ONE RESULT OF 1.-THE STRENUOUS
 LIFE"
 All of New Milford's business men have led "the strenuous life," as President Roosevelt calls it, since the great fire, but when a business man becomes so expressed in business as to forget his dinner, this takes the cake. They say on the Park this happened to the genial and popular A. H. Mc- Mahon, a neighbor being sent after the affable A. H., the other day, with team, to remind him that the skinner was on the table and waiting." He then discovered he was hungry as a bear. -~
