free. of charge, the first ceremony. And the story of his handing & wedding fee to the bride two weeks ago was proof that he kept his word.
 Personally. he is the sort of man one likes to meet. He is genial, 'affable and charitable, one of the altogether too few men who believe in spreading life s sunshine If there are shadows or dark days in his life, he possesses to a marked degree, the faculty of cercealing the fact, and the pleasant smile, the friendly word and the hearty heRd-shake are always forthcoming from the Judge.
 He came to Falls Village m impaired health but the pure ozone aRd the plea sant surroundings they have down there have been potent agencies dn making him strong and robust.
 That he belongs to The Booster Club will not for moment be doubted by anyone who has seen the cosy home oc- cupied by his estimable wife and himself.

When I was about six months old my parents moved to New York City wkere I lived until the spring of 1905 when I moved to Falls Village to spend large portion of my time each year. l was educated in the public schools of New York City and when quite young took a position with wholesale commission house and was identified with several firms until 1876 when 1 opened 8 wholesale commis- sion house of my own and continued in the business until 1905. have held no public office although have been elected te office by various fraternal organiza- tiens of which am a member.

BARNUM
 WANTS NO OFFICE
HAS NO DESIRE TO GO HIGHER
Although he Might run for. Lieutenant
 Governor This Fall and For Gov ernor in 1910.

In connection with a reference to Lime Rock, the New York Herald has the following to say of Senator Charles w. Barnum of that place:
 Senator Barnum saw so much of poli- tics in his fathers day that it effectively stified any desire that he might have had for public life. The office that gives MT. Barnum the title of State Senator is the only public one he has held, and he had to be coaxed and driven to accept the nomination in November, 1906. He received majority in the Thirty first district almost as large as his opponent s vote. In this town and the Canaans, where his business interests are, and where he is best known, there were nearly one thousand votes for him, and only two hundred against him. The town of Salisbury gave him 4S2 votes and his opponent just seventy-five. Senator Barnum was a democrat until 1896, when free silver turned him to re- publicanism, where he has since re- mained. In the Legislature he was chairman of the Committee on Incor- porations and Senate Appointments, and not report of his was rejected, a record never before made. During the seven months that the longest session in the history of the General Assembly dragged, Senator Barnum, at personal sacrifice and loss, worked hard for the success of sane and salutary legislation, but was dismayed at the unbusinesslike methods and log rolling that prolonged the work of three hundred men five or six months beyond the time that would be required by twenty business men of ordinary intelligence to- accomplish it. Yet, despite his vigorous application of business methods to the work in hand. Senator Barnu n was exceedingly popu- lar at Hartford and made many fast friends. It is in the cards to force him to run for Lieutenant Governor this year and for Governor in 1910, but he states positively that this programme will fall. He says he gave the best that was ill him to the State for seven months last year, and that the first chapter of his political life will be his last. Politics sicken him, but his chief objection to going higher is that it would take him away from Lime Rock and the scenes and associations and duties of which he is so fond.

FISHERMAN FINED FIVE CENTS.

Jndge Davis of Falls Village Oisposes
 of Trespass Case.
 A few days ago eight fisherman from New Haven went to Huntsville to fish for trout. They engaged board of Geo. Judd and then started out. Judd and William Page own land on either side of a stream. Page objects to fishing from his side of it and Judd does not. One of these fisherman, Bronson Warner, went out to inviegle the speckled beauties and had no sooner stepped onto Pages land than Page appeared and placed him un- der arrest. Warner promised to appear for trial and Page released him. Warner went to Falls Village, hunted up Judge A s, Davis, laid the matter before him, his plea being that he did not know he was on Page's land and, also, that he did not know trespassing thereon was forbidden. He remarked, however, that he was willing to settle for any "frac- ture" of the law. After carefully re- viewing the case Judge Davis decided that it had been fractured about five cents worth. Then he remitted the $7. costs.
 Mir. Warner had the nickel with him, parted with it with good grace and was released. The fine has been placed in the strong box of the Town of Canaan.

Four-in hand Coach Drivers.
Charles X. Fownes, for many years

who died recently at his home in New
York city, was the youngest of sixteen
children. He was the son of the well
known Daddy Fownes and was born
in England May Is, 1875 He came to
the United States as a driver in 1895
and at once Established his reputation
as q coach at the national horse show,
where he drove rings around the mea
who had previously held the palm on
a coach.
To the average observer it appeared
as if Mr. Fownes was the easiest
driver that had been seen OH the road
or in the show ring, but to the experts
he was better understood He was
never worried or nervous and seemed
to sit the coach as he would a horse.
He was q part OF It. He moved with
1t as it swayed. always at the right
time, and his exhibitions of the art OF
driving were always a pleasure to
watch He never moved his fingers
along the reins except when absolutely
necessary and did not "play the harp"
a characteristic of so many reputed
good drivers. 1T was in finesse that
he eXcelled. His wrist play was SUI
perb. His arms were seldom seen to
move except when handling the whip.
and then only from the elbow, and
even under those circumstances he
clicked the heads Of the leaders in a
four with ease. 1t was this, combined
with his great accuracy IN judging dis
lance and his remarkable grace and
ease, which made him the greatest
driver of his time in the United States.
