Uncle Horace Hopes. Unicle Hotace Johnson of Middle ‘Haddam issucd his December weather prediction on the 3d, and this is it: “From the 3d to the 5th there will be a local disturbance of little note, From the 10th to the 14th there will be a ¥ ugo,'or whenever it was, one of the kings of Judah, took a chest, as the rmrdfi rea bored a hole in the 1d of mg' ;:?t'h e the altar, and there received %thc jnoney that the fiaplo brought Inta the.house of the rd.” This is the first contribution box of which we can just now think, and the people of the Forty-ninth Ave- nue Methodist church, in Chicago, bave wdopted the “Joash chest” as a means of raising money for religious uses. The men of the’ congregation are' to give up cigars for a month, to stop buying gloves, and the women are to cut out buns from the morning meal, to walk instead of ride on the street cars, and to saye the money by these and various other econbmies to place it in the chest. ‘The scheme worked very weil the other day, when $500 was de- posited in the ‘Jogsh chest.” We should be surprised, however, if a searching examination would not disclose the fa;f ' that the men of this congregation ame not spending as'much money for cigars now as they did formerly, but the r sult has so far been very encouraging and the “Joash chest” ought to be adopted generally in all the religio congregations throughout the countr —Charleston -News -and Courler. general disturbance; winter will be upon us. I hope we may have rain. ‘Water i very scarce for the season.” Uncle Horace is . with his prophecy to an unwonted de- gree. Posal{fly there were local dis- turbances 3d to the 5th, but they must have been intensely local—no town outside of Haddam had 'em, but that may be no fault of Uncle Horace's. It it bring the 14th, it may come. the water -supply once again. that's what we need, more than kite- ying weather. The most significant feature of Un4 cle Horace’s “prediction” is this: “T hope we may hdve rain” A rational and seasonable hope, truly, but hope jsn't propehcy. The shortest sighted of us may hope for rain, but may not be able to foresee or foretell it. And if Uncle Horace is goning to change tead of weather signals, we may as well stick to the goosebone. Never- | theless, with Uncle Horace, we also hope we may have rain, and have it good and plenty.—Hartford Post. A Difference in Backing. Whoever it was who circulated the Britannia Rules the Wave.

Gould Brokaw, thé millionaire yachtsman, was acecustomed to apply to his wife, according to her testimony im court today. Mrs. Brokaw, who was Mary Blair, is suing her husband for -sep- aration and alimony of $60,000 a year on grounds of abusive and cruel treat- ment and failure to provide for her support. The Brokaws were married in 1907. 4 Madly Jealous for No Reason. “We will show,” said her counsel in addressing the court today, “that abuse of the bride began two hours after the marriage ceremony. Brokaw was madly jealous for no reason. He often forced his wife to eat alone and to keep her room for the entire day. During the honeymoon they ate only four meals together. Ile broke into her room at all hours and on one oc- casion, when the door was slammed in his face, smeared red ink on his fore- head and ran around the hallway in his pajamas, erying and complaining to the hallboys. He was habitually in- toxicated and frequently used abusive language.” Called Her Names Not Fit to Print. Mrs, Brokaw was the chief witness today. She testified that her husband was jealous of her brothers and that he accused her of flirting with his un- cle, his nephew and his doctor. “What were some of the names that Mr. Brokaw called you when you de- nied his oharges?” asked counsel. The witness hesitated for a moment and finally wrote her reply on a sheet of paper, whlcg was not read. Humiliated on New Year’s Eve. On New Year's ‘eve, 1907, occurred an incident, Mrs. Brokaw testified, which caused her much humiliation. It had been her husband’s custom, she sald. to serve her at dinner with ginger ale poured from a champagng bottle, while he and his guests drank champagne. By mistake the butler gave hey re wine and not the substitute. When sl raised the glass her husgband became furious, she said, and ordered her he- fore her guests to go to her room.

Prominent Factors in Ohio Politics | Gather at White House as Pcrnonali Guests of the President. ‘Washington, Dec. 8.—An interesting gathering of prominent factors in Ohio politics as the personal guests of the president at the White House today set political watchers to gossiping at a lively rate, although none of those directly ‘interested would admit that their coming together at the White House had any significance whatso- ever. TFormer Governor Herrick of Ohio and Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, the president’s brother, are stopping at the White House. This in itself was sufficient to indicate to many that politics might have at least & small place in their discussions with the president. When Arthur I. Vorys went to the White House for luncheon with the others and remained there in con- | ference until late in the afternoon it was immediately assumed that Ohio political affairs of an important nature were surely being considered. . P. Taft sald, however, visit was but one of many he hoped to pay to his big brother during the lat- ter's term of office. Governor Herrick vowed that hig yisit was of a purely personal character, and Mr. Vorys fur- ther explained that until he arrived here he did not know that either Mr. | Taft or Governor Herrick was in the city. His invitation to luncheon, he | said, dated only from the moment early today when he asked an audience of the president. Mr. Vorys was Presi- dent Taft's chief of staff during the campaign of last fall. He was for several months in charge, of the cam- paign in Ohlo, and at one time it was rumored that he was to become na- tional chairman of the party. Gossip as to today's conference turn- ed largely upon the possibility or go- ing over available material in Ohio for a candidate to oppose Governor Harmon for the governorship next fall. It is supposed here to be taken for granted by the republican leaders in Ohio that Governor Harmon will be re- nominated and it is alse conceded by them that if he should be elected for al second term he will be a formidable | that his factor in the presidential race in 1912, The Ohlo leagders even regardless of the | presidential campaign Jdo not relish the idea of losing the governorship to the democrats twice in succession, and are anxious that the strongest possible man shall be put up against Governor Harmon next fall.

It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is Harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Zhird—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health. o ——— Letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed to Chas.

Leister, of Rogers, Ark., says : * As a practicing phy- sician I use Castoria and like it very much.” Dr. W. T. Seeley, of Amity, H. Y., says : “I have used your Cas- toria for several sears in my practice and kave found it a safe and »eliable remedy.” Or. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal., says : *““After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly to have an ignorant druggist substitute some- thing else, esbecially to the pa- tient’s disadvantage, asin this case. 1 enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says : * Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepa- rations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. . I prescribe your Castoria in my practice be- cause I have found it to be a thor- oughly reliable remedy for chil- dren’s complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, ‘will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria.” Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. H., says: “T use your Castoria in my practice. and in my family.” Or. Wm., 1. MeCann of Omaba, Neb., says : * As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know something about your great medi- cine and aside from my own family experience, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a pdmlnr and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. Howard James, of New York, City, says : “ It is with great pleas- ure that I desire to testify to the medicinal virtue of your Castoria. I have used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from its administration to other children in my practice.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa., says : ““The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chica- go, 111, says : “I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants auring my practice and find it very satisfactory.” Dr. William Belmont, of Cleve- land, Ohio, says : “ Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says ¢ T prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren's troubles, I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but 1 always see that my patients get Fletcher's.” Dr. Channing H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo., says: “I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is & great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of thjs character are obnox- ious and fore difficult of ad- ministration. As a laxative /I consider it the peer of anything chat I ever prescribed.” Dr. L. O. Morgan, of So. Amboy, N.J. says: “I prescribe your Casto- ria every day for children who are suffering from constipation, with betger effect than I receive from any other combination of drugs.” Dr. H. J. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: ‘I have used your Casto- ria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and priv- ate practice for many years. The formula is excellent.” Dr. Wm, L. Bosserman, of Buf- falo, N. Y., says: “I am pleased to speak a good word for your Casto- ria. I think so highly of it that L not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family.” Dr. F. H.
