M awful tired O. bein' rich.
think it was pity
II We come into the money which
Enticed us to the city.
I wish that we was poor again
An back in Pawpaw Center
Alvin as we ust to when
We was so much CONTENDER.
Pa didn't have that worried look
An ma was never nervous
Before we had a chef to cook
An a butler man to serve us.
I'd ruther be the way we was,
All feelin' fine an happy,
With simple cookin' such as mas
That never made US scrappy.
An then the Tugs the girls put on!
I think it's awful silly
That Mary Jane is marie Zhon"
An Nellie is 'Natilie."
But, gracious, they git mad at me
When I say Nell" or Mary"
Though that was what they ust to b.
When they was 'tendin' dairy.

Christmas Family Advice.

To Papa-Remember the myth OF
Santa Claus, to keep it holy.
To Mamma-Don't worry about the
molasses candy getting on the parlor
rug. Christmas comes but once year,
and the stores will sell you a parlor
rug any day.
To Miss Belle-It is not necessary to
stand under a bunch of mistletoe if
you look at him the right way.
To Little Willy-Don't be envious of
Jimmy Jones because Santa brought
him cannon. Next year you may get
a disappearing gun. ct will disappear
mysteriously shortly after you begin
to make a noise with it, and maybe
mamma can explain.)
To Baby-Be good, dear child. and
let who will be clever.

Old Folk at Home Remembered.

A good many hundred thousand dol
lars have been shipped home to Europe
for Christmas. through the banks. by
foreigners employed in America. This
year, probably because of the high
rates of wages. the banks have been
buster with this class of exchange
than usual. The bulk Of the drafts go
to England and Ireland. Servants send
most Of this money, and none is ap-
parently SO poor or ragged that he or
she has not at least the equivalent OF
pound sterling to send home to the
old folks.

do YOU SUPPOSE THAT SANTA CLAUS
WILL FIND Us ON THE SEA"
On the good ship Polly the Christmas
sun shone down
And on a smiling little face beneath
agolden crown.
No happier child he saw that day on
sea or on the land
Than the captains little daughter
II with her treasures in her
hand.
For never was a stocking so filed
with curious things.
There were bracelets made of pretty
shells and rosy coral strings,
an elephant carved deity from a bit
of ivory tusk,
A fan, an alligator tooth and lit
tie bag of musk.
Not a tar aboard the Polly but felt
the Christmas cheer,
For the captains little daughter was
to every sailor dear.
They heard Christmas carol in the
shrielzing wintry gust,
For a child had touched them by her
simple, loving trust.
With a 20 heave no and 20 heave
no!
For ships must sail
Though fierce the gale
And loud the tempests blow.

SIDEWALKS DISCUSSED.
Members of Committee Report on Con-
ditions in Other Cities,

The special sidewalk committee of
five members and thirteen citizens were
present in the board of trade rooms
Tuesday evening. Thomas J. Kelly, a
member of the committee, after the
meeting had been called to order gave
his findings. with Alderman Dawson,
in Worcester. He said that the ce-
ment, or granolithic walk, had been
found to be the best walk made in re-
cent years, and that it was standing all
tests well, and could be laid with curb
ing for about 50 per running foot.
Alderman Gelinas told of his visit
with Mr.. Fenton to Hartford and
Springfield, and said that the narrow
asphalt walk seemed to be about the
right thing for some sections. and that
it would cost about SIS cents per yard.
Clerk Fenton read the amendment to
the city charter relating to sidewalks.
Mayor Dunn criticised the original
sidewalk agitators for their lack of in
terest, as shown by their absence from
the meeting. He commended the COM
mittee 70: their efforts. and favored
narrow sidewalks for the outlying dis
tricts and cement or granolithic walks
for others. d. A. Lyman favored mar
row sidewalks where practical, and as
phalt or cement as material
Joseph A. Martin was in favor of
first curbing street and then laying
the sidewalk a year or so later, and
was of the opinion that cinder walk
was all right for certain sections and
that a cobblestone walk grouted would
be best for the more Travelled sections.
w. J. Sweeney favored cemant walks,
and also that they should be laid first
in business sections. c. H. Bass held
the same view. There was a general
discussion. The meeting was adjourn
ed at 1850 o'clock.

TALK OF FEDERAL BUILDING.
Rumor That One May Be Asked For.

There is some talk to the effect that
a bill will be introduced at the COM
ing session of congress for the con-
struction of a federal postoffice build
ing in Danielson. The site spoken of
is that of the building at the corner
of Main and Academy streets, occupied
by the Crystal Water company and
other tenants. The government has a
ten years lease of the present office
in Bacon's building, and this has been
in force only a short time. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that If it was de-
cided to build a government postoffice
in Danielson the lease could be can
celled, as was done in Norwich when
that city secured new building.
Parochial School Pupils Entertain.
Many of the members of st. James
parish attended an entertainment CIV
en- by the children of st. James paro-
chial school in the hall in the school
building on Tuesday evening. The
programme was made up of songs, rec
itations. representations and other in

SHOOTING SUSPICIOUS.
Insurance People Not Satisfied About
Death of Mrs. Rosie ProuIx of Co
lumbia.

There is a. possibility that an in
quest may De called as a result of the
circumstances surrounding the recent
death OF Mrs. Rosie Proulx of Column
bia-
The medical examiners certificate,
as fled with the town clerk, states
that he did not see the deceased until
after life was extinct and that the
wound was caused by pistol shot in
the abdomen. At the time it was gen
orally believed that it was a case of
suicide. or, as some seemed to think,
an accidental case of shooting as
Mrs. Proulx was said to be accus-
toned to clean the pistol at intervals.
AS far as is known there was no
one in the house at the time of the
accident, aside from a small girl, a
daughter of the deceased The theory
has been advanced that there may
have been some one else and that it
was not case of suicide or accidental
shooting.
There was some insurance on the
life of the deceased and the insurance
people have started inquiries that may
lead to an inquest or a statement Of
facts from the coroner who author
lied Medical Examiner Mason to look
after the case.

MORE ALIENATION.
William P. AIIing of Stafford Springs
Seeks $500 from Maurice +.
Palmer.

A number of the flights of the white
flyer are about to be brought to light
within the confines of a court room, II
is said, and some interesting trips VIII
be laid bare. These things will all be
brought about as. the result of suit
that has been instituted by William +.
Alling Of Stafford Springs against
Maurice F. Palmer of the Palmer Elec-
trio company of this city.
1t is understood that writ is in the
hands of Constable William ]. Hastings
and will be served on Mr.. Palmer at
the first opportunity
The action is brought by Mr.. Alling
for the sum of $4,000 for the alleged
alienation of his wife's affection by
Palmer, who, it is stated in the writ,
was wont to take her automobiling at
different times, and was at last the
means of having the Alling household
broken up.
No serious charge is made against
Palmer aside from the fact that he
did take the lady in the case out joy
riding in his white flyer on various
occasions.
1t is understood that Mr.. Alling is
represented by Attorney P. J. Danahey
of this city.
The suit is returnable to the SUI
perior court for the first Tuesday in
December it is said. There was some
talk few months ago that Mr.. Alling
was about to bring action against
Palmer, but that was contradlcted at
the time. Now, however, the matter
will be threshed out.

A Shabby Joke.
There was a tendency in Putnam
Tuesday to regard the holdup Of Sam
uel Diamond in his barn on Wood
stock avenue as a joke and not to be
considered seriously, as it may have
been the work of boys trying out Mr..
Diamonds nerves. However much
truth there may be in this theory, 1t
Is somewhat beyond the boundary line
of the joke realm when masked per-
sons enter a mans barn, order him
to throw up his hands, and when he
fails to comply, discharge deadly
weapon at him. If this Is joke the
officers have failed to recognize it as
such and if the guilty persons are
caught they may find 1t difficult to
prove that they have not committed
a serious statutory offence.
Case Settled Out of Court.
There was no session Of the superior
court on Tuesday, the case of Gle
ophee Bernard ct al. VS.. Leverett 5.
Weeks having been withdrawn and the

PENDANT. Under the terms of settle
ment the plaintiffs agreed to remove
the buildings. The parties to the suit
