 FRATERNAL BODY
Eokol Society Purchases Former Headquarters of
 Line Officials.

The old Naugatuck Railway and Bridgeport steamboat office building at the southeast corner of Main street and South avenue. which has been bearded up for several years, will be converted into a meeting hall and club room by the Sokol society of this city. w ith the passing of control of the old structure from railroad ownership memories of many wealthy residents of Bridgeport will be carried back to the time when they served their ap- prenticeship in the great railroading industry and when Bridgeport was the ttde=water terminal of many lines that have since been made a part of one great system. Presidents and vice- presidents of the New Haven have clerlxed in the old days, in the build ing that, will now be frightened up inside and outside and will again be- come a center for the social activities of the Polish residents of the South End.
 The building was erected in the late 5O's or the early sos when the Naug- atuck railroad ran to a station at the foot of South avenue. It housed then all the general offices of the railroad, Including the president, treasurer chief clerk and general ticket agent. housed the offices of Superintendent George w. Beach. Still later the Bridgeport Steamboat Go. had it's of fires in the building and President B. F. Bishop was located there

Mum son Tomlinson. later a vice president of the New Haven; Horace Nichols, treasur ers James Potter. J. EAA Jenkins, who became president of the consoli- dated Bridgeport & Peoples lines of steamers. and William Staples. chief clerk.
 When the Naugatuck railroad was absorbed by the New Haven system during the late. 80's, the offices were removed to New Haven and the build ing was rented for lodging purposes. George Pitt. who is still employed in the New Haven service for many years. was caretaker of the structure. F k The frontage on Main street is about 100 feet by l 36 in depth. The build ing. which is solidly constructed of brick, is somewhat in disrepair, but the interior is said to be in good con dttIon- The old treasury safe of the Naugatuck railroad. which has held hundreds of thousands of dollars, is still intact.
 The building will soon be occupied by the SokoE society. Local No. J36, which now occupies small club qdar- fers at 23 Main street. Another and larger hall is located on Hallett street.

Prices.

When / got married years ago
The cost of everything was low.
A little money, wisely spent,
Took care OF food and clothes and rent
But I had scarcely settled down,
When cyclone prices struck the town.
And carried grub and garb so high
l had to heave a heavy sigh.
+ Up went the price of eggs and meat,
Potatoes, cabbage, corn and wheat
! OF milk and butter. beans and peas,
/ OF turnips. onions, lard and cheese
Then leather took it's upward flight,
Till boots and shoes went out of sight.
Nobody but the husband knows
The cost of shoes with toothpick toes
Or just how light his pocket feels,
When he has paid for fancy heels.
Smart women now can regulate
Their size, complexion, height and
weight,
By frill and f1ounce and color scheme
That make them look an artists dream
With no defects in shape to see
Just paragons of symmetry.
So there's abroad in this new land
A very wide and firm demand
That makes all clothing spread it's
wings
To soar as high as other things.
When I behold a headgear store
My brain begins to whirl and roar
cannot tel exactly why
Unless 1t ,kes the dollars fly
AS l waa r, the cunning stork
At once a me an easy mark,
And year " year she thought it best
To drop one more into the nest,
Till there's so many yawning throats
have to spend my hard earned groats
AS soon as made. for flesh and fish,
And every other hearty dish,
OF which a father ever hears,
Or I should have to stop my ears,
And leave my home and friends and
goods
To seek a roost within the woods
AS 1 beheld the prices rise,
1 knew 1 must economics,
And learn the art the buyers know,
Who make a silver dollar go,
In getting goods, as far as two,
With those who know not what to do.
This problem is not solved by rules,
The kind the children learn in schools
It's solved by downright common sense,
In life's great school-experience
Another thing, I've come to see
1t pays to get high quality
No people ever saved their rolls
In buying shoes with paper soles,
Or raiments whose gay colors may
Change every hour in the day.
A thousand schemers lie in wait
With fifty kinds of tempting bait,
And, with the most alluring looks.
They try to get you on their hooks
SO while the prices soar so high
My good friends need not wonder whv
l do the latest in finance
Just keep my greenbacks in my pants
Alexander l.. HARRINGTON. ,
