one has distinct influence on
the eliElinative members of the
body, and prevents the proper
removal of the impurities from

in the stomach and bowels, and

quickly absorbed into the blood.
Then the circulation becomes
weak and sour, the corpuscles,
which ordinarily furnish nutri-
ment TO the body, are saturated
with the uric. acid, which they
deposit into the muscles, nerves,

PECULIAR STATUES OF KINGS
Rulers Of Dahome Represented In
Gulse of Beasts.

In Man Prof ]. G. Frazer discusses
three remarkable statues of kings Of
Dahome now deposited in the Troca-
dero museum. The figures are symbol
bolical, each king being represented in
the guise of an animal. Thus, Guezo,
who reigned from 1918 to 1858, and
was known as "the cock" is represent
ed by a man covered with feathers;
Guelele (1S5S-S9), "the lion,' as a lion
rampant; Behanzin, his successor, who
was finally deposed by the French,
known as "the shark" appears as a
dogtish graced with the arms and sup
ported by human legs. The feathers
which once covered the statue of
Guezo are nothing but metal plates,
nails, gimlets and scraps of old iron.
Prof. Frazer observes that the exist
ence of these statues seems to prove
that certain kings Of Dahome habit
ually posed as certain fierce animals
OF as birds. They possibly intended
by this means to serve some magical
purpose. At any rate. they cannot be
totems hereditary in the male line,
since they differed in three successive
generations traced from father to son.

Although boxing and wrestling

ously Inconvenience on that account
owing to the fact that such sporting
exhibitions are given just over the
boundary line in the orderly VILLAGE
of Paweatuck. in the thrifty town of
Stonington. Last week there was a
wrestling bout in the building on the
bridge, and this week there was an
other. with a boxing bout prelimi-
nary.
1t has been announced that week
after next there is to be another sport
ing event, which will include the GUS
tomary wrestling match and a limited
round boxing match with Austin Rice.
the cast-iron man of New London,
with more fistic encounters to his rec
ord than any exponent of the manly
art of lf-defense that appears in
the squared roped ring today, as one
of the drawing cards. Thus giving
Rice opportunity to show in public
what he can do in fsticuffs, something
that would not be permitted in his
wicked home town.
The sporting exhibitions given in
Pawcatuck thus far this season have
been orderly, well conducted and sat
isfying to patrons, and are appreci-
ated by the sporting fraternity of
Westerly. Simply one of the convent
ences of border town residents.

LIKE UNTO OTHER cAucusEs.
Fashion Set by Hannibal Hamlin Not
lnfrequentIy Followed.

This old saw says that politics
makes strange bedfellows," and it is
likewise a fact that the professional
politician is frequently moved by the
"exigencies of the case" to acts that
will not stand close scrutiny. Not
alone is this so in the present day,
but it was so 'in the days of the IA
TIERS" When Hannibal Hamlin first
began his political career he was once
at a caucus in Hampden, the only at
tendant besides himself being citi-
zen of very tall stature and ponder
Gus build. Mr.. Hamlin had some res
olutions to pass which began by repre-
sendng that they were presented to a
large and respectable" gathering of
voters, and he proceeded to read and
vote" them onto the records Of the
caucus.
Hold on" cried the other man.
I'VE can't pass that, for 1t amt true. "
What isn't true?" demanded the
willy Hamlin.
at amt a large and respectable
caucus" objected the other member
of the assembly. There's only two
of u.s."
That's all right, brother, that's all
right" assured Hamlin. 1T goes as
read, Just you keep still. This is a
large and respectable caucus, all right.
You're large and am respectable"
And the resolution passed" without

experience Of how men and women
face death: Tell the man Of higher

that he is facing death, and he begins
to fight, demands a consultation, talks
about going to specialists and fights
grimly to the finish. Tell a woman
the same facts, and she lies back to
await her fate. All women are fatal
lists. On the other hand tell a man
that he has one chance in a thousand

taxes. A bill will be presented to the
legislature intended to improve the
situation. THERE'S plenty of room for
improvement. About every phase of

exemptions. These are so numerous,

one of the greatest weaknesses in this

Appalling Possibilities.

1t is fascinating as well as appalling
to let the imagination and the fancy
play around airships in the next war
There are awful possibilities In the
dropping Of high explosives from air
ships on battleships. armies, fortlfica-
tions and cities. That these possibili-
ties are not vain dreams was proven a
few days ago. when Aeronaut Kuben-
shue sailed his dirigible balloon at
night above Los Angeles and dropped
paper bags containing confetti on the
city. The experiment showed that had
he launched dynamite the city would
have been destroyed. And during all
the period of the experiment he was
seen only once, though searchlights
were trying to locate him and the
whole city was watching Apparently
the day is approaching when war will
be so disastrous that nations cannot
afford to fight.-Bristol Press.
