the town, but for years they had been
destitute of horses, cattle, and other
domestic animals.
Mr.. Putnam had disliked dogs be-
cause they killed sheep, and Mrs. Put
nam detested cats. For years no chan
ticleer had awakened echoes during
the morning hours, and no hens or
chickens wandered over the neglected
farm. The trees in the large orchard
had not been pruned for long time,
and the large vegetable garden was
overrun with grass and weeds.
Back of the orchard and the vegeta-
BILE garden, and to the right and left
of the homestead, were 160 acres of
arabic pasture and woodland, the
whole forming what could easily be
made the finest farm in the town.
The farm had been neglected simply
because the income from her invest
ments was more than sufficient for the
support of the family. The unexpend-
ed income had been added to the prin-
cipal, until Mrs. Putnam's private for
tune now amounted to fully $4,000,
invested in good securities, together
with the house and farm, which were
free from mortgage.
When the first streaks of morning
reached the room in which Mrs. Put
nam lay upon her bed of pain, she seiz-
ed one of her crutches, and pounded
vigorously upon the floor. In short
time Samanthy Green entered the
room. She was buttoning up her dress
as she came in, and her hair was in

 White House in January.is the frontis- piece of the May Century. It is thought to show the President at his best, and is accompanied by short article by Francis B. Leupp, entitled "A Related Recognition, which in- cludes a political incident in the life of the President. Apropos of the ex- pected dissolution of Parliament, the leading article in the number deals with the House of Commons, under the title, ''The Mo ther of Parlia- ments,'' the writer being Henry Nor man, M. F., and the illustrator Andre Castaigne. Thus written and illus trated, the article throws flashlight upon the inner workings of the great legislative bodies of Great Britain.

Three remarkable gatherings of Civ

Three remarkable gatherings of Civ- il war veterans were held in Hartford. Wednesday night, amid scenes of pa triotic enthusiasm, which scarcely have been equalled in Connecticut since the return of many of these same men from battlefieldS of the south. Of the assembled bodies the most dis tinctive was that of the Society of the Army of the Potomac, which met in annual reunion and convention at the state capitol, and over which Ma jor-General John R. Brooke, U. s. A., presided. The chief figures in this group of gray-haired men were score or more of famous generals and field officers of the Amry of the Potomac, who here met, for the first time ina great many instances, men who fought in the ranks of their individual con- mands. In another hall not far dis tant, the department encampment of the G.. A. R. was held, with Depart
 ment Commander Morgan G. Bulke- ley presiding. It was the best attend
 reason of the desire of the COnnecti
 cut men to give to the Potomac vet erans hearty welcome. While the gatherings were held separately for the transaction of business, the con- rades fraternized throughout the day and finally met in a general campfire at,Parson's theater, at which the scene was intensely interesting. The well come of the state was given by Gov Abiram Chamberlain, to which Major General Brooke responded in behalf of theu Army of the Potomac. One feature of sthe campfire was the singing of war songs and an:ncident was:the presentation to Department Commander Bulkfey of a loving cup. During the sessions of the two bodies new officers were chosen, Gen Horatio 0. King, for 25 years it's secretary, being chosen president. and W. c. Hillard of New Britain being 1uade department commander of the G. A. R. In honor of this occasion the city was gaily bedecked and Wednesday, night it was fairly abaze with lights, upwards of 3O, GOO elect tric lights having been worked into the general decorative scheme of the streets and prominent buildings.
