"My luck is fierce", in anguish
walled the man who forty times
had failed; "the gods that guide
poor mortals' feet have soaked me
often, and repeat. All things upon
this whirling sphere go wrong end
foremost when I'm near; If / had
luck like the other guys, you'd see
me like an airship rise ! I'll bet a
twenty-cent cigar I'd hitch my
wagon to a star" I've noticed
that the men who fail spring that
old story, worn and stale; they
never hand you out the truth they
never say: ~ failed, forsooth;
only because / am a dizzy. shirk,
/ hate to buckle down to work I'd
always let my business slide to
take a joyous motor ride, or watch
an organ grinders tricks, or fuss
around in politics. Good Honest
Toll may be the rage, I pass it up
at every stage; the bread Of labor
makes me ache; I'd rather shake
the dice for cake" The hard luck
yarn is always known wherever
has-beens meet and o The
fellows who + saving wood, and
baling hay and making good put
up no cutters sob or worse, when
they encounter a reverse; they
take fresh grip ON life and climb,
and get there somehow, everyt.me.

anti-stay-out-at night door lock.
"You turn this", the woman ex-
planned, pointing to a tiny knob in
side the door, "and you have fixed
the bolt so it can't be shot back by
the key. To release the tumblers
you've got to drop a coin in the
slot outside. The only piece of
money that will fit is ass gold
piece. The idea is my own. A lock

Mrs. isaac eraaaw.

Lucretia, widow of Isaac Bragaw, died Wednesday at the residence of her daughter. Mrs. Edgar l. Chapman. in Groton. There is little doubt that Mrs. Bragaw was the oldest resident of Groton borough, as she celebrated her s5th birthday on June 20, 1909. Mrs. Bragaw has enjoyed remarkable use of her mental faculties until the end, and although to a degree physically unable to care for herself for few years, has enjoyed conversation with the friends who called on her.
 Mrs. Bragaw is the last rsprese enta- tive of her immediate family, .. family noted for longevity. She was born in the old Huguenot house in New Lon don, her maiden name being Lucretia Crocker- She was the oldest member of the Federal street Methodist Epis- copal church, having been a member nearly eigi1ty-three years. At one time her husband kept a store and post office in Gales Ferry and many years ago she was proprietress of a bakery in Bradley street, New London.
 Mrs Bragaw is survived by two daughters. Mrs Edgar T. Chapman of Groton. at whose house she has lived for many years, and Mrs. Charles Comstock of Gales Ferry. and one son, Silas, who also lives at Gales Ferry.

MANY FROM NORWICH
 WORKING AT UNcAsVILLE. Go Back and Forth Daily by Trolley Roof Timbers Being Put Up.

A large force of workmen, including carpenters, stonemasons and laborers, Is still at work on the new dam being built by the Bigelow-Harriman Con- struction company at the outlet of Oxoboxo brook. It was expected that the forms would have been almost filled with concrete by this time, but the water has so far held the upper hand. Last week the space to be filled by the dam was pumped dry and work was started clearing of some of the rock projections in the bottom. Dur ing blasting operations a part of the cofferdam timbers was loosened and a leak occurred, the water rushing in and filling up all the space again.
 An attempt was made on Monday to stop the leak, but was only partially successful. Two pulsometers are in use pumping the water out, but it was pump of the centrifugal type would have to be installed to keep the water out. Stonemasons are at work drilling and removing part of the rock ledge on the east side of the dam.
 Part of the main roof tinlbers were faid on the largest building at the new mill Monday and the greater part of the heavy Iron pillars and gdrders is already erected in the interior. The first carloads of firebrick to be used in setting the four boilers were re- unloaded.
 In all about 150 men are employed at the works. a large proportion of the laborers going to and from the work to New London and Norwich. For their accommodation a special car is now being run daily morning and evening, from New London.
