desire to call the attention of young
men who are not already members, to
the fact that we have a frst-clasS
resort for young men, where the rooms
are well lighted and heated, land bright
and clean. This is a good place to
spend your leisure time, meet your
friends. and enjoy sociable evening.
We provide, for the entertainment of
our members, free billiard and pool
tables, with electric table lights, all
kept in tirSt-class order. Also checkers
and chess, both of which games are
played great deal in our rooms.
Other games are provided. We have a
well-supplied reading room, the daily

MERRITT SEES A GREAT LIGHT.

1t happened at a rehearsal for the
local Red Mems pow-wow. They had
gathered to practice for sham initia-
ton, and wanted a person to act as
candidate. evil you act as the can
didate, Brother Hill?'' said the Big
Chief innocently. Thinking there
was nothing in the wind he assented
Soon the Chief gave the signal and
before Merritt knew it he was seized
by the hair of the head and literally
dragged back and forth across the
room. When he came to, he found
himself on the floor and two chairs
and about four Indians on top of him.
"By thunder" said Merritt, "this has
got to stop" He doesn't like to talk
about volunteering for service. He
was seen on Monday in company with
a local doctor enrOute to Bridgeport,
and it was reported on Bank street he
had gone down to the hospital to get
patched up. All the same he promises
to get even with the Big Chief, and
that lively Indian from Kent, who had
him by the hair of the head.

AN IMPORTANT HORSE DEAL.

The very speedy and valuable horse,
"Walter r., has been sold by w. c..
Beeman to Charles Barnum of Lime
Rock. This stopper won number of
races on the local circuit, last fall, and
has promising future. AS Mr. Bar
mum buys none but the best, it is safe
to say he has confidence in his latest
purchase. The price paid is under
stood to be handsome one.
The tendency seems to be growing
toward useful Christmas gifts, and if
you want anything in this line Golden
invites you to visit his store in the
Schoverling building and look over his
stock of mems, ladies' and children S
clothing. He has an unusually fine

REV GEORGE STERLING.

KEW GEORCE SIE1tLlNG.
We were greatly surprised and pain
ed to read Of the death of Rev George
Sterling in last weeks issue of The
BEE. We had Just written a friend in
New Milford to learn if possible his
address, in order to reopen cores
pondence which had been kept up for
a number of years, while Mr. Sterling
was pursuing his studies for the min
Stry, and for considerable period
thereafter. AS neighbOrs and school
boys together we were always the best
of friends. We we're in the same
classes and sat together in the old
long benches with it's high desks
around the four sides of the room.
Both in our studies and play we were
in harmony and helped each other on.
Even in those early years, he had the
beginnings of that noble character
which adorned his after life, and a
gOOdly measure of that fine sense of
honor and keen desire for right and
justice, which continued to deepen and
expand as his life work expanded. He
had a reverence for divine things in
his young boyhood and sometimes
spoke to me of the value of religion
and wished that he possessed it. He
was converted when about 25 and
openly prOfessed Christ. He immedi-
ately communicated to me his joyous
experience and to him, more than any
one else, | have always felt indebted,
as an instrument in the hand of the
Master which led me to accept the
Saviour. For many years, through our
correspondence and when we OCCASION
ally met, we were discussing the prob
lens of the Christian life and trying
to aid and comfort each other in the
way. To him, duty stood first and
foremost. think there are few who
will come nearer to the Scripture in
junction, to cut off right hand or
pluck out right eye and cast it from
them, rather than give offense, know
ingly, to the Master. In business and
all worldly matters he believed in
avoiding that which was in any way
questionable, as the only safe course
for the follower of Christ, and scrupu-
lousy practiced what he preached.
We sympathize deeply with the many
friends and relatives who mourn his
sudden departure from the things of
time, but we rest assured that their
great loss is his greater gain.-[C. N. B.
