Lovers of the antique would rejoice
In the possession of a quaint old Iron
safe which was discovered In an out-

not long ago. The safe was probably
used by Its original owner when he
raised sheep and sold their word. It
la large enough to hold all the profits
that Brown might have reaped In
hls wool business The discovery has
been made by Col. John L. Rice, of
Springfield, Mass Instead of keeping
his prise, however. Col Rice has turn
ed the curious old article over to the
Connecticut Valley Historical society
The safe must have contained many
interesting documents during Its so-
journ under Brown s roof, and It
would be Interesting to get hold of
some of them.
