A Feast of Good Things. St Nicholas in 1903 Promises To Go Far Beyond Past
 Successes.

Prof John Bach McMaster recently wrote to the editors of St. Nicholas: "rhank you very heartily for the pleasure and profit St Nicho- las brings.to my boys.''
 Boys-and girls-are very much alike the world over. The delight and help that St. Nicholas is giving to Professor McMaster's boys, and thousands of other girls and boys, it holds for every girl and boy who can under stand English.
 Since the first number of St Nicholas was published. nearly 30 years ago. many weekly and monthly publications for children have come and gone; but St Nicholas still holds it's place. the unrivalled prince of periodicals for young folks" It was never more enjoyed by it's readers than now, for in addition to the us ual serial stories short articles, etc., there is a department called "The St Nicholas League" in which the children themselves have an opportunity to take part. There are said to be nearly fifty thousand children now belonging to the League. and prizes are given out each month for the best stories, poems drawings and photographs sent in by the young members. Any reader of St Nicholas may become a member.
 St Nicholas announces for 1903 ''The Story ot King Arthur written and illustrated by Howard Pyle, d companion story to his fla | nous ''Robin Hood.'' but which readers of the manuscript think surpaSseS that in strength | and interest of the narrative and beauty of | the illustrations Two short stories by Miss Alcott. written for her own little nieces and | never before published, will soon appear in | St Nicholas. with other stories and articles by
 the ut or: of Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage
 Patch" by Ruth McEnerv Stuart. Frank R. 1 well-known writer's St Nicholas makes a
 speciality of papers of information. richly H. | lustrated articles on practical subjects, like
 the Navy Yard, the Assay Office, etc..
 The price of St Nicholas is three dollars
 year. The publishers announce that new
 sub ,cri bers who begin with January may re- 1 ceive the November and December numbers l free, and so begin the volume and get the | commencement of all the serials. The pub fishers are The Century Co.,, Union Square.

A COMMUNICATION.

To the Editor of THE VIEWPOINT BEE: In reply to letter written to Rev O. o. Wright and printed in your last weeks paper in regard to pre- miums. paid by the NewtOwn Fair as- sociatiOn: It seems to me the writer ought to suggest better plan. As it is now the Fair association advertise in th0ir premium book that where
 there is no competition only second money will be paid and that is the general rule at all the fairs in the state. He says man in town entered a pair of family horses, there was no ond premium. Now suppose my fam fly horses were there. They were lame and in their teens and 1 should get first premium, as our friend says l ought to have. think people would say our judges had gone crazy. He al- so says farmers wife makes up five pounds of butter and takes it to the Danbury, New Milford, Huntington and Orange fairs and in every case gets first premium. Now she takes that same five pounds of butter to the Newtown fair and because there is no competition she gets only second pre- mium. It seems to me she did well to get second premium at the Newtown Iull do lU nave UdoUCu ldUllC1 strong and cheeSy to a good judge of butter by the time it reached New town. Now if our farmers wife should bring her five pounds of butter to the Newtown fair first and there was no competition and she gets second pre-. mium that ought not to hurt her feel ings as it does not in any way indicate to any one that her butter is not good. And if she planes anyone for not get ting first premium, she ought to more interest in the fair and having five pounds of butter there to compete with her. I do not think any farmer in the town ought to blame the man. agers of the Fair association because there is no competition as there cer- tainly would be if each one took an in- terest in it's welfare and had some ar ticle on exhibit oh.-[A Stockholder

IN NEW HANDS. THE OLD RELIABLE REID JEWELRY
 STORE,

STORE.
 The old reliable Reid's jewelry store made new again by new proprietor, Henry c. Reid. This is the original business that was started by J. H. Reid S Go. on State street in 1883. The firm moved to the City Bakery build ing in 1884, where they continued un- til the spring of 1886, when they had a fire, which resulted in great loss. In September, 1886, the firm moved to the United Bank building, ,952 Main street, where the business has been conducted ever since. In 1890 John H. Reid sold out his interest in the business to his father, John Reid, and went out of the firm altogether. John Reid left the firm of Warner & Parker at that December l, 1901, when another son, Henry c. Reid, came to the rescue and purchased the entire business. He is a young man who has been with the firm ever since it was started in 1883. He has a great many friends and is acquainted with all the old customers and knows their wants. He knows how to buy and sell honest goods. He has added a great many new things to his stock, and put in new store fix lures, and is sure to succeed. He in tends to build up a business that will be credit to himself and those that handled it before him. MT Reid is hard worker and deserves all the. pa tronage he can get. His holiday stock is now complete, and if there is any, thing you need for Christmas or any other time give him call. Come early while his stock is fresh and new, and you have a good assortment to choose from. His motto is honesty in all dealings. Don't make mistake in the place; it is the old stand, 952 Main street, in the United Bank building.

FURS.

It's the life that makes a fur good. Pick up one scarf-it's as soft and pli- ant as silk yet as full of life as a child. Take an. other and it's harsh and dull and comparatively dead.
 The difference? To begin with some skins are bet ter; to end with some are cured better, treated bet ter, made up better. It pays us better to sell the latter sort; you are bet ter satisfied. It pays you better to buy that sort; it wears longer and looks finer-is full of goodness.
 Fair examples of the va riety now ready:
 Long marten scarf finished with six tails, $25.
 Sable-fox boa with brush tails and paws, fastens with the new sliding clasp finished on ends with tails, 32.5O.
