BROTHER BAILEY "SoLD."

Some one served up big flake on the Danbury News. It was "mys- tery.' To use it's own words: ''On Sat- urday afternoon several men were pass ing Taunton Lake when they saw a horse and carriage hitched to l, tree in the woods at the side of the road. There was no one in the carriage and the horse had the appearance of having been there several days. A derby hat with the crown stove in was found near the team. There is no clue to the owner ship of the team or to the missing driver. The woods are being searched. It is be- lieved suicide has been committed. tThe same mystery" was town talk about mysterious suicide at Sandy Hook, started by the finding of a stray horse there.

HATTERToWN.
THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL.

A large number were present at the Christmas entertainment at the school house, last week Saturday evening, most of them from the immediate neighbor- hood, the extreme cold weather prevent ing many living at q distance (and who otherwise would have been there) from coming. The ladies of the school had prepared a very interesting program, every part of which was carried out we'll, especially as the children were drilled but little. Most of the recitations elicit ed much applause. Those taking part were Misses Mary Patchen, Hattie C.. Fischer, Annie Benedict, Edna Booth, Nellie Johnson, Lydia Benedict, Etta Platt, Frances Platt and Masters Charles Morgan, Harry Morgan, Louie Booth, Richard Booth, Freddie Pratt, Lester Patchen, Harry Perkins, Frank Perkins and Nina Perkins. The musical part of the program formed an important part of the ntertainmcnt and was much enjoyed by everyone. The selections were very pretty and appropriate and were well rendered. Leading parts were taken by Mrs Eugene No1throp, organi>t; Miss Sophia Booth, Mrs Charles Schnffer, Mrs C. D. Stillson, Mrs Henry Pratt, Miss Nettie Benedict and Edwin Booth A pretty duet by Miss Matte C. Fischer and Richard Booth was well rendered. Miss Fischer has 2 very fine, clear and strong voice, that promises with proper cultivation to develop into something above the ordinary. The school is in debted to Edwin Booth for the tree. The nperintendent, Miss Sophia Booth, un- der the guise of questions to attract their attention, told the children some impor- tant truths, how we owed the many gifts we have received to Gods goodness and mercy and that at the glad Christmas time nothing would please him more than to have them present their hearts to Him -a Christmas gift to God. It was a touching and beautiful thought. After the exercises the gifts were distributed by two young men of the school. Miss Booth was presented with beautiful
  en of it's appreciation Of her services. She is an earnest worker in the good cause and the school owes much of it's success to her efforts to promote it's growth. God grant that the Hattertown Sunday school may be even a greater power for good in the future than in the past.-[P.

TAUNToN's CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL.

The Taunton chapel was bright with Christmas cheer on Monday night, the occasion of the annual Christmas enter tainment of the Sunday school. The chapel was most tastefully adorned with Christmas greens, while a large tree completely covered the platform, back of which on the wall were the words, 'Merry Christmas" The audience promptly filled the house, and apparent ly entered into the spirit of the program. Superintendent Arthur D. Fairchild presided and briefly welcomed the strangers present, saying there was still room in the Sunday school for new pupils. The musical program, prepar- ed under the direction of J. B. Fairchild. was especially spirited and inspiring, and went far toward making the affair a success. Rev Mir Delzell offered the opening prayer and brief addresses were made by Allison P. Smith and Rev MT Delzell. The former pronounced it an ideal Christmas festival and paid a compliment to the Christian workers of Taunton, closing with few remarks in harmony with the spirit of the celebra- tion. The children did themselves cred it in the recitations. The distribution of gifts from the tree was feature the children enjoyed. Frankie Briscoe and Sadie Maynard were awarded prizes for regular attendance. Rev MT Delzell was remembered with a purse of S20, while J. T. Lancaster, the retiring super intendent, was remembered with a cash present. The program in detail was as follows:

You Know They Said When We Started The Furniture
 Business

At UawlcyVille that we were "Non Con- couldn't sell furniture at Hawleyville any more than we could fly" and might well soak our head and lie down and die first bright and cheely things. We did soak our head quite frequently about that time but didn't d1e because it was very unreasonable time Of year, and our pastor shook his head and said we "wasn't ripe" and said "the reap CT was worthy of his hire' or something ot that kind and of course we hadn't anything to pay reaper with at that time (we had just been building you will remember). We hay : been struggling along in a down cast, sad eyed drOOp cared, hand to mouth kind of way ever since, securing one square meal now and then, here and there, waiting for some tnlng to turn up to help us out. Ot course we asylums and smoking good segars but you tor gathering smolderinS stunlpS in transit Why, only the other day, Governor Elect Morris passed through Hawleyville and left real bangup genuina democratic campaign segar, not half smoked. Well. as we remark ed, we have struggled along, our hopes Of late based on astronomical calculations as to whether we could "hold the fort" until the new comet struck the earth and opened mp new field tor the furniture business, or the slang singers would say, 'waitng tor some thing to drop" But now after this long and tedious wait, this cowardly, disreputable CT way at the rate ot a 100000 miles q day This beats our time by several multiples and there's no use trying to catch it, not a bit, so all there is left for to do is to keep right on trying to sell furniture on earth, and right here, at this little outOf-the' way place Of HawfeyVille, too. I tell you friends, this is tough, very, and in the language ot the elder Washington, when George cut the pet cherry tree, "If you have tears to shed, prepare to shed them now" We need your sympathy, we need your patronage, we need your tears. We have store crowded tuli ot furniture from top to bottom. Some of it is so neat and artistic in design that 1 know you will join with us in declaring it almost too pretty for earth, yet it looks now as though we had got to sell it all here. Of course, we can see now that we bnsed Our calculations too high, yet according to later astronomical computation by several million miles. With no comet sales, we have big stock for this ''liite ball" We put in a tremendous holiday stock ana we have over 100 different patterns Ot fancy bask cts. What a sad state Ot affairs with the com ct fast going the other way and no other field
 sight. II you need no furniture, just step into our reading room while waiting for the train, read the morning papers and drop sympathiZing tear in the little vial placed on inc table tor that DurpoSp.

4 WORD TO THE GIRLS.

Young girls, wait until you are at
least twenty five before you think of
marrying! All tastes change between
the ages of sixteen and thirty. The
books you read, the games you njoy,
the milliners you trust to, the friend
ships you cultivate, all are changing;
why should not the tastes and fancies
of the world? The age that feeds
A upon Mrs. Southworth and Mrs. Holm
es is vastly unlike the age that demands
stronger mental food. The hero you
are ready to worship at eighteen Will
not be a hero to you, ten chances to
1 one, at twenty eight. Wait until your
tastes settle and the possibilities with
in you have found their level before
you fix upon an unalterable destiny
For, tell you, whether it bring sOr
row or Joy, the choice you make is an
irrevocable one. The moon may go
back and be a crescent ere the first
quarter is reached, the rose re-enfold
itself within the calyx of the bud, or
the sultry noon renew the freshness
VI QdW UllS CHCIOO VI UllO
day is spanned with greater ease than
a woman can resume the Hghtness of
her maiden fancies after the die
of her welded lot is cast. There
ought to be special legislation against
hasty and early marriages, for, al
though 1 am willing to grant that
there are signal exceptions to the rule
l think 1 am safe in saying that three
fifths of the exceedingly early unions
turn out curse to either or both of
the mated ones. There is love, like
Romeo's vows and Juliet's passion,
that flowers in sunburst and con-
sumes like a moths wings in the
flame; and there is another love
that orbs as the morn does, slowly
and silently, in the infinite calm Of
heaven. Which will you have? The
power to choose is yours.

KEEP YOUR FEET DRY.

The dispensarieS were crowded yes
terdav with women and children who
Had caught cold. The doctors had all
sbrts and degrees of rheum to attend
Ia. from the smiling, wheeling small
Gov to the coughing and straining old
man One OF the physicians said to a
Exporter:
eff these people would only have
Sense enough to keep their feet dry
they would be all right. tell you wet
feet fill more graveyards than an cpl
demic of cholera. All the children that
tame in here to-day with swollen eyes
ind heads stopped up had wet feet.
Its the same way with men. You
would think that an intelligent bust
hess man would know enough to care
Tor himself, but he don't. The average
New Yorker goes down town and
cramps around in the wet until his
feet are cold and damp. He gets into
perspiration and goes back to his
office, where he takes off his coat and
sits in his shirt sleeves. There is not
Rn office in this city where there is
hot draught, and that man will find
that draught and sit in it. Then he
sneezes a few times and says, I will
catch cold if 1 sit this way any longer
He does not appreciate the fact that
be has caught cold already.
''When he goes home, instead Of
putting on dry socks and warm slip
pers he takes a drink of hot whiskey.
Now what connection is there between
hot whiskey and a cold in the head?
None. He gets into another perspir-
alton, and the chances are that he will
catch more cold.
''With the women it is the same
way. Take the young girl you see
tramping about in the mud of Fifth
avenue and Broadway. Nine out of
ten have got on low shoes. Is it sur
prising that they have colds? They
have not had time to lay in their win
ter stock of foot wear, or else they
think their feet look better in low
shoes, and they wear them until the
snow falls. But it is Of no use talking.
As long as the earth turns on its axis
people will have colds."-N. Y. Sun.
