Stafford Springs Readers Can No Long
 CT Doubt the Evidence
 This grateful citizen testified long ago.
 Told of quick relief of undoubted benefit.
 The facts are now confirmed.
 Such testimony is complete-the evidence conclusive.
 It forms convincing proof of merit.
 Dwight F. Lull, retired farmer, 35 St. Bernard's Terrace, Rockville, Conn. says: For three years had dull, heavy ache in the small of my back which came on by attacks. When stopped or sat down for awhile the trouble changed to sharp twinges. My back tired easily and often had headaches and dizzy spells. Doan's Kidney Pills proved to be just what I needed, and had not taken them long before was cured Several of my friends have also been benefited by this remedy. I verify all said about Doan's Kidney Pills when I previously recommended them, for they are the best kidney medicine I ever used.

DanieI O'ConneII.


 After a dinner at Lord Dungarvan's, Lady Morgan writes in her diary: I met the redoubtable Dan O'Connell. Dan is not brilliant in private life. not even agreeable. He is mild, silent. un- assuming. apparently absorbed and an utter stranger to the give and take charm of good society. I said so to Lord ClanrIcarde. who replied: "If you knew how l found him this morning! His hall. the very steps of his door. crowded with his clientele. He had q word or written order for each, then hurried off to the law courts, thence to the Improvement society and was the guest here today. Two hours be- fore he was making that clever but violent speech to MT. la Touch, and now no wonder that he looks like an extinct volcano"

We notice in the Republican the death by typhoid fever in Palmer of George Winford Fitch, IT, son of Lawyer Arthur E. and Lura Newton Fitch, and grandson of George New ton and Harriet Topliffe Newton, of the old Leonard and Topliffe Willing ton stock. Mrs. Newton and her daughter, Lura, used to come often to visit her aunts, Mrs. Rhoda Leonard Ormsby and Mrs. Lura Leonard Hull. There are now comparatively few who remember these two fine, useful women or the Topliffe and Leonard families, of whom there are no sur vivors in the town. There are read CTS of this column at distance who will sympathize with the parents in the loss of this unusually brilliant youth, whose death is deplored in Palmer, in the Second Baptist church, Sunday, school and young mems or ganizations, of which he was a mem- Der.
 The funeral of Mrs. Celinda Shaffer, widow of William Waldo, took the place of the regular service Sunday afternoon. The Sunday school was held as usual at o'clock. Rev. MT.

The funeral was largely attended by church members, the old residents particularly, by old friends and relatives, children, grandchil- dren and others. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. The bear CTS were Deacons F. w. Pratt and W. H. Bracket, Representative John J. Himmeler and Station Agent George Bugbee. The selections by the choir were favorite hymns of the departed
