WANTED TO SEE THAT PIG
Animal" Had a Strange Fascination
for the Thirsty Fasteners of
a Century Ago.

The present prohibition law Is much
more stringent than was the dry law
Of Massachusetts, Of 100 years ago
when the Striped Pig" gained its
fame. At that time the law read that
liquor could not be secured, save in
15-gallon lots. That gave the pig
its chance.
An enterprising resident attended
the military muster on the Readvllle
fair grounds, and established a side
show. A banner before the tent
Haunted the likeness of a red and black
pig, which, sign said. could be seen
for four pence. Many men went in
to see the strange animal, and returned
many times. AS the law did not pro-
hibit the exhibitor from giving away
liquor he gave each patron generous
glass Of the forbidden drink from q
large stock he had laid in. The striped
Pig" became famous over night. Songs
were written about the animal, bev-
erage was named after it. and bur
lesque play in New York adopted the
absurd title.

ordinary room. 1t had carpet and
some chairs, chairs such as a cow

upsetting.
There were some books around,

hay either

AVON MISSION CHURCH BUILT
 BY PRIEST FROM PUTNAM

At Avon Sunday morning the new Catholic church was dedicated. From far and near people came to the open ing of the new St. Ann's church. There is an interesting story in connection with the name. It was built on land given by MT. and Mrs. William G. Manion and th's land is part of the wedding gift made by Ann Manion Sheridan to her son, William. So Ter name is nerpetuated, and honored in the new church.
 The task Of erecting a. Catholic church in Avon seemed at first almost loo great to be undertaken and the fact that it has been pushed to com nletion evidences the generosity of the people, Catholics and Protestants contributing alike, generously. It cost about, S7,000 and of this sum there re- mains slightly over $3,000 to be raised.
 Avon, an outmission from Collins vile, is attended by Rev. William P. Kennedy, who was appointed to the latter place about seven years ago. Father Kennedy was born in Putnam 48 years ago the son of Thomas and Margaret Kennedy. Having been graduated at St. Marys parochial school at Putnam. he attended St. Charles college near Baltimore, grad = uating with the class of 1899. After five years at St. Mary's seminary. Bal timore, FatFer Kennedy was ordained to the priesthood Dec. lJ8. 1887 by His Em'nence Cardinal Gibbons, archbish CD of Baltimore Before being assign ed to Col!insville, Father Kennedy act ed as assistant pastor at St. Thomas church, Waterbury, and at the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, PlainYille.

A Fine old English Dwelling.

Stokesay castle. which dates back to 1291. is probably one of the finest of all England's old dwellings. AL though called a castle, this ancient dwelling is really a fortified manor and all of it's ancient characteristics have been maintained through the last 800 years.
 The great hall. which is over 50 feet long and 30 feet wide, is easily the most striking feature of the old manor house. The windows of the castle are all large. and the hall was thus made a. much more pleasant place to live in than the majority of houses built in England at that time.
 During the thirteenth century the builders first began to make English dwelling houses pleasant to live in. instead of mere places of shelter or defense Windows of the kings houses were ordered to be elazed. out side doors to have projecting porches 1 freplaces to be bui1t and nurn erous other household additions made. In | some n1aces. the wirdnws were filled l with painted glass and the walls deco | rated with rare paintings.
