SOME HOLIDAY REFLECTIONS.

Among the numerous and attractive
 storeson. ChaIel street there is certain
 ly one that is worthy of more than a passing thought, Its history and de-
 velopment are contemporary with the
 beginning and continuance of the his
 tory of our beloved land. We refer to
 the well known and popular hardware
 establishment of The John E. Bassett
 & Co.,, situated as everybody knows
 near the corner of Chapel and State
 streets. Considerably over a century ago, and very long before any human being who now walks this earth was called into existence, the founder of the company started in the hardware business right on the spot where the present firm is located. The original building was a comparatively small wooden structure and the originator of the business there was Titus Street. This Was away back in 17S4, oyer one hundredand twenty three years ago. Tt was torn down in 1880 and the present store of The John E. Bassett & Co. was built, Keeping pace with the in- creasing growth of the city and the steadily increasing trade and popular ity of the establishment it was found necessary from time to time to en- large the store until now it has be- come one of the largest retail hard ware stores in Connecticut with repu- tation for carrying everything from a tack to a teakettle" Well, times have changed from those primitive days in the long ago, when the tastes and Lursuits of our ancestors were so dtssimilar to those that now obtain. Life then was, to be sure, quite stren- uous on account of the lack of imple- ments and conveniences which now enrich and bless us and make life real ly worth living But the fathers were strong, sturdy race, lnured to toll and with tremendous courage and for titude. They lived serenely and hap oily, and what would discourage and daunt the people of to-day was to them but incidental to their sur roundings. They were not only rug ged in their physical makeup but also strong and clear in their mental and moral natures. They were clear head ed and true hearted and they laid a solid foundation in principles which made 1t possible for those who follow ed them to build on that foundation and develop and beautify the grand est and best government in the world
 But the thoughts and reflections which "Ye Olde Hardware Store,
 which was founded in 17S4, have creat- ed would if unchecked, lead to much longer written article than is now in- tended and all that can be said at this time will be that the establish n.ent today has the appearance of be- ing crowned with immortal youth
 Every department is resplendant with the finest and most up-to-date goods
 The show windows attract the throngs that at this holiday season traverse the streets. Hundreds of handsome and decidedly appropriate Christmas articles which recipients would duly appreciate are to be seen and bought at the store. Space forbids enumerat- ing them, but in to-day's Courier ir the advertisement of the company many of the special attractions are in dicated,

The mucous coating of the stomach and intestines has lost its power Of secreting the gastric juice Gan impor- tant factor in digestion) the muscles of the middle coating are correspond ingly lifeless in grinding up the food, and as a result. the food lies in your stomach fermenting, poisoning the blood, irritating the nerves and break ing down the system.
 Something must be done to arouse the digestive organs to action, Stuart's Dvspepsia Tablets alone have been found capable of digesting the food for the unhealthy stomach They contain diastase, pepsin and other digestive agents which the stomach itself pos sesses when in health. These agents digest the food in the stomach and give the stomach a chance to rest and regain it's normal powers.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a patent medicine. the formula for their preparation having been made public and known to 10000 physicians in +he 1 United states and Great Britain Rv government tests, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been shown not only to contain no harmful ingredients. but to possess digestiyes of higher purity than found in any other preparation.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are ,rec- commended by physicians everywhere and can be bought of any druggist or direct from the manufacturers at 50 cents per box,
 If preferred, free trial package will be sent you immediately upon receint of name and address. F. A. Stuart ca za stuart Rldg.. Marshall. Mich.

 Mayor StudIey E. Witness in $5,OOO
 Suit Against City-Bay Window Dis-
 pute to Go to Supreme Court.
 To determine whether or not the resi- dence of the late Silas E. Burrows was in this city, and as to whether or not two codicils to his will, which were ex- ecuted while he was travelling in France, would hold good here under the l treaty provisions, a hearing was held before Judge Cleaveland in the probate court yesterday, at which expert testi- friends of the deceased were examined < to settle the question. MT. Burrows { left an estate valued at severa lhun- dred thousand dollars, the principal leg atee being his wife, now of New Ha- ven.
 The will was executed in 1904, and < MT. Burrows described himself as a res ident of New Haven. He had been an extensive traveller, and had not dwelt ! in New Haven for any length of time since 1880. He was for years a noted { wholesale merchant at Shanghai, China. @ He, however, still claimed New Haven as his residence, and his household goods were kept here.
 5 There is no dispute over the provisions i of the will, the only question being as { to the validity of thetwo codicils. They were both drawn abroad. Attorney I Jule Joubin, a New York lawyer, who { is proficient in French law, testified in 4 court yesterday as to the provisions of { tno French law,
 Judge Cleayeland reserved his deci-
 sion in the case.

 pany and Henry L. Hotchkiss as execu-
 tors, and Mr. Hotchkiss has declined to

Why Take
 Business Home?
Are Your Nerves Constantly Strained
 With CroundIess Worries?

The cause of this tense condition is in your stomach. Your food does not digest properly. Nine-tenths of all dyspepsia and indigestion is of the nervous type and the only certain cure is to right the cause, Tonics, brain foods, bitters, etc. are mere tempo rory stimulants. Your stomach and small intestines have become deranged by improper selection of foods, imper- feet mastication and irregularity both as to time and amount of eating.

1.-THE CLANsMAN."

The much heralded drama, "The Clansman, played to a large house at the New Haven theater last night All the fuss and protests that have been lodged against the presentation of the drama by the colored population seems to be both unjust and uncalled for In fact it seems to have been a pure case of much ado about nothing or "a tempest in teapot" What great fault the colored race has against it Is rather shroude1 in mystery, for a white man who acts the part of Governor Shrimp is made the most despicable of all the characters. A great many went to see the show in the hope of seeing trouble, but in this case they were doomed to disappointment, for everything went as merry as the proYerbial marriage bell. The acting went smoothly, and the act ing of the various men and women in the cast was good and met with the hearty approval of all present. The scenic part of the play was also strong and elicited much applause. In short "The Clansman" is all right, and there is nothing in it that calls for the send ing of the mayors of cities to see it played in New York before giving 1t a license, or the reading of the story beforethe chief of police.
 James J. Ryan, as Silas Lynch the black lieutenant governor, gave an ex- cellent portrayal of the character Miss Aileen Goodwin as Elsie Stoneman, John 5. Hymer as Aleck, the county sheriff, Miss Ruth Hart as Nellie Gra- ham, a daughter of the South, Maurice Freeman as Ben Cameron, the clans man, and Murray Woods as William Pitt Shrimp, the governor of South Carolina, were the other principals and handled their parts we'll

DON'T SCOLD.
THIS INFORMATION WILL PROVE A
BOON TO BELFAST MOTHERS.

If a Juvenile member of your family lacks con-
trol over the kidney secretions at night, do not
scold or whip the child. The coating or lining of
the bladder is nf1amed and the secretions are so
full of acid that they irritate that organ, and bed
wetting is the result The hundreds of testi.
monials from every State in the Union, all de-
claring children have been cured of this weak
ness by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, prove at
least in their case the remedy did what was
promised, namely, stopped the so-called habit.
Here is proof for Belfast mothers:
Mrs. Austin Danforth of 10 Bay View streets
Belfast, Me-, says: 81 cannot find words to ex
press my feeling of gratitude for what Doan's
Kidney Pills have done for my grandson. He is
now eleven years old. For the past four years
he was troubled greatly with weakness OF the
kidneys. Night or day he was unable to exercise
proper control over the secretions and we always
had to keep him under watchful eye for fear he
wonld strain himself because if ne did the trouble
was aggravated. We gave him remedies OF vari-
GUS kinds and he had been treated by physicians
but all failed to help him. One day we read an
advertisement about Doan's Kidney Pills, and as
thew were recommended for children's weak
nesses box was procured at the City Drug
Store and he was given the remedy. Less than
box made a thorough and complete cure, and
am only too pleased to recommend them to
mothers who have children annoyed with weak
nesses of the kidneys Doan's Kidney Pills is
the remedy to use for this complaint"
