Bet you a hat, young man." the
Senator went on, THAT I didn't get as
much as a half column from you"
Covered" replied the reporter.
He began his quest for clippings
He found that the papers had used the
story of Senator HIS" speech to a
greater extent than even he had
thought. He gathered a whole pile OF
'em together and sent them to the
Senator.
You win" said the Senator. "You
get the hat"
Several days passed and the news
paper man heard nothing about the
hat Then one morning he found on
ington haberdashery for the bet.
After looking over the entire stock
at the haberdashery, he could find no
hat that suited him that cost more
than SIS.
"ThatH never do" he told the clerk
Don't you realize this hat is to be
paid for by a United States Senator?
Man, show me a real hat"
Such hat was not to be found in
the store. The clerk suggested that he
could order one which would meet the
required specifications. He was told
to do so.
So-the Senator may not know it
at the moment, but he is going to get
bill pretty soon for $10-and it will
carry the notation: For bet on war

The typical three-arched Chinese
bridge, 10 inches long, with banks and
tree (height five and three-quarter
inches), and the boat four and one
half inches long, with four and one
half inch sail come in full size on the
pattern sheet, which also has a picto-
rial arrangement of the motifs, togeth-
er with full directions for making the
applique This complete pattern sheet
is 10 cents, which must be accompanied
by a self-addressed and stamped en-
velope. Direct requests to Lydia LIE

This bridge and boat Canton pat
tern lends itself admirably to use on
towels, since applique is a favorite and
dainty decoration for these household
necessities. A smart ensemble is the
family and finger towel set. On the
regulation size towels the full bridge
and boat motif is appliqued. while on
the little finger towels the boat. alone
is appliqued. Two bridge and boat mo-
tifs, arranged to leave space for
initiating the towel between, is excel
lent. If guest towel is added to the
set, one complete bridge and boat de-
sign is used. Applique the boat on
face cloth to go with any ensemble ar
rangement. Other uses for this bridge
and boat pattern will be given at some
future time The pattern is delightful
ly adaptable, making it decidedly use
full one.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-10-28

You may not know 1t, but the eastern part of Long Island was once part of Connecticut; Stamford was once owned by New Haven, though it was colonized by people from Wethersfield; Connecticut and New Haven for many years were separate political bodies which be- came embroiled in numerous argu- ments over territory and boundar- ies; Stratford and Fairfield were the parents of Bridgeport; Hart ford fostered the founding of Nor walk and Waterbury; Meriden be- gan as "half way house" between Hartford and New Haven; Say brook colonized Norwich.
 These and dozens of other amaZ- ing, amusing, little known facts concerning the early history of the State of Connecticut are found in "The Settlement of the Connecticut Towns, published for Connectic- cuts 1895 Tercentenary Commis- sion by the Yale University Press. This pamphlet, although 1t covers the history of the founding of prac tically all towns in the state with the exception of those in Litchfield County, whose story will be told separately, is as condensed as it is interesting. It runs just seventy five pages, each one crammed with significant, absorbing facts.
 "The settlement of the Connecti- cut Towns" is the first of @ series of pamphlets which will be issued by the Tercentenary Commission's $ Committee on Historical Publica- tions as the literary phase of the mammoth celebration which will be staged in October 1885 to honor the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of Connecticut. The pamphlet contains facsimile ot the oldest map of Connecticut ever discovered. Only two copies of this map are existence.
 As told in this expressing com pilation, there were three principal reasons for the Puritan coloniza- ton of the one-time wilderness which is now Connecticut. Desire for trade with the Indians was the first motive. The second was desire for more acreage of fer. tile land. And the third was desire

for more liberal political condi- tions than prevailed in Massachu- setts. T-
 The first three settlements in the colony were en the west side of the Connecticut river-Windsor Hartford and Wethersf1eld. The Dutch had learned of the possibil- ities of trade in that sector from their own explorations while the people of Plymouth and Massachu- sets Bay were invited to establish trading posts on the river by Iri- dian delegations. The Dutch com pleted a fortified building at Dutch Point (HartfOrd) in 1883 and had William Holmes of Plymouth sail- ed past them to establish a post at the mouth of the Tunxis (Farm- ington) River. Tn the following year, despite refusal of permission, a few inhabitants of Watertown under John oldham. who had made an earlier exploration, made their way to Connecticut and stop ped for the winter at Pyquag (Wetherfield).
 The two trading posts and the Pyquag settlement were not Of a permanent nature and 1t was not until 1895 after Oldham had re- | turned for more Watertown peo- pie, this time with permission; the removal of some Dorchester colOn- ists to @ site near the Plymouth | trading post; and the migration of a group of young men from New town to Hartford that the settle ment of Connecticut began to be something more than an experi- /, ment.
 In 16ss came the "great migra- tion." Reverend Thomas Hooker with his wife and the larger part ! of his congregation, driving their 1 cattle before them, left Newtown and, following Indian trails. final- ly reached resting place at Hart ford.
 During the year 1636-37," the three settlements were governed by a commission with John Winthrop. Jr, as-its governor. This commis- sion was established by the paten- tees, who had received the land as a kings grant, to exist until the settlers could establish their own | government. After the commission expired, the plantations were given their present-day names, Hartford, Wethersfield and Windsor, bound. aries were decided upon and the towns were instructedsto send com mittees of three to represent them | in a general court, whose duties al first consisted chiefly of prosecut. ing the Pequot war.

CARD CONTEST
 AT PARISH HALL
Third Game in Series Will Be Played T0-nl0r-
 row Night

The third game in the "46" tournament of St Francis Xavier Holy Name society will be played Monday night in the parish hall. The line Up of the teams will be as follows: Francis Shanahan vs Frank Mulcunry; Pete Coughian vs John Fitzmaurice; James Cusick vs Tom Horan; James Farrell vs William Kelly; John Bowey vs Mi- chael Craney: Joseph Phelan vs William O'Donne1l; Michael Cog gins vs John Phelan; Robert Me- Hugh. vs John Carey.
 The result so far shows scores as follows: Sharahan 34, Carey 29, Coughlan .36, Mutcunry 27, Cusick 32, Fitzmaurice 31, Farrell 32. Horan S1, Kelly 2e. Bowey 27. Joe Phelan 39. Craney 24, O'Donnell 34, Goggins 89, John Phelan 46. McHugh 19.
 By some streak of good luck or unusual skillful handling of the asteboards, John Phelnn made a remarkable. showing last week, which puts him so far in the lead but his competitors claim he will not have a similar victory during the rest of the games. It is hinted that there was something in Phel- ans high score brought about be- sides good playing, but there being nothing to prove anything wrong nothing was said about 1t at the time, so the score was recorded and will stand.

Long Island at Southar,pton sub feet to an annial rent of four bushels of Indian corn. This set- clement together with Eesthamp- tom came under Connecticut's tur- isdiction later but in 1864 Connec- ticut lost all claim to any part of Long Island. { Meanwhile the three Connecticut river settlements had not spread out, as had the coast towns, into other settlements. Boundaries on the north were unsettled. Land on the east side of the river appeared rough, heavily wooded and dam gerous. At Mattabesec or Middle town, the Indians were unfriendly. Below Middletown, the banks of the river were steep and rocky. By 1645, however, certain members of the townsl1ips had moved to a fav- .orab1e spot on the Tunxis River, which they named Pennington. In 1864, others located at Simsbury. Men sent from Wethersfie1d to ptir- sue an Indian murderer of a white man had reported the Midd1et0wn area beyond the river banks much more favorable than at first thought and M 1646 a plantation was started.4 In similar manner de- veloped many other river towns, such as Haddam, East Haddam and dIGlastonbury. 5
 Wethersfeld,s church troubles led to the settlement of Branford on land purchased from New Ha- ven. Richard Swayne brought his followers there in 1644. They were later joined by Abraham Pierson and a part, of his congregation from Long Island. e4k

of Thomas Hooker. the Colony of Connecticut, came into being. The government was established in 1889 and all lands not purchased or granted up to- that timc were at the disposal of the General Court until the close of the century.
 < Although 1t was not fully estab- lished as a settlement until 1639- 40, Saybrook at the mouth of the river had been in existence as a fort and,a rnflitory post since 1885. John Winthrop, IT, and others of the patentees (the lords and gen. tlemen, had seen the necessity for protecting the mouth of the river. particularly as the Dutch were showing signs of intention of build- ing fort there. Winthrop. was appointed to build the fort and to reserve land for settlers. The ex- pected settlers did not appear, however. and Saybrook remained Q military outp6st until George Fen wick returned from trip to Eng land in 1889 bringing others with him. Saybrook was sold to the Connecticut colony in 1644 and be- came a town in 1854.
 Glowing reports of the abund- ance and fertility of the soil at Quinnipiac (New Hayen) had been received at Boston from Captain Israel Stoughton who had pursued the Pequots through that territory, so when Reverend John Daven. port, Theophilus Eaton, Edward Hopkins and others arrived from England fleeing religious persecu- tion they spurned all offers from the Massa chusetts towns to settle
 permanently. After . few months, they sent a small party of men to investigate this newly reported land of plenty. The reports were favor

 instructed to buy. land from the Indians. Early in 163S the main body of tho company arrived and began the settlement of New Ha- ven. So well pleased were Davenport. followers with their new home that later in the same year they made a second purchase from the In. dians which included all the land that is now Branford, East Haven | North Haven, Wallingford.
