ONCE a DAY
Thew Serve Chicken at This Hotel
in Accordance With a Will.


An old landmark to people
well acquainted in the city of
weston is the Bailey House, an
old hostelry which stands on one
of the principal corners of Main
street. Travellers who have stop
ped there on numerous occasions
have remarked that every time
they come to Weston and put up
at the Bailey house they have
chicken on the menu. Not only
do they have chicken on the
menue every time these travellers
strike the city, but the barnyard
bird is an article of food that can
be found on the table every day
in the year, in accordance with
the terms of an old and curio1s
document.
Many years ago the house was
built by James Bailey and by
him named the Bailey House
When the old man was about
ready to pass to the other shore
he called in his attorney and in
structed him to draw a will be-
queathing the property to his
grandson on one condition, which
must be maintained upon pain
of the loss of the property. The
condition inserted in the will was
this: 'eOn every day of the week,
Sunday included, chicken shall
be served at least once upon the
dining tables of the hostelry
known as the bailey House, and
which is herein conveyed and be-
queathed to my grandson. If he
desires to sell hosiery he shall
not permit the deed to be made
without the insertion of the
clause written above in this WILL
In accordance with the terms
of the will the grandson served
chicken at least once day, and
upon selling the property the
clause in the will was made part
of the deed. To this day the
fowl may be found upon the
table every day in the week and
twice on Sunday.

scientific Turkey Raising.

Only recently has science turn
ed its attention to, the Thanks
giving bird, but already it has
accomplished some wonderful
things in the culture and i'm
provement of that admirable
fowl, which in the opinion of
many has a better claim than the
baldheaded eagle to figure as the
national emblem.
On Fishers Island opposite
New London, Connecticut, and
not far distant, is the greatestand
most successful turkey farm in
the world. The island, one
might say, is an artificial wilder
ness of 1000 acres, scientifically
managed. Over this area thous-
ands of the birds roam in con-
dition so close to that of nature
that though a domesticated varie-
ty they are practically wild. No
shelters of any kind are provided
for them, the hen turkeys build
their nests in open, and, while
plenty of corn is supplied, it is
scattered about in all sorts of
places and even buried under
leaves, in order that the fowls
may be obliged to hustle for their
provender.
These turkeys attain gigantic
size, sometimes reaching weight
of nearly fifty pounds. In the
market at Thanksgiving time
4hey reach 10 cents a pound
more than ordinary turkeys
owing to their remarkably deli.
cious flavor.

SENATE COMPOSED OF RICH
Senators Should Be Elected by a
Direct Vote of the People

The following excerpt taken
from Governor Whites message is
very suggestive, and itindicates
that he may favor the selection of
United States Senators by direct
vote of the people
The legislature eff the state of
Iowa in March, 1904. adopted reso-
lutions fayoring an application to
congress of the United States of
America for the calling of con-
vention proposing amendments to
the constitution of the United
States. as provided in article v. of
said constitution. The general as
sembIy of Iowa favors tho adoption
of an amendment TO the constitu-
|:.ion which shall provide for the
election of the United State Sena-
tors by popular vote, and joins
with other states of the Union in
respectfully requesting that CON-
vention be oaIIed for the purpose
of proposing an amendment to the
constitution of the United States
to this effect Their action has
been officially called to my atten-
ton for the purpose of bringing
the matter to the attention of the
legislature of this State.
While Governor White makes
no recommendation, he hardly
would have called attention to the
subject had it not made favorable
impression upon his mind. Evi-
dently he desired to bring the
matter before the people and let
them think it over carefully until
some future time, when. perhaps,
they may participate in righting a
wrong.
AS an illustration of the fact
that none but rioh men. with very
few exceptions. can enter the por-
tails of the senate the election of
Ex-Governor Bulkely, of Connecti-
cut, yesterday to succeed Gen
Hawley is cited. That little com.
monwealth has for many years
been represented in the upper
house by one of the heroes of the
OWL war, an editor, but he is now
suoceeded by the head of one of
the largest insurance comp mics
in the country. Another recent
example is the successor of the
late Senator Hoar. of Massachu-
sets, who can't even talk in GLASS
meeting, who measures his wealth
by millions.
