The town of Meriden has been made ‘he defendant in a suit brought by Attorney I. H. Mag for William Blake of South Meriden. Blake claims that his famlly was quarantined for geven weeks beginning August 6, be- cause one of his seven children was believed to have diphtheria. He had ®een told by three physicians that the child did not have that disease, but he alleges the health officer compelled him to submit to an unjust quarantine. Blake waats the town to settle for the wages he lost and other expenses. He was allowed $2 a week by the town until the quarantine was lifted. All Who Would Enjoy good health, with its blessings, must un- derstand, quite clearly, that it imvolves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoy- ment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright. Then the use of medicines may be dis- pensed with to advantage, but under or- dinary conditions in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may besinvalu- able if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is slike important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it. Consequently, the Company’s Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna gives gemeral satisfaction. To get its beneficial effects buy the genuine, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Purchasing IARSHALL’ Agency, 164 Main Street.

Buyer Believed to Be Acting for New York Syndicate, Gets Illinois Land. Mt. Vernon, Ill, Dec. 12.—Loren N. Wood of New York city closed a deal Saturday with J. P. Rend of Chicago and W. H. Hart and W. W. Williams of Benton, 11, for 20,000 acres of coal lands in Franklin county, Illinois. This, added with other purchases made in Franklin and Jefferson coun- ties, brings Mr. Wood’s holdings to 48,000 acres, representing the expendi- tupe of $1,500,000. Mr. Wood is believed to represent a groeup of New York capitalists which has been taking over large tracts of coal lands in the local coal field. The lands purchased are underlaid with rich coal deposits and the quality of the coal, according to chemical analy- sis, shows high grade. There are three veins in the field and two of them can be worked profitably. Mr. Wood is still actively engaged in rounding up more lands with the view of making pur- chases. From the best information that can be procured, it Is believed 100,000 acres are to be purchased at a cost of $3,000,000. Derelict Farms. The ancienit term, ' ‘abandoned farms” has become obsolete. It took a long time for desk farmers to learn that there were nont. Now the talk is about “derelict farms.” That is more appropriate. Our desk agri- culturists want these derelict farms utilized for cattle growing. But they fail to state that raising the beef is only the beginning of trouble. When it comes to selling, the Connecticut rancher will find the beef combine very much in evidence, and inspired with the determination to hamper him.

Gould Bro- kaw, were manifested again and again today through her persistent cross ex- amination. “At the times you say your hus- band threatened to blow out your bnuns, did you believe him?’ asked gohn . McIntyre, counsel for the de- en. ot when he wasn't drinking,” re- turned the witness, adroitly. “Did he say he would or could do it?” pursued Mr.\Meclntyre. “In Paris he said he could and in the south he said he would.” “Well, he didn't, did he?” asked Mr. McIntyre, as a clincher. “I think,” said the witness sweetly, “you find I still have a few left.” What “Paralyzed Drunk” Means. At another time there was a ques- tion as to what Mrs. Brokaw meant by “paralyzed,” an adjective she ap- plied to Mr. Brokaw’s condition on a night when she testifled she telephoned for his secretary to take care of him. Mrs. Brokaw amplified her definition into “a condition of helpless intoxica- tion,” and Mr. Mclntyre immediately wished to know how the witness had qualified as a judge in the symptoms of drunkenness. “My varied experience after mar- rl;ge made me an expert,” she retort- ed. Society Crowded the Courtroom. | The worst weather an Atlantic coast northeaster can show did not daunt the curious today. Many women rich- ly robed in furs motored over to Mineola, L. I, and crowded the little courtroom. The testimony did not dis- appoint them. Statement by Mr. Brokaw. Mr. Brokaw, just before court con- vened, gave out a statement for the Wife of Millionaire, Who is Suing for fopu‘ntion and Al- imony, Shows Ready Wit and Coolress on Witness Stand press, in part as follows: “I have been grossly misrepresented by Mrs. Brokaw and by members of her family. Proposition after propo- siticn has been made to me by the plaintiff’s side to abandon this case if I should submit to a large settle- ment of money.” Branded as a Lie by Petitioner’s Sy Counsel. Mr. Baldwin, M#s. Brokaw’s lawyer, immediately issued a counter state- ment in part as follows: | “The .statement given out by the defense that the plaintiff’'s side had made overtures to him to abandon the case upon payment of a large sum of money is an unmitigated and deliber- ate falsehood, and consistent with the policy adopted by the defense by try- ing the case by unsulhe”ntiated state- ments made without the sanctity of | an oath.” Cigarettes and Cocktails. After these preliminaries, both sides got down to the serious business of | the day. Mrs. Brokaw was asked she did not once take poison by mis- take with no ‘intention of killing her- self. “Now, wasn’t that only a bluff?” | queried Mr. Mclntyre. | “No, it was not,” she replied indig- | nantly, “I wanted to die.” | Cigarettes had proved rassing subject for Mrs. Brokaw in previous testimony. Today she tri- umphed over ceocktails, of which she had tasted only four in her life, she said, and never before breakfast. Champagife, she thought, tasted very much like ginger ale. Mrs. Brokaw's Outfit Bills—Corsets for Mr. Brokaw. Mr. McIntyre began to delve into Mrs. Brokaw’s bills for dresses. Her lawyer cut him short with an admis- sion that Mr. Brokaw spent $30,900 on his wife in their first year of married if | | an embar- life. | Mr. McIntyre thought the items | spoke for themselves, | “I will hardly agree,” he instanced, “that a couple of hundred doliars’ worth of corsets were. used by Mr. Brokaw.” Brokaw himself, who is far from puny, joined in the laughter that fol- lowed. “If I recollect rightly,” put in Jus- tice Putnam, “General Hancock used them during a campaign.” OLD GRIMES IS DEAD. He Has Been So a Long Time But His Memory Lives. Dwight C. Kilbourn of Litchfield, publisher of a history of the bench and bar of Litchfleld county, in telling of the law school which was there many years ago, reveals the origin of the song, “Old Grimes,” which has been sung, with, numerous variations, for three generations in New England. Mr. Kilbourn says: ne of the characters connected with our legal fraternity was Willilam Grime: universally known as “Old Grimes.” It is generally supposed that he was a mythical character, but he was not. He was a runaway slave who came to Litchfield, probably about 1808, and was a general servant to the students at the law school. He was born in Virginia and was the body servant of a man by the name of Grimes, whose name in after years he adopted. By the fortunes of business adversities ifls master was obliged to dispose of him and he fell into - the hands of cruel masters, from whose barbarous treatment he ran away to the land of liberty, which at that time was Litchfield. “Judge Reeve had acquired quite a reputation for defending fugitive slaves, and Litchfield was thought by them to be the home of the free. Grimes was thrifty and frugal and ac- quired some property and land, on which he had a small barber shop. Some of the southern students of the law school ascertained his status and made matters unpleasant for him by notifying his master, who took steps to recover him. Grimes disposed of his property through his friends, Dr. Abel Catlin and William H. Thompson, who took the pruceeds to buy his freedom His last appearance on the Litch- field land records was Aug. 6, 1824. In the latter years of the law school Grimes moved to New Haven, where had at Litchfield to the capacity as he had at Lichfield to the students at Yale college. He published in a‘little pamphlet a sketch of his life, contain- ing a portrait. He died about 1850 in New Haven, “Grimes’ great notoriety lies in the well known lines, Old Grimes Is Dead,” the history of which is given to me by an old resident of Litchfield, and from other data which I have secured is as follows: Albert G. Green of Rhode Island, who afterward became a distinguished man, United States senator, etc., was a student of the law school in 1812 and was very fond of making rhymes about all manner of things and, upon all occasions, and Grimes importuned him to make some poetry for him, the result being the lines above referred to, a few stanzas of which are here given:” Old Grimes. 2ld Grimes is dead—that good old man, ‘We ne’er shall see him more; He used to wear a long black coat All buttoned down before. His heart was open as the day, His feelings all were true; His hair wag some inclined to gray— He wore it in a queque. Whene'er he heard the voice of pain His breast with pity burned: The large round head upon his cane From ivory was turned. Kind words he ever had for all He knew no base design; His eves were dark and rather small, His nose was aquiline. ed in peace with all mankind, riendship he was' true; His coat had pocket holes behind, His pantaloons were blue. But good old Grimes is now at rest, Nor fears misfortune’s frown; He wore a double-breasted vest, The stripes ran up and down. He modest merit sought to find And pay it its desert; He had not malice in his mind, 3 No ruffles on his shirt. His neighbors he did not abuse, Was sociable and gay; He wore large buckles on his shoes, And changed them every day. Thus undisturbed by anxious cares His peaceful moments ran, And everybody said he was A fine old gentleman. Skill of ns in Using the Stock-Whip.

Owing to its great length—the lash varies from 12 to 30 feet—and the shortness of the butt, which only measures 18 inches, it is an extremely difficult and awk- ward thing to wield, and the beginner is apt to seriously hurt himself if he does not exercise care when practis- ing. A well-trained stockman, however, says The Wide World Magazine, can hit a cent every time at ten paces distance, and with the dreaded lash in his hand, cracking like pistol shots, can keep a mob of wild cattle in check. If used with full force, it will cut threugh the skin and flesh like & knife; but, unless a beast shows dis- tinet vice, the stockman uses it more for the purpose of instilling fear than of causing pain.
