After record of fifty years as a carriage maker and blacksmith, George | w. Harris has retired and will pass | his remaining days enjoying the re-
 suits of a well spent life. Although | in his 73rd year. MT. Harris has al
 ways been active. vigorous and en- | thusiastic In all his efforts MT. Harris was born in South Hampton, L. l.. Nov 2, 1842 and his younger days were passed in appreY1- his brothers employ in his blacksmith shop and he afterwards learned the | carriage makers trade.
 At the breaking out of the Civil war Mr. Harris wished to enlist and went as far as giving in his name. The captain of the company refused to take him, as he was under age and because his mother objected owing to his youth. Another of MT. Harris en- deavors were frustrated when he ask
 ed the captain of whaler to take him on a cruise.
 On June 13, 1862 MT. Harris came to Connecticut and in this city he
 worked in a shop later owned by P. | J O'Connor. He later went into com
 pany with MT O'Connor under the firm name of OConnOr and Harris. MT Harris was identified with this firm for ten years.

 the Pacific coast as far as the Nook
 sak river and then returned to Nor wich on November 31.
 For few years he worked for John
 H. Scott of the Scott and Clarke cor l poration and then bought from the
 Ramage estate the shop which he oc- cupied for the past 20 years or more
 at 354 West Main street. On ac-
 count of failing health MT. Harris re- 1 tired from business recently and has leased his shop to a blacksmith. MT.

many lands, but wherever you plant an Irish family, there you find men and women true to the faith that has come down to them from the days of St Patrick
 The Irish have always been noted for their love for the country of their birth and the land of their adoption Wherever they have gone they have loved the land that took them in and they have helped build up the country contributing their part conSpicuOusly whether in statesmanship or in war and the men now holding the highest positions in the English army are Irishmen.
 Where is the free country whose strength has not been increased by Irish blood and Irish brawn? Where ever the flag of liberty has been un- furled, the same intrepid spirit has been shown by IriShmen in the helI that they have given to the lands oi their adoption.
 If asked why the American people are so impulsive, I should say, saiC so much to their surroundings as tC the preponderance of Irish blood 1T their veins.
 Wherever Ireland has sent hel people, she has sent forth strong pure, bold peasantry and that is wha
 
 men of backbone and moral stamina and that is the kind of men that Ire. land has sent out.
 Years of persecution such as no other country has known has failed to rob them of their faith, which was the foundation of their individual and na- tiOnal character. There were 200 years when the mass was forbidden to be said, but it was said at night secret ly and in hidden spots in the woods or in caves and throughout all this bitter period the Irish people remained true to the message that St. Patrick had given them.
 Thus today the descendants of these people can lift up their heads with pride in such an ancestry. for in their veins flows the blood of kings and martyrs and saints. Let them then resolve never to be traitors to that blood nor unfaithfuI to those who have gone before them and it can be said of Ireland that her star is rising, her night of suffering is over and the full noon of her freedom will soon be heard.
 The music during the service was especially suited to the theme of the evening, Organist F. L. Farrell ren- dering the Irish airs and the hymn to St. Patrick being sung in fine voice by Mrs. Farrell, soprano, with John Sullivan, tenor, in the duet. The ad- dress was followed by benediction, ir which the hymn o Salutaris, was ren- dered by Miss Della Dufresne.

AN OLD RECIPE
 TO DARKEN HAIR Common garden Sage and Sulphur makes streaked, faded or gray hair dark and glossy at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Every body uses this old, famous recipe, be- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as 1t does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair taking one small strand at time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.
