Owners of horses in New Canaan are impatient over the dispute between the seleetmen and the water company to cease providing water for the tanks where, for several years, New Canaan quadrupeds have quenched their thirst. The difficulty arose over refusal of the selectmen to pay a bill to the company until the latter settled a claim for damages caused by overflow from one of the tanks to private property. The company and last year’s board of as. lectmen had an understanding of some sort about this matter, but the present board is pursuing a new policy. There is talk of calling a town meeting to dis cuss the matter. Matinee, Evening, ‘.-> IN MEMORIAM. . FRANCES DENNIS CHOLWELL. [From Monday’s GAZETTE] There are no more pathetically sad and heart-melting bereavements, that come within the experiences of our hu- man lives, than when relentless death invades a happy home and takes from it the devoted wife and loving mother. When with the suddenness and fatal- ity of a lightning bolt, the sunshine of life and light and joy and peace,cement- ing and illumining a loving family, are ensbrouded in the hopeless gloom of a fond mother’s eternal departure. And when it is the young wife and mother, who is thus called, affluent in all the graces that give charm to the refined home, and make it an earthly paradise, giving’i'orth the genial warmth of un- atinted affection and sunshine, to all about her beneficent presence, and evoking love and homage in unbounded measure in return, how doubly agon- izing, how unutterably poignant, is such a grief. Such is the dark impene- trable cloud; such the agonizing sor- rowhwhich now veils an erst Norwalk happv home and calls forth a whole town’s tenderest love and sympathy. God abundantly comfort and sustain his stricken ones. “The earth is full of farewells to the dying. And mournings for the dead— Rachael for her children crying— Will not be comforted." —No claims, no affidavits, but a GAZETTE advertisement gets there \ .... .. J a WEEkLY t.

A story comes from Central Amer- ica. that a juguar came to a native’s sugar bush one day and upset the pan of boiling hot syrup while jumping over it at the native’s dog. It was a sad mishap for the jaguar, but a joy- ful one for the native, who sat in a nearby tree hugging it hard lest he slide down in the jaguar’s open mouth. The boiling syrup got on the jaguar's paws. It made the jaguar rear with pain, and over and over the brute rolled, trying to shake off the hot, sticky stud. It rolled into the stream of sugar, and was plastered from head to foot. Even its eyes were closed. Monkeys and birds from the neighbor- ing thickets . came around and squealed. The molasses stuck the fur into wads and clumps, and the leaves and twigs lying about stuck fast to the hair. \Vllcu the big cat rolled up against :1 tree trunk it would seize the trunk with its teeth and claws, tearing through the bark. For over two hours the beast ripped things up with undi- minished vigor, then it slowly ceased Struggling. Then the native, Juan COS- tcrize, slid down the tree, picked up his machete, sneaked up to the beast cautiously, and, using the big knife as an axe, brought the heavy blade down on the brute’s skull, knocking out the laSt vestigc of life. \Vith the assist- ance of neighbors he dragged the car- cass to a nearby stream, where it was soaked for a day to dissolve the mo- lasses. The beast was then skinned, and now Costerize poses as a mighty 11untcr.——New York Sun. He DIade alliistake. It was the judge (icing the talking. “Onelof my most peculiar experiences was while I was on the bench down in Pennsylvania. Hunk ‘Vodders was brought down from the mountains charged with stealing a Shoat from one of his neighbors; I asked him if he awnnted a jury trial. “‘Don’t want no trial ’tall,’ he re- plied doggedly. ‘I‘ll jist plead guilty.’ “ ‘But did you steal it, Hunk?’ “‘Didn’t steal nuthin'. But I kin take my medicine.’ “ ‘1'11 enter a plea of not guilty and appoint a lawyer to defend you.’ “ ‘I hain‘t u goin’ for foolin’ ’round with no lawyer. I bought that shoot from a fcller, an’ that’s all there are to it.’ "Then I called him to me and whis- pered: ‘Now, honest, Hunk, between man and man, did you steal the pig?’ “ ‘J ist atween you and me, jedge?’ “‘No one else Shall know a word about it.’ ~ .

The testi- mony against Hunk was strong and I charged the jury as fairly as I ever did in my life, but they acquitted him. “Then Hunk came up to me with flushed face and hanging head. ‘ ’Pon my soul, jedge, I din’t mean ter tell you no lie. I' thought I stole that shoot, but “it 'pears I didn’t.’ ”—Detroit Free Press. . < A Bluff that Won. The Earl of March, who was known as “old (2.,” on one occasion was chal- lenged to fight a duel by an Irish sportsman. Lord March appeared on the ground accompanied by a second, surgeon and other witnesses. Great was his surprise to see his opponent appear with a like retinue to his own, but increased by a. third person who staggered under the weight Of a pol- ished oak coflin, which be deposited on the ground end up. with its cover fac— ing Lord March and his party. Sur- prise gnve place to terror when his lordship read the inscription plate on- graved with his own name and title, and the date and year of demise, which was the actual day as yet scarcely warm. The earl at once ap- proached his facetious antagonist and upbraided him with so unseemly a joke, to which the Irishman replied: “Why, my dear fellow, you are of course aware that I never miss my man: and, as I found myself in excel- lent trim for sport this morning, I have not a shadow of doubt upon my mind that this open box will shortly be better calculated for you than your present dress.” Lord March was so impressed by his antagonists confident manner that a peace was patched up between them. In the Industries. An old colored “uncle" applied to a druggist in Buffalo for some whiskey, not because, he. needed it, but because he wanted it. "Wé can’t let you have it. uncle. except for medicinal or me- chanical purpose. You are not sick, are you?" It was a powerful temptation, but the old man overcame it. “No, sah." he said weakly. “And you don’t need it for mechanical purposes?” “\Vhat‘s dem. salt?” “Oh, well, for maimfacturing or other industries!” "I’lat's it, salt—(let’s itl”.exclaimed the old fellow, his face brightening. “De boss (lone tol’ me I had to be mo’ in- duschious or be wa'nt gwinter hab me roun‘-no longer, sah, an’ I Spec’ you better lemme bob :1 leetle liquor, to kinder lub'icate my j’ints. ’Bout er tablespoonful, sub, to each j'int’ll do for tO-day, sahl” i Insane Patients as Artists.
