The juvenile son of an army officer made
a strange mixture of the history OF George
during the absence of his parents, and to
entertain the children and instill a lesson of
manly honor and patriotism told them the
famous stories of the liberty bell and the
cherry tree. The scion of the soldier was
much interested, but the details got badly
twisted in his head. When his father re-
turned home he was told of the fine story
the visitor had told about the Father of his
Country. Washington must have been a
wonderful man "said the boy. "He smashed
the liberty bell with his little Ratchet and
his father whipped him with a cherry tree

 Motorman Lindstrom and the others who were injured were taken to New Haven on a special car hurried to the spot, the former going immediately to the New Haven hospital, where his legs were amputated. The fortitude of Mo-
 
 and the bravery that he showed was of the kind that is after read about but rarely seen. He suffered untold agony and was unconscious at times from the loss of blood. His sister, with whom he lived, was called to the hospital. He died soon after she arrived there. The funeral arrangements have not yet been made.
 Leslie Augur, boy of twelve, although badly cut. managed to free himself from the wreck and immediately start ed out over the hills to East Haven to inform Dr. Ho!brook that medical aid was needed. He reached there in f1f- teen minutes. giving the first news of the wreck, and Dr. Holbrook reached the scene half an hour after the acci- dent happened. Dr. ercy D. Littleiohn and Dr. Gaylord of Branford hurried to the place in special cars, prepared to attend to the injured. Their work was done rapidly and well, and the suffer- ings of many were greatly relieved bN the care bestowed.
 The wreck was cleared up in few hours and the cars pulled to the barns in Fair Haven. The smashup drew a large crowd from Branford and Short Beach and it formed the main topic of conversation during the evening.
 As soon as the wreck was heard of in New Haven the repair car and three passenger cars were sent to the place and several passengers were carried there to see it. On the way down the repair car struck an ice wagon in East Haven disabling it, but the speed of the car was not hindered.
 Saturdays accident was about the worst in the history of the Fair Haven and Westville railroad which is remark ably free from accidents of any kind.

comparatively easy. Onward galloped the hunters between the long, undulat- ing files of shaggy brown backs, pick ing out the fat cows and the young bulls at their leisure. And as feath- cred shaft left the snapping bowstring and stricken beast tottered and went down, the loud, triumphant cry of the hunter rang quit, and he tossed moc- casin or breaded fire bag beside it to mark his kill, and then flew on.
 The chase might last as long as the horses wind. When it was over the women came with the ponies and the slaughter. The carcasses were soon stripped of their hairy coats, the meat packed on the travoys, the bones brok- en and the marrow extracted, and, loaded with the red spoil, the whole party returned to camp. Here, is an in- credibly short time the meat was cut into wide, thin sheets and hung upon pole frames in the sun and wind to dry
 After a day or two these sheets were removed and spread upon the clean prairie grass, where, if the weather con- tinued fair, they soon became as hard as hingles. They were then placed up- on a hide threshing floor. with the sides elevated on short pegs to form a sort of basin. and beaten with fails or be- tween stones until the meat was reduc- ed almost to a powder. The strange thing was that, if properly handled, the flesh seldom, if ever, became at all tainted, though in any other than the dry. pure atmosphere of the Northwest such method of preparing it would doubtless be impossible.
 Meanwhile the marrow and other choice fat had been rendered. and bags, some 2x1 1-2 feet of raw buffalo hide, doubled over at the bottom and sewn up at the sides with the sinew of the animal, made for the reception of the pemmican. The melted fat was next poured over the shredded meat in the threshing basin, and the whole mixed to the consistency of paste. That was the pemmiean. It was shovelled into the sacks. pounded down, and after the tops had been sewn up and the bags jumped to make them flat, the cooled pemmican packages were solid and al- most as hard as so many boulders.

The Passing of a Food That Was of
 Great Value Fifty Years Ago
 Fifty years ago penlmtcan was to the shifting and scant population of the Northwest what flour is in the present day to English speaking peoples in most civilized portions of the globe-the staple and most common food of the country Then it was always made from the buffalo, which covered the Western plains. The great fur corporation known as the Hudson Bay company bought hundreds of bags of the dark, nutritious compound annually from the Indians. for use at its. trading posts scattered over the vast wilderness stretching from the Red River and Hudson Bay to the Rocky Mountains, and from the two Saskatchewans to the Arctic Sea, aregion then designated Prince Rupert's Land.
 Pemican Cor, more properly, pimeekon) is a Cree word meaning a mixture, or something made with fat. It was composed of buffalo meat dried in the sun and pounded fine, mixed with melted fat, and was sewn up in sacks made from the raw hide of the buffalo, with the hair outside. It did not look inviting, but was, in fact, wholesome, strong food. which would keep for years. If the buffalo was im- portant to the fur trader, the ungainly animal was life itself to the red man, for it furnished him with everything his heart could desire, or with the means nf tS kha migratory insticts of the herds, which tok them first into the recognized ter ritory of one tribe and next into that of an enem fresh meat was not always obtainable, pemmican was the form In which the Indian preserved and laid away his store of provisions against the day of scarcity.
 Quitting the excitemept of the hunt and substituting herds fol, the wild ones of the plains, description of pemmi- can-making by the Indians quarter of a century ago will give an idea of what might have been witnessed at Duck Lake In the summer of 1899. Intelli- gence that a band of buffaloes was in the vicinity threw the Indian camp at once into a state of violent excitement. Men rushed from the lodges buckling on quivers of arrows and belts of cart ridges, women talked and gesticulated, boys raced about shouting shrilly to one another, the horse herd was drivesxs in and in afew minutes the bucks, mounted on their buffalo runners" and under the direction of the chief of the hunt. moved in silent body out of the camp. On nearing the herd, advan- tage was taken of each slight rise or dip to cover the approach, which was always up wind, so that the wary brutes should not catch the scent. Stealthily they rode, one behind another, until concealment was no longer possible. Then. at a signal from their chief. they burst upon the open plain and dashed yelling at the top speed of their trained horses at the startled herd.
 Usually 1t was some distance away, perhaps half mile, and it took a good horse to overhaul a buffalo. Once up with the straining animals, however, their pace slackened, and the rest was

X HISTORIC RESIDENCE.
ATTORNEY s. HARRISON VAC
 NER'S PURCHASE

Of the Old Nathaniel Bacon Rouse on
 Crown street-wiu EEpend sIO,OOO
 Upon It-Mr. LawtOn. its Late Owner,
 to Build a New ResIdenee on High
 Street.
 Deeds recording the sale of the prop erty at the southeast corner of Crown and High streets were filed in the town clerks office Saturday afternoon. The property was sold to Attorney $. liar rison Wagner, the railroad magnate, by Police Commissioner J. J. Lawton, who purchased it in 1900 from the Lucretia Bacon estate for about $1S000. The as- sessors' valuation on the property in the lists of 1901 is $17,S25, and it is un- derstood that the recent purchase price is about s2000O.
 i This is an interesting historical prop erty. The residence was erected by the great-grandfa ther of Judge W. K. Townsend, who occupied it as his home for years. It was afterward for years the home of Asa Bacon, a noted New Ha- vener, and its transfer to Mir. Lawton was the second transfer of the proper ty in it's history. Its first tran4er was to the late Thomas R. Trowbridge. son of the late Thomas R. TrOwbridge, who occupied it for years, and after his death it was bought by Police Commis- sioner Lawton. who rented it to Max Osterweis, who resided there for some time. For the last few months the house has been vacant. The transfer by MT. LaWton is of the residence and a part of the land. The land has the ample frontage of eighty feet and a depth of one hundred and sixty-five feet. Mr. Wagner has purchased the eighty front feet to a depth of one hundred feet, leaving sixty-f1ve feet on the High street side, which is retained by MT. Iawton, on which he will erect hand some residence. probably, as it is un- derstood, for his own residence. The large and fine barn at the rear is in- cluded in MT. Lawton's part. This will be torn down by MT. Lawton to make room for the residence which he will erect Mir. Lawtor will erect a home for himself which will be a great im- provement to this section. MT. Wag- ner, it is learned, will greatly improve the former Trowbridge residence, expending about $10.O0O upon it. MT. Wagner is wealthy man, having made a great deal of money in the last few years through his railroad and other deals. He will equip the new home throughout with a most complete sys- tenn of sanitary plumbing and will add beautiful veranda on the front and rear of the residence, and will much improve the house internally. He ex- racts to move into it about the first of
