One of Cassvllle's best loved wo-
men, Mrs. John Nickles, cast off the

Eliza beth Sparks Brown (natives of
Scotland) was born at Fairplay,
Wis. February 10, 1855. Was mar
ried to John Nickles September 90,
1871, at British Hollow, by Mr..
Stevens J. P. Their first child, a
boy, died in infancy. Their home
was on a farm near Burton until
they moved to Cassville in March
1908. Their son John Jr. lives on
the old homestead. The only draw
back to happiness in the Nickles
household was the lack of health of
wife and mother Although ailing
for twenty years, by her courage
and energy supplemented by skill
full treatment, she was still very
useful woman-at home, in the
church, as a member of the fraternal
societies, and as friend and neigh
Dor. Her last illness began about
Christmas. February 1st she went
to the home of her son Will in Du
buque and was brought home from
there June 90 Cheerful and hope
full she made a brave struggle for
life but uncomplain1ngly faced the
inevitable and calmly talked over
final affairs with members of her
family. Although DESTROYS of re-
naming with her loved ones she
longed to be at rest. All the i'm
mediate family except Mrs. Fengler
were in attendance at the funeral
which was held at the home, thence
to the Adventist church, with inter
ment in the adjoining cemetery.

The workshops of the Metropolitan Auto & Carriage Co. was very busy spot when the representative of this paper had occasion to call there this week, all departments rushing at top notch speed in order to keep pace with the rapidly growing business of this progressive concern. Workmen hustling to bring their endeavors to a successful termination in order to make the prompt deliveries which has become the slogan of the company. As one glanced around the workshops you could observe auto bodies being built for local parties, a large order for the Southern New England Tel. Co.,, Stamford and New York parties and a mammoth body to be used by the Salts Textile Co. and which will be seen through our city streets next week. Autos being renovated, repair ed and painted, iii fact one of the busiest spots in Bridgeport at the present time is the Metropolitan Auto & Carriage Go.

AnDeal Concernine Parks.

This measure gives to the automo- bf1ist a right to appeal from the Park Board of a city to the Board of AL dermen of that city in case the pub lie parks are closed to the automob1l- ist. This measure should receive the support of every automobilist as an appeal would result in opening sever al beautiful parks to the automobtl- ists of the state, for example East and West Rock Parks in New Haven. The Board of Aldermen of the city of New Haven has. directed the corporation counsel to to appear before the Com nittee and favor this bill. It should be passed.
 We have now put the matter up to you. Your Legal Committee will do it's share but it cannot do all the work. Come to this hearing and let the Committee and your Senator and Representatives see that you are vii tally interested.

SMALLER CARS ARE. IN GREATER FAVOR
 THAN EVER BEFORE
Miles V. Doud Discusses Condi- tions of Industry-D. & H. Go. to Remove to New
 Quarters

Although weather conditions have tended to keep down the early sales of automobiles in Connecticut during the past winter, the outlook for the spring is particularly bright and this summer will undoubtedly see more new and prettier cars upon the streets of Bridgeport than ever before. Such was the statement of Miles ". Doud, of the D. & H. Distributing company, sales agent for the Kline Kar and Koehler Motor Truck at his office ITO Cannon street yesterday afternoon
 As MT. Doud with over fifteen years experience to back his assertion, is undoubtedly one of the most eminent 1y qualified automobile dealers in this which. he has been identified in all capacities, one will look with no sur prise to a great advance in traffic volume this cummer.
 The business and professional mar as well as the man of 1fesure is to- necessity for quick transportation, and even the housewife is urging the acquisition of cars in the home.
 Where the average ownership of a car has heretofore been considered more from the .. pleasure standpoint general realization of It's necessity in all social and industrial circles has occasioned considerable change ip design.
 While in a great measure beauty of lines has been conserved, there has been a tendency away from the larger car, where it has been found that friendship necessftated the carrying of many superabundant passengers- and today there is room for but two and three at the utmost in the popu- lar car. Economy has also. dictated designing convertible limousine tops- capable of being adjusted in a short space of time and by owners them- selves
 the sale of the larger touring car. was not proportfonate to that of fhesmaIIer type body. Asked for an illustration among the cars of Bridgeport he said that but few Of the torpedo limousine type were upon the streets as yet but referred to the car recently pur- chased by Carl Seimon of the Seimon Hard Rubber company an iI1ustra- ton of both convenience and beauty
 Speaking of the Kline Kar, several recent sales are reported among them being one to Clifford Bruce the well known leading man of the Cleveland Stock company, George Burns of the Burns company, MT. L. E. Sage, and others.
 With the addition of the Koehler truck, large business for which is promised in the rural communities as an accessory to the farmer in trans porting his product, it has recently been found necessary to enlarge the garage facilities of this growing con- cern and a lease has been signed for the premises at 227 State street where the opportunities for showing these cars will be more adequate.

II O'Clock at the Vatican.

What with telephones. hydraulic
lifts. and wireless telegraphy, the
vatican is becoming one of the most
up-to-date palaces in Europe. The
latest innovation in. the home OF the
Holy Father is the new. system of
numbering the hours. We have be-
fore us ticket admitting to a Papal
audience, and the bearer is requested
to be in the pontifical ante-chamber
at II o'clock. The Master of the
Chamber realizes, however, that
there are old-fashioned persons who
have not the slightest idea whether
II o'clock is in the middle Of the night
or at midday. He, therefore kindly
explains in brackets that II o'clock,
new style, is O'clock in the after
noon, old style. The new system is
adopted in many Continental time
tables, and has the advantage OF con-
founding the hours a. m. with those
p. m. 1t is a simple and convenient
plan, and will doubtless be adopted
in England some day, along with the
metric system and some other quite
useful Continental notions. 1t was
tried in Scotland about 80 years ago,
but not perseveringly. and the few
twenty-four hour clocks erected In
Glasgow were the marvel of a few
months and were then removed.

Chanel on Historic spot.

A few miles south of Fredericks-
burg, and very near the place where
"Stonewall" jackson breathed his
last, chapel is being erected. The
spot is wellS marked by the battles
Of the Civil War. The souls of many
Catholic soldiers took their flight
there, and there are few to breathe
prayer for their souls. Their bones
are scattered almost everywhere, in
the cornfields, on the road corners,
under the trees, and no Liturgy read
over them. Within a radius Of twenty
miles of this little church Of the An
nunciation Of the Blessed Virgin are
the battlefields Of Charlottesville,
Fredericksburg, and that of the Wild
erness.
The erection of this church is a
godsend to the poor Catholics of the
community who have little in this
world save the comforts of church,
and who, up until this time, were
without even that, and whose spirit
ual wants were ministered to by a
devoted missionary priest.

weather is only an unfortunate opin-

II that makes each day what it is.
You, within yourself, can make each
day, every day, a good day. Put

day is a life." When you get up in

ers, take a deep breath. Meet the

another day-another life!' For

We'll ever have. Let's make 1t the
best day We can. Let's strive to see
that it Is day worth while. Let's

Be q Listener.

While conversational ability is
rluch to be envied, good listener is
regarded with as much appreciation
as a good talker. In many cases the
woman who has established the repu.
tation for brilliant conversation is
SO eager to exploit her accomplish
ment that she completely eclipses
those who would like once in while
to get word in edgeways, and VINO
in consequence gratefully turn to
the appreciative listener, whose brief
and intelligent interpolatians scint-
illate more brilliantly, from the bored
ones point of view, than do the
flowery epigrams Of the sparkling
monologue of the good talker.
