About fashions, / think the sisters will all

That we may all one day,

Where ocean dashes up her spray,

AN AROMATIC DREAM.
Bring out the good old coffee pot and put it
on the stove,
Wen quaff the fragrant beverage our fathers
used to love;
The coffee that our mothers made-it cannot
be forgot
And drank with sweet contentment from the
saucer, foaming hot.
They made it in the clearing, upon the
forks and poles,
Or at the old-time fireplace upon a bed of
Goals;
The hunger it's aroma reused lack the words
to tel,
When mother pulled the wire of the welcome
dinner bell.
They served it at the ''huskin,s" and at the

With plenty of the richest cream and sugar
Through all the years seem to scent its fra
GRANGE on the air,
Where youth and wit and beauty sit, in each
old-fashioned chair.
How oft its fragrant greeting, as he neared
his cabin door,
Bestirred the hardy pioneer, with toll and

And, as he ate his simple fare and swept a
second plate,
He drank, content, "the cup that cheers but
don't inebriate."

Although car will not be put on TO
run every half hour throughout the
day one will probably be put on during
the rush hours. early in the morning,
at noon, and at night. A car will also
be run during church hours, Sundays,
both morning and evening. 1t is at the
above hours that the Main street line
was used most and with the service
given during those hours II is likely
that no more protests will be made Mr..
Smith wants to do the right thing for
the Wallingford people. but cannot see
his way clear to run a car all day
when 1t is only used at certain hours.
1t is stated that the Main street car
was not a paying investment. Many
times during the day the car would

Wallingford, Jan. Is. - For some
time past there have been reports
floating about the borough of a
strange man who follows women and
inquiries If they would not like to take
little walk with him. About two
weeks ago a we'll known lady who
conducts a place Of business on Cen
ter street left her store TO go home
for the night. In her pocketbook she
had the result of her days sales. Aft
er proceeding a short distance she
heard someone walking rapidly behind
her. Looking back she perceived a
strange man striving to catch up with
her. The lady walked faster. the man
did the same. AS she neared her home
she broke into a run and the man did
likewise, but the lady managed to get
into the house before the man reached
her. She was overcome after getting
safely inside and was unable to attend
10 her work for the next two days.
Last Saturday night a prominent lady
of the town was walking down
Church street when a man stepped up
to her and asked her If he might have
the pleasure of her company for a
short walk in the moonlight. The
lady managed to escape from her
would-be escort by the timely arrival
Of some friends. There have been
several other cases of like kind re-
ported lately, and the police are work
ing on the matter. A description OF
the man has been furnished and If he
is caught trying his lady game it will
go hard with him.

TENNYsON WAS REBUKED.

A writer in Harper's Weekly brinKg'
to light an interesting anecdote Of
Tennyson which we'll illustrates the
singular habits OF the great laureate
in his intercourse with his friends. The
poet was not only bruque and rough.
but he was domineering and exacting.
and most other men were afraid of
him. But an. American schoolmaster
who for many years maintained a.
great intimacy with him had no fear
in his heart, and sat and smoked on
an equality with the sovereign singer
by the Farringford fireside.
One evening" says the writer,
when the two were thus together,
Tennyson said that he would depart
from his custom and narrate d per-
sonal experience; but he had suffered
La good deal from repetitions Of his
tales by those to whom he had told
them, and he would be obliged to ask
his friend never to repeat what he
was about to hear.
The American smoked on for few
seconds while Tennyson waited for
the promise, and then he said:
MY lord, in my country a gentle-
man would never make that request
of another gentleman
. 'H-h-m!" said the poet, and Look
ed out of eyes that wondered il the
quiet smoker opposite knew httw
much he'd said Then he told the
story.
