CANNOT AFFORD TO LEAVE US.
 The New York Times calls attention to one branch of the pension business which has not been much noticed. Although three-quarters of a century have passed since the close of the last war with Great Britain, there were at the recent official count more than 5000 pensioners of that war on the rolls. Most of these, of course, were widows, but there were also 413 sur viving soldiers and sailors; and the pre- sumption is that there will be proportion ally as many more Union pension CTS, including veterans and widows, on the list in 1940, as the troops in the civil war outnumbered those are still on the rolls Revolutionary pen sioners, since some of our patriotic ances- tors in their declining years married girls not out of their teens. The last congress added two Revolutionary pensioners to the list, and at the session just closed a bill was introduced, giving pension to the daughter of Revolutionary soldier. Accordingly, pensions based upon the civil war may be, hourishing well along toward the year 2,0O0.
 Few die and none resign. There are now about 550, ,000 names on the pension roll. Perhaps there will be a million be- fore the limit is reached. Then, of course, they will all hang on as long as they can.

and sold hats in such quantities as to
warrant him In increasing his force and
telling his helpers that he would have
work for them for several weeks, as or

saying that he would make flying trip
to New York, return to Hawleyville on
an afternoon train and be 1T home at

Danbury informed the New York police

inviting in quality or variety and the
guests were served with Astounding will

Meigs Co.

The approaching holidays remind old and
young of presents for old Santa Claus and
there is growing sentiment in favor of
making these presents useful, instead of a
merely momentary fancy to be gorged to-day
or broken tomorrow. What more useful or
comfortable present than some article of
wearing apparel and what more central place
or where more polite and gentlemanly
service than that which Manager Bell ensures
for all visitors OF Meigs & Co. at the corner of
Main and Bank streets, Bridgeport? Whether
it be an overcoat for protection from VIM
ter's icy blasts; a suit for business, street or
full dress; such gents furnishings as shirts,
collars, neckwcar or gloves; hats or caps
to protect the head, or thousand and one arti-
cles that make up such mammoth establish
ment as Meigs s Co., pause to admire, select
and purchase. The variety is sufficient, the
quality first class and the supply unlimited
enough for old Santa himself. Merry Christ
mas is in the air and it needs the appropriate
weather to crowd this mart with red checked
and rosy friends of father, brother, friend In
search with keen eyes for that appropriate
present.

Another accident occurred on the New

freight trains were running west on unu-
sually short Roadway. The leading train
stopped at the coaling station for sup
plies, several Of the cars remaining on
the high bridge across the Housatonic

lack OF time, the rear of this train was
not properly protected and the fiagman

The first 'prize night of the Clover
club was on last Friday evening, and
proved of more than usual interest. The
scores during the month had been very
close and the finish was quite exciting
indeed, the last evenings play changed
the positions of the leaders considerably.
The club has adopted a new plan, this
Winter, of holding their meetings at one
place and, through the courtesy of Mr.
Leonard, the Annex has been at their dis
posal as a club house. 1t is central for
the members and, with the numerous &C
commodations that it enjoys, is proving
a great success. The winner of the Ia
dies first prize, silver bon bon basket,
was Miss Hattie Glover and E. Penning-
ton Cliff carried off gold scarf pin as a
reward of merit. Miss Jennie Curtis was
unavoidably absent, but Fred gracefully
received the ladies' consolation prize.
For failing to observe the ''trump signal''
at critical points and through his propen-
sity for ''finessing," R.H. Beers received
a prize specially imported for the occas-
ion. Refreshments were served and en-
joyed and the meeting adjourned, until
this evening, well satisfied that the Clov-
er club is a source of much enjoyment.
The club numbers among its lady men,
bers several artists and the score cards
bear witness to artistic merit, in the way
of appropriate clover designs. The COM
mites on cards for last month were
Misses M. f. Linsley and TAME Sanford,
Julia Dikeman and Hattie Nichols.

thanks from l.. S. Catlin acknowledging
its receipt. The next thing on the pro-
gram Is a gold watch on January 10. A
good way to secure one of the seven pres
ents that remain is to buy pair of holt
day slippers. The stock carried by Mr.
Ayres is the largest and most complete
in the city and comprises all Of the latest
designs, everything that is in the least de-
sirable. They certainly make very
handsome display. That Mr. Ayres be-
lieves his goods will bear inspection is
| shown by the fact that he has the differ
ent styles arranged upon a rack at the
rear Of his store, directly under a sky
light, thus showing them up under a very
strong light. His prices, as well as slip
pers, will stand the closest and most
minute inspection and comparison with
others.
