Gordon has been before the public eye in this town on many occasions and another chapter was added to his woes yesterday. Gor- don is in the produce business and re- cently he decided to add poultry to his wares. Yesterday morning he del- &gated his two sons, Nathaniel, Jr., better known as “Buffke” and Aaron, to ‘come to town and purchase a sup- ply of chickens. The former drove the wagon and the father gave the mdney, is about fourteen years old and cau- tioned him to hang on to it for dcar | fife. When the boys reached the old | cofitn factory, Nathaniel, told the Younger fellow he knew a place in the rear where a man kept a supply of the hicds. Of course, being the clder he chould be the one to perform the transaction, The younger boy at first demurred to this as he distinctly re- cgllle@ the advice of his father. Final- -1y by his persuasive eloquence, Na- thaniel, Jr., convinced Aaron that he was the better business man. 4Aaron wrapped the blanket around hifiself and the older boy left for the farmhouse. The younger hoy sat in the wagon for what he considered a | reasonable length of tirne. He whistled and called but reccived no reply from his brother. Finally he jumped from the wagon and started on a scouting todr. He jnquired at all the houses in the ncighborhood but could get no information concerning thc where- abouts of his hrother. Little Aaron became peeved over the disappearance and began to cry His eries grew into shrieks, so one citizen asked him, the cause of the upr: Between sobs he made, his woes known. He had a pre- | monition that his brother had de- calnped and,when the citizen suggest- ed that they g0 to the passenger depot and make: fhguirics, the assented. facts, when after, de erto the station agent formed a youth answering - tion had purchased a ticket and hadl Teft on the 12 o’clock train for Boston. | The tears of the youth began to flow again and he emitted blood curdiing yells. His father was notified of the incjdent and the people who' thcught the youth could scream, hastily re- vised their opinions, and the vyelling championship ~ was unaninwously awarded to the elder Gordoh. Gordon has decided to postpone his debut into he poultry business for a time. 3 Scarcity of Labor, There is a sreat scarcity of iabor in ‘ this winter. In former ycarsl ! struction company have a large {wdli when a storm came along it ‘was very easy to procure labor to remove the snow and do other kinds of odd jobs. This year however, it is entirely the other way. Many of the townspeople are having difficulty in getting men to do even the simplest kinds of work. The factories are very busy and this accouats for the lack of odd job men as they prefer to work inside during the winter. The American Paper Goods company and the Berlin Con- sup- spects ng the former ply of orders on hand and pre seem bright for many more du: early part of next year. The company has decided to allow its em- ployes two days' vacation over the holidzys closing tonight and reopening Monday morning. The latter concern will shut down for Saturday only, the rush of business on hand making it necessary to keep the wheels of in- dustry moving. Hold Christmas Entertainment. The Sunday school of St. Gabriel’s Methodist church, East Berlin, held its annual Christmas entertdinment in Athletic hall last night. The hall was appropriately aecorated with evergreens ahd holly. A choir made up of boys of the school rendered carols and the children recited and presented a tableaux. Automobile 'Croubles. The storm %esterday created much trouble for the automobilists. The engines of the machines-ate up the gasoline faster than usual and as a result many wereystalled along their route, because th& owners had not figured closely on the amount of the fluid necessary. A large touring car stopped on the middle of Flannery’s hill at 7 o’clock last night. At first the driver thought the difficulty lay with the engine. Finally one of the party suggested that the supply of gasoline had run out. The driver re- plied he had put in his usual daily supply and was certain that was not the trouble. However, women are persistent and finally to appease a fair member of his party, the driver ex- amined the tank and found it empty. A large truck, belonging to one of the manufacturing -corporations of New Britain met with the same diffi- culty while returning from Middle- town and the supply had to be replen- shed at a local -store. The -driver 2id he had filled his tank vesterday morning and was surprised when he found it empty. ‘Whist 'Club Meets. The Home Whist club of Kensing- ton held its bi-monthly meeting with Miss Marjorie Moore last night. The ladies’ prizes were awarded to Mrs. George Griffith and Miss Roberta Gra- ham. Richard Brown and Dr. M. H. Griswold captured the gentlemen’s prizes. After the whist, a collation was served. Kensington M. E.

NEW YEAR’S GIFT FOR LOYAL EMPLOYES Meriden Factory to Award Workers ‘Who Refrained From Joining the Strike. Meriden. Dec. .—Announcement was made today at the factory of Manning, Bowman and Co., a branch of the International Silver Co., that all employ who failed to join the strike now in progress at the com- pany’s plant will receive as a New Year’s gift an amount equal to two cents an hour for every hour they have worked since Oct. 4. The office force, with the exception of high salaried men, will also receive sums proportionate to salary. At the office of the International Silver Company, where a strike is on, it was announced that effective Satu: day the shops would go on a new receive more pay for fifty-five hou:s work than they have been getting for sixty hourss Women employes will receive a minimum wage of twelve an da half cents an hour, The same schedule and rate of pay, it was stated, will also go into effect at the. Manning, Bowman and Co. factory on Jan. 1. The Indictment of Warden Osborne. (New York World.) Most persons will prefer to wait for the evidence before arriving at a definite opinion in regard to the merits of the indictment which a Westches- ter County Grand Jury has returned | against Warden Osborne of Sing Sing. It is within the range of human pos- | sibility that Mr. Osborne has been | guilty of malfeasance and immorality. It is considerable further within the range of human possibility that the charges against him have been manu- factured by a gang of unscrupulous politicians to give the Governor an excuse to remove him. When a Sing Sing Warden of Mr. Osborne’s reputation and attainments has been honestly trying to reform prison methods, it requires more proof than the ex-parte assertion of a West- | chester County Grand Jury, taking its | law from a W 'hester County Dis- trict Attorney, to convince us that he belongs among the convicts of whom | he is the official custodian. In the circumstances, we reserve the right to Pe exccedingly sceptical until know more about the merits of the | man who | in court in a few | apologize, warfare in winter the farsighted Teu- tons, Plainville News PERRIN MUST HEND WAYS T0 BE FREE Court Suspends Execution of Sen- tence of Sixty Days T0 BUILD CONCRETE FACTORY Several Hundred Skilled Men May Be Employed By Rockwell’s New Com- Cady Honor of Her Aunt—Other Matters, pany—Mrs. Entertains in Suspending the execution of punish- ment, Justice .
