Many Norwalk Readers Will Appreciate This Ih-r formation. . It is hard always to be pleasant. Go'od natured people are often irri- table. ' If you knew the reason you would not be surprised. ; - Evcr have itching piles ? Not sick enough to go to bed, Not well enough to be content. Nothing will annoy you so. The constant itching sensation. Hard to bear, harder to get relief. Keeps you awake nights. Spoils your temper. nearly drives you crazy. j Isn’t relief and cure a long felt want? It is to be had for everyone in Doan’s Ointment. Itching Piles, Eczema or any itching of the skin. Here is proof of the above. Mr. Lewis Snow, of 33 Prospect St., Webster, Mass., says: ‘7There was a bad case of bleeding piles in my family which had resisted ordinary efforts to cure. We were so favorably impressed with the results obtained from using Doan’s Kidney Pills, that we reasoned if what is claimed for them is so thoroughly carried out, why should not the representations made for Doan’s Ointment be equally true? We got a box at a drug store and it stopped the trouble. We consider both Doan’s Ointment and Doan’s Kidney Pills valuable remedies, and have no hesita- tion in recommending them.” Just such emphatic endorsement is plentiful in Norwalk.

Gun When Mere Infants and Are Strangers to Fear. The Boer has shown himself to be a first-class fighting man. In fact, the Boer victories over the British soldiers are largely accountable for the Eng- lish feeling against them, and in the bitter warfare against the nation the success of the Boers has been extraordi- nary. ' Fewer than 450 Boers resisted 12,000 of the fiercest Zulu warriors on Decem- ber 16, 1838, and 3,000 natives were left dead on the field, and this with old flint- locks. . President Kruger, as a boy, helped the 40 Dutchmen hold off 2,000 Of the men of Moselitkase, then the most renowned native captain in South Africa. The bravery Of the men is shown by the at- tack that 135 of them made on 10,000 Zulus on the Marico river, driving them out of the Transvaal. These are simply better known in- stances Of the fighting abilities Of the Boers. Every man has handled a gun from infancy. In the old days, when a' Boer was not fighting the fierce natives he was defending himself from savage beasts. Every Boer has been trained in warfare. They discovered the method of laagering their weapons, placing them in a hollow square, which the British generals have adopted as the most successful way of fighting the natives. The Boers have shown them- selves masters of strategy, the result or connstant warfare with a cruel and treacherous foe. DIFFERENCE IN BDOTBEACKS. The Durkles and Italians Are lec 1: Cake “Talk and a Watch Service. “Did you ever notice the difference between the darky and Italian boot- lacks?” said a, man about tow‘d to a Chicago Inter Ocean reporter. “I say darkies and Italians, because most of the ‘shining’ in Chicago is done by one or the other. The darkies do the work in barber shops and shoe stores and the Italians run most. of the ‘parlors.’ “Now, you watch a darky, and if he’s alone he’ll talk to his customer. If there's two of them they’ll chatter to- gethei like magpies. And the darky is so full of music and dance that he’s got to put them into his work. He’ll put in all sorts of fantastic motions and beat out a rude kind of time, as if he were picking a banjo or cutting a pigeonwing. When he brushes you he’ll beat you with the whisp broom in the some way. ' “Go into one of the Italian ‘parlors’ and it’s as still as a grave. There may be adozen bootblacks, but not one of them will speak to you or to a com-- panion. They do their work stead- ily and rapidly, but it’s work, and noth- ing else. Same way with their brush~ ing you. It’s as different as a watch service from a cake walk.” A Cure for Nervous. Headache.
