Oliver Wendell Holmes, the New Eng- land poet, lived to the good old age of 86 years, and for practically three: score years and ten he was actively engaged his literary pureults. He wrote his first poems to Rttract attention while he was still a schoolboy, his stirring poem, Old Tronsides,” having been produced when he was only 19 years of age. When the publishers of the “Atlafitie Monthly,” with which he wa§ 8§ long connected as a contributor, gave a breakfast in his honor on his seventieth birthday, August 29, 1879, at which many literary celebrities were present. he read his poem of “The Iron Gate,” written for the occasion. His volume of poetry, entitled, “Over Tea-Cups,” was published in 1890, when the poet was §1 years of age. “The Iron Gate” has beén called “the finest creation of his genius” with the exception of ‘The Chambered Nautil- us.

But the farmer bloc in the Conneeticat legislature whose constitvency is only & minority of our total population, makin® them actually miS-representatives ragher than representatives, said, “We'll fix these daylight savers. We'll pass a law that municipalities cannot change thelr cloek time.” And they did. Thus we have a beautiful example of imposing the will of the minority upon the majority. Now when a community proposes o ex- efeise its right of local option, just many worth-while cities in the state have done, isn’t it amusing to find, in someé quarters, such a sudden respect for th letter and spirit of the law.
