ship, go to roll call headquarters at Crowells new drug store in the Pro- fessional building, West Main ana Washington streets.
 Red Cross Home Service here IS daily called upon to consider problems concerning people who live outside this country. Men here who came from Europe and Asia and are now American citizens call for all sorts of assistance.
 It may be to bring relatives to this country. to secure welfare reports about them. to send money. to claim property. to adjust war allot- ment or to locate the old folks.
 A spirit of hopefulness has been created in the minds of these men of foreign birth as the result of the work of the Red Cross here. These men are whole-heartedly American citizens. and they are anxious to claim their full privileges as American citi- zens. Home Service here has obtained many citizenship papers for cx-serv- ice men. It has sent men to evening school: and one man even came to the local office to learn how he should cast his first vote.
 Until the ex-service man has been placed for Federal Vocational Train ing. some time must elapse. It is the part of Red Cross Home Service here to keep up his courage in the mean while. One of the happiest men in training is a soldier who lost his right arm. His persistence has been en- couraged and now he is a good pen man and is studying mechanical drawing at tho State Trade school.

WINDHAM COUNTY STORIES
BY

NIPMUNkS

gains thereby il is hard to tell. At
any rate we are told that on Fort
Hill mt Thompson there was very
considerable settlement of praying
Indians" in place of the fortified
town. which had stood there earlier,
said to have been surrounded by three
palisades made of pointed poles, and
three bitches, Notifications which
would make even the Iroquois pause
and consider.
There is, however, one fairly clear
cut tale of our predecessors which has
come down to us, which, although II
casts slur ON their cookery, shows
chat. when matched against the ma
tives of like ealiber. they could hold
their own when 1t came to fighting.
1t apparently happened in this wise,
Certain Nipmunks were making their
way southwark in canoes, bent on
trade or fishing, and somewhere in the
neighborhood OF Jewett City they fell
in with q party of Indians eneamped
on the river bank Very cautiously
and with all signs of friendship, they
approached, and We're received most
courteously by the campers, who
proved TO be Narragansetts. from the
mouth of the Thames, come north FOR
a little upstream fishing.
So the evening was spent in graei-

whom were some leading citizens,
were SO pleased with their aequaint-
anees, that they invited them down to
Norwich or New London, Offering as
an inducemeut feast of she'll fish.
The Nipmunk leader readily agree |,
aud the two parties set off together
down stream.
Just where the NaraganSett settle
ment was we do not know. There are
still Narragansetts in the City of
trail point Of their territory, 1t is
possible that this historic feast took
place somewhere along the four mile
course, over which Harvard and Yale
crews have rowed for many years. At
all events. the feast was a high sue
cess in every way. To the upriver Nip
hunks, the clans. oysters and mus
sells were new delicaey. as the Mar
ragansetts set great store by their
knowledge Of seafoods, and were par
ticular in the way they seasoned their
shcllfish Compliments We're made
on both sides; pipes were smoked; and
when the Nipmunk leader rose to
thank his new acquaintanees for their
he insisted that the Mar
ragansetts come north in the near flu
ture, and have a gorge on boiled lam

the greatest of all foods

MAN 81 HAD NEVER
RIDDEN ON CARS
Austin Stevens of North Ash
ford Believed In Staying at
Home
Started For Auto Ride But IL Wa,
Too Swift For Him

Austin Stevens, who died recently
in North Ashford at the age of s I
years, believed that the quiet village
was the center of the universe. 1t
was, to him, for he had never been
more than few miles away from the
PASTORAL scenes of that rural section,
and then he walked.
The bright lights of the big city,
nor even the hustle Of the nearby
towns and villages held any attraction
for Mr. Austin. He had never ridden
on a railroad train and had seldom
been near enough to a railroad to
even hear the foot of the, whistle or
the ringing of the locomotive bell.
The boy, youth, young man, man, and
venerable citizen of the one small vii
lage was quite content His life was
devoid of excitement, but he was quite
satisfied He gained his knowledge
of the outside world from the metro
politan newspapers and occasional
drummers at the corner grocery. He
lived to ripe old aye and was re-
spected and admired by all who knew
| him
Mr.. Austin was once prevailed up
on to get into an automobile. 1t was
intended to take him for long ride,
| but after the machine had proceeded
short distance Mr.. Austin begged to
| be allowed to get out He did not like
| being carried over the ground at such
| speed He preferred to walk or to
be taken along slowly behind little
old horse that he might have time to
view the beauties of nature, which he
| loved.
Even barber shop would have
been a surprise to Mr. Austin, who
| was loath to have others interfere
with his personal appearance and only
about once a year did he have his
hair cut and whiskers trimmed.
Mr.. Austin did not covet riches; he
did not envy those from the big
world, and their talk of things which
interested them did not make him I'M
easy or disconnected. Everyone in
the town was his friend, and they say
| that he was an honest, upright gen
telman, always speaking of him with
respect.
Years ago Mr.. Austin was a man.
ufacturer of boots and shoes. The
| lack" and seat where he used to
| work are still in his kitchen. The
seat was used by him in preference
to chair, up to his last brief illness.
HE was perfectly honest man and
no one could hire him to lie," said one
| Of his friends.

There are few of us nowadays who
think Of the Quinebaug except as a
source Of water power, or Mt best a
picturesque and pleasant stream. But
1t has other points of interest. which
In these busy times seldom cross our
minds. Consider the river as it was
about the middle of the sixteenth cen
fury, long before the first English
settlers came, hundred years before
John Winthrop of New London, the
first purchaser of land in Windham
had bought his tract from the repre-
sentative chiefs of the Quinebaugs
Allumps, Augustus. Massashowitt and
Massitiamo. IL was quite "A different
river which made its way down to the
Thames uninterrupted by dams and
mills, twining through virgin forests
There ia little we know of this period,
and that little must be padded by a
lively imagination to mean anything
at all. All definite facts seem TO have
disappeared Even the place where
the old Mohawk trail crossed the riv-
er is disputed point, thought It was
probably two or three miles below
Putnam. At all events this spot
marked the intersection between two
aboriginal trade routes. Many 81 war
party Of Senecas and Onondagas pass
ed this way, and we may be sure that
at such times the natives of Windham
kept well in the background These
folk belonged TO the great Algonquin
stock. and were divided into various
tribes, chief among which were the
Nipmunks or Nipuets, ms they were
sometimes called, who lived ON the
east bank of the river. South of them
were the Quinebaugs and ON the west
lay the country of the Wabbaquassets
which comprised the townships of
pomfret and Woodstock Their habits
were much the same as those of other
Eastern Indians, and their history is
conspicuous by It's absence. They
lived in fairly permanent villages,
wove reed mats and baskets, planted
their corn and squash. speared fish in
the Moosup and Mashamoquet, and
ate their meat very high. As warriors
they leave slight reputation behind
them, and they do not appear to have
been overstrong mentally, as their
chief 0waneeo, son Of Uneas, made
over all right and title to all his
stands and meadows" to his slowing
friend James Fitch" to dispose Of as
he saw fit His reason for so doing
was that people would take advantage
Of him when In drink. at which seasons
he could not rely upon his faculties
for closing an advantageous deal. The
deed is still TO be seen, signed by the
old reprobate himself, his mark being
. peculiar animal. probably bird Of
some sort
The Indians took very readily TO
and became good Prot
'stants at an early period; whether
'ecause they were drawn by the faith
= because they got certain material
