The Soures of True Rest.
At the First Congregational church
on Sunday morning Rev. George H.
Ewing took as his first text Job 38:30,
speaking to the boys and girls of how
we see the beauty of the Lord in the
works of his hand.
Kev. Mr. Jiwing's second text was
from John 14: S. 1 am the way, the
truth and the life, no man cometh unto
the Father but by me. Jesus never
blazoned his way, but when occasion
demanded Ho could assert himself as
no other man ever has. The- words of
the text are full of movement and tho
t'hristian life Is a Journey and the
movement is a definite goal. Jesus is
the only and sufficient way. Man is
the only one of God's creatures that is
always unsatisfied. The soul is rest
less until it finds its rest m Him.
Mane Ctarist the sum and substance of
your life. The Christian faith is a
crown of glory. Jesus Christ is the one
true way to life eternal.

Episcopal church Rev. Jerome Greer
speke from Act 2:3, And there appear

of the text with exceptional clearness
and understanding to his listeners.

HAVE BEEN MARRIED 50 YEARS
Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Gager of Bozrah will Celebrate
Golden Wedding this Afternoon and Evening.
The spacious bonus of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles A. Gager of Bozrah will be
the scene of festivity and rejoicing to
day when their sons and daughters
and other relatives and friends gather
to help them celebrate their golden
wedding. They were married in Boz
rah. hardly half a mile from where
they now reside. About one hundred
invitations have been issued and prob
ably between two and three hundred
people will call between the hours of
three and ten this afternoon and eve
ning, to pay their respects to Mr. and
Mrs. Gager and congratulate them on
the occasion which happens in the
lives of but few. The house has been
attractively decorated in the appropri
ate color of yellow, with green trim
mings. Already many handsome and
valuable gifts have been received and
the event will be made a memorable
one to the happy couple, who. though
slightly advanced in years, are still
as youthful in spirit as ever.
Charles A. Gager is a native and life
long resident of the town of Bozrah.
He was born in the Gager homestead
off Bozrah street, June 15, 1837, the
eon of Wealthy Ann Huntington and
Samuel Austin Gager. He received his
early education in Bozrah and later
attended Monson academy at Monson,
Mass., where he was a school mate of
the late Judge Charles W. Carter. On
his return to Bozrah, Mr. Gager at
once took up farming, an occupation
which he has followed ever since. On
January 11, 1859. he was united in
marriage with Harriet Francis Fargo
by Rev. Nathan S. Hunt, the wedding
taking place in the old Fox house on
Bozrah street, the home of the -bride.
Soon after their marriage Mr. and
Mrs. Gager took up their residence on
FIFTEEN YEAR OLD BOY
DROWNED IN PARK.
Paul Brosofske Broke Through Thin
Ice at Spalding's Pond Another
Boy Rescued.
Paul Brosofske, the 15 year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. William Brosofske. of
No. 665 Boswell avenue, broke through
the ice and was drowned Saturday af
ternoon about 3.30 o'clock at Spalding's
pond, in Mohegan park. Another boy
of about the same age, Dan Williams,
who lives on North street, also broke
through the ice Just afterwards, but
struggled towards shore until he was
reached and pulled out in safety. The
body of young Brosofske was recover
ed from the bottom of the pond about
8 o'clock Sunday morning. When found
it was by the side of a stump on the
bottom and the position of the arms
indicated that he probably grasped tho
stump In his drowning struggles and
thus kept himself from coming to, the
surface.
The unfortunate accident, which put
an end to skating there for the rest of
the afternoon and evening, occurred
when tho pond had a crowd of about
300 skaters on It, the ice being about
four inches thick and furnishing fine
skating except at the upper end near
the shore, where there was a stretch f
thin black Ice which had been newly
formed in the last freeze. While skat
ing alone, young Brosofske broke
through here and sank after a short
struggle. It was said that he could nt
swim. As soon as he was seen in the
water a number of men skated down
the pond to where Superintendent Duff
had a rope which he had provided- for
such emergencies, and this was thrown
to the boy, but fell short and he sank,
and did not rire again.
Just after he had disappeared from
view the Williams boy broke through
some distance farther along the shore
and the rope was rushed over there to
rescue him and planks were also
brought which Superintendent Duff
keeps in the pavilion, having provided
them last week with a view to possible
accidents. The Williams boy could
swim and broke a path through the ice
for some distance until he was about
ten feet from shore, where a tree trunk
was pushed out on tha ice and Harry
Chounaira climbed out on it and puked
young Williams in. The rescued boy
was taken to the pavilion, where his
clothes were dried out In front of the
log fire. While watching the search a
third boy broke through, going only
up to his knees.
W. Russell Baird with his automobile
drove down to police headquarters for
an officer, returning with Policeman
Irish, who cleared the pond, assisted by
Supernumerary Sullivan, as it was not
considered safe to have a big crowd
gather on the ice while the recovery of
the body waa attempted. Archibald
Torrance, the contractor, offered his
team to Superintendent Duff, who came
to the city and secured a boat lwm
Calvin Bri-ggs of the East Side and
grappling irons from Charles H. Butts
of Thames street. When these had
been brought up to the pond a search
for the body began, H. Levltsxy anu
Philip D. Wllhelmi dragging the bot
tom, but without success. This waa
given u at dark, when the grappling
irons were lost. The boy's father also
helped in the search
At daylight Sunday morning Super
intendent E. L. Burnap of the water
department, Calvin C. Williams and
William Bllcq went up to the park with
Superintendent Duff and locateo. tne
body in arout twelve feet of water, lust
about where he went down. They lo
cated the spot with a stick and Mr.
Burnap brought the body to the surface
with a hook that Mr.Wilhelml had made
and had brought up to renew the
sea rch.
The body was taken ashore, where
It was viewed by Medical Examiner
Paddock, who returned a verdict of
accidental death by drowning and gave
Undertaker Murphy permission to take
charge of it.
Dr. Paddock expressed considerable
surprise that there was no roat at the
pond and said he thought this was a
precaution the park authorities ought
to provide besides having the rope and
planks on hand.
The drowned boy was one of a fam
ily of nine children, being the fourth,
and would have been 15 on the ISth of
this month. He was a native of thij
city and was well spoken of by all
who knew him, and much sympathy is
expressed for his family.

CATARRH CURED
No Cure, No Pay, is a Most
Generous O.ler.
To get an antiseptic strong enough
to kill catarrh germs and not destroy
the tissues of the membrane at the
same time, has been a problem which
was never solved until the discovery
of Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me).
Hyomei is prepared from eucalyptus,
the most powerful yet healing anti
septic known. Breathe it through the
inhaler over the inflamed and germ
ridden membrane; four or five tlnjfj
a day, and in a few days the germs
will disappear.
The inflamed condition will go, too,
and the snuffing, hawking and offen
sive breath, and the discharge of mu
cous and crusts in the nose will cease:
Then why should any cat arm suf
ferer hesitate, when The Lee A Osgood
Co. have such faith in Hyomei that
they offer to return your money If
after a fair trial Hyomei does not
cure catarrh.
A complete Hyomei outfit, including
the Inhaler, costs $1.00. and extra bot
tles. If afterwards needed, cost but DO
cents. Hyomei also cures asthmn,
croup, sore throat, coughs, colds or
grip.

In three states of the union Alaba

prohibition laws went into effect on
the first day of the present year. It
will be Interesting to watch develop
ments. Experience heretofore has been
that prohibition does not prohibit It
is so in Maine. It was so in Iowa be
fore the adoption of the mulct law. It
has been so in Kansas. Will human
nature In Alabama and North Carolina
and Mississippi be different from what
it has shown Itself elsewhere? Yhe
answer is not "Yes" or "No." The arv
