The republicans hustling to get out as large a vete as possible Mon- day, and their epponents are omitting no endeavor te win at the polls. The republicans recegnize a strong ket and in scanning the names of he candidates selected to serve the ire people must mark the character of the men and their ability to conduct the affatrs of the town in a strictly busi- ness way if chesen: and It is up to publicans to loyally support men who have been loyal to every interest of their garty and who will be true to every interest of the citizens. There is no denying the fact that First Selectman Lillibridge has made : fine financial showing. or the fact that it was the republicans whe fur- nished the oppertunity for him to sa shine in contrast with the near-past, He Is a strong candidate. but if every republican does his duty « man just as honest sueceed him A comparison of the tickety ought 10 appeal to intelli- zent voterg; and the ablest and most capable map should be put in charge of town affairs. by his party ind capable wilj the persennel of NO TIME FOR A CHANGE.

It must be apparent to all intelligent property helders who desire to see this work as well and as speedily completed as pos- =ible, that a change of the men ex- perienced in it is not the way to has- en its cenclusion. I'here is no class of voters who sheuld ke more anxieus to see the present assesaqes retained than those whose taxes have been increased, for t is by the retentien of these men the list can be most speedily | alized. '?‘Yu men knew nothing about squal- iz#g fthe taxes: and it would take ther quite a while to take held of the worlc where the present asscssors veresforced to leave it This work of equalization is an im- sortant work and if there was ever a point where the counsel, “De not swap | herses while crossing the stream,” #hould be effcctive, it Is this Voters should sustaim the board of assessors who have this work In nand TWO REFORM MEASURES. The general assembly has submit- ted te the peeple twe important re- forms for their decision or rejection, he empewering of the lieutenant gov- arner to act as gevernor. whenever the gewernor is away, or unable to at- nd te duty, and legaliaing his acts | =0 présiding over the affaifs af sta It is remembered that when Lieut.-Gavernor Weeks upon the death of Gavernor Lilley, assumed the gov- orship, his enemies denied to him the title of governer until the legisia- ture by speclal act legalized his acts and made secure his right te the title. What is proposed new is to have the lieutenant-governor enjoy all the pow. er, privileges and honors that are ac- -orded to the seeand officer of most of the states. The other matter is the appraval of a rasolution which limits the sessions of the leglslature to e months, which twice the time given in other fes where limits have heen fixed for transaction of business, The leg- islature of 1911 recegnized the neces- sity for this, and by making its ses- sion the longest in history emphasized the necessity for the change. 1t seems te The Bulletin as if the citizens are alive to this .issue, and would faver it with a moest prenounced The whele pavment of $39,213.56 en the tewn debt should have been ac credited the presemt hoard of se- to iectmen In the past tWwe vears, under somely, cumatanees stated, which 2150 | gluq rec the apply to all dpWt pauments under the contract In the nast Tagpy tho: eder think ef open b The adings, and gives taday: Did veu ofvard as an rd has many its poesessors KEEP OTIS LIBRARY FREE. The appropriation of $4,500 to Otis library should be made on Monday as it has been made the past eighteen vears, fer this is the only way the library can be kept free and used as & auxiliary to the schools of the city. That it is werth all it costs there can be no doubt: and mo city has a of the same value at so light a cost. In this institution there are about twenty fhousand volumes, and this means & liberal education to anvone who cares to enjoy its facili- ties and apply himself earnestly to study < It kas been said of books: “They are a guide in youth and an entertain- ment for age. They support us under solitude and keep us from becoming a burden on ourselves. They help us forget the crossness of men and things, compose our cares and our passions and lay our disappointments asleep. When we are weary of the living we may repair to tne dead who have nothing of peevishness, pride or design in their conversation.” Free access to a library for all our citizens is of inestimable worth and should not be denied to them. CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOL DI TRICTS. The consolidation of the schools is a necessity because it will prove to be a benéfit to every family having chii- dren in schools. Tt wiil place the schools under cen- tral contrel, make the studies uniform and the facilities for progress equal. There is no douht it will save money | to the taxpayers, for it is a step for ecenomy as well as concentrated ef- fort to give every pupil within the beundaries of the town an equal op- portunity to acquire an academic edu- cation S- > It means less politics and better | work | \longside of this issue is running| the question of free textbooks amd | utensils, which it is for the interest of evers voter to consider.

FHere is one of mis- fortune’s compensations expressed in a maxim: “He who is down needs fear no fall.” There is such a thing as taking a wromg view of what the world generally calls a calamity.’ It is the most natural thing for us to be able to bear the misfortunes of others with compostre and it is evi- dence of masterliness to be able to so bear our own. Colton thought “most of our misfortunes are more bearable than the comments of our friends.” IFortugate indeed the man who schoolS himself “to see in every cloud an angel's face.” The greatest mis- fortune which befalls man s to be unable to rise above misfortune and to get from it the lessons of wisdom which it may contain. The true-heart- ed man looks forward, not backward —looks up, not down. The spirit of true manhood is equal to any calam- ity and to turning even calamity into a lesson of love. Calamity has been sald to be the perfect class in which we can look-and see ourselves as we said to be the perfect glass in which and do no: want to, but we may school ourselves so that if Fate.com pels he shall not overcome us." I wonder how it feels to be so rich vou feel you must do something 0 aveld the disgrace of dying with too much money on your hands. Very few men appear to get near the dan- ger point where such a disgrace haunts them. Of course Andrew Car- negie became conscious that he vas in danger of this disgrace and by his own statement hegan the experiment of un- icading for the benefit of his fellow- men. Fe has given away a hundred and sixty millions or more, and has and is likely to die a multi-millionaire, al- though he yearns to die poor. . Dr Pearson of Chicago, haunted apgar- ently by the same fear, earned seven millions, about the price of Carnegie's New York house, and in twenty yea he placed it all where he thought it would be of most use to his fellowmen, Lased a place in a com- fortable public home at 93 in which to close his mortal carcer. When we read such things as this it seems good not to be burdened by money—it is better to be burdened with good sense. There are only a select few who are haunt- and then pur ed in this way and it is not strange they become afraid of their own Frankensteins. This is a funny old world at bgst The man who is poor is suspected of lacking ability or being extravagan and the man who is rich is either con- sidered as shrewd in business matters, or suspected of being a sharper. It is so natural for all men to pass juds- ment upon one another that no one hesitates: and the judgment of man s experiences in life have ‘een. This is why human judgments vary so, and often seem %o absurd. It was La Fontaine who taunted us of being “lynx-eyed to our neighbors and moles to ourselves.” We have a way of seeing others as reflected in our own mirror; and in it they are sure to be distorfed by our personal faulis. How we look upon others depends wholly upon what we are. It has been said: ‘“Judge thy- self with the judgment of sincerity and you will judge others with the judgment of charity.” The man who always has o poor opinion of others is not what he should be himself, This is why a man's speech so often be- trayeth him. If he knew himself bet- ter he would be more cautious as to the character of his remarks. It makes no difference how great a it makes himn feel like the com- man is, monest man to eat corn off the ear, because they all do it in about the same way and present a generally uni- form picture. A man with teeth ob- jects to having corn cut from the ear for him, for it does mot taste as good; | and tha man without teeth knows what he is missing; but it may be said for a fact that mo man or woman ever vearns to be photographed while eating corn from the cob. Sweet corn must be gnawed to be enjoved right from the ear; and this is the only time at table that polite forms appear to suffer, and nothing is said about it. It must be what some of the scientific writers speak of as “remains’—some- thing that has come dewn from the age when fingers were strangers to forks and dining was more a matter of ne- Cessity than of style: and we shall not protest if it is said this is where a eavage practice was too firmly fixed and enjoyed to ever be abandoned. But a table full of guests gnawing corn from the cob always look as if they were having a good time! Only those who have made great and waiuable collections can what such a loss of material as Mr. Calyin L. Rawson had at the Quail Trap means to him and to the world of science. Taking his notes, his birds imd his egss, these alone covered a life's work—observimg, investigating and collecting in all parts of the continent: a tremendous Joss, to say nothing of the heirlooms angd family portraits and other works of art. There has something more gone out of life for him than the value of the $35.000 or more which they represented; and the $21,500 com- ing back in insurance is no reward for what has been lost and can never be replaced. But there are a thousand and one bits of knowledge connected with such a life of investigation and 1dy which are imperishable; many splendid memories of scenes in the wildwoods of this continent, that lie cathered something fire cannot wrest from him, and which must con- tinue to be a jov to him the remainder his days. The birdmen of the con tinent feel sad when they hear that so much material of inestimable werth has been swept aw: and they ire the only ones who can fully real- ize what Mr. Rawson has lost, although he has the sincere svmnathy ef per- scnal friends far and wide. - There is nothing a human being likes better than to have his own way. We all of us are inclined on close touch te be surprised at the . other fellow's perversity: but we are all victims o our set notions as to the mode of living and soon come into a condition where we are unable to recognize sound advice, or to act for our own comfort and well being. Many years ago I positively declined to have a simple thing done for me when sick which saved my life. and it was done with- out my knowledge and was successful. 1 declared it was a fetich that would an cradit to a medicine man among the savages: but that it would be a dis- srace to a medical man or his patient n_civilization. That was the point at which 1 had the best part of the nat- ural foolishness taken out of me: ~nd since then by entertaining the experi- ence of ethors I have discovered that what has looked to me like foolishness was really wisdom. We turn wisdom down off handed, and think we are wise. You know people are set in their ways: but perhaps it has never dawned on y that you may be wo- fully set against vourself and your hest interesis.

A strange cellection of articles crowded every available corner, and heaped themselves on the extemporiz- ed counters. “Now Is our time for a quiet chat,” | remarked the straight-bacli chair fo her neighbor, an old rocker, which stood near her. “I've heen waiting all day to speak to you, for you remind me of one of your family whom I knew long ago. Your people are not so long lived as most of my immediate relatives. We always stand firmly, and hold our- selves so upright that we have a fine reputation, though there are in the city a few Benedict Arnold chairs.

Why, I dis-| tinctly remember being honored as tha | finest chair in the old mansion; and when Washington was at our home he rested within my arms. “Well,” interrupted the Rocksr, “comfort is often prized beyond state- liness, and, thoughel am only an old Rocker, 1 have rested many people when they were tired, and I venture to say Washingten would have enjoyed reposing In my embrace better than sitting bolt upright, as he had to do | with you.

It is not the scientific way of treating babies. They should be laid down on a bed znd left to go to sleep by them- selves. One of us has a great deal to say on thit subject. and other things to be done properly for _an infant's well-being.” This last came from a pile of books on one of the tables. Here the straight back chair again took up her share in the talk. “Children were rocked to sleep in these olden times, let me inform vou, but their mothers were too busy to hold them in their arms. Cradies were used, and while the hands were busily employed in some other work, the foot kept the cradle ajog, and the baby's nap was thusproduced and prolonged. The cradle which Washington occu- pied is still in_existence and may be seen at Mount Vernon.” More than chairs and books were in the room, and a flash of fun and gen- tle ripple of laughter came from a pils | of eyeglasses and spectacles near at hand. Rumblings from a2 Rummage Sale SSRBERREE AR s R A | somewhat reconciled me “Who sent us here and why must be a mystey,” giggled they, “but we have had lots of fun looking on today.

Many children about townare using glasses now-a-days, and we are convinced that eyesight must be fail- ing.in these later years. Perhaps our stately friend in the corner can tell us whether Washington used glasses to read with.” The speaker paused for a reply, but| received only dignified silence in re- turn, so he went on with his story. “If was a pleasure to see the poor womer: looking over the piles of cloth- ing, from which they selected so man: things for their little ones to wear during the coming winter. Those who sent the garments would have been pleased, I am sure, to see the comfort were furnishing to many a f; On the other hand, what sense less rubbish has been sent here by those who should know better! Look at that pile of artificial flowers, and that one of old bead trimming and lace. | Whoever will want any of that stuff?” Like a flash came the answer from the beaded lace: “We gave up a goodly part of our company to a well dressed lady, who! claimed she wanted our heads to use and was glad to get them: and as for the flowers, there are always those who like finery better than substantial comfort. Their sense of beauty is ap- pealed to, 1 suppose.” A pile of old plates pushed them- selves to the front at this juncture and ! announced that they deserved notice | because of their age. | “We are not sure Washington ever ate from us, but he may well have; done so, and I don’t see how our own- | ers could have been willing to send us' here, but T am glad they did, for we may be taken by some one who will appreciate our worth.

The individual in life is always expecting too much and doing too little; and is usually un- mindful of the fact that he is respon- sible for no other person’s life and | cannot live his life for him. “Every tub must stand on its ewn bettom.” If this sentiment was more generally re- spectel life would be very much im- proved. the Indigestion, which is so common, is a warning rainer than an affliction, and except for this useful natural agent to netify us to have a care more people would die sudden and untimely deaths. Indigestion does not represent a daivine affliction put upen a man, but the re- sult of human excesses. As the Aus- tralians say: ‘“The man who has indi- gestion has been guilty of abusing little { Mary!” in other words, he has forced upon his stomach more work than it can perform. When other machinery gives out because of a misuse of it We know who.to blame: but when the stomach kicks becalise it is not having the consideration which is its due we are inclined to ‘blame George and call a.doctor, as if the doctor could cure our feolishness. The most the doctor can do is te check us in our biind career and give the stomach a chance to res: and recover its equilibrium.

They are making medicines a good deal more palatable today than for- merly. The cure involved in swallow- ing some of the old-time concoctions was almest as painful as the disease itseif. Your modern dector hands out the vilest tasting drugs put up in the form of sugar-coated pellets that might come from Huyler's. It isn't at all unpleasant to take pilils—yunless you are unwise enough to chew them. T presume some of the bitterest piils we have to take in life would go down easier if we refrained from chewing them. You can extract a good deal of bitterness from your problems if you ve a mind to. There is hardly a aifficulty that comfronts us in the day's work that will not vigld a flavor of gall if one is looking fer the taste. There is no duty that may not torment us and ne fear we may not indulge in if our minds are so d@isposed. | knew a man once who got much | wrought up over an approaching -in- terview which he dreaded exceeding- Iy. He thought about it for several days, and the more he thought the more fearful and unwilling he became. He grew quite ‘peevich’” as my yeung friend Harry calls it, oever this inevitable ordeal. When the time came the thing v bad at all. The pain had all been in his previous apprehen- siong. The pill would have gone down ail right and without any noxious taste before or after taking if he hadn't in- sisted. for several dayvs, on chewing it. Of most of the apprehensions of life we may say that they weaken rather than strengthen us.
