A JOKE ON ONE OF NEWTOWN'S s
 YOUNG TEN.

A peculiar occurrence took place: one evening, over one of the local tele- phones. A certain number was called about o'clock in the morning at the home of one of Newtown's popular young men. The young man quickly responded, thinking some ones hen nery was being burglarized. Therefore he did not don the required amount of clothing to keep his body the right temperature when the thermometer registered zero. Seizing the receiver with a grasp of terror, he shouted: "Halloo," at the top of his voice, when young lady's voice was heard at the other end exclaiming: "I'm having the loveliest time! I thought must tell you all about it," etc., and chatted on for about 10 minutes. When the young man was nearly frozen stiff he began to realize the joke, put up the receiver and went back to his slumbers, wondering who she could be.

A PROMINENT WATERBURY MANUFAC.
 TURER-A NATIVE OF NEWTOWN.

There are no rules for building char acter; there is no rule for achieving success. The man who can rise from the ranks to position of eminence is he who can see and utilize the oppor- tunities that surround his path. The essential conditions of human life are ever the same, the surroundings of in- dividuals differ but slightly, and when one man passes another on the high way to reach the goal of prosperity before the others who perhaps started before him, it is because he has the power to use advantages which prob- ably encompass the whole human race. To-day among the most prominent business men of Waterbury, who have made their own way in the world un- aided, is Ambrose H. Wells, manufac- turer of seamless tubing. He was born in Newtown, Fairfield county, Conn.,, March 26, 1857, and is a grandson of David Wells.
 Emory Wells, father of our subject, was also of Newtown. Ambrose H. Wells was reared in his native town, and acquired a limited education in the district schools. At very early age he commenced earning his own living by working at farm labor, and later learned the blacksmith's trade, which he followed until coming to | Waterbury in 1862, when he entered | the brass mills of Brown Brothers as foreman in their tube department, re- maining there l9 years. He then en- gagged in the flour and feed business on Harrison alley near South Main street, Waterbury, for two years, but not meeting with success in that ven ture, he sold out his business and again entered the employ of Brown Brothers as foreman. A year later be started in business for himself on the Watertown road, in Waterbury, and in 1893 built large factory, wbere he has since engaged in the manufacture of seamless tubing, it being the only manufactory of the kind in the town He has well-equipped plant, costing him over S50,O00, and furnishes em. ployment to more than 40 men. En- terprising, energetic and indus strious he has achieved well-merited success in life, and is now enjoying comfort able competence.
 In Newtown, Conn.,, MT Wells wa' united in marriage with Miss Evelint Judson, native of that place, and { daughter of Zenas J. Judson, and tt them were born five sons, all of whom are with their father in business
 Four sons are married and are settled near the fathers business, one beinl still single.
 MT Wells is a member of King Sol omon's lodge, F. & A. M., of Wood
 bury; and is identified with the dem ocratic party and is member of the board of finance of the city of Water
 bury. He and his family occupy al enviable position in the best socia circles of the community in whicl
 they reside.

Much is said in these days of the fellowship and unity of Christians, but not so much is done to carry the saying out. Here is a chance right in our midst to show that the followers of Christ are in heart and spirit one. A Fellowship meeting is to be held in the Newtown Congregational church on Tuesday of next week, March ', to which Christian people of all faiths are most cordially invited. There were Mounts of Transfiguration in the Christ-life where common things were for the while forgotten and eternal glories broke full upon the view; and in every life, however humble, these Heaven-catching glimpses may come. Let us all try to make this fellowship meeting such help by the way for us all.
 The following is copy of the pro- gram which has been widely sent out. Will you not consider, friend, that it is personal invitation from the pas tor of the Newtown Congregational church to you?
