The little birds would fly TO me,
Their song was all a springtime pledge,
"See, Love is comm nigh to ye."
But when ] woke, ] heard no voice at all
Beside the black crows call!

Dressed all in blue and gold for me,
' THAT Knocked my sorry cloak and hood)
Came Love a-steppin' bold for me.
But when ! woke and looked TO find him

Long Distance Patriots.

Some kind-hearted and dislnterested ne
tenders of the Irish race have decided that
it is their duty "to keep England from
sending. either by force, starvation or
deceit. the remaining young lrishmen to
death or captivity on foreign SOIL II
their action looks a little oliicious' the eX-
cuse is that the Irish themselves have been
gagged by their wicked oppressors and no
longer have "the right to express any ma
tional opinion" Hence these long-distance
patriots are resolved to speak for them at
great meeting to be held here next month
where it will be determined how best to
preserve for Ireland the remnant Of her
manhood"
They have been fortunate enough TO per
suade native-born lrishman to head
them. It is true that he was carried TO this
country in his early infancy and that his
knowledge and understanding of Irish sen
timent and Irish conditions must be purely
intuitive. but in that way he is 10 worse on
than most of his fellows. Besides, he IS an
eminent citizen and judge, and his name
looks well at the top Of a list made up OF
names that are mostly unknown TO fame.
There are few other judges among the
patriots, but they are not so maniiestly
destined by birth to save Ireland. One
was born in Penn Yam, another IN Middle
town. another in Binghamton, another ID
Windsor. Conn.-indeed, none Of them is so
Irish as the judge whose
narcnts emigrated from the County Wex-
ford The saviors of Ireland indeed, might
have chosen some other fairly well known
personages more or less closely associated
with the country that is TO be saved there
is q priest. for instance. who lived IN Ire
land for the first twelve years of has hie'
and a popular musician who did not leave
his native land for Germany before the age
of seven. There is also the editor Of AN
paper, but be is perhaps
too much of a comedian to be- taken seri-
ously in Ireland.
Il will cheer the poor. oppressed Irlsh'
ANYWAY. to see so many strangers ear
nestlv solicitous to preserve the remnant
Of their manhood. Precisely how the rem
nant is to be preserved is still secret, but
that will doubtless come out at the great
meeting. II may be thar the saviors Of the
country are prepared themselves to 60 over
and fill up the gaps in Irish manhood an
enterprise which would meet with little op-
position except perhaps, in ireland.

TIRED WORKING MEN
A Local Druggist Suggests a Remedy For Overworked Run
 down Men,,

The following letter from Manager Hodes recounts the experience and condition of many New Britain men. Read this letter and oul offer which follows:
 Brooklyn, N. r., 'I am a general office manager, and became so ner- Vous and rundown in health that lost my appetite and finally my health broke down completely largely be- cause of oVerwork. I tried Beef Iron and Wine, and other remedies with out help. l saw Vinol advertised and soon after taking it I noticed an in,- provement, l now have a hearty ap- petite, sleep better, feel better and have gained considerable in weight" :" Samuel Hodes, 501 Stone Ave.
 The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because it contains the three oldest and most famous ton ics viz.-the medicinal elements of fresh cod livers without oil, peptonate of iron and beef peptone.
 We ask every run down over worked man in New Britain to try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that their money will be returned if 1t fails to help them as it did MT. Hodes. The Clark & Brainerd Co.,, Druggists, New Britain, Conn.

made a regular part of the Christmas plans of the school.
 Special mention should be made of the new adult class, formed in the fall. It is under the leadership. of MT. Chas. E. Steele, and is open to both men and women. For the cur- rent year the course of sstudy pur- sued is ''The Origin and Teaching of the New Testament Books" The other adult classes, for young wom- en under Miss Elizabeth Eastman, for men under Col. w. w. Bullen, are proceeding as usual in their studies.
 The Home Department superinten- dent reports on the whole, a pros porous year. There is a net loss however, of two, in the enrolment of the department. Thus it will be seen that our Sunday school offers adults facilities for Bible study either in the regular session or at their homes. It is greatly to be hoped that many of our church people, not now maintaining habits of regular Bible study, will form such a habit by joining one or other of these depart ments of the school.
 A very welcome addition to the equipment of the school which came during the year. consisted in seven new tables for the Primary Depart ment. This department had been getting along with only two-thirds of the tables it needed. Now, part ly by vote of the society's committee, but mainly through private genera sity, the equipment of the school in this respect has been completed.
 The Boys division has greatly ben- efited during the past year by change in it's administration. MT. Louis w. Bruemmer has accepted the post of superintendent, and has entered upon the work with great ability. His name comes before you tonight for formal election to the position. The methods in use in the Boys division are pedagogically correct and prac-

BANISH RHEUMATIC
 PAIN FOREVER
OpiateS and Narcotics Give only Tenn porary Relief-Rheuna, Mighty, Powerful and Quick Acting,
 DpciSiyeIy COnOuCpS.
DeciSiNeIY COnQucrS.

People who have been tormented for years-yes, even so crippled that they were unable to help themselves have been brought back to robust health through the mighty power of Rheuma.
 Rheuma acts with speed it brings in few days the relief you have prayed for. It antagonizes the poi sons that cause agony and pain in the joints and muscles and quickly the torturing soreness disappears.
 It is harmless remedy, but sure and certain, because it is one discov cry that has forced rheumatism and sciatica to yield and disappear.
 Rheuma is rigidly guaranteed. Try two 5O-cent bottles and if you do not get the joyful relief you expect, your money will be returned. To supply the ever increasing demand Clark & Brainerd Co.,, always has a supply of Rheuma on hand.

STORE PROPERTY TRADED.
CrossviIIe Mercanti e Company Sells
Stock and Buldns to lIIinois
Party

Last week a trade zeal was closed
whereby H. W. Leydig, Dixon, illinois.
became owner of the CrossvilIe Mer-
camille Company store building and
stock. Mr.. Leydig Is a prominent
manufacturer of Dixon, ILLINOIS, and
made the trade for purely speculative
purposes. The consideration was class
ed as SIS. 900 deal.
The Mercantile company. through J.
S. Cline, closed out the store property
and over 100 acres of wild land fer .
farm of III acres near Dixon. illinois.
The smallest price that land Is sell
ing adjoining this farm is $l55 an acre.
Mr.. Leydlg was acco panied by Fl.
l.. Fordham, also of Dixon, who assist
ed In arranging the details of the trade.
After the trade was closed Mr..
Leydig interested q. M. Martin Il Sons
to the extent of buying the Mercantile
Company stock and they took charge at
once and began arranging it for busi-
ness. Just what they will do in the
way of stocking up and opening up .
general store they do not know as yet
for some details remain to be adjusted
that will decide that.
1t Is possible that parties from Dix
on will come here and open up large
department store, which will include
putting in a new stock of not less than
SO. 900. That, hu ~ever, is matter that
y Ill be determined by Messrs Leydig
and Fordhan after consulting with two
active young men they expect to back
IN the enterprise. Mr.. FArnham 10 Z
wealthy banker and said he would back
s-s-::-,se to the extent Of $4,000
IL others can ae induced to take active
charge of the business. He also ex-
pressed the view that in the event the
store was established there
would be banking department con-
nected with the business. They we're
very much impressed with the pros
poets of the country for development
and especially by the large percentage
Of cash business that is done.
Nothing definite is likely to be
known as to their plans short OF sixty
days.
