Would Like to be [" Shown"

The pure food law which took effect the first of the year has caused the druggists in this section considerable un- easiness for the reason that the many conflicting reports relative to its pro. visions has made it impossible for them to know just what to do relative to the patent medicine stock on hand January lst. Most of them went through their stock and made n designating mark on all such bottles and packages. They have now received notices from the wholesale drug firms that Uncle Sam will not molest the retailer who has a quantity of this medicine on his shelves but the manufacturer is the fellow the government will cause to toe the chalk line. And now the medicine man will raise the whine of "oppres sion" and want his advertising for less money than ever. He will pay rates in Canaan, however.

A Forg otten Industry

There are probably very few people ill this vicinity who know that this village once boasted of hat manufactory. It was conducted by the late Harvey Couch about 50 years ago in a building then located just south of s. A. Eddy's yresi- dence, this building being moved a few years ago by MT. Eddy to the rear of hi s house. Among the hats made was a kind called fur and of the stove pipe style. H. D. Humphrey has two of these hats which have never been worn except at few. entertainments. He will be glad to show them to anyone who is in- terested.

TRIALS AND AFFILIATIONS.
But All is We'll That Ends Well-A Rail-
 road Journey.

road Journey.
 One evening last week a Connecticut man started for his home in Albany, N. Y. He wanted to go from Canaan via. Pittsficld, Mass, but found that the N. Y., N. H. & H. train was half hour late with prospect of being another quarter hour behind time at Pittsfeld. Then he decided to go vla. Millerton on the o. N. E. road, He found the O. N. E. train 30 minutes late, but that did not disturb him as there is ordinarily about 45 minutes between c. N. E. and Harlem trains at Millerton The c. N E. train rolled into Canaan at the expiration of 30 minutes and he clambered aboard. Then 1t waited 15 minutes more for a train to arrive from the opposite direc- tion. Thus all the time that the man would have waited at Millerton was con- sumed. It finally started, ran short distance and consumed 12 minutes more taking coal and water ill the Canaan yard. The passenger was discouraged by visions of a night and part of the next day spent in Millerton instead of with his family at home. Millerton was final ly reached and the Harlem train was found to be one hour and twenty min utes late, and in all probability the Al bany connection lost at Chatham.
 He found himself slightly better off, as by spending the night at Chatham he could reach Albany several hours earlier the following day than by starting from Millerton. Chatham was finally reached and the passenger discovered that the Boston & Albany train from Pittsfield was away off schedule and it did not arrive until a half hour later
 Thus it happened that by a fortunate combination of circumstances he was able to reach home that night. All pas sengers, however, are not so fortunate and many's the fellow who pays hotel bill he don't anticipate when he starts out on a journey as result of this mod ern railroading.

A Hotel Hermit.

1t seems a curious thing that man
should choose one of London's largest
and busiest hotels for hermitage. Yet
for years a man lived in one Of these
famous hostelries absolutely secluded
from the world without and within. He
occupied the same rooms for twenty
years. and the only time that he left
them was at each midnight, when he
went out for air and recreation. which
he took in an open square near by. He
never spoke to any one in the hotel, ex.
cept one of the proprietors and his
waiter, who served him faithfully for
the score of years he spent under the
same roof with them. He never receiv
ed visitors. and no letter or cOmmuni-
cation was delivered to him during his
sojourn there. Despite all the mystery
surrounding him and his remarkable
silence, the man went through life in
an otherwise sane way. He had plenty
of money, apparently. as bis bills were
paid promptly, but no one knew where
the money came from.-N. Y. Herald.
