Every business man is familiar with

the problem, and he will soon have

truly valuable inventions this one is
simplicity itself. The lock for the
new box has no tumblery, and is
therefore not liable to get ont Of or

marked two letters OF tile alphabet,
Suppose the combination to be set on
B and G. All you have 10 do is %
turn one Of the diaIs to B and the.
other to G and open your box. The
lock is capable of 8, 900 different cone
binatiens, and there is no possibility
of any one who bad previously enter
ed tlie box knowing the combination
used by his successor. While no one.
can open the box without knowing the
combination, an employee of the
Office can open it from the inside by
simply touching spring, thus obvi-,
atiDg any difficulty should therenter-
fail to set the combination properly.

and Ella Smith of fHuntingtown. II

Labouchere is as brilliant and enter
tanning in private life as he is in print.
The same quick perception, broad grasp
of ideas and cau>tic wit which glitter in
his paper enliven his conversation. Mr.
Labouchere is about middle height,
rather sparely built, and in his manner
he displays great nerve force without
being what we call ''nervous." His
hair is getting trife thin about the tenn
piles and his beard is growing gray, but
in vigor of thought and action he is as
young as ever. The day before [ first
lunched with him, he had moved the
abolition of the House of Lords and he
came within 20 odd votes of carrying his
point, too. Clear headed. audacious,
absolutely fearless and full of vim and
fire, he is recognized as the strongest
man in his party and leader of the
literary social set in London. He has
the very best people at his house, from
the Prince of Wales down and his recep-
tions are notable gatherings of brains
from every department of literature, art,
science and politics. Journalist.

The Great Furniture House at HaW-
leVVille.

We visited A. G. Bakers famous furn-
iture house at Hawleyville for the first
time. Mr. Bakers unique and readable
advertisements had prepared US to see
something unusually good and the glimp-
ses of the fine new furniture building
" Which we had obtained in passing Haw-
leyville on the cars had impressed US
very favorably; but we must admit that,
in spite of our high expectations, we were
most agreeably surprised when we enter
ed the store to find its arrangements and
contents far superior to our expectations.
The building itself is large and hand
some, with an ample wing extending
toward the south and it cannot fail to
catch the eye of the traveller at once. Mr.
Baker shrewdly says that the fact that
it is a fine building by itself in place,
where nothing fine is looked for,is great
fine buildings east of the railroad station,
his building would not be conspicuous as
it is now. There are four flag staffs on
the top of the building and from two of
them streamers were flying. A crimson
streamer bore the words, "a. 6. Baker,
Furniture" and blue streamer exposed
the work ''Furniture'' to our admiring
gaze.
But the interior of the structure far
surpasses its exterior in appearance. The
scene is brilliant, the spacious floors are
covered with an immense array of finely
,,orr;oboI and po1icbod furp;turo of arar,,
description and, above, are second floor
in the wing and wide galleries extending
around the main part of the structure.
Furniture of lighter kind covers the
second floor and a most delightful array
of fancy baskets fringes to large ex-
tent the edges OF the galleries. Mr. Baker
has displayed the finest taste and care in
selection of his furniture. The two most
noticeable features in his stock are its
great variety and its beauty. Every
thing in the most approved pattern can
be found in the esta blishment and the
display far surpasses much that we have
seen in metropolitan furniture stores.
The very oddity of opening such store
in so small a place as Hawleyville is a
big advertisement in itself; and, when
the patronage which Mr. Baker COM
mands and at no distant day will COM
mand is understood, his shrewdness in
selecting such spot for business is ap-
preciated. Four railroads cross at Haw-
leyville and travellers from all sections
and travelling in all directions are fire.
quently compelled to wait an hour or
two at Hawleyville. The station is not
attractive and time passes duly there.
The travellers naturally seek Bakers
furniture store for recreation and they
find it. They first examine in a careless
way and then they buy. for there is
something there to please every taste.
They can also entertain themselves in
the fine reading room which occupies the
west gallery facing the station. It is
tastefully fitted up and the best periodi-
calls and papers are provided; one can sit
in an easy chair by warm fire and pass
the time in this little room most agree
ably. The fame of Mr. Bakers unique
furniture house Is destined to spread and
we trust he will obtain much patronage
for miles around. from south. north,
east and west. New Milford Gazette.

THANKSGIVING

Has come and gone. The Governors
of the States and the President of the
United States issued the usual proc
lamations, telling us in general way
how much we have cause to be thank
full for, but none of them particulariz-
ed to any great extent; now it seems
eminently proper that a few of the
causes for a general Thanksgiving,
this year above all others, be mention
ed.
1st, War with Italy has been happily
averted.
I'd, What was last year sand lotand
desert waste at Hawleyville is now
covered with building containing
one of the choicest selections of furni-
ture to be found in the kingdom.
Sd, The President, his cabinet, Baby
Mckee, Jay Gould and Sara Beruhardt
have all, thus far, escaped the ravages
of small pox, the measles, and reduced
salaries.
4th, The familiar and care worn face of Mrs
Lydia Pinkham and the bald head of W L Doug
lass have been superseded in a number of
papers by brand new advertisement of pat
ent bug exterminator.
9Th, Regular $40 roll top office desks are now
sold by Baker for $50 to S35 and economy in
high places encouraged by our three good Gov
ernors expressing willingness to sit in one
chair
9th, Unpleasant complications with Chilli now
seem in fair way Of settlement and good extern
sion tables are shipped in all directions from
Hawleyville at 81 90 each
7th, A protracted session of our Legislature,
wherein not single obnoxious law was passed
eth, A public reading room in Baker IS furniture
emporium at HawleyvilIe. where weary travellers
may, with comfort, while away the waiting hours
between trains.
9th Full enjoyment of religious liberties and
the rights of citizenship.
10th, The power Of the press, which never be-
fore exerted such an influence in the land, par
ticularly in granger districts during the late
great vinegar" harvest.
11th, That Bakers advertisements are no
longer than quarter column and are only in
hicted once week.
12th, That, ,--that,-wsll this is all We have
room to enumerate and this is enough for one
Thanksgiving.
