The 4 Georgetown marching club
which created for itself such a favorable

Friday night, seems to have been the

were to late to board a train and a
“special one was provided for them at 4
o’clock in the morning. All went mer'
rily until Wilton was reached, when an
accident occurred to the train that de-
layed the members return home until
the sun was well up in the eastern skies.
But despite the delays the members
did not lose an iota of their enthusiasm.

 

Post Election Sernion.

At the First Congregational church
“last evening, the Pastor’s theme was
“After the Battle, Some Things the
Great Conflict Should Teach Us.”
This text was 11 Chron. 20:15. \“The
Battle is Not Your’s but God’s.”
Among the points made were the fol-
following: 1-—-A profounder faith in our
Republican Institutions. 2—A strange
confidence in the honesty and loyalty
of the great mass of American citizens.
“id—A, better understanding of the great
value of these quadriennial struggles of
the American people as an Education
in governmental principles and civic
obligations. 4-—A clearer vision of the
not always remembered truth, that the
glorious temple of our Republic is sup-
ported by four massive pillars and can-
not be made to stand permanently on
only three of them. Those pillars are
“Diffused Liberty;”—-”Difi'used Intel-
ligence;”-—“Difi‘used Prosperity” and
“Diffused Consciousness.” 5—A pro-
founder sense of God’s providential
care of our beloved Republic.”

The Best for Children.

“I believe Chamberlain’s Cough Remedv
is the best for children I ever used. Four

thcn used a osoonas the first symptoms
appear, that is as soon as. the child becomes
hoarse or even after the Ifrflupj." cough has
appeared, it will prevent the attack.- The
mothers of croupy children should bear this
'in mind and always keep the remedy at
hand. It is also the best remedy in the
world for colds and whooping cough. For

For the Prevention of Malaria.

The lemon treatment, recommended
by Tommasi-Crudel, for persons who
are suffering from chronic malarial
poisoning, or those living in' regions
where such poisoning is prevalent, is
growing in favor asils good effects upon
trial are shown. The simplicity of the
treatment has had an influence against
its use, yet this very simplicity, and the
added fact that no bad results can pos-
sibly follow its use, should commend it
to those especially who have been un-
able to obtain relief by other means
from the effects of malaria. The treat-
ment consists in a morning drink pre-
pared in the following manner:

Cut a fresh lemon into three slices,
rind as well as pulps; place in an tarthen
vessel that has not been used :‘or any
other purpose. and add three oiipfulls
of water; boil down to one cupfuli; then
strain with pressure through linen and
set aside one night; drink the entire
quantity before breakfast the next
morning; make it fresh every day, and
continue its use for one or two weeks,

> or longer, according to circumstances,

gradually reducing the frequency of
using it as the effects of the poisoning

disappears, and returning to its use
again whenever the bad signs of malaria
begin to show themselves.

The Robert Emmett club will meet
to-night.

The Cow Boy Caught On.

The young woman from Boston was
at the table in a. railroad restaurant
in the far West, and when she cs-
sayed to cut the steak with which she
had been served she discovered that
what she needed was a higher educa-
tion in athletics, says the Detroit
Free Press. After four or five inef-
fectual attempts to dissect it, she
called to the waiter. '

, “Cahn’t you," she asked, “give me a
bit of steak which is characterized by
less tenacity of tissue?”

The waiter staggered, and a cow-
boy across the table looked up.

“I didn’t quite ketch, mum,” said
the waiter, bending forward with his
hand to his ear.

“I said,” and there was a. shade of
annoyance in her tone, “that I de-
sired a portion'of steak in which the
coherence of the molecules was not so
apparent.”

“Oh,” stammered the waiter, and
he stood fixed with his mouth open
in amazement.

The young woman became embar—
rassed. .

“Herc,” snorted the gallant cowboy,
coming to the rescue, with a sounding
whack on the table; “git a move on
you; what the young lady wants is a
piece of meat that,“ ain’t so tough she
can’t stick her piirty tooth into it;
see?” and the young woman actually
smiled as the waiter hurried away.

 

At a West Point Buiii'. '

At the dances given at the great
military academy nearly everything is
reversed. As the cadets are virtually
prisoners, not allowed to leave the
grounds except upon certain occa~
sions and at certain timcs,nnd as they
have prccious little pocket money, all
the calls and attentions and the like
must come from the girl. She it is
who sends the youth flowers, sweet-
meats and so forth. She calls upon
him, and, indeed, altogether takes the
initiative in a curious leap-year—like
way at total variance with what she
will experience in after life. The
very novelty of it is interesting,
though. A first experience at a West
Point hop is not likely to be forgot-
ten. Every girl Who is to be present
is duly registered in a big book, and
if she is not already supplied with a
regular escort, the “hop manager” se—
lects one for her, but when the girl,
duly chnperoned, arrives at the hop,
she finds that she has filled her dance
program with the names of cadets
whom she possibly never even saw.
This may strike the girl as a trifle
cut-and—dried, unusual and savoring
decidedly of military discipline, but it
is the West Point way, has been so
for years, and there seems to be no
likelihood that it will ever be altered.

 

You may talk of your gold and your silver,
Of luxury, comfort and joy— .

But give me the young ostrich stomach
That lined me when I was a. boy.

Fame Didn’t Bother Him.

Shakespeare never took any trouble
to hand himself down to fame and
posterity, says the London Chronicle.
Superbly indifferent to renown, writ-
ing only as the sun shines and the
winds blow, because it was the work
he was created for, he dashed-0133
those marvelous productions, and
when they had accomplished their ob-
ject of paying his current expenses
and pleasing the public of his time he
retired to Stratford-on-Avon, utterly
careless, as it seems, whether his
splendid plays lived in the memories
of men or died out of recollection.

 

 

It was part of his royal and lofty na— '

ture, this large indifierence. so grand-
ly contrasted with modern yearning
to be advertised, the latter—day ache to,
he landed and remembered.

German Stupidity.

The Boston Transcript tells a good
story about a consignment of goods
made in Germany to a Boston china
store. A representative had ordered
in that country a variety of goods,
and among them a lot of cups, which
are beautifully labelled, “To My
Brother,” “To 3. Friend,” and so on
through the list of human relations.
He had ordered with the rest a lot of
mustache cups. They were well and
duly made, but great was his aston-
ishment when the consignment ar-
rived to find the greater number of
the cups so contrived to protect the
beverage against the masculine hir-
sute adornment labelled thus: “To My
Sister," “To My Mother.” “To My

 

Wife,” “To My Betrothedl”

EDITOR GAZETTE :—-It is reported down
here, that some of your extra sensitive
“Bridge” people are ‘kicking’ because
a portion of our South Norwalk para-
ders fell out of line and returned home
after marching all over our city, and
across the Washington street bridge to
and through East Norwalk. It should
be borne in mind, that many of these
men had worked hard all day and being
tired when they started out, did not
feel equal to continuing their march all
over and around the “Bridge,” and to
the borders of Winnipauk and Wilton.
It should also be borne in mind that
the parade, as first announced, was to
be a South Norwalk demonstration and
the “Bridge" ‘Wasn’t in it;’ your parade
being announced for this Monday night,
and that ‘you’uns swooped down upon
we’uns’ with your prodigiously long
line of march, fall of a sudn’t,’ as it
were. Further, the most of us, did
tramp your magnificent distances with-
out a ‘kick,’ willingly helping you out
in your suddenly improvised ' demon-
stration to a very late hour without so
much as a ‘thank ye,’ a cracker or cup
of cold water.

Would it not have been better to have
treated those Georgetown boys, who
couldn’t get home ’till morning, to a
little refreshment, instead of criticising
the few of our line who dropped out of

The Washington Evening Star says
much has been Written about the
beauty, the stupidity and the vicious
ness of the lizard tribe, and I want to
say a word about the intelligence of
the chameleon, a. little reptile belong-
ing to the great lizard family, and in
size the anti'podes of the alligator, its
big brother. ‘

The incident I now relate came un-
der my personal observation, and
demonstrates that the chameleon is
susceptible of education and can be
ranked with animals classed much
higher in the scale of intellectual de-
velopment.

Miss Henrietta Keene, a little lady
of 12 years, living in Philadelphia,
was presented with two Florida
chameleons, and she at once began
instructing and educating her pets.
By continued gentleness and kind-
ness she won their confidence, and at
her call they would raise their heads,
listen, and then come running quickly.
Soon they responded to their names—
Brinton and baby—and nodded their
little heads knowingly.

She then taught them to stand up
on their hind legs and put their little
fore paws together and stand in the
attitude of prayer, looking solemn and
closing their eyes. At a signal they
would quickly prostrate themselves,
roll over on their backs and pretend
to be dead, lying without motion un-
til told to rise and embrace. which
they would do with every sign of joy.

A'rural Georgia preacher, finding the
weather too warm, pull'ed off his coat
and preached in his shirt sleeves. After
the sermon a good brother, think-
ing an editor who was present
would make a sensation of the inci-
dent, said to the person:

“I don’t suppose you knew, when you
pulled off your coat today, that one of
them newspaper fellei's was in meet-

“Yes, I did,” replied thc. preacher.
“But I had my eye on it all the time!”
