AIanson Garfield of New Milford Wish
ed Many Happy Returns.

Alanson Garfield. the oldest man in
New Milford, celebrated his 1854 birth
day on Thursday friends and relatives
calling to wish him many happy re-
turns of the day. The old gentleman
has not been quite so clipper and
bright the past few months. but he
manages to be lip and doing most of
the time. He Was born at the old Cau-
field homestead OH Long Mountain,
October s, 1907, and has practically
spent his entire life within ten miles
of that spot. He spent his early years
on the farm, and for about ten years
was in business at Charlottesville. After
that he went to New Milford and form :
ed partnership in the lumber BUSH
ness with Merritt Beach. When he
reached his 60th year he retired from
business, chiefly owing to i'll health.
He has been a member of the Congre-
gational church for 81 years.

The Mo6at Road.
From the Bookkeeper.


At present the line passes over great
shoulder which projects from the main
body Of the mountain. From Holland up
over this shoulder is climb OF nearly
5000 feet, up a grade of per cent. or
two hundred feet up for every mile trav-
eled Railroad men call this climb the
Giants LADDER On the face of the
mountain the track rises In three ter
races one above the other, and the last is
SO high that 1t seems to one in the valley
below an impossible task for the locomo-
tive to drag the train up to 1t. When the
last climb is completed and the train
winds over the shoulder, and there rising
up to a sheer height Of 1000 feet Is a
great cliff, and out on the jutting edge Is
q ragged hole through the face of the
wall This tunnel, because daylight shows
through it. is called the Needles Eye"
Like a great scar the way Of the roadbed
can be traced up the side of the cliff
where 1t goes through the tunnel.
The track that disappears In the Nee
dies Eye comes out on great shelf
that hangs 1000 feet above Yankee Doo-
die lake, a beautiful circular piece Of wa
ter imprisoned almost on the crest of the
Great Divide. At this point the road Is
ii eco feet above sea level, and almost
1000 feet above Denver. This is the
highest point ever reached by q standard
xauge railway in q region OF perpetual
snow. mountain peaks, and seemingly on
the roof of the world.

The market opened steady at unchanged
prices to an advance of points. which
was not a fun response to relatively firm
cables, and soon sold of to a net loss of
5a10 points under overnight selling or
ders, renewal Of local bear pressure
and general liquidation. There was a lit
tie foreign buying on the call, but the de-
mand from this source was restricted by
the poor cable service. and beyond COW
ering by shorts on a scale down there ap-
peared to be no support.
Below 14.JO for May spot houses be-
came buyers and after selling at 1445 for
that position with the active months gem
orally showing a net loss of about 11a14
points the market rallied on this demand
and covering. The fact that spot people
were willing to buy below the 14h-cent
level seemed to check aggressive selling
for short account and prices during the
late forenoon were steadier with the mar
ket at midday holding within 3a5 points
of last nights close.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

At the meeting of the Stock Exchange
today a letter was read from GrifHn Hal
stead. who recently failed in the stock
brokerage business, resigning as MEM
Der of the board, and requesting that
the proper officers of the board be In
structed to sell his seat for the benefit
OF all his creditors. 1t was stated that
MIR. Halsteads purpose in giving up his
membership in the exchange was to maze
available the value of his seat as part
of his assets. The resignation was ac-
cepted, and the seat will be sold.
The business at the exchange session
was not large. Bonds we're readily taAen
at current rates, and especially at slight
recessions from such rates.
Twenty shares OF gas stock sold at q,
but there was no more offered at that
price. The figures for the bonds anu
certificates of the company were on a
somewhat higher level. but no sales were
made.

Growing Countries.
From the Mexican Herald


The census department Of Canada esti-
mates the present population OF the Do
minion to be 100000. The distribution
by sections is maritime provinces. I,OS7.
112; Quebec. 2OSS, 461: Ontario. 2.619. 025;
western provinces, 1871 1874; unorganize6
territories, $500.
1t Is not surprising that Canada, with
her many resources and her healthful eli
mate and varied opportunities for indus
trial wealth-seekers. should grow all. the
time. sturdy race which increases by
the excesses Of births over deaths Is
continually being reinforced by immi-
grafton. and that of the best kind. The
consuming power of the population of
Canada Is very large. and accounts for
the heavy importations Of foreign gooas
and the excellent support given to home
industries.
Argentina, with about a million less
population than Canada. Is rapidly in
creasing In wealth. 1t is interesting to
see that the influx Of immigrants into this
country from Spain continues, Just as 1t
does in the case of Cuba and Argentina
The ancient Iberian motherland still
breeds q sturdy race which sends its sons
to former colonies.

Fuel Oil in Mexico.

From Casters Magazine.
One Of the first results of the discovery
Of oil in Mexico has. OF course. been the
diminution OF coal imports. Formerly the
Mexican railways consumed annually at
least 10000 tons Of patent fuel from
South Wales.
In the latter half of last year half the
locomotives were altered to burn liquid
fuel, and II is now only a question Of
providing the necessary oil storage tanks
at suitable points for oil fuel to become

Face Of the Typical New Yorker.
T. r. O'Connor, In NJ. A. r.

London Is friendless city enough,
heaven knows. to those who are not able
to conquer; but she seems to me mild.
benignant even, In comparison with New
York. The face of the Londoner is very
often overcast with the thought of how
to get q living in the keen competition OF
the people in that mighty capital: but the
London face is tranquility embodied in
comparison with the face OF the typical
New Yorker. Keen, Ratchet shaped,
anxious. absorbed. such Is the face you
see everywhere around you. And this
kesnness of face 10 accompanies by q
terrible spirit of self-absorption. You
seldom see people talk much while they
are travelling In the elevated railway or
in the subway. as they call the under
ground train there.

een-Eyed Beauties Nowin Deman'

from the new 1Wk AEluuuc.
AS fashions in dress change 50 do fash
ions In features. Just now 1t is the green
eyed damsel who appears to be In de-
mand. At least she figures rather largely
i'm current fiction. To judge by these
standards, one would infer that blue. gray
or brown eyes were hopelessly passe. and
that no one could hope to be fascinating
whose eyes were not tinted like the SER
penis. But the green eye is great at. ra =.
beautiful. It cannot be SO easily found in
real life as in books, and there Is ~. no
owners Of tine blue, gray and brown eyes
do not need to take the greeneyed queen ,ss,n
path. This rarity of the green eye is
partly responsible. no doubt. for nI the sd .
still more does that love of wickedness
which turks In most peoples souls &C
count for the cult. The woman with
green eyes may be a saint, but somehow
the mind has a tendency to associate her
with serpents. cats and green-eyed jeai-
ousy. She recalls the snake women of
fable. but. like the snake. she rasclnates.
