NOT FROM WATERBURY.
Old Gentleman Likes His Prospective
 Son-in-law in Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 12.--The old gentleman in his heart did not object to the young gentleman as son-in- law, but he liked to raise objections ana then reach an agreement as though conferring a favor. When the young man called he was ready for him.
 'So', he interrupted, fiercely, almost before the suitor could commence. you want me to let you marry my daughter, do you?"
 The young man very coldly respond
 II didn't say so, did I?"
 But" the old gentleman gasped, 'you were going to say SOL"
 ''Who told you I was?" inquired the applicant, seeing his advantage
 But you want me to let you marry her, don't you?'
 "No."
 "No!" exclaimed the old gentleman, almost falling off the chair.
 That's what I said.'
 Then what the mischief do you want?"
 q want you to give your consent" GoploO tile yOuIll, plSdodHIly. dlIl going to marry her, anyhow, but we thought your consent wouldn't be Q bad thing as start.
 It took the old gentleman a minute to realize the situation. When he did he put out his hand.
 Shake hands, my boy,' said he. i've been looking for a law with some pluck about him, and I'm sure you'll do first class.''

RAILROADS MAY ASK

Washington, Oct. 12.-Reports that the railroads are considering infor- mally asking the government to help them in some way to obtain money with which to maintain and enlarge their present plants and equipment to enable them to cope with the high tide of traffic are regarded by officials soon toward that end.
 What form this move will assume apparently has not yet been decided by the roads themselves.

SOMEWHERE AT SEA-

How It Feels to Grope About in Atlantic Fog

With personal parts and military information censored, two letters from William c. Buell. to his parents, MT. and Mrs. Fred Buell. of 78 Win throp street are reproduced below. Buell., who is a member of the Amer ican Field Ambulance Corps and fight ing. Somewhere in France" tells of the trip from New York to Halifax. The letters follow:
 July "A. 1917. Dear Father and Mother:-
 We are out of sight of land. This is the first time have ever been out of sight of land and 1t is funny to look on all sides and see nothing but water, water, water.
 We have four meals a day. At my table there are two others who are in the ambulance corps and four off cers in the Thirteenth Railway Engi- neers from the middle west. These engineers have been meeting the No. 13 everywhere. They were sworn into the Federal service the 18th. there are 13 companies in the corps, this is the 18th round trip for this boat and the 26th single trip since she has seen a U-boat. Some of them have life boat No. IS while others have been assigned to life raft No. 13. It is funny but 13 stares them in the face everywhere they turn. I'm glad I am not superstitious..
 'The ship has been headed for the Mediterranean sea all night . :. We continue in a zigZag course at all times. It is very foggy but still the fog horn is not blown. A man is aft at the gun at all times, one man in each tower and one in the bow. There is no danger from U-boats here but "safety first" This trip completes the 30th round trip for this vessel in two years. Only two U-Boats have been sighted in that time.
 Tt was very warm last night but we have an electric fan in the state room which keeps the air stirred up if it isn't fresh and so I sleep fine. Had oatmeal, bacon and eggs, frit- ters coffee, biscuit and cantaloupe for breakfast. I am feeling fine but sev- eral are sick.
 "The troops are having setting up exercises and I went in and did some of it. Having nothing to do the ex- ercises will do me good
 I've have sighted several whales and a freighter
 Tt is so foggy that we are making only half-speed. There are hundreds of little fishing boats around us.
 "Have just received word that we will put into Halifax tomorrow. Don't worry any more; the U-boats are scared into German ports
 1T hope the censor won't object to this letter as the parents of, the sol- diers might be given some comfort

Don't be bilious, constipated, sick,
 with breath bad and stomach sour.

Tonight sure! Take Cascarets and enjoy the incest, gentlest liver and bowel cleansing you ever experienced. Wake up with your head clear, stom- ach sweet, breath right and feeling fine. Get rid of sick headache, bilious ness, constipation, furred tongue, sour stomach, bad colds. Clear your skin, brighten your eyes. quicken your step and feel like doing a full days work. Cascarets are better than salts, pills or calomel because they don't shock the liver or gripe the bowels or cause inconvenience all the next day.
 Mothers should give cross, sick, bilious, feverish children, whole Cascaret anytime as they can not in- jure the thirty feet of tender bowels.

You may never get this anyway but I sure do hope so. don't think we will be allowed on shore if so I shall try and wire you There are soldiers on board.
