OBITUARY.
Death Of George A. Watkfnson and
 Hemrv PImrn h.

George A. Watkinson, the half-back of the Yale football team for two years past, died just before midnight last night at the
 home of his father on Dwight Place. The
 deceased was taken i'll shortly after the
 Thanksgiving game at Princeton with typho-
 malarial fever, which soon developed severe form and went to the brain. The game at Princeton was played during driving storm, and the young man, who was one of the main stays of the Yale team, excited himself with much violence and contracted severe cold in the exposure. He was entirely un- conscious for the last few days. The death of MT. Watkinson will be severe blow to his companions in Yale college with whom he was strong favorite, and he will be sadly missed not alone by those who admired his prowess in athletics, but by the whole college to whom he was endeared for his genial, sunny nature. He was noted as the most skillful kicker and most scientific half-back ever con- nected with 8 Yale team, and in other branches of athletics held also prominent place. He was the pitcher of last years freshman nine. He graduated from the Hopkins Grammar school in the class of '84 WILL uOuOIb ana euC610O ! al0 CldSS OI SU. u6 was a member of the D K. E.. society of Yale. Drs. Ives and Sanford were at his bedside at the time of his death, besides all the members of the Watkinson family. De- ceased was twenty-two years of age. He at tended the Dwight Place church. He was son of George Watkinson, of the L. Candee rubber company.
 MIR. HENRY PLUMB.
 MT. Henry Plumb, the Chapel street mer- chant, died at his residence, 1,157 Chapel street, this morning shortly after 1 o'clock. His condition within the past few days was such as to afford but faint hope for his re- covery. His disease was a complication of typhoid pneumonia and kidney complaint.
 MT. Plumb was in business on Chapel street for thirty years more, engaging in business few years after coming to this city from Milford, his native place, where he lived until about the age of eighteen. His father died few years ago, his mother dying 8 little earlier. MT. Plumb's first experience in the dry goods business was as clerk in Mygatt's store where Bright's crockery store now is. He was afterwards in a store in Richmond, Va. His first store was about where Umberfeld's store now is. He had been located in his present store about twenty years. For about three years past MT. Plumb and his brother-in-law, MT. Dickerman, had a fancy goods store in Hartford.

Gilhooly'S Friend.

Gilhooly. intending to borrow s.
from Hostetter McGinnis, leads up to
the subject by talking about friendship.
Among other things he said:
Solomon says, He who has friend
has found treasure.
McGinnis, who is no fool, perceives
what Glhooly is after and heads him off
by replying:
II think Solomon got that proverb
upside down. Instead of reading, He
who has friend finds treasure, it
should be, He who finds a treasure has
a friend. There is no friend like money.
1t is mans best friend, and he should
never part with his best friend"
Gilhooly. perceiving that he is whist
ling up the wrong tube, moves off to
explore some more promising field

The Newest French.


But if they object to everything else
new, the French do not object to new
word. They make new word every
few days. Their last word is .'co-
puchic," French for dude. The CO.
puchic is the dandy, the swell of the
period; he has always been great per-
son, since the days of Charles TX and
Henry Trois. Since Beau Brummell
in England. Pelham, copuchic is the
latest cry of the "Jeunesse Franchise. "
1t is a triumphant successor to be-
carre, which was dude last winter. Be-
carre disappeared suddenly and CO.
puchic came in. There is now cafe
copuchic. He is the latest incarnation
of fashion. The etymology of this,
'pur ct chic" and CO is put in for
euphony.
Thus it expresses absolute perfection
in dress, manners and speech. At the
seaside the copuchic was always in
white and blue flannel with an Ameri-
can straw hat. This hat is not proper
except with white flannel trousers,
turned up about the ankles. No Co
puchic who respects himself would be
seen at the seashore with his panta-
looms turned down. In Paris he is, of
course, the swell of the Champs Ely
sees. He is very patriotic Thus we
have the Spanish copuchic the English,
the American, the French and
the German variety. They all are
alike, however, in their difficulty
of utterance. They speak very slowly
and are very much bored. The su-
preme distinction is to drawl their sem
fences, speaking with a Slightly ironical
intonation-a lOnversation between
copuchics of different sexes, endure a
long time without either having said
anything; they open their lips with
great effort only. They both must
have the air of being greatly gratified,
and the birth of an idea, gives each
equal pain. 1t is hard hole for viva
cious French people to play, but they
are great actors, and they like to be "a
la mode"-so they are getting to do it
very well, considering. Meantime in
troduce the word copuchic into our
language it is better than dude"
Itsounds like the name OF Merov-
ingian King, who, judging from their
jewelry in the Hotel Cluny, must have
been great dudes. 1t is a triumphant
new word and worthy of the great
French nation!
Another name, rather poetic, is

amorpheus creatures who call ones

soirees. They are tall, debilitated.

But where in Paris and by whose

A Mans Mother.in-Law.

1t is a mystery which no one has YET
solved, why so many sad jokes are con.
stantly being perpetrated about a
mans mother-in-law. What dread.
full crime has the unfortunate woman
committed in providing the man with
his wife that he should bear such an
undying Crude against her?
Now if it was q to0nldl.'s mother-n.
law who was made the butt of these
jokes there might be grain of sense
in them; for it is the mans mother
who has it in her power to make life Il
burden to the young wife and not hall
try.
As matter of fact woman is usu-
ally proud and fond of her son-in-l law
if he only gives her the ghost of q
chance.
When the young couple first go to
housekeeping who is it that comes in
and with her good sense and practical
experience tides them over the rough
placesp
A man mother-in-law.
II is the woman's mother-in-law who
is most apt to criticise, and who exas-
perates the young wife by quoting, all
too freqently, my son is used to having
things thus and so.' my son must
have this or that for his meals" my
son, with his small income, should
have married prudent, economical
woman" etc.
When the first baby makes its ap-
pearance, as well as the successive
ones, who is it that steps in and re-
lieves the husband of his weary vigils,
and takes the load of care and worry
of the wife's feeble shoulders, and
keeps the household machinery rum
ming smoothly?
The mans mother-in-law.
When he and his wife plan to take a
little trip together, who is it comes in
and takes charge of the house and the
children, so that they can peacefully
enjoy their holiday, with the restful
tnought, mother Is there and it will
be all right?"
The mans mother-in-law.
When there is sickness or trouble in
the house, who is the faithful nurse,
the wise counselor, the sympathizine
friend?
The mans mother-in- law
And if, in the course of events, the
wife dies who is it that usually comes
in and takes care of the children, and
keeps up the home till the bereaved
husband has time to look around and
find another wife?
A mans mother-in-law.
And how does he reward her for all
this devotion?
BY making heartless jokes at her ex-
pense, and publishing them for other
men to smoker over!

Hints About Horses.

Prairie Farmer.
The secret of giving the hair Of a horse a
smooth, glossy appearance, depends largely
on frequent and thorough grooming during
and Just before the moultng or shedding"
season. Good shelter and feed are also essen
tial items in securing the result. Condition
powders" are of more than doubtful value for
this purpose. 1t is well to allow colts and
horses rot at work the range OF the pasture
fields, except on stormy days, until snow
covers the ground. They may not secure
much forage from the fields, but the pure air
and exercise are much better than combining
them to the stable all day. In most cases it
will be found that colt can be broken to
harness more easily than to a saddle. In nine
cases out Of ten, If hitched by the side Of q
steady, reliable horse, little trouble is expert
enced, while If 1t is attempted to ride the ami
NAL first, the chances are that "breaking the
colp' will be serious task.
