Josh Billings Parting Shot to q Cheeky
Drummer.
About Christmas time once the some
time famous Josh Billings. humorist.
was on his way to his old home at
Lanesboro, Mass. On the train were
three travelling men who wanted n
game Of whist One of them pointed
TO unpretentious and unprepossessing
Josh and said:
Lets ask RUDE into the game and
comb some Of the hayseed out OF his
hair"
MY venerable friend" he said as
he laid his hand on the shoulder of tho
old man, Twill you Join us I'm game
of whistY'
"Ya-as; we will get there in abaout
three hours" replied Josh, putting his
hand to his ear.
'sYou don't seem to understand" said
the young follow In louder tone. I'VE
want you TO take hand
"Ya-as; the stand o. corn has been
unusual good this year"
''My friend" the young fellow then
yelled. will you take a hand I'm a
gamer
''Ya-as; was tellin' Mandy this
mornin' how plenty an how fat the
game Is this year"
ooh. you go to the devilr' shouted
the young fellow as he took his seat.
while the other drummers unmerci-
fully pestered him.
When Lanesboro was reached the
old fellow got up. handed one Of his
Josh Billings cards to bach one of the
trio and then said to his interlocutor:

COMING TO A Fl FAD
Connecticut

The question of new library build ing which has been exercising the minds of Canaan people for several weeks will soon be decided.
 Arguments have been presented in THE NEWS by correspondents who were antagonistic to the plan proposed of ex- changing the present library building and the payment of $2, 900 cash, for the former office building of the New Eng land Lime company. The general opin- ion by those opposed to the plan is that MT. Manvel has made a very generous offer, but they believe that the town should wait until it can afford to erect building especially and appropriately designed for the purposes of library.
 Those in favor of the proposition kept their arguments for use at the meeting held last Saturday night and so well were these presented that those who attended voted to accept them, and also voted to refer the matter to a decision by the voters of the town at q special town meeting to be held next Saturday.
 It will be seen by letter on the first page of this issue that new question has been injected; that is the ability of the town to dispose of the present library property even if it wishes to do so. According to our correspondent the property does not belong to the town, and, if this be true, all the discussion has been for naught, except that it has brought out this one, fact But Saturdays meeting will settle the matter for good.

MOTH ERS' DAY

Next Sunday, May 8, will be observed in many of the cities and towns all over this country as Mothers Day"
 The idea originated in the mind of Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, and the plan was intended to be "A simul- taneous observance in every part of the world of the love and reverence which all men and women owe their mothers. !"
 Public services Ill the churches, the doing of kind deed for the mother or somebody else, and the wearing of the white carnation, are ways adopted for the purpose of showing the affection and reverence which belong as a right to the mothers of the land, and we hope that our community will join ill the colebra- tion of this worthy function by one or all of the recognized methods. There is no one so poor or so busy that they can not show in some appropriate manner the love and respect they have for the mother who bore and cared for them.
