Prices Give Cheer
 For Thanksgiving
Turkey and Fowl Remain at Old PriCe-MinOr Dinner Details Show Only Slight Increase Is Thanksgiving Custom Be- coming Obsolete?
(Hartford Courant.)


 With Thanksgiving only nine days off, the industrious housewife has al- ready figured out how many of her family will be gathered about the table. By the end of the week she will have had her menu firmly fixed in her mind, ready bright and early next week to go marketing.
 The general cry about the high cost of living has not helped to encourage the provider of the family, but a can- afternoon has proved these fears groundless. The consensus among Hartford retail dealers concerning the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner, with all the fixins, in comparison with last year is that it will be practically the same. The market will be plentiful. y supplied with all the goJd things wn. ch and it's connections and, best of al the dealers declare that the prices will be reasonable. Only in a few minor details of the things generally seen upon a Thanksgiving dinner table will change in price be noted.
 Dea CTS say that there will be plen- Iy of turkeys this year and of litt.e better quality. perhaps. than at the same time last year. Western turkeys will range from 9 to 28 cents, while York state birds will bring 30 cents. The best native turkeys will se.l for 35 cents, which is the same as last year. While the majority prefer tur- key, many reserve this fowl for Christ mas time and feast on duck or goose on Thanksgiving Day. The market will be we'll supplied with both this year, ducks selling for from p to 2e cents a pound and geese for 20 and 25 cents. Chickens will be worth from 25 to 30 cents pound. For some these prices may be out of reach, and roast pork and lamb will constitute their dinner. for the day. The best pork will be worth 15 to IS cents a pound and lamb will se.l for from Is to 20 cents.
 But whoever thinks of a Thanksgiv- ing dinner without mince pie, cranber- ry sauce, turnips, celery, fruit and all the rest of the little things which mother takes so much pride in? Cran- berries will be found at the same price, 15 cents a quart. Celery has advanced a little and will be worth 15 to IS cents bunch. Likewise, nuts are worth more this year and will be sold for 20 cents a pound. Imported grapes will sell for P and 9 cents a pound. an advance of cents, and the native grapes will go at IS cents a basket. Mince meat and all the other fxings and de,icatessen will be found at their old prices.
 This year will probably find more families uniting at hotels and inns than ever before. The dealers are practically united in saying that few CT families are staying home for this intensely American ho iday every year and the old custom of getting every member of the family home for at least one day in the year is waning. The day has been observed since 1865 as a national institution, and is the only religious festival celebrated in the United States by virtue of the author ity of the civil government

A Real Opportunity.

Look for the property H. l.. Black man x Son are offering for sale in Easton, about seven miles from this city, and about the highest point 'in the state. It has never been offered for sale before by any one, but has been the talk of the people for the past 50 years. Round Hill as it is known by, offers very fine scenery of the surrounding country and Long Island sound. 1t would be very hard to find another piece of property con- sisting of 20 acres of land such as this. We call your attention to the extreme height of this property, being about 1,20O feet above the sea level. It is well worthy of your quick at- teutton.

Cheshire, Nov. 22-Charles Brooks and Charles Dieble, both of Southing- ton, had very trying and exciting experience yesterday afternoon, while hunting in the mountains of West Cheshire In. their search for game they entered upon the property of J.

She covered Brooks with it and commanded a farm hand to re- lieve him of his arms. After theagun was taken into the house she allowed the hunters to depart They immedi- tie of Cheshire and sought his advice in the matter. He, in turn, advised them to consult with Prosecutor Brown of Southington, which they did. Brown advised that the town con- stable proceed to the Winslow resi- dence and demand the return Of the gun. Constable Fred Brooks, with two assistants, left at once for the scene of the hold-up.
 Brooks entered the house and de- manded the surrender of the stolen gun With a frantic effort Mrs Win slow grabbed, the revolver again and made a dash for the door, yelling Q grappled with her and succeeded in wrenching the revolver from her hand.
 She was a woman of powerful physi- que and it was with difficulty that she was handcuffed. After being sub dued she broke down completely and begged not to be taken to jail.
 She offered to return the gun and pay the costs of the constable and assistants. On account of her physi- cal condition this was agreed to, and the hunters returned to Southington none the worse for the dangerous moments they had passed through. Mrs. Winslow seemed desperate and showed by a shot fired over the hunt ers' heads that the revolver was load ed
