After evidemce produced by game wardens, to which Main offered no defense, he was given a sentence of 30 days in jail with fines and costs that totalled $348.70. He appealed to the common pleas court and furnished a bond of $500 through George Mattern of Preston. Thomas M. Shields of this city was counsel for Main, Farmers from all over the surrounding territory flocked to the town hall for the trial, crowding the court room and sit- ting in the windows, while a score of au- tomobiles were parked around the place. A table loaded with a score of heavy traps, and the game which wardens seiz- ed last Friday in Main’s house and barn constituted exhibits in the evidence against him. Included in this were half of one deer and part of another. He was charged with trapping and kelling two deer and received the jail sentence and $100 fine on that count. Other counts were dispesed of as follows: ‘Traps set without name of owner there- on, $25 fine; having two partridge out of season, $25 each; gray squirrel out of season, $25 fine; quail out of season, $10 fine; woodcock out of season, $10; a to- tal of $220 in fines.

The case was prosecuted by County Game Warden Robert Chappell of New London and testimony was given by Federal Game Warden G. H. Chaffee of Vermont, who has been detailed to special duty in this state. A part of his testi- mony was that he had found a number of dogskins in pickle at the Main place.

M. C. A. Rev. Charles H. Ricketts dellvered an inspir- ng address, emphasizing the reasons why we should be optimistic. Among other things Mr, Ricketts said, “Why is it that most of us magnify the ills of life and minimize the blessings? If an auto coming down that hill meets with an accident, we center our attention and talk on that, while the ninety and nine autos pass by without an accident, and we take no note of it. We magnify the unusual. are visible; let one star fall as a me- teor and everybody is talking about 1, while they seem to forget the 6,000 stars that so beautifully bedeck the eavens. Why is it that we pay so much attention to one bad man, and fail to think of the many good men and true? Let a good man make a misstep; let a minister fall and there are great headlines in the paper, but nothing Is sai@ @ the mualtitudes of men whose lives are clean and true. ~Men, we find just what we look for; i we go out and look for that which is low and mean and dirty, we generally find these things, and we do not have to go far i from our own doors to find them. If we look for the things that are high and noble, thank God we can find them. We should be thankful to Almighty God for the many good men and good things &e find in this world. Our attitude toward life depends not on outside things, but it is a thing of the heart, and God has put the capacity for gratitude in every human heart. Our experiences are more on the bright side than on the dark, though when we have ome hard experience, seem to forget entirely the countle: blessings that have been oars. If you keep 2 djzfy and jot down your hard experiences and also your blessings, you will be surprised when you strike a bal- ance at the end of a month or a year to find how very far the blessings outnum- ber the hardships; if you will do this, and. count your blessings as well as your ills, you will cease complaining. I knew a man who had a most won- derful wife who had helped him in an unusual way and because of her great help they had been able to get togethcr a comfortable amount. One day th's good woman fell sick, and this smail- souled husband complained bitterly be- cause for a few weeks he had to for the doctor's visits, He begrudged thirty or forty dollars for a doctor for his wife, who for full twenty years had had robust health and had been In a real way his, mainstay. What an exam- ple of pessimism. Thank God the ave- rage man today stands for peace, and let us be glad that we have in our coun- try peace once more, I am thankful that we see but few men in soldier uni- form in these days. e want no more war. We have cause for gratitude that we are, as it were, beatiny our swords into dinner pails, and changing the sol}- dier uniform into overalls and jumpers, and instead of the noise of the gun, we hear more and more the noise of ham- mer and chisel. Business s coming to fts own. Let us be optimistic.

Valentine Chappell of 2 London had 160 of his large and wonde ful colléction of - etchings hung to viewed by the members. Lawrence Miner of New London, a| member of the Norwich Art association, | gave a very instructive and interesti mg‘ talk on the history and methods of etch- ing, giving Hamerton as the best aulhor-i ity on the art, and Rembrandt us the greatest etcher. His religious works are | the greatest ever done. Christ Before | Pilate is now in the London museum and Christ Healing the Sick was soM recently in New York for $20,000. Mr. Miner noted a decline in the art of etching during the 18th and early part of the 15th century, but a decided revival! beginning in 1860. In Mr. Chappell's collection were etch- ings from the different periods in the his- tory of the art from the times of Man- tegna, Marc Antonio Ramondi, and Al-| brecht Durer, to the present time.
