The announced s3d anniversary of shaw's jewelry store in another col umn has prompted the printing of other history of those days, and about conditions at Putnam when the store was moved from the Thompson hili- top, thereby keeping in step with the progress of the times caused by the opening of the Norwich and Worcester railroad in 1889.

long gone Pomfret Factory are sorely bewildered. old landmarks have van. ished, the forests gone, the hills level ed or built up with houses, the very graves of their fathers removed to all ornamented cemetery. The roar of the falls is drowned in the clatter of ma chinery and steam engine. The homes and workshops of an enterprising and varied population crowd the narrow vale, and stretch out over the hills on every side Gradually and naturally the transformation has been effected. The Pomfret Factory station on tn Norwich and Worcester railroad open ed in 1859, was the outlet for Pomfret, Woodstock, parts of killingly and Thompson, and a wide radius inland. A depot village sprang up at once, bus saw .the great natural advantages of the site, bought up land and built houses Young men from the hill towns eXperimented in store keeping. i4AANtFS huu QbCtote uOubtiuttN AunS out their signs Asa Cutler of Killing ly was one of the first capitalists to in. vest in the growing village, building brick house for stores and many dwell- ing houses.

Chauffeur Dies at Wheel.

reenwich-Eugene Fighter, aged 3S, a chauffeur, was instantly killed when he lost control of his automo- bile, and the machine left the road, aollidtng with an iron fence, Fighter was thrown out, and his skull frac- tured and back broken.
 sIedieal Examiner Clark said that in his opinion the man must have been taken sick while at the wheel, for he could find no evidence of any attempt being made to stop the car. The machine had plunged at full speed over a considerable distance down the roadway, before the fence was met. Joseph Milbank, in whose employ the dead man had been for ten years, shares the same view Fighter leaves a widow and two ehil- dren.

Dramatic Recital

4 woman's life story, told in suc- eession of short, original poems, Is the best description Of the second enter tainment Of the choir course to be giV- en Wednesday evening, November l9. These poems written at intervals be- tween the age of fourteen and the pre- sent, have been published only in pa- pers and magazines: they have not yet been issued in book form.
 Opening with a surprisingly mature ''Brst attempt of the village school giri, the poems then shift their back ground to that of her married life, with all it's vieissitudes in her city home. Such poems as 'Springtime, and If l Gould Tell1 intimate the glowing happiness Of the first year in her new surroundings A feeting alusion is made in "My Second Self, ,"to the chil- dfen that came to this home.
 Not fef separated from these years, --rather, intefwoVen with them, as IS the case in avery life,-afe saddef days which speak through poems known as "The Little Quaker Day, and "Pouf, Rain, Pour.n With all their simple pathos they contain the very essence Of hopeful philosophy,-a philoso- phy which evidently gains its perma. nence from faith in an ail.wise direc- tor of tae universe. By the inspiring Iy brave verses of "Don't be afraid my heart" !" and by a short poem in the na. turo of parable, entitled "The King dom of Heaven," this optimistic faith Is shown.
 Nor is the spice of life found lack. Ing in this tale of woman's experi. ences. Those little poems known as "Things,n and "I have a Swedish Girp contribute touch of humor which is both keen and quaint. To many anothes such home-keeperss eyes they bring the glimmer of appre- ciative and sympathetic amusement.
 It Is not given to any life 10 escape the truly tragic days, be they few or many as they come. "Low Tide" a passionate, though ever self-contained outpouring of the binding grief "hich sooner or later every human lite must know, Is held by many to be the mas terpiece of the recital.
 There are those, both men and wom. en, however, whose hearts respond more swiftly to the supremely tHum. phant note of the closing poem, "To Live, but Just to Live"
 The violin solos which have been se- leeted entirely with view 10 accom-. panying the recital appropriately, are as follows:
