It is net surprising that a great deal of interest is felt in the pictures which are to be a feature of the 250th an- niversary Jubilee book—what they are to »e and what they are to repre- sent. Portraits of the officers and chairmen of committees and the guests | of the city will number a score or two and then there will be photegraphs ef the decorated streets, the parade, the performances and objects of spe- clal 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 eltizens possible. There are quite a number of these photographs which will be ziven a full page. . It is the purpose of The Bulletin to make this beok so attractive that it will be in prompt demand when it appears in December for delivery. The Builetin has had submitted to it for examination abeut 200 photo- graphs already, and expects to have others submitted. The letterpress and the illustrations will represent the best part of the an- niversary eelebration, and. the book will be prized for its accuraey and value by Norwich people everywhere, Order books on the coupen to be found in The Bulletin's advertising columne. THE NORTH POLE PRE-EMPTED. The expected has happened and the American eagle figuratively speaking has perched on the North pole and perched te stay. The American ex- plorers have been the most daring and persistent, and then the achievement of Dr. Cook is enough to swell with | pride the whole nation, which includes a great and reputable Cook family. Of ceurse, Dr. Cook did not bring the pole home with him for he found it grouted too firm and deep to pull up. He simply mounted the American flag upon it and shouted “hurrah!” to the wonder of the esquimos who were with him. The news must be a severe shock to Wellman for Dr. Cook’s dash for the pole has made any further dashes unnecessary, so the new halloon for the enlarged shed at Tromsoe may dash for Washington instead. The advantage of the discovery is best stated by Dr. Cook who in a let- ter to the Beston Globe unine years ago said: “The great advantage to be derived frem the discovery of the pole is the elearing up of the mystery which sur- reunds the polar regions. The aim of modern polar effort is to gather infor- mation to understand better the con- ditions of the earth, not only within the arctic circle, but at the equator ., or in our own locality as well “The sand of Long Island and the boulders of New Jersey cannot be well understood until we study the mor- aines of the polar glaciers. In meter- ology there are various problems which are hidden by the hand of nature be- hind the iey pelar walls. - cannot hope to find the origin and destiny of storms and cold waves and a hundred other weather peculiari- tles until te atmospheric conditions, the terrestrial topography and the in- terchange of air and sea currents are carefully noted at the pales. “In geology and meteorelegy there ig much to be gained by a continuation of polar exploration. The keys which will open the doors of new chapters are lost in the polar snows; the search will be ;llflcln; but we must persist in look- ng. “What is true of geology and meteor._ ology and magnetism is equally true of all the other departments of science. ‘The polar flora and fauna have an all- important bearing upom the early life of the globe. If we would understand the life following the glacial period we must go to the poles to study the pen- guin, the geal, the muyskox, the ice bear, the reindeer and the whale. If we will gain a true knowledgze of prim- itfve man we must seek the Eskimo, whe is just emerging from the steme age.” Dr. Cook »as become first of Ameri- can explor:rs and breught great honer to himeelf and his country. NOR IN CONNECTICUT. An exchange commenting on the formation of a Maine club in California says it would be difficult to organize a Californian club in Maine. We are not so sure about that. If all the Maine people who have lived in Cali- fornia for a considerable length of time were 10 organize a club it would present 4 mcmbership of goodly num- ‘bers. 0 means all of the people ine Tree state who have cilmate of the land of sun- shine were willing to exchange their old home state for that one as a land of steady residence.—Portland Express. If all the New Englanders who have taken a hand in the settlement and advancement of California now in the New England states should stand up to be ccunied they might themselves be surprised. There must be quite a Jot of the original forty-niners; and there are lots of people who have spent a year or two there earning a liveli- hood in all the New England states. California clubs of good size could be formed in the largest states. Sure, Connecticut could round up a club that California might be proud of. ¢ THE BRYAN FURNITURE. It is pleasing to learn that William Jennings Bryan is the pioneer in something practical, and that his good judgment and foresight is likely to benefit Texas directly and a great many people indirectly. During one of his visits to Texag he bought a tract of wooded land com- prising 180 acres near Misslon, in the Lone Star state. He had a small part of it cleared a few months ago and the larger mesquite and ebony log wood he kept from being cut up into cordwood and railroad ties. He ship- ped a.carload of these logs to a fur- niture factory in Michigan and it has ‘been made up inte sets of household furniture. These pieces of furniture are said to be superior to anything in their line ever made out of native wood in this country. “ This 12aves no doubt that Col. Bryan is a wid» awake business man and has led the way to better days for the Texas timber growers—he has made chairs anc tables and bureaus grow where only cord wood and railroad ties grew before. THE WRIGHTS' GREAT SERVICE. It appears to be highly creditable to the Wright Brothers that they leave aeroplane racing to others and apply themselves to bringing to the highest point of safety and efficiency the aero- planes of their invention. oy One of the things said to have been satisfactorily demonstrated at Rheims is that the way of the flying machines was easily learned and it took bhut a little while for “fledglings” to learn to fly, and that these machines respond readily to inexperienced hands when the weather is favorable—in fact are as easy to handle as a 30-horsepower touring motor car. The Chicago News is right when it says that “the fact that America won the speed contest is nct particularly important. The Wright brothers, lab~ oring with cold efficiency to make the aeroplane a thoroughly dependable machine, by discovering new ways to protect its equilibrium and otherwise to increase its safety, are doing far more to make flying a lasting success than all the racing motors thus far devised.” For quality, speed and safety the American machines must stand first; and this is of the first importance te all concerned.

Did they g0 to bed at 8, too?” Miss Tucket laughed as she extract- ed a handful of hairpins. “You bet they did,” she answered. “They was my kind brothers, and ma was with us, so they wasn't any chasin’ round nights. Ma brought her young- "sters up on the go-to-bed-early plan. Honest, I didn’t hardly know how it loked out on the strvet after dark till I was 14 goin’ on 15.” Miss Drummonud pursed her lips. “T'd 'a’ called it a misdeal if they'd hand- ed me one of them kind of mas,” she said. “\Well, I'm satisfied,” responded Miss Tucket, happily “They wasn't noth- in’ to beat mine in the pack she come out of.” Miss Drummond moved away to her desk and Miss Tucket turned to the others. “Talkin’ about ma,” she went on, “if we didn't have the dandiest joke on ma. You see, this wvacation I just made up my mind I wasn't goin’ a step ma'd go with.me, You know out of the city a litle way and she ain't even been to Chicago more'n half a Jozen times in the last two years. “Well, just as quick as we settled on where we was goin’ to ma begun having a fit of fear we'd miss the boat. She's everlastin’ly and forever preachun’ about bein’ on time. Hon- est, she's wias'cd mere time gettin’ o places and then waitin' for folks that was late than I ever have runnin’ on a schedule that never catches up within ten minutes of itself. “‘Punctuality is the thief of time, ma,’ I says. But ma never could see it that way till this trip. “You se>, she had it all fixed like this. She was goin’ to have a hack come and take her to the station with the suitcases and all and then she was goin’ to send the hack back for me and the kids. She thought she’'d like to have a little time to set and rest at the station before the train come. Ma is fat, you know, and little Maudie's gettin’ there. The train wasn't due to ®o till 7, but about 5 o'clock ma had us all eut of bed and by half past 6 we was all settin’ round with our hats and our company manners on. “Well, pretty soon the hack come and ma climbed in and piled the suit- cases and lunch boxes and one thing and another around her and then she says to me, ‘Now, Maude,’ she | says, ‘don’t you dare 4niss that 7 o'clock ‘train. I'll send the hack right back and you and the kids must get in and start the minute it comes.’ “+All right, ma,’ I says, Tl set on the steps and keep holt of both the kids every minute till we start.” “Well, the hack come back after awhile and we got in and drove off, but when we was within hearin’ dis- tance I heard a train comin’. ‘Land o liberty!" I says to the ww that wae driyin’. ‘If yem don't get us on that train ma’ll kill me. There won’t be enough left for sou- venirs for my lovin’ fri-n1s.”’ “The driver whipped up the old horse and he went gallopin’ up to the train just @s it was pullin’ out. I dragged the iids acrost the pla:torm and by boosting one of 'em up in front of me and haulin’ the other one up by his collar we landed. [ was puffin’ to beat the band, but when I kinda come to I started to look for ma. I walked clean through from one end of the train to the other, but there was never a sign of her. “Finally I asked the coiductor if he had seen a real stout lady in any of the coaches. He said no, he hadn’t, but he did happen to notice one settin’ on the platform as the train pulled out of our station. “Say, I pretty near fainted dead away. ‘Gee whinnaker” I says. ‘Did she look like she was sick?” “‘No,’ he says, ‘she looked all right. She was just settin' there perfectly ca'm and I suspicioned she was waitin’ for the 7 o/clock train for some reason or another.’ I pretty near busted when he said that. ‘Ain’t this the 7 o'clock train?’ I hollered. “*No,” he says, ‘this is the 6.55. We don't make no stogs till we get to Chi- cago.’ “When we got to town I ’phoned back to the station agent—he's a real good friend of mine—and asked him if ma was still settin’ on the platform. He says ves, she was, lookin’ mad- der'n anything he'd seen in a blue meon. “Well’ I says, ‘vou go and pitch her on te the next traiy for the city and we'll meet ner at the station.’ “He said he didn’t hardly dare to speak to her for fear she’d stick a batpin inte Lim, but finally he went and did it. “Well, as soon as I seen ma come steppin’ out of the train I began to laugh. “‘Oh, vou, punctuaht\" I says. And then I laughed again. “The kids looked kinda scared at first, not bein’ used to seein’ ma look mad_but pretty soon they begun to laugh, too, and after awhile ma laugh- ed herself. “Well, Maude, ma says, T guess after all there's such a thing as bein’ too punctual, but I never expected you to be it’ “Of course we'd missed the boat,” concluded Miss Tucket, “but we just checked our stuff and floafed around downtown till it was time for the night boat, and I don’t know if we didint have more fun that day than we did afterward, You see, when ma got over her mad she was all for havin’' a good time, and they ain’t nobody any better company than ma when she really gets goin’."—Chicago News. WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. The “War Game” Worthless. The end of the war game for the capture of Boston brought a very in- teresting situation. The attackin forces under the command of General Bliss had succeeded in passing the left ( flank of the army of defense under General Pew and had a clear road open to march to Boston. For this reason eGneral Bliss claics that the capture of the city ought to be award- ed to him by the umpires. It is inter- esting to remember that the strategic situation was exaetly the same as that | of the armies of General Lee and Gen- eral Meade before the battle of Get- tyshurg. General Lee had passed the Union army and was actfally further north than Meade. If therefore it should be decided by the umpires that General Bliss captured Boston, they would be saying General Lee was a victor '‘because he got to a point north of the Union army. In the battle of Gettysburg the Union forces actually occupied the southerly position; but the brilliant military geniug of Gen- eral Lee showed him that he was obliged to make the attack even though he had a clear road to Harrisburg and the north. The Massachusetts war game was defective in that the attacking force paid little attention to guarding its flanks or maintaining connection with its ports of landing. Again the army of defense in real war has the choice of position, and this constitutes a large part of its strength. The location chosen for the recent war game did not offer the best defense in the Blue Hill range and the Neposet swamp un- equalled in this country except by the natural impregmable position of Richmond, Va. Only two roads pass through the hills and only three cross the swamp. A small army with artil- lery could easily defend this line against a force four times as large. General Bliss had not even approach- ed this line of defense, which would be certain to be occupied in a real war. The men engaged in the recent war game had some practice in march- ing and in handling their guns, but as for giving any light on the probable result of an attack on Boston by a real enemy, the manoeuvres were entirely | worthless.—Boeton Watchman. “John,” said his wife, “you must take things easler in this hot weath- er.
