Ser- vice of a8 most useful ¢haracter has been given during the months of July and August, demonstrating in 2 most conclusive way the wisdom of the movement apd the well founded be- lief of these whose efforts and con- tributions made the nndertaking pos- sible. There has been increased at- tention given to the operation of the » and in every way has the taith which has heen manifested in the rupervised institntion been strength- ened. The closing exhibition of athietie e3enis and preity dances was 3 fitting finple In whicp all the children en- tered with interest and spirit. It s Aot pessible that the many hundreds of children who have been cared the groynds and enterizined during otherwise duil times, have not profits »d through this attention which has been rendered them. It is but a repe- tition of the excellent results whigh have attended Hke elpe- where. Playgrounds have proved their worth. There is only one way in which Nor- wich can properly and adequately ree- ognize the worth of the work which has been dome and that is throngh cantinuing and inereasing the interest and efferis in its hehalfl. The possibil- ities and' value have been fully demon- strated and it now remains to give the playground movement the unmited support which it deserves, and insure permanency. TOWN COOPERATION. It is surprising that the state high- way commissioner should be finding it so difficult to get the proper cooper- ation on the part of the towns of the gtate for the important work of road building and maintenance, and per- haps even more so that this lack of support shogld come from the small towns. Good raads are valuable to ev- ery town, whether it be large or small, and there iz no town which can realize this any more than the small one. where the highway is relied upon for all kihds of travel and where there should exist the greatest interest in maintaining the best which can be af- forded. " There are bemefits which are sttached to modern roads, which no eommunity can afford to averlook, Good roads bring the eouniry nearer the city, increase the value of prop- ertv. and as an aid to transportation, lighten the burden of mas and beast Such 2 matter as maod roads should be the first to apouse the efforts of every town. not salely for the local benefits, but to do their part ip the worthy undertaking of petteripg the roads of the entire state. There should be no lack of cooperation betweoen the towns and the state. They should work as a unit in the commen eause. The small town, least of al], can afford to neglect such an important considera- tion in keeping abreast of the times. Too offen ig the small town misjudged by the condition of its roads, a sit- uation which ean be overcome through cooperation. There should be a dis. position to pull together instead of apart. In the interest of a fair deal it wag a most fortupate thimgethat an au- topsy was performed upon the Mass- achusetts young man, whose death wag attributed to typhoid even ‘though he had been vaccinated against it. The investigation showed that he hgd not suffered from typhoid, but that a com- plication of other troubles had caused his death, District Attgrney Whitman cannot sce why, being at the foot of the tick- ot, his strength, which is recognized by his being put on gl tiekets, should be depended on to poll the head of. the fusion ticket into office, after he had been denied that same ' New York mayoraity nemination. .

The demand at every election is for the best mep but there is a question whether it would serve to bring about the selectign of the best talent, though it would reduce the burden upon can- didates and remove them from obliga- tions to friends who s often aid in supplying the funds. With reforms coming in politios it offers an inter- esting subject for consideration. If it means the choice of the best talent, and cieaner and better politics, it is what we want. Ry = ey e IMPEACHMENT V8. RECALL. When so much is being urged in be- balf of the recall over the operation of impeachment the getion of the low- er house of congress in taking up the charges against Judge Speer of Geor- gis for investigation indicates conspic- uously that the government aiready has ample and effective means Tor handling just such matters, There is, moreover, a bepefit attach- e to the impeachment since as the New York Post well says: “Impeach- ment is not a weapon which may be seized by 3 handful of dissatisfied men, but it has a finality, and what is more important, a dignified and judicial method of procedure, abeut it. that advocgtes of the recall might well sigh for in thelr rude substitute for it. To be put off the bench by popular vote wouid not be pleasant, but the victim could very frequently selace himself and confuse many of the open-minded by pointing to the mature of the cam- paign which would almost inevitably precede such @ vote. The upright judge, on the other hand, who had of- fended, not the popular sense of Judi- clal p.opriety, but a popular interest or prejudice, would be greatly handi- capped in employing the very argu- ments upon which his case would rest mast selidl There {s a fairpess about the im- peachment which must receive full consideration. It means action with a deliberation which eliminates thought- lessness but entirely in accordance with the facts as established after a thorough hearing. Impeachment pro- ceedings insure an impartigl and prop- er consideration of both sides of ail charges. EDITORIAL NOTES.

We not only miss the merni songs of the birds, but we notice that round | us the night in ever-nearing circles weaves her shades. The months which | nature marks with freshness, force and hope have given way to the months of ra&nm& husbandi and rest. The birds have lost their songs and their changed notes begpeak their long flight to distant, milder climes; and the maple leaves are teiling their tales of a season nearly fipished. Perhaps you have not noticed that at last the maple holds the fertect green, the tricofored leaf in red, green and yellow, and the dull brown leave as a signet of what has been, what is and what is to be—the freshness of spring, the beauty of Autumn and the russet earth-garb of November. August we catch giving us Autumn days, just as late Autumn holds for us a few sum- mer days to remind us of the fruitful and beautiful past. ¥You would not think all the way to Heayen is heaven when you look into the faces of a great congregation uf professedly pious people and be- hold what they bespeak of life. It is easier to accept the statement “Jordan is a hard road to travel,” Why should the soul that is conscieus of divine beirship have doubts and fears and worries written all over its face. The human face is a monitor over the tongue and often gives its pretences their true color. Joy never hides it- self behind the mask of misery, and this every heart knews—it neither can Pprevent the radiance of glory, We are gelf-registering machines and the traces of our true charaeter uneot be kept out of our countenances. ‘It is common to hear a JDerson spoken of a8 being good who does not look the part; and some who are spoken of as being shady haye a glow which cannot be foynd in the' shade. We sense that the soul which realizes it is on the way to heaven must only know com- stant joy. In thinking over our duties very few of us include happiness. It is up to all of us te count our joys instead of our trials, tg lay the foundation for a smile rather than for anxiety. Our daily moods affect those around us, and it s our duty to study to make our atmosphere attractive and enjoyable. . Who on earth likes to as- sociate with a vinegary temperament, or a heart-paining tongue. The smile of nature is represented in the flowers of the fleld, and the smile of man makes life as sweet. The finest hu- | man being is the one who secretes his own trials and has aid and sympathy for those even less unfortunate than he. We like te sing: 'We'll know each other better by and by,” but it is more to our credit to kmow each other better here, and to be of ser- vice to those who need assistance. If there were not a lot of people engaged in spreading sunshine life would not be nearly as enjoyable as it is. It s goodness makes the face radlant! Some people think high living puts them on the way (o the higher lifa when it has nothing in it but a good taste in the mouth, and a distressed feeling at the stomach. If they read theip Biblg vight they will diseover that the feast has had yery much less to do with ecstatic feelings than the fast.

It is a fact, that the halo is so muech out of style and out of mind that when most women see one in the painting of the old masters that most women inquire if it w. the faghion to wear hoops in the halr in old times. Haloes represent the reward of purity and virtue, but from close observation | in this vale of tears I have never been able to tell :just what diamonds do stand for. They seem to glitter in front of vanity and pride, and te in- voke a great deal of suspicion evem Wwhere there are riches. Of course, we shall have to admit that they are nicer to have than hard luck, or any other misfortune. Haloes come later on in life. but they wear a great deal onger; and where haloes are fashion- able diamonds, we are told, will com- mand very much less respect. © be ne and hope te be yery happy in | We baa known ecach sther well for tress: kol Ll hepes were more than realized se far a8 I was concerned and I flatter my- that Harry was specially centent, le proved hi e enerous devot: and MNM 50 why sheul not 'i‘he happy in making his comfort pi] my first thought, hed it tmznmw n\ln; nx:twul;vn: v‘:‘ not counted, she, ust be adimitted Shistorsone.

Her heart is in the right place.” Could I be blamed if I sometimes hed that her tongue could be re- strained and keep in its ewn place? There came a time, however, when her tune changed.

It operates upon all minds. It is the pressure of the infinite that drives the sensualist to say, “Eat, drink and be merry, for to-morrow we die.” Its in- fluence upon another type of mind drives the man to religion. Institutions are Shelters against the infinite. Such are the home, the church and all housings of 's bodies and souls. In them we huddle together for fear of this unknown thing. Out of the infinite come all things— the souls and bodies of men, the plants and animals the galaxies of stars. Into it agan pour all things, for at least infinity swallows all. Visible things are but a shudder of the infinite, a_passing dream of eternity. We see the infinite everywhere. We see it when we look at the sky, as in a picture. We hear it when the clock strikes, marking the passage of its me of Aunt Melissa and some of her cecentricities, hut the Ralf had not been told. I uw“im I was prepared for all 1 sheuld be called npon to meet, but I feund myself in the wrong. For instance, we had always been Harry end Fannie te each other, and when I was accested as Njece Francis, a chill ran down my spine. and it stayed there during mest ef her visit. She insisted on calling my husband Henry, claiming Harry was. ‘Hot sufficiently dignified for a married man with & wife and chiid. Now little Jack was the darling of our hearts, and it toek much self- coptrol on our part te be instructed as we were quile pften, as to how we should rear him. In Aunt Melissa's opinion, it was a grievous mistaxe that he was not a girl. Then he would have been named for her, of course: and she would have done well by the child. She insisted on calling him John, much to that young man's dis- gust, and in eonfildence he teld his nurse, “Me no like old woman. Wish she’'d go home. The nurse was” ariother blunder on our part, Aunt Melissa give me to understand from the first day of her visit that with our income, we could not afford a nurse; I.should care for the baky myself. Aunt Melissa_was a misfortune in other ways. All our domestic affairs demanded reformation. Our table was too layishly provided, we should ecopo- mize there, she announced. Let her do the marketing, and we would soon see 'a difference.

So all the household ar- rangemenis. were upset to make her comfortable, and she entered no ob- Jjection to any®hing done for her, The rest of the relatives told us we were _foolish to gratify he# whim in this respect. “Hateful old cat,” said they “I'd never do it for her, just think how she has found fault with you. She is an ungrateful old crea- ture, and does not deserve such kind- ness,” But an entire change had come over Aunt Zlelissa, and her gratitude was erident. Patient under her suffering, she glite won my heart as I attended her, for mo one except Niece Frances was aceeptable to her, and before her recovery was complete, she and I were firm friends. “Henry,” sald she one day, “veu have a yery lovely wife in Frances, 1 can never be sufficiently thankful to her for all she has dene for me,” The day came, at last, when she was able to return to her own home, whither Harry conducted her, and saw her safely established among her own surroundings. The following winter was unusually trying, and bad news reached us of when it was offered. She protested against the telephone 3§ an unnecessary extravagance, but every day found her using it to com- municate with some ome of her friends. SUNDAY MORNING TALK Trees Full of Sap. The Psalter is a choice manual ot} devotion not merely for its spiritual | insight but for the richness of its imagery. It is full of telling figures | and similes that baunt the memory. Where else may one, seeking a noble | vocabulary, so refresh his seul as at this pure well of English undefield? - “The trees of the Lord are full of sap,” declares the Psalmist in happy phrase. He means that God is a good provider. There i§ nothing meager ( about the Almighty’s provision for the world that he has made, He opens his hand lavishly to satisfy the desire of every living thing. ..Elsowhere the good man is likeped to a tree nourished by the bounty of God. “He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringth forth his fruit in 'his season. whose leaf also shall not wither.” The trees that God nourishes are juicy with sap and the men that he sustains grow fresh and vivid to the end of life. Human trees there are that withered, and one need not ook far afleld to see them. The zest, the delight of life has departed. Disillusionment is writ- ten on the faces of many weary folk who have made full trial of what the world has to offer. They were the ex- pression the Fremch call passe. They have drained the enp of human pleas- ures only to make wry faces at last over the dregs foupd in the bottom. ‘Was ever more melancholy confes- !lOl; genned than that of Lord Byron at 367 % My days are in the yel leaf The flewers and fruits of love are gone The werm, the canker, apd the grief Aunt Melissa.

He did so, and she passed away with an affectionate loek for him and a living message for me, ‘When her will was made public, T was made the receiver of all she eould give me.
