A hungry robin finds shelter in a church during Christmas eve. The Sunday school and minister nurture the bird with crumbs and carols before the robin sings, praising God as the hymn ends. A tale of kindness and faith amid winter.
A compact history of Greece's seven sages Pittacus Bias Solon Thales Chilon Cleobulus and Periander. A tale explains why they were famed for wisdom after a golden tripod passes through their hands and travels to the Temple of Apollo teaching distrust in wisdom.
A poor musician owned an ebony flute with silver keys valued for beauty more than use. His tailor friend, fond of music, practiced on the flute when visiting. One night the musician was away and the flute disappeared, prompting a cautious search that focused on a local old woman but produced no clear culprit.
A reader muses on whether a local woman is the old lady with spectacles or a young hopeful, and laments advertising daughters in marriage. She notes our Centennial gathering and urges modesty, while planning a linen parasol and centennial reading. The column closes with a Danbury News blurb about a mother cutting her son's hair with tender care.
