Jack is All Right.

"Tom,' began one old merchant to
another as they were taking fifteen
cent lunch together, II feel as though
could talk to you for we have been
friends ever since we were boys, and
must talk with someone"
What is it, Jim?"
That son of mine. He's kind to me,
says he's always ready to help me
when there's chance and tells me the
truth, no matter what he has done. But
nothing that can say with view to
reforming his habits seems to make
any impression. I'll just give you an
example. The other evening I said to
him that had seen him coming out of
saloon and asked him If he wasn't
ashamed of himself.
sIreally think the rascal answer
ed. that it looks better to come out
than it does to go in
You shouldn't have gone in, D
snapped.
But 1 was in and it was better to
come out when ! did than two or three
hours later Then he laughed and told
me not to worry"
"And think you had better follow
his advice. Jack doesn't drink. have
that from the boys that train with him.
And between me and you, old man, +
have an idea he was looking you up.
1t Is whispered about in good many
places that a few of us respectable
codgers sneak in the back way and
have a quiet game in that back room.
1t sounds good deal worse than 1t Is,
and guess that Jack must be troubled
about you. Wed better shift our quar-
ters so as to throw him off the scent"
MY shift will be to never play an
another game of poker, and I'll tell
Jack SO before sleep. He's the best
boy in town"

wanted a Discount.

when / was out West" says a bhsi-
ness man, "a young man registered at
the hotel and proceeded to make
things lively. The first night he played
poker with the landlord and cleaned
him out, the next night he came home
drunk and whipped the cabman, the
third night he went up and down the
halls singing at the top of his voice and
daring the chambermaids to come out
and embrace him. In the morning they
asked for the key Of his room and gave
him his bill. He looked 1t over, and
then said, with surprised pathos:
Don't you make any discount to minis

"Punch and judy show. This show
was given every 20 minutes and attrac-
ted immense crowds. Bold and naughty
Mr. Punch appeared on the scene, fol
lowed closely by Mrs Judy and the baby.
But the poor baby is killed by the
naughty father, then the mother, then
the doctor, then the sheriff, aud last of
all comes his satanic majesty to carry
Mr. Punch into those regions where we
are told fire and birthstone predominant.
This show did fine business. The next
step brings US to the Japanese booth
which was handsomely trimmed aud
decorated with all the Japanese fineries
imaginable. All the lady inmates were
dressed in Japanese style, and presented
most handsome and attractive picture.
Everything found in Japanese store
could be found here, and nearly every
thing was sold. In little white and
blue tent we find the gypsy queen, in the
person Of Mrs G. E. Wright of Water
bury, who dispensed fortunes of all
kinds, and made, no doubt many young
fellow and maiden happy.

THE SUCCESSFUL GAL FREsoo rErE'.


Last Thursday evening the 18th an
nual "Al FrescO Fete" was held ON the
green in front Of the church. 1t would
seem that as the years roll on this fete
becomes more and more popular. Sew
eral years ago one would have thought
it had gained the height OF it's popular
ity, but to-day it is more popular than it
eyer was before. Old, young, rich and
poor. Everyone goes to the fete, not
only of Watertown people but also from
the surrounding towns. Waterbury sent
hundreds. Every train from 4.20 on
wards brought its load. Thomaston
sent her quota ia carriages, buses and
bicycles. The same may be said of
Litchfield, Bethlehem, Woodbury. and
Middlebury and as far as Washington
and Torrington. And why not? The
scene is a fairy one and well worth com.
ing miles to look at even IL we only
stand at one side to do 1t. The booths,
with their many colored trimmings, pre-.
sided over by some Of Watertown's most
beautiful young ladies all dressed in
keeping with the title Of the booth over
which they presided, the japanese, the
French, the candy, lemonade, ice cream
and fancy goods booths, all We'd with
each other in beauty, and were vel

The myriads of Chinese lanterns lent en-
chantment to the scene. 1t Is estima
ted that about $500 people were present
but let us in fancy walk again through
the grounds and sum up the many at
! fractions. The Americans report is wei
worthy Of repetition here:

NEW MILFORD
A SERIOUS BICYCLE ACCIDENT.

A SERIOUS BICYCLE ACCIDENT.
Monday evening, while party of BIZ
cycle riders we're practicing for the com
ing race, July 10, Eddie Calvin, one of
New Milford's lest riders, when about
mile south of the village speeding his
machine for all there was in it, sudden
ly it broke, throwing the rider fearfully,
and ipjuring him quite badly. A couple
of teeth were knocked out, his nose torn
and the forehead and one side of his face
skinned. He was picked up, team pro.
cured, and he was brought to the village,
where his friends washed Oft the blood
from him and then sent to Dr. George
Staub's office, who stitched and patched
him up, when he was taken home, and
will now let time and nature heal
his wounds. 1t would seem as
though these accidents would tend to stop
such speeding of the bicycle but railroad
trains and fast horses have got to be beat
en-, if it takes leg or life and advice
given is seemingly waste Of Lime. 1t
appears now as though there would be
more cripples and wrecks among the pres
ent generation than there were after the
Rebellion or War of 1861 to 1865.
Masons and carpenters have completed
the work caused by the moving of the
barn on George w. Anthony's premises
and he is now doing the grading around
it.
George q. Lines has nearly completed
the underpinning for his new building on
South Main street.
The addition which Is being built on
the house of Seymour and William G..
Green in Church street Is we'll under way.
The Wayside Inn, which was formerly
the Ingleside school building,is now open
for hotel and bids fair to be well pat
ronized.
The rectory school, Rev Mr. Everest
principal, closed last Friday, and the pu-
pills have gone to their respective homes
till September, when the fall term begins.
The new train which under the sum-
| mer arrangements made its first trip to
Pittsfleld on Saturday last and returning
to New York Sunday evening, leaving
| this station at 1888 p. M, promises to be
a very popular train for city people who
| are summering at the several towns along
| its route.
Business of all kinds continues to be
good and gro wing better in and around
| New Milford. Farmers are very busy
and they have now got big hay crop
staring them in the fat e to be harvested.
Tobacco is looking well but many raisers
are having trouble by the cut worm,
which causes quite considerable reset,
ting of plants.
The New Milford band gives fine con-
certs on the village green every Wednes
day evening. it has several new players
who are experts on the various instru
ments and they, together with the citi
zens, can afford to be quite proud of 8
band, giving the public fine music
and q rich entertainment.
