SHELTON.

With characteristic energy, Deputy
Sheriff Horace Wheeler did not wait for
the embers of the big fire to die out be-
fore securing new quarters for his groc-
cry business in the Grove building, now
owned by the railroad, where w. b. Roe
once kept grocery store.
j. b. Underwood, president of the
Housatonic brass company, whose fac
tory was burned, last week, is father OF
Reporter A. b. Underwood, formerly of
the Bridgeport Farmer, now of the
Standard.
Much praise is bestowed upon Horace
Wheeler for the manner in which he sac
riticed his own property to save that OF
others. Being chief engineer of the de-
partment, he had the power to direct the
efforts of the firemen toward saving his
own property, but that seemed to be the
last thing he thought of. 1t was hard
place to put man in where he was inter-
ested to the extent of thousands OF dol
lars and few would have been so self sac
rificing. Transcript.

Give the Bows a Show.

Too much is exacted from farmers
sons before they are 2l. They are ex-
pected to put in as much time and work
as hired man, without his pay. The
fathers have been at the expense of
bringing up, clothing and schooling their
sons, but this kind of treatment does not
pay and many men have found it out too
late, after their boys have skipped to
fairer elimes.'' Give'the boys a show.
Let them have an acre of ground for
their own use, to raise what they like
aud pocket the profits. Or, if they take
an interest in horses or other live stock,
encourage them by giving them an own
ership in some coveted animal. They
will take hold with all the more enthusi-
assn in the general farm work, and there
will be less grumbling. Give them hol-
iday occasionally. They will appreciate
it every time. If there are two or more
boys in the family, treat them impartial
ly. | remember there were three of us
on the farm, the eldest boy being in
charge of the work. At the close of hay
ing, our parents gave the last vacation
of two weeks and pay for his work. But
the two younger toilers got neither yaca-
ton nor pay. We stayed at home and
grubbed along in the old ruts and were
permitted, after much teasing,to attend q
county fair. If farmers would treat theil
boys more considerably when young
| they would be more contented and less
inclined to skip when they reach then
