Tbble) T 1 loved Pres- | part livery? { : Oh what joy fills your brain as you step from the train when it stops at your old home town ! How your heart beats and thumps and you swallow at lumps which appar- ently will not stay down. There’s a mist in your eyes and the thoughts that arise are blended with sorrow and joy, for you're back,—it’s the truth,—to the scenes of your youth, in the town where you lived when a boy. 4 You had planned outgthis trip,—how you'd quietly slip into town without letting ’em know, and you'd park for a spell at the Union Hotel, where you'd most likely meet Bill and Joe. But alas, when you get to the old well known spot where the Union Hotel used to be, you re- ceived quite a shock, for a big business block had sup- planted the old hostelry. 5 Then you walk down the stréet feeling sure that you'll meet in a minute, some person you’ll know. But you feel out of place for you don’t see a face that you knew in the days long ago. Then it comes to your mind that you never wiil find your old friends by just walking around; so you ask some old gink if he knew Joseph Brink, or where William J. Barnes could be found. But you learn with dis- may that they’ve both passed away, and your wanderings further disclose that the town ghat you knew doesn’t rec- ognize you,—you're a stranger whom robody knows. All those dearly loved haunts which you knew in your jaunts, are gone—never more to be seen, and the little old park where the lovers would spark, is a place where they sell gasoline. Oh there’s much that’s been said in the books that we’ve read about pleasures in taking a roam to-the scenes of our youth, but the God’s honest truth,—is you’re tickled to beat it back home. All the pleasures you thought would be yours,—come to naught, and your castles go tumbling down,—and you’re pleased when the train takes you back home again, from your trip to the old home town, police report that for the the The “for the most part” of t ley, th red a people have done th . popu- | commended, and this with full for the difficulties under which m in trying to keep the A dangerous demagogue is a man Bat emphasis should be laid | who has no respect for a million dol- |/ on the wisdom of getting at the snow | lars, { 1 States, was mur- | | Editor Herald: appreciation| When the cashier stays away 160 i o Ty ol wan able e, Wy | long it is conceded that he is shor!.!l“m from local Post Ofiice authori- |ties, we have 23 mail routes in New Britain, ‘We had just that many mail routes 11 years gao.

I wish that they would take up this matter with the Post- master and if necessary with the postal authorities in Washington. New HBritain is entitled to just as good mall service as any other city in the country.
