THE BIG TROUSERS SALE.

Every August there is lot of en- thusiasm aroused by Meigs & Co. s reg ular August sale of Trousers, an event anticipated by hundreds of thrifty men. Somehow, August finds the av- craze trousers in rather a disreputable condition, new trousers are neces- sity, as almost every man discovers. And just at this opportune time, Meigs & Co. flash the news-Trousers Sale and the rush is on. This season, in addition to their own immense stocks of outing and regular trousers, they are offering at big reductions hundreds of pairs they have just received from a manufacturers cleanup of his sea- sons garments. So, in reality, the present sale is the biggest in point of stocks and variety that they ever have invited you to attend. The values are way above the average at the regular prices, so you can readily judge the character of the bargains when you read the radical reduction in the ad vertisement of Meigs & Co.,, in this is- sue.

E. A. Scoville of South Britain has taken the agency for the reliable Stan ley steam auto cars. The Boston City government has equipped the police and fire department with them. Why should they do it? The U. 5. govern ment is adopting the cars for use of the government in the Phillipine Is- lands. You never see Stanley cars advertised for sale. Why? Because people are satisfied with them. Just a word as to the Model F, Stanley, price. $500. There is no changing of gears-speed from a creeping pace to a mile minute or more is to be had by simply opening and closing the throt- tie, sub-imposed on the steering wheel. When at a temporary standstill, there is no odor, no vibration, no racing en- zine; nor is there any cranking for a new Istart. The extreme fexibility, and the power to get back to high speed quickly under any conditions without shifting gears, remove the temptation to take chances on danger ous corners or in congested traffic: This 20 horsepower steam, motor will easily deliver in an emergency to the rms of the driving wheels more power than any 50 horsepower motor gaso- lene, and as evidence we offer our Omond record of 45 and three. ffths sec onds for mile-the fastest mile ever made by any stock touring car in the world. The total weight of the car IS about 1850 pounds empty. This light weight and the uniform drive and lack of gear changes reduce the tire cost and tire trouble to a minimum further more, they reduce the fuel cost and the repair cost to the lowest possible point. Here is a five passenger Touring Car at $500, so efficient in every way that you would have to pay two or
 three times its price for gasolene car
 to equal it: and so simple to operate and care for that three-quarters of all we have made are in the hands of their owners, without help of hired chauf- feurs. Mir Scoville would be glad to correspond or call on interested parties. He will also take out touring parties. Tel. 66-21. Local.

OBITUARY.
MRS HENRIETTE sCHuPpERT.


 In the passing away of Mrs sehup- pert, Taunton loses one of it's most highly respected residents. Coming among us some four years ago as a total stranger, she yet by her simple friendliness and the sturdy integrity Of character established a place in the esteem and love of her neighbors. While during the past year we had marveled at the spirit of courage with which she endured terrible suffering caused by the dread disease which caused her death. Henriette Schup- pert was born April Il, lsl7, on the Rhyme, Germany. In her young wo- manhood she married Charles Schup- pert coming to this country some forty years ago. Five children were born to them; four died in infancy. The youngest son, Henry Schuppert, alone survived growing to manhood and care fully cared for his mother till her end. Mrs Schupper underwent an operation at the Danbury hospital in August of last year, hoping to check or eradicate the fatal trouble. But in December the trouble again appeared and through the weary days and nights she bore pa- tiently the cross of suffering. Death came, Monday noon of this week, a $ the angel of blessed release for hel faith was firm in God and the Heaven ly Home. The funeral serivces were held at her late home, Thursday after. noon, Rev J. H. George officiating. Messrs Arthur Fairchild, Ferris Meade, Frederick Andrews and Alonzo Cree were pail bearers. The interment was in Taunton cemetery.
