Pork Barrel MANY Years Old

A pork barrel in use for 225 years
was recently discovered in Torrington.
Conn, says the New York Sun. The
relic that has been the burial place
Of succeeding generations of Connect
cut hogs belongs to Uri Whiting, to
whom it was presented lately by Luz
clan Burr, who removed from Torring-
ton to Stratford within the last few
weeks. 1t had been a part Of the
Burr family furniture for over eighty
years. According to the record that
goes with the barrel, Zebulon Curtis
took It into Torrington when he re-
moved from Kensington in .1743. At
that time it was recorded as being 100
years old. Since then 1t has been in
constant use and has been handed
down through the family by succeed
Ing generations. The barrel is not only
well preserved. but is said to have
acquired delicious flavor.

CONSIDERED AS FINAL
Presidents Reiteration in Oppo-
sitien to Third Term.
CAUSES GOSSIP AT CAPITOL
Senators and congressman Have vari-
Gus Ideas Of the Statement
and Its Probable Effect.

Washington, Dec 12.The rean-
nouncement by President Roosevelt
that under no circumstances will he
be candidate for reelection or ac-
cept a third term was the subject of
great deal of discussion at the Capitol,
probably more SO in the house than in
the senate The senators, as a rule,
expressed qualification that the pro-
nouncement had come at last and a
large majority of them remarked that
they knew it would be that way"
However, there were very few earnest
discussions over the statement and
its effects. Senator Bourne, the SEN
ate champion of the third term move
ment, arrived at the Capitol late and
talked with very few senators in the
short time he was about the chamber.
He still believes that President Roose-
welt will hear the command of the
people. Whether he will obey or not
is another question with Mr.. Bourne.
In one little senatorial group on the
Republican side the belief was ex-
pressed that the declaration of Mr..
Roosevelt makes the nomination of
Mr.. Bryan by the Democrats pretty
certain and a belief was guardedly
hazarded by one Republican senator
that he might possibly be elected.
One of the Illinois senators remarked
that the way was now cleared for
Speaker Cannon to receive the nom
nation. A number of senators ex-
pressed their disgust that there should
ever have been any question about the
presidents sincerity when he an
nounced his intentions in regard to a,
third term just after his election.
Every query on this subject since.
then has impugned the president as a,
teller of falsehoods,' said one senator,
"and such action is certainly not Civ
Ing him fair treatment

FOR SANTA CLAUS
Postmaster General Issues Or.
ders for Their Delivery.

Washington, Dec. 14.-In past years
many communications have been re-
ceived by the postofice department
requesting delivery of so-called "San-
ia Claus letters to philanthropic so
cieties and others in various parts OF
the country, but the requests have
always been denied, the department
taking the stand that letters of i'm
portance would be classed with the
Santa Claus letters through error.
Now, however, Postmaster General
Meyer has adopted a more liberal at
titude toward the children, as indi-
Gated by his action in issuing an or
der to postmasters all over the coun-
try Ito whom letters full of trust and
pleading are coming in such numbers
from the little Ones) to let the people
in their cities know through the
newspapers that mail addressed to
Santa Claus will be delivered to any
responsible parties who will under
take to act as Santa Claus agents In
the matter. The order follows:
Ordered, That hereafter and until
the close of Jan. 1, 1908, postmasters
are directed to deliver all letters ar
irving at their respective postofices
addressed plainly and Enthusiastically
to Santa Claus without any other
terms of expression Identifying the
person for whom such letters are in

charitable society in the city or town

philanthropic purposes. In the event
that claim should be made by more
than one such society for letters SO

Army Wagon Which insures Sterilized
Supply For Men In the Field.
Uncle Sam has adopted water
wagon for army use which even when
1t draws it's contents from a much
polluted stream provides his soldiers
with fine fluid with which to quench
their thirst, says Washington CORE
spondent of the Chicago Tribune. The
secret of this is that the wagon in
question is nothing more or less than
complete fltering and sterilizing
plant on wheels. This sterilizing
plant is equipped with q boiler for
making steam to operate the pump
and the sterilizer, complete set Of
boneblack filters and reservoir for
storing the sterile water. Along each
side are seven faucets. so arranged
that fourteen men can COW eniently
all their canteens at one time Only a
few minutes are required for an en-
tire regiment to obtain its water sup
ply.
From four to six mules are required
to draw this wagon. It's steam pump
will suck water from any stream or
well, and, no matter how muddy or
full of disease germs it may be, 1t will
automatically pass through the sys-
tenn and not only issue perfectly clear
and pleasing to the eye, but absolutely
safe as well. Through a most ingen-
ious arrangement it is discharged al
most as cold as when it entered.
