 All Afflicted Persons

There fs hope of a welI-based kind which should bring joy and ultimate eontentment to muItitudes of persons who have been troubled for years with deafness or head-HoIses.
 pr. Coutant. an able specialist. has evolved a newly perfected method for treating cases where the hearing is not perfect or where the sufferer is harass- ed by ringing, roaring. buzzfng or other disagreeabIe noises in the head. It ap- pears that about 95 out of every hun dred cases are from ca1ses amenable to proper treatment.
 Dr. Coutant ooes not advocate the use of drugs or electricity. He relies chiefly upon co0perating with Nature in bringing about a speedy and effectu- al cure of morbid auraI conditions. Re marka ble cures are reported. many of them being in the cases of deafness that had existed for about 20 to 40 years. With the description given in his newly published book. the learned docto provides a long series of letters. written by perr0ns WI had been given up as hopeless. and who were speedily cured nt home without loss of time and without inconvenience by Dr. Coutant's natural home method.
 Anyone who is interested can write to a dozen or hundred of the persons who. not long ago. were victims of deafness or head d-DoiseS Cor bOthl and who are now delighted to proclaim themselves as marvenousIy benefited or completely cured.
 pr. Coutant is not one of the ire sponsible quacks. of which there is such a large number. but is a reput- able. responsible. hrentiate, practising physician with a third of century's active experience.
 The doctor believes there are many who are troubled with deafness. etc, who might be perma neDtly freed from their inability to hear and from tin nitus (noisesI if they would do as oth- CTS have successfully done. merely fol- lowing the advice given.

 We hear much of La Barthelemy, the massacre of St. Bartholomew day. but nothing of la Michelade, that frightfuI massacre of Catholics at Mi mes on St. Michaers Day of 1567, when the Ca!vtnistS anticipated by mora than two centuries the horrors of the Carnes and of the Abbaye (September ?; 1792). l wish to respectfully inform our Protestant friends that the bitter

There was no rejoicing at Rome The words of Pope Gregory XIII addressed to the king in congrat- ulation for his escape, as well as the words of Mureto, show that the Ro- man court thanked Almighty God merely for the escape of the royal family from the Hugenot conspiracy.

He states that Lisieux the bishop saved many, and that the Catholics saved forty out of sixty who had been seized at the town Of Romans. Even at Mines, where the Hugenots had twice massacred the Catho' icS in cold blood Gin 1867 and 1569) the latter abstained from revenge CMenard, vol ", D. -S) Paris also furnished many examples of compassion. The Calvlnist author Ia Popelimere, a contemporary, records that the French nobleS distinguished themselves in Paris in saving the lives of many of the confederates, princI- pa1y the Dukes of Guise, Aunale' Bl- ron, BeIlievere, that when it was an nounced to the people that the Huge nots, in order to kill the king, had at tackled his body guards and killed over twenty, a further slaughter would have been perpetrated had not many nobles, content with the death of the leaders, prevented it; even many ltaI- ians armed and mounted, secured the city and suburbs and gathered many fortunates into the security of their own homes.'

 The bitterness of religious animos- ity had nothing to do with the massa- ere. Count Alfred Le Faloud well said that considering the state of mer's minds at the time, religion alone could nave prevented ut NSIp!ei Charles TX, nor his mother, Catherine de Medci, had any zeal for the Catho- lie church, nor any aversion for Pro testantism, except inasmuch as IL Threatened the throne. According to Sismondi, a Protestant historian, the Pope's nuncio in Paris was purpose ly kept in ignorance of the designs of Charles. Ranke, Protestant writer, states that Charles and his mother, Catherine de Medici suddenly left Paris to avoid meeting the Pope's legate, fearing his displeasure at their deception.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF TELEGRAPHS?
 "YES", SAID GRANT; "NO', SAYS TAFT

s,rhe teIegraphs of a nation are like the nerves in the human body. Just as the nervous system transmits mes sages from. one part of the body to tlle others the telegraph lines trans nit messages from $ one part of the dountry to the other. This power of immediate communication is import ant to a country at all times. It is most important in war times.
 The great nations of the world with the e4ception of our own-have seen that ths Telegraph lines should be the prdp@rtyf of tbe government. and have made them so.
 Recently matters had shaped themselves in such a way as to en- dourage the belief that the United States Is not much longer to be back ward in this important matter.
 Postmaster General Hitchcock's recommendation for the condemn9- tlon of the telegraph lines seemed like the first step toward accomplish rnent of national ownership of na- ional communication.
 = But battles VIII nave 10 De 1OugnS, before the great thing is done.
 }lComes President Taft, in his mes sage of yesterday, advising Congress against national ownership of tele- gEaphs, taking the occasion to indict the whole theory of national owner ship of utilities.
 Thus once more does President Taft array himself against the people who have honorcd him with the high est office in the land.
 Having reached the conclusion that the people are not able to govern themselves, he has not far to go to conclude that the peoples govern ment is not able to operate the tele- graphs
 Thus, having slandered the Ameri- can people, does the president islander the government of the American peo- pie, asserting it to be less competent than the government of some fifty other great nations in which tele- graph lines are operated by the gov ernments to the great benefit of their subjects.

DRY IN WILTON

Wept.

Wilton, with its seven dispensaries
CT the barley brew and bottled aqua
fortis, has had the novel experience of
dry Sunday.
Go to your April calendar and there
paint the figures "21" in flaming car
mine. Such day has not been known
in Wilton before since the railroad
went through more than a generation
ago.
Until about o'clock Sunday morn
ing, the scrub-out hours, it was possible
for gentlemen who found themselves
splitting cotton to irrigate the arid pla-
ces. After that the front curtains were
drawn, the doors locked, and there was
not an oasis in the Sunday Sahara.
1t was just terrible.
Strong men went out behind the
barn and wept copiously.
Mr.. Friedrich had not said he loved
the Wilton saloonkeepers but disliked
their business. He says he hadn't even
thought about them. But when he
loves the saloonkeeper that's the time

open country for about two mile
there was good race between the
bear and two dogs and one lone hum
ter on horseback with a double barrel

mounted. The rest were all infantry
and no good, only in a skirmish. This
lone hunter was none other than the

highway that used to run across the
north end of the John Mosher farm

five miles when bruin lost his wind

Mr.. Falkenstein filled him full of
buckshot.
