"Miss Juch was the Marguerite in the

interpreted. She is young and attrac-

and her thoughts and feelings come with
a spontaneity that is refreshing. She

Home Ifoiloctlons by u Builder.
Having been confined to the house for
several days on account of sickness, l
have, as is my wont, carefully read daily.
among other papers, your valuable jour-
:1", and as Is iuv custom, after reading
local and general news, I have
manned the advertising columns, and,
Is is often the case, found advertisements
or interest and value.
Yesterday my eye fell upon the follow-
ing. “Sensible low cost houses. How to
Ilurid theta,” and as I had been trying to
find out that secret for the last 35 years,
at once became all attention. and upon
perusing the advertisement i found it
was to show how to build a $2,000 house
for $1,750. I did not wish to read furth-
er. That is Ito secret to me: llearned
that 35 years since. Ask the contractors
(who do only contract workl.‘ Why,
they will tell you it. Is no secret. Ask
the thousands who to-day are work-
ing at journeyman work with dimmed
eyes and trembling limbs, who, when
starting out in life with some nit-ans, a
thorough knowledge of their business;
ambitious, energetic. working through
the day and burning midnight oil to
work out details so as to be prepared the
next day to order necessary materials
and give each of his men the necessary
details to successfully prosecute their
day‘s labor. Ask these men why they
were. not successful and they will invar-
iably tell you the reason was they tried
to build a $2,000 for $1,750.
This is no fancy sketch: it is solid fact.
Look around you in any town. state or
nation where this system of getting $1.00
worth of work for ‘75 cents is in vogue.
Look around in your own vicinity,
wherever you are. and count them up.
Hopeless, poor, broken-spirited. discour-
aged, almost yearning for the time when
they can lay down their tools and be
horm- with ready bands to that mansion
which was not. built for 75c. on the dol-
lar. ll wonder if the owners of those
75 per cent. houses will be there).
Then again, hunt up the mm if you
cm, that ever mad-e more Iimi II hung
at the business. I mean the contractor,
not the speculator. i am afraid you had
better look for that needle in the hay
stack. At least, the proportion will sur-
prise you when you lock it up. Then
again, ask the lumber dealer, the bard-
warc merchant and all others who fur-
nish material and labor for a building
how it is that a $2,000 house can be built
for $1,750. They will tell you they know
the secret to their sorrow. The half has
not been told.
Would you expect the man who
bought a cargo of coal in New York for
$3 per ton to deliver it in your cellar for
7.’ )pi‘l’ cent. of its cost? No, you would
not ex vat it, (and besides, we have no
dealers of that kind bere'I. Would you
really expect. your grocer to sell you a
barrel of flour for 36 which cost him $3":
i guess not. And yet, when your neigh-
bors or mine decides to build a house
they send off to somebody who adver-
tises a house for 75 per cent. of its actual
cost: tells him as near as he cart what he
wants. He sends him an atlas or a book
with a variety of plans which are never
what he wants, and must be redrawn by
some local builder or architect. How-
ever. he has to pay for the book, for that
is the way some would-be-arcbitect, lo-
cated in some seventh story attic. lighted
by a skylight, and who has no idea of
proportions of architecture but can be
found in books to be had anywhere gets
a living. Such men are blots upon the
ancient and honorable name. But our
friend gets the book and has it altered or
made over to suit, and in nine cases out
of ten does not get one cent for what
costs him from $10 to $50. But he has
got the plans all right, now he must get
figures, and all who estimate are told
they must figure down—a plain house,
(often the most elaborate in town) and
whoever gets it will find it so before he
gets through.
Wcll, who will we get to estimate.
Everybody. There is a firm over there
that has been bossing it a year or so.
They say they work mighty cheap. A
new firm just started from out of town.
Would not wonder if they would put the
price down to get a start. Don’t know
what kind of work they do, but we will
get their figures anyway. And so on
through the whole line of candidates
heretofore described. How about the
old stock who have done the greater and
best part of the building in town. 0h,
would like one of them to build my
house, but they are too high. We are
going to save that 25 per cent. Call them
all in and let them figure. No matter
about the material or wormanship, “’6
will see to that later.
Facts friends, doleful facts. As I all
looking out of my window I see scores
of houses worth to build from $1. 200 to
$12,000 that have been built for“ .5 per
cent. less than cost, and methinks as I
gaze I see spots and stains and blemishes
all over them. They are not apparent to
the owner 3 eye, but lie I gaze they stand
out more bold, and I find they are caused
by‘ sleepless nights, tears, sighs, yea,
heart's blood spots, which will burn into
and cause the direst anguish to those
who caused them. Yours truly.

Ileualimi‘a Livery stables at Bruin-putt
[dried up by Flames.
The reflection of the fire so distinctly
seen in the eastern heavens last night,
was caused by the burning of lienabaw's
large livery stables in Soulhport. The
blaze could be seen twenty miles distant
and gave the impression that a steamer
was allre on the sound. A report to that
effect crept into some of the New York
morning papers. Several Not-walk and
East Norwalk firemen visited the scene
of the conllagration. There were twen-
ty horses, a cow and a number of pigs in
tlIobuilIlingr. All of the animals were
saved however. Between 400 and 500
bushels of cats and a large quantity of
bay and straw was consumed with the
stables. The loss, it is said will amount
to $5,000. which is covered by insurance.
Harnesses, whips, wagons. sleigbs were
saved.

A Thrifty Commit .lty that Keeps l’ace
With the Times.
Georgetown is one of the thriftiest vil-
lages on the line of the liousatonic road,
and keeps time to the march of improve-
ment and progrcsdon. The leading
merchants of the place are M. Connery,
general store; M. B. Mills, groceries; C.
L. Olmstead. gereral store: (i. F. Batter-
son, groceries: ll. H.('lilbert, drugs; Wal-
lace W illiams, jeweler; Nathan Perry,
E. S. Parkenton t.’ lisrlcs Banks, butchers;
Eli Burr. blacksmith and carriage maker:
F. ii. Benton. livery. There are three
churches here—Congregational, Metho-
dist Episcopal and Catholic, each of them
presided over by an able clergyman. No
place of its size in the state has a better
district school than Georgetown can
boast of. That the place is healthful and
peaceable community may be inferred
from the fact that it has no doctors or
lawyers.
The Gilbert IS“. Bennett Manufacturing
Company. manufacturers of wire goods
of all descriptions, now employ about
150 hands. This is nearly double the
number they employed three years ago.
Georgetown has quite a settlement of
Swedes within its borders. They are a
thrifty class and make good citizens. It
is understood that they contemplate
building a church in the near future.
Services are now held every Sunday in
Masonic hall.
M. Connery received a car load of oats
yesterday from the west.
The Masonic lodge here is in a flourish-
ing condition. After the goat had been
exercised Wednesday night a supper
of it was served. The stated meetings
of the lodge occur on the second and
fourth Wednesday evenings of each
month. ,
B. 11. Gilbert lms secured the services
of Thomas K. Ledlie, a graduate of the
Albany College of Pharmacy. Mr. Led-
lie comes to Georgetown well recom-
mended.
