NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Famous Birthplace of Governors.
BY E. ]. Edwards

One afternoon in the summer OF
1873 the late Judge Learned Hebard
invited me to take q drive with him
SO that he might point out to me vari-
Gus points OF interest in the historic
town OF Lebanon. Conn. Hebard was
Tor many years judge OF probate of
That town. and he was the administra-

tuu, the younger. who vas at one
time governor of Connecticut.
tie took great interest In the his
tory OF that little farming town in
eastern Connecticut. His own home
was almost exactly opposite the war
oHice at Lebanon. now famous as
the meeting place on several occa-
sions OF General Washington and that
Governor Trumbull. whom Washing
ton used to call Brother Jonathan"
AS we rode by the green, Judge
Hebard pointed out TO me an excaya-
ton around which were some scatter

the request of Lafayette to aid the

state"
All these things are OF historic in
terest. Judge Hebard continued. but
there is another fact associated with
the history of this little town of which
the public has no knowledge. You

~ EAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Here is my letter of woe:

Here is my letter of woe:
I am a young girl. met a
man several years older than myself
last summer in the country, with
whom I fell in love. I loved him
and still love him so that the whole
world to me narrows down to just
him. I have never loved before and
don't think l can ever again.
He was exceptionally fond of me.
although he considered me somewhat
of a child-last summer He was
suddenly called away last summer
and we lost track of each other, but
as he goes to the same place every
year I confidently expected to see
him again this summer. 1 have
thought of him continuously all win
ter, and my love never cooled a bit.
The winter was a torture to me. /
simply existed longing for the sum-
mer, when l might see him again.
Well, l have seen him, and / have
learned that he married! He mar
ried a girl he used to tell me about.
She was exceedingly in love with
him also, and at one time, when he
was deathly sick, she nursed him
continuously for a number of months
and so he married her, although l
know that he wasn't in love with her.
Well, now l feel as II something
| within me has snapped, died-the
capacity to feel happy. l don't know
what to do with myself. l simply
can't bring myself to feel happy or
joyful again. Can you please tell me
what to do to take the thought of
him out of my mind and life. l feel
| that something must be done, or III
surely become melancholy. And I'm
only IS.
Thanking you in advance for some
advice, l am A YOUNG GIRL.
WHY, you poor dear little girl
w l wish l could take you right in
my arms and let you tell me all about
| it-and try to comfort you.
I'm afraid my trying wouldn't do
