A Chat With an Ancient Citizen.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: We had chat to-day with an ancient citi- zen of whom we have before spoken in these columns, viz., MT. George W. Hicks, the oc' togenarian, town born A. D. 1907, now living on Whitney avenue near by where of yore stood stone inscribed ''One mile to New Haven" Edwards street stops just there, or begins. whichever way you may travel it.
 WOOSTER SQUARE RYE FIELD.
 Our chat was at his home and upon olden times. ssWhen was boy" said he, "what is now known as Wooster Square was called Squire Porter's lot, so named from the own er lawyer, who lived on the southwest cor ner of Chapel and Olive streets. The first rye ever saw growing was on that field. One day at harvest time on passing found it had been cut down and was lying in regu- lar rows, the heads all turned one way. Not understanding this, I inquired how it came about and was answered "They have cradled it." This was no solution of the mystery. I understood about moving; but the only kind of cradling had seen had been applied to ttinfants."
 NEW HAVEN GREEN A BILBERRY SWAMP. It was natural from this preliminary open ing to then, in our talk travel up town to what we respectfully term our public square, but what to old citizens seems more agreed bIe because homeIike-sthe Green ;' and so Mr. Hicks went on My grandmother, who died about the year 1918 aged nearly 90, told me that when she was girl the lower Green was bilberry swamp, and that she used to gather bilberries there. They were especially plenty near what is now the town pump. That must have been about the year 174O.
 Pleasant it is to think that 40 years ago, happy, innocent little boys and girls were on our lower Green gathering the round shining berries. Blessings on the children! What would life be without them? How often the aching heart is relieved by a wayside chat with the little ones. They will always re- spond and merrily even to the stranger If he but approach them in cheery tones For instance, today just before we saw MT. Hicks, four little girls were standing near house in the outskirts We paid our re- spects and soon got them in happy gleeful mood.
 SOMETHING FOR THE CHILDREN TO KNOW.
 Just then large gray cat appeared trotting across the road. "That cat, we said to the little ones, ':has black " over each eye. Every gray cat in New Haven has, tsWe have some gray kittens," then spoke up one of the little girls, have they got the sV' over their eyes?" "Oh. yes ir ssWhere are they?'' s'In the yard. y ''Run and sec" In dropped the little girls, and after brief absence the four returned all excitement with gray kitten, on whose fore head, to their great satisfaction, they had discovered the two ssV's, the two united making awell defined " Nov, t said .Ye

 As we concluded our twenty minutes chat with the octogenarian- much can be said in twenty minutes sometimes too much-he elevated his chin and looked up with pecu- liar shrinking sort of air, as though he was going to put question that he was fearful would shock our moral sensibilities. We knew what was coming-we had seen such things before-and it came. t'Do you ever do you ever take-do you ever take glass of wine ?'' Having faint recollection of such an event happening to us somewhere way back in the ages, our answer was in ac- cord with the solemnity of the occasion. Mrs. Hicks thereupon came forth with some wine of her good mans manufacture, he be- ing quite an adept in the vinous line. He has some over seven years old, which, strange as it may seem, 'fhas never been drank" He finds that the native wild grape makes the best wine, being far superior to the Catawba or any of the cultivated sorts. From ten bushels of wild grapes which he bought of farmers at $1 per bushel, he made four years since eighty gallons of excellent wine. and yet withal as mild and free from intoxi- eating qualities as 8 morning in June, which even an infant might safely imbibe and stand in no danger of being sent to an asy- ,urn for the reform of inebriates.

HECkER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Counters
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed- ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuiD than either the "RoyaI'' or the other cream tartar baking powders winch he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name. and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ica1ly expressed in it's favor is fully sustained,
