 The senior vice president, Mrs. Carrie A. House, of Hartford, said: ''I have watched your work, as we are twin sis ters with a membership of 23S, and as am secretary can synpathize with yours. We have a kind of circus on election days, but have good suppers every meeting night, the second and fourth Saturdays in each month, with an attendance of from seventy-five to eighty. So come up to supper any time, for we all know Admiral Foote to be model corps"
 Mrs. Annie D. Scantlin, junior vice president, said she felt like the younger of two brothers who applied for work, and the elder could do this and that. "WeI," said the gentlemen, turning to the younger, what can you do, my boy?" "Oh," replies the boy, my brother knows it all"
 Mrs. Chase told of the completion of their new building in Milford, which they hope to use for installation in Jam uary. She thanked the post and corps for coming over to the fair and giving them helping hand. She spoke of her desire for the cottage home for the old veterans.

realistic that 1t never fails to teach a moral lesson which is never forgotten The sensational breaking of mann moth suspension bridge is also fea- ture of the stage setting.
 John P Lockney as Cecil Newton made typical impersonation of a gambler and rogue, while Miss Pauline Fletcher as Rose Adair'' by her beauty and grace, as we'll as clever acting, cap tiyated her audience.
 The rest of the cast is also excellent.
 The big country production ''Sky Farm" stands upon record as one of the most interesting, sweetest, purest and brightest plays of it's class. It seems to excel particularly in fun and charming love-making and to have very few moments when there is any attempt to bring tears to the eyes are create any feeling Of sorrow. It has a plot, of course, which is just complicated enough to ensnare the attention of the auditor. but it's villainy is only intro duced to add the necessary contrasts to its moments Of rnerriment. The play is coming to the Grand opera house as the Christmas attraction on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 24, 25, 26. There will be a holiday matinee Christmas day and the regular matinee Saturday.

 Admiral Foote Woman's Relief corps No. had a red-letter day Wednesday. The department president, Mrs. Sarah E. Reynolds, and staff visited the corps by invitation. The visitors and mem
 bers of the corps took dinner at the Hotel Davenport, after which they at tended the regular corps meeting in G. A. R. hall, Court street. After the rou-
 tine business speech making was in or-
 der. -r v<<s~ The department president, upon being
 called for, responded with the usual
 compliments of the corps and said that,
 instead of telling some of her present work, she would tell of before they had
 an organization in the year '61. She went down south with her father-in-
 law to see her husband, who had been wounded. She was left with a good
 secesh family while her father went out to the camp. Growing restive she ven- tured out. She was timid girl in those days. She thought she would take a back street so as not to meet any soldiers, and she met a regiment. She was halted for her pass. She told a pitiful story and they let her pass. Proceeding further she was again halt cd and while telling her, story she heard voice behind her saying: "She be-
 longs here;" and looking around she
 saw Colonel J. N. Coe, now superin- tendent of the Soldiers home at Noro- ton. She stayed three weeks there and in Alexandria, Va, then went for eight months with the boys, when orders were received that all women should , be ordered home. The regiment was
 allowed to have two laundresses, so her friend and her became laundresses- drew rations, but made pies instead of
 washing, and she became so expert that she could go down into the city and even smuggle some good things
 into camp for the boys. Then the regi- ment was changed from infantry to ar-
 tillery; all the blue chevrons, stripes,
 etc., had to be altered to red. Then the
 Second Heavies were ordered to the ! front-1, 800 men and 300 prisoners. The boys drew their pay and the women
 were made the recipients of the treas
 ure for home, so that the box she sent
 by express cost s10. The regiment
 gone, the two women were asked when
 they would vacate. Her friend broke down after a kind corporal placed a
 guard for the night, as they could not leave till the next morning. They started next morning and reached home
 safely. Then the days of waiting and 1 anxiety. The battle of Cold Harbor ] followed and sixty were killed, missing
 and wounded, among them the pet boy
 of the regiment, sixteen years old.
 They never knew where he was buried.
 Just then the junior vice president
 arose and said, My brother was killed
 at Cold Harbor." So they went endur-
 ing the hardships, while the loved ones
 at home endured the agony of sus-
 pense.

ABOUT THE FORD COMPANY
ITS FOUNDATIONS LAID THREE QUARTERS OF 4 CENTURY AGO.


 Remarkably succsssfuI Career of One
 of New EngIand's Oldest and Most
 Noted Business HOusss-Both Pro'per-
 ous and Renowned-Fsaturss Of the
 Ford companyIs EstabIishment-The
 RsmodeIled Ford BuiIding-A Career
 of Honor.
 Nearly quarters of a century have left their mark on the disc of time since the foundations were laid for the present prosperous and renowned es- tabIishment of The Ford Company. Starting in a small way 72 years ago, in 1881, Barzillius Benjamin, trained silversmith in the period of Jabez Cor ham, the founder of the Gorham Mfg. CO. and shortly after the brilliant career of Paul Revere, who was also silyersmith, following John Dixwell, son Of John Dixwen of Regicide fame, who in the Paul Revere period was a conspicuous silversmith in Boston, was inaugurated the present house, which has continued the uninterrupted prog ress by its founders, successors along the lines of integrity, enterprise and business genius, which marked it's pre- decessors. At first in this period of his tory of the trade silver dollars were hammered into silver spoons. This was the beginning of our great silverware industries of to-day. When the Hon. James Brewster, a leading citizen, and patron of the New Haven Orphan Asy- lum, grandfather of the present Bish- op Brewster of Connecticut, completed iu 1S45 his then splendid building, cor ner Chapel and State streets beside the canal, the building was then as far in advance of it's time and sur roundings as are to-day the First Ma tional Bank, building as a business ven- ture or the distinguished bi-centennial buildings Of Yale. ~.... .-. <
 The store and surroundings have al- ways, been in advance of the times. Public demands and tastes have been educated by the high standard main tained. The premises have been en- larged, improved and restored and re- built from time to time, and The Ford Company has patronage extending all over the country. In 1901 the build ing, although substantially built on a Foundation wall four feet thick, of Quincy granite, was entirely rebuilt and reconstructed, and modernized, with steam heat, electricity, plate glass, and iron grills, with all that taste, ingenl- ity and strength demanded. =.
 During the past six months again extensive restoratio repairs and inn provements have been made on the ex- terior and interior of the building, from it's foundation walls to it's dome. The lower floor, a portion of the sec ond floor and the top floors are utilized by The Ford Company for their magni- ficent display, and for the manufacture of the various articles in gold, silver and other metals. Their showroons on the first and second floors are most enchanting, well known and con spicuous. No similar establishment ex- 7fsts in New England, and few are as complete in the metropolitan cities of the country.

Gumption VS.. camping,

The Century Dictionary says: "Gump-
ton is. clear. practical common sense"
That's annual dividends. And also
states that Gambling is to engage in
financial transactions or speculations
dependent for success, chiefly upon
chance or unknown contingencies. -
That's waiting a term of years for
your dividends. How far can you look
ahead? If any company asks you to
agree, to forego dividends for ten, tif-
teen or twenty years, don't do it. Get
your dividends annually. Pursue the
same rule in your insurance contracts
as IN other business matter. Insist on
an annual settlement of profits. Don't
speculate or gamble with your life in
surance-its too serious matter.
There are other more attractive ways
OF gambling. Hon. William A. F'ricke,
formerly insurance commissioner of
the state of Wisconsin, says: "All that
is vicious in the conduct of the bust
ness of life insurance, extrava1ant
competition, ETC., is chargeable to the
deferred dividend contract: All that is
good-eQuity, economy, actual COSTS
due to the annual dividend accounting
TO policy-holders. A. j. Flitcraft, ed
1tor Life Insurance Courant, says:
Looking backward over fifty years
of American life insurance records, the
fact stands out prominently that the
companies which have distributed an
nual shares of surplus (dividends) to
their policy-holders have furnished the
cheapest (to all policy-holders, not a
favored few life insurance. What
would you think of a merchant or bank
er who would take stock in a business
that read: Il hereby agree that no
profits shall be paid upon this stock
unless l am alive twenty years from
date of issue" You would think he had
poor head. Have you bought that
kind of insurance? If you haven't,
don't do it. Thousands of men have in
sured in that way, and died or been
forced to lose their policies before the
end of a ten. fifteen or twenty-year
dividend period, FORGETTING all dividends.
Get your dividends annually. There
are thousands of such cases all over the
country, victims of the speculative div
idend system. This is not attacking
insurance or companies, but a system
or method of certain companies used at
the expense of policy-holders. We
must have insurance. but let us do it
on the right principle, and not pay
such heavy toll to enrich large corpora
lions. Let us insure, but give us our
dividends annually. The Massachu-
sets Mutual writes only ANNUAL divi-
dend policies, and they provide for
every contingency. We would like to
submit a specimen policy and interest
ing reading matter, all we ask you to
do is to write requesting them to be
submitted, and mentioning your age
and address. Harty & Apple, man
