" buc-U was the serenade we received
the other eveulu.gr, when a hen-pecked
husband came into our store and told
us the following sorrowi'ul story: ou
see, my wile and 1 have been married
quite a while, and from the very mo
. meiit we were married my better half
wouldn't al ow me to drink tea or cot
fee, because they are detrimental, (in
Tact they were sure poison, and itt her
tell it.) But the other evening niy
darling was about to'make some cocoa,
broino, grain-O or some oilier O, when
behold, there in the stuff lay quietly a
well developed, beautiful cockroach.
Say. she danced a jig around I lie kitch
en to beat the baud. 1 didn't think
she could do half so well. I'.iii. to come
to the point, all the gold in the Klon
dike or all the diamonds in South Af
rica couldn't induce her to drink any
more of her favorite. Shi began to
cry and they were the first tears I
paw since we were married. W ed.
I ventured to say. my dear. I don t
" went to offend you. but I do wish you
would trv some tea and car. e :,ut
once. If you dislike it. I'll f.U' ymi
mv word, I'll throw it out 1. J. U
She let me eet '4 pound of ('renin
- Java Coffee at :'.' cents per pound,
and here I am again. She like if. aim
to be caDdid. she looks bftb-r. feels
better and is better natnred. W l'.v
von wouldn't hardly know Ik r. 1 tell
you. the cockroach commenced the
good work, but your Ten and roiTee
has finished it nid brought happiness
into my house. Tell the iveople so. be
cause it's as true as the sun shines.

The Southern New England Tele
phone company announces to-day n
general reduction of telephone rentals
in all exchanges in Connecticut where
the number of subscribers is less than
lii. The cut is an important euie and
affects fifteen towns and 1.500 sub
scribers. The present rates for party
service, covering the town in which the
exchange is located, makes the charge
for domestic or house service twenty
four dollars, and for business purposes
thirty-six dollars, with somewhat high
er rates for adjoining towns embraced
in the exchange, according to tlie distance-
from the exchange to the center
of the town. The new rate for party
line service will be $18.00 per annum
for domestic or house service, a re
duction of 25 per cent and S24.no for
business service, a reduction of 0M 1-3
per cent with a corresponding reduc
tion for adjoining towns. The Tele
phone company during the past year
has tried the experiment of a reduc
tion to the new rates in tlie exchanges
of Canaan. Norfolk and Stonington
Mystie. with tlie result that the num
ber of subscribers has been increased
by 25 per cent am it is expected that
the adoption of these lower rates will
have a similar effect iu securing new
business. The exchanges affected by
the reduction are Branforel. Dauielson,
Guilford. Litchfield. Manchester, Mil
ford. Naugatuck. New Milford, Rfelge
field. Rockville, Routhington. Saybrook,
Simsburv. Wallingford and Winsted
and their connecting towns. The re
duction is in line with the general
changes made in this state in recent
years and in all cases the business of
the company has increased proportion
ately to the reduction in -rates.

groceiy store on South street, enter
tained about thirty or forty of his

night. The menu consisted" of roast
sheep, with all the other good things
that go with it. and those who were
fortunate enough to be among the
clct (annot speak too highly of the
manner- in which the affair was car
ried out. Mr Hogan was master of
ceremonies and when everything and
everybody was. ready he delivered a
short address, in the course o which
he thanked all ifor. their presence and
offered them the freedom of the house
as long as the festivities lasted. The
progam of exercises included a song
by John Brophy entitled "The Twen

J. McDonald: song, "When We Think
of the Past." Mle'.inel Sullivan: recita
tion, "The Dying Year," John Fitzmaii
rice. The party was made .up of Mr
Hogan's neighbors and -the 'fact' that
everyone within several blocks of the
place was bidden to the feast shows
that the proper spirit obtains in tht
neighborhood. It Is said that' the gro
cer came into possession of the sheep
through an election bet and has been
fattening the aEiml up" since that
time. . . .... ... - - , . , ;

M. Whittemore began her adelress, She

left in doubt as to her integrity to the

Charles E, Bertholf of Boston gave an
exhortation aiul invitation for all to
unite in prayer.
