On Friday morning the community was profoundly shocked at the seem ingIy incredible tidings of the sudden
 death at day break of Mrs. Clarence EIdredge On Thursday she attended
 the fair at Stafford Springs with her husband and little son, enjoyed the day and retired seemingly as well as usual. Heart failure was the report of Dr. Converse, who was sHmmonsed immediately. Although never in rug ged health she had a genius for home making. Artistic, ingenius, with IadyIike pleasing personality, she went on quietly and faithfully devoted to her little son and her home. While her health permitted she was active in | the social life of the Congregational church and was ever good neighbor and friend She leaves besides her husband and five years old son, Claud, her parents, MT. and Mrs. Allen, of | Hanover, a sister, Mrs. Everett Moul- ton, of Canterbury, Carrie. sister, at home and Miss Elsie Freeman, niece, l daughter of her deceased sister, who is now pupil at the Norwich Free l academy. Mr. and Mrs. Edward c. Eldredge, parents of Clarence B. will tmourn her as daughter and her loss
 will be deplored by MT. and Mrs. Clln-
 ton Eldredge; and children, and by a large circle of family friends. The
 funeral was largely attended on Mon
 day at one o'clock at the home of Ed
 ward c. Eldredge. The interment was in the Center cemetery. Rev. MT.
 Allen pastor of the Federated church,
 being unavoidably absent the Rev. MT. Dawson of Storrs was the officiating
 clergyman Mrs. Eldredge was few CT lover and the many floral offerings
 were particularly appropriate. Great
 est sympathy is felt for MT. Eldredge
 and little Claud by the entire commu- nity.

FaI|On Loses Dog
But Not His Angora

SOUTH AMBoY. Oct. 6:-Patrick
i. Fallon. of this city, one of the
three Democratic candidates for
freeholder, is the possessor of what
he believes will be a lucky mascot
at the coming election-namely. a
camouflaged hound dog. This ami

green, its tail in particular. which
has alternating stripes If red and
green. being of the variety seldom
seen in this section. The how and
wherefore of "Paddy's'' freak dog
make up a long story, but this is the
way it is generally told.
Celebrating his nomination he
purchased a fine hound last week
and early Monday morning set out
with his new acquisition to get him
accustomed to the woods. After an
hours tramp through the woods the
dog disappeared and no trace of him
could be found by its new owner.
The woods were hunted for the miss

Paddy" had given up all hopes
of ever seeing the dog again when
10 and behold something crawled
through a hole in the backyard fence
and there was his long lost hound.
But what a differences! Instead of
the glossy coated. proud hound of a
few days ago there stood before the
local politician a poor. forlorn, dis
susted dog in whose fur had been
splashed red and green paint. Fall
lon is at a loss to know whether the
futurist artist who did the painting
did it knowing that the dog belong
cd to him or whether the painting
was done by meon who Just
wanted to take out his spite on
somebody and picked the dog.
At any rate Paddy is a believer
in good and bad omens and figures
that he will whitewash his oppo-
nents in November in a manner
similar to that in which the paint
was applied to his dog.
