 Suit for s25,OOO damages has been brought by Loren A. Barnes, well known Torrington druggist, against Dr. William H.

 The suit is returnable to the March term of the superior court for this county. The. writ was served yester- day by Deputy Sheriff Spiegel, and property belonging to the defendant on Elm street and in the City bank was attached.

prepared at the different church,
es to give words of good cheer,
and many there were who took
advantage Of the opportunity Of
Tered to hear a good sermon.
But for these seasons set apart
Tor our good we might loose our
ideals. The turning aside, "from
the beaten paths if only for q
short time, is always helpful es-
pecially SO, are thesfestivities of
Thanksgiving. The most large
ly patronized entertainment of
the week was the 'Deestrick
Skule, which was given at
the , Opera House on last
Wednesday evening by amateurs
to help our Public Library. Be-
sides this play, there was a card
party, dance and dinings ga
lore-and taken as whole the
week was brim full of pleasure
and far from being spent in vain.
Mrs. William Haden Brooks,
who has made for herself an en-
viable reputation as a charming
hostess, added new laurels to her
entertaining qualities when she
received h Married Ladies

The enthusiasm over football
could not be any greater and at
che same eimo prejudice against
the game is gaining ground in
many of the largest Universities
and Colleges in the North and
East. During the past week CO.

game as played st present, and
Il is thought that many other
institutions will follow the ex- {
ample. 1t is agreed that the e
way the game IS played now, is 5

FRUIT TREES FOR SHADE.
The Various Kinds That Are Used
Along the Public Highways
Of Germany.

The German method of using fruit
trees for shade trees along the public
highways is not only to be commended
on the score of beauty, but from the
material, practical financial point Of
view as WE'LL says the New Bedford
Standard. In the grand duchy of Baden
cherry, apple pear and walnut trees are
planted 80 feet apart along each side of
the road. special department of the
government having charge of the work
and maintaining two large nurseries
for the propagation of young trees.
When the fruit is ready for harvesting
it is sold at auction on the trees. The
years 1902 and 1903 were not especially
good fruit years over there, and yet in
1902 the crop from the highway trees
brought $9,O55 and in 1903 $5,731. In
view of the fact that the expenses of the
department for the two years were 81 $50
and S4.980, respectively, the fruit tree
shade tree policy seems to have much
to commend it.
In the matter of foliage the apple, the
pear and cherry tree do not compare
with the oak, the maple, the linden and
Others of our favorite shade trees; but
they could doubtless be sometimes prof
itably put to public use.

VERY CONSIDERABLE JUDGE.
Was Willing to Let Condemned Man
Hang at Any Time That
Suited Him.

Representative Keno, Of Kentucky,
tells of a considerate judge in his state
who passed sentence on man convicted
of murder, relates the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. The judge said:
Mr.. Dodson, the jury says you are
guilty of murder, and the law says you
are to be hanged. It is my wish that you
and all your friends on the river know
that it is not l who condemns you; it
is the jury and the law Mr.. Dodson. At
what time, sir, would You like to be
hanged?"
The prisoner made answer that it was
a matter of Indifference to him. and that
he was prepared to be swung off at any
time. The judge continued:
Mr.. Dodson. it is a serious matter to
be hanged. 1t can't happen to man
but once in life, unless the rope should
break before the neck is broke, and you
had better take all the time you can.
But since it makes no difference to you,
you may hang four weeks from to-day at
II noon, but you may have good dinner
first"

"AUTOS" IN ASTRONOMY,
MOTOR Cars Fitted Up with Accessories
for Taking Observations of
New Stars.

In an article in La Nature, NJ.
Touchet tells us that automobiles arc
now being used by astronomers, and
he speaks of the new vehicles as "au-
tomobile observatories" 1t appears
that they are being fitted up with
all the accessories necessary for
astronomers who wish to make a spe-
cial study of shooting stars
Balloons have been tried for the OBJ
servation of these stars, but the results
obtained are not satisfactory, and it is
believed that the automobiles are des-
tined to render great services.
In 1903 experiments were made by
French astronomers who wished to
study the Leonides. NM Maurice Far
man and H. Chretien went by auto
mobile to Anthon-la-Plaine,l leaving M.
Touchet in the observatory at Chew
reuse. Since then great improvements
have been made in the vehicles them
selves and in the means of transport
ing the accessories.

ARE WIVES At FOURTEEN
In Persia Girls Enter the Matri-
monial State at Very
Early Age. 70; -

Persian girls marry at an early age.
It is a common thing to see girl be-
come bride at the age Of IA or. 16.
When a man reaches the age of 10
he prepares to marry. Every one
marries Tin Persia. Having seen the
young lady he likes, the Persian may
through her friends begin to cultivate
her friendship. Very often he ex-
plains the affair to his mother, and
through a professional match-make
they find out all particulars about the
young lady, and the social standing of
the girls parents. If pleased with
their investigation the mother under
takes to call at the house of the young
lady and before explaining her mis-
eion she notes carefully the girls ap-
pearance and her manners, how she
hands the tea and kalian, and takes
her leave only to return after the
lapse of three days accompanied by
her husband. They now ask the par
ents of the young lady and the girl
herself for her hand. If accepted they
kiss her and present her with an, en-
gagement ring and invite their friends
for the betrothal at which there are
feasts and rejoicing. The courtship
is short, and the couple are generally
married after a months engagement.
Marriages between cousins are not
only common, but generally turn{ out
to be happy.

HIS OLD LOVE LETTERS.
An Entertaining Instance Of the Gov

People VINO were present smiled at
the little passage at arms which took
place between two young ladies at a

says the Seattle acknowledgements.
One of them, bride, shaking hands
In her characteristic cordial way, said
to the other: I'm so glad to meet

much amusement just lately"
"Amusement?" said the other.
ooh, yes" went on the bride. 1--WE

I've read all his old love letters. I
found several very affectionate let
ters from you, and l enjoyed reading
them, really, ever so much
II am 80 glad you enjoyed them"
purred the other. But do come and
see me very soon. Here is my card.
I have. the answers to all those let
tiers, and you might like to read them
as we'll. Mr.. KS letters are so much
more affectionate than those wrote
to him. l know you'll enjoy reading
them ever so much more than you did
mine"
