It is not 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 be and what they are to wepre- serit. Portraits of the officers and chairmen of committees and the guests of the eity will number a score or two and then there will be photographs of the decorated streets, the parade, the performances and objects of spe- ctal interest, it is expected, will make about 50 pages. Where there are large assemblages of people the pictures will be made large enough te make the {dentification of citizens possible. There are quite a number of these photographs which will be given a full page. It is the purpose of The Bulietin to make shis 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 examination about 200 photo- graphs already, and expects te 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 valwe by Norwich people everywhere.

T * BEHAVIOR. 4 great deal may be judged by be- kpvior. amd in the controversy over e nwwits of the discoverers of th: Mesth pole it will count for much in @ffecting public opinion. The fact is now patent that Com- mander Peary knew that Dr. Cook clalmed that he had reached the pole before he communicated with civiliza- tion, for he says he talked with the Eskimos, and they told him Dr. Cook had not been far from land, and, in view of this knowledge and the free- dom with which he brands Dr. Cook an fmpostor, it is apparent enough that if the averments credited to the commander are really his, he was ter- ribly excited and somewhat rattled by the news. From the forewords it looks ag if Commander Peary had concluded to wust Dr. Cook at once and without the formality of a hear- ing, for he telegraphed to every cive ilized country that he was the discov- erer ¢f the pole, and that Dr. Cook had not been there. V/bere these men have been or whether they are truthful or not dees not depend upon what a brace of Fs- Limes sey, or what they themselves may screech with all their lung pow- er. They each have the record of their movements and the data collected from day to day and these will give significance to their claims. Commander Peary should be more careful of his claims—he couldn’t nail the flag to a geographical North pole or bring the pole home with him. The Eskimos are not his, any more than any guide is the property of the guided. Guides are free in civiliza- tion and beyond it to lead any one able and adventurous enough to em- ploy them. While Commander Peary is preparing for a war of words, Dr. Cook is conducting himself in the mest dighified way. He appears to be conscious that the honor he claims cannot be wrested from him. We hope that he will have the perfect self-eontrol which his conduct thus far betokens. If Pr. Cook is an impostor the world will find it out without a scandalous brawl, but it cannot find it out by ly- ing about him and declning to give him the consideration and scientific hearing which he has a right te de- mand. The tramp of sense has the migrat- ing habit, for he knows that the sunny south is a place of more fresdom than the jail in the frosty days eof winter. Commander Peary says: “We own the North pole!” Great Britain opines that the Nerth pole is in Canada’s backyard. =~ What difference does it male, anyway? The gentleman who wrote us abouwt “The Ant and the Tru-ant” is re- spectfully infosmed that mixed en- tomeology is net of pepular interest enough to warramt its use. of courtesy, rural folk were just as friendly as they ever were, For the hostile attitude the motorists meet with they have themselves to blame. “In the days befors the automobile there was an etiquette of the road. It certair}y exists yet among horsemen, It was not sportsmanship to attempt to force your dust upon others who were driving. A pedestrian obtained some consideration. He was not made to leap to escape flying wheels, eom- pelled to swallow clouds of dust, and held in the light of a butt for every- body’s practical joking. Teo run down chickens and pigs was the last thing a horseman ever thought of. And te sneer at the farmer, to consider his orchard public property and his rights to a part of the road unworthy of thought were unforgivable impropri- eties. With the coming of the auto- mobiles these unwritten courtesies have largely gone by the beard” There it is in a nutshe'l.. To the gentle and humane, the sweet-spirited and polite, country people are just as respectful and true as ever, but to the conceited lunkheads, lubbers, brutes and incompetents, it is sassy, by gosh, and it’s bound to be. PREPARING TO RECEIVE THE PRESIDENT. The great western circuit the presi- dent has mapped out for himself to travel in the next two months is awake to the future promise and is ®etting its ears ready to hear what the president has to say not only to the American publie, but to soothe the disgruntled factions in the far west and in this journey of 13,000 miles a great many pertinent and imperti- nent questions may be asked of Mr. Taft. Here is what a Wisconsin paper is heping to find out: “What does the president think abeut Mr. Ballinger as cempared to Mr. Pincho what is the percentage of the late ‘revision downward'; what are the advantages of a policy of co- operation with Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Cannon; what has been done for labor by the secretary of commeraqf and labor; what was the reasom for re- opening the deped whiskey contest; what are the chances for the conser- vation policies; what has bern done by Mr.. Wickersham with the cases agalnst the beef trust; what was the reason for abandoning the case against the New England rallway conseolida- tion; what are the chances for a crim- inal trust prosecution; what is being done to check the water power trust; what Wall street thinks of the cabi- net; what the president thinkr; of con- gress; what is the prospect for a new progressive party; what is the date of Roosevelt’s return; what—when that return takes place—he will say to Roosevelt, and what Roosevelt will say to him.” These things are not just what Pres- ident Taft is expecting to talk about, but with his genius and aptitude for meeting all kinds of inquiries there is no reason to doubt his ability to just delight his hearers upon any one or all of these themes, He is no dodger. A SUNSHINY CONDUCTOR. We all kuow that most conductors, notwithstanding their trlals and ag- gravations, are gentlemen, but it is not often we see one full of sunshine when his car is full of passengers and his time limited, so it is not surpris- ing that “A Traveler,” upcn discov- ering such a one on the Shore line road found it necessary to tell the reading public about him through the columns of the Providence Journal This is what he had to say: “Most of the New Haven trainmen are polite enough, but you do not al- ways encounter an employe who seéms glad to help you in your quest for in- formatdon. More than once I have gone without, rather than run the risk of an over-crisp reply. “Of course there is another side; some passengers are simply querulous, others ask fool questions, and some, T suppose, are ‘fresh,’ but it cdoes seem as if conduetors and trainmen could adopt a certain stereotyped form of courtesy, if nothing better, so that ne intelligent gnd reasonable passenger need be deterred from putting a nec- essary query. “There comes to mind another con- ductor who is at once dignified, effi- cient and approachable. Nobody fa- miliar with his methods would ever think of abusing his kindness by ask- ing him a lot of questions, especially when he was obviously busy, and yet I am sure he would answer as best he could under any conditions. “The other day I saw him jump from his train at a station, and run to where a train bound in the oppo- site direction was standing, to hold it for a lady on board of his train who would be seriously discommoded if she did ot make the connection. The re- sult was that, by putting himself out a little, she was saved a delay of sev- eral hours and a long and expensive crosg-country ride. I said to him, ‘That was a mighty nice thing for you to do’ ‘It was worth while' he _quietly replied, ‘it saved the lady a good deal of trouble.’ “After all, the true test of efficiency comes pretty near to being this: Is the employe anxious te do his best, or is he thinking only of his pay enve- lope, and the unkind fate that has not placed him in a higher positior.?” These eonductors deserve good words, of which they receive too few. The men who are up against the pub- lic every hour come pretty near know- ing what & crown of thorus is, and te be polite and ohliging and sunshiny through it all requires fine personal control by which is implied every oth- er good quality. May their class in- crease and their reward be eertain. EDITORIAL NOTES. The world naturally asks what Wa]- ter Wellman will give his attention to next, to keep in the limelight. Chicago has another illustration of how easy it is for a pretty woman swindler to get away with the men. Things are balanced now—picture hats droop in front and the wallet of the head of the house droops behind. The reading public is new very anx- feus to know just what Dooley thinks about the disceverers of the North pole. o The ayster cocktall has net yet heen debarred from sale in the prehibition “Don’t lose yvour job on my account,” replied the trim-looking mald. *“I don’t pay for the ice, you know. Only I hate to see you skinning the folks to death day after day.” The iceman sadly lifted the piece in- :o the refrigerator and gently laid it own. “Say, If you knew what ice cost you wouldn’t talk like that,” he said. “But I don’t care what it costs—you'll get yours, all vight. If it was $5 a hun- dred pounds I'd slip you the regular size chunk for your little old coupo: v day, Maggie. Don’t forget that. Maggie!" snapped the maid. “Who told you to call me Maggie?

Hang- in' around down at the big vellow Youse, you mean? Oh, no, you've got me wrong. I haven't any time for that red-headed girl down there—not in a thousand years. Why, she and me don’t even speak when I deliver the ice there. We had a scrap.” “Did you?”' asked the trim-looking maid, showing faint signs of interest. “I suppose she had to get her work done some time and she ordered you off the place.” “No, but I'll tell you svmething if you can keep it to vourself,” said the iceman. ‘Tl put you next why you see me hangin’ around there once in a states, although some folks think that it should be. The tanned face now stands for the automobilists as well as for the va- cationis nd tan has ceased to be a spacifie sign. Attention is called to the fact that the bathing bug that bites the beau- ties of Newport is not a creation of the scientists. Jt is recognized that the little red school house has mothered more pres. idents than “Old Virginny” has, if less is said about it. The aeroplane hat is coming in ahead of the Christmas presents this year. This looks like stringent times when the gifts are in line. It appears that Peary shared in the opinion that Dr. Cook was dead, and was bhoping to write respectfully of him, if it hadn’t been for this. Dr. Cook spent two days at the pole to Peary’s one, according to his notes, and should have twice as much knowl- edge of its relation to the stars! Those who want to know where Dr. Cook was a whole year before report- ing, seem to forget that the communi- cations with the North pole are irreg- ular, and the walking poor. Rhode Island has a new law which closes the saloons on holidays, and the result in Providence was not half the arrests as formerly on Labor day for drunkenness. Happy thought for today: Some people make mere trouble than a whole neighborhood ecan endure; and some borrow more trouble than the whole family can take care of.

I was just tryin’ to square myself with you,” “Fave your breath” suggested the housemaid. “Say, haven’t you got any more places on your route today?” “Well, there may be some people waitin’ for ice along the line,” admit- ted the iceman, “but when I get here I always forget about 'em.

But whenever 1 see your ice card up I'll know you're lonesome and I'll drop in.” “Don’t worry about me,” said the maid as a parting shot. “Send in that partner of yours next time.

When Dr. Cook spoke of the sun swinging across the heavens he wished to impress on his readers one of the most peculiar phenomena of the Polar regions. At a point far north ¢he sun is not blotted from the sight as the earth rotates. For twelve hours it seems to pass from east to west, as it does here, but at the moment when the sun should set it appears to move back from the west to the east, this appearance being caused by the fact that the spectators on the rotating earth is moving in an opposie direc- tion. The same effect would be pro- duced in this latitude were it not that the earth gets between us and the sun and blots it out., In other words, In the Polar regions the sun has a motion mimilar to that of a pendulum, swing- ing back and forth. This phenomenon ceases when the spectator is at the Pole itself, and could have been used by the explorer to determine the fact that he was at the Pole.~Charleston News and Courier.
