Where Smiths Came From.

Why is it there are so many Smiths
and Joneses? In the old days when
Ine NUMBER OF horses was very high in
proportion to the population, and when
iron was worked by hand in every part
OF the country, smiths formed one of
the largest classes of tradesmen. They
we're prosperous, too. and had large and
healthy families. Then the Smiths
nave received at various times consider
able additions from abroad. Some for
slgners whose names were the eouiva-
lent or Smith in their own Language
translated it INTO the English form,
whist others adopted the name because
IL was short and simple.
Inc Joneses owe their number to the
popularity Of John as Christian name
IN Wales, for Jones Is simply another
form OF Johns OF johnson. Probably
more people lave surnames derived
from the Christian name John than
from any other source, for besides Jones
ana johnson we have John, Jack, Jacks
jackson and several others - well

 On Friday and Saturday nights Bristol will take on East Hartford High, the doormat of the Central League in East Hartford, and on the following night will entertain Terry vile, a "D2" team in classification, which specialzes in playing the sea- sons openers with Bristol. Neither one of these teams is expected to furnish much opposition against the locquos, but Bristol must guard closely against any letdown in play following their critical game as any one of the three, notably Weaver, is liable to spring an upset and remove Bristol from the ranks of the vic- torious and spoil their chances of another crash at the state cham pionship.

 After Long Illness
Had Resided Here 36 Years-enry Jeanfavre to Have
 Important Part in That's That

1 and Abel of Torrington and stephen of Thomaston; and one sister, Mrs
 Mary Henderson of Torrington. | He was a native of France.
 | The funeral was held this morn
 ing at 8:15 o'clock from his
 home and at 9 o'clock at St Francis church. Burial was in the new St
 Francis cemetery.
 Important Role by Henry Jeanfavre
 Henry Jeanfavre, who by many
 excellent performances in the past | has esta blished a reputation as an
 interpreter of comedy roles, will have a chance to extend himself to
 the limit ir the role of Eddie Dewey,
 in That's That" to be given We'd
 nesday. February T. at the Alham-
 bra theater here The character is
 that of an ambitious boy from the
 sticks" who, under the illusion | that he is a Killer in the business
 and with the ladies, dolls" himself
 up and goes to Palm Beach. He has
 two purposes for doing this. first. to l take a hand in some real estate
 deals, second, to find his sweetheart who had preceded him there. The
 seriousness with which MT Jeanfavre
 plays the role makes it ridiculously funny and is receiving the most en- I thusiastic response in the rehearsal
 hall. The sweetheart for whom he | is looking, proves to be Letltla | Brownell, a social climber. This role is played by Olga Malus. It takes considerable skill to interpret the part of an ambitious social climber and still win the sympathy of your audience. Tn addition to this, the part requires three mum bers: Just a Little Bit More" "The Social Whirl' and "Where the Old Mill Wheel Turns Round".
 Surprise Party Held
 A surprise party was given in honor of MT and Mrs A. T. Bicke! at their home, 605 Prospect street. Thursday evening. in honor of the 25th anniversary of their marriage.
