Disease Strikes Twice With in Week and Another Vic
 tim is Likely.

Twice within a week has pneumonia taken it's toll from the family of Charles P. Grantham of 55 Stratfeid road, and that it is likely to strike again is apparent as the elderly man himself. suffering from the same dread nalady, has been removed to the Bridgeport hospital, where this morn ing his wife.

XMAS GIFTS ARE PILED
 AT POST OFFICES
Many a Remembrance Fail ed to Reach It's Destina
 tion This Year.

A pathetic pile of about 100 Christi mas gifts that did not reach their des- tinatio11s is lying on the floor of the local postofhce,t awaiting Identification. .'To Edgar from Grandma reads the card on a gaiiy colored pop gun. "Peggie'' is engraved on a small silver baby spoon and aJ. A is the inscrip- ton on a silver napkin ring, the ad- dress of which is "Jobie, from An nie."
 Loving fingers have carefully em- .broid cred a large ttA on pretty set of linen napkins. and there are books and aprons and kimona mater ials, while sturdy little iron 1ocomo- tive that winds with a key is one of the first things to attract the eye. There are even shoes and slippers, and while it was probably not intended for a Christmas gift, there is a bottle of eatsup in the pile.
 Parts of a vacuum cleaner and set of non skid chains for an automo bile are included An amusing fact IS that neekties seem to pred dominate
 These are the gifts that have fallen by the wayside'' because they were i'm properly wrapped and the addresses have been torn away from them or because they have become loosen9d from the parent package, and slipped out The addresses are lost.
 They make a sad little group. these strayed gifts, as stranger eyes look down on the little messages of love and greeting. Edgar is probably hurt because "Grandmas' did not send him anything this Christmas and so with each lost gift z
 Tine articles will be kept for some time Anyone who can identify any of them and sign a. receipt may have the gift that belongs to him Those that are not identified will be sent to the dead letter office, a fate which, it is probaaSIe, awaits most of them.
