In the First di trict the polls close at 3 o'clock. With the important issues before the peo- ple it will take stéady work to zet the full vote in. The ballot promises to be unusually large on account of the lleense and school questions which are presented for decision. THREE IMPORTANT ISSUES. The three important Issues to decided on Monday are these: Shall the town stand for license or no-license? If It stands for no-license there will in future be but cne license tssued to every 500 of the population; and licenses cannot be renewed in any bullding within 200 feet of a meeting house. A vote for license keeps con- ditions exactly as they have been. Shall the school districts of the town be abolished and a consolidated school system under the control of the town be inaugurated in July next as pre- scribed by law should the ballot be favorable. Shall the town buy text books in future for free distribution among the puplls, and also gratultiously distrib- wute for use the regular school supplies. be These are questions which should interest every voter and call out a large vote. They are too important to be left for decision to a minority of our cit- izens, | MEN OF EFFICENCY. The republicans, in renominating the entire town ticket, with one ex- ception, have rewarded mer a showed their faith in éxperience. men who have conducted jublic a fairs well arc the men to conduct them well. The nomination of ¥. H. Foss for school visitor was something of a sur- prise to the friends of Mr. Maples, but it has to be conceded that the new candidate lacks no qualification for the place and his capability is unquestioned. Mr. Maples has held the position for many years, and his fidelity and up-to-dative-ness are mnot likely to excelled. The continuance of Messrs. Lathrop end Beckwith in the selectmen’s of- fice carries with it assurance of faith- ful and economical management® of town aftairs; and the renomination of Town Clerk and Treasurer Charles S. Holbrook and Collector Thomas A. Robinson by both parties, with dem- ocratic afirmations that they repre- sent the highest efficiency, tells for the non-partisan spirit and good judg- ment of all the citizens. Norwich on Monday will re-elect the men who have so well served the peo- ple. OTIS LIBRARY AID. dt is time that the Otis library aid appropriation was made a regular es- timate Instead of a side issue. There s no other appropriation which di- rectly benefits more citizens. A 1li- trary like this i the poor boy's uni- versity as well as every reading man’s source of progress and mental enter- nlnmtnl. As an auxiliary to our grad- public schoel system, it is not only an aid to puptls in the pursuance of their studies, but it ls laying a foundation—increasing a taste for lit- erature among the young which will tell later on for well {nformed and orderly citizenship, This institution 5 not only constantly growing, but it will open the way for something greater and better by and by, While libraries are founded upon private gits oftener than upon public enter- prise, it is apparent to those who use them and profit by them that the men who found them are usually men who have learned of their value by the use of other libraries, and who know that there is no tax which can re- TRUE-BLUE BUTTONS. When chivalry was recognized as nearly dead in St. Louis #nd about ready for burial, a citizen got the idea that it might be revived by ar- tificial means, so he brought out the “true-blue button,” which says to any lady who enters a crowded trolley car that the wearer alway surren- ders hjs seat to ladies. The blue-but- ton man says, “To me it Is shameful to ses men holding seats in street cars while women are required to hang on straps. It is not fair; it is not manly. I believe that if a man will wear one of true-blue buttons for a week he will become fixed in old-fashioned chivalry toward women.” I bouts ch Iry is something th is only a sample of left here and there, and a blue-button club would be a credit to the male popula- tion and a pleasure to the women who hang on the straps and say nothing. it is usually the older men who rise in crowded cars to give women their seats. The cld way is worth reviving. A FAILURE OF THE PUMPKIN CROP. A part of Pennsylvania is in distress and doubtless the men and the maids of at least three counties arc sad-eved for the apple and the pumpkin crop is shert and scrapple is not plenty but commands seven cents a pound when heretofore it has cost only four; and what is serappl Bartlett's Dictoin- ary of Americanisms defines it as equal parts of buckwheat flour and wheat flour boiled in the liquid pro- duced in making “head cheese,” and used as hasty pudding after colling, which indicates that it must be some- thing very appetizing. The Phila- delphia Times bemoans these short- ages as follow 1f it was‘merely a question of price, of seven cents a pound for scrapple when i ought to be plentiful at four ents; if it was a question of ‘punkins’ at twenty-two cents—yes, or a dollar apiece—it might not be so hard, but there’s a shortage In the suppiy—the scrapple’s not enough to go 'round and the “punkin’ crop in Berks, Lancaster and Montgomery counties together fsn't sufficient to cover quarter the lemand. In addition, there is no ap- ple butter for folks outside the famil mince pies will not get near enough to the Philadelphia market to move temperance friends to prote a sad day in Pennsylvania ks, If it Is a glad day for T.

The con- ceit that we are self made is a halluci- nation, for there are so many contrib- utive sources for the making of a real man that no one can take unto himselt full credit. A sensible mother can start her hoys right from a hovel while a senseless one puts a blight upon hers in a palace. The seed of enduring manhood lies in loyalty to abiding principles and the industrial habits which produce joy from labor and annihilate dull care. Experience is the teacher of the man of the world and hard knocks his leavening exercise. He meets conditions and overcomes them, and is rounded out by the inci- dents of life, not by his assumptions. The.man who boasts of being self made is_blind to the developing processes which tell for manhood and for attain- ment. It is about time to order the crocuses for spring blooming—the cold weather bulbs whish give us bright flowers be- fore the snow is gone; and we asso- ciate these flowers with cold weather oftener than, with warm, although of the twelve varieties known at least six are autumn ploomers, and one, the long styled crocus; flowers in midsummer, turning up a pale rose bloom. These autumn crocuses which should be in bloom now are white and yellow and blue and pearl and violet and are found on European mountains farther rom the snow that the spring bloom- ing tribes in the zone which climatical-, Iy resembles September and October instead of mild February and late March. And this accounts for the dif- ference in their blooming habits. The little pale rose Persian is a solitary that got Jost in the hot sandy places and responds to high instead of low temperature. The Mediterranean ero- cus is pale violet, and sweet scented and it i3 represented in the saffron of commerce. These are interesting flow- grs—the mountain zone rangers of Calabria, of Greece and the Caucasus and elsewhers A good many years ago T used to hear a good parson preach who waked up the Imagination of his hearers if they had any. He used to talk a great deal about the beauties of nature and tell us how Godysent down his angels to color the flowers—to put the bloom upon the plum and the blush upon the peach, and being somewhat afraid I was not qualified to make that kind of angel, 1 used to hope I should be one to sit upon a cloud and hold a harp as 1 had seen them do in pic- tures, We did not know much about crystalline surfaces, the refrac- | tion of light and the changeability of color then as now-—we did not know that color took on brightness or dull- ness according to the light and. the W it played ypon these surfaces, whether they were vegetable or metal- lic, and we used to be filled with won- der over the secret wisdom of the man who preached when it was simply poetic license—beautiful guesses in- stead of substantial facts. Ignorance masquerades as wisdom often in this world without the sham being discov- If we do not think much of the Chi- naman we have to admit that he is bright. The Chinese scholars were making proverbs when our forbears were plodding in the dark, and all natfons have learned much of China because once she was a deader in learning, sclence and invention. Tt doesn't seem as If she ever was, but they were old at studying stars be- they fore we had begun the compass by which ever since found their way across oceans' and explorers their way through woods and over frozen waters to the pole; and they were the inven- tors of gunpowder, which has been so useful to other nations in preying up- invented tors have on onme another, and in partitioning the Chinese empire itself. And cen- turies ago a Chinaman wrote, “To know others is wisdom, ani to know yourself is enlightenment.” We are still payinz too little attention to both. China has played her part in | the affairs of life and it is doubtful if the nations could have got along with- out her A New England preacher recently announced for his rday theme: “Will you have the corners of your mouth turn vp or turn down?” It was not strange that everybody could not interpret ‘his subject, for they did not kiow the turned up corners of the mouth produce the smile that won't come off, while the turned down cor- ners produce the grouch that cannot be hid. How will we work cur stamp of life, to represent good nature or ill nature? That was what he was at, for he was conscious that every man may be “a master of his soul and a cap- | tain of his fate,” if he will get intelli- | gently to work. He wanted to open the eyes of his hearers—to illumine the path and point the way; and the minister who could frame the theme could act as a guide. I will confesd it pleased me and I should not be surprised if a minister who could originate that subject gould paint a flower. ‘We think that we bring our children up honest, of course. We mean to; but do we? When we thake that little one, he it hoy or girl, slide down in the ‘seat to appear less than five, think you he gets a moral object lesson from it? Children often form con- clusions as correctly as adults. Man is given to misrepresentation without a qualm. T sometimes thini that the little_fellow who is given a nickel for himself and a nickel for God, when he goes to Sunday school and loses God's nickel on the way, may be one of these little trained scrooch- ers who know how to appear less than, five to dodge a fare. Those little ones we teach tricks do not need any training of that kind; and don’t you think man would average more honest, if even in juvenility he was devold of these obpect lessons which are so cun- ning that we laugh about them? The presence of ants herding plant lice upon the Glory of Lyons dahlia and zlso upon the seeds of the Mar- | vels of Peru is something entirely new in my garden. them by millions on the stalks of the golden glow and in countless numbers on the geraniums or even upon the | roses. These are black ones, which in- | dicate that they are a different tribe, and there are five generations in a season and every female has a hundred born to her, for they do not lay eggs like most insects. The brood in the | epring is the only one that has any males, and this brood of males fer- tilize these successive generations of females, They exude honey dew upon |the leaves and the ants accompany as herding the aphides as man herds cows. Tt is a pretty imaginative pic- ture, but it is doubtful if they do it in the same intelligent way. Now that Halley’s comet is in sight of the telescopes it may be well to consider these messengers of the sky which have terrified the people in the past and which will continue to puz- zle them in the future.

He selected a rubber+band and deftly snapped it at the left ear of Dayid, who sat with his head bent over the letter bogk he was indexing. “Aw, cut it out!” protested Davidy scowling and ‘rubbing the Injured member. “Didn’t hurt you, did it?” said Ches- ter, with a grin. “Say, Dave, remem- ber that souvenir postal you sent me when yvou was over in Michigan? That one where you and a bunch o' other guys was sittin’ in a ottomobile?” “Uh-huh. What uv it?” Dave spoke with some languor, for he was feeling the reaction from a too-strenuous va- cation. “I showed it to a girl up In our block,” replied Chester, “and she says, ‘Who is that good-lookin’ feller that's grabbin’, onto the steerin’ wheel? she says. Aw, fudge!” exclaimed David. He seized his pen and applied himself to his indexing, his nose almost touch- ing the page of the letter Lool “On the level, that's just what she said. I says to her, ‘That's the kid that sent the card,’ I says. ‘He's my assistant.’ ‘He's some classy lookin'’ she says, ‘To look at him you'd think he was the guy that owned the machine,’ she says.” Aw, go chase yourself,” muttered David, flipping over the leaves of the letter book. ‘She did, honest,” declared Chester. e's a dandy girl, too.” “Must be kinder foolish in her head,” commented David. “All right, I'll tell her you said she was foolish remarked Chester. “I'm going up there tonight. She's going to have the hull crowd over to listen to her uncle’s graphophone. He's got a swell one.” “Tell nothin’!” exclaimed David. “Don’t you go and tell her anything T said.

The pe- riod of the great comet which the observers of 1844 made a note of, is thought to be 100,000 vears, and it is due to reappear in the year 101,844, and it is probable that the old earth and its people will be here to greet it, although some religious fanatics are constantly expecting the end of the earth on certain dates. It is a pity that most of man’s early life is spent in learning thines he has to unlearn later on. When we become mature we look back, con- scious of how little our early instruc- tors knew. They did the best they could with the light they had, but we absorbed thelr errors and have spent a deal of time In correcting them. Quite a number of positive facts of years ago have nothing now to rest on. This is true of science, and of religion. We think that we are doing better now, but_it is not so apparent that we are. Every generation has it is wiser than the generation which preceded it; but ev- ery new generation looks back upon old-fashioned folks who did the best they knew. The blind lead the blind a good deal on this earth, and It is such a constant thing that it seems a conceit that T almost to have become the fashion. S0 mwany contradictions are labeled “the truth“ that life looks often to a sharp observer like a rummage sale. “Needn't get so sore about it,” said Chester, turning to thrust a plug in hole in the switchboard. “Hello!” he drawled. “Oh, hello, there,” in a tone of suddenly awakened Interest. “Huh! Sure I know who you are. Say. Kit, I just been telling Dave what you said about him, and he says——" “Here,” interrupted David. “You shut He says you're—"" David sprang up and put his hand over the mouthpiece. “Aw, chop it now, kid,” he cried angrily. “I'ain’t going to tell ker,” chuckled Chester. He pushed away the inter- posed hand. “Say, Kit, he won't lem- me tell you what he said. He's 'fraid ter. Huh? All right, I'll tell him. Huh? Well’ I'll try to make him. He'l go: an awful grouch against girls, though. Huh? _All right. See you this eve. Good-bye.” He turned again to the irate David. “Say, Dave,” he sald, “she wants I should bring you over to her house this evening with the rest of the bunch. I told her you was awful grouchy, though.” “Yes, T heard you,” growled David. “You got a right to keep your mouth shut about me. I bet I won't go after what you said “Aw, come on, Dave,” urged Chester. “T was just joshin’. We'll have a dandy time. Come on, now.” “You'll frame up some kind of a fake story about me if I don't go” said David, with an effort at gloomy resignation. “What_time'll you cail fer me?"—Chicago New SUNDAY MORNING ‘TALK. THINGS VERSUS THE SOUL. Is there any necessary antagonism between material things and the life of the spirit? Sometimes theology hes created such an opposiiton and men have thought they could build up character and obtain a high seat.in heaven by starving the body and knifing all the innocent longings of the heart for pleasure. But Jesus came eating and drinking, and once after he was raised from the dead he stood one morning on the shore of a lake watching His disciples a little_way from land, in their fishing boat. Whs was His first remark to them? Did He send across the water some won- derful word about the new and tran- scendent life on which He had en- tered? No; He simply called out: “Children, have you had your break- fast? The body, the palate and the aesthetic sensibilities have their pron- er recognition in any large interpre- tation of the Christian gospel, but two points ought to be made just now when the country seems to be enter- ing on a period of the greatest pros perity it has ever known. The first point is that material good often smothers the life of the spirit. For proof you only have to live a few days in a fashionable and expensive summer or winter hotel or watch your rick neighbors and acquaintances who have plenty of money. Noble excep- tions there are, but most people ac- quire money faster than they are able to use it in the interests of the mind or the soul. They can't stand being rich. They grow proud, vain, arro- gant, tyrannical. Their money has mastered them. One of the worst fates that can befall a man is to earn or inherit money before he has learned what it can go for and what it can- not do for oné and was never intend- ed to do. It takes a very good person to be a millionaire. There ought to be a school for preparing millionaires for behaving properly. When they have learned how to handle money aright, how to give it away. how to utilize what they keep for themselves s0 that they will be finer and purer men—then, and not till then, ought fortunes. The other point in this double-bar- reled little sernon is that the things of the spirit outlast those of the flesh. To the great railway king, as well as to the humblest brakeman, or any of his line comes the summons sooner or later: “This night is thy soul required of thee.” Worthless, then, is the splen- did mansion in which he had planned to eat and drink and take his ease, At such a summons one wants to be able to give back to his Creator something besides a record for daring and phe- nomenally successful railway develop- ment. If he can render again to his Maker a soul enlarged by prosperity, sweetened by adversity, his piled-up millions will not mock him. But if he has nothing but a starved and stunted little soul to present to the God who gave him a chance to develop all his latent spiritual capacities, then his riches are his ruin, his fame, his in- famy. I will judge no man harshly and ‘without knowledge of the nature of his personal relations to God. But I fear no contradiction when I say that mul- titudes of persons in this country—the poor no less than the rich—have ap- parently forgotten that they have souls to save, not only to fit them for the skies, as the old hymn says, but to make them large and beautiful for the life that now is. In your case which is triumphing, the soul or things? THE PARSON. BRIEF STATE NEWS Wilton,—The republicans have sub- stituted the name of William C.
