Editor of 11153111111111: I think your
Councilman Pearson is very much mis-
taken, when he statesethat it impairs
the health of a child by strapping it to a
bicycle. and I also think that he is in-
terfering with matters that are out of
his line of business. 1.
My boy. who is new three years of
age, was taken sick two years ago, and
at one time his lit! was despaired of.
(Our physician said the only thing which
could save his life was plenty of fresh
air, and he recommended aseat on my
wheel for him. which lpurcbnsed. My
boy recovered his health two months

andIhe never had an accident. I claim
that there is not as much danger on the

certainly is notl'as much of a jar,
and therefore it cannot be as
harmful to the brain. It protcc~

councilman is after, let him stop all
children from riding in carriages. L :t
him also stop all mothers from rocking

A strange tale of a man' s resentnwnt
for an injury done his father more than
three-quarters of 11 century ago was
brought to light recently by the visit to
this city of Daniel Porter, a wealthy
merchant of San Jose, Cal.
True to a vow registered many years
ago he refused to stay longer than 24
hours in a State that had meted out to
his father unjust and terrible punish
ment for a trivial ofleuce, the more
thoughtless infraction, in fact. of a blue
law even at that time almost in desue
tude. Although pressed to remain by
his best. a well known West End man,
his determination not to pass two nights
in the old Nutmeg State could not be
shaken. and he left for New York Sun
day afternoon.
"in the year 1816. his father, whose
name was also Daniel,was 11 young man
of 18 years in the little town of Coven
try. Sermons were tedious things in
those days. and one Sunday as young
Porter sat in church, he allowed his
thoughtsto wander. Absent uiindedly
he drew his knife from his pocket and
commenced 'to cut his fingernails. The
sharp eye of the tithing mun caught the
desecration of the sauctnary,‘a11d l'ur-
tor was immediately placed under ar-
rest.
The court in which he was tried pre-
served the usages of old Colonial days.
the present Constitution of Connecticut
not having been adopted until 111115. and
the gravity of his offence was clearly
recognized under the old code. The
courtt fopnd a punishment to fit the
crime, and Porter was ordered to be
banished from the State for life. What
is more, he had to go, for there was no
dailyiug with the law than: days. Por-
ter had desired to go to sea and a courts

years. but early in the 40’s he drifted to

fact that his father could have returned
