This line {5 one which will open up an entirely new territory to electrifica- tion. Tn its route of 42 miles from Norwich to Hartford it passes through several good-sized villages in which thriving industries are located, all of which will not énly be benefited by the road, but will contribute liberally to its maintenance. This rosl will serve a section of the state which has been difficult to Teach otherwise and will give to this city increased accommodations in reaching Hartford, by overcoming the long and tedlous ride, necessary at present, to make in getting to and from the cap- ital. The value of electric roads has been fully proven in this city. Hvery new line which can be built to add to Norwich as a trolley center means an increased benefit to the city and the business life in particular. With steady work it will be a year or mora before the full line can be In operation but its opening will be welcomed. A delayeq start Is oftentimes the cause of an excellent finish. PEACE OVER TRIPOLI, 1t is unquestionably certain that the .peace terms which Italy has offered to Turkey concerning the Tripoll dif- ference will be accepted and that the war between those countries s at an end. 1In the terms of peace it is hard to tell which has gained the advan- tage. It is the understanding that Italy is to have Tripoli, the slice of Norwich, 8aturday, Oct. 19, 1912. REPUBLICAN TICKET. Pres WILLIAM H. Viee President, JAMBS 8.

One thinks of the two together, for the thimble was usually on the finger when the measure was used. Side by side they reclined in the depths of the basket and shared the same experiences, Think of the many garments made and repaired. Imagine, if you can, the exact measure taken for every tuck and plait. In those days books on needle-work were few and those few gave directions for ‘exact work. Time moved more lelsurely and found no labor saving device as is given now-a-days for creasing and stitch- ing hems and tucks. In fact, unless I am at fault, this tape measure and thimble ante-date the sewing machine in our family, and can tell of much and varied work done by hand, which now is dashed off by machine. The infant’s outfit,” the bride’s attire, the daily dress of every member of the household owed much of its attractive- ness to the careful, painstaking labor of patient women workers whose spare moments were few and faf between. Happy hours were they that the prospective bride spent in prepar- ing her wardrobe. She would nef, if she could, buy her clothes at a furn- ishing store. The young mother sew- ed loving thoughts with every stitch into every garment for her baby and did not grudge the time spent in 50 do- ing. Then my talkative friend sad- dened as he spoke of the mourning robes which were much more in de- mand in his early years than now. “I did not like to measure black goods,” he said. “It cast a gloom over me, which I felt through all my en- tire length. I am glad to know that the custom is changing regarding it. 1t always seemed wrong to me to dress children in black for every death in the family, as was the practice years ago. I remember at one.time a dear little boy two years of age was taken from us, and his young sisters were put in- to sombre black clothes throughout. I %(ll“flfl" a3 RUBSELL Sk, of Middie- wa.

To those who are inclined to criti- cise the administration of President Taft as weak and ineffective, it re- Quires but a glance over the actual facts and accomplishments of the thres and a half years to put’ such clalms to rout. Every man is liable to mistakes, but when it comes to for and not only recommend- .11“‘:-1 putting into operation laws are for the benefit of the work- ingman, it becomes self-evident it is the common people’s friend who is at DPresent in the White house. In ans n«flg“t'l:o question, What has Pres- ident done for the workers? ' Steam Showel and Dredge says: “Ask sands who are benefited by the pas- wage of the eight-hour law amend- ton of a children's bureau to study. child life in the country, and which ‘bureau is now in operation. Ask the coal miners of the country who have jflfi:fl o terribly from mine dl ters and who are riow, thanks to Pres- ident Taft, protecked by a federal ‘bureau of mining. " “Do we want to dee all the splendid work done by President Taft undone in the next four years? We most as- suredly do not, and that is why the thinking workingmen of the country are with President Taft for re-election. It 1s not the loud, blatant shouter who accomplishes real work In this worlg Tt is the qulet, constructiye man who grapples with problems in the privacy of his study and works out their so- lution with care and caution and ap- ples the remedy with courage and fortitude, That 1s what President ‘Taft has done.” The workingman cannot too fully| appreclate the fact that the president has conducted the government firmly. fearlessly and Impartially, tackled blg problems with success: and is still courageously engaged in pushing re- Jorms and progressive legislation. ‘POQUETANUCK'S FUTURE. The fire which destroygd the B. Lu- cas & Co. mill at Poquetanuck was a severe blow to the little village ‘which depended upon that industry as the chief employer of labor there fifty hands being thrown out of work by the destruction of the mill The proximity of Hallville would likely be a great help to the village, but it is with great rellef to the residents and employes that the announcement is made by the owners that the mill will probably be rebullt. ¢ This mill has always been an active one, pleasantly located and well sit- uated so as to get the benefit of water power and conveniently located for fecelving a fuel supply. It was at the present time in full operation and the loss on finished product was a particularly severe one. It has always been in the Lucas family during the fifty-four years of its existence, and its product was well known to the trade. While the loss will be heavy for all concerned, the future looms up bright at the present time for the buflding up from the ruins of a mod- ern mill with modern equipment and every facility for competing with the output of new mills, which, through the henefit of the latest inventions » find the cost of manufacture greatly reduced. It is to be hoped that the mill will be rebuilt and that the vil- | lage of Poquetanuck will continue as one of the pretty spots in this sec- tion and that through its industrial and other interests will expand and inerease in importance. It has a chance now to make a long step ahead. Roosevelt created the Remsen board which approved the use of benozate of #oda and nearly knocked the pure food law from its foundations. He also endorsed the combination of the Bteel trust with the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, by which the for- mer realized $75,000,000, Mr. Roosevelt is right when he says “While T was president there was no complaint that T was not doing enough” He was such a glorious example that half the states were passing laws for the control of the rallroads, or their special taxation. ‘The bull moosers of California com- plain because their republican oppon- ents have told a story fifty times oven They do not appear to know that any M ¥rye and good story Is worth telling ‘% hundred times 1¢ gold in the cause of Lhe inoreass ' tion. the cost of living, the exira large [*"5 BN duetion last year is to be regretied Ly Africa for which she was contending. but with the acquisition by conquest| of that territory she also assumes thy task of subduing the Arab hordes which gave the Itallan army its great- est trouble in its attacks upon the Turkish forces.

They had rather though they have what you might call figures of speech which communicate their ideas to those who handle them aright. That's one pe- cullarity of our race. We must be taken in the right way, if, we are ‘to tell the truth with any exdctness.” That is much like human kind. They can usually tell two storles quite dif- ferent in meaning according to cir- cumstances. But I'll never get at my story if you keep interrupting me. And this is the story it told me: “When young and new, the little barrel measure with its bright black dress and ivory spindle was given to a young girl fitting up a work basket of her own and feeling quite im- portant as one requirement after an- other was carefully selected and add- ed to those already nestli together in the basket. Of them all, in adai- tion to the measure, a smail silyer | thimble alone remains, many sizes too small for the present owner's finger. A row of holes around the top at the edge shows how many hours /of faith- felt sad, too, for 1 missed his clipg- ing touch as he rolled and unrolled me. He often amused himself with me when the work-basket was within reach. A merry little feller he was and made the home Ylively for all” “Here the tape-measure tremibled through all its length, and declared itself wearied. “There's more to tell, but I'm too tired to say more now. Please roll me up and I'll rest awhile, My barrel is a good, quiet home, after all. Perhaps you may want to hear from me again some day, but now I am tired beyond measuie.” ‘Whereupon I rolled him up and left him to repose beside his first friend, the thimble, but T'll try, to remember to let him out occasionally. Who would think a tape-measure could tell 50 much of its experience. “Many thanks mj tiny friend, for the story you related. 1 shall not soon forget it was you.” 1 had intended to put both measure and thimble aside, but now I will re- tain them both In my basket and give them houseroom and tender handling for the sake of the service they have done in former years. AN IDLER. time I was surprised on a recent morning to hear the musical call of a mother bird. It took some time to learn the cause of if, but she had with her a fledged male bird she was teaching to feed upon the,seeds. I saw her give him a few lessons in seed gathering, and it was gnot until she had placed the seed in mouth and he got the taste that he begad busi- ness for himself. He remained feed- ing some time after the mother bird flew to another part of the garden. I notice the native sparrows also find much pleasure on the large sparrows; and a red-headed woodpecker gets a morsel now and then from the pear trees. It is a real pleasure to have bird callers.

Barlow rarely travels without an as- sortment of luggage that makes his host gasp when the expressman drives up to the door. It may be necessary for Barlow to transport so formidable a commisariat but most of us can get along with a dress suit case would hate the bother those trunks involve. It is significant that the Roman word for ‘“baggage” was “impedimenta.” Baggage was of course necessary to an army but it was also a hindrance be- cause marching columns could not ad- vance very far beyond slow-moving wagon loads of tents and supplies. It is a disadvantage to be anchored to a pack train, as many & commander has -discovered. Experienced tourists learn to travel light. They reduce to a minimum the baggage carried along. One or two serviceable suits are preferred to a wardrobe. Only essential equipment is included. If the cxullmt;uctieo helps when we are on the road it would help like- wise when we are at home. Millions of the sons| of men are carrying excess baggage, to the profitless exhaustion of mind and body. To get rid of a lot of this “impedimenta” is both a duty and a privilege. The very abundance of one's material possessions may impose a burden |arievous to be borne.

THE PARSON. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Wilson and Pensions. Mr. Editor: Herewith is a letter from J. B. Cody of Cambridge to the Boston Record, which I cut from The Record of September 19, It follows: “Allow_me through the columns of your widely circulated paper to ask the workingmen to remember Wood- speech the other day against the old age pension idea. He said that if we glve the old workmen pensions we would be pauperizing them. “I woulg like to know what Wil- son's definition of a pauper is. There seems no reason why any hard work- ing man over 70 years of age should be any Jomger debarred from the ad- vantage of a pension, I hope and trust that a more facile pen will agi- tate and throw more light upon tl problem of legislation. I have no hesitation in saying made that speech today in England, | he would be relegated into oblivion. “If 1 may hazard a speculation on Wilson's chances 1 should say that he will be rejected and slurred at the polls by the laboring class. I believe | in casting my ballot for a man of sterling qualities and a square dealer who will show favorable considera- tion to the workingman. “The reputation of President Taft stands so high that it is only neces- sary to announce his name. I con- clude, therefore, by praising his name above all others.” CHAUNCEY MORSE, Co. F, 26th C. V., L. A. Gallup, Capt. Putnam, October 17, 1912. Government by Ballot.

If you suffer far more than others, if the slight that is turned off by other with a laugh rankles and festers in you, if a humiliation can sing all night in your tortured brain, if the ‘memory of a wrong is)a sword and the fear of love repelled is a flame to you, why, do not pity yourself! You are as far above the dull and contented whom no_arrows of scorn can plerce as a brook. trout is above a Jellyfish. Capacity to suffer is simply capacity to_live. Life's size iy measured by the gamut of the heart. Keep true and keep sane, adjust yourself as best you may to your time and place, and above all search out those forme of subtler bliss that the less sensitive cannot understand; so you will find your pain-power to be life-power, your personality will widen and be enriched, untll you become, what mere stupid negative morality and conventional goodness can never become—great, For the best of life ls—to live, An1 to live, in its fullest ae‘se, means to suffer.
