HI" HENRY DIED IN NEW YORK
 LAST FRIDAY

Colonel Hiram F., (HD Henry, vet eran minstrel show manager, died at his home in New York last Friday at the age of 76 years. He was Civil war veteran and is survived by his wife.
 Hi" Henry was a familiar figure in Putnam covering period of years when he and his troupe of black face entertainers made annual visits to this town, touring the country in their private car
 Every man Tn Putnam who remem- bers back thirty years or more ayo will remember how his heart beat fast CT and his eyes bulged out when the gaudy posters appeared heralding the coming of "Hi' Henry and his min strel company The street parade was followed from one end of the city to the other, and every Willie, John nie and Charlie got scowl, scold- ing, or something worse, for being late at the midday meal
 Then in the evening-Every boy that could get there by hook or by crook was back on Union Sqquare to hear the band, led by the great "Hi" play the evening concert and then il- to old Union hall for the big show Some times "Hi" himself, dressed in a plum-colored velvet coat and shiny silk hat, would be at the door taking tickets in person, and the boy that could even touch that coat was a hero for weeks
 MT. Henry was noted cornetist Hsi gold cornet was one Of he won ders of bcy The shiny instru- ment was much more of marvel than the bell-like notes that came from it.
 "I'll bet II cost thousand dollars" said one school boy worshipper the next day.
 Huh. Pll bet it cost a millino," said another.

REAL COUNTRY SAUSAGE
Donation Which Savers of the Olden
 Times

Tn the good old days there were ire quently to be seen piled on the ed itor's desk and about the editors sanctum many products of the farm eggs, chickens, potatoes, butter, and an occasional turkey at turkey time. This meant that subscriptions were being paid and paid in advance. No longer do these fresh agricultural products come in in exchange for sub scriptions. With advanced prices for farm produce and the same old price for the weekly news sheet, 1t is evil dent that the annual dollar and half Is. of less value in cash money than in turkeys, chickens, ct cetera.
 However, some of the citizens of the old school also formed the habit of placing on the editors desk do- nation. How the custom originated we do not know, but possibly it leak ed cut that the editor of country weekly was not living on the fat of the land but deserved to, at least at times, and SC, from the well store3 larder If the farm such little presents would occasionally be bestcwei.
 All cf which is to say that over in the village of Eastford Is an ex-news- paper Ed. who has been in a position to know how things 20 from day te day back of the scenes in the eiit9rial department and how little thought fulness often brithteHs the hour an5 relieves the care and worry of tryilg to satisfy and please a critical public
 Good old country made sausage in three lots, one for the management, ore for the Ed. and another for the linotype operator, done in neat little packages, was the surprise that was appreciated the first of the week. The contribution was found among the items of news from our Eastford cor respondent, but does not appear in his column. We will say that the gen tleman is a good Moose" and if this is the sample of the stock he passes over the counter of his store, this pa per will stand behind any advertise ment he inserts of quality goods" It is not known who raised the porker that furnished the ingredients. nor who ground the meat nor who season cd it so delectably, but we can say with truth and veraeity, with the mem ory of substantial meal still in mind, that the sausage was delicious and was appreciated with thanks for the donor and his kind thoughtfulness.

Care of the Complexion.

It IS easier to ruin a good complex ion than it is to remedy defects and improve complexion that is not good. Often enc aoplication of an injurious cosmetic or the misuse of ones face in attempting to conform to vague and misleading directions given by some unqualified person will produce disfgurement that years will not re- move.
 One girl wrote me that she had q number of blaekheads in her fore head. Before I could reply to her letter someone advised her to pinch and prick them out and to use small key to press down the surface skin around them. She followed diree- ticns, first steaming her face The blaekheads disappeared. but her fore head remained diseolored in spots re sembline moth patches. These be came so pronounced that she coasuit- ed Il physician Various reme lies were tried without avail The brown spots became permanent As time passed. they seemed rather to enlarge than decrease Their effect was much more unsightly than the backheads.

We had loaned to us the last week copy of The Patriot of June 2S, 1895
 The interesting thing about this edition is that it was edited by the wo- men of Putnam. One column of par ticular interest is headed Putnam Needs As Seen By Women" Aman- la Bennor says Putnam needs more loyal citizens who will patronize their own stores spending their money here thus promoting the business interests of the town.
 Jean Bartlett wrote for better side walks as we could not ride on the electric cars or elevated roads. Alma Chesbro thought Woman's Club a society for intellectual advancement. Mrs. A. M. Parker thought Putnam needed most of all city charter.
 Mrs. Gilman Brown says, If the selectmen of Putnam were obliged to do the dusting for the housewives of Grove street they would soon see the need of some other kind of soil than that now in use on the street-for it is just terrible"
 Mrs. Sargent wrote about the Fifth District school and the need of a new building Mrs. c. W. Gilpatnc and Mrs. Charles LeRoy thought the greatest need was good sewerage.

ARMY EFFICIENCY IN
SPIRITUAL. AFFAIRS

The question of whether the army
reorganization bill as finally passed
by congress, shall recognize In full
measure the need for efficiency and
coordination in the spiritual affairs
of the army, through the establish
ment OF a Chaplais' corps, remains to
be seen. Indications are that ii will.
This view is based on the fact that
the house, through Chairman Kahn
yielded to the sentiment of the coun-
try in giving rank to Chaplaps. but
limiting this to a lieutena Mt cofoneIcy
1t failed to provide chaplairS
corps.
The situation win respect to the
pending army reorganization meas
ures as they comply with the ap-
parent demands of the country, rep
resented through the committee on
army and navy chaplains, Woodward
building. Washington, is as follows.
The house bill as passed provides
a chaplain for every twelve hundred
enlisted mon, and it also provides
rank for chaplains up to lieutenant
colonel The committee on army and
navy chapiains is insistent upon these
two provisions. with the possibility
in rank from first lieutenant up to
colonelcy for chapiains, and also
corps for chapiains
The senate committee on military,
affairs has provided in its bill favor

features. Reports from over the

pie.
