One cold winter day a fox who was
providing about looking 10 see where he
might steal his dinner, saw a wagon
coming. It was loaded with FISH. and
was driven by some fishermen. who were
taking home their days catch.
"Ah, hai" said the cunning fox Here
comes my dinner" and he fell down by
the roadside and pretended 20 be dead.
The fishermen, seeing him. picked him
up and threw him into the wagon among
the fish. Then the fox sIyly threw out
some fish. and when the fishermen were
not looking jumped out himself and
made of with the fish he had thrown
out
Pretty soon afterward he met a wolf.

4 BLESSED CHARITY

At the time when so many apples were vast. ing in the orchaI ds. the genera project of collecting some and sending them where the y would do good, was conceived by Mrs Louis the schools asking that the children be allow cd to help gather apples out of school hours The result was that 50 bushels of apples were sent to the New Haven Orphan Asylum and the railroad company carried them free of charge. Many letters of gratitude were re- ceived by children here from two orphan chil- dren. The following letter is a copy Of the member of the Board of Directressas and is for all the children who helped contribute ap- ples:
 Dear Apple Children:" A new name for you from the New Haven Orphan Asy lun children to whom you sent such a generous supply of del icious apples. In behalf of these boys and girls, l wish to thank you for tuls kind deed. know you were happy when gathering the fruit. but our children were happier when eating it. They can, see into they watch the apples with great care. ] have mailed some letters of thanks to your kind teachers which you can read. When our children's teachers gave ma these letters to- shall send every one." The boys and girls expressed pleasure with their bright faces watching me, as l suppose each one feared his or her letter might be put in the waste basket When: Jesus was on this earth. children and you are to follow His example am sure you have begun early in life to give of apples, "good measure, pressed, bound, and shaken together. and running over" This is the way Jesus told people to give The bags @ ths 1ns fS ths aG good, don't we?

THE CORNWALL ENTERTAINMENT
 COURSE.
 The Cornwall Entertainment Course has been able to secure an additional attraction to it's course for Tuesday evening, December 20. Garments Italian Boys, consisting of company of six members, with Ebert Poland, humOriSt, will appear at the Masonic hall, West Cornwall. This attraction is one of the best musical companies this side of the Atlantic and we are able to secure it only because of the fact that our entertainment course patronizes the White Entertainment Bureau of Boston and also that they passing through this section of the railroad between Pittsfield and Bridge port has ever had an entertainment that comes up to the standard of Car mems Italian Boys. The oldest mem- Der of the company, Carmen Fabrizio, is graduate of the New England Con- ServatOry and has studied privately with Guilo Desinoni, Cavaliere Au- cussto Rotoli and Prof Placido Fuinla- ra. They appear In full Italian cos tune and are all artists of the highest 1 ability in their line. Tickets can be purchased and reserved by out-of- town parties by telephone to J. A. Cochrane & Son, West Cornwall, Conn. It will be the chance of a life time to heal a company of this character. Be sure and attend as it will be moonlight night.
