John Carroll of Waterford w bound over to the criminal superior court late Monday afternoon on the charge of chicken stealing and assault, by Justice of the Peace Peter Taylor of Quaker Hill. Bonds were fixed at 31,000 and Carroll went to jail in de- fault. Carroll was employed by Patrick Leary of Great Hill, on the extension of the Cohanzie road as a farm hand and a week ago Sunday he was dis charged. Tuesday night about § o clock he returned to Leary's farm and stole two chickens. Leary discovered him_and grabbed him, in the scufile the bag in Carroll’s hand dropping and two chickens flying out Carroll drew a 38 calibre revolver on Leary who grappled with him again and took the pistol away from him.

Always Give Your Competitor a Square Deal and Mever Knock. e L In the third of the series of lectures on salesmanship at the Y. M. C. A Tuesday night L. M. Crandall empha- sized the following as necessary quali- fications for those desiring to make a success of selling: First, a knowledge of the goods or service; second. a knowledge of the customer; third, a knowledge of the salesman. These things can be learned by study from books and careful observation in actual experience and also consultation with other well qualified salesmen. A good salesman always gives his competitor a quare deal and never knocks. He sells his goods on their merit because he knows their worth. He knows their worth hecause he has studied the goods. FHe succeeds be- cause he knows how to read the per- sonality of the customer and thereby nnderstands what will please the us- tomer most. Most clerks fail to recog- nize the vaiue of service to their cus- tomers. THOMAS MOTT OSBORN COMING TO NORWICH Will Speak at May Breakfast to be Held at Wauregan House. The Y. M. C. A. Auxiliary has, after some consideration, decided to con- clude their fiscal vear with a May breakfast to be given at The Waure gan house May 15. Thomas Mott Osborn's address on Prison Reform which has been long anticipated, will occur at this time. Owing to the sreat pressure of work and the amount of time he has been obliged to spend to meet the many demands made upon him Mr. Osborn has only recently found a date oy which he might bs here and plans have therefore been put into effect immediately to enjoy this unusual op- portunity. ~ Other speakers of local prominence will be heard as well. There will be opportunity given for forty men to hear Mr. Osborn’s speech after the luncheon and for those who apply to the Y. M. C. A. building tick- ets will be issued up to that rumber free of charege. N. F. A. NOTES. Military Companies Held Drill in Spite of Bad Weather—First Company Made Unusually Good Showing. In_spite of the clement weather, the battalion held its usual drill Tues- day. The company officers were given charge of their commands for the first time. The First company made an especially good showing. As a finale a1l four companies drew up in line abreast across the campus. . After this each company was dismissed by the first sergeants. This afternoon, weather permitting. the baseball team will play the bove from “somewhere in Connecticut.” A fast game is anticipated. Both teams have had difficulty in getting practice owing to the bad weather conditions. Injured While at Work. Raymond Grant, superintendent of the United Metal Manufacturing com- pany, was injured while at work in the mill Tuesday forenoon and was conveyed to his home on Nelson place, where he was attended by a physician.

M. C. A. foreign work. The letter foliows 1 have just left the city in which you and your friengs are interested. If I could only hep you see all the pic- tures which are #o vivid in my E ary of that wonderful city. Perhaps it will be enough to skete the morning’s work. I spent the night in the house built on the ruins of the home of the immortal Horace Tracy Pitkin. In the early morning I went out alone to the spot where he died and praved to be given some measure of his devotion. I left the spot with a great confidence in the ultimate tri- umph of the gospel. After breakfast I_went with Hubbard who with Mr. Clack is leading your foreign work, to the association Luilding. ‘wo_elass rooms about the size of the stenographar’s room in your Y. M. C. A. building, a reading room a little larger, a reception room and a dormi- tory. 'But nobody in Norwich ever saw a dormitory like that. Fourteen stu- dents sleeping in quarters too inade- quate for two American students but things, are going on in that buildin: All the splendid work that the Nor- wich association 1s doing is being done here. 1 wonder if you can match the twelve Men's Bible classes each week with nearly a hundred influential non- Christian members. Immediately back of these rented quarters is the site siven by the city for the building which is to be built_by money raised by Sherwood Eddy.' Two-thirds of one long block on the second and most im- portant street. TEnough land for the building, a special dormitory for stu- dents, =everal tennis courts and a running track—you could not ask for a_ better site. At 10 o'clock the mis- sionaries and Chinese pastors of the ity gathered in the association to lay plans for Mr. Eddy’s visit to the city next November. The group chose a union committee and elected Hubbard as their leader with an enthusiasm which showed their appreciation of the association. We asked if it would not be better to have a church mis- ionary as chairman and the senior issionary made us glad by saving Why we are all Y. M. C. A. men and the Y. M. C. A. men are all missionar- ies: we are all one famil; While we were in conference a mes- e cott, thur | fered prayer. senger came in and whispered to Hub- bard. 1 wish you could have seen his tace as he said “We have it” which meant that weeks of negotiations wers ended and the best building in the city is leased for the Y. M. C. A. The post office building, a fine brick build three stories high, on the main rented formerly at $80 Mex. per month, now leased to the Y. M. C. A. at $40 because the owner believes in the association. After the confer- ence we inspected the new bulilding and from its roof had a perfect view of the city. A block away the gov- ernor’s vamen. The great wall miles long arcund the city with its hundred thousand people and bevond the wall unnumbered towns and villages. Just to the south the army camp with 10,- 000 of China’s best soidiers whose gray «niform is the predominating color on the streets. The Army college, the West Point of China, with 2,000 as finc officers in training as you would care to see. A student Y. M. C. A. has just been organized in the college with large hopes. A city rich in Chinese history and in the blood of the mar- tyrs a great future is before it. These new quarters will give the association the standing in the com- munity which its work deserves. Hub- bard’s concern mow is for equipment. The cities’ finances have not recovered rom the revolution four years zgo. The young association has all it can do to carry its budget and adequate equipment is a serious problem. For instance Hubbard tells me there sn't o movie in the city and that if they had a_reflectoscope they could bring to the building any group they want in ‘There is no city library and jation could become the read- ing center of the educated classes if they had even a small good librar Really o few hundred dellars in equip- ment_would make that building a crowded center of life for the city. T hope some of the friends in Norwich will help their Pao Ting Fu branch get started with a good equipment. Two miles across the city to the Preshyterian mission for lunch, Afteen minutes through the hospital in charge of Dr. Lewis of W. & J. and we were off to the train. That hospital deserves a chapter of its own but not now. One patient haunts me, a fine tall soldier who deserted, was caught, sentenced to 500 blows and beaten into uncon- sciousness. Just before lunch his friends brought him to the hospital. I watched Dr. Lewis take care of him trying to save his fast flickering life. Two comrades in uniform watched and when_one asked anxiously 1f the doc- tor thought it was serious they lost their soldierly hearing in_ uncontrolled fear when the doctor said “e'll do our best for him but he is near to another worid.” Beaten to death by his own peopie. loved and served for love's sale by the Christian doctor, these two soldiers who watched will know that the God we serve is Love. Just before lunch T watched the doctor fin- ish his third serious operation for the morning. On a palet lay a lad per- haps fourteen vears old still under cther and his father watching for the return of consciousness. I said in poor Chinese, ‘Do not fear, he will be bet- ter soon” and the father said “I have no_ fear, the foreign Christian doctor will make him well.” Tell my Norwich friends that they could see more of the need and of the power of the gospel here in a day than in a month in your beautiful city nd_that what they invest here Is jelding a hundred fold.
