Show 1t to those who vii lend an ear
To the tale this trihe VIII tell
or liberty born Of a PATRIOTS dream. =,
OF a storm-cradled nation that fell
Too Door to possess the precious ore
And too much of stranger to borrow;
We issued to-day our promise to pay"
And hoped to redeem on the morrow
The days rolled on and weeks became years,
But our Golfers were empty still;
Gold was so scarce the treasury Guaked
If a dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith Tint was in US was strong In
Though our poverty even we discern,
And this little note represented the pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
They knew it had hardly value In gold
But as gold our soldiers received it;
t gazed in our eyes VITA promise to pay
And every true soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little of price or pay,
Or of bills that were overdue;
We knew if it bought our head to-day,
Twas the best our poor country could do.
Keep it, it tells all our history DER,
From the birth of the dream to its last;
Modest and born of the Angel Hope,
Like cur hope success, 1t passed.
Captain Stratton was at an entertain
ment in Georgia given to a famous Con-
federate general one night and the sub
ject of Confederate trophies was brought
up. 1t was suggested that a design such
as was presented to Admiral Foote
post should be made and presented to
certain people. There were three made.
Captain Stratton was the lucky recip-
lent of one, another was presented to
the Army and Navy club of Washing
ton, and the location of the third is I'M
known.

ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
Canaan Man Fell Seventy-Five Feet
and Escaped Unhurt.

Canaan Man Fell Seventy-Five Feet
and Escaped Unhurt.
William Holcomb, teamster employ
ed by the Canaan Lime company, on
Thursday fell from a cliff on Canaan
Mountain, together with pair of
horses and a wagon containing wood.
The cliff at this point Is seventy-five
feet high and the bottom Is covered
with huge, jagged rock. The man and
horses struck in some stunted pine
trees and escaped with scarcely a
scratch.
Holcomb was descending on the South
Mountain road with a heavy load Of
cordwood. Half way down the noun
tain the road skirts the dangerous cliff,
with flimsy board fence serving as the
only railing, and when the team reached
this spot the wagon slipped and the
horses were unable to hold it.
When the load struck the fence Hol~
comb endeavored to save himself by
jumping. Just as he leaped the wagon
fell and the impetus threw Holcomb In
a backward somersanlt down the cliff,
He struck in pine tree thirty feet
from where the wagon and horses land

Big Fire in a Winsted Shop

Big flre IN q WlnSteQ SnOp.
Winsted July 31.-The L. M. Jones
turning shop was burned to the ground
Saturday afternoon. IT took the firemen
some time to reach the fire on account
Of the steep incline. The firemen saved
the spring shop which adjoins the
building. A house across the street and
a telegraph pole were set on fire but
were saved.
The cauee of the fire was spark from
the chimney which set the roof on fire.
There were two explosions of oil barrels
which added to the flames and the
steam boiler also blew up, causing the
firemen and others who were near to
stand farther away from the burning
building. The building was owned by
the Henry Spring company and the loss
will amount to $25 600 partly covered by
insurance. S. M. Jones loss on the ma
chinery, etc, will amount to about $15,.
900, or $4,000. partly covered by insur-
ance. 1t is at present doubtful whether
