produce them in such a way as to retain
their character and their more or less faded

The sending to America of reproductions
of fine tapestries Is due TO the initiative
taken by the Kaiser. Not content with
sending on replicas OF the wood and panel
work of the Charlottenburg Castle, of which
the German building at the worlds fair is
a COPY. his Majesty has given orders TO
make the inside of the structure even more
complete by decorating 1t with copies of
four magnificent historical tapestries.
These tapestries (gobelins. as the French
call them) have had an interesting history.
When the edict of Nantes drove many of
the French Huguenots to the Mark Brand
enbure. they brought with them many USE

 The theme of Rev A. H. Posts ser mon here, last Sunday morning, was s'The True Soldier" and we'll did he maintain that to pass through life we must constantly be fighters of wrong and temptation, ready at all times tc assail or repulse the arch enemy on any and every side. He who thus fights manfully is conqueror for time and for eternity.
 George N. Beardsley was at his home here from New Britain over Sunday and Decoration day. He went from here to Hartford on Tuesday morning The passing of automobiles on our streets was quite frequent last Sunday and the prospect is good for seeing more about the Lake this season than ever before.
 The Lakeside Inn was crowded with guests last Sunday.
 Leroy Wilson of Philadelphia, Pa., was at his fathers Lakeside hotel over last Sunday.
 MT and Mrs Thomas Rienhard, of New York City are expected at F. s. Browns cottage in this village, this week, known as the Cramsay cottage. They have rented the same for the summer.
 William Smith of Newtown was in the village, for few hours, Sunday.
 Work on the church progresses nearly to completion, this week. Har- old Beeman, boy of IS years, has done the painting of the spire, 80 feet in height, giving it two coats, the most daring feat successfully perform ed by so young person here in years. With his swing seat he has seemed to work as easily as on the ground and standing on the top ball he evinced no more fear than walking in the street. Such nerve is to be commended but impossible of emulation on the part of the majority of people. Harold seems capable.of performing any job he un- dertakes and we predict for him, with good health and steady application, a satisfactory future in any good calling he settles upon.
