NEW OFFICE BUILDING
FOR TROLLEY COMPANY.
Buys Residence of the Late Waterman
r. Burnham,

The residence of the late Waterman
r. Durham, located at No. 1862 Main
street, has been sold to the Shore
Line Electric Railway company, who
intend to occupy the property as an
Office building. Its value to the Shore
Line is increased by the fact that the
property is situated on the main line
and all cars pass there. Extensive al
terations and improvements are to be
made in the building, and when 1t is
ready for occupancy it will be one of
the finest office buildings in the city.
The company offices are at present To-
Gated in the Thames Loan and Trust
company building on Shetucket street.
The Main street frontage of the
property is 155 feet and on the Park
street side there is a frontage of $50
feet. The house is three stories high,
of brick construction. and has Is
rooms. 1t was erected 20 years ago by
the late Erastus OSgood, grandfather
of Charles H. and Frederic L. Osgood,
of Washington street, and was occu-
pied by him as a residence for a num-
Der OF years. Later 1t was sold to
Willett F. Wood, who disposed of ii
to Mr.. Durham. Mr.. Burnham moved
into the house in 1872 and made his
home there up to his death last Au-
gust. Its sale to the Shore Line COM
pany was made through the agency OF
James L. Case.
The company is planning to build
a two story addition on the rear OF
the building, the walls for the addi-
ton to be an extension of the pres
ent walls on the same line. In the
addition are to be built vaults, those
on the first hcbr for books and pa.
pers and those on the second floor
for blue prints, reports, ETC., which the
company keeps on file for severa
years. There will also be accommo.
dations for checkers and counters II

 Another slugging match was in the American League between Chicago and Cleveland, 13 to 6 in favor of Chicago. It has no bearing on the pennant, but goes to show that every body is hitting the ball whenever he can, without instructions from any one.
 It all goes to show that hitting the balP wins. The great New York Giants have dropped from first place to nothing this year because they re- lied on classy pitching instead of classy hitting.

Such is Fame!

t. In spite of his advanced age, that
wonderful veteran, Sir Evelyn Wood,
manages, by his energy and enthusi-
asm, to show patriotic example that
has done not little to stimulate re-
cruiting. says Pearson's Weekly.
During his long career in the army
Sir Edward has had many amusing
experiences, and he himself relates
the following against himself:
The famous soldier, like the late
Lord Roberts, is noted for his short
stature and when he returned home
from Egypt an entertainment was
given in his honor at his home in Nor
folk. A big crowd of people had as
sembled to welcome him and. among
them was an agricultural laborer's
wife, who was very anxious to see the
popular hero.
(which is i'm? Which is inn
she kept on asking, and at last, when
Sir EVELYN came in sight, bystander
ro;nted him out to her.
"What?" she exclaimed in tones Of
deep disgust. That little man Sir
Evelyn Woodo Why, even my old
man could thrash him"

ceived a full line of Christmas Goods.

DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS
When the Joy OF Your 1Kiddies
Brings Tender Memories Of
Years Ago.

! In these strenuous shopping days,
writes Louis James, have you caught
yourself remembering suddenly, in all
sorts of queer, unexpected places, all
sorts Of queer, half forgotten things?
Have you remembered how these days
before Christmas are the wonderful
days in the life Of the child, more
wonderful days, perhaps, than any
that are to come?
You know that yourself. You can't
help recalling how time went by those
days before the great day. You re-
member how each day seemed some
how more wonderful than the one be-
fore, each day prelude Of real Joy
to that first marvellous moment OF
Christmas morning, when, after
night of little If any sleep, you scram-
bled up and stood breathless on the
threshold of the room which had been
forbidden you all those interminable
hours that went before. :
The child you take with you through
the wonderlands of the modern toy
department wants what you did. The
little girl stops before the baby doll,
wide eyed, still with desire. The boy
stands flooded with happiness before
an ark in which is every imaginable
creation. You remember what small
thing your own was, a fourth the size.
But his JOY is no greater than yours.
He pushes toward the rocking horse.
Now it runs by machinery, when once
you ran your own across the floor to
the imminent danger of total destruc-
ton to persons and furniture that
might stand in the way. But Christ
mas day was your day. The day when
"don'ts'' were not and you were king
or queen in your kingdom of toys.
You pass on to trains and there
again electricity is running them. You
pulled them yourself.
Then you catch the look on the face
of your boy. He is watching the huge
engine move slowly, smoothly along. 1t
passes under infinite tunnels and
bridges and over made hills that pre-
sent intricate difficulties of passage.
Your tunnels were of chairs and the
table in your kitchen made splen-
did bridge to cross.
He turns to you, the child of this
twentieth century. His smile is be-
attic. He wants it-that train. He
never wanted anything so much be-
fore. He never will again he is
sure
And as you move away you smile, q
little sadly, a little gladly. You are
proud to be able to make him SO
wonderfully happy, this child of yours,
but you are sure, too, that he is no
happier than you we're these same pre-
Christmas days, those years before.
