The liquor people will get very little comfort from reading the report of the resolutions adopted by this great orgAni- zation at it's recent meeting in Hartford. The high ground taken against the traffic in past years was reaffirmed, and no one would doubt who heard the applause or the comments of the members that this very influential body is to be one of the great factors in the settlement of the liquor question.

his way, from high balls to second base man. The "Harrigans' were forced to use three pitchers during the game. The first two being unable to stand the combined effect of their own exertions and the enthusiastic roofing of the the first half of the ninth inning being 10 to ill Amenia's favor, with Sharon still to bat, the mighty Newman was put in the box and succeeded, as much by good luck as by science, in striking out three men so the final score was un- changed. For Sharon. Doe" Knight pitched the whole game and played like veteran. The "Harrigans" are noted as famous sluggers, Doe" is deserving of credit for holding them down as well as he did. Ills catcher for the game, Everett Pitcher, is the peer of any catcher in this vicinity and barring few errors excusable in men who play ball seldom, they received good support from the rest of the team. Considering what they were up against our Sharon boys eer- tainly made remarkable showing and it is too bad that more people were not there to witness their game fight against odds.
 NOTES ON THE GAME.
 A man in a red ball suit, labelled Armenia, and carrying a violin case, created some amusement by his strange actions.
 The noisiest bunch of rooters who have so far attended ball game here were present and helped to enliven things. G. Bump conducted by wield- ing his baton.

 Mcdonald and Jones collided in right field, and the resulting acrobatic perfor- nance of Mcdonald was certainly as- tonishing. With Jones to help, Thomas B. might enter vaudeville as the Human Tumblebug." -r-.-..
 George Kirby, in centre field, gathered in the flies like veteran and played the game as he used to when young. To those who have heard his own deser1p- tion of feats performed in those far off days. no more need be said.
 The topography of the ground is such that it needs long man at first base, long legged, long headed, and long winded. John is built according to the above specifications and proved to be the right man in the right place.

The Shade of the Patriarch.

Lies our wide and pretty street. You may travel o'er New England And you'll find 'tis hard to beat. The lawns are just like velvet,
 With coat that's ever green, And the merry rows of elms
 Are the finest ever seen. As wandered through this village, Not so very long ago, I met total stranger, With hair as white as snow. As he shook me by the hand,
 Said he, Hay aside thy fears, I'm a citizen of Sharon,
 Though dead a hundred years" And as he pointed yonder
 To the cemetery gate, He said: "There lie our Kindred, Such is everybody's fate. I just have come from there,
 Where all's decay and rust, To see what this commotion IS About the oil and dust" He asked me to be seated
 Underneath the pleasant shade, For he wished to talk of changes That century had made. So we walked down through the village
  And just below us on the green There stood the tower clock. Said he: "Where is the meeting house Twas built of rough hewn logs. There are no geese upon the green! Instead are many dogs. The mills are gone that carded wool, The dams have tumbled down, The tallow dip l do not see,
 Can this be Sharon town?" He asked me about those iron things, All scattered down the green, s For when he lived in Sharon
 They were never, never seen. And those funny looking wires That were hanging overhead, "Have the people all gone crazy In the hundred years I'm dead.? Then I told him this is progress, As the world goes marching on, Many things have been invented In the hundred years he's gone. I explained about the hydrants And the lines of water pipe, And about the mesh of wires, Some of which will give us light. Then told him of the water In the lake, as I've been told, That the Water Go. condemned. In their awful greed for gold. Still they sell it to the people, It's the very best they've got, For but very little of it
 Comes from any pasture lot. When told him how twas voted, He could see in just trice That the people would not stand it, Come to double up the price. I told him that the people still In Sharon had to toil, And that many thought twas cheaper To lay the dust with oil. Said the stranger: ''I'll be going, All is strange that you did tell; This village is pretty place,
 But don't quite like the smell. I'll come again to Sharon In another hundred years, And hope there will be no such mix As to me It now appears" He arose to go, and started
 At.a loud and awful sound, As great big automobile
 Tore past us OCT the ground, And at the streak of dust he looked And thus did recommend To sprinkle down the village
 With the water that's condemned. The sun was sinking in the west, No fairer view twill meet Until it rises in the east
 And shines on Sharon street. When I awoke and started up How real it all did seem, These lines that have written, They are nothing but dream.

Nothing Too
Good
For the
American People

BOXES A MONTH, proving that the American people recog-
nize, that what is BEST FOR THEM is none too good.
Why this enormous patronage9
The answer is simple: Cascarets are pure, clean, sweet,
mild, fragrant, harmless but effective listle tablets for the treat
ment and cure of Constipation and all Bowel Troubles. They
are put up in neat little enamel boxes, easy to buy, easy. TO
carry lin vest-pocket or PURSE, easy to take and easy of action,
always reliable, always the same, they work while you sleep
ard wake you UP feeling fine in the morning.
They not only regulate the movements and stimulate the muscular walls of
the bowels, but they keep the ENTIRE CANAL CLEAN and antneptc, forcing

by the sam principles and n o changes are required in our formula o pack
We adopted OUR OWN PURE DRUG LAW in 1896 when the first
box of Cascarets came IN the market and have hved and worked and pro-
duced under 1t v since 49,
To-day, after a record of nearly 100000 900 boxes sold, Csscarets STAND
the greater in PURITY, QUALITY and MEDICINAL MERIT than any
other preparation for Bowel trouble in all the world.
This should be a great argument for any one, to try cascarets AT
ONCE, and be healthier and happier for it. Some people have CHRONIC
CONSTIPATION with all the horrors derived from it; others have HAB-
ITUAL CONSTIPATION from carelessness and neglect, but nearly
EVERYBODY has OCCASIONAL CONSTIPATION, which, if not
promptly taken care of is liable to result in its degeneration into the worse
FERNS and cause great suffering and perhaps death
Cascarets, if taken patiently and regularly, will remedy all OF these
awful troubles, but If taken promptly al the very first sign of an Irregular

OYSTERS TAKE TO THE PIPE

men at the Aquarium.

From the New YORK sun.
Young oysters Hasten pon anything they
may chance to light upon on the bottom
on rocks, or 1t might be upon old boots
or dishes or bottles, but a little out of the
usual is a bunch of oysters lately brought
TO the aquarium ttached TO a pipe.
This pipe is a fancy clay, or ii may bc
meerschaum, with a short hard rubber
stem. AT some time when the pipe was in
it's owners possession the stem had
worked loose and he had bound IL around
with several layers of paper TO nah II
tight. and though II has been some years
under water this paper wrapping around
it's stem still remains where ii was put
Its owner, some fisherman or FISHERMAN.
he6 eceIped the pipe overheard when fish
ing or oystering and when il had found a
resting place on the bottom oyster spawn
had settled on it and there grown up.
There are now attached TO the pipe three
oysters probably three years old and three
empty shells. The oysters hat once lived
in these shells were doubtless killed by
starfsh or by some boring enemy of the
oyster. When the old pipe with the oysters
and oyster shells attached to 1t was fished
up there was brought up with il a small
snail that had found a temporary home
in one of the vacant shells.
Bottles with oysters growing in them and
boots and broke cups and saucers with
oysters attached to them are not so UNI
common. but a pipe with oysters growing
on IL IS a little out of the usual.

Theft He Couldn't Deny.

From the YOUTH companion.
The attorney for the defense looked
keenly at the witness who was testify
ing for the prosecution. Your name,
If / understand you correctly" he said,
is Horace Hinsey. Is that right?"
Yes, sir
Did you ever live at Nashua?"
Yes, sir"
And in Wilmington before that?"
Yes. sir"
Mr.. Hinsey, have you ever been ar
rested on a criminal CHARGE"

witness. Never"
Did you ever commit an offense for
which you might justly have been ar
rested?'
Never, sir
MIR. Hinsey, is II not a fact that you
once stole from our own father?"
Here the attorney for the prosecution
interrupted, but the witness chose to
answer.
No, sir" he exclaimed. Never in
my life!"
Now, Mr.. Hinsey," said the lawyer,
suppose | should tell you that ! know
of a case when you did steal from your
father."
Instantly the witnesses brow cleared.

jury, hes right. l remember now.
When | was about s years old ] stole
half a dozen eggs from my fathers gro
Gerry store, too them down under the
bank of the creek, cooked them and
helped eat them. This lawyer, who
was a boy then, not only helped me
steal those eggs but put me up to steal
ing them. How are you Jim?"
The judge and jury joined in the
laugh that followed and the rest of the
examination was conducted on more
friendly lines.
