THE WAY WE HAVE DONE IT IN FORMER YEARS. BUT 

 NOW NO MORE "FUN" -FOR DRUG STORES 



AND DOCTORS! 



ANTICIPATION— "BUSY." REALIZATION— "BEAUT! FUI ." 



Stamford is to have a "Safe and Sane Fourth" this year. 



Demand Ocular Demonstration. 



I recently took a company of boys 

 on a nature tour through Laddin's 

 Rock Farm. On our way there I told 

 them the legend of Laddin ; how it was 

 supposed that his cabin was burned, 

 and his wife and daughter were killed 

 by the tomahawk in his presence, and 

 that he, in desperation, mounted his 



horse and galloped off the precipice to 

 his death. The boys listened atten- 

 tively to the story and, when I arrived 

 at the climax, one little fellow, seven 

 years of age, who had been my most 

 attentive listener, exclaimed enthusias- 

 tically. "( )h let's go there first, and see 

 if we can find anv of the blood !"
