A CHRISTIAN ENDEAVoR AUXILIARY. A sewing society, for the benefit of poor children, was formed at the home of J. II. Summers, recently. It will be an auxiliary of the Christian Endeavor society. The ladies comprising it will meet once week for the purpose of making ipretty and practical garments for worthy poor children. These meet ings are not held for the purpose of ex- changing the latest choice bits of gossip, but for business pure and simple. This is shown by the large amount of work performed by the society at the initial meeting at Mrs Summers. There is plenty of work to be done and more ac- tive members are needed. No applicant for an honorary membership need apply. Workers are wanted. Join. 5.

THE MAN WITH AN UNCERTAIN
 MEMORY.
HE HIRES HORSE OF COUNTY COMMIs- sIONER HOULIHAN AND LEAVES
 IT AT WILTON.

After THE BEE had gone to press, last Thursday night, word was received that County Commissioner Houlihan's horse was at Wilton. Deputy Sheriff Glover went down and brought it home on Fri day. The Philadelphia man with a treacherous memory, who hired the horse, told some disjointed stories. To the proprietor of the stable at Wilton he represented himself as Mr IIoulihan, to q man at the Wilton depot he volunteer ed the information that he hired this horse of Mir IIoulihan to drive to New Canaan. He represented to the livery man that he had injured his arm in col lission and had been to local doctor in Wilton to have it treated. But it was found he had not been near the doctor. It is doubtful if he comes to Newtown to hire a horse again.

THE STREET RAILWAY STRIKE.

THE STREET RAILWAY STRIKE.
 Bridgeport has had lively sensation Il the last few days in a tie-up of it's fla nous street railway system. The situa- ton in a nutshell, is as follows: Sat urday afternoon at three o'clock the employees of the Bridgeport Traction Co.,, tied up the road. On Sunday morning, popular sympathy existing in their be- half led to display of mob violence with which the police department proved utterly unable to cope. Sunday after noon the attempt to run cars was tenn porarily abandoned. Monday, Tuesday and part of Wednesday the cars rested on motionless wheels and the horses of the company enjoyed an unwonted rest in the barns. Wednesday the may or, after consultation with the governor, and after calling to his assistance the power of the country, vested in High Sheriff Clarkson, decided that the cars must be run. In the afternoon at o'clock, the city might as we'll have been placed under martial law. The entire | line of the street railway was patrolled by policemen and deputy sheriffs. Ali l hat hour horses were hitched to the frs car and the authorities were about to or der it under heavy police prote ,tion te run the gauntlet of 10000 people gath cred along the tracks when the message came. II make application to drive th' l first car. I think I can settle the strike 1 and the strike was settled.'' The mal who sent the message was A. R. Logic l the energetic head of w. B. Hall S Co., dry goods establishment, who agrees t' pay the difference between what tn
 Traction Co.,, wants to give and wha
 the men demand. Mr Logic drove tn
 first car over the route after the settle
 ment and was greeted with cheers alon
 the way.

Something For Nothing.


"The darkest hour in any young man g
life," says Horace Greeley, is when he
sits down to plan how to get money with
out earning it"
There are more ways than one Of max
ing this fatal mistake of trying to get
something for nothing. The criminal way
is the worst morally, but not the most
common.
Almost as demoralizing to character,
though not positively criminal, are the
many ways of trying to increase ones
wealth at the expense Of others-by gam
bling. Still third way of getting some
thing for nothing is to hunt for a sine
cure. The new mayor of Brooklyn, elected
on strong platform of municipal reform,
returning home from short trip just aft
er his election, found three bushels Of let
ters from applicants for Office, most of
them, it is safe to say, from lazy young
men who wanted an ''easy place"
This incident has led to the quotation of
President Lincoln's apt saying, ''If ever
this free people-tbis government ut
terly demoralized, it will come from this
human struggle for office--a way to live
without work.
Value for value is the only rule in busi-
ness, politics and morals. Youths Com
panion.
