The Winsted Citizen remarks: "Un- less conditions for fighting fire are changed in Sharon and North Canaan, this county, fire insurance rates will probably be advanced ill both places. In Sharon the water company and town are at odds over the price per hydrant for water, the company demanding more than the town will pay, and the result IS that the pretty summer place is prac- ticaily without fire protection, having no access to the hydrants North Canaan has only 200 feet of fire hose. |"
 If there is further advance in insur- ance rates in Canaan, the assured might better, for the sake of economy, deed their property to the insurance com panies and pay rent.

One of the speakers at the banquet held in "The Garfield" remarked that the editor of THE NEWS should be re- pressed or .hoppled or suppressed or some- thing of that sort, for too vigorous town booming and expressed the fear @ that land from Canaan to the Housatonic river will soon be worth 5000 per inch. We are glad to note that our efforts to advance Canaan have met with some degree of success and we are glad, also, to note that another of the shoulders which are against the wheel of progress is covered by the coat of the after-din- ner speaker above referred to.

LETTER GOT TO DESTINATION
But How II Did So Without an Ad.
dress Is Not Explained.

A New York man who belongs to a
Brooklyn club had an experience the
other day that has impressed him with
the ability Of the post Office.
The club sends out regular month
ly statements of Indebtedness in en-
velopes which have a piece of trans
parent paper set in so that the name
OF the bill shows through and thus
saves work in directing the envelope.
Occasionally notices Of forthcoming
club events are included in the en-
velope.
The last monthly statement the
New York man got was fixed up so
that only the printed lines announcing
a club concert showed through the
transparent part The name on the
bill didn't show at all, because that
card was turned toward the back of
the envelope
There seemed absolutely no way,
barring opening the envelope. by
which the name of the person for
whom 1t was intended could be discov-
cred. The envelope arrived apparent
ly as 1t had been posted, and the club
man is wondering yet how the post
Office folks did 1t.

A Queer Census.

When was last In India" said
the globe trotter, they were taking
the census. The returns we're most
remarkable. In the Allahabad census
80 citizens described themselves as
men who rob with threats of violence.
There were 226 .'flatterers for gain.
There were rs hereditary thieves
There were 20 'howlers at funerals.
There were las ear cleaners There
were rs makers of crowns for idols.
There were IA hereditary painters of
horses with spots There were nine
professional false Witnesses
1T seems remarkable, doesn't III
Maybe. though. II we. too, told the
strict truth to the census taker, our
own census would seem quite as
quaint as that of India"

VIVID AND HIS FIDDLE.
At Sandy Greek, in New York state,
Over seventy-four years ago,
An infant son to his father came
Whom most Of US now know.
Just what they called him as child
I'm not prepared to say,
But everyone around these parts
All call him wild today.
When Wild was just a little lad
He loved to trv the metal
BY playing stirring marshal notes
Upon his mothers kettle.
The tunes he played aroused his friends
Who thought the time had come
When this bright young musician lad
Should own bran new drum.
They gave him one with a pair of sticks,
And Wild, oh where was hep
The happiest boy in all New York
Twas very plain to see.
In later years fine violin
Was placed into his hands
And then we find the growing lad
The happlest in all lands.
He grew to manhood, came out west,
And brought along his fiddle
And played while couples far and near
Would sash shay" in the middle.
Twas 81 when he came here
When war clouds fast we're raising,
And the way he made our fathers dance
Was surely quite amazing.
He's passed his three score years and ten
And added on four more,
But still he loves to tune it up
Upon the ball room floor.
And though he's reached ripe old age.
He's tougher than fowl,
And can spread themortar smoothly
With his darby and his trowel.
A mason he, OF great renown,
He loves to spread the mortar,
And even at his ripe old age
Earns many an honest quarter.
So here's to Wild, the dear old man,
And his music OF today.
May he play upon a golden harp
When he has passed away.
And in the mansions OF the blest,
Find rest when all is oyer.
For with the music over there
He'll surely be in clover.
But we who know him only hope,
II the cold winds now are blowing,
Wild Howe, the friend Of all Of US,
Will not soon think Of going.

delicate, liable to take cold, liable to
