WATERFORD.


George Williams who lives alone in a
small house in the upper part of the
town, was burned to death early Tues
day morning. He came home from Lit
Teton the night before and about
O'Clock yesterday morning the neighbors
discovered the house in flames. Fearing
that Mr.. Williams might be in the flames
the neighbors rushed into the house but
life was extinct before they could reach
him. He was about 55 years old and un-
married. 1t is said that he had been
drinking heavily and probably never
aroused after his house caught fire.

Minnie MOuse's Misadyenture.
BY PUSH.

Minnie Mouse peered cautiously from
the hole in the floor. near the dining
room door, and. finding the coast clear,
seampered half way toward the dining
table. There were some crumbs under
the table which she coveted, but she
hesitated about getting them, for, sit

didn't seem to be small to Minnie
Mouse, who was so much more dlminu-

looked up at the little man towering so
high in the air, and her eyes sparlled
with questions while her whiskers
moved so comically that Baby Bunting
laughed. This assured Minnie Mouse.

AS she glanced over her shoulder Bobby

At first Minnie Mousie feared the

and plunged into the hole In terror,
but on thinking 1t over she concluded
maybe the baby meant no harm, and

said Bobby Bunting.
Then you can't have an idea of the
agony we endured. But our entire life
has been a succession of such terrors
After papa's death mamma had to seek
things for us to eat, and kept us sup
piled for a time. But one night we
heard snap and knew she had been
caught in the trap. We could hear her
struggles for several moments, while

the manager he was surprised and sorry
to see the old cat had gone, but there
in its cosy bed lay the baby sound

find time to return to the manager till
after luncheon.
After his father had eaten and gone
his old aunt had not returned to lunch
Charlie again visited the cowshed,
carrying with him a dainty dinner for
old Chumlet of bits of meat and egg,
with another saucer of milk. He found
her lying in the midst of her noisy little
family, purring to them contentedly.
When she rose from the deep bed In the
hay to partake of the food. Charlie saw
that fourth kitten had arrived during
his absence. And what a kitteni black

the sprightliest thing too, that Charlie

stand how lonely I GET
For a moment old Aunt Matte stood
by the door conscience-stricken. Per-
haps she and her brother had both been
a BIT hard on Charlie. But they had
not really intended 1t so. They were
rearing him as they had been reared,
along hard, practical, but conscientious
lines. 1t had been their desire to make
a Woodworking, honest man of him, but
perhaps their methods had some flaws
in them. Another side of the problem
of child-training now presented itself to
her mind. So often she had deplored
Charles mothers lack of dignity with
her child, for 1t had been her way to be
a child with him. engaging In all his
infantile play and pleasure. and only
demonstrating with him In a sweet, per-
suasve manner when the little fellow
became refractory, whereas old Aunt
Matte had advised the rod and severe
seedlings instead But the gentle mother
had maintained that love would con-
quer where harshness would fall. Sup
pose. after all, that poor. delicate. child
ish mother had been right. Thus rea-
soned old Aunt Matte.
'And you, dear old Chumlet," said
Charlie. his voice breaking in on Aunt
Mattie's self-examination. you are a
good, loving old kitty-cat, and we'll have
the greatest times every day as soon
as my lessons are learned and chores
done-if-if Aunt Matte"
Don't be afraid of your old aunt Mat,

ly to Charles side and put an arm
about his shoulder. You may keep your
kittens, and the old woman cat, too,
and your old aunt will try to be a bit
young again and occasionally take a
hand at training them In good manners.

dumplings l ever laid eyes on, anyway.

VICTIM OF THE STORM.
Horse, Sleigh and Driver Buried in
Deep Snowdrift-Man Frozen
to Death.

Winsted. Conn, Jan. 2s.-Sitting up
right in a sleigh, in which he had started
Wednesday night, during the snow
storm, to drive from this borough to his
home in Walcott, the body of Jacob Suls-
koski. aged 35, was found by men who
were breaking out the snow-filled high
way. Sulsk oki had apparently frozen to
death. The horse attached to the sleigh
was still alive when found, but was 50
badly frost-bitten that it will probably
have to be Eilled. Horse, sleigh and
driver were concealed entirely under a
ten-foot snowdrift.
