An Old Account Book.

"Wolcott, Jan. 1st A. D., 1923; Thomas H. Welton's book of accounts, is the inscription in an old book owned by Thomas Fairclough, of Wolcott. The book was found by him in the farmhouse where he lives, when he moved into the house some 35 years ago. The words in which the accounts were written is small and cramped and at a glance resembles German rather than English script. It is English, however, oldfashioned, hard-to-read, but pathetically interesting English.
 The first of the accounts is with Levi Hall and reads: Feb. 13, to one days work laying wall, April 10. ST. The price for a days work seemed to vary with the length of the day. for in June, T5 cents is charged for lay s1.75 is paid for two days work.
 items are the amounts charged for the use to teams: Feb. goth. by horse twenty-four cents. Aug. 18th, by horse and sleigh to Southington, miles, to Plymouth station. twenty-five cents" But the rates were hardly uniform. for on April 10th, Milo G. HotchlIiss was charged only 20 cents to Southington, but it may be that he furnished his own sleigh. or wagon. little farther on, is the item: Horse to Waterbury, seventeen cents"
 That the farmers of the day were unusually versatile is evidenced by the following: For dressing, three calves. sixty cents. For weaving. IS handkerchiefs at six cents, s1.0s."

Commander Hovey and Dr. shahan
 Sneak


 In the assembly hall of the Greene vile grammar school Thursday morn ing for about two hours there were exercises of a patriotic nature for the children of the upper grades. Under the direction of Instructor in Music F w. Lester the pupils sang their Memo rial day songs and there were in- structive addresses by Commander Henry Hovey of Sedgwick post No. 1 G. A. R., and by Dr. D. J. S1lahan
 Commander Hoyey related some of his Civil war experiences as a com missary sergeant at Fort McHenry in Baltimore in 1862 and 1863, and his remarks were heard with much atten- ton.
 Our War Patriots was the subject of Dr. Shahan'S address. He said: The heart that contains no chord respon- sive to the call of patriotism must be dead to all human shame. True free dom was born and cradled but here in our own United States of America with George Washington as it's spon- sor. It was strengthened by the as surfing power of conscience of conf . dence, and the strong red blood of American manhood. The doctor called up the names of Patrick Henry, Israel Putnam, Paul Revere, Nathan Hale and other great names of Revolution ary days. and then spoke of the war of 1912 and the Rebellion. In closing he urged the children never to forget the sacrifices their fathers made to place within their hands a heritage dearer and sweeter than life ;tsetf.
 In the afternoon Commander Hnvey and Dr. Shahan spoke to the children of St. Mary's parochial school m the these exercises were also interesting and inspiring.

Marshall Field vs. H. H. Rogers.

comparison has been drawn be- tween the careers of Marshall Field who left $50 ,0oO,0 ,0oO. and H. H. Rogers who left. only a beggarly s34,000, 900 and much to the discredft of the latter if we are to take the preachments oi these moralists as gospel.
 Marshall Field never created any thing in his life. He was a gleanel in fields that others had planted. and he had the, trick of frugality. Honest man. of course, a benefactor, perhaps Plenty of honor to him for his stimu- Iation of the noble quality of emula : tion in tens of thousands of American youth.
 But H. H. Rogers, whatever else he did, was a creator. He made innumer- able blades of grass grow where none grew before He lost millions, or rather spent millions, to bring the coal oi Virginia to the Atlantic seaboard. That enterprise alone will afford living tc thousands of families, and when tho sober second thought comes history will write the name Henry H. Rogers far above that of Marshall Field Rogers planted. Field reaped.
 But when we come to speculate about it. that old Frenchman of Phila- delphia, Stephen Girard, was the great est of our money princes Had he beer contemporary with Hartman and Rog- CTS, Pierpont Morgan and John D Rockefeller. he would have put the country into his strong box.-Wa ash- ingtOn Post
