TIE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
RICHARD GUILFORD'S GOLD.

A stormy scene was enacted between Betty and her father after MT. Thatcher's departure, but the girl re- mained obdurate, and her father had to acknowledge to himself that it was not an easly matter to make her yield. Although he was greatly vexed with her, he could not help admirlng her spirit
 A week passed, ard then some mys- terious proceedings began to take place on Richard Guilford's farm. Richard had now returned from the city and brought a stranger with him. Some inquisitive neighbor reported that he had seen the two men, with queer looking instruments in their hands, walking from one end Of the farm to the other. This piece of news spread rapidly and the villagers began to be very curious. Even MT. Carter, when he heard of 1t, could not help wondering what it meant. AS for Betty, she was as mystified as any one, but she felt that Richard at the very first opportunity would let her know.
 The next evening MT. Thatcher call ed. When he arrived Betty was in her own room, and when she went down stairs she found him and her father in a sate of great excitement.
 The latter held the evening paper in his hand, from which he apparently had been reading aloud. Betty looked at him with questioning eyes, and he passed her the paper without word. Immediately her eye caught thls head line: "Gold Is Found on Young Farm CTS Land in Freeville" Betty quickly scanned the details following this. Not that it was really necessary, for after the first moment of bewilderment, she had intuitively understood Richards plan. She feigned astonisliment at the news. and deceived both her father and MT. Thatcher.
 I'm mighty glad to hear of this" declared MT. Carter. after few TnU- ments. According to the paper he'll be one of the richest men anywhere around. Well. he deserves it, if any person ever did. He's a lad after my own heart. And he's always been a first rate fellow. Amt that so, MT. Thatcher"
 Mir. Thatcher murmured an assent, but his manner was not very convinc- ing He had lost heart, for he knew that hts rival now stood a good chance with the father
 Later when MT. Carter and Betty were alone, he said: 'Tll take back what said while ago, Betty. If you and Dick want to get married, why I shan't have another word to say against it. I'd rather you'd have him than any other man know of"
 But after all Betty did not marry money; for all the gold her husband brought her was a wealth of love and rotection.-Boston Post.

The Bromley Lectures at Vale.

The Bromley lecture course at Yale is interesting for several excellent req sors. It is founded in memory of Isaac H. Bromley, who established his wide newspaper fame while at work in this state, and the chair has been occupied at times by such men as St. Clair Mo kelway and Whitelaw Reid. This year with peculiar appropriateness the two lectures will be delivered by Hart Lyman, Yale '73 who is now and for years has been the editor of the New York Tribune, the paper on which MT. Bromley did his last and some of his best work, and which stands prominent today among the clean and intelligent journals of the country MT. Lyman is clear and clever writer. as well as q delightful and breezy public speaker, he is known as one of the brightest and wittiest of the Yale men of his date. There is no question that his papers will be of immediate interest, and permanent value. The two lectures will be delivered on the evenings of Feb. 18th and 22d.-Hartford Courant.

MT. Carter was very angry and when his daughter entered the room his wrath burst forth.
 So this is the way you obey me, Is it?' he stormed. T told you not to have anything more to do with that young Guilford and the very next day you go against my wishes
 But Betty was not at all awed by this sudden storm. She was her fath- CTS own daughter, and her brown eyes looked into his steely blue ones, with out hinching.
 I've promised to be Richards wife, father" she said, quietly. There's no harm in my going out walking with my iance, Is there?"
 MT Carter ignored the question. You shan't marry him." he declared, sternly. Hes poor man, compara- lively, and you know I've different plans for you
 That's just it, father You've made up your mind that I shall marry Da- vid Thatcher a man old enough to be my grandfather-alm because he's rich, and you want me to mar ry money
 There's no need of our discussing why I want you to marry David Thatcher Well talk now about why I don't want you to marry that young rascal Guilford. You weren't cut out for a farmers wife, Betty I don't want you to have anything more to do with him, and I forbid it.'
 Betty said nothing, but the firm lines which settled around the pretty mouth told plainly that she did not intend to yield to her fathers wishes. After a few moments she swent proudly from the room. and went upstairs to her own chamber.
 sT really don't want to dfscbev him 7" Thatcher. If father won't give his con- sent to my marrying Dick, why I'll marry him without it."
 Suddenly her thoughts turned to what Richard Guilford had said that afternoon. Don't worry, little girl" were his words at parting. Just trust in me and everything will come out all right. Love always will find a way"
 What could he have meant?" she reflected.
 Richard had also told her that he was going to the city that week, but he would not say what business was taking him there. Although she won dered a little, she trusted him fully, and was confident that she would hear all about it when he returned.
 That evening David Thatcher called, and though Mir. Carter requested her to treat him with cordiality, she was barely civil, and her elder sultor was quite chilled by her indifference. The question he had been intending to ask her he decided to postpone until she was more gracious

The Heart Can't Stand Rheumatic Acid
 Poisoning
The Uric-O Treatment Expel.S
 the Poison from inc Blood

Those sharp. shooting pains through the chest around the region of the heart mean that poisonous uric and rheumatic acid are there ready to spring and grip tightly the muscles controlling the hearts action. Don't neglect these warnings. You must neutralize and drive these dangerous poisons from the system, or sooner or later they will overcome you.
 The only true way to cure Rheuma- tism is to get at it from the Inside with Uric-O. It acts with marvellous swiftness on the muscles, kidneys and blood. Cleans out the sand-like ae- posits in the muscles, forces the kid neys to perform those duties for which they were designed and neutra- lizes the acid within the blood.
 Uric-O is a liquid taken internally 3 times daily, and does not contain any morphine. opium or other so- called pain deadeners." Sciatica, Muscular, Inhammatory and Articu- lar Rheumatism all yield readily to Uric-O.
 It sells for 75c to s1.o0 the bottle or you can obtain a trial bottle free by writing to The Smith Drug O., 1s4 Smith Bldg, Syracuse, N. Y.
 Uric-O Is sold and personally rec commended in Norwich by H. J. Steiner, in Putnam by H. L. Burt, in Willimantlc by Chas. DeVillers, and in Moosup by J. W. Tuckerman

THE OLDEST LIVING METHODIST

The oldest living Mason and the old est living graduate are always with us, but 1t is not often that the oldest living Methodist attracts attention Just now, this special honor has faI- len to Mrs. Amanda Gasoway, a na- five of Ohio, who is 96 years of age and has been an active member of the church for s5 years.
 Mrs. Gasoway was born of Metho- dist parents, near Cleveland, O., and when but a baby her parents took her 10 the meeting" with them. When 4 years of age she was taken to Jeffer- son county, Ind, and began to attend Sunday school in the little log cabin which served as a place of worship for all the pioneers and settlers of those early days. Seven years later she joined the church, which was then conducted by the circuit rider and began her life as an indefatigable church worker.
 Tn those days 1t was not so easy to go to church, and once there, after long and tiresome rides through timberland and over rough roads, the church itself offered little or none of the comforts oe today, but they were strenuous days in Indiana. But the little church mem Der was undaunted by hardships. and with her parents, attended the meet ings" in all kinds of weather and with punctual regularity.
 As time went on and Jefferson coun- ty began to grow Miss Wiley, which was Mrs. Gasoways maiden name took an active and aggressive part in the construction of a more suitable church for the neighborhood farmers and the one which was erected at that time, in 1880, was one of the first frame churches built in Jefferson county.
 Mrs. Gasoway is now living with her daughter, Mrs. S. P. McCurrv. in Goodland. e little town in Indiana with about 2.000 inhabitants. She Is remarkably preserved for her age and is still strong enough to attend serv ices each Sunday and to take part fin them.
 Mrs. Gasoway is certainly entitled to the attention which Is given her on account of her fidelity to Method ism, and may she long continue as the oldest active worker in this great and energetic denomination

NEW BOOKS.

Discourses and Sermons. By James,
 Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop of
 Baltimore. Cloth. 12 mo. Pub
 lished by John Murphy company,
 200 West Lombard street, Balti-
 more, Md.
 principal festivals of the year, these discourses were for the most part preached in the Baltimore cathedral. They are not the result of nasty prep aration, but have been the fruit of nearly fifty years serious meditation in the sacred ministry.
 As d preface to his book, Cardinal Gibbons says: The subjects embraced in this work have been to the writer an unfailing source of joy and com fort, of strength and fOrtitude during the last half century.
 They have been to millions of souls in every age for nearly twenty cen- turles a fountain Of light to those that sat in darkness; they have been an infalliDle guide to the Christian pill grim, a consolation to the afflicted, courage to the faint-hearted, food to the hungry, an inexhaustible refresh ment to those that thirst after right eousness; they. have been wholesome medicine to the sick, a salutary rebuke to the sinner and the hope of eternal life to the faithful followers of Christ. l earnestly hope that they will also reward the piOUs reader with those heavenly treasures which only the gos- pei message can abundantly bestow."
 The titles of the sermons give an adequate idea of their scope and pur- pose. "The General Judgment" Am l My Brothers Keeper?" Why We Should Rejoice," Jesus Christ Our Friend" "The Mission of Christian Parents" Christian Marriage" "The Sanctifica tion of Our Ordinary Ac- tions," Christian Manhood" Why the Church Honors the Mother of Jesus" international Peace" "The Use of Adversity,' "The Moral Aspect Of Suicide Observance of the Lords Day" Pay What Thou Owest," "Obe- dience to All Lawful Authority" " Christ the Only Enduring Name in History and the Great Reformer Of Society,"" ct al.
 As is to be expected, the different sermons are marked by clarity. choice and heautifUl imagery, the positiveness born of deep conviction. Each is the message of one who has humanity's s welfare very near his heart, who gives freely of his rich and ripe and varied experiences that others may be bene- fited. Each, too, is brief; for His Emi- hence explicitly declares that Hong sermons weigh heavily upon the mind as a surfeit of food pals upon the appetite.'
 The book-it is of a5out 800 pages is one which every person who is con- cerned about the vital subject of life here and the life to come will read with interest and profit. Every page has it's epigrams, its axioms, it's little sentence sermons, mentions. guides, warnings, suggests of truth. which have double emphasis and significance, coming from one whose labors in the cause of humanity, for peace, for clvic and socia! purity, for the stability of the homo and of good government and good citizenship and individual worth have made ohim the friend of all, teacher exemplar, an authority re- vered.

A WISE ECONOMIC POLICY.

It ia the policy of the authorities of some American cities to reduce the loafers to tho minimum as sure means of lessening crime and protect ing the property and interests of the people.
 There are too many people who as- sume that the world owes them a liv ing and then proceed to render poor and unsatisfactory service for big pay or who refuse to work and permit themselves to become dependencies permanent drain upon the patience and charitable resources of the com munity.
 In preaching the gospel of getting busy and keeping busy a city contem- porary says: There is no place in modern society for the drone who re- fuses to do his share It may be go- ing too far to say that the world owes every man . job. It iH certainly going too far to accept the loose so- phism of the ourbstone haranguer that the world owes every man a living whether he works or not. Rather turn the problem right end foremost and say that every man owes the world the willingness to make his living. This may possibly be another way of saying the same thing. but the fact remains that the man who can work and won't work ought to be made to work-to paraphrase the aphorism of the unwilling songster. It will thus be found that we are not far from saying that the man who can work but can't find work deserves a job at somebody's hands. While we are set ting the mooted questions of whose hands. we can all agree on the prop osition to deal summarily with the shiftless and vicious"
 The municipality that is busy knock ing buns and loafers off from public perches. and compelling men to find occupations or to keep out of the pub lie eye, is doing much for itself as well as for those whose idle habits make a nuisance as well as a burden of them.

What It Is-

What It Is-
 Is liquid and digests ALL foods.
 Because food must digest.
 Undigested food trouble sooner or later.
 Long continued indigestion results in various kinds of dyspepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia and other diseases, hard or impossible to cure.
 At the least, indigestion deprives the system of nourishment. poorly nourished body falls an easy victim to the prowling microbes of con tagious and infectious diseases.
 Someone had to make digester-a perfect digester
 We did it and named 1t Kodoll Why It Is
 The perfect digester must be in liquid form so that its action may be as quick as it can be swallowed. The perfect digester must be harmless Kodo contains narcotic or other hurtful ingredients The perfect dlgester must have tonic qualities.
 Kodol is liquid
 Kodol increases food-enjoyment and that with out the illeffects of tonics based stimulants.
 Kodo is the result of a careful analysis of all of the digestive fluids in the mouth, stomach and intestines and of observation of their eff fects separately and in combination, all class es of food that people eat.
 Albumen is digested by pepsin. Kodol con- tains pepsin. It also contains hydrochloric acid because pepsin cannot do complete work with out it. and pancreatn because that, too, is neces- sary There are fats and starch and other food clements to be looked after
 Kodol will take care of any or all. What It Does
 It stops indigestion, by taking the place of the digestive fluids. It prevents disease by reducing the tendency It tones the system by restoring (not stimulating) the appetite. It induces sleep without being sedative. It emptes the bowels

K KOQOl

without purging It gives Nature a chance to cure. It prevents nervous dyspepsia How It Does It.
 In Natures way.
 It will not cure anything No medicine will. Nature is the only for bodily ailments or accidents surgeon cant mend broken leg. A doctor can't cure dyspepsia The surgeon sets the bone in flace, puts the leg in plaster cast and helps the> patient let Nature do the mending. The physician tries to take the strain on the part of the system affected by the dyspepsia or other disease so that Nature can effect it's cure. So Kodol works.
 It rests any part or all of the digestive appa- ratus and lets the wornout section rest in a per. fectly natural way
 How To Prove It.
 Try Kodol at our expense-we don't doubt the result. Once tried you will wonder why you have delayed so long. Don't hesitate because other so-caled digesters have failed you. They couldn't help you.
 Kodol will digest any food element anywhere at any time In a test tube-where you can watch it. if you choose-provided of course you keep it at stomach temperature and in motion
 Better try it-in stomach, tube or both.
