Great harm is being done to the business interests of the easiern end of this state by the unaccommedating schedule of the Central Vermont road. Merchants in particular already feel the effect of loss of trade both here and in Willimantic because of the fallure to serve the peéople, and these people upon whom the business ac- tivity of every city depends are like- wise forced to go elsewhere to do their trading. It is this situation which thoroughly arouses the business men, and well it should, for once the trade of the outlying districts is turned to new flelds it is lost and invariably gone beyond recovery. L This situation was realized by the business men when the change was an- nounced, but the putting of the new schedule into operation showed that the anticipation was only too true. Iverything has been thrown out of joint for the people of Connecticut. They are unable to get their mail, they are unable to get the accommodation which public necessity demands, be- ing cut off from comvemient connec- tions with cemters with which they have been accustomed to trade. A large pertion of the trade along the Central Vermont road depends upon Norwich and Willimantic business houses and thousands are thrown out of the natural channel to go elsewhbere because of better railroad accommo- dations. Mail and newspapers are from four to twenty-four hours late. When it is considered that the in- terests of the people living along the ling of the road in this state are sac- rificed, absolutely disregarded by a Cabadian corporation for the accom- modation of Montreal and other Cana- dian people, it is no wonder that the merchants and mill owners are thor- oughly oused and seek relief. The Grank Trunk in the operation of the road maintains a policy of giving Con- neeticut absolutely no more than it 1s forced, to, either in equipment, rates service. How much it intends to cater to this state's trade is mamifest- ed by the fact that Norwich is make a flag station, the largest station on tha whole line of the road. Such lack of interest in this state and determi- natien to ignore ite needs warrants summary action by the legislatuse. COUNTRY LIFE BENEFICIAL. This is the season of the vear when the problem of filling in'the vacation for the boys is paramount. This ap- plies in particular to the city boys for ‘whom the most beneficial resuits does not always exist at home or in the home city.: It is a period of the life of the boy which should receive the best influences wherever he is and great benefit s to be gained from a stay in the country. They can get in touch with nature in no better way and the boy who does not get in touch with nature loses a most valuabie ex- perience of life. There he gets a knowledge of things which he ean get in no other way and a lack of much experfence allows him to grow to map- heed utterly ignorant, except as he ®ets it from reading, of an important part of life In these days when the trend is to the eities and the city boys are im- clined to stay there, nothing could bet- ter stimulate a change of the current than interesting the bhoy during that period for a fondness for rural life. From the moral aspect it is a most commendable step. Country life is benefieial in' a number of ways. It is away from the humdrum of city life, with good air and wholesome foed and offering plenty or opportunities for werk as well as recreation, making 9 all a most desirable change prepar- ;l;;w for a season of city life in the al THE YOUNG VOTER. | cloudbursts and railroad wrecks pile THE LIVE STOCK MARKET. .

Tact doesn't mean capacity for stand- ing abuse without resenting it. The man who wilfully abuses another lacks both tact and judgment, usually. Tact is more closely allied to dignity than it s to subserviency. The scold 1n trousers or petticoats is seldom worthy of notice. A e weak mouthings of persons who take undue license upou assumed superior- ity. Some people kick the dog when the lawn mower doesn't run to suit them. Tact calls for a dignified re- serve, and for silence when fools would rave. It is rarely one has it to perfection; but it is well to be as tact- ful as possible. over tho same month last year, with but a slight increase over the receipts for the six months periods ending with Jupe. Cattle and calves show a deci- ded decline for the month and for six months. The cars used in the trans- portation of live stock numbered over 5,000 less than last year. In the six months there is shown an increase in food Jive stock received at Atlantic ports by 300,000 over last year, while there has been a decided decline in ex- ported foed live stock and particular- ly cattle, in which line a decline of nearly one-third is shown for the vear. With more coming into the country and less going out, yet not a suffi- cient amount received to keep the price down, it is evident that it is not | the tariff of a cent and a half a pound which is keeping up the price of meat or keeping it out of the country. THAW CASE DECISION. The decision of Judge Keogh that Harry K. Thaw is insane in the sight of the law and must remain in the asylum for criminal insane was in ac- cordance with the decision expecied. The result of the hearing finds Thaw insane, a condition which substanti- ates that given when first tried and which saved him from the electric chair, After three attempts to gain his liberty, he is where he should re- main for the safety of the public. Be- cause his family is wealthy is no rea- son why leniency should be shown & man of his caliber. His life has been of bad influence previous to his crime, and therg is no reason to believe that he has reformed. To release him now would omly be a vindication of the murder and an invitation to him to go forth and not get insane again. Public sentiment will be in accord with the decisien of the court. Thaw has certainly been treated with un- usual mildness. The proper place for a paranoiac is under observation, where be can do no further harm when a spell, such as he suffered when he killed White, overtakes him. Care- fully planned was the effort to avoid the death chair, the same characteris- tics have continued through his sev- eral hearings, He is unquestionably safer where he is. Of course, the chick-a-dees are with us the year round, but we do not ex- pect to hear their chick-a-dee-dee! until cool nights and frosty moraings; but the 17th was a cool day, with an overcast sky, and a chick-a-dee just penetrated midsummer with his unsea- sonable notes. He was a surprise to me and a delight. I did not think of his appearance as an ill-omen, but just a “happensiance,” as some old-fash- ioned people say. His chick-a-dee-dee did not ring out as loud and clear as it does in late September, and on throygh the winter until April. He didn’t seem at all anxious to be heard. Twice he repeated his call, and then the old midsummer silence prevailed. He must have heard cherries were ripe in our neighborhood, for I think he was in the cherry tree, getting a taste of the fruit which the robins and the grackles have been helping themselves to early mornings of late. There are two plants which thrive in the garden, and when I hoe I spare them because of their beauty, Oue is the native joint plant, or day Sower of the spider-wort family, commelina communis, with -its pretty oddly shaped, two-petalled sky-blue flowers, and the other a flower which resembles a white and lavender orchid, with deep red lines, dashes and dots in its throat, and racemes of eight alternate sprays from the main stem, containing as many as 250 flowers and buds. I do not find it in'my flower guide. It has lanceolate. sharply serrated apposite leaves on a stem which is more square than round, and reminds one of the horse-tail or bed straw. It is a third larger this season than ever before and while free from lice seems haunted by little red ants that appear to gather honey dew from the flowers. It is a pretty flower and I learn it is a stray from some garden and is the false dragon’s head, of which there are sev- eral varieties in cultivation. It ig a perennial and pretty enough to be kept in cultlvation. | guess the wrens have been off for a summer vacation, after having raised a broad. The male bird’s cheery notes were missing for many days; but last week he returned, and these mornings and evenings are just filled with his gleeful song, Perhaps they have been taking a tenement inspecting tour and found, all things considered, there was nothing better than the box in the Sheldon pear tree with its cat guard and an artificial pool of fresh water close at hand. Wrens doubtless have their ambitions for the best to be Lad 1in simple life, and know when they are satisfied. If they could read we would add a door-mat to their domicile wity the word “Welcome” on it. We do not mean to let the wrems leave us if we can induce them to stay. They have spent several years with us, and reac- ed many broods, regardless cf the cats.

Happy thought for today: Those who fish for compliments fish in dark waters. Stocks are rising, but the political situation doesn’t warrant too much confidence in futures. The yell of the electoral college is T-—A—F—T, while the calls of the Bull Moosers is Help. Now that the Colonel has a whole party to himself and everything unan- imous, he ought to feel satisfied. Lerimer must be conscious that he is no blacker than some of the men who labelled him as a black sheep. The summer girl doesn’t mind the tan and freckies if her escort keeps the ice cream and bonbons coming. The other evening | saw a pair of sWifts dart into my neighbor's chimney Just about the timo to put infants to bed. I have since wondered how mary years they have made a nesting piace there. I have been looking at that chimney for many years and never saw a swift enter there before, 2l- though the swifts may have reared their young there for years. We may never have happened to look in that direction beiore at the right time. The opportune glance was a long while on the way. The swifts originally took to hollow trecs, like the bluebirds and owls; but they found the chimneys 14 man’s abode safer aud, perhaps, bet- ter suited to their tastes. This rather commends the swifts to me. As a mat- ter of fact, more than 100 swifts havo been known to occupy an old-fashiored chimney. They resemble the nut- hatches and woodpeckers as much as the swallows, and among birds are something of nondescripts; but we cali them chimney swallows, and man is likely to do so until the cnd of time, Few Americans dare use as bad lan- guage concerning the cost of vaca- tions as they do about the tax rate.

In thig regard John Hays Hammond, president of the Na- | tional League of Republican clubs, has this to say in reference to Massachu- metts, and it applies also to the rest of New Engiand and elsewhere: “Massa- jchusetts, in a prominent degree, has /prospered under the fiscal and eco- | nomfc doctrines of the republican | party. The demecratic policy of free | trade, which would be established by democratic success in the coming na- tional election, would deal a stagger- ing blow to the industries of this com- monwealth, Tvery citizen, whether capltalist or wage earner, whether of the non-producing or the producing class, whatever may be his vocation, would suffer, directly or indirectly, by such a change in policy.” The overthrow of ' the policy on whieh the industrial, agricultural and Jabor strength of the country is found- | ed, in its present success, would be & | sad blow to the interests of the coun- rry.

Do not take to heart the] (Written Speclally for The Bulletin.) An old rhyme tells us “Man works from sun to sun, But woman’'s work 18 never done.” However the first half may have as the world has e statement fied the hours of a day's w &xmh fewer for most workmen, and we all rejoice thereat. Labor seems meore strenuous than of yore. In most trades a man must werk to his uttermost while he works. We see less loitering over the allotted task, less among men, and less time wasted in all the small ways known to careless workers of days gone by. They are often held to their work by some fore- man or overseer, and, although it is a humiliating fact, it is true, mever- theless, that it saves time to have the workmen know that they are watched. I presume we can all recall times ‘when Jaborers on the street know the “boss” is in sight. How the spades and picks will iy for the moment, and how soon they fall back into a slower movement as soon as that individual has passed on! 'Perhaps they come to a stand-still while the men discuss the merits and gualifications of the one in charge, and more or less good-natur- edly pass judgment on his decisions and orders.” . " § But how I¥ ¢ with the woman wark- er? We are concerned now only with workers, and what we have to say ap- plies only to those go classed. The leieure class, 8o called, have no inter- est in the atter. Many of them, both men and women, are busy people, and find their time fully occupied, but our thoughts today are with the toilers in life's battle and specially the wo- men toilers. ‘The majority of women workers are home-makers anr house-keepers, and of them it certainly is true that they are not restricted to certain hours of work. Early and late they must be on duty to supply the demands made by their households. When I see a man go by to begin his work with the seven o'clock whistle, and carrying as he often does a lunch-box or pail, I know that in his home a devoted wife or mother has risen much earlier to prepare breakfast and supply the mid-day repast for the laborer. In the shorter days of the year, this means working' before daylight and often with discomfort from lack of .warmth, Does she grumble? Not usually, for the majority of workers accept their tasks philosophically, if not cheerfully. Then generally a warm substantial meal must be ready at night, and while the tired man rests, and com- fortably smokes his pipe after supper, the tired woman must clean up the work and retire only after all is done and ready for the mext day’s routine. How would John or Joseph like it if Mary or Nora struck for an eight- bour day? What consternation would arise in the household, if nightfall came With no supper prepared, and the cook should announce that, she had worked as many hours as her spouse, and had decided not to do any more that day! Often, too, the marketing is done by the woman of the house, and much thought and care must be turned in that direction ,especially in these days of high prices. One dollar must be made to do the work of two,! if possible, and that often!entails more worry and careful planning than m(-" realize who are not o perplexed. Then think of ail the trades a wo- man must be familiar with in order to be a successful housekeeper! Not only cooking and general housework must ‘be within her range of knowledge, but she must be laundress as well. She ‘must be on familiar terms with needle ! and thread, for even in these days of | \ready-made nts, and repairing must done. Often, too, she is gardener, as a well-kept garde: ahout the house can prove. wg:g of a carpenter she often is, for repairs cannot always wait for a man's time and attention, and & nail in time like & stitch in time saves many later on. Frequently carpet and rug-mak- ing are among her accomj as the home-made floor-covering oft- en testities, while her beds are sup- plied with comfortables, the work of her nimble fingers. Those fingers must fill the jars with fruit, as the summer advances so that the winter supplies may find variety of fruit, jelly, and relishes at hand when needed. Doctor and nurse she frequently is expected to be also, and many an illness is avoided by her knowledge of simple remedies and care of the sick. If, jn addition te this, she joins the cares of motherhood, in many of the lines mentioned her work is at least doubled. To whom else shall infancy look for care except to the mother? Where else shall childbood turn for love and sympathy? The mother's hand must keep the children tidy for school and church. She must add to all her other cares that of spiritual adviser as well, for in many families the ease-loving, indulgent father will say Ask your mother; it is just as she gays.” Childhood has its problems to solve as do they of older years. To them little things seem great beyond eur own estimation. say, when told a matter was of no eonsequence: “It seems important to me.” | Who but the mother can s0 well re- move the splinter from the finger or bandage the cut or bruise? Who else can give the healing kiss that makes all well, or settle so fairlp the grievances which oftgn arise in a child’s dealings with Ris mates? Truly, woman's work is not measur- ed from sun to sun. Still in most households of the middle class there is found no Jack of intelligent thought and opinion on the topics of the day. Some time is found for reading, and much of woman’s handiwork becomes go automatic that thinking of deeper things go on at the same time.” It is not from such homes that re- cruits are made for the suffragette party or some other self-called re- formers. A busy wife and mother finds other things than politics to fill her time and heart. She illustrates a | sentence whieh recently came to my notice. “Do you want love, fame and for- tune? Fit yourseif to make love, fame and fortune for others, and these threa will come to you” Happy in doing for others contemtment grows in her own heart, and she rejoices in the suc- cesa of her family as if it was her own, while both husband and children rise up to call her blessed.

It is the persons who do not do it now who distress the workers and who make an army of col- lectors necessary. | SUNDAY MORNING TALK GETTING HONEY OR GETTING STUNG. It all depends on the spirit in which one gets about the job. Travelers in the East have often remarked the ease and safety with which natives remove honéy from the hive. The se- cret-is to be found in the calm, de- liberate movements of these swarthy farmers as they move without haste and without fear among the bees. An impulsive Westerner, rushing and slapping, 1s pretty sure to get well stung when he attempts the same op- eratjon. Most experiences in life yield sweet or bitter fruit wmecording to the mood in which we interpret them. It would be difficult to name eny event or cir- cumstance that is not the bearer, po- tentlally, both of bane and of blessing. ‘Which it shall prove, ia any particu- lar case, is determined by the ™{ndi- vidual's mental and moral behavior. ‘When some years ago an employe of a Cincinnati soap firm beat a batch of soap too long it appeared to his mates that he had spoiled the whole bofling. The stuff turned white and it floated. It suddenly occurred to the workman that this would prove after all, no insuperable objection to people who did much of their washing with the muddy waters of the Mississippi. He accordingly rechristened the soap “Ivory” and got the firm to advertise the fact that “it floats.” They overbeat every batch of soap in that factory mow. A less agile brain would not have gotten the honey of wide popularity and enor- mous sales from a mistake. He would simply have gotten discharged, The most unlikely circumstances may be made to yleld their tribute to | culture and to charaoter, Ttmest beauty and benefit not infrequently gpring oul of what seems & most un- promising source, Here was the peint of the riddis that Samsen, {hat fa- mous old jester, put ie his friends on his wedding day, Heving eoms upon the eareass of a lien in whieh p swarm of bees had begun storing their heney, he deseribed the ineident in this enig- ma: “Qut of the ‘eater eame forth meat and out ef the gtrong came forth sweetness.” < Although his 30 groomsmen belabor- ed their dull wits for three days, they could not solve the riddle. not quite so dull as they. At least we know that very often sweetness issues from what at first glance Is forbidding and terrible. It is all a matter of otr faith and skill and courage in grasping a given situation. That this truth is more than a fine theory I am daily being persuaded. BEyerywhere you may behold the same circumstances bringing blessings to one and curses to another. Here, for instance are two men who work equal- ly hard and in the same line. For cne the factory walls represent a prison for the other a palace. One is driven to his task each day unwillingly find- ing in it no interest nor zest. The other idealizes his job, injects poetry into it and by means of it adds to both his physical and his moral mus- cle. It is possible to extract sweetness from even 80 bitter a thing as failure. Men may accept failure in either one of two ways—as a finality or as a challenge and stimulus. When the boll weevill began to chew up the cot- ton crop of theé South, some pessimists predicted that the miserable little bug spelied ruin for Dixie. But the farm ers began to plow deeper, to bring their crops to an earlier maturity, to cuitiyate' a varlety of other crops be- sides cotton, until it began to appear that the boil weevil had been the ad- vance agent of a prosperity Erealer than any the South had yet known. They have thought of putting up a monument to him in some states, “All things work together for good to -them that love God,” sings the great apostle.

Surely no habit of thought is more useful than that which shall enable us in the midst of life’s most somber ex- periences to exchange “beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.” THE PARSON.
