OBITUARY
MERwIN PENDLEroN

Merwin Pendleton lived 24 years. He died in the Pittsfield Hospital, June 20. The nurses and doctors said, that in spite of his terrible suffering for seven months. he was the most patient of any one ever in the hospital.
 He joined the South Canaan church when the Rev. O. w. Hanna was its pastor and graduated from the D. Nj. Hunt School in 1901. Everyone liked him in Winsted during the three years. he worked there, and the members of the Christian Endeavor Society, of which he was an active member, stood by him during his sickness.
 His death was a triumphant one. He told his mother, he knew they would meet in another country. and he asked that the boys he knew best, be his pail bearers. and those young men were Masons
 The members of Masonic Brotherhood evidenced their friendship, and many of them went not only to South Canaan to his funeral, but also to the Cemetery in Cornwall Hollow, where his father was buried months before. There are two brothers left, Robert and Ohn Pen dleton. We can say to the mother: We who knew him are better for it, and we thank you for his Christian fear lessness, which is the heritage of his brothers and friends"

MANY FISH KILLED BY
 DYNAMITE CHARGES
SEVERAL BUSHELS WERE BURIED
It is Supposed to Have Been the Work of a Miscreant who Rebels Against the Law Which Restricts Fishing.

ISttliiY.
 The members of The Twin Lakes As sociation, as we'll as all fishermen in this vicinity are greatly incensed be- cause of the acts of lawlessness which took place at Twin Lakes last week.
 Some party or parties, whose identity has not been definitely established as yet destroyed thousands of fish there last week by use of dynamite.
 On Wednesday morning eight explo- sions were heard, five in one lake and three in the other. In the large lake the blasts were set off near the island. On Thursday morning five more explo- sions were heard. these between 6.S0 and TOO o'clock. On neither occasion was anyone seen. It is presumed that the miscreants used waterproof fuse and that the dynamite was exploded at a considerable depth.
 After the explosions, the shores of the lakes were lined with hundreds of dead bass, pickerel, perch, etc., ranging in weight from half pound to five or six pounds As far as could be seen from the shore dead fish lay on the bottom of the lakes.
 Game warden Ross of Canaan was notified, went to the lakes and ordered the fish taken from the water and buried. There is no way of ascertaining definite ly how many fish were killed but the number is supposed to be several thousands.
 There are reasons for believing the act was committed by some of the various fishermen in the vicinity of the lakes who rebel against what they term un- reasonable and high-handed restriction of fishing in these lakes, and took this means of getting revenge and defying the law.

A Strike for Good Roads.

A slogan has gone forth from tine
postcffloe department that is hav-
ing a wonderful effect throughout
the country 1t is, in concrete
form:
"Good roads or no rural free mail
delivery"
The time has arrived when the
government practically can dictate
its own terms concerning the rural
free delivery of mail. When the
rural free delivery was established
ebout decade ago, there was
scramble among congressman TO
induce the postofice department
TO give their districts the benefit
of the service. The department
officials knew very little of the diff.
oulties-and in some instances the
actual dangers-to be encountered
by rural carriers Many routes
were established through the infc.
ence of members of congress in
various parts of the country, that
eventually had to be abandoned,
because the roads, during at least
part of the year, were absolutely
impossible.

Look Into spae..

A young man whose eyes had been
troubling him consulted Kew York
oculist. What you want to do" said
the specialist. ''is to take a trip every
day on the ferry or in New Jersey,
Long Island-any place where you can
see long distances. Look up and down
the river. across fields or. if the worst
comes to the worst, go on the top OF a
skyscraper and scan the horizon from
that point. The idea is to get distance.
You use your eyes great deal and al
ways at close range. You can't use
them any other way In town. Even
when not reading or writing the vision
Is limited By small rooms and narrow
streets. No matter in what direction
you look, there is a blank wall not far
away to shut off sight"

Cleopatra.


The only authentic portrait of Cleo
patra that is known to archaeologists
is bust which appears on a series of
coins. 1t is on the reverse and bears
the inscription in Greek, Queen Cleo
patra, the Divine, the Younger" while
on the diverse is a portrait of IAN
tony, Dictator For the Third Time, Tri.
umvir.'' The workmanship of the colK
is far from good, and this accounts in
some measure for the undeniably plain
appearance of the queen. Yet the like
ness, as far as the features go, is a
true one, for the other coins of the
same series, though of different type,
give her the same features, an aquiline
nose, a strong chin, long neck and
narrow shoulders. The fact is that her
beauty was not so remarkable as one
would think from the spell she cast
over Caesar and Antony. Plutarch.
for instance, tells US that her beauty
in itself was by no means incompar
able nor calculated to amaze those
who saw her." but adds that the mag
netlc charm of her manner, the grace
fulness of her movements, the persua-
siveness Of her conversation and her
figure were most attractive.

The obedient professor left the room.
Five minutes elapsed. then ten. finally
fifteen. until the woman saw that she
