Your railroad fare is a very small matter for this concern to talk
about. If we can't save you more than that we are not the house we,
think we are. The Largest Furniture House in Western Connecticut
with its 40,000 square
promises nor extravagant statements. Whether you buy of us or some
one else, is not the question. The question for you to settle is, "Where
can we see the largest
the lowest prices." Wo answer that the House that handles the largest
quantity of goods can buy straight from the manufacturers and give
you the benefit of the jobbers' profit and that means the

THE HARVEST HOME SERVICE.
The CongregatlODalistg were favored
with an ideal day for their annual har
vest borne service on Sunday, and A large
audience was the result. Every seat In
the body of the house was taken, the
galleries also being called Into use. The
church was very simply but tastefully
decorated with the fruits of the harvest.
The service was a most harmonious and
beautiful one. Interesting letters from
the children who had raised the potatoes
were read by Miss Susie Scudder. There
were also recitations by Miss Mabel Tay
lor, Miss Jessie Taylor, Harley Peck and
Paul Wolcott. The choir rendered an
appropriate opening anthem, and Miss
Fannie Scudder sang a solo. Bev Mr
Barker's address was In the form of an
illustrated sermon for children, which in
terested them deeply, and held the close
attention of the elders as well. A brief
address in opening was made by the su
perintendent, A. P. Smith, who also pre
sented to Master William L. McArtbur
an Oxford Bible for raising the most po
tatoes. A dozen or more barrels of po
tatoes and apples will be sent to some
worthy charity.
REV MB JAMES SPEAKS ON TEMPERANCE-
The church was again filled to over
flowing in the. evening when Rev J. H.
James, secretary of the Connecticut Tem
perance Union, gave his illustrated lec
ture on the "Factors in the Drink Prob
lem." Mr James is a very interesting
speaker -and closely held the attention of
his audience through the entire lecture.
The pictures thrown upon the canvass
added force to his words and must have
brought conviction to his hearers that al
cohol is a dangerous plaything and alco
holism the damnation of a very large
per cent of the ruined lives. Kev Mr
James is doing a noble work for the
cause of temperance and is always heard
with pleasure by the people here, as was
attested by the exceeding flattering au
dience that greeted him Sunday evening.
OLD JIM, THE SOUTH BE IT All CREAMERY
H0SSE.
He was only a horse, old Jim, and a
buckskin, ."the homeliest beast," so
mother said when we talked of buying
him, "the homeliest beast that ever liv
ed, and probably as treacherous as home
ly." He bad Zebra (striped) legs and a
stripe down the back bone. But he had
fine knee action and a good eye, and he
came to live at Sunny Crest for better or
for worse. The first thing he said when
he got into his new stall was to the effect
that if there was anything to eat he
wanted it, and the demand never varied.
I don't believe a horse can do the work
of a span with a small ration or with a
poor digestive capacity. I never believ
ed it, and the .demand seemed rational
and was acceded to. But the threat that
accompanied it, the glaring eye and lift
ed heel I did not like. He waa thin and
seemed grateful for his oats, and by de
grees sympathy, which the proverb says
is akin to love, got the better of my fear.
One morning as my hand touched the
stable latch I was startled by a neigh so
keen and shrill that it sent the blood
tingling to my fingers. I began again to
fear my new charge, and answered him
soothingly as I put the grain in his man
ger, watching meantime for the flash of
that hind foot. But it did not come and
the glare had left his eye ; neither ever
showed itself again on any occasion. In
stead there was the eager eye and alert
ear and arched neck that I soon learned
meant affection for me. Always after
ward, whether in street or stable, coun
try or city, he would speak up when he
saw or heard me, compelling a kind word
and pat in reply. When I went about
him be often whinnied in an undertone
to me, asking in a whisper if it were not
nearly noon, or time for supper, or if I
bad an apple about ready for him, and he
always got what he wanted, the scamp 1
He was one ot those short-backed,
clean-limbed quadrupeds with four good
feet under him and knew how to start a
load and bow to haul it any distance, and
he never shirked whether single or
double.
When beside another horse he made it
his rule to be the better of the two al
ways, and no horse could step so high,
haul so much, and do so much pretty
stepping when the traces wefe slack.
Women and children soon found Jim to
be as kind and trusty as an ox and would
take him anywhere. One trait waa his
which would have preserved him sound
until 40 years old he knew how to take
care of himself, and on being stripped af
ter a day of hard work in harness, he
would lie down In his tracks and roll over
three or four times. When he rose he
always shook himself like a big dog, and
then be would trot into the barn as fresh
as if it were morning. But poor old Jim!
He did not live to spoil his splendid rec
ord. One day he returned, after hauling
away a big load of butter, and ate his
noon ration of oats. Little did I consider
that could be, the last time I should feed
him, or I would have lingered longer to
stroke that glossy neck. The booming
of heaven's artillery was beard beyond
the western hill. Soon It came over and
sped hi rattle and roar across the valley
a mid-summer shower suddenly, upon
us and soon past. But onward with the
hurrying fleecy hosts went the soul of
old Jim, if good horses have souls, as
their eyes almost prove.
. Jim fell in the battle that day, Juty 30,
and never did a truer and more gallant
charger meet fate.. As the flames con
sumed what remained of my pride I ask
ed myself whether on that last drive
had unduly urged my lost champion,and
my conscience made me happy by a neg
ative reply. Not a blow and not a harsh
word bad been given. It may seem fool
ish to some, but to me the remembrance
was a great comfort. Unquestionably
horses may be governed, absolutely gov
erned, by sympathy and appreciation.
