GIVE THEM YOUR SUPPORT. The voters of this eenatorial dlstrict are naturally interested in getting the representation which they deserve at Hartford. For that reason they should be eager to give thsir support to Albert J.

These are days of deeds, not words. The pleas of the central powers, the tatements of those who ought to know and the cutting off of contracts all point to the early conclusion of the war. Changes are being reported so fast in: Germany and Austria that it must te difficult for the people in those countries to keep up with tire pace of ovents, Pt The elimination’ of Austriz-Hungary from the war in due time will mean the same to Germany that the with- drawidl of Bulgaria meant to the dual monarchy The commander of the Black sea fleet probably understands that he has no Kiel canal into which he can dodge when he sees the allied feet heading in_his direction, What is wanted at this time ts men who will stand by the country. and it has been fully demonstrated that re- prblicans can be relied upon at all times for this service. The attacks which have been made upon Governor Holcomb are these which simply make him stronger not only in his own party but among.the ‘'people of Connectieut in general. The people know that our governor, dur representative in congress and our sheriff have faithfully and efficiently represented them and will make it certain that they are returned to of- fice. The filling of the important office of judge of probate for the Norwich district was done in the right and the only proper way by the nomination of Judze Ayling on both tickets.’ Politics having been reconvened it remains for every republicar to stand loyal to party as well as country and ino greater need for zetting out the repuiflican vote has been advanced than the plea that all should become democrats, And from this town there should be|af a little episode in another Ameri- n intended for new transports | it nnot, help being felt that good judg- | |ment the Christian cousideration for worth living. a all ‘manifest bless- ing.

To a young man, or a young woman, | the habit of reading is a good habit, because properly done it is the way of intelligence, the way of self improve- ment and self entertainment, and really one way of redemption. The! eason of the year to read is the! winter season: ‘and _the number of bhooks read is of vety much 1 portance than _the _thoroughness their perusal. Hugh Miller, who ham- mered gospel out of the red sandstone, said: ‘Upper and lower classes must be as long as the world lasts; and there is enly one way in which jeal- ousy of them can be well directed: Do not let them get ahead of you in in-| tellizence!” Of all the world’s stone- cutters he became the greatest because of his desire for knowledge, and his mastery of a few books.

Knowing why you read and what you read will make you distinguished. The third week in October the Jun- cos appeaged in flocks as foragers in suburban gardens. Earlier than usual by at least ten days, indicating cooler weather at the north than usual. These little clay-colored birds up to about 1845 werc known merely as snowbirds, or snow sparrows, but some smart Alec had them named Jun- cos becanse they.were seed-eaters, as all other sparrows are, when snowbird fitted the bird better and was the name by which they had always been known by the people. The chickadee is a snowbird, too, and the one wild bird which has sufficient trust in man to come and eat from his hand, and to light upon him to be fed. He is such| a rollicking little fellow that someone has called himthe little acrobat of the winter woods. I must confess that I{ fancy him as my winter favorite. He is less of a hobo than the Juncos and does not_come to the back door for a handout in winter only when the fields and the trees are covered with snow and ice, while the sparrows will come every day to the feeding tray if regu- larly set out.
