A Strange Man Who Has Been Frt&h hten-
 ing People in Chester.
 CHESTER, Mar 25.-The crazy man who has been causing no little excitement for the past week has not yet been identified. and he still con- tinues his freakish actions. About a week ago, when the steamer Hartford of the Hartford and New York line, reached Hadlyme, stranger, who had been boisterous during the trip, was put ashore. From his actions he was sup posed to be drunk and little notice was taken of him. After wandering aim- lessly about Hadlyme, he appeared in Joshuatown the following day and secured work with a farmer of that place. His actions were strange and the employer never knew what to expect next. The eliminating freak took the shape of promenade around the open fields in perfectly nude state. Complaints were at once entered with the authorities of this town and it was decided to send him back to Hartford. This was done Thursday evening. He was unable to give any account of him. self, not even being able to give his own name. He said he had mother named Mary Jane, who lived in Hartford, but aside from that he gave no clue to his identity. He was intelligent in con versation, about five feet and four inches in height, red hair and beard and light eyes. He was perfectly harmless and gave no trouble except by his freak ish actions.

 LOCAL physicians say that a throat trouble somewhat akin to the grip has been epidemic here for several weeks. 1t attacks the throat, removes the voice, develops into cold in the head, and in some cases gets into the lungs where it will stay unless firm measures are taken. According to physicians there is no danger if proper care be observed.
 A NEW joke has been introduced at card parties about town, and to those who are unfortunate enough to be de- feated in the contests, adds much to their discontinue. It is simply this When the unlucky ones have fallen be- hind a number of games they are asked if they wouldn't like something nice to drink, Of course thIs invitation is not often refused, but you may judge of their surprise when bottle of ketch-up is set in front of them. Those who don't tumble to this suggestive joke get the booby prize immediately.

 IT is g. pretty cute man that can get the better of a child when it comes to measuring wits with one on a matter in which the child is specially interested. This fact was illustrated by little inci- dent that recently happened in an East Main street family. The father had in his hands two coins, one a nickel and the other a quarter. For the purpose of testing his five year old daughter he passed the two rapidly from one hand to the other, and finally putting both hands behind him so that she could have no possible way of knowing which was which, he asked her which coin she would have, the one in the right hand or the one in the left. The little girl thought for a moment and then ex- claimed: "I'll take both of them, papa. ) If she did not get both, she ought to.
