Eloquent and Effective Plea.
Representative Hill OF Connecticut
had bill up for the relief Of a post
master in his district who had lost
money through the theft of stamps
from the postoffice. He showed that
one Of the thieves was serving time
in Illinois and one in New York. Rep.
resentative Boutell of Illinois came to
the rescue of Representative Hill and
made an eloquent plea for Hills claim,
beginning thus. ''Mr. Speaker, here Is
where Illinois and New York join
hands-through Joliet and Sing Sing
to help this worthy citizen of Con-

Common Sense VS.. Law.
Magistrate Crane of the police court
In Harlem, N. Y, thinks that when
the sanitary code comes into collision
with common sense II Is the former
that must give way. A negro was
brought before him charged with vio-

refers to beating of carpets, rugs, etc.
The magistrate discharged the prison

one on such a charge. 81 have my

CHRISTMAS PARTY
OF THE JUNIOR DANCING CLASS.

party given by Mrs Cole to her small
pupils on December % was a great
success. The children did remarkably
we'll considering the short period of in
Struction. The complications of "The
Polka" 1.-TWO Step' and the mystic

by the little feet in a manner that
told Of the painstaking, thorough train

probation of Mrs Coles delicate
method Of enforcing the rules of true
pOliteneSS and unSeltiSh consideration
for one another. The finest etiquette
must come from the heart, trained
from childhood to think for Others.
The programs were very pretty. A
dainty sprig Of holly decorated the
covers. Mrs TOmlinson painted them
for the children. Each pupil was pre-
sented with a souvenir. Refresh
ments were served between the dances
and the children with delighted faces
said 'good night" to their teacher. l

One thing which, with many others,
shows the great strides made by man
in the past century is the taking of
portion by portion away from the I'M
explored regions of the earth. A CEN
fury ago, in 1902, only about one-tifth
OF the earth'S land surface was known.
In 1902, more than ten-eleventhS of
the land of the planet has been map
ped with a fair degree of accuracy,
considerably less than one-eleventh re-
naming UNEMPLOYED. Nowhere except
at the north and south poles do I'M
known regions OF any great area re-
| owing to the persistent efforts of
| courageous men to invade them. The
unexplored area at the north pole is
approximately three million square
miles in extent, but necessarily very
| irregular in outline, various eXpedi-
tions having pushed their way to the
| pole much nearer in some places than
in others. When it is considered that
an approach has actually been made

parent that sooner or later that inter-
esting geographical point will be

ably safe to predict that it will be
Preached within the next 20 years.
This is another little sketch about the
pole. BY this time we hope that you
are becoming quite interested, for the
reserved seat tickets are already on
sale. You will find them with r. II.
Beers & Co. in Newtown Street, with
Taylor, Curtis & Co. in Sandy Hook,
with A. B. Brakeman in Botsford, and
with E. G. Platt in Hawleyville. In
anyone Of these places you will have
good selection of seats shown on the
charts. Thirty-tive cents admits an
adult and 25c admits one under fifteen
years of age. Every seat in the Town
hall is to be reserved. The title of
the lecture is "Peary's Progress to the
Pole" and the lecturer is Herbert L.
Bridgman, Secretary of the Peary
Arctic club, who has made two vOy-
ages far among the ice barriers that
block the way to the pole. The lee
ture is to be illustrated with views
that were taken right where there are

Is it not strange that the same name
is applied to things so different. Thus
when you wind up clock, it is to make
it go: but when you wind up a season
of gayety with a little party, that
means that that seasons fun is over.
Perhaps the last of the children s part

lie to the chime of the Christmas bells

parsonage when Edward Lloyd Barker

the children should come in a troop
and take the historic ministerial cita-

Miss Florence Beecher, Master Henry
Hall, Master Nelson Northrop, Master,
Tom Tomlinson and the host-one,

is to be held this friday evening,
January 2, 1903, at 7.3O O'Clock. The
