Perkins "Stroke Of Business" didn't
Take with His Friends.

At luncheon Perkins was in rare
good humor. Usually he is taciturn
but this day he felt so joyous that he
actually treated.
Il did a nice bit of business to-day,
he explained glowingly. picked ur
little more thaa $1,000. 1t was this
way: Half dozen of us over in
Brooklyn formed a pool some years
ago to speculate in mild way in real
estate, each man putting up 81 900 or
$4,000. Several members Of the pool
were real-estate II and you know
real-estate men SOL etimes have rare
bargains to offer if spot cash can be
obtained. We wanted to take advan-
tage of just such bargains. We did,
and our little company-we had in
orporated-progresse so much that
the shares were worth nearly $500
apiece. One Of the members OF the
pool died, and what do you think he
did? Split up his shares and willed
them to all sorts Of persons. He left
two to an old woman out on Long Is-
land who had some claim or other on
him, and that's where the story comes
in. This old woman doesn't know a
share of stock from royal flush, but
she realized that it was worth some
thing, and seeing my name on the
certificate she wrote to me. saying it
seemed to be worth 500. and asking
If Id pay that much for it. What do
you think of that? Two shares for
500, and the shares worth 5000 a
piece, almost! / sent her 500 by re-
turn mail, and got her shares to-day
with note thanking me kindly for be-
ing SO good to her. 'Haw! Haw! What
do you think of that?"

arose and poured his liquor into a

FAIRFIELD

Last evening pr. William H. Don- aldson, health officer of the town. was preparing a circular letter which he will cause to be distributed very generally among property owners, calling attention to the fact that in the absence of a sewerage system, it is necessary to inspect all vaults and cess pools, and see that they are put in sanitary condition. The doctor has long advocated the taking of some action regarding sewerage, but the town is so disinclined to act, largely on account of the expense which would be necessary, and the problem is such a difficult one for solution, owing to the local physiographY. with the surface to be drained but three or four feet above the water level, that the prospect for a good system of drainage appears to be very dim. Per haps the most up-to-date and scienti- fic plan yet proposed, is the building of large drainage vats on the meadows bordering on the Sound, with a pump ing station, and a manipulation of the sewerage and final conversion into fertilizers, after the mode so common in England and Germany.
 If the state legislature cannot pass a law forbidding the use of traction engines on the highways, as in the opinion of the Attorney General it can- not. how can a town meeting do so? ? The fact is a town cannot pass such a law, any more than it could prohibit the use of automobiles on the roads,

FOREST SCHOOLS
 IN CONFERENCE

The heads of all universities, col- legeS and schools in which technical forestry is taught have been invited by Clifford Pinchot, United States forest CT, to attend or send a representative to the conference on education in for estry which will be held in Washing ton in December. In his letter of in vitation the forester says:
 ''I believe that conference of rep resentatives of all forest schools and universities and colleges in which for estry is taught might be made of great value to the general progress of forestry in the United States, as well as to the institutions which teach for estry, and to the forest service, which employs so many of their graduates, and which is vitally interested in the best training of foresters. Such a conference might well consider the ob- jects and methods of forest instruc- tion, the organization and standards of educational work in the field of forestry, the coordination of the work of different institutions, and the needs of the forest service and other employ CTS of forest graduates.
 "I hope you will find it possible to be present or to send a delegate to a conference of this kind, which, with the concurrence of the institutions concerned, will be held in Washington December 30 and 31, 19O9.''
 From all over the country the plan has met with enthusiastic support, letters of acceptance having been re- ceived from nearly every institution to which the invitation has been sent
