CHANGE IN CAUCUS PLACE.
W ard Committeeman Linccrs in Arms
 of Morpheus Too Long.

Owing to the fact that the commit teeman in the sixth ward evidently in dulSed in too long a session in the arms of morpheus, a change in loca- tion of the democratic primary of the ward is necessitated. In former years a vacant store on Hartford avenue was usually secured, and it had been the opinion that it would again be secure this year, but at the last moment the person. in whose care this end of the work was left evidently overlooked this phase of his duties. As a result the caucus will be held in the Ruthenian hall on Erwin place where the demo- crats met last Wednesday evening.
 The polls will open at this after noon and will close at o'clock. The voters in the ward have received post al cards soliciting the support of Will liam J. Smith, for alderman, but the cards are marked 133 Hartford avenue which may cause some confusion.

Reliable Laxative
 Relieped This Baby
Child was Badly Constipated Until Mother Tried
 Simple Remedy.

In spite of every care and atten tion to diet, children are very apt to become constipated, a condition responsible for many ills in after life unless promptly relieved.
 Mrs. C. W. Wilson, of Shelbyville, Tenn, had trouble with her baby boy, Woodrow, until she heard of Dr. CaldWell's Syrup Pepsin She writes "I can safely say Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin is the best rem edy of it's kind on earth. It acts so gently and yet so surely. Little Wood row was very badly constipated anI We could find nothing that gave re- lief until We tried NOur Syrup Pep sin. which gave immediate relief.'
 Dr. CaldWell's Syrup Pepsin is q compound of simple laxative herbs, free from Opiates or narcotic drugs, mild in action. positive in effect ana pleasant to the taste. It has been prescribed by Dr. Caldwell for more than a quarter of a century and can now be had for fifty cents a bottle in any Well-stocked drug store. A

At the time the story was published in the Herald the soreaead representative of the Hartford COur- ant who had been having his custom ary snooze, became real peeved. May or Quigley usually saves such stories for the Courant, which jumps through the hoop like nice little doggie every time His Honor snaps his fingers But on that occasion the Courant was un- conscious and. having been scooped, attem pted to deridc the story. In or der to save his face with his press agent Mayor Quigley did his usual >Omersault and attempted to dispar- age the importance of the information he gave the Herald representative. At that time many wondered why the mayor was so excited over the incl dent and why he so emphatcally de- niCd that he believed any plots were "4 foot The cat is now out of the ba@--MaNor Quigley was afraid he would lose d few German-American OitS-- d1lu, u fulllOTS are to De DC- iiCVed, such will be the case as the German Americans did not take kind lN to the accusations Mayor Quigley hcapcd on their cOuntrNmen.
 Tn q statement issued last night, a number of prominent German Amer jeans said they had confidence in Mayor Quigley to report to the proper authorities any rumOrs of plots to de strOy New Britain factories, In this way they were right as the Mayor did report last July to the Herald and the police department.

Corn = A School Compost
ton BY Melvin Walker

Dear Juniors:
1 am sending in a composition about
corn.
Corn is the most useful thing in the
central United States.
1t is easy to plant and cultivate and
has many seeds.
First, we pillow the ground and then
disk it two or three times, then har'
row 1t two or three times and then
plant the corn.
In about a week you a see little
shoots beginning to come up. Soon
two little leaves will appear. 80
When it Is about a week old you
start to pillow It.
1t should be plowed about four
times and by that time it is about as
tall as a horses back.
Then during August and September
little ears come.
First come the little shoots and the
| silk and the whole ear.
Then in October it ripens and after
it is hard and dry 1t is time to husk
1T.
We start to husk it about the last
two weeks in October and this work
lasts until far into November.
We put the orn in cribs as we
husk it and we feed it or sell It,
whichever we want to do. .
Before the frost comes we gather
the seed corn and hang it up to dry,
, Seed corn must be good SO you can
depend upon next years crop, because
frozen or mouldy corr will not grow,

There was a good deal of %clapping,
and then MI. Corwin continued.
"School is dismissed for the rest OF
the morning"
The first grade teacher hurried up
tn Susie and put her arms around her.
"You dear child she said as she kiss
ed her. ,
"Tm glad I'm fat now" confessed
Susie. "If / had been little like AIDE.
laide I couldn't have done it,
you're a roly poly as your mother
was" smiled the first grade teacher.
"But mother isn't fat objected
Susie, stoutly; "she's straight and
slender and lovely"
The first grade teacher took the little
bruised. swollen hands tenderly IN
hers. '"And Susie will look just like
mother by and by
Susie smiled, a cheerful, comfortable
little smile. which shone out in her
cheeks and eyes. I'm glad I'm fat
now" she announced, "and I'm glad |
shall be slender some day."
And she raced home to tell her moth.
