Why ~AnurEc" is am
ms RANcE
Against Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are a good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should CONSULT some physician of wide
xperience-such as Dr.FPierce of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
wAnuric." Write him your symptoms
and send a sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
&c Anuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being 80 m any times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration of the blood vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure:
wAnuric" is a regular insurance ana
life-saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit Iime-salts in their joints.
Ask the druggist for ~Anuric" put up
by DR.. Pierce, in 5O-cent packages.

TIRING OF EACH OTHER.


81 was so tired of Jack, poor boy,
And Jack was tired of me;
Most longer-fer sweets will soonest
Fate has been kfnd-and we,
Two foolish spendthrift hearts, MADE
waste
OF LIES gifts with eager haste.
We clanked our marriage chalhs anu
For freedom we had left behind"
Turning from the altar, husband
and wife, does not always presage
happiness forever after, despite the
contrary. Good writer's warn men
and maids that they should study
each other carefully before the tying
of the knot, which becomes strained
and tangled if attempt is made to un-
twist it.
But how can a woman, young and
unsophisticated know what is In
mans heart, or in his thoughts? He
is sure to show the best part of his
nature to his dearie in his counting
days. Even his temper is held care
fully in leash. He never tells her that
he thinks her extravagaHt in the pur-
chase of a new bonnet, a set of books,
or a picture Instead, he praises her
taste. Why wouldn't she think that
the man she is going to marry is the
best natured, most appreciative person
on earth?
If many lovers knew each other as
they really are, they would not be 50
anxious to join their lives together for
all time. The majority of lovers are
not over frank with each other. They
deliberately practice deceiving little.
He leads her to believe that he does
not care how much he spends on her
If he can only see her happy. Deep in
7i7acr hot he will
soon put stop to that sort of business
after marriage.
She leads him to believe that she has
an angelic disposition; no temper at
all. Tacitly she leads him to imagine
that he is to be a martinez in the
household after marriage, His wishes
will be supreme; his word law. Men
tally she is concluding: I'm giving
him his way now. After marriage
there'Il be a different tune sung. 1t
will be my wishes that shah be obeyed
or there'll be war in camp"
Eere the honeymoon has scarcely
begun, the mask has slipped just a
trifle from each face and heart. The
one stands revealed to the other, as
he and she really are. There are few
couples who take the situation phil
osophicaIly and good naturally strive
to overcome difficulties. More couples
give way to their disappointment and
make it the basis for quarre1s and Bit
terness.
Love cannot long Withstand such
cold, whitening blasts. The upshot of
the whole affair is that they soon be-
gin to tire of each other. If common
sense comes to their rescue then and
there, they will frankly confess their
faults to each other and live up to
their promise. If there's but a tiny
root of love left in each heart, 1t can
sprout up into a healthy plant, it's
beautiful tendrf1s INTERVENING. A cou-
pie once welded should never allow
their hearts to drift apart through
wearying with each other

LUCRETIA MOTT


The first Of the prominent woman
suffragists of America was Lucretia
Mott, who was born in Nantucket,
Mass, 123 years ago today, and died
in Phi1adelphia in 1880. She Joined
with Elizabeth Cady Stanton who
was more than a score OF. years her
Junior, in calling the first woman's
rights convention at Seneca Falls, N.
z, in 1848.8 Mrs. Mott was the wife
of James Mott. a prominent abolition
list, and at twenty five she became a
minister Of the Society of Friends.
Her sympafhies were with the under
dog and the downtrodden of ali
classes, but in her early career she
devoted the greater part of her ener-
gies to the abolition cause. She was
early impressed with the unequal
condition of women, and she boldly
declared the right Of her sex to speak
in public, and to take part in public
affairs. She was often jeered and
hooted, and even attacked, by UNI
thinking mobs, and shared all the
perils to which the early abolitionists
were exposed. She founded the Phila-
delphia Female Anti-S1avery Society
and other organizations Of that char
acter. When at length slavery was
overthrown. she devoted the latter
years of her long life to espbusing the
political rights of women.

TODAY's POEM

Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unzind
AS Mans ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude
Heigh no! sing heigh no! unto the
green holly;
Most friendship is feigning, most low
ing mere folly;
Then, heigh no! the hollyI
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky.
Thou dost not bite SO nigh
AS benefits forgot;
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
AS friends remembered not
Heigh no! sing heigh no! unto the
green holly;
Most friendship is feignihg, most low
ing mere folly;
Then, heigh no, the holly,
This life is most jolly.

WOMEN ON THE STAGE

This date is an important one in
the history of the English drama, for
1T was under date of January 3, 1861,
that the gossiping diarist Pepys rec
orded that he visited the Clare Market
Theatre, witnessed a performance of
"Beggar's Bushs' and adds that this
was 1.-The first time that I ever saw
women come upon the stage" AS
Mr.. Pepys was a man about town,
and not likely to miss any such
that this is the 255th anniversary of
that revolutionary change in the
drama. A play without actresses is
now almost unthinkab1e, but prior to
1861 London theatre patrons had to
be content with seeing feminine parts
taken by young men or boys. In
those days it was thought that female
roles were of no particular import
ance, and about the only qualifications
demanded for such parts were smooth
shaver faces and de1icacy of physique
and features. 1t was Charles II. who
was responsible for the Introduction
of women on the English stage. He
had spent many years of his life on
the continent, where there were no
prejudices against women acting, and,
with his. notorious fondness for the
ladies, he found the English custom
not at all to his liking. One day
theatrical performance was delayed
because the man who played the part
of a queen had neglected to shave, and
the merry monarch ordered that
thenceforth women be engaged for
feminine parts. Nell Gwynn, who af-
terward became the favorite of Charles
H., was the first English actress to
gain widespread popularity. FrafI as
she was as to virtue, and with a tend
eney to hard swearing, the lovely Nell
was in many ways a credit to the pro-
fession in which she was one of the
feminine nioueerS

INTERNATIONAL EGG
LAYING CONTEST

The hens in the laying contest at
5Storrs celebrated Christmas week by
laying more eggs than in any previous
week of the competition The pro-
duct1on for all pens total1ed 1853
eggs as compared with 1.557 in the
preceding week, 1.475 for the cor
responding week last year, and 1189
for the corresponding week two years
ago.
Mrs. r. w. Stevens birds from still
water, n. Y, and Tom Barron's frotm
Catforth, England, both White wyan-
dottes, who won first and second re
spective1y for the seventh week swap
ped places in the eighth week, Barron
getting first with AT and Mrs. Stevens
second with As eggs. Jacob E. Jan
sens Rhode Island Reds from North
Haven, were a close third with yield
of 43 and p. w. Backus' White Wyan-
dottes from Chatham, Ontario, fol-
lowed closely with Al eggs. Two pens
of Barred Rocks, namely: Jules F..
Francis, West Hampton Beach, L. l.,
and Fairfield Farms, birds from
Short Falls, N. H, .Abed C. Knight's
White Wyandottes from Bridgeton,
r. t., and Will Barron's White Leg
horns from Bart1e, England, all tied
with 80 eggs each. s.S4
/ Barred Rock No. As from Hampton,
Va; White Wyandottes Nos. t264 and
265 from Catforth, England; Silver
Wyandotte No. 303, from Mt. Vernon,
Mo-, and Rhode Island Red No. 488,
from ByfeId, Mass, were the five in
div1dua1s that laid every single day
last week, Christmas day included.
Last Sundays blizzard was the
worst yet so far8a as the hens are con-
cerned. The high winds found little
cracks and crevices here and there
and drove thes now through into the
houses, thus rendering the litter no
longer fit for use. Such storms do not
lessen the high cost of keeping hens
as dryness of the floors and of the
scratching material is a factor of
prime Importance Many an. amateur
pouItrynan has taken a chance on
the question of dampness simply be-
cause the poultry house could be con-
structed a. little more cheaply but they
all discover sooner or later that it is a
shortsighted policy. Damp, poorly
ventilated houses are not a good in
vestment.

wrote of her silk dresses; I feel she is
above me. never did anything to
dfsp1ease her. At 16 I had my only
