It is so natural to condemn the live man and to praise the dead; it is not surprising we do not realize often what paragons of virtue abide near-us. Even when a.man writes his autobiography he seems to glory in the things which do him least credit and which a friend Wwriting his' life would surely omit. Pepy’s and other . celebrated - diarists have satisfied the reading world that men and women place:on record about, themselves what no one else would dare mention. Perhaps this is because man knows himself so well. he doesn’t dare ‘to be dishonest. At all events the obituary writer has been trained to speak well of the dead, and‘ to magnify the little virtues which he may discover in ‘the drift of their lives. A man’s photograph doesn’t always flat- ter him, but the pen-picture of -the deceased ‘seldom’ lacks fine features. _Symp: thy has been defined as a de- Vvine passion of the human heart—next to love; but it seems to be akin to selfishness. Sympathy has always proven to be a poor guide for man unless kept under restraint. Coleridge savs “All sympathy not consistent with acknowledged virtue is but disguised selfishness.. True sympathy is an ex- pression of feeling based upon love and followed by words ~of wisdom ~and Rindly deeds: but there is-a sympathy so vapid that when expressed in words it has spent itself; and there is also a sympathy which prompts one -to sustain vice and to promote wichedness of every sort. In fact we may be cor- rectly judged by the trend of our sympathies; hence it is well to beware The worst | Phabet “that can be mussed-up -that|of our sympathies, to hold- them in check until we analyze their worth.

Tt was Miller, you know, who thought when: he went to SAFETY ZONES (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) A humorous acquaintance who has run a car since the automobile became of practical use, declares he believes some such conversations as the fol- lowing go on in households daily: “Now, children, since you are dressad and combed and breakfasted, run right out to play! But, darlings, be sure not to go in the parks, or vard, or playground!

Us middle class people have no call to cater to them aristocrats! I'd advise you, Auntie, to put cotton in your ears, 50 as not to be shocked by the dread- ful way them motor drivers will swear!” Fih This funny fellow claims, too, that Farmer Tight-Wad will remark slyly to his good wife: “Poor Towser!” Ain't a dog In this country as has killed th’ woodchucks he has!

Not owning a carguyself, T'm not in a pasition to decide. But one thing this droll driver has told me and that 1 want to relate to The Bulletin readers. It's the best safety idea I've ever heard of. He states that during a recent visit to Detroit, ge saw for the first time what they call there “Safety Zones.” On_either side of every dangerous crossing. or point in that big city where there was certain to be congested traf- fic at any time of the day, there were drawn on the street in white, after the way a tennis court is marked, two de- viding lines. 3 These lines were renewed daily, so that thay were always fresh and dis- tinet looking. When cars of any kind, motor of trolley, trucks, wagons, carriages, reached such a line, the driver stopped. He never stopped within the zone—if he were go careless or so criminal as to_do €0, he wWas soon taught better! With this precaution, a pedestrian knew that he had assurance of a safe crossing path. When the zone was clear, the drivers moved over it. This system checked the mad dash about dangerous corners, past blind alleys, through crowded squares. I inquired if auto speeders did mot complain at having to pause, in the Detroit way. The gentleman declares there is the strictest cctnpliance with the system. Each motor car driver recognizes that the safety zone is as much for his benefit as for that of the general public. “People won't believe it!” my ac- quaintance says. “But 1 know men who have never got over the nervous shock of running down a child, or a wheelman—through no fault of the driver of the car, most of the time, too! “Whatever it must cost to keep up that system in Detroit, T'm sure every driver of an automobile is willing to pay his share of it! Suppose we had such a safety zone here in Norwich, say across from Rose Alley to Ferry Street, at the bank corner, on Thames Square, at the foot of Bath Street and at other points where tragedies are skipped by a hair's-breadth every day —I'll wager there isn't a driver who wouldn't fall in with the plan! “It might tal 'ew minutes to slow blessings by not striving for them directly. They come to us incidentally and often when we have ceased tu think -about them at all. They are a sort of byproduct of a life that is glven to the pursuit primarily of some- thing else. “There is happiness, for instance. Evervone. wants to be happy. But practically one gains happiness not by striving for it directly, not by “making | a. dead set” at it, but by doing his duty as well as he can, and finding happiness by the way. The profession- al pleasure seeker is by no means sure to be the happiest of mortals. Indeed, he may easily be one of the unhappiest. The most pessimistic boox in the Bible is the book of Ecclesiastes. It is the record of a strenuous pleas- ure seeker, and one who found on!y‘ acrid disgust with himself and with the world. “All is vanity and vexa- tion of spirit,” he said. They are most likely to find happi- ness who center their attention on some other object than that. They seek the. happiness of others, -they try.to be of service to the community, they engage in -some useful and en- grossing occupation. And, strangely enough, joy comes to them unsoughi, a wayside.angel to bless and inspire their lives. They learn to appreciate the. experience of the Apostle Paul, who in the midst of constant labors and incredible hardships was still as one “alway rejoicing,” who in a dun- geon cell could sing songs at mid night with his feet fast in the stocks. Or does one crave fame, popularity, the good opinion of his fellows? Here again the result is incidental to un- selfish service. It does not come through direct quest. One may make up for the part, scheme for effects, pose before the motion picture machine —bput the real hero does not arrive by that route. Forgetfulness of self is a first- essential. Washington at Valley Forge had no thought of the heroic scene he was making for future ages. Lincoln, sad-hearted, saving his few words over the Union dead at Gettys- burg, had no thought that his brief speech would - live forever in the hearts of his countrymen. o M}; find fame not by seeking it di- rectly, but by going about the tasks to which they are called in a regardless and whole-hearted sort of way. His- tory proves the truth of what Tenny- son told us-in his noble lines on the a up; but they would be mighty few compared to the time it takes to clean up after an accident, to answer for what. is often wrongfully called in court ‘carelessness,’ or to set a driver right before a coroner's jury! “Of course, there might be danger of accident at night. when the white lines of the Safety Zone, could not be seen—unless some system of lighting them could be arranged; but such a plan during the daytime would be the biggest help to the motor-traveling craft and the biggest safeguard to the public, that I can think of just now! Maybe other cities besides Detroit hav® tried it; but out there tkey think it the greatest scheme ever!™ THE DICTAGRAPH.

The govern- ment of the French Oceania posses- sions is located at Papeete, which has a population of about 6,000, more than half of .whom are French. The town is on the northwest coast of the island. As one enters its harbor through either of its two passages, it presents a beautiful view, backed by five moun- tains. The women of Tahiti are among the most beautiful of the Pacific. The early Tahitians were noted for their immorality, a systematized exchange of wives being one of their customs. Sisdice—A Russian town, the capital of the government of the same name, 69 miles north of Lublin, and 53 miles east of Warsaw. The town is noted for its bread. It is regularly bullt and possesses a fine castle.

Arras—An important French city, 27 miles southwest of Lille, and the same ice from the Belgian border, on the Scarpe river, at its junction with the Crinchon. Vauban erected numer- ous fortifications there in the 17th century, of which a gateway and a dis- mantled citadel are all that is left. Arras was tho chief town of the Atre- bates hefore the beginning of the Christian era, passing under the Ro- man rule later.

The administration made a grave mistake when it passed its tariff bill. The democratic politicians promised that this tariff bill would.provide the needed revenues for the government when supplemented by the income tax, but this promise was false.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS «' Thinking and Doing. It is better to live than to dream, to do than to write. It is greater to act than to sing or to speak. Seeing and showing to others 1s- er than painting and sculpture. - What is this but to say that Hfe, after all, is greater than art, and that being is nobler than imagining? There have been some who have ‘denied this and fave asserted the exact contrafy, but:we must be coptent with fact and not with delusive Para- dox. -There is a great satisfactién in it, a grand solace for the ordinary per- son. We cannot all -be ‘writers or art- ists or singers, but we can all live, and it is living that is the supreme concern. A time to die will come, but we need not anticipate -it.. We have to live first, and the dying will take care of itself. Action is itself an utterance, an ex- pression—usually it is the most sinceis and thorough of expressions. We bave to throw ourselves into some form of action in order to realize what is in us, to develop and mature it, to give it its full life. This is why the greatest unrest, the greatest tedjum and bore- dom, is that of the unoccupied per- son: this is why the thing that we really crave, especially in our earlier years, is some mode of practical activ- ity. Dreams as such cannot content us, though they may be a source cf inspiration; they or their spirit must ‘be translated into some measure of actuality. Thought alone cannot sat- isfy, though without thought we are like dead things: thought has to be converted into deed, interpreted i action, set forth in material truth. We can both think and do—we must .if we would be effective. Yet as think- ‘ers we may be second rate, we mayv have to borrow from the minds of others, we may only be translators and interpreters; in action we can alwa: De original because some opportuni or occasion of action will come to us that never came to anvone before. No one was ever placed just as we are; no one has done or can do exactly the same things.. We can find originality in action, .even if in art or in thought ‘we must remain mere copyists, If You Want Good Things Call At The Quality Store THE FOLLOWING ARTICLES ON HAND AT ANY TIME Boiled Ham Ve N Sausage b o Potato Salad Minced Ham 3 Frankfurters Sliced Bacon SRR - 4 g Celery Salad Fish Cakes : g * Cabbage Salad Fresh Pork and Sausage Roast Meats with Dressing i THESE CAN BE HAD AT REASONABLE NOTICE A - Roast ‘Chicken Shrimp Salad Crab Chicken Salad Salad Tuna Salad + CLAM CHOWDER ON FRIDAYS P BAKED BEANS ON SATURDAYS - % 15 POUNDS GRANULATED SUGAR FOR $1.00 r e - .
