COGGSWELL AT
 BAR BANQUET

Leonard W. Coggswell, stenographer for the superior court of this county but formerly for the courts of Litch- field, attended the annual banquet of the bar association of that county last Friday evening. For a period of about 25 years he was a member of the committee which arranged the banquets, and was a guest at the one Friday evening.
 MT. Coggswen was considerably surprised when the toastmaster of the evening called upon him to arise, and then in behalf of the members of the bar association presented him with a handsome gold watch, inscribed "Pre- sented to Leonard w. Coggswell by the Litchfield County Bar Associa- tion."
 The watch is a handsome one with MT. CoggswelI's monogram engraved upon the outer case.
 MT. Coggswell has been steno- grapher for the Fairfield county court since the opening of the fall terms, succeeding George s. Hawley, who resigned to become general man. ager for the Manufacturers associa- tion.

Vastness of Mexico,

It cannot be reiterated too often that Mexico is a vast country.
 Mexico extends in length over two thousand miles, or is as long as from Iceland to Africa. It measures thou sand miles across the widest area. It is vast, it contains every climate from tropical to northern; it has huge noun tains, some of the greatest volcanoes in the world; and some of the largest rivers are to be found in the south, although water is lacking in the north. The north Is fiat and hideous, the south beautiful and mountainous. Mexico produces every class of ore and every form of agriculture and some of the most picturesque and beautiful old Spanish towns in the world remain from the days when they were built by Cortez in 1519.
 One cannot help being struck with the contrast between the two coasts. On the Pacific shore everything is dry i; on the Gulf (Atlantic) everything is wet. A depth of eight or ten feet of soil is common.-From Mexico" by Mrs. Alec-Tweedie.

By MARK ANDREWS

supplied to him Fr. Mitchell named his new mount Service, but the stable sergeant, who knew the animal better called him Nitro.
 The very first day out Service decided to find out who was boss, and tmnnedi- ately proceeded to run away. He headed Ntraight down the road, and with wide strides was rapidly approaching No Mans Land" when sentry. taking his life in his hands, and making flying leap, grasped the bridle and stopped the fractious animal.
 Don't you know that you can't go down this road? Don't you know that it leads smack up to the German posi- tions?" the sentry demanded.
 Sure, I know it." replied F'r. Mitchell. But the horse-he doesn't"
 The other side of FT. Michel is shown, however. in the story of an incl dent which took place in the front line trenches in the same Picardy fields.
 The Americans had just withstood q vicious and determined attack by the Germans, whom they had forced to re- tire, when Fr MitcheI-who had been going among the men with words O.. cheer and lending q helping hand here and there with tho wounded-learned that some wounded doughboys were lying in NO Mans Land" just over the top of the trench ridge. and he inrnedi- ately announced his intention of going out to the spot.
 But the Germans are shelling that spot this very minute." objected an off, cer. Its almost certain death, father, fur you to go there"
 ''But some of my boys may be dying out there this very minute,'' replied Fr. Mitchell. and without further words he went out.
 While the officer watched, Fr Mitchel administered to the mortally wounded, and said the burial service over the dead. Shells were bursting all around him, yet he calmly went on with bis 6uties, and an hour iater returned with out 0 scratch
 { Something of the strain under which these heroic chapiains work on the fields | of battle can be gllmpsed from 8 para ; graph that appears in the reports of 1 the fighting before St. Quentin. i In one days fighting, according to the report, Fr. Frank Kelly of Albany, N. l Y. went over the top with the men ! three times and administered to the
 badly wounded. When the end of that
 day came his hair had turned white.

India Facinu Hard Task.

More than 337 years would be re- quired to bring under instruction all the girls of school age in the Bonn bay presidency, at the present rate of progress, according to report just issued in the Indian city. The percent age of schoolgirls to the total feminine population was 1.5 year ago. and Bombay is one of the leading presiden- cies of India with regard to women's education.
