Breathing Aromatic
Healing Air.

You cannot afford to risk permanent
loss of health by taking strong drugs
into the stomach in the vain hope OF
curing catarrh OF the nose and throat.
The only true way of curing catarrhal
troubles is by the use OF Hyomei. which
is breathed through a neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit.
It kills all catarrhal germs and re-
stores the mucous membrane OF the nose,
throat and lungs to perfectly healthy
condition.
The complete Hyomei tfit,consisting
of u neat pocket inhaler, a medicine
dropper and bottle OF Hyomei, costs but
81. and extra bottles can be obtained Tor
80 cents. 1t is not only the most
economical method of curing catarrh,
but it is the only treatment for this dis
ease which does not cost you cent I'M
less it cures
X. n. Goodrich has so much faith in the
merit of Hyomei that he agrees toreturn
the money to any purchaser who can
say that it has not benefited. il9a2
