It is alleged that the competition in target practice, steam engineering and in other features of the service are so keen that it is almost impossible to do the work in six days of the week. It is also alleged that ships are coaled gn_Sunday. These grievances have reached the navy department at Washington with such force as to be held under serious consideration by the secretary of the navy, and it is announced that it would not be at all surprising if an order should soon be forthcoming ordering that all work be reduced to the mini- mum on Sunday and kept there. It seems rather strange that a Christian government should have to be appealed to by its workmen to observe tc some degree the day it professes to honor. The navy department should see that the men have their one day ef rest in seven; and that the day is honored throughout the service, CREATING LOYAL CIVIC THOUGHT There is no doubt a goed way of cor- recting some chronic communal faults is through the use of the schools; and that it is a legitimate way there is no question, | Perhaps the general puble has not noticed that some of eur local and state civic organizations, by offering prizes to the pupils of the public schools for the best essavs upon his- toric subjects, have been wiping out old prejudices and strengthening patri- otic sentiment in the rising generation.

While this was in prog- ress a smell of smoke took them ail to the window, only to see the grass had caught fire from the punk, hastily thrown down, and now the fence was ablaze. The farmhands with a few pails of water quickly put out the flames, and order was once more Te- stored. s Arrived at the grove, Sammy found se much to divert his attention that his burnt fingers might have been for- gotten, except that the cause of the bandages had to be explained to the other boys. and Sammy became the center of attraction to those who had not been favired with crackers from were infirm at the start, and years have made no diffsrence to them Sp itually or mentally, for they have de- voted themselves mostly fo physicil enjoyments and gained no mastery over mind which is essential to the development of a well-balanced and triumphant 1 Lots of people are doing this today. It is a halting habit which it is well to break away from. It used to shock me to hear men speak of “the game of politi but it no longer shocks me to hear that word used in connection with anything man may find to 2ngage himself with. The man who talks to me about the game of life now has a patient and respect- ful listener. I do not feel so sure that these who have the game-sense most develop=d do not succeed best in all they undertake. In the game cf whist, we are told by a writer that it is necessary at times to break the rules to gain a triumph; and in real life this method appears to work well in many cases. We are instructed to tell the truth, but the truth-teller must have common sense and be able to use it as the whist player uses card-sense, or he finds truth telling is unprofitable. The man of truth must know when wisdom requires that the whole truth be told, and when only half of it should be uttered; and fo mistress, Miss Spooner; and the ma- trons should see that the refreshments were abundant and properly served. “Yes,” said one enthusiastic member of the committee, “we’ll show them a old-time celebration, and they will ali own up that their grandfathers knew a thing or two, if they didn’t all carry revoivers in their pockets when they were boys.” Grandma Brown expressed herself as delighted with the arrangements. ““1 shall really feel safe about Sammy on that d He will have to have the firecrackers his uncle sent him from the city, I suppose, but I'll see to it that he keeps wway from with them, and that's the best I can do. Why boys ean’t be happy without such a noise, I don’t see, but 1 suppose they are made that way, and can’'t help it. His grandfather always laughs and says ‘Boys must be boys.’ Sammy has been pretty good since the dona- tion party, and he must have some fun, 1 know. I'm getting to enjoy having him here, and he makes me less trouble than he did.” Then the old lady turned her thoughts to the various dainties she was to prepare for the picnic. far she a famous eook and noted Tor her skill in that line.

He was not the only one wh> found the walk by the lake attractive. Many other boys were there, and they had discovered there were frogs to stone and water- lilies to pull by going out on an ol raft near at hand. The boats were al- ready occupied by the older youths and maidens, intent on other declara- tions than those of independence, and who evidently thought the old rafts were good enough for the boys. Sammy, in his eagerness-to obtain the lilies, lost his footing on the raft and was flung into the water. No particular danger to himself followed, as he quickly scrambled out, but what of his fine, new suit, which was com- pletely daubed with the mossy slime from the pond. “With dismay he be- held himself and reflected as to what MATINEES Sc. their carriages. ness? sciously and directly. search or the multiplying of forms of entertainment. a wary sprite | and eludes those who make a set” for her. have ceased to strive mainly for the good time and are intent on living well and of the Mother Bailey corner of Thames and Broad streets, Groton, ble hall.

Those who do net realize the worth of beauty as a facter of strength in advancing the interests of a city will net be interested in anything which may be said upen this subject. When the city fathers of Norwich nearly haif a century ago established the Fairview waterwerks and with the town and county built an elegant bullding on ('nion square and cencen- trated there the courts and the county, city and town offices, they begun the creatien of a eivic center which today really represenis the heart of Norwich —the place where all public business is transected. This is when the first steps were taken toward a city beau- tiful here: and we have been trending that way ever since. Then, about 1872, the reets were straightened and broaden and made more attractive in the buginpss center under the administration of Mayer Greene, which was another step in the same direction. Every handsome business building since has been inspired by the feeling that ‘the future of Norwich must be greater than its past; and the late manifestation of civic pride in this direction by our local institutions show that the impetus for a more attractive and more beautiful Norwich creasing. The great, bare lot open_at the cor- ner of Bath street and Frafiklin square, upen which a medern business build- ing to be ereeted, is another pro- gressive step; and still others are in contemplation: but these things never can perfect the city beautiful, for that is up to the taxpayers as a whole, and when they get the spirit the fin- ishing touches will be put on. Suppese the citizens of Norwich should realize that ene of the greatest steps in this direction would be the purchase of this great vacant lot and the opening of a sixty-foot paved street diagonally from the corner of the Met- ropelitan building teward City Hall square, so that persaqns coming inte Franklin square ceuld look right up to the deer of City hall, afid acress the square, by which our civie center would be made much mere accessible than now. P To create the City Beautiful here in Norwich to perfection seme great things have got te be done by the tax- payers; and the generation may be on the way that will perfect this work which has been so well begun. is in- A Pennsyivanian married his step- mother after his father had divorced her, to show him, pessibly, that he could abide in peace and pleasantness where he failed.

This is very much like laying new foundations for civie thought and pre- paring a generation to recognize and make practical the home-trade idea with all its advantages not only to the business of the place, but to the ad- vancement of the town itself. This cuitivation of a home-spirit must tell upon the future growth and prosperity of any place. It is good work and the schools are the only means of accomplishing it in a thor- ough and lasting fashion. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Men. of course, have a right to pursue happiness. But it's another thing to catch it. Even if they pursue it through all the vears there is no assurance that they shall ever hunt down the quary. If they set out de- liberately to overtake it they may find it always just eludes their grasp. The strange thing about happiness is that it very rarely comes to us when we seek it directly. It is rather an in- direct result of a good and uscful life. Have you ever remarked that the hap- niest people are those who think very little about anything save doi day's work the best they can? v are not trving to be happy first of all, | but to be faithful. And somehow happiness comes, even though they have not expected it.
