DOMESTIC NEGLECT.

The Tragedy of Little Things That
Are Left UndOne.
The judge and spectators in a Kan
sas City courtroom laughed when a
husband testified that his wife gave
him only "mechanical Kisses
Then the lawyers devoted many min
utes to the question, What is a me-
chanical kiss?" They decided that it
was a salutation given only through a
sense of duty. and then they laughed
some more.
They didn't go far enough. They
might have called it tragedy.
With most women affection lasts. 1t
burns as strongly in old age as in gold
en- youth. A caress means a world of
joy to them.
Some men forget. They grow care
less. Carelessness is often q species of
selfishness. Once it was a privilege to
press a lovers kiss on the lips of a
wife at the door when leaving in the
morning. again as warm greeting
that always marked the Homecoming
at night.
And one morning the man forgot the
caress and lost himself in business.
And shadow fell OH a romance, and
the woman wept. She tried to be brave
and sensible. She tried to laugh at the
silly fear that he didn't care for her.
She assured herself a hundred times
that it was such little thing and that
it was natural for him to forget and
that it was unreasonable for her to ex-
pect the joy of the honeymoon through
life. She wiped away her tears and re-
solved to hide her grief and be kind,
loving, patient.
And the man never knew. Perhaps
some day he went into court and COM
planned that he had been the recipient
of mechanical KISSES" Domestic neg
lect isn't always confined to lack of
food and clothing Cruelty doesn't al
ways take the form of physical abuse.
When men learn to think, when they
remember that the little attentions Of
ten mark the difference between joy
and sorrow in a, woman's life, there
will be more real happiness in the
world.-Milwaukee Journal.

the original members of the Dorclies-

moval little later); settled about
one fourth mile north of the present
Congregational church. His house
was said to be one of the best of its
time in Windsor. He died 1858,
leaving seven children. According
to the record taken from the old fam
lily Bible by Isaac Pinney's great
granddaughter, Mrs. Martha A. (Con-
verse) Gaylord, Isaac married Susanna
Phelps, born at Hebron, 1871, and
both died at Stafford, where Isaac
had been judge of probate more than
30 years, a deputy to the general
assembly several times and captain in
the colonial wars. He died in 1871,
she in 1895. They had Susanna,
Oliver, Lydia, Sarah, Isaac and DAN
iel. Some of the descendants have
been prominent in Stafford and vicin-
ity Through Nathaniel, son of
Humphrey the emigrant, Nathaniel,
Jr., Joseph, John and John, Jr., come
the mother of Judge g. G. Parkess,
and her sister, the mother of the late
Nelson Emo; the latter's father being
also on the mothers side grandson
of Capt. Aaron Pinney of Scotland
parish, Simsbury; another descendant
of Nathaniel aforesaid, through Ma
thaniel, Jr., and Abraham Pinney.
Aaron married Martha Bidwell, and
was captain in the revolution. The
Rockwells of Stafford descend from
early settlers of Windsor. AS Wind
sor people bought Indian lands in Toll
land and Ellington, and later bought
Union lands, many Windsor families
settled in Stafford.

Sport comes in as Il sort of safety

A COMIC TRAGEDY.
The Audience Was Ready, but the
Show Was Tangled Up.

The Audience Was Ready, but the
Show Was Tangled Up.
John Banvard, who afterward be-
came famous as the painter of a great
panorama of Mississippi scenery, set
out in his boyhood, in the early thir-
ties, to travel down the Great Water"
In a. fatboat with number of compan-
ions They built their boat on the Wa
bash and were to pay their way by
exhibiting dioramic views in the cabin
at landings Unfortunately the can
delights were not then shining
through the sycamores along the Wa
bash, and before the Adventures reach
ed settled region they ran out of pro-
visions. In the woods they could find
nothing but papaws. luscious at first.
but quickly cloying.
For two days, wrote the sixteen
year-old Banvard. we had nothing
whatever to eat but those awful pa
paws. The very sight or memory OF
one made me shudder. Then. on joy
full. sunny afternoon, we approached
Shawneetown, ILL.,, OH the Ohio river,
where we were advertised to exhibit.
AS we came in we could see on the
bank a crowd of people. Some car
ried chickens, some eggs, some yams,
some potatoes, some "side meat" (ba-
COM and some cornmeal. Our dinner
was in sight, for all those things were
intended as payment for admission at
the door, and all were good"
Our stomachs hungered, and our
mouths watered for the feast; but
alas, we were too eager! Working our
boat toward land, we ran upon a reef
and stuck fast. Every effort to set us
free failed. Darkness came on, and be-
fore our eyes our 'house" disbanded
and went home, carrying our supper
with them.
Discouraged and forlorn, we turned
to our bag of papaws for what conso-
lation we could find and then went to
sleep In the night we floated free and
ut daylight were in the woods again
eight miles below those luscious pro-
visions. That was one of the most
awful tragedies of my life.
