The bull moose think it's unfair for the republicans to name Governor Hadley for the presidency now. It's a bad time to criticise, in view of the fact that if it hadn't been for their boss Hadley would doubtless have been the president-elect today. vice Hereafter, the Massachusetts and Rhode Island legislatures would do well to require the furnishing of bonds before granting franchises to railroads if they are going to be duped by such tactics as the Grand Trunk has been practicing. The democrats are manifesting much joy over the latest Roosevelt declaration. They hold that it means office forever for them. Roosevelt is NEW YORK'S PIERS. With the decision of Secretary ot War Stimson that the plers in the Hudson river at New York cannot be extended for the accommodation of the continual lengthening steamships which land there, it must’become evi- dent that some action on the part of the owners of the piers must be taken in order to secure the accommodation. Little by little have the steamship lines pushed out into the river. It was the easiest way of getting more room for the piers and the easiest way is always taken until it is overdone. For years it has been evident that the encroachment on the open-way of the river must cease, but nothing was done to help their position by the steamship lines. When it looked as if the government might not relent, there was talk of changing the terminals to other locations with the hope that the possibility of a change might af- fect the attitude of the authorities. This failed to work, and while it will be possible to build lateral piers or diagonal ones, nothing has been attempted in this direction during the riod when it has been known that he government opposed extensions. The new order makes it necessary that something be done in the direction which the authorities will permit. The talk of other locations has been for a purpose, but now that it has proved to be ineffective actual work on the con- struction which will permit them to stay where they are can be expected.

When good air gets into such cars it is by mistake, for invariably the ven- tilation is abominable. Whatever fresh \ir creeps in is soon contaminated by the passengers and becomes unhealth- ful.

Aberg, Flossie Kirchner, UNCLE JED'S TALK WITH WIDE- AWAKES, Uncle Jed is very much pleased with the response of the Wide Awake Circle to the puzzle printed and*to the sug- gestion made by Miss Lucy A. Carter of Hampton which brings out two very nice letters from Richard W. Tobin, Jr., of Norwich and Bertha A. Fuller of Hanks' Hill, Mansfield. We must all acquire habits of industry, for it is work that promotes every interest and idleness that invites gloom and misery to destroy our peace. Children think of a life of lelsure with envy and grown-ups yearn for such a life when it is the worst thing that could hap- pen to them. There is growth and pleasure in work—there is attainment and reward, but there is nothing of the kind In idleness. To get one's mind set against work early in life s almost equal to a physical deformity. It is a handicap or hindrance to advancement in everything undertaken. How much better it is to be a little helper than a little nuisance. To want to play all the time is foolishness—to want to be praised most of the time is vanity, while to want to help s love which is counted the greatest pleasure in life. There- are too many I-don't-want-to little girls and boys, and what a trial they be to thelr parents and friends. Uncle Jed wants the members of the Wide Awake Circle to be helpers, for such children are a blessing to the home and promote good Works all through life. We must either be doers or undoers, and being the last is not respectable. Uncle Jed wants the book winners to send him a list of the titles of the books won 8o that he may not send them duplicates. He has sent out 400 or 500 books in the past two years and Quplicated but two, but he is in danger of sending you a book you do not want unless you let him know the volumes you have. and when you are writing him send a list of the book’s titles with your name at the bottom of it.

STORIES WRIT'_TEN BY WIDE- AWAKES. The Arab Boys and the Lion. ‘Where in all this world will you find a boy, that is & boy, who has never pulled a cat's tail or tickled his ear. 1 venture to say that no healthy boy ever lived to be old enough to say ‘Scat!” without having teased poor pussy In some such manner. But, just think of little boys tw! ing the tafl or tickling the ear of a lion! Yet that is just what those lit- tle Arab boys in the picture are doing. See how thelr eyes sparkle with mis- chief while thev cautiously watch ana stand ready to run on the first indi- catlons of the old lion rousing from his sleep. But it is not every lion that they would thus dare to tease. The old fellow they are having their fun with is a time lion that. was allowed to roam about the streets of Hillah,where the little Arabs lived, and feeds to his ill at the butcher stalls and fish mar- kets without *molestation. Having satisfied his appetite, would lie down in the sunshine and suffer the little Arab boys to pull his tail and play pranks on him without attempting to do them any harpm. And diea many years after. g LOUISE DEMUTH, Age 9. he Baltic The Pet Lamb. I am going to tell you a true of a pet lamb. This little lamb had a home on the bank of a river, where there was plenty of grass to ecat and milk to drink The name of the lamb was Snowbell. It was called Snowbell because it was a very neat lamb and did not get its fleece solled as some lambs do, but al- ways tried to keep clean and white like snow. A little girl named Mattie used to feed and take care of the lamb. Every vear when May day came Mattie made a wreath of flowers and placed it around the lamb's neck. Mattie loved the lamb because it was so kind and gentle. When it was one vear old Mattie's papa took a pair of shears and cut the fleece which covered the lamb's back. The fleece of lamb is used to make the warm stockings that you wear in the winter. Snowbell grew to be a large sheep and then it was sold to a farmer liv- ing in Massachusetts. BLANCH LUCIER, Age 1v. Taftville. The Turkey's Escape. I am a turkey two years of age, I am shut up in a large box cage. I am shut up with other turkeys bright, and T have to stay there night after night. The farmer comes and takes every ome but me, and I can hardly see why he doesn't take me first. " But once he took ome of my brothers, and I had to burst, to see my brother jump out of his hand and run; then thefarmer got his gun. If you' could only see the fun, when the farmer got back my brother was no- Where to be seen. The farmer looked around so keen. Next he came and caught me and I did the same thing as my brother. See? I jumped and pick- ed his hands, but he hung on like iron bands. But, alas, I jumped out of A BLUE-RIBBON GOAT An English paper tells of an inci- dent wherein a goat not only resisted his human tempter, but emphatically vindicated his own principles. “Billy” belonged to a regiment, and never was a_goat more attentive to public duty than was he. In the mess-room he was a welcome guest, and received many a dainty morsel there from the friendly hands of the men. One night however, it happened that Colonel Price ,in a spirit of mischief, proposed that the goat should be offered o glass of liquor. Accordingly, he coaxingly held out his cup, and Billy, after a suspiclous preliminary sniff, quaffed off the contents. Another and yet an- other of the men offered Billy & drink, never before suspected.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Closed Season for Ananias Club.

The next morning he was absent from roll-call, and no one could tempt him to leave \he' stable during the eamtire day. When the second evening’s mess began without him ,the Colonel was requesteq to bring the deserter before a court-martial of those who had wit- nessed his tippling. 1t was with difficulty that Billy was dragged into the room, which he evi- dently remembered as the scene of his disgrace. His appearance was greet- ed with a cheer, but sadly changed were his looks. His once glossy coat had an unkempt appearance, whilst the once proud and erect head was lowered in shame. “Come, Billy ,take o drink!” said the sergeant at the head of the table. The words seemed to rouse the ani- mal, He lifted his head, his eyes lit up, his fore hoof beat the floor, With a snort, a rush, and a bound, Billy butted full against the large earthen vessel containing the men's evening allowance of ale, breaking it into a thousand pleces. Then, with his head once mere erect, he stalked proudly out of the roem. “And really,” said the corporal who told of the incident, “Billy's was the best blue-ribbon lecture I ever listen- ed to,” Please bear this in mind|* | his hands.

Returning Good for Evil. “I have no further use for Rover; said Mr. Jones, one morning, “and I mean to throw him overboard.” The next morning he whistled for Rover and went down to the stream. The poor dog jumped in the boat as usual, never thinking that this was his last sall, and enjoved it as much as dogs do. When they got in the middle of the stream Mr. Jones took the dog and threw him quite far away. Mr. Jones accldentally turned the ca noe over.
