silently around the breakfast table.
The youngster, grim and silent, rose,
left the house and marched away
TO join the Rebel Army. The older
boy and the father went in another
direction, 10 join the Union Army.
The mother and daughters were
left weeping and fainting.
Fifty-eight years ago Edward
Rufllan, a gray-haired man, fired
the first shot of the Civil War.
Another Kentuckian was in Tn CON-
mand of Fort Sumpter when that
fatal shot was fired.
Vast Armies, Rebel and Union,
serged back and forth across the
StateA-ilrst one and then the other
victorious. Many indecisive battles
were fought-one being fought be-
tween here and Richmond. Women
from this community went out TO
that battlefield after nightfall,
with board torches, turning over the
faces of dead soldiers, trying to
identify a husband, son or father.
II is well-known that in many
bloody battles brothers fought
against brothers, and neighbors
against neighbors. There were
tragedies untold, from Sumpter to
Appomattox. Yes, and tragedies
forty years after, in the famous
Kentucky feuds of the Kentucky
mountains.
Following the history outline, two
Rebel soldiers, six Unien soldiers,
and six former slaves responded to
the invitation, TO take seats on the
platform as the guests of honor and
as the real representatives of those
who took part in the great conflict.
Their appearance together on the
same platform formed a picture
which will be remembered and de-
scribed with pride, i'm years to come,
by those who were fortunate enough
to be present.
What was the cause of the war!
is asked. Tariff? Yes. State rights?
Yes. Secession? Yes. But a LOOK
at the former slaves upon the plat
form suggested an answer good
enough for all.
"reminiscences were given by sew
eral who had actually been bought
and sold many times. Some had
been treated well by their former
masters, and others with the great
est cruelty. Interesting incidents Of
the war were also related by veter-
ans representing each side in the
war. Some old campfire songs
were sung by Comrade Gabbard, to
the evident enjoyment OF all. Tho
friendliesl spirit was manifest thru
out.
General l.. V. Dodge was called
upon for a short talk, and, though
the exercise had gone overtime, the
speaker was at his best, and held
his audience spell-bound. He spoke
in unstinted praise of the exercise,
and reused his hearers to a high
pitch of patriotism and good will.
Several songs were sung by the
school during the afternoon.
A duet of more than usual in
terest was sung by a Union soldier
and a cOlOred woman, which called
forth hearty applause.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 HAIR TO DARKEN IT
Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark, Glossy, and Youthful With Sage
 Tea and Sulphur

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when youth full appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage.
 Nowadays, though we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called 'Wyeth' s Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is very popular because nobody can dis cover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair dis appears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few appli- cations, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive

 Report of Transportation.

First Selectman Willard I. filling having refused the request of the school committee to call a special town meeting to act on the appropria- ton of money to finish paying school expenses for the year, 8 petitioa has been presented to the selectmen, sign cd by 20 legal voters asking for such a meeting.
 It is only a short time before the opening of the schools and the town meeting must be called before school opens. Selectman filling having re- fused the request of the school com mittee has delayed action for time, The principal object of the meeting is to obtain grant of money sufficient to take care of the expenses left over during the current year. Due to the increased numbers in the school last year and the larger increase this year, several rooms have been added in the different Berlin schools. These rooms have been renovated and painted, new floors laid and several other changes made necessary to put the rooms In shape for the coming school terms. All this work has entailod expense which must be met at once and it was for this reason that tke committee requested a special town m eeting. This having been refused them. a petition was imm ediately circulated about the town which has been signed by 20 legal voters and has row been pre- scented to Selectman Alling.
 The schools in the town are under going a rapid growth and the numbers entering this year will be far in ad- vance of the pupils entering in pre- Vious Years. The increased nun bers mean added expense both in an en- larged teaching force and in addition al equipment necessary to care for the advance. If is not the intention Qf the school board to see the town Tagging in educational matters and they intend to get the appropriation necessary to maintain the schools af a high standard.

ROME WALTERS GET TIPS,
BUT NOT In USUAL WAY


ROME, June 2S.-Rome walters re-
fuse to accept tips from patrons.
Tips are vigorously suppressed and
nothing can induce the walters to vio-
late the practice. The insistencc on
keeping to the regulations, however,
is not motivated by any altruistic ten
denotes, for one Of the Rome walters
fourteen points" il that 20 per cent
must be added to the total of the bill
for service.
An American, one of the latest ar
rivals in Rome, who is attached To
the American embassy here, was pay
ing his bill recently when, on leaving
e tip of thirty cents for the waiter.
he was astonished to find the waiter
handing the money back to him. The
American Immediately concluded
that the tip was not considercc suffi-
cent and that it was therefore
seorned. He was reaching into his
pocket to reinforce his gratuity
when someone speaking English told
him of the Rome rule.
Herewith he pocketed the tip and
walked out.
Large posters have been placed in
the restaurants and tea rooms here
announcing the action Of the walters.
On the whole, the practice scers to
have satisfied the patrons, who feel
that they have, mt least, been spared
the annoyance Of the inevitably dis
gruntled waiter.
