TT WAS BOTH.

Tt was a very gracious and hospita- ble act.," remarks the Hartford Cour- ant concerning Seth H. Moseley's cour- tesy in giving up his private residence in New Haven to the family of Secre- tary Hay after the tragic death of Adelbert Hay at the hotel of which MT. Moseley is the senior proprietor. The Courant things that some hotel pro- prietors would have provided the big gest rooms In the hotel and had bills to correspond.' MT. Mosaley is an inn keeper of the good old school, and he was instructed in the first principles of the business by the Chapins of this city. There has been changes in hotels Keeping. as in nearly everything else, during the past fifty years. Not that hosts are nowadays any the less solicit GUS in the management or tnelf houses than in the old times. Rather it is the bigness of things and the great scale upon which things are done that renders the ld-fash!oned contract be- tween guest and host often impossible. And so it is that when you find a sur vivor of the former generation of inn keepers trained in the mellow school of the Chapins of this town, as 1t was before the war; you have a man who instinctively acts, as occasion under modern conditions offers, in the good hospitabe old-fashioned way. Mir Moseley fifty years ago helped superin- tend dinners for Daniel Webster and sometimes, when the notice was short, there was hustle to get fat Connec- ticut river shad. He recalls the big tumbler from which Webster always dranl, his brandy. And those are jo- vial memories.

4 BRAIN FOOD AND REP A|REA.
Keep Them in Order.

Every minister, lawyer, journalist nhysician, author or business man IS eorced under pressure of modern con- ditions to the active ands sometimes over-actiye use of the brain. Analy- sis of the excreta thrown out by the poras shows that brain work breaks down the phosphate of potash, sepa- ,.a tine if from it's heavier companion, o1hunen. and plain common sense teaches that this elemental prlnclpie m,ist be introduced into the body anew each day, if we would replace the JOSS and rebuild the brain tissue.
 We know that the phosphate or pot ash. as presented in certain he'd grains. has an affinity for albumen and that is the only way gray matter Ill The brain can be built. It will not answer to take the crude phosphate or potash of the drug shop, for nature rejects it. The elemental mineral must be presented through food dl- rectlv from Natures laboratory
 These facts have been made use ot in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts, and any brain worker can prove the value of the proper selection of food by making free use of Grape-Nuts for ten days or two weeks. Sold by gro cers everywhere (and in immense uuantities). Manufactured by the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, Battle Creek, Michigan

BONNETS FOR HORSES.
The First to be Seen in Danbury Worn
 bv 10. c. Marsh's Animals.

The First to be Seen in Danbury Worn
 by E. c. Marsh's Animals.
 The horses on E. c. Marsh's oil de- livery wagons were wearing straw bonnets yesterday to protect their heads from the scorching sum- These are the first horse bonnets to be used in Danbury. They are gradually com- ing into use in the larger cities for the benefit of the poor horses which have to work out in the sun great part of the day.
 The bonnets are made of braided straw, like other straw headgear, and in shape are much like the old-fash- toned straw hats, which our grand mothers, or some of our grandmothers, used to weave out of the straw grown on the farm, and which were worn in the harvest fields by our grandfathers
 The crown is bell shaped and pointed and the brim is turned down. Two holes for the horses ears are made in the brim, and when it is very hot a sponge soaked in cold water can be placed in the crown of the bonnet on top of the horses head, to cool his brains.
 There is quite an interesting story sensible and humane headgear for the horse Perhaps it is a true story and perhaps it is only a legend
 It is told that a teamster from the country drove into a town or city one very hot day n summer, wearing a battered old broad brimmed straw hat. It had lost its shape and had holes in the brim as well as in the crown
 Feeling the need of a new hat he went into a haberdasher's shop and bought one. Then, partly in spirit of humor, and partly because he felt sorry for his beast, which was com pelled to toll in the sun without protec- ton, he presented the old hat to his horse, and placed 1t in position on the animals head, two holes in the brim being In just the right place for the long ears to stick through.
 In this manner he drove about the streets until his business was trans acted, attracting much attention. It would have been strange if some ingen- ious man had not found in this sight a suggestion of a straw hat made to fit a horses head and worn in the same manner That was exactly what did happen, and it was not long before many work horses in that city were wearing the hats made by that ingeni- ous man. The man from the country drove home unconscious of the good work which he had set in motion by his thoughtful, though partly humor- ous action, which has since been the means of relieving much of the suffer- ing of these patient and faithful ami mals.--Danbury News.

LATEST FAIR HAVEN NEWS
FINE ENEIGHBORHOOD DISPLAY OF
 pYROTECHNIC

By Residents of BlntchIcy Avenue and
 Vioinity-Attracted Thousands of
 PeopIe-A Marveiousiy Beautiful
 spcctacIc-Much Credit to All Con-
 cerncd.
 For six years past, the residents of Blatchley avenue between Grand ave- nue and Chapel street, have united in a great neighborhood celebration of the Fourth of July, which have attracted thousands of people and won great praise. The celebration last night un- doubtedly surpassed all previous ef- forts. Last year there were 5000 lan- terms which spanned the avenue and it is estimated that the number was fully 5000 latS night.
 It was a marvelously beautiful dis play of flags, lanterns and fireworks Much of the success of the affair is due to Edward M. Seeley buyer for Howe & Stetson, and resident of the ave- nue, who was in charge, although he says that the credit should go to the committee, which consisted of A. B. Bradley, Joseph Levine, Arthur j.. Weld, MT. Sparks, Joseph s. Blinn, Walter E. Petrie, w. H. Preston, Joseph Edmundson, E. A. Johnson and Mir. Scranton. All of the above had their residences handsomely decorated. Others who decorated their homes in cluded Robert Macarthur, James Mac Mahon, John Casey, w. P. Damn, F. w. ioh Cny,1plIyy Nelson S. Johnson, Earle F. Johnson, Thomas Rogerson, Frank F. Fowler Mrs. Bal duo, Christopher Pagan, John c. Brad ley, Samuel M. Munson, John Harty, Dennis S. Murphy, Philip A. Mayrand Andrew J. Hull, Frank s. Arnold, 5. w. Langley, MT. McGregor, MT. Par rott, MT Bishop. In fact nearly every house in the district was decorated.
 The lanterns were for the most part displayed in long lines across the wide street. There were twelve of these lines one, between the residences of AL derman Petrie and w. H. Preston be- ing 160 feet in length. The rectory ot Grace church was a splendid sight in its covering of lanterns and flags, which were arranged by A. J. Weld. The residence occupied by F. M. Seeley and A. B. Bradley was almost hidden be- hind 200 lanterns of various designs An open lot at Woolsey and Blatchley owned by A. J. Weld bore a great pro- fusion of decorations.
 The day display with the rows of ul- lighted lantrens and profusion of flags was beautiful, but of course the even ing show was the crowning feature Just at o'clock the 5000 or so Ian terms were lighted, and the effect was beautiful. Then began the burning of red fire, the combination putting the avenue in one great blaze of red light. A little later, each of the residents be- gan the discharge of fireworks, rockets and roman candles predominated. The effect was almost like sea of fire i'll the sky. This display was kept up un- til 10 o'clock or after and then the lan- terms were allowed to burn out The avenue was filled with thousands Of people coming from all parts of the city. According to the custom since these celebrations were inaugurated, almost every house had a party ot friends who called and were enter tained after the celebration. All who took part in getting up this splendid, patriotic affair, have reason to be con- graduated upon it's success.
