In the exhilaration of the moment she forgot the drudgery of her life, forgot that tomorrow would come and with it the round of hard work—cows to milk, men to feed, ber- ries to pick, the baking, scrubbing— ‘all the innumerable things that never come to an end. She forgot that she was tired, that it was late and that the men were in bed.

This will shock the English who have so severely criticised the con- duct of the Americans guilty of simi- lar offences.

Portraits of the officers and chairmen of committees and the guests of the city will number a score or two afd then there will be photographs of the decorated streets, the parade, the performances and objects of spe- cial interest, it is expected, will make about 50 pages. Where there are large assemblages of people the pictures will be made large enough to make the identification of citizens possible. There are quite a number of these photographs which will be given a full page. It is the purpose of The Bulletin to make this book so attractive that it will be in prompt demand when it appears in December for delivery. The Bulletin has had submitted to it for examjnation about 200 photo- graphs already, and expects #0 have others submitted. The letterpress and the illustrations will represent the best part of the an- niversary celebration, and the book will be prized for its accuracy and value by Norwich people everywhere.

The general assembly of Connecti- cut is said to have been a nine milllon dollar body. ‘It dared :to do ir it did manifest con- siderable hesitance about dy- ing. Adding the half million the bridge across the Connecticut river at Saybrook is to cost and the total apprepriations are in excess of nine millions. The other side of the p.cturo shows that the estimated receipts for the next two years is $60,000 less than $7,- 000,000, and it is hoped that the esti- mate, which is low, will be equal to the expenses incurred. The chances for a deficit are first class. The inheritance tax shows a sieady advance as a revenue raiser and it is expected to reach $900,000 in the next two years; but this is to-be used to redeem the state bonds falling due in 1910. And the voting of gratuities and presents showed how geneyous the members are with the people’s money. In consequence the Hartford Courant charges the members with being guilty of “petty looting,” and other papers are approving the allegation; while the New Haven Register and other papers declare the practice of giving money and other gifts at the close as “nothing more nor less than downright graft.” It is poor policy for any legislative body to deMberately exceed the esti- mates. It is not a business way of conducting the public business and it is not likely to be approved by the people. A NOTABLE CAMPAIGN South Carplina has just had a cam- paign in which New England prohi- bitlonists are particularly interested. There were in that state twenty-one wet counties and it was decided to have a vote of the people in those counties to see if they were in favor of continuing the dispensary system. By state enactment, for two 'weeks prier to voting all dispensaries werg closed, thus giving the localities in- terested at least a taste of prohibition. There was no active campaign fer the dispensary. Being a state insti- tution, it had no money to spend in campaigning. There was nobody to buy whiskey or votes for the “wets” and very few to work for them. On the other hand, the ‘Anti-Saloon league, the: W. C. T. U. and the churches entered heartlly inte the campalign and did yeoman service for prohibition. As a result sixteen of the twenty-one counties voted to do eway with the dispensary and but five elegted to remain ‘“wet.” e diepensary system proved to be & great source of pelitical graft and | by the way in which it was eon- od disgusted the wheie people. Happy thought for today: It does not take a man of large brain to see that automobile racing is folly. Commander Peary. will not tell us how it happened, but when he re- turns will relate his achievements. The average man seldom smiles when he pays his municipal taxes, church dues, or a milliner's bill. When Harriman gets a pain Wall street gets excitéd. This may or may not be very flattering to Mr. Harri- man. / The Seattle exposition is making the *whole country sit up and take notice, for it is promising to pay divi- dends. If Congressman Fowler is a joke, as Speaker Cannon declares, Cannon should be smiling instead of exhibit- ing anger. The funny man of the Toledo Blade is sure that the young mian’ who em- braces a peroxide blonde is hugging a delusion. Those who are at the end of vaca- tion genérally have a feeling that the beginning is really the pleasantist feature about il. It the spinsters of New England would find the meandering places of these six states, there is no telling what might happen. The western declaration that cellar bakeries should take the elevator is likely to find ready endorsement in parts of New England. Harry Thaw must be wondering how it is so many-lunatics get pen and ink to write him daily while he is kept in close confinement. The dams that Speaker Cannon is delivering have the n's all in place. He has not learned of the new fash- ioned way of damming things. ‘When a man is referred to as “Pop” for the first time he feels a thrill not so dissimilar from that which starts him when first called “old man!” The debt of Japan amounts to $22 per capita, and she is more devoted to meeting her obligations than to getting into trouble with any nation. If the Roosevelt trophies have all been stolen it simply shows that some one has been napping when it would have been better to have remained awake. It may be just to say that the house was the respectable part of the gen- eral assembly. If the senate had fol- lowed Luther it would have distin- guished itself. Col. Bryan will raise lemons In Texas. The kind of lemons he wil} pasB around then will not be like those the great American people have passed to him. LETTERS TO THE £DITOR. A Goed Word for the City Ash Cart and Driver. Mr. Editor: That beautiful dog cart has no tongue, nor does it require one. Its beauty speaks for it,'and everybody echoes Back the praise. But do you see that grimy old ash and garbage cart coming along? It has a tongue, and yet it is\ tongue-tied— to dumb animals. It can only creak out its compiaints, when overburdened with other people’s remains! Not even the tired felloe hanging around thg classical Hub ever spoke an intelligent word of coneolation or of praise to the good-natured, ashen- countenanced fellow on the seat. So, if sach spoke in the wheels were spokesman, when it gets a little loose this hot weather, might say to the fellow on the sea ou are the driver of a most useful public hearse that bears away to “the city dump” the re- mains of what was once “dear” to the Peace to those remains and to when you shell have been called away to a higher place than the official ene {pu now occupy.

May vou never, howsver, l.fi “the land of apinits’ the. d o8 that ebbed away tho many old whis- m and h.sr bottles your have buried, befitting epitaphs to show their self- sacrificing devotion in shielding the public from the storms of life. The old cart shares with you the enviable hon- or of being truly useful and indispensa- ble, and I shall cheerfully go to ashes with the rest of the old cart and ask no better rewand. C. H. TALCOTT. Norwich, Aug. 26, 1909. The Cost of Dying. Every minister who has attended funerai services In the families of wage-earners must have been impress- ed by the burden of expense lald on them and the uselessness of so much of it. The pereaved friends are per- suaded often by those interested in the business that respect for the dead re- quires them to spend money freely. There are delicate hints that unless a costly coffin, expensive flowers and dresses, talented singers and plenty of carriages are provided, the impression will be left on the community that the departed was not beloved and will not be greatly missed. We have known a working girl, at the death of her mother who had been dependent on Ler, to pay out of what she had saved from her wages $220 for a coffin, and to have worked many months after- wards to pay other debts incurred for the funeral. Ministers could, if they would, do much to stop this false sen- timent which fosters a crushing bur- den on those who cannot afford it. The Rev. Quincy L. Dowd of Winnetka, 11l, has an article in the Cook County School News giving an investigation into the costs of burial. He also cites an instance of the funeral of a Bo- hemian woman whose daughter is a helper in the Chicago University col- lege settlement. The service and burial, under the auspices of the Roman Catholic church, cost $500. wo- man’s husband was a day laborer unifors uniform. ) ‘l Don’t blame the oven, nor the cook, all the time. results is the fault of the flour. . is the one sure flour. though these are to be destroyed in a furnace in a few minutes. What should be a simple reverent service is made a mercenary and cruel business to which society reluctantly and timidly con- sents, Mr. Dowd says truly: “The church ought first to know the trage- dies bound up with modern burial costs and try to protect soclety from this inflicted burden. We who are ministers might, if we had the cour- age or good sense, avoid the ridicu- lousness of it, the sheer paganism and vulgarity obsequies. that it well-to-do people would refrain from costly display in arranging for funerals their example would be worth much to their poorer neighbors.—Con- gregationalist. Trolley Vacation Travel, How the midsummer trolley travel will develop and how it will be cared for are problems which are being stud- ied with keen interest by both practi- cal trolley managers and students of the economics trasportation. The month of July saw a sudden increase | g, in the amount of vacation travel. This is a development which some of the managers foresaw, and others, if fore- seeing, did not adequately meet. The vacation travel from Hartford to Springfleld and beyond is cared for by the Hartford & Spring- fleld trolley with the limited service which covers some 27 miles in a little less than two hours. In July a limited service was inaugurated between Bos- ton and Worcester, On the heels of this comes a similar service which was instituted between Worcester and Springfleld. The time from Springfleld to Wor- cester is now reduced by half an hour.
