CANAAN IS BENEFITED
New lime Schedules Bring More Rail
 roaderS Here.

New lime Schedules Bring More Rail
 roaders Here.
 The new time tables went into effect Sunday and trains have been running uniformly on time.
 The withdrawal of the train formerly arriving at Canaan from the south at 10:08 is a source of disappointment to many residing south of this place and inconvenience those desiring to make connections with the west. bound fore noon train here. However, the child ren attending the Canaan High School, from stations south, are accommodated, as before, until the end of the school term, this week, by running the train from Danbury through to Canaan, ar- irving here on the old time, 10:08. This will be discontinued, however, after tomorrow, when the school term ends.
 There are some crew changes here, under the new arrangement. The crew of the Pittsfeld- Canaan passenger train arriving here at 8:02 p. m., will transfer to the up milk train and go back to Pittsfeld; the milk train crew remaining here until the arrival Of the south bound milk train. leaving here at 2:15, the next day.
 The crew of the south bound milk train arrive here at 1850 p. m. and tie up, leaving for Pittsfeld with the north bound freight at 10:E0 the fol- lowing day.
 These changes should prove more advantageous to the business interests of Canaan, than the recent arrange ment whereby the crew of the "jitney" north end train simply remained over night Under the new schedule two crews remain not only over night but a considerable part of the day and must result in the influx of a number of railroaders' families into the town. The change is a good thing for Canaan.

 The singing was from the hymn leafet used during the recent mission.

such wretche,lness and bliss as the
evening brought him.

the next day. She would have avoid

ushered him up TO the sewing-room

cape. She had not seen the boy for
two months, and the change In him
startled her. He was thinner, rather
hectic. scrupubusly well dressed.
"Why, joel" she said. and then:
wont you sit DOWN."
He was still rather theatrical. He
dramatlzed himself as he had that
night the June before when he had
asked Sidney to marry him. He stood
Just inside the doorway. He offered
ne conventional greeting whatever;
but, after surveying her briefly. her
