CAUGHT IN AN AWKWARD PREDICA-
MENT.
Theodore Rogers, the son of Mrs Car
rie Rogers of Sherman, was the victim
of a trying experience, last week We'd
nesday night. On returning from
college he was met at the sta tion by
his man and set out for home. When
near the point OF the mountain, they
found the water SO high from the ice
flood they did not dare to ford it and
went back to try the Town bridge and
west side. Crossing the bridge they
drove into the water up to the wagon
body. They had only gone a short
distance when they encountered an
enormous cake of ice, which they could
not pass. They managed to turn
around, although it was dark, and
once more started for Sherman by the
east side of the Housatonic. Again
they urged their horses into the icy
water, and made the passage safely.

THE CALENDAR CRAZE.

and no mistake. Mr. Clark has been
giving them out with liberal hand. 1t

Merritt w. Hill has been giving his
friends some neat and small calendars,
suitable for desk use, and just what
the busy man wants.

just how the fire originated no one

citizen thought it might have resulted
from the chimney burning out, while
others suggested that Over-heated
steam pipes caused the trouble, as they
started the fire of week ago in the
same building, which was .extinguished
without great damage.
The front part of the building,
saved from burning, was originally the
fine old Treadwell mansion. Later it
was built over into hotel by stock
company. who expended, SO D.. E..
Soule informed us, something like

ago it was bought by Mrs Black and
four years ago large additions were
built on by Contractor Sunderland of
Danbury. 1t was put in the most
modern state of repair, and to have it
despoiled by fire seems a great pity.
On the top of the main building was a
fine assembly hall, which was slightly
damaged by fire. Quite considerable
of the furniture was removed from
the main part during the fire and car

MAINE LIQUOR LAW.

Reference to the Maine liquor law
in connection with the activity of the
Anti-Saloon League again brings tOI
the front the many different phases OF
the liquor question which Name eX-
perience is cited to prove. One says
prohibition Is a failure and gives
Maine as an instance to prove it; an
other that prohibition is grand sue
cess and he turns to Maine as a shin
ing example. So the discussion goes,
up and down the line with Maine serv-
ing as many purposes as decisions of
the law courts that prove anything.
II is not a fact that there is less vio-
lation of the Maine liquor law In the
country towns than in the cities when
the matter Is viewed from the stand
point of population. There is hardly
town of any size in the State of Maine

One of the inevitable results of the just resentment aroused by the action of the beef trust in compelling con sumers to pay advanced prices for meat when there is no legitimate cause for the advance, will be an ;n- tensifying of the popular sentiment against the more evil combinations.
