BURGLARS VISIT MR KIssAMs HOUSE.

D. W. Nissan and daughters returned from a visit to Chicago and the Worlds fair. last Saturday. When Mir Nissan visited his Bridgeport residence on Mon- day, he found that, during his absence, thieves had broken into the house and ransacked it from top to bottom in search of valuables. Every closet and every chest of drawers had been thoroughly ransacked, but the thieves evidently wanted money or gold or silver and so had not disturbed the clothing or furnishings of the house. MT Kissam feels very thankful to the burglars for their consideration i'll not taking away his household effects but It will take some time to get them back in their proper places again. The police were notified and are working on the case.

A LITTLE GENTLEMAN.

Often we find chivalrous hearts under meath the plainest of plain garb. This was the case when outside of a mission school in Glasgow, one cold January morning, a crowd of street waifs waited free breakfast. In their midst were two little more wretched and starved looking than the others. The girl es- pecially appeared terribly in need of food, as one hand held to her tattered shawl, as she stood on one of the stone steps as near to the door as possible. How she shivered in the raw, early morning air, the chill cold of the stone striking through her chilblained feet! ]!
 Close to Jeannie stood motherless lad of 10. A wonderful combination of rags hung round him, mysteriously kept together by woolen skewers, pins and pieces of string.
 Willie looked from Jeannie's blue feet to his own, not one whit less cold or chilblained. Then a sudden thought struck the lad, and he doffed the wretched old aTam O'Shanter" crown ing his fiery locks, and laid it on the steps, saying,--
 s'Stand. on it, Jeannie, bairn; ye win- na feel sa cauld.''
 ssThank ye, Willie,'' said the wee girl, gratefully availing herself of his little courtsey, and resting her cold feet on the comfortable wool of the "Tam O'Shan- ter"
 And the ones going by knew nothing of the little kindness done that day by noble-hearted little gentleman, who walked this earth in the guise of Glas- gow ragged street boy, but God knew.
 Make for yourselves nests of pleasant thoughts. None of us yet know, for none of us have been taught in early youth, what fairy places we may build of beautiful thought proof against all diversity. Bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithful say ings, treasure-houses of precious and restful thoughts, which care cannot dis turb, nor pain make gloomy, nor poverty

THE NIGILANT AND ANSONIA.
 Ansonans have reason to be proud of the Vigilant. She has three times gain ed the victory her hull covered with To- bin bronze metal aiding her in attain ing. great speed. The metal is only man. ufactured by the A. B. & C. Go. and in no way could the sterling quality of the metal have been better advertised than ;n the recent race. Samples are on eXhib- ition in most of the business places of the country in the shape of novelties. The time may not be far distant when the bottoms of war vessels of American build will be covered with this non corrosive composition.
 TRAMPS ARE NUMEROUS.
 Tramps are becoming more numerous as the cold weather advances. Main street and the vicinity of the station house are kept in reserve, however, while the outskirts are canvassed with untiring zeal. Cold bits are not requested as much as formerly. Hot dinners are or dered with plenty of side dishes with as much nonchalance as though they were sitting before the waiter in Main street hotel. In several instances the house. keeper has unclaimed the family dog on seeing their approach. The tramp has keen perceptions and is in mortal fear of hydrophobia; hence quick exit.

THE COOPERATIVE BUILDING BANK.

THE COOPERATIVE BUILDING BANK.
 R. Randall Davidson will hereafter represent the Cooperative Building Bank of New ' York in Ansonia and adjoining towns. This bank enjoys the reputation of putting in more stock in the past three years than any similar bank in the Unit ed States, over 10000 shares being sold in this state. A local branch will be organ ized in Ansonia with many of the busi- ness men on the board. Some have talk en stock merely as an investment, while others wish to borrow and build homes for themselves in the near future. Thous- ands of dollars go out of Ansonia to in surance companies every month to keep up the policies of the insured. During these hard times quite a number have been lapsed who have paid in for long time because they could not meet their maturing obligations. Intelligent work ing people are becoming educated to the fact that it is better to own their own home with a slight payment above rent rates per month than to live ill a ten- ment all their lives, and in the end not own shingle.

scriber who is in arrears that the ag-
gregate OF such subscriptions on our
books is quite large sum, and, that
it effects US much more seriously
than the small amount due US by
each subscriber effects him indiyidu-
ally, and it is actually necessary that
they pay up SO we can pay for paper

ask every subscriber now in arrears to
come forward with a portion of his
dues, if he cannot pay all at this
time.
