Uncertainty

means that which cannot be relied upon. For instance, we are going to have state and national elections in a few months. Some ward "heelers' say Billy Bryan will be our next president, while other "curbstone spouters" say poor old plain Bill Taft will occupy that white house chair; but it's UNCERTAIN, and. by the way, there are some economists who believe poor old "Bill' should
 ret left because they claim the great
 Id glorious United States will be compelled. to purchase a chair large enough for him. We'll, such is UN- CERTAINTY. Then, again, they tell us MT Lilley, who is looked on as the lily of our valley, will be our next governor. We heard one man say he'd have little use for our val ley if it was filled with such lilies, hence MT Lilley's UNCERTAINTY. That same man was asked did Billy" Thoms (our city's mayor) suit him, and he said not unless he'd veto that ''Cinder park" S2OO,000 appropriation, hence MT Thoms's s UNCERTAINTY. But there's no ua- certainty at our store, because every purchase is guaranteed satisfactory or money back.

9 YEAR OLD BOY ENDOWED.
He's the GO" of a New Freeman & Co and Purchasers of Business Sue.

New York, Aug 22-Vice-Chan- cellor Howell at Newark yesterday made an order restraining Claus Mill Ter, Jr, 9 year old boy, from con tinuing in the trucking and carting business. The boy has been the company" in the copartnership firm of Freeman & Co, at 53 Prospect street. The order also enjoins the boys father. Claus Miller of 151 Sec ond street, and Marshall G. Freeman of Wallace street from continuing in the business until May 12. 1914.
 The elder Miller sold a trucking and carting business for $9,500 to J. Frank Crawford, who in the deal was acting for John G. Crawford and Asa Duckworth. The sale included the trade name of c. Miller & Co and the good will. By the terms of the bill of sale MT Miller covenanted not to engage in the same business within ten miles of Newark for a period of ten years from the date of sale.
 It is alleged in the complaint that some time since 1906 Claus Miller caused a copartnership to be formed under the name of Freeman & Co, for which Miller furnished the capi- tai. The company, the bill states. consisted of Marshall c. Freeman and Claus Miller, Jr, the latter then only ' years old. It is alleged that the management of the business was taken over by Miller, that Miller used the name of his son to conceal his own participation in the business and that Freeman had knowledge of the restrictive covenant.

Old Glory floated from the flag staff at Hamilton hall, Mill Plain, last evening, in honor of the seventh anniversary of Court David B.

Hoggett gave a history of the court from the date of its organiza- tion. showing the amount of money received, the disbursements and the balance on hand. The court is strong in numbers and on substantial basis financially, so much so that in a short time it is likely to be at the head of the list. After some re- marks by the lecturer the meeting was turned over to Deputy J. H.. Freney, who had charge of the mu- sical and literary entertainment, which was pronounced the best ever given in the hall. The court fur nished an excellent menu. and con- ducted the affair in a manner which won praise on all sides, the guests being unanimous in pronouncing the entertainment worthy of the court and the man for whom 1t is named.

NEW FIRE AUTO
Is Now In Readiness 10 Rush
 at First Fire Alarm.

The new auto car to be used by Chief Snagg of the fire department arrived here yesterday afternoon. It is 30 horse power, painted red and marked Chief w. F. D." E. H. Towle, Chief Snagg and Commis- sioner Lewis, rode in the car from New Britain to Waterbury and the way 1t covered ground was eau tion. At Hartford, an officer held them up and wanted to know about their license number, but af- ter the blue-coated Capitol city guardian of the public peace was in- formed that fire apparatus was ex- empt from that provision the cop took wise and marched off to look up something else to do.
 Now if we don't get the best kind of service from the head of the fire department nobody will be in a position to lay the blame at the door of the aldermanic chamber. The new machine is as good as the market affords and ought to meet the requirements of Waterbury until the airship is perfected and when that is lettered o. K Water- bury will not be slow to take ad- vantage of 'it, provided it proves to be an improvement on the auto.
 Come now, clear the road. If the chief runs you down going to fire you cannot collect damage so that it behooves all to make a wild dash for the sidewalk and pull their teams close to the curbstone when they hear the ear splitting sound of the new adjunct to the fire fighting apparatus of Waterbury.
