Shoes, Clothes, Shoes!"
 Their Appeal as They
 Faced Hardships With out Complaining of Fate.

An insight into the sufferings en- dured by New Britain men during the Civil War, is gained by read ing of a letter sent in 1865 by the late w. H. Relyea, at one time street commissioner for this city, ter. Mrs C. k. Atwood of p Sher- man court.
 The communication was mailed from some point within the zone of actual fighting and does not carry the name of the town from which it was addressed. In part, it reads:
 "'Shoes, clothes. shoes The air is resonant with the echo.
 The country here has resumed her winter garb. variegatcd fall has given place to winter and the earth pure white.

NORMAL SCHOOL JUNIORS DOPF NFERI0RITY TAB
Remove Ribhons From Heads Idcntifying Their Caste as Apart From Exalted Seniors

4NSSANSbS sSl8 As4~~A ~~StN Oo From Exalted Seniors
 Members of the junior class at the State Normal school today ended the first of the series of trials which are to face all future junior classes Today is the last day the juniors will have to wear the red ribbon about their heads as q mark Of identification.
 The regulations went into effect last week when the junior class pre- sented list of privileges to the senior class. Among them were permission for exclusive use of the front entrance sidewalk and the seats in trolleys. buses. library and cafeteria. A junior must never ad- dress a senior by her first name no matter how we'll acquainted both girls may be.
 The punishment for the junior disobeying these rules is also pro- vided in the new regulations-the junior must wear a black ribbon in-
 stead of the red one.
 Senior classes at the school have
 been anxious to obtain these privi- leges for many years. but no junior class would grant them. Realizing
 that they had only three more weeks to suffer as a first year class,
 the juniors voted to allow the privi-
 leges this year.

 Yet l stood and my thoughts went far away to the ones l had left at home. How soon l too may lay in such a bed as this? Who knows but ere another week I shall be numbered with the dead? If such should be my fate, my last bewailing cry shall echo and reecho again from earth to heaven in laundering tones: Shoes. clothes, shoes And thus adopt William II. Seward s higher law doctrine.
 Last night I lay down to sleep, thinking of shoes, as my feet were wet, and it did not seem as I lay, an hour had passed when I awoke with a start as q ponderous pal, of shoes fell across my head. l awoke 10 find my gun laying across my chest. and that l was but dream ing But. never mind, I will get them some day.
