1t was afterwards apparent to NAL
bone that the mare had not gone far
when she missed him. Turning the
vehicle around, evidently with great
difficulty, she travelled back along the
road till she came upon MaIbone lying
unconscious and partly buried in the
snow. Here the faithful animal whin-
MED and paved and breathed upon the
fallen man until she succeeded in
arousing him to such alertness as to
cause him to realize his condition.
He finally managed to pull himself
into the vehicle and to drive the horse
home and always thereafter, and with
great good cause, attributed to the
horse the saving of his life.
Years afterwards when he was
about to die he directed that no per-
son should ever hold a rein over Dol
ly's back and expressed the wish that
she might be laid at rest beside him
soon after he had passed away.
Malbone's death occurred October
II. 1884, following an injury he re-
ceived while attempting to lift a heav-
lily loaded wagon so a tire could be
reset on the wheel from which it had
fallen. Regaining consciousness after
a period of several days, he directed
practically with his dying breath what
should be done with Dolly. this SEEM
ingly being of much more concern to
him that the disposition of his other
worldly possessions. Two weeks after
MaIbone's death his wishes were car
ried out by Sanford Davis and other
neighbors. One night at dusk they
led Dolly into the little cemetery to
a position near grave that had been
prepared for him and a bullet put a
quick end to her existence. Her grave
is close beside that of her master, who
had lived his life alone.
The marble shaft that rises above
their resting place bears on one face
the usual form of inscription relative
to MaIbone and upon another face
the following: Dolly His Faithful
Horse. Died October 25, 1884
Seventeen persons. all relatives of
Malbone's, are buried in the little plot
where rest the tnseparable pair.

The class recently confirmed will
make its first communion Sunday
morning at 1915. Evening prayer will

attendance at DR.. Hudson's lecture

evening, after evening prayer.

Dantelson who have for years been
hyphenated against their will, their de-
sire and their right by many who chose
to exclusively reserve to themselves the
right to claim the full and UNQUALIFIED
title of American, indeed a proud dis
tlnction. If. in some quarters, the by
phen is at present an Indication of lack
of loyalty and patriotism to this gov
eminent, it is not to be taken that all
of those who have had the hyphen
forced upon then-nen of many races
have welcomed it or accepted it,
when united with the word American
the designation that it has been too
often meant to imply. 1t has been
too generally used to separate and
humiliate, millions of men, women and
children by unthinking americans
from that great percentage of the pop
ulation which exalts itself as unhy-
phenated and, as a whole, superior to
any other portion of the population
upon which by any stretch of imagi-
nation or truth, the subordinating spe-
cial classification of hyphenation can
be fixed.
There are in Danielson many fam
lilies the heads of which were foreign
born The children of these, now in
many cases past the half-century mark
in years, were born in this town, edu-
Gated in its schools and employed in
many lines of its daily activities They
have never claimed residence outside
the good old state of Connecticut
They have never set foot off United
States soil, and never wish to. The
only flag they know and Iove-the flag
they are willing to die for if need be
is the Star SpangIed Banner. Yet
these persons are habitually hyphen-
ated, characterized as German, French
Irish, Italian ad infinitum and made
by this practice to feel that they have
never attained to what is unqualified
ly American and may never hope to-
These people SO unWilIingIy hyphen-
ated, have all the respect in the world
Tor the races from which they came
but that respect in no way whatso-
ever has to do with their loyalty to
and love for this, their own native
land. Hyphenating them in derisive
and sneering tones moreover las not
lessened their patriotism nor is likely
to, though those who have often SUBJ
jected them to ridicule in this manner
have in many cases been their mental
and moral interiors.
1t appears that a world crisis has
been required to win for generations
of descendants of immigrants to this
country nationwide arguments for the
abolition of the hyphen, in this case
the equivalent of inequality, in citi-
zenship, loyalty, fidelity to country and
hope for the future. Much has been
heard Of this in Danielson recently,
Here to live, love, labor and die, hun
dreds will welcome the emancipation
that the talked of abolition of the
hyphen will bring to them.

The family was evidently in town
for the Memorial day exercises, the
incident referred to having occurred
Monday, and had not the necessary
courage to go and ask for a drink
at places where water might be had.

approached has not been made public.
