can duchess has striven to carry to her
friends the glories of Woodstock. One

form a. large, handsome scrap basket.
The cones are tied with ribbons upon
a gold wire frame. Upon one side there
is a bit of birch bark enameled with
the monogram of the duchess. The
edges of the bark curl and are touched
with gold.
To her closest friends the duchess
had recently been sending pictures of
herself. The portraits are mounted up-
on panel cards adorned with the Marl-
borough crest and the autograph of
the duchess. Around the frame is a.
vine of flowers copied from the pet
garden of the donor.
Her grace sent to one of her aunts a.
portrait of herself drawn by herself.
This is declared by- her friends to be
the best likeness she ever had; Con-
suelo said in a note accompanying the
picture:
“O-ne draws one’s own face the first
time one draws, and I hope I have suc-
ceeded in making my own likeness for
you. I wanted to do something you
1' , would prize and I know you would like
' nothing better than something I'had
done myself.” .

STORIES, 0F TIIE STREET.
Norwalk People are Tal
About it on Every
Corner.
It is sometimes an easy matter to fool
the public, but you can’t keep it up
very long. They are sure to find you
out; and every time a man is fooled an-
other skeptic is made. Skepticism is
allowable when reading in a home news-
paper about some incident occurring in
San Francisco or Iowa, but the circum-
stances are entirely different when it
refers to some one right here at home,
friends and neighbors, people you
know, whom you can see, and with
whom you can talk it over. This is the
kind of evidence at the back of Doan’s
Kidney Pills—home statements by
home people, and the astonishing local
work they have been doing, has caused
more talk among our citizens than the
domgs of any other modern wonder.
Read the following. J
. Mr. C. A. Owens, N 0. 190 Main Street
15 a painter and a. paper. hanger by
trade. Like the majority of men who
follow this occupation he is troubled
with disordered kidneys. The requis-
ites to his calling benzine, turpentine,
and other dryers excite and inflame
those organs and late in the fall he
found himself suffering from a return
of the old complaint. Mrs. Owens
ever mindful of her husband’s welfare,
procured for him a box of Doan’s Kid
ney Pills at Hale’s drug store and he
used them. Mrs. Owens says, “My
husband has been greatly benefited by
the. use of Doan’s Kidney Pills: Con-
stant working in white lead and mixing
paint has brought on kidney trouble
and a severe headache. Relief in any
form is always welcome and we are
pleased to recommend Doan’s Kidney
Pills for what they have done.

William Morrell, while fishing for
flatfish Saturday, near Byram shore,
Greenwich, felt a great tug at his line,
and as soon as Mr. Morrell saw the
fish’s shining sides, he knew he never
could land it with the line he was us-
ing, so he gave a grab, and caught the
fish just back of the gill. It proved to
be a codfish and weighed 38 pounds.
IF EVERY MOTHER KNEW, HER
Ll‘i TLE ONE WOULD BE SAVED.
Bridgeport, May 3d, ’96—Dr. Hand
—Dear Sir—“I have used Dr. Hand’s
Teething Lotion and found it all it is

all with baby during his teething; it
has helped him so much, he teases to

land of Crete.
The embassadors of the powers later

Turkish government a. collective note
proposing an armistice in view of the
