ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER
When Sister Loses Brother-A Break That Leaves Scar-
 What Girl Loses.

When a son marries, if he is an only child, I alw2ss feel sorry for the mother But if he has a sister to whom he has been devoted up to the time that a sweetheart usurped her place in hds affections. then she is the one to whom my sympathy goes forth an have ba m miad hadnd young m ha man +hIIp aaq older brothers and sisters called ttthe second batch
 The older ones were all married and and naturally they became constant and lowing companions. When the mother died the boy was twelve, the girl ten
 From that time they became even more insepara bas. Gme suEnmer when the brother was Just ftwenty-one, a girl came to visit a neiga1hor. The young people met and with the boy it was love at first sight
 don't believe ever saw exh1- bition of more beautifuI and unselfsh bravery, than that shown by the sis ter when she realized that she was no longer first with .tbrother.'''
 Instead of being the one to drive with him, 8 comparative stranger oc- cupied her place. Instead of having her brother home at night in the cosy compan1onship which similar musical and aI1 literary taste engendered. he was dressing up and trotting off to sing and play with the fascinating visitor. E Though the sister never said a word, her sweet face with it's wiStful almost
 
 heart When finally the pair were enga ged, she put up brave front and professed to be delighted that she was to have a sister so near her age.
 The nights that she cried herself to sleep, however, refuted this attitude. The day. the bride and groom left on their honeymoon, the little maid of honor smiling through mist of tears was a spectacle of pathetic renuncia- 6ion.
 Of course you will say. Shell get I the natural course of events this con clllsdon is likely to prove true. But we women know, even though we may not have had to bear an exactly sim liar hurt, that such sacrifices where our truly beloved ones are concerned; leave deep ugly scars, even though the wounds heal
 Thus as said at the beginning, T feel the keenest sympathy for the sis ter who gives her only brother to an other. I hope that we all as women and sisters will stretch out helping hand to any little sister called upon to go through this ordeal

MAY TAKE CASE OF FOK'S BIRD DOG
 TO SUPREME COURT

The killing of a bird dog belonging to Selectman Charles s. Fox of Fair fife Id has made such a legal tangle that the matter may be taken to the supreme court of errors F'ox's dog was run over by Isiah Terry's auto mobile on June, 1911 and died from the injuries.
 Fox brought suit against Terry, who lives in Bethel and recovered $75 from Justice McAlpin of Fairfield.
 Terry's lawyer, Attorney Robert H. Gould of this city, filled demurrer which the justice overru1ed and Judge Scott in the court of common pleas heard an appeal from the justice g decision today. The matter may be taken 10 the supreme court upon the point that the owner of an auto IS not responsible in the case where the animal killed was negligent.

HOBOES ARE LOOKING UP WINTER QUARTERS

All roads lead to Bridgeport and the annual fall rush of vagrants, tramps, and other Knights of the Road who have not already been up- ped off to apply elsewhere, are edg1ng this way in an attempt to secure the star-chamber places in the county almshouse. Superintendent of Char ities Johnson, is daily interviewed by the fraternity for accomn o datdons, and as they are now compelled to pass a rigid physical and personal examination, the result is that few enter and a general dislike for the genial superintendent is recorded by the fraternity.
 An old friends of the Home ap- peared a few days ago-one who has wintered in Bridgeport for the past A years. Although physicau well and able bodied, his constitutional dis like for work inpels him to journey during the summer, returning here in the winter. Besides leaving the institution without permission on IS different occasions in the past, he has also been suspected of purloinfng g clothes. He was much disgruntled because no warm welcome was ex- tended.
