When we reached our Wisconsin
farm | was delighted. Being fourteen
years old l could handle the team
and soon learned how to pillow and do
all kinds Of farm work. We raised
that year a tremendous crop Of peach
blow potatoes which we sold at 80
cents a bushel. War prices were
still on. so that flour was very dear
and we lived largely on corn meal.
Our supper for four years running
was always corn mush which i stir

but had read a good deal. and knew
how to think, and In q few months
I had picked up all that I lacked
and was quite near the head of my
classes In everything. The greatest
thing I got In that High School was
from the little book called Green's
Analysis which showed me how TO
snalyze a sentence. putting 1t in a
diagram on the blackboard. showing
the subject and predicate and the
various notifications. That gave me
a method Of thinking which / some
times think is the biggest thing /
ever learned.
But at the High School l was in q
machine. Father wanted me to be-
gin Latin and prepare for College.
but the course OF study did not pro-
vide Latin until I should have mas
tered several other subjects. We had
an old family friend by the name Of
Tutor Hodge who lived on a farm

running THE FORWARD
MOVEMENT BY NARROW VIEWS

Atlanta, Dec. 13.-The Men and Re-
ligion Forward movement is being
complicated locally by the fact that
certain particularly rigid leaders of
the movement are coupling with that
movement a demand for Sunday blue
laws in Atlanta. Many in the move~
ment think that a certain amount IF
recreation on Sunday is desirable for
the young people, and the public SEN
timent, which has thus far supported
the leaders in every step they have
taken, is very much divided over this
new aspect of the movement.

ADDITION TO, COURT HOUSE
 CONSIDERED
County Commissioners Will Re- commend it to Senators and
 Representatives

An addition to the present county court house will be recommended by the county commissioners when they meet with the Sera .ors and Represent tatives from t''is county in Hartford tomorrow. The resent building is not large enougt to enabie the courts to transact the largo volume of bus mess. The com rissioners think that additions to the second and third floors could be built on the western side of the structure and thereby pro- vide for another court room.
 . There are four coUr.S in session al- most continuously ann sometimes five. This makes it necessary for one court to hold sessions in the bar library or some other room
 Today it was announced that Coron- CT Wilson's office iii the court house will be moved to the third floor Judge Justice George W. Wheeler of the Supreme court and Judge Howard J. Curtis of the Superior court will have the coroners former office. Chief Justice Hall of the Supreme court will also have desk room there
 Some recommendation regarding the Superior court vaults will be made The interior fittings are of wood and it is thought that in accordance with modern methods, metal fittings should be installed.

Attorney Cum mings told Judge Booth ne would rest his case upon the evidence that has been brought out by the witnesses summoned by thc State. He mas sub- mftted all, these witnesses. particular ly the expert witnesses, to exhaustive cross examination, and he proposed to base his arguments for the discharge of his client, as does Attorney Mune- CT, upon this testimony.

May Get a Big

 For Black Rock
Harbor Master and Alder
 man Meyer Interest the Light House Department

Harbormaster Charles H. Morris said this afternoon that he expected the Department of Commerce and La bor would provide combination gas and bell buoy for Black Rock harbor and also buoy off the anchor basins in the local harbor The harbormaster and Alderman Eugene I. Meyer of the Harbor committee Of the Common Council, went to Staten Island, Satur- day, to see Chief c. D. Sterne, chief of the third lighthouse division. He gave them every encouragement and told them to get signatures of cap tains who use the harbor and also of large shippers. When these sigma lures are obtained and forwarded it is thought that the government will take immediate action.
 The harbormaster has been trying for long time to get the buoys He is particularly anxious about Black Rock harbor because there is a dan gerous reef on the east side of the channel which i4 protected now only by spar buoy.

No Prosecution
 Of The LiltIe Boy
 Who Killed Niece
Medical Examiner Convinced That Shooting of Natalie Donaldson Was Accidental

No prosecution will follow the tragic death of four-year-o Natalie Donald son, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Fred erick Donaldson, who was instantly killed by the discharge of a shotgun in the hands of 13-year-old William c. Smith, her uncle, at the home of her grandfather, William Smith. North avenue and King street, Stratford, at 2:30 yesterday afternoon.
 Medical Examiner W. B. Cogswell is satisfied that the whole affair was accidental. The little boy picked up the shotgun in the bedroom where he and the smaller child were at play, and accidentally discharging it, shat tered the child's head so that death occurred instantly. But a few mo- ments before the two principals in the tragedy had finished marching in the parade of the Bethany Mission Sunday school. The child's father is an en- gineer for the U. M. c. Go. There are three sisters and one brother of the deceased.
