Sardonsp Truth,

There is sardonic truth in the head lines over the report that meat prices are going down, which announce that probably the reduction will not reach the consumer. No one ever was able to say that when the price went up The friction is all one way. When prices go uno it is passed on from wholesaler to rniddle1nan and retailer and req ches the consumer quick. When they go down the reduction sticks. It is 8 long while before it reaches the consumer. But the talk Of reduction is likely to have a similar effect to that caused by the rise in prices. The consumer reduced consumption even before he felt the increase. Now he is likely to buy and eat more because he hears that meat is cheaper, even though he has not discovered it in his own bill. While natural causes have a controlling effect on the price of meat in the long run. artificial causes over which the original dealers have control, have most of the effect in the temporary changes. When the cost of meat gets so low that the consumer notices it, 1t will have more meaning than all the newspaper talk about lower prices has noW.-Waterbury American

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

My son, boy of five, broke out with an itching rash. Three doctors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse until we could not dress him any more. A medical colleges treatment did no good. He was so bad that it was impossible to touch him with the bare hand. There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the screams from the poor child were heartbreaking.
 "T began to think that he would never get well, but after the second applica- tion of Cuticura Ointment I began to see signs of improvement, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled of twenty times, but 1t finally yielded to the treatment. Now I can say that he is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boy you never saw than he if to-day, twelve years or more since the cure was effected.

Mrs. Margaret Higgins of Wall ays- nue has in her possession & platter which was part of the china. service of Napoleon Bonaparte while ha was @ prisoner at St. Helena. says the Wa terbUry American At luncheon given by Mrs. Higgins recently the p1attag was used for the first time since Gs held 8 portion of food for the emperoe at Longwood. It was obtained by the uncle of Mrs. Higgins. a member of the guard with which England held the terror of Europe safe in his island prison.
 Sell it?'' says Mrs. Higgins. 'Tal sell it when the French government makes me an offer. Napoleon was 8 French1nan-the greatest Frenchnaan they ever had. He ate his food from that platter. Some day France wiki want it.''
 An agent of J. Pierpont Morgan re- gently made Mrs. Higgins an offer for the relie but Mrs. Higgins held frm.

Stephen A. Grlses Found Dead ir Bed Funeral of George NichoIs-Con- gregationaI Choir Gives Fine Con- cert-News in General.

Stephen A. Grfggs, known through out Connecticut, other New England states and New York as a horseman and auetioneer, was found dead in his room in the Chiekering house about ' o'clock Friday morning. The body was discovered by a chamDermaid
 Mir GTiggs was last seen alive Fri day morning about one o'clock by one of the hotel attendants, who passed him in the hall on his way to his room and exchanged word with him. He probably had been dead only a short time when the fact was dis covered, as rigor mortis had not set in. Heart disease was probably the cause of death. The body was later taken in charge by Undertaken Louis E. Kennedy of DanieIson.
 Stephen Albert Griggs was born in the nearby town of Pomfret, and prac- ttcally all of his years of life were spent in the towns of eastern Wind ham county. For about 20 years, long after returning from the civil war the Eighteenth Connecticut, he lived in Brooklyn, and for eleven years of that time was proprietor of the Mort lake house in that town.
 It was as a hOrSeman and auctioneer that MT. Griggs became best known His personality was a strikingly mag netic one and 1t won for him a host of friends in every section where he went and he went to many places, His pow erful voice carried a familiar sound to horse buyers in many auction halls throughout New England and Madison Square garden, New York, he conduct ed some of the largest horse sales of a decade ago. He was one of the most capable men in this line that this county has ever produced and his abil- ity to sell advantageously anything that could be sold at all brought his services into great demand.
 To the followers of the race tracks he was also q familiar figure and he had looked down from the Judges stand on as many fields of starters as any man i'll this part of the state. His last service in this capacity was at some of the county fairs this fall.
 His acquaintances included about everyone in Windham county and the announcement that he was dead ex- cited many a word of sympathy
 MT. Griggs and Miss Harriet Cady were married at Pomfret fl years ago. Mrs. C+riggs, now living in Plainffeld, survives her husband. There are also four children, Mrs. George B. Kim ball, Bridgeport; Mrs. FrS~-- c. Leav- ems. Williamsville; Sabin E., Hart ford. and Clement T., Waterbury.

Stephen A. Griqqs.


 Danielson people were much surpris- ed Friday morning to hear of the death at Putnam of Stephen A. Griggs, who was kell known here and in the near by town of Brooklyn. The body was taken in charge by Undertaken Louis E. Kennedy of Furnace street.
 About the Borough.
 It is said that the people of North Sterling are contemplating extending a call to Rev. Samuel Church of Roches- ter, N. r., to become pastor at North Sterling. Rev. MT. Church recently preached at North Sterling and made a fine impression.
 A missionary social was held at the Methodist parsonage Friday evening, under the auspices of the Epworth league.
 The meeting Of Qu1nebaug Pomona grange is to be held in A. O. H. hall, Putnam. on Saturday, Dec. 3. Quine- baug Pomona includes all of the sub- ordinate granges in Windham county. Church societies in Danielson are ar ranging for their annual Christmas sales.
