Interesting History Life of Johr
Reid of Waterbury-Fnt Member Whose Gift Inspired Offer
ings Of Over 100000 Product of Self Denial

when 80 years of age, he visited
Graymoor for the last time, ar
irving in the early forenoon with
out previous announcement, as
was his custom, for we never knew
when to expect him. Instead of
making the journey by railroad
as anybody else would have done
he had crossed the country by
trolley lines to save expense, and
had travelled In this fashion all
through the night in spite Of. his
advanced age. Arriving in the
same way on a previous occasion
as soon as he was alone with
the President of the Union That
Nothing -Be-Lost, he thrust his
hand into the inner pocket Of his
coat and drew out roll Of green
backs amounting to $780,. Lay
ing the bank notes on the table
he said: II have just sold a por-
ton of my farm at Reidville and
here Is the entire amount re-
ceived by the sale. have not kept
a single dollar for myself"
