Why, that looks little presump-

that we country people have just
as much right to have our celebra-
lions written up and to get our

do think we deserve it more. For
the town people have everything to
amuse them and break up the same

street cars, the automobile, the
power house, the printing office and
laundry; the cotton factory, round
bale gin, and cotton press; bargain
days and first Mondays; clubs,
theaters, and operas; church and

prayer meetings, or some kind of
League, Union, or Endeavor meet

nothing of going down town any

5000 THING FOR Us
But Bad for the Hen that She Had
Feathers on Her Legs.

When Uncle Snort went off coll
1ecting last week / told him he just
must select hen for me that
wanted to have a little Thanks
giving dinner.
He said "See that white Wyan-
dot pullet with feathers on her legs"
Eyes sir" replied.
"Well, you can have her, don't
make a mistake and get another"
'All right l promised.
So on Wednesday Mrs. Kyle
Butler and myself went to work
cleaning, up etc.
1 found three eggs and made a
pecan layer cake. l thought that
thre eggs at 0cents apiece were equal
to more than eggs at % cents. per
dozen, go concluded myself that
what my eggs lacked in quantity
they gained in quality. That cake
was good, ask Mr.. Henry Hawks.
And Mrs. Kyle made some mince
pies. and salmon salad and potato
salad and all were good-ask Mr..
KYLE.
And that hen Mr.. Editor, was a
darling Young, tender, sweet and
juicy, a nice golden brown, bake
to a queens taste. She was good
ask Mr.. Jim Boyd.
So with the gentlemen already
mentioned, and Mrs. Spears and
baby, Opal, Mrs. Bertha Boyd and
little Wilson, Mrs. Henry Haws
and baby Margaret and our own
little family made sociable little
crowd. All the day needed to make
1t complete was the presence of
Uncle Snort, but / need not have
worried as be has informed me later
that he ate nice dinner at the
church at Auburn. In the evening
Kyle and Mrs. Boyd gave US some
nice music and songs, and we sepa-
rated in the evening thankful, not
only for the hen, the cake, the pies
and things, but for the true spirit
of hospitality and neighborliuess
for which this country is noted

be Of some help to consider the matter. If
the cause is something over which you
have no control it is obvious that worrying
will not help the matter in the least. On the
other hand, if within your control you have
only to act. When you have a cold and

BOYS FOOT CUT OFF,
Frederick Dawless Meets With Serio

Frederick Dawless Meets With Serious
Accident at Spring Street Crossing.
Fourteen-year-old Frederick Dawless,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick w.
Davies Of 21S Greenwich avenue. met
with sad accident late Saturday af-
ternoon while playing on the railroad
tracks at the Spring street crossing
with some companions. 1t was the
boys first experience at such play and
ne was unused to the excitement and
thunder Of the trains.
The lad, together with his compan-
ions, was jumping on and off the NOV
ing trains in the Howard avenue cut,
and the success with which he met en-
boldened him. He tried to get on a
freight which was moving faster than
the others and he did not gauge it's
speed properly.
He caught hold of the rapidly moving
car and was jerked from his feet. An
other moment and he had lost his hold
ana down beside the rolling wheels he
went. His left foot was caught on the
track and heavy freight car crushed
1t to a pulp. His agonized screams
brought his companions to him and
they summoned aid.
The ambulance from the New Ha-
ven hospital was summoned. The little
fellows foot had to be amputated above
the ankle.
Last evening the boy was resting
comfortably.

AFTERNOON SERVICE,

The services in the afternoon were
well attended. They consisted prnci-
pally of short congratulatory addresses
by Bishop Goodsell, Mayor studley and
Rev. DIR. w. L. Phillips. Rev. Mr.. Hill
er, pastor of the church, introduced
Professor II. w. Rogers as presiding
officer. Professor Rogers, after refer
ring to the significance of such celebra-
tions among other things said that SAL
utations and congratulations on occa-
sions such as this are not merely for
looking backward on what has been &C.
complished in the past, but your decen-
NAL occurs in the same year as the two
hundredth anniversary of John Wesley.
If there was one request more than an
other that would ask of you it would
be to study the life Of John Wesley,
whose duty it was to bring back print
tive Christianity. That was the great
need of the church to-day. Professor
Rogers concluded by introducing May
or Studley, who made a few remarks
regarding the earlier days of our coun-
try. When the red man predon1inated
and churches were unknown some
countries, he said. believed in the
church and state going together. But
in this country we held different views,
but they were at one on the point that
without the church the state could not
exist. Why, he asked, do we prepare
for war in times of peace? With our
higher civilization comes wealth, and if
1t wasn't for our wealth we would have
nothing to fight about, and the more
churches we have the less fear we have
of wear. The mayor finished his re-
marks by congratulating the members
of the Epworth church on the great
amount of good which they had accom-
plished in New Haven during the past
ten years, and wished them Godspeed
and success for the future.
Rev. DR.. w. L. Phillips, Of the Church
of the Redeemer, was the snext speak
er. DR.. Phillips spoke of the real pleas
l1re it afforded him to be present, and
in humble way take part in the SER
vices He congratulated the church on
the ten busy, prosperous and fruitful
wears of it's existence. He spoke of the
time when the present beautiful struc-
ture, which was now clear of debt, was
only a vision in the minds of a few of
the faithful members of the old edifice
that then stood on the present site. He
was present at the laying of the corner
stone and at the dedication services.
In speaking of the criticisms that were
showered upon the church at times. DR..
Phillips said men forget Of what the
church is composed. 1t is conserva-
tive and constructive force in the COM
munity, never entering into politics, but
always on the side of good government.
The church is the fountain of brother
illness. 1t is the church's business to
secure the best ministers. to supply the
best of sacred music, to sustain acts of
benevolence and to continue making
men better, because God was with her
and in her
Bishop Goodsell made few inspiring
remarks in which he referred to his
