From the number of them being sold, there does not appear to be any very general desire to shake the Christmas tree. . ’ A Buffalo man who died while shovel- ing snow off his pavement, appears to justify the habit of the tramps who are only willing to work at this business in the summer. Those people who kick at Santa Claus stores for children would possibly have them so preternaturally wide- awake that the Sandman couldn’t shut their eye up. Corks are being made for bottles which will drop the liquid instead of pouring it. Bottles with corks of this description would never become popu- lar in Bridgeport. THE OTHER'FELLOWS. _ A darned stocking will not shock Santa Claus. He is a dispenser of sweets and useful things, 'not a critic. —Norwich Bulletin. - A Louisville girl had a chance to kiss Hobson, the other day, and de- clined it. Now she can turn up her nose at the flocks of commonplace girls who know how his mustache tickles. —~New Haven News. Just now the doctors are arguing about what constitutes the grip, where it comes from and whence it is- travel- ing. As usual there is a difference of Opinion—New Britain Herald. Senator Platt of Connecticut sug- gests delicately that “it might become necessary in the interest of commerce, for the United States to acquire terri- tory in Africa.” Mr. McKinley, brace up, Africa is nearly gOiic.—»—Springfield Republican. Expert statisticans estimate that the amount of money spent for Christmas toys by the American people this year will exceed $45,000,000. It is a happy and cheerful sort of country that can spend that amount in playthings for the children—New Haven Union. Just think of it. A Hartford plumb- er skipped his bail yesterday. Winter at that—Bridgeport Telegram. Not satisfied with trying to knock Santa Claus of]? his pedestal, some very learned persons want to banish Mother Goose’s stories,claiming them as false- hoods. After having accomplished this highly commendable job it would not be a bad idea if they tackle the mali- cious rumor that the moon is made of green cheese—New Haven Palladium. #——*"‘-'<I.~"D ..., A— No Right to Ugliness.

Wheeler, yes terday, and asked for a divorce from his wife, Sadie J. Crofut, of that city. The plaintifi based his request on the grounds of desertion. Mr. Crofut took the stand and told his story. After he had finished Judge Wheeler took him in hand and if ever a man had a bid half hour he did. His reply to some of the questions placed him in a bad light. He told the court that he had tried to, find his wife and had not been successful. The court asked him whether he found any trouble in findingher when it came to serving the divorce papers. Mr. Crofut had to hang his head and admit the force of the question. His Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen 'of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder- ful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says : “ I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumonia. My lungs became hard- ened. I was so weak I couldn’t even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of Consumption, when I heard of Dr. King’s New Dis- covery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it, and now am~ well and strong; I can’t say too much in its praise.” This marvellous medicine is the surest and quickest cure in the world for all Th roat and Lung trouble. Regular sizes 50 cents and $1.00. Trial bottles free at John A. Riggs’ Drug Store; 11 Main St.; every bottle guaran- teed. -—--v<~lo.o>— Girl’s Needlework Club. The Girls’ Needlework club held a session at the First Congregational church, this morning, and a merry time wascnjoyed. The girls were greatly surprised by a row of tables on which were a number of mysterious packages arranged in sizes according to the ages of the busy workers. The session was given up to the enjoyment of games, etc. and candy a id oranges were given to all. But what were more interesting were the packages on the mystery tables. The roll was called and each as her name was heard, passed to a table and selected a package which contained a beautiful present. ——-‘IOO>—s ‘Try Grain-'0! Try Grain-O!

Fill a bottle or common glaSs with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it orpain in the back is also con- vincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheuma- tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every par of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in pas‘sing it, or bad effects following use of liquor. wine or‘beer, and overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands the high- est for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medi- ITne you should have the best. At drug- gists fifty cents or one dollar. ' You may have a sample bottle and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail, if you send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham— ton, N. Y.
