ally shot him herself, but / think It is
only reasonable to suppose that she
took some part in the murder, and that

cool reply.
And vet you claim that you love

and indignant. (ClaytOn knew that il

Arthur Darlington, but that does not

Although, as I said before, we must dc

A JOYFUL PAsTIME
It's Really Pleasure to Cure Catarrh
 by Breathing Hy0nlei.

It isn't a pleasure to saturate your stomach with vile nostrums or to shock the tender membrane of the nose and throat with disagreeable sprays and d0uches.
 But strange to say there are a-few thousand people who do not keep abreast of the times who are hoping against hope that these ancient meth ods will rid them of catarrh.
 If the readers of The Bulletin who suffer from catarrh want to banish this vile and disgusting disease for- ever 50 to The Lee & Osgood Co. to- day and get complete Hyomef (pro- nounced High-o-me) outfit for $l.OO-
 If it doesn't cure it won't cost you a cent because The Lee & Osgood Co. will give you your money back.
 Hyomei is so simple and pleasant to use; pour a few drops from the bottle into the inhaler and breathe it in. As it passes over the membrane and into the lungs with the air you breathe it soothes the raw membrane and kills the catarrh germs. Don't experiment longer. Leading druggists everywhere sell Hyomei for catarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis, etc. Drop a postal for our free book, Booths Fam ous People, Booths Hyomei Co.,, Buff falo, N. Y.

NORWICH TOWN
Rev. Dr.. Slough Speaks at First Church-Meeting of SehooImates After Fifty Years.

' There was a large attendance at the First Congregational church Tuesday afternoon to hear Dr. Slough. The opening song service was in charge of MT. Spooner. Miss Louise Pratt sang My Love to Thee, O Christ. Dr. Slough took for his text Whatsoever we shall ask, the Father in my name" !" He said, ''The whatsoevers of Christ are not so generously accepted as the whosovers. In my name is the se- cret of power in prayer and Christian achievement.
 "The extreme lordship of Christ should be acknowledged. Our only hope in God is through the mediator ship of Jesus Christ. Until we men, ton the name of Jesus there is chaos in the sSirituaf realm. AS you read the names on the tablet of the good and great, who once trod these streets. the lives they lived come back; their lives of self denial, industry and achievement. The union of Christ with His friends carries with it immense possibilities. As the Father sent me, so I send you.
 "The church takes Chrfsts place in ministering to sinful world. It gives unto US eternal life Wes are lifted out of our sinful conduct into the adoption of children. Begin to live as children of God that the kingdom of this world may become the kingdom of Christ"
