which the church authorities propose to erect in the east end of this city. Property has already been purchased and it is believed the church will be erected in the near future.
 The Herald made an effort to se- cure official confirmation of the rumor today by seeking information at the episcopal residence. It was stated there that no appointment had been made, so far as was known.
 New Britain Catholics would be ex- tremely gratified if Bishop Milan saw fit to appoint Father Fitzgerald to the new parish. The priest was for mcrlN a curate at St. MArN's church in this city and he has q large circle of friends who would rejoice at his return. While in this city Father Fitzgerald endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact and news more pleasing than his appoint ment to the parish would be almost inconceivable among Catholics.
 Father Fitzgerald is president of the Connecticut c. T. A. U. and is probably as we'll known as any tenn perance advocate in New England. He is an ardent worker against the liquor evil and his eloquence is con- tinually directed against the traffic, Since going to Poquonock Father Fitz- gerald has made a number of visits to this city and the annual anniver- sary exercises of the Young Mems T. A. & B. society would hardly be com plete without his presence.
 Further strength to the rumor that Father Fitzgerald is to be the pastor of the new church is given by the fact that he was in this city yester- day and examined the site.

SUCH IS LIFE

Riding on the train in Western
Nortl. Carolina during the holidays
the editor noticed several amusing
incidents that would make interest
ing reading but this particular
nature study will suffice this time.
In the seat in front of US sat two
men, ages approximately SIS and 80.
The elder man was clean shaved
except a white stubby moustache,
broad brimmed black hat, prominent
cheek bones, red complexion, eyes
that shone like diamonds, large ears
that cut figure S on the side of his
head-he was what | sized him up
to be, moonshiner, whose eyes had
become trained to constant watch
ing for the revenue officers. The
younger of the two had on slouch
hat, three weeks growth of beard,
colored collar, nose like the eagles
and eyes as sharp as the owl. He
was the "ole mans son. But the
picture is not completed. They had
opened up a half gallon of sour pick
les and a box of tea cakes and the
two ate the pickles and cakes as
fast as the average man would get
rid of a dozen marshmallows.
Surely the stomachs were copper
lined like the still they had operated
so long. Gee, what would the edi-
tor give for such a healthy stomach
Across the aisle from this couple
sat a business man with his lunch
of tempting articles, dainty sand
wiches wrapped in tissue paper
fancy cakes. bottle of wine and
apples and oranges to top off" with.
Quite contrast to the sour pickle
lunch.
Two seats in front of the business
man sat a mother with a one-year-
old tugging at her breast, all three
cases satisfying their hunger IN
their own way-.but such Is
life!
To be todd" or whether or not the
circumstances caused it we arose
and went to the dining car to satisfy
our longing for something between
sour pickles and milk j!
