Village SAUNDERS.

Sixteen sleepy ballot clerks
Nodding all day long,
Waking up at intervals,
Wondering what is wrong.
Last year they were rushed to death,
Checking mp each name,
But today it's different,
Issues aren't the same.
Nothing but the same old board,
No police 10 knife,
What's village meeting
when devoid Of strife.
Mayor Calvin in the chair,
Feels like thirty cents,
For with capital letter
All the names commence.
When the vote was counted,
And results declared,
II was then discovered,
Fits and Gale had paired.
But these sleepy ballot clerks
Next year will awake.
There'll be something doing,
That will take the cake.

my nanny managed to eat the tail

and at the next mornings milking in.
stead of getting the usual half pail of
delicious milk simply got half pail
of cocktails, and that's pretty hard on
one who is strictly temperate"

Body and Mind.
The Problem of Sound Mind in . Sane Body Suggests Itself in
 Dyspepsia.

The reactions of this dreadful di- sease on the mental condition is one of its worst features. Dyspepsia i'm poverishes the blood and as 1t circu lates through the body it gives little nourshment to the brain cells. The result is loss of memory. incoorlinl- ton in ideas. worriness over trifles. hypochOndria. perhaps melancholia. etc. Strengthen your stomach. body and mind with Dr Richards Dyspep- sia Tablets and they will all work in perfect harmony.
 Mrs Walsh of 122 Round Hill street. Waterbury. Conn. says: After suf- fering for a long time and being nn- able to keep any solid food on my stomach was induced to try Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets. can trHthfully say these tablets did Ire more good than all the medicine I have taken for years. I procur-i q bottle of these tablets six weeks ago at Apotheraries hall I have contin- uci taking the medicine until now. It has done me sO much gpod that I now enjoy my meals and am reiIevesl If all pains in the stomach and have gainei Tn weight I certainly believe the benefit is permanent

Mayor Thaycr,s speech.

Mayor Thayer's Speech.
 In his speech last night Charles F Thayef sailed into Allan w. Paige dictator to the republican party ot the state" MT Thayer said in part: The legislature is owned and con. trolled by Allan w. Paige, and cleo tons are bargained for and sold two years i'll advance. The issues of the present campaign may be crystalized In one sentence: Shall the people of Connecticut govern themselves or shall they be governed by single man pr by a handful of men?' The people of Connecticut have nothing to do with the legislature. The re- publican platform recommends that the issues be dealt with fairly, but Paige makes the platform and he tells the legislature what to do. So it is MT Paige, first, last and all the time. 8
 T have not asked you to vote for me, and spall not do so. am not here to plead my own cause, for l have no cause but yours"
 In referring to statement in the Norwich Bulletin to the effect that the mayor was responsible for the in- creased indebtedness of the city due to the taking over of the gas and cleo tric plants. Mayor Thayer said:
 Back of that movement were the laboring people, and by two success sive votes of the republican council the gas and electric light plants were taken over. If the republican coun- cil claims responsibility for the eight hour day, why is it not also responsi- ble for the increased debt of the city? The republican council and not the mayor of Norwich Is responsible for that increased indebtedness.
 In an interview yesterday after noon Mr Thayer said regarding Hearst and his candidacy:
 Now, the fact is I do not know Hearst, having met him but once about two years ago, and I do not of necessity or otherwise endorse his ideas or practices because I am not in his confidence. So far as he hon. estly opposes ring rule, boss rule and machine rule such as we have in Con-! necticut under Ullman, Paige and Lilley, and honestly desires a return to democracy, am with him, but not more so than he with me.
 And I am also with Hughes in so far as he is against boss rule and ma chine rule. I am not running New York politics nor interfering with them and I am not permitting New York politics to interfere with my campaign"

E.cort. For Newly Welded Pairs.


 Though 1t has been said the wedding tour is hopelessly out of date and that one has to read Howells to know that there ever was one. this isn't such a prosy old world after all, for an ob- server of tte ways of the elect says the latest idea Is for the best man to provide tickets for the entire bridal party to accompany the happy pair on the first stages of the wedding trip. The maid of honor has her share of the work. for 1t is up to" her to fill the car with flowers untn it looks like a travelling conservatory, says the New York Press. As one bride expressed it, "The best of 1t is. the flowers are sometimes fruit" When Miss Aspin- wall of Washington became the bride of Lieutenant Comfy of the artillery. a dozen or more warriors escorted her to the bridal train, where her maids were awaiting her with offerings. This sounds agreeable. but it takes best man with a well filled purse. "what do you expect? Again we see the pleasant things of life are all for the rich," said pessimistic young man.

AREA OF UNITED STATES.
Geological Survey Bulletin Giv1 Il
 as 8,O26,7s8 Square Miles.

Geological Survey Bulletin Giv0 n
 ss 8,026,7sS Square Miles.
 The United States geological survey at Washington recently issued bulletin BOP, by Henry Gannett, which repre- sents the result of conference and CO., operation of the land office, census bu- reau and geological survey in an effort to agree on what constitutes ''the area of the United States" The absence of a standard of measurement for de termining the area led to discrepancy between the tables of the census bu- reau made in 1887 and those of the general land office prepared In 1899.
 The result of the cooperation of the departments Is that the area of the United States proper, which is given as 3.026.7S9 square miles, has been increased over the census figures by 1,18S square miles. The bulletin gives the area of Alaska as 590, 1884, the Phil- ippines 1l5.O2G, Hawaii 8,449, Porto Rico 3.435, Guam 210. Samoa n and the Panama canal strip 474 square miles. All of the detached territory is subject to change as the limits become more correctly defined.
