Or How The Connecticut Western
 News Gives it's Subscribers Value
 Received for their Money.
 All our old subscribers understand that we endeavor to make The News ftsef worth the subscription price.
 They furthermore know that we can not directly club The News with other papers and periodicals without robhing The News of the time which legitimate ly belongs to 1t and which is essential to make an interesting paper, yet through Eglestons subscription agencyThe News is clubbed with every desirable periodi- cal published, for 1t will readily be seen that it is easier to keep an account of 5000 items with one subscription agency than to record one item with 5000 different publishers.
 Thus while we do not directly club with other publications we do indirectly give our subscribers an opportunity, through Egleston's subscription agency, to club The News with 5000 or more periodicals.
 MT Eglestons advertisement, 'sChoice Reading at Club Rates" in another col umn enumerates only a fraction of the periodicals that may be clubbed with The News

 The little people in South Canaan celebrated Xmas eve with appropriate exercises in recitat1ons and singing and afterwards received their Xmas gifts. Scholars and teachers were generally remembered, and "Our Superinten- dent" and s'Our Pastor" were not for gotten. Hall, Hornbeck X Go. donated a handsome chair to the Rev. Mir. Moore. The superintendent, MT H. P. Morse, labored indefatigably to give the children pleasant evening, assisted by his wife and a score of efficient workers, both ladies and gentlemen. One gentleman gave hberally, that aH the children outside the regular attend ants at the Sunday school might be re- membered. Henry Whitford gave the address of welcome Emma Howe and E.ldie Bradley had appropriate recita- tions, Eldle Bradley being recalled to repeat his Xmas boundaries. Susie Sturges and Miles Dean gave utterance to their wishes for a dollie, sled, skates, etc, and were much applauded. The primary class. under the charge of Miss Hattie Willard, did remarkably we'll, the Banner Exercise" and the Army of the Children" being much admired. Ernest Boydston gave an account of the widow Grey's poverty and the plan of the boys to provide for her wants, and she returned grateful thanks for their assistance. The singing was appropri- | ate to the occasion, the farewell to the ola year being very sweetly rendered. The church was ta>tefully decorated
 with evergreens. The audience was large though many were kept away by the unpleasant weather The singing of "Christmas Welcome" to the old war tune of Tramp, boys, tramp" reused a good deal of enthusiasm in the child
 ren and the audience. Oliv Wilcox

THE DRINKING MECHANIC

The greatest enemy Of skilled la
Dor is drink. There are some mer
who seem possessed with the idea
that drunkenness should go hand in
hand with excessive use of whiskey
There are mechanics who like tc
get drunk on Saturday and lay of
on Monday to get over their spree
They like to have it known that
they are so much more skillful
than their fellow workmeD, that no
matter how much time they lose
their employer cannot afford to dis
charge them. They glory in this
idea, Presently they have an idea
that they can get drunk twice a
week with impunity, and presently
the habit grows upon them until
they are oftener drunk than sober
and then they are notified to leaye.
For few years the talk is: He
is the finest workman at his trade
in the city, that is when he's not in
l1quor." But other men have been
found to take their places who are
sober, and so the drunken mechanic
who once gloried in the idea that
drunk or sober his place was secure,
becomes a miserable sot and burden
to the community
Nevada has good many men
who thought that their skill in this
or that branch of work, was beyond
the reach Of whiskey effect, who
are now not wanted even to dig a
post hole.
In Eastern manufactures the
plan is being generally adopted, of
employing none but sober men.
One case of drunkenness looses the
best workman his place. Every
employer has the undivided right
to the full benefit Of man s sober
faculties as long as he pays him
wages for work.
