The Words Madge and Dicky
 Overheard


 Every word of Milly Stock bridg ge's hsartless gibe at her husbands lame *ness came distinctly to us. Forum #ately the orchestra was making so 3n1uch noise that I don't think the Bother guests of the cafe understood 4what she said even if they heard her. I But she was facing our table as she Spoke and we could not help being Unwilling auditors of her vulgar 3cruelty.
 To all appearances her husband 1had not heard her. Not facial &nuscle changed and as for his pallor l lt could not have been more pro &nounced than it had been when he tentered the cafe. But there came Simultaneous low protest from his Iwife's relatives to which she at once &nsade a vixenish reply.
 stOh you all make me tired!" she snapped It's 'Milly how can you?' and 'Milly why don't you?' to say d1othing of your favorite refrain- Ailly, you ought to be ashamed of yourself!' I tell you I'm sick of the whole business and all of you. Some day I'm going to beat it to the other world by the quickest route, and | don't want any of you sniveing around me. either.
 s'I don't care what I find on the other side, It cant be worse than what I endure here every day. Just look at every one of you now, for Instance You know how faint l always am after a long ride, yet not one of you has asked me yet anything about my order. I might starve to death for all any of you care Held in Subjection. The orchestra ceased suddenly, and the last words sounded clearly through the room Every head was turned toward the Stockbridge table, but to my surprise Milly Stockbridge was clever enough to force laugh
 p11d say in a milder though still petulant tone:
 "I tell you if you don't hurry up and order I shall starve to death. Her elder sister, a dark. slender woman with a tired. sensitive face took LID the menu card, glanced over It hurriedly.
 't,The lobster is said to be very nice here, Milly," she ventured timidly. "No doubt" her sister returned raptiously Things are always said
 10 be nice about these new places.
 Just wait a few weeks till they get
 their patrons well hooked Then
 youll see how they'll sting you.'
 Would you rather have something
 else, Miller" her mother asked ner-
 vously. It was plainly to be seen that the whole family were held in
 subjection by the neurotic woman

SUNDAY AFTERNOON
 CONCERT AT LYCEUM

Everything is ready for the big concert which will be given for the benefit of Armenian war orphans at the IyCeum theater next Sunday aft ernoon. Elaborate arrangements have been made to make this one of the best concerts New Britain has ever had.
 The complete musical program is as follows;

 A. Chah- MOuTadian. There is an impression prevailing that this is going to be a purely Ar menian concert. The committee wishes to state that there will be very little Armenian in it, as it can readily be seen from the program. MT. Chah- Mouradian and Mme. Panosian being Armenians themselves do not sing only Armenian any more than John Mccormack sings Irish or Galli- Curci sings Italian.
 Amer4cans in general, and New Britain people in particular, have consributed generously to the support of this war sticken people, but there is needs for more, and this concert is given with the view of paying back in some way the generosity of our friends. as formerly they have given freely without getting anything for it except silent but heartfelt thanks.

Mr.. Vigue's health for the past
seven years has not been good. lie
has suffered very much from asthma
during this time. To his great
amazement and joy, this entirely left
him the second day OF his journey
East and has not returned. This is
accounted for by the change in the
atmosphere from the seacoast to me
dry and high inland country. Mr.
Vigue stated that the same RELIEF was
also experienced by an asthma pa
tient who journeyed from the East
to the West. FL Pao was the point or
her deliverance from this trouble. Mr.
Vigue has been in the auto supplies
business for some time and may con-
tinue it in the future. He sold out
his business in Los Angeles before

AGRICULTURAL
NOTES


Judging from the amount Of live
stock shipped from the Skowhegan
station, Somerset County farmers are
awaking to the possibilities in raising
beef. The outgoing freight OF Mon
day morning carried one car OF hogs,
TWO cars of cattle and a car OF calves.
II is claimed by experts that farmers
are making mistake in selling Their
veals. both from a financial stand
point and for the best interests OF
the farm. 1t is desirable that Som
erset County farmers look into this
matter carefully.

FISHERMEN WIN
INSIRKE HERE

The strike of the fishermen at PEN
sacola formally came to an end yes
terday when the Saunders Fish Co.
and The Warren Fish Co., signed the
agreement with the fishermen calling
for rate of cents for snapper and
L. cents for groupers This is the
demand for which they have been hold
ing out.
The strike Of the fishermen which
began in late August virtually tied up
the fishing business at this port. Only
one large operator has been shipping
fish to any extent; The Catanzanos
Co. This company made separate
agreement with the fishermen soon af-
ter the strike was declared and have
been operating their fishing vessels
ever since. The smacks of the Warren
and Saunders companies have been
tied up at their respective harbors for
several months and during the time
have undergone extensive repairs
Several of the vessels We're taken to
fresh water soon after the fishermen
went on strike in order to protect them
and according to statements made yes
terday will remain there until spring.
| Activity in the two big fish houses
began again yesterday and it was
stated that work will begin at once
| toward rigging the smacks which have
| been dismantled and in icing and pro-
visioning them for early trips OF the
snapper banks.
