DREN. 1t is reported that one playhouse manager has quletly drawn the line upon_ the age of children who are to be permitted to attend his shows un- attended by older persons. Thé small child alone In an amusement house, or in company with other young chil- dren is a detriment rather than a help. They romp about the hall and are unnecessarily noisy unless curbed by the management, they are in in- defensible peril In moving picture shows where an accidental fire is pos- sible at any time, and they really de- crease the patronage of adults where too much freedom is allowed them. No careful parent would trust children under five to go to vaudeville and moving picturs shows, for the impres- slons recelved there are not to be commended and they may sadly affect the whole future of a child. The amusement season is on and the manager who gives attention to this subject is likely to reap the greatest income, for the clatter and hoydenish ways of small boys are a nuisance to patrons who enjoy good order and quietness. UNIFORMITV OF LAWS. There is no doubt that uniformity in state law In various directions would tell for the protection and welfare of the people. The Chicago News says that “the state legislatures throughout the country are to be asked to pass two new bills approved by the com- missioners on uniform state laws In the recent annual session of their na- tional conference. One of the meas- ures seeks to make uniform the law on bills of lading. The other relates to transfers of title to shares of stock in corporations. “This national conference, in which forty-one commonwealths now are of- ficlally represented, is making substan- tial progress in the promotion of wuni- formity in state laws. On account of competition among business men of different states there'is great need for uniformity in mercantile law. In re- cent years the uniform-law commis- sioners have devoted their attention in large part to commercial matters. Their negotiable-instruments bill has been made law In thirty-eight states and territories, their warehouse-re- ceipts bill in eighteen and their sales bill in six.” Along social lines the progress is slower, but encouraging. For instance, eight states have uniform divorce laws and at this year's meeting the com- “hissioners received from their com- sittee on marriage and divorce first drafts of bills on licenses to marry and on desertion of families. - These drafts, together with information from soclologists on marriage and desertion and digests of the laws on these sub- Jects in other countries, have been printed and are belng circulated for criticism and suggestion. The bills have been made a special order for next year's conference. The good work is moving encour- agingly and the day is coming when uniform laws will govern all the states. Plates go slow in California at $25 a plate, if Taft is going to be the bright particular gourmand on each occaglon.' He prefers to meet the corned beef and cabbage eaters. Happy thought for today: keep the disappointments of day perching around, for today's accomplishments amount to much. Do mot vester- if you do will mot If Pierpont Morgan had succeeded in buying that famous Italian pdlace for five miltions, he might have moved it over to America and set it up as an attraction. It does no good to say that the church needs the man and the man needs the church, for it is up to the church to make the man see that he needs ¥ of goods abroad, which is a nlsn of'| more meoney in circulation and an im- proving ability to indulge the counitry needs. At the single port of Boston the imports ghow an in- crease of nearly seven millions .more than was imported up to the same date Iast year, and a Boston paper say "(‘u the last month the force at the appraisers’ stores has been work- the great rush of packages which come to them for appraisal and exam- ination. “Since the beginning of the year ‘the number of parcels examined in a onth has increased from 7,000 to 9,500. Such a tremendous volume of business has never before gone through the local customs house.” ‘This indicates that the increase at all the custom house ports of the country” will show at the close of the vear a large increase over the busi- ness done last year. There is a noticeable falling off in revenue from reductions made but the inerease of business more than over- balances the loss. e A MEMBER OF~+H! THIRD HOUSE ‘What a member of the Connecticut 16bby has to say of it is always in- teresting, and the Men's ¢lub of the Nortly Haven Congregational chureh was a gond place to sa yit. He puts a higher estimate upon the lobby than the papers do and he apparefitly gards it as a regulator of legislative work which runs true for the welfare of the people, This is what he is re- ported to have said: “My experience I8 that In Connecti- cut the most powerful and effective lobbyists are exceptionally scrupulous and careful as to the character of the schemes which they will favor. T { have personal knowledge of their re- ruslng large offers of money for re- tainers. in many cases because they did not approve of the proposed legis- lation which they were asked to pro- mote. The fact of the matter is, a politiclan who expects to remain in the game never conscientiously acts against the public interests or welfare. I will dény the ‘third house, so-called, r”lobbyists on the legislation of the state, has been other than of great benefit to the state and her citizens. | The watchfulness and influence of the { third House is constantly saving the general assembly from mistakes of greater or less magnitudde, from the fact that towns ! in many instances gend men to the general assembly who are not accustomed to drafting laws that, would in many cases be uncon- stitutional, while the trained politi- clan’s eye is ever watchful for de- fects.” Col. Robert O. Eaton believes every word of this. He regards legislation as a game and believes in third house retainers which, if paid to an editor, would he called a bribe, and he may believe in retainers for lawyers who are members of the general assembly.- No doubt lobbyists have consciences, but they will not stand a standardization test as a general thing. JUST THE SAME. Herbert Parson’s assertion of a deal between Tammany hall,and the up- state republicans, which resulted in sustaining Speaker Cannon, is likely to be made the subject of a con- gressional investigation. Jt is to be hoped that he has avoided the error of the late Congressman Lilley of Connecticut, who asserted more than he could prove.—Boston Transcript. Conneclicut knows what the above means and what is to be expected in such a case, Men know things some- times positively which they cannot prove, and sometimes when they know things they are not permitted to prove what they know. If Congressman Parsons is subjected to the tender mercies of Speaker Cannon and his selected examiners there is no doubt what will befall him. THE FASTEST TORPEDO-BOAT DESTROYER. The torpedo-boat destroyer Reid, which will go into commission on the 28th -of October at her standardisation test on Wednesday made 34.548 knots and is the fastest American naval ves- sel of her class, beating her sister- ship, the Flusser, by a mile an hour, and has the highest speed ever made by a naval vessel in the world—the speed of an express train. She entered the course at 6.10 &. m. and made 22 runs before 9 a. m. Conditions were fine and everything worked splendidly on bonrd. She developed a shaft horse- power of a little better than 15,000, being about 1,000 more than was made Dby her sister ship Flusser. The trial was under the direction of Supt. En« gineer ‘Charles P. Weatherbee of the Bath iron works, with Capt. Charles ‘W. Dingiey of Bath as navigating of- ficer. 'This speaks well for the American designers and bullders, and puts America into the front rank for swift work. EDITORIAL NOTES. The new one-hundred-dollar bill may look pretty, but we cannot afford to have one framed. “The greatest ‘fair on earth” is the kind that that is now being held in many states of the union. A Chicago paper says it does not begrudge St. Louis its birthday, for whatever its age is it looks it. The Georgia breakfast which is be- ing prepared for Taft reads like a banquet menu of the Waldorf-Astoria. It does not appear to be any easier to emancipate the white slaves from human traffic than it was the black ones. If a man's clothes were pocketles: he would not be troubled by pick- pockets any more than the average woman. It has been discovered that the pearl necklaces which cost a fortune have their time to die. That'’s when they lose their luster. Explorer Baldwin is booked to take a four years' drift over the pole to see what there is in the polar ocean worth bringing home. Do the lepahs on the Bast Main street Brick pavement look as if they were done to the satisfaction of the street commissfoner?

Her family thought she was in luck to get married at all, for Sally was as thin and starved looking as the farm and irremediably homely. There are some kinds of uglin that fascinate, but not Sally's kind. Hers was the pitiful homeliness of washed out colorifig, scanty, pale hair and stooped should- ers. Blenn Sprankle was not much of & man, but then, as Sally’s mother had asked amazingly when Sally appeared to hesitate about taking him, what on earth did a girl as unattractive as Sally expect anyhow? Sally's mother had nine in the family and if Sally married that would be one less, So Sally married Blenn, transferred her scrubbing, baking, sweeping, milk- ing, potato pearing and all-around drudgery from her parents’ home to Blenn's. The change scarcély made a ripple in her dun life. Her only & pation was plecing quilts, and guiltily felt that to induige in it was an awful waste of time. But the col- ored bits of calico and gingham and their possibilities charmed her. She rioted in new designs, was thrilled by odd patterns. In short piecing a quilt gave Sally Sprankle as much pleasure and mental profit as a trip to Europe or a course of symphony concerts might afford another woman. Once she had timidly asked her hus- band to admire an especially brilliant block of patchwork. He did not eéven notice that her usually dull eyes were alight with interest as she held up the quilt. He had plowed a big fleld that day and was dog tired. “Huh!” Blenn had said. “S'pose it'll keeg you jest as warm as any other Xkind,” The first time any one ever really admired her work was when one of the summer cottagers from around the point drove up to buy some fresh eggs. There were quilts on the line. ‘Why, how perfectly lovely!” the summer oottager had cried out. 1 saw such darling old-fashioned before! Do you want to sell ne qui any Sally was clutched with a sudden miserliness. Those quilts meant more than money to her and she would not if she had it, never having been edu- cated in the pleasant task of buying what she wanted. She never hadgwhat she wanted. [“No’'m,” Sally had sald, slowly. “T guegl not. How many eggs did you say?” The next time the summer cottager came she regarded Sally enthusiasti- cally. ‘T've thought of something” she said. “Why don’'t you exhibit some of your quilts at the county fair next month? They give prizes, you know, and yon might get the big one ~it's §5. Just show them, you know!” After, that Sally Sprangle dreamed. Tt was not so much the $5 as the glory. It made her gasp to feel the thrill at the thought of being set up above all the other women. For down in Sally’s soul lurked an unsuspected yearning for leadership. She worked all that month late in the evenings long after Blénn was heavily snoring—worked at the quilt. good loser. No one is blaming the Lord for what has happened in Nor- wich and few are blaming Satan. A Virginian received $450 as a pre- mium upon ten ears of wonderful corn he had grown. This shows that skill and patience are sometimes rewarded. Some men continue to be happy as long as they feel sure that they have one good leg under them. They are not crutchless, but they are grouch- less. WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. Voting Machines. As to the operation of the voting machines which were used for the first time on Monday in that city, the New Haver Palladium says: ‘'The voting machines shared in the vietory. They worked successfully and there was no indication that they exesrted any influence agaihst the se— crecy or character «f the votes of the citizens, One has only to study the figures of the election to see that the machines did not discourage the splitting of tickets and the so-called scratching was as much, apparently, in evidence as under the former sys- tme of printed ballots. To be more emphatic in xyrm-l this we refer to the election emocrats to three impot'tant city ofl'lcea ih face of a gen- eral republican victory. Noask’s Longevity. Out ‘of a population of only 1,400 sou's, Noank has 20 people who are between the ages - f 80 and 91 and there are 40 between the ages of 70 and 80. Prob- ably no community in the state can | present a better testimonial to condi- | tions of healthfulness, peace and con- tentment. Surely, 80 large a percent- age of aged people owuld hardly be fqund where exasperations and infec- tions abound and where neighborhood affairs are at sixes and sevens. Life insurance companies interested in the subject of longevity might do well to ferret out the secret by fhich so many in Noank are able to defy the rule of “three score and ten,”—Ansonia Sen- tinel. Justified. It must be admitted that some wives are underpaid, as the recent ex- perience of a New Jersey wife re- minds us: The lady and her husband were in court the other day. she claim- | g that he provided nothing but egg- ant for her to eat. He bought a whole basket of them for a nickel, and for two weeks, she averred, it was egg- plant for breakfast, eggplant for din- ner and cggslant for supper. “He loves ‘em,” sald she, “but I just hate | ‘em.” That was why, in the culmina- | tion of her éxasperation, shé used a ' buteher knife on him. Many hus- bands, as well as wives, will hold that | }nht- was justified. A husband ad- | dicted to (he eggplant habit must be a sore trial.—Proovidence Journal. Bungalow Building. One of the noteworthy incidents of the summer now closing is the build- | ing of summer homes and the recogni- | tion of the fact that Bristol hills afford | | health, pleasure, comfort and satisfac- | tion. This is largely due to the auto- | moblle. The picturésque and pleasant hills that afford a wide outlook and | retreshing breezes have - besn here for | some time, but they were not readily accessible to busy people until the auto came, Now places several miles out | are reached in a few minutes and the cares of strenuous life can be left be- hind for a few hours. More bungalow building has been done here the past suinmer than in years, and the pros- pect is that the sensfble movement is to continue.—Eristol Press. England imported from Argentina in 1907 mnearly $21,00.000 worth of fresh best and $11,472,345 worth of fresh mutten. have known what to do with money | W] should combine all the best features of all the quilts she had evw pleced. As Sally toiled on by the kerosene when all the world outside was sunk in sleep and her own eyes blinked with weariness, she was upheld by that un- formed roseate hope which trai formed her life. Hope was ly new to Sally ‘When the quilt was done she hated to let it go from her custody, it wi S0 beautiful. She clutched the bundle to her when she went to town and hunted up the woman in charge of the fancywork section. It was agony to thrust hergelf forward this way—such shy, embarrassed agony that she did not notice the chairman’'s eurious sur- vey of her. The chairman had never heard of the Sprankles, for Sally rare- ly cume to town. But she took the quilt and made the entry. ‘When she and her husband went to the fair Sally remained before he, quilt, where it hung among many oth- ers. The crowd of laughing, conscious young men bumped and jostled her unnoticed.
