The business outlook is good for Norwich, and 1t seems as if we were #ght In the dawn of the greal prosperity Norwich has even known. The: new bulldings and mills which have been contracted for and well un- der way in this place and vicinity in- dicate a considerable increase in thay industris! population and a great ad- dition to the volume of trade. The improvements being made at Taftville and prespect . mean a doubling of the help,_and more than a doubling of the output. The new bank build- ings and new stores which will be completed within six months bespeak the rising of a bigger and.a better business Norwich. Seasons of panic or hard times have y touched Norwich lightly, and the present depression here is not #s severe as has been repre- sented.. The great industries are hold- ing their. complete organized force, ; and even,the Hopkins & Allen Arms Mtg. Co. has more men in its employ and has @ larger payroll than it had & year ago. It has reduced its force something in excess of 100 hands, but 1€ hds ‘not shut down, as respectable rumor spreaders would have the pub- le belleve. Business in Norwich {s full of promise and there is no reason why anyone should feel dis-spirited, Noth- ing has to be imagined here. The preperations for increased manufac- turing and increased trade are appar- ent to all who have eyes to see and ought to be to all who have ears to * hear. A ‘few people may be unfortunate enough to have cold feet; but the bright red blood of enterprise and perseverance—of industrial energy and business hustie—has felt no chill. Norwich is Dilled to take on a new pace in the near future, and is des- tined to make a new lap in the open- ing years of the twentleth century which will be a credit.to the ability aad genius of this live and booming age. THE GROUCH AT CHRISTMAS. In Christmas crowds on the street, in bargain counter crowds in the stores, and once in a while behind the couriter, Mr. or Mrs, or Miss Grouch appears and makes things disagreea- ble for all concerned. And it should be written right here that the Grouch family has more of the hog. than the fuman in their composition and they push and eclbow their way through erowds, demand first attention in the ptores, creating a muss if not disor- der, grumbling about the erowds in the trolley cars, and by their lack of modesty and supreme selfishness, by their innate audacity and inability to see themselves as others wee them, make lifo hideous and a permanently bad reputation for themselves. Sometimes they claim right of way and right of immediate attention be- cause of their superior personality and sometimes for want of time. They are moving quicker than the common horde, if not more important, and must not be delayed in the street or in the ‘stores, If they waquld forget themselves for a minute and think of the meaning of these shopping crowds, they: would. make more progress up ] and down with business and through the streets. What &‘delight to see 'the streets filled to overflowing with “happy womeén! “What a joy to have hundreds of boys ead girls skipping #nd jumping along the streets, shout- ing and laughing and clapping their little hands with delight as the sight of Santa Claus and the thought of the gay Yuletide filling their souls. The Grouches do not -get as much gut of Christmas as most people. It 45 not happiness with them, for they are simply distinguished for their dis- quietude and their ability to annoy others.

As Smith is not a one-ideaed man, this. proposal light of a hobby, has delighted his moments of reflec- tion and graced the ‘social houts. The appeal than it had twenty or thirty years ago. “If union should interest anyone in the United States it should be those who dwell on or near the border.

The two-wheeled automobile is in evidence and is very likely to make an end of the motor-cycle—it certainly will if it makes less noise and gives greater comfort, both of which quali- ties aré claimed for it. Tt is a trim, neat-appearing vehicle, and is made to carry two passengers and has an annex for light parc This,vehi- cle is supported when at a standstill by two runners concealed beneath the footboard which let down automatical- Iy and has a steering post and gear- ing like the automobile. It carries a 12-horse-power engine and is said to make no more noise tham a sewing machine. W. G. Moore, the inventor of this wonderful littie car, has been granted even patents on his novel machine, many of them being on exceedingly clever devices. ~For instance, the wind shield presents a small, convex surface of glass to the wind, oval in shape, -and sufficlently large to pro- tect the driver's face, yet small encugh to be out of the way. It is adjusta- ble and removable, and when in posi- tion on the steering post is not only & convenience but an ornament to the car. The radial frame, rear-wheel sus- pension adds to the comfort of the passenger, while an entirely different system of springs is used on the front wheel. The steering knuckles are also noteworthy, as they not only turn the wheel, but shift the center of gravity, making for easy direction of the ma- chine. This is a good-looking little vehi- cle and it promises to play its part in the future for pleasure or busi- ness. PROGRESSIVE NEWSPAPERS. The Waterbury Evening Democrat on Thursday ceiebrated the 22d an- niversary of its establishment with a 28-page industrial edition. The fact that The Democrat has held its field to itself so long, beside two such ably conducted papers as The Republican and The American, leaves no doubt as to its able conduct and popularity with its party. It takes care of the democratic interests of the city of Waterbury with loyalty and fidelity and 1s always on guard. The Bristol Press this week cele- brates Christmas with a 16-page num- ber which is a credit to the publish- er and editor as well as to that thrifty town. We do not wonder that The Press is popular at home for it is a favorite exchange in newspaper offices. It is alive and just and fair, booms the town wisely, represents it ably, and is all-over as readable as a Kip- ling poem, It is clean and the evi- dence that it is a first-class sdvertis, ing medium it carries on its face. May it ever roll up Its subscription list and continue its good work. EDITORIAL NOTES. The church that has girl ushers has a sure scheme for calling the boys out to meeting.

Doing is effective prayin; What do you suppose is the reason that a larger per cent. of educated women do not marry? -It seems to me that they do not cultivate the con- nublal spirit—they take no stock in the averment that “love goes where it is sent.” but rather count upon “good catches" instead of true lovers. There is too often mercenary design: making—the purse has more to do with it than the heart—scheming for position in the world more than rec- ognizing the way of fidelity and hap- piness. There has, never yet been a particle of trouble 1 which two hearts hay/. beaten as one and four hands have pulled together as a single pair. It is love making by the rank of a family, by the prospects of the young man, by the ideals held dear, by the clack and by the calen- dar ‘that have bred discontent, pau- perism and tragedies. It is no secret that there Is more love in the hovels of this world than in the palaces. Dan Cupid scoffs at schemes and plans and repudiates the idea that “love matches are made in heayen"—he touches the heartspring and the world knows the rest. The young man or woman who i resolved to do well whatever com to hand has got a good start in life. You have not thought that a good start depended upon o small a thing as this, but it does. It is the little things in life which give force to it— it is the small details of work at- tended to which contribute most to success. In such a person’s life it has to be said that one good thing comes after another, instead of “one damn thing follows another.” Faith- fulness in small things marks ability to do even greater things. The signs of efficiency are just as plain as the evidences of inefficiency to an observ- er. It we were mute our daily life would proclaim our quality or lack of it. The person who has the manner of a tumblebug is pointed to the in- dustry of the ant to correct his sloth. To make one's way nothing is better than application and industry, Look- ing for a soft snap is making a hole for one's self.

It is a falr expression of the spirit of greed —get things fairly if you can—but get ’em! It is amusing to read but perilous to practice. Saving a world of trouble in this way for others is sure to make a sea of trouble for ourselves. Scientists tell us that there is a blind spot on the retina of the eye and a blank corner in the brain; that makes some men poor spellers and others poor at arithmetic; but we get marked down,at school for what we can't help just as if we counld help it, There are certain classes of words, certain figures, which the person with a blank corner in the brain cannot spell or multiply. It has been noted that some men have no faculty ior multiplylng_ anything in threes. The schools call these defectives dunces, but they are not. They are mot ali there and never will be.

Some people dread the com- ing of winter and some the coming of summer. Others dread this, that and the other thing. They appear to delight in making & horror of life in- stead of a pienic. It does mot coast any more to entertaln agreeablc thoughts than it does evil foreoui- ings, and make a nightmare of exisi- ence. The worst bug to invade human Jife is the bugbear, and it directs the way to the bughouse. It is as fatal to human life as the tsetse fly is to animal life, The bughear doesn’t c Iy germs, for it is the real germ of discontent and distress, and it Is chronic enough to be fatal—to thos: who have it. To always have a bug- bear is equivalent to eternally being a nuisance. William wants to know what would happen If Halley's comet should strike the earth. We shall have to postpone the answer until the comet has struck the earth, and then, if we are able, we will try to write up the effect upon this sphere; but there is no more dan- ger of a collision than there is of hav- ing a regular line of airships running between this earth and Mars. The sun and jts system of planets are in the -cénter of a great space, we are told; and are as isolated from other systems in space as If it were a lone island In the center of the Pacific ocean. Halley's comet, William, is not coming within hailing distance.

Men and women in many conditions of life assume this same spirit. What matters it about facts 80 long as effects are delightful? SUNDAY MORNING TALK REDEEMING OUR HOLIDAYS. None too soon has the movement taken shape in America toward freeing our splendid holidays from the ele- ments that degrade them and neutral- ize to a large extent their beneficient purpose. They have no part in the original thought of these days and it is only our national tendency to go to extremes that has made improper and injurious use of what would oth- erwise be an unmixed boon. Take for instance, Fuorth of July— the birthday of a great, free. intelli- gent people; Ideally, what & day it is, joyous with sports and festivals, ring- ing with patriotic utterances, given over to public and private celebrat- ing in a dignified, inspiring, profitable and at the same time enjoyable fash- fon. But what Is Fourth of July ac- tually but a jargon of discordant and distressing noises from before day- light until after sunset, a day dread- ed by Invalids, a day on which tl doctors and nurses and fire depar ments redouble their vigilance and re- spond to numerous “hurry calls” a day whose aftermath is tetanus, maim- ed limbs and damaged eyesight. But the movement for a sane Fourth is sweeping on and next year other cities will follow the example of Springfield, Mags., and Cleveland, O. What is Christmas ideally? The holiest, sweetest day of the year, the day of the children, the day of the Holy Child, the day when simple, heartfelt tokens of love are passed from friend to friend, the day when one's largess goes out to the unblessed and upfortunate of the earth, in mem- ory of Him who for our sakes became poor that we through His poverty might be rich. This is what Christ- mas is ideally. But what is Christmas actually and the season antecedent to it? A time of fret and fever, a frantic hunt through department stores to find something for somebedy who doesn't need it, and who doesn’t in his heart of hearts want it a time when thou- sands of shop girls and expressmen and mail carriers go exhausted to their slumbers night after night, a time more than any other season of the year when the American people p;zhlbn their capacity to overdo a good thing. Brethren, these things ought not to be so. The reaction is eomin, More and more buvers are heeding the i junction to shop early, larger consider- ation. is had for hard worked clerks and public servants.
