His studies, he says, "reveal condi tions existing In some sections of our great American metropolis that parallel the historic depravity of ancient Sodom; conditions with a growlr dis regard for legal restraint that are ca pable of an extension that would en danger the integrity of our municipal life." The statement says further of the children: "Firty-elght per cent, drink some form of alsohol beverage occasionally or at regular intervals; ST per cent, drink one glass of beer a week to five glasses of .beer a day; Zl per cent. "L" "L.r 1' J." ST f,r"P' he concludes, "the percentage of occa sional and regular drinkers runs as high as 79; of those attending schools 4S per cent, are backward in their studies."

Card of Putnam, who has been assist ing Acting State's" Attorney E. Frank Bugbee, opened for the state and con sumed his allotted 45 minutes with a masterly effort to show Wood's guilt Attorney Charles L. Torrey of Put nam followed tor the defense, and did his best to convince -the Jury that Wood was not guilty of the offense charged, attempting to show by the evidence that Wood at no time con cealed the roods stolen by 'Miller, and even courted the attention of different people to them. At 12 o'clock Attorney 'William A. King, assisting Attorney Torrey for the defense, made his argument In stead of holding Miller up as a bad type ot criminal, he eald that he had sympathy for him- In his trouble and deeply regretted that one apparently eo well endowed with the gift of in-tc-lllgenr-e should have so frittered away the past few years of his life. Ha stated that it was a question of be lief between Miller and Wood.

Acting State's Attorney Bugbee In finishing the case brought to ft close a long- term of court, one of the longest hrtd in this city within recent memory, and during all the weeks that he has been serving as state's attorney has exhibited marked ability as a pr-we-' cutor and rare tact in the disposition of the several cases that have been trior!. There are three other cases from Putnam, analagous to a degree to those of the Dupuis and Wood cases, in which men received good's from Miller that were taken from the Brad ley mansion at Pomfret. State's At torney Bugbee said that he would not nolle them, but that they would not be tried at this term. He stated that in the event of Miller's being sentenced to ftate prison that would not pre clude the possibility of his being ob tained at any time when wanted and placed upon the stand as witness In the cases' pending. Guilty ori Second and Third Counts. At 5.13 o'clock the Jury returned a verdict of guilty on the second and third counts. Sentence was deferred by the court.

There were no lights in the church, but as she opened the door there was a flash of light and a burst of planr musio and Miss Alice Shaw presented her a beautiful bouquet of carnations. Before her were two long lines of peo ple and she was led by her little .1oer girl down the aisle to a table covered in crystal gifts, cut glass, china and other useful articles. A message was sent to Mr. HIscox, bringing him to the vestry, to be equally surprised. After congratulations they wore invited to be seated and witness charming illus trations of a number of songs. Re freshments were served and games made the remainder of the evening en jfiyable. The affair was ar ranged by the young people of the church at the Instigation of the pastor's wife, and the loving thoughtfuJness was deeply felt by Mr. and Mrs. HIscox. Sunday Subjects.

BLUE OARSMEN No Stiffness After Time Row Varsity Again Outrows Freshmen Detroit Leaders Downed Pirates Increase Their. Lead Baseball Today for Norwich Fans. Gales Ferry. June 11. Free from, any stiffness after the four-mile row of late yesterday afternoon the Tale var sity eight were out on the water this morning for a short practice, which was followed by a six-mile-row late this afternoon. The eight was sent down stream for three miles and re turn, rowing a slow stroke over "both stretches. On the return the fresh man eight pulled up beside the varsity and the two had a sharp brush back to quarters. The freshmen pulled away from the sarsity at first, but without raising the stroke the varsity passed them when the distance was about half covered. The work of the varsity eight was very encouraging to the ceaches. The "two varsity four-oared crewa and the freshmen four were out on the river for several hours -without coaching and rowed in all about eight miles. Maitland, -who had been rowing No. 3 in the freshman four, was put In at No. 7 in the freshman eight and Smith was taken from 7 and put in the four-oaxed In place of Maitland. WAUREGAN IN FINE TRIM TO BEAT PUTNAM. Team Fielding Strongly and Pitchers Will Hold; Heavy Hitters Safe. (Special to The Bulletin.) Wauregan, June 11. Wauregan goes to Putnam tomorrow to play Putnam on their own grounds. Putnam -will find Wauregan team the strongest that has played In Putnam this season. McLean at short, Driscoll at second base. Hill in right field and Shea, sub outfielder, have added a tower of strength to the team. These will be new faces to the fans of Putnam. In the securing of Ted Shea of Jewett City Manager Farrell pulled off one of the slickest pieces of -managerial ability of the season. Manager McBroome of Jewett City waived claim to Shea. The Wauregan manager was on the job and got Shea's signature. Shea is well known on the circuit as one fast out fielder and a corking good base run ner. He may not bat as heavy as some, but Is good an emergency hitter as any team has. Wauregan is pleaea over the deal. Shea will continue to be a great favorite here. Wauregan has four good pitchers ready for tomorrow Livesly, Kellogg, Sullivan and Barry. Ben Llvesiy, the premier pitcher of the1 team, who has pitched great ball all season for Wau regan, will probably be Manager Far rell's choice, and if Llvesly's upraised ball is working right he will put a damper on the heavy batting averages of Putnam. The Wauregan team Is fielding better than any team in the league, their batting is good and will be better, two of their best batters as yet to get going, and when the team batting strength gets going there Is no team got anything on them. The pennant bug is buzzing in the bonnets of Wauregan fans and a strong delega tion from Wauregan will go with the team to Putnam tomorrow and they say nothing but rain can .beat Waure gan in Putnam. 250th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION of the Founding of Norwich, July Sth and 6th FINANCIAL AND PRICE FLUCTUATIONS Mirror the Uncertainty of Speculation Marked Contraction in Sales. New Tork, June 11'. The action of the day's stock market threw no con clusive light upoi the state of specula tive opin.'on beyond the uncertainty mirrored in the inconstant fluctuation of prices. The marked contraction in the volume of the market at the same time waj an additional symptom of the disinclination to assume a def inite attitude in the speculation. Fore casts of the bank statement afforded some increased assurance over the money outlook, and rates for call loans yielded to below 2 per cent, after the appearance of the preliminary esti mates of the week's currency move ment. In spite of the easier tone of the Chicago exchange on New York, the inflow of currency from the in terior sDums to be uninterrupted. The estimates of gain In cash by the baaika for the week vary ff.m five to over eight million dollars. The higher rates for money during the week, both on time an.1 call, foster a feeling of caution on the part of borrowers and induce the conviction that the demand from the interior for funds to move the crops is at hand. The conclusion of the stock market settlement In' Lon don was followed' by some relaxation In the demand for oable remittances to London, which has been a feature vf the foreign exchange market, and which Is regarded as evidence that American stocks are carried in the London market for New York account. London financial observers assert the belief that the largest part of the ac count in American, in that marke't is for New Yorkers. It iB probable that the seasonable hardening in the money market has something to do with the scaling down of speculative activity in stocks. There was some unsettlement caused by the discrepancy between the sharp decline in the price of copper warrants in London and the braak in Rio Tinto mining shares in Paris, and the glowing reports of copper trade conditions which continue to circulate here The suggestion that exports of copper were accumulating in foreign stocks and that domestic deliveries by pr6ducers were finding lodgment in second 'hands without going wholly in to consumption, was Tegarded as dis turbing and a partly accounting for the sluggishness in the copper indus- iriKlf.

There were, declines in other stocks stili in Haw ley- control. There was an other variation in the opposing" move nvents of the Harriman Pacifies.

All the followers of the C. A. C.'s are doping it out for this afternoon at Sa chem park that Carolina is due for a walloping at the hands of Capt. Tim Sullivan's men. .Up to Memorial day the C. A. C.'a were making it a straight flight for the pennant, but the Stonington champions clipped their wings in two games and put them back where they must fight their way to the top again. Capt. Tim Sullivan !has looked the team over carefully, tightened up the gearings, repaired the loose joints, pol ished the bats, massaged Dan. Marra's strong right wing, carefully adjusted all the throwing arms in the infield, and sighted each eye in the outfield for any kind of sky rockets, so that it is confidently predicted that Caro lina -will be the first stepping; stone in the progress pennantwards of the C. A. C.'s again. If you don't believe, come up and see them pla ythis aft ernoon and also get a line of Carolina, which is making its first appearance on a Norwich diamond. Bulkeley Confident of Win Westerly high school students will be pulling today for the Academy to win out over Bulkeley when the two teams meet this afternoon on the Academy campus, for that would set tle the question of the school cham pionship. Bulkeley has three games left to play, while Westerly has fin ished its scedule, having lost only one game. If Bulkeley can take all three that are left, the New London nine will be tied1 with Westerly, so that a loss will be fatal to them this after noon. Bulkeley comes up here su premely confident that it is all over but the shouting, but in baseball you never can tell, and it might fall to the Academy to dash the hopes of their rivals. Bulkeley's other two games are with Windham high. The standing: Interscholastie League. Won. Lost.

Reinforced toy Bill Austin, the latest addition to the Hospital team, and with Zemke, Austin and Welch as the battery, Manager Farrell's fast bunch will tackle the Baltic team this aft ernoon, which will put them in fine shape for Wednesday, when they go to Middletown to play the Hospital team there. For their slugging abil ity the Hospital crowd has always been feared by opposing- pitchers, but with BUI in the lineup there is worse trouble for the boxmen. That team of Narragansett Reds from Wiilimantlc that 'published a challenge for the Hospital in The Bulletin, has been written to twice, but nothing heard. Manager Farrell sus pects it is a case of cold feet. COMMERCIAL. 14t Am. Bur ltrflnlni J.tZvd 1S1 13$'i 109 Am. Trt. A Trt ..J4I74 142!i 14214 400 Am.

Thar are too many Inoperative laws on the statutes now, "but these do not jmwnt the addition of others. Illinois has resolved that the children of that state shall have the privilege of growing- up In flats. The legislature has passed a hill voiding leases in apart ment houses wliech prohibit children, and 9m governor will sign it. After he has slaved it. what will the law arcount to 7 The prloe of tha rent can reads- be made prohibitive to fami lies with children, or the tenement may bosre been rented when tbey call. It is apparent that the objection to children In tenement houses is the ex oessivs damage they do to the prop er tr. and toe annoyaooe they be to other paying tenant who object to their pYsaenee. It Is a matter of pri vate business In which the law can be adroitly and readily evaded; and which can only be regulated by the landlords and the tenants. Svch a law may look well upon paper, but it is always In affective. COLONEL BRYAN'S NEW STAND. William Jennings Bryan has come out as an apposer of the saloons and Invited the democratic party to Join him in this work. The colonel gave out an interview In Omaha in which he denounced the liquor traffic, and declared that there ought to too a con ference of democrats to plan for next year's campaign, with a view to fix lag its attitude on the liquor question. Asked if he expected to take part tn the fight against the liquor traffic, he replied: "I most certainly do. For eighteen years I have been discussing other questions, but I shall do my part to keep our party from being con trolled fey the liquor interests." Now Colouel Bryan has his biggest stunt upon his hands, and it is more than likely that a great number of his supporters in Connecticut will re tire to render assistance to those Vho believe In the refreshing qualities of beer and "mountain dew." The temperance people will rally heartily to Mr. Bryan's support, but as a democratic slogan, "Down with the saloons!" and "We're going dry!" will not take. The question can be properly asked now, "Is Colonel Bryan a democrat?" 8HOOTINQ AT BALLOONS. The fact that the balloon Alabama was shot at the other day while sail ing over Alabama, recalls tho experi ence of Mr. Glldden, as Ills balloon sailed over a Vermont farm a year ago. In neither case was any damage done, but it Is not pleasant to con template such peril in consequence of the ignorance or malice of the .peo ple who observe the balloon in the air. These occurrences have created a demand for the enactment of laws protecting the balloonlsts and making the penalty heavy for those who in dulge in such irrational "sport." Of course; men who do this have no mor al sense of the enormity of their of fense, but they may be made to real ise tha peril of such conduct to them selves by the prompt action of state authorities. POPULARITY OF FREE RURAL DELIVERY. The nation is just hungry for free rural delivery routes and the govern ment cannot begin to meet the de mands of the people. In the fiscal year ending May 31, the number of petitions for this service received by the postofllce department at Washing ton exceeded by nearly 50 per cent, tho number of rural free delivery routes in operation on that date. On the first day of the present month, the total number of rural free delivery routes in operation was 40,637, served by 40,508 carriers. The number of pe titions received up to May 31 .was 68,741, and adverse reports were made on 16,884 of these. There are 1,563 petitions pending, on 1,358 of which no action whatever has been taken. These figures leave no question as to how the people regard the serv ice, and the only check appears to be the Inability of the government to meet the demand for these routes. This popular mail -system is destined to cover the entire country, for It Is of great conveniance to the families and facilitates all kinds of business. Mr. Leonard Ayers finds that in fit-ty-flve American cities 800,000 children sailed to pass examinations this year, a loss of 814,000,000 to the cities. He says the fault is with the schools, not With th children. Quite likely. A GREAT NEW ENGLANDER: The death of the Rev. Edward Ever ett H-tle, at the age of 87, will create a feeling of regret in all parts of the country. Ha was eminent as a schol ar, clergyman, author and citizen, and his kindly feeling for his fellowmen and his sincerity in everything he un dertook impiessed the people with the nobility of his soul. His only literary contemporaries were Thomas Went worth HlgginBOn and Mrs. Julia Ward Howe; and New England was proud of them for their great ability. EDITORIAL NOTES. Why should "fair play for the negro" be the cry?' Let's change that for fair play for every human being. The senators who are calling La Follette names simply show that they have felt the sting of his penetrating facts. President Taft ought not to haye gone back to three meals so soon when he is coming to the "No-Breakfast" town. John Mitchell Is willing to go to congress if the people desire; and it looks as if lie was slated to go up higher. The reputation of the St. Louis packing houses makes the" non-meat-eaters smile, for they know that they are safe. When some of our lawmakers are pointed out it Is not strange that peo ple wonfler how they ever won such distinction, Attention is now being called to the fact that In this country there is only one Seattle, and just now all roads lead that way. Hsppy thought for today: There are a great many men who cannot stand prosperity, but all of them would like to try it Just once. When President Taft realizes what preparations Norwich is making for his reception a little thing like con gress cannot keep htm away. Gen. O. O. Howard has the distinc tion of being the last surviving corps commander of the civil war. The vet erans hold him in high esteem. Some men feel sure that a proper test of whiskey cannot be made un less they put down a gallon. It takes them some days to make a report. .The trusts are said to count up 240 in the entire country, and to represent a capital of seven billions. The trust busters must buckle on their armor to stay. Jack London says he has been af flicted with five deadly diseases within a month, and he is a living example of what may run through a man's mtrid. The chief of police of New Haven rises to say that New Haven is not as bad as painted. No city would care to be photographed, though, just as it is at times. A Savannah, Ga., man was arrested for swearing about the results of the hall game, but when the judge learned the score of the home team he dis charged the prisoner. There la nothing the matter with the vote of confidence the legislature has given Highway Commissioner Macdonald. It has given htm the power and assistants he asked for. FLAG DAY.

It looks now as if the reading public would before long be taking their daily news on cornstalk paper. The cry foe free pulp will then be over. Norwich Bulletin. Paper of -excellent quality Is Den.8 made from cornstalk fiber. This is only one more example of the modern effort to utilize all elements of value in any given product The so-called by-products of the corn crop are of immense value and importance. The stalks properly handled have high feeding value. The pith has uses in shipbuilding; the cob refuse from canneries is a first class material for making alcohol, according to a rec.t government bulletin, and now a new source of raw material for the paper maker is found in the stalks. All of which adds to the lnsome of the farm er. But unhappily this utilization is not all commendable. It offers a fruit ful lield for fraud and imposition. Of jate the high price of grain has aroused the cupidity of dealers in food staffs to an unusual degree and they have flooded the markets with corn meal that contains a large proportion of ground cob, an utterly useless material that serves only the purpose of an adulterant and Imposes an additional tax on the innocent purchaser.

I have never felt afraid of my fellow men whether they were good, bad or indifferent, and L believe I have mixed with all kinds. Where the good and the evil meet on fha level I do not se why good influences should not stand an equal chance with the other kind; but we are told they do not. The sharpers will do you, and I confess I have been done brown by them. In one or two instances I confess that I deserved to be. In mixing I have be come satisfied that one-half the world is not more than half as good as it thinks that it Is, and the other half is not near as black as it is painted. It is a good thing to have one's eyeteeth cut, and it appears to be impossible to get them cut in good society. Most good men are only seconds in grace; and most bad men are somewhat bet ter than the devil. It beats all how polite and courteous some villains are. The man who keeps hi3 eyes open and his head level is seldom beaten at any game. The game of life is on every day. Perhaps you do not know that the average rate of mortality Is seventeen to the thousand and that the city where It is so low is very rare. That means a great changen population In half a century. The burials here have aver aged between five and six hundred an nually for a good while and the births are a little more than that sometimes and sometimes a little less. It is won derful how closely the balance of life and death is kept up. And in fifty years there are 25,000 born and 25.000 have passed on to their reward. The proverb that "the good die young" is founded upon the fact that man is prone to sin, and that the abiding place of innocence 13 infancy. It goes with out saying that there have been great changes here in Norwich since 1859. There reBt in Yantio cemetery.' 15,000 L souls it is a populous city of silence, and silence is said to be "the perfectest herald of Joy." The man familiar with animaie real izes how comparatively dull man Is. The cat. the dog and the horse hear sounds he wots not of. The horse's ear Is the outpost's guard In war the severed ear of the dog the sheep's protection in Greece for the shep herds cut one ear oft to keep It from closing while the dog sleeps and giv ing the wolves their opportunity. Any of these creatures hear Infinitely more than a man. In fact, all dumb crea tures have an acute sense of sound; and the difference in sounds, for the Insects in the forest will stop their noises upon the approach of man, but a whole herd of cattle will not disturb them. I have noticed that my dog in the house Is the first to hear noises, and so delicate is his sense of steps that he can tell when a small dog is trotting over the concrete walk on the other side of the street from hearing alone. There is no cause for complaint here, for we all know that man often hears too much as it is. All nature is keyed up to the correct vibration. If everybody was courteous there would be less complaint about the roadhog. The roadhog Is supposed to always sit In an automobile, but he doesn't. You have seen him if you have troileyed much obstinately using jp his minutes and bothering the mo torman; and if you have motored Just a little you have seen him in a farm er's wagon holding the middle of the road so the automobile could not with safety pass. I have got mad with the man in the wagon myself, and when finally he drove to one side and the auto driver politely thanked him I could not help thinking that he must feej pretty cheap, for as an example of, bad behavior his was first class, and if the driver had cursed him he would only have been human. How a little polfteness prevents friction and pro motes good fellowship; but the world does not make the most of politeness. If men would only resolve to be kind ti one another the. roadhog and all other hogs would soon be exterminated How the grouch of perfect physical form is put to shame by the cheerful cripple or Invalid. When I meet these courageous people in the streets I am appalled by their patience and persistence. In spirit I surrender to them. I find myself saying to myself, "That beats me. I oould not do that" Life, as they struggle and limp through It, seems to them to be worth living, but it does not seem to me thet Jn their condition I could possi bly find it so. In my soul I thank God that I am physically whole and strong and blessed with every faculty; and I pity them. Although It seems to be something they do not need', since most of thm can excel me In persist ence and cheerfulness. The man with out a hardship Is not more than half the man he thinks he is. It takes the real man and woman to make the best (t mlsfortuni- an.l iderso circum stances, and I do not think that they get. half the praise they deserve. They are whole In spirit. If deformed in body. They ever set a noble exam ple. I notice that Pupilio turnus has come to town the striped winged, swallow tail butterfly. While he finds greatest pleasure in the red clover fields he is not averse to the flowers In city yards, or flying through the Ibusiest streets. He is' the largest New England bufterfly, and his black brother, Glaucus, is a great capture for entomologists. .It has been said that "some flowers are only lovely to the eye, while others are lovely to the heart," and fanciers of butterflies can sense how this sentiment applies to these "winged flowers of the air." This beauty begins life on the spice bush, and in Its infancy thrives as the hog-nosed caterpillar. a worm which would frighten a novice. In -all stages he is of interest to v the student. He was a resident of Norwich centuries before Mason or Uncas were born. How do you suppose it ever came to be said that "politeness Is no man's word; itjs every man's lie!" It must have been, of course, because men were not true, but .used politeness for a cloak for a blind. Hypocrisy can sit behind politeness as the mistress sits behind a screen and smiles while the servant tells a caller she Is not at home. It has not been used for honest purposes-it has no standing except as a pleasing form. A villain Is often politer than- a clergyman; and the only member of the community immune from it seems to be the po liceman he knocks a man down and handcuffs him and then, if it is nec essary to be polite, he may be so. Yet, we all like politeness from friend or foe. It is akin to flattery it Is pleasing because it is deferential. It has been defined as "benevolence in small things," by Johnson, but we do not feel so laminar with It In this form. Woman in the garden adds to the plcturesqueness of the plot. It Is well for woman to take to gardening as a fad, because It means so much more of God's pure air than it does of flowers, so much more of physical de velopment than it does of delving. The garden was designed as a laboratory it is a place of study as well as of work; and what Is wrought there de pends upon the relation of the worker to the powers that be. Nature's forces are not inane but persistent forces. The zephyr which fans my lady's cheek is a symbol of usefulness. "Use fulness" Is the title of the song the forces sing; and those who have ears to hear soon' become aware of what "the still, small voice" means. The fragrance On the air of a garden calls the bees and the butterflies and tails like a benediction upon those who work or loiter there. What Is there in a garden? No tongue can tell only the soul knows who co-operates there with the unseen powers. Tka kim u t with ita matt at TlMwrai "IKE EULLETIN'S r v HIS SUSPICIOUS ACTS "Say, old. man," V Mason exclaimed, looking up as Forrester came in, "can you wait about five minutes? There's a letter I ought to get out quick." "Of course I can wait," said For rester. "Go ahead." Forrester strolled to the window as Mason turned again to his stenogra pher. He stood looking idly down at the noonday crowd in Michigan ave nue. It was a bleak, chilly day after a week of sunshine, and everybody seem ed to be hurrying to get away from the lake wind. No! Here were two per sons on the street who were not hurry ing. A man hot old. but walking feebly and hesitatingly was being led along by a girl of 8. Under One of the man's arms was tucked a violin and the child carried a decrepit camp stool. Near the corner, at the outer edge of the pavement, they stopped. The child unfolded her camp stool and seat ed herself upon it. The man took a battered tin cup from his pocket and placed it In her lap. Then he stationed himself beside her, laid the violin un der his chin and drew his bow across its strings. As the first notes of "The Beautiful Blue Danube" came rasplngly from the violin the group nearest the sound a bevy of girls started, laughed and then hurried away. The people hastened by. Some veer ed toward the inner edge of the side walk as they came abreast of the mu sician.. Some walked close up to the child and looked curiously into the empty cup. Most of the passers hur ried straight ahead, apparently uncon scious of the player and the little child. "By George!" muttered Forrester. "Think of hearing yourself make all that noise and not getting anything for It!" A youth, shabbily dressed, with his hands In his pockets, slackened his pace as he approached the two, looking at the cup, then walked on to the cor ner, where he stood at the curbstone, watching the stream of carriages and automobiles on the boulevard. Presently a girl fell behind her com panions and dropped a 'coin Into the cup, smiling into the upturned face of the child, who gazed after her as she hurried along the street. 'That's a beginning, anyway," thought Forrester, with a whimsical feeling of relief. A sweet faced elderly woman paused, and things must have proved to be a sort of godsend in the economies of the family where there are several girls. When fashion directed that wo man's headgear should be the biggest ever, and be trimmed for mass ef fects with every old thing, she opened the door of opportunity for all the left over ribbons and frumpery, and put top-knot-high many things which might have soon appeared at a rum mage sale. Where the trimming Is piled on it is not easy to detect whether the headpiece is home-made, or a professional creation. These big hats are not works of art, although a few of them do show a harmony of lines and color which is surprising. A very few do seem to be 'in form and arrangement worthy of being called pretty. The toad beneath the toad stool could never have expected human beings ever to so nearly approach his style, but the rummage sale and the tooth of time will make an end of it alL The Golden Rule Is everywhere rec ognized as the keystone to the Chris tian arch. That it is a good rule the devil himself has never dared to de ny; but it is cherished more than it is practised; and while it stands for permanent peace the world prefers to put billions annually into armaments than to be elevated to the harmony and freedom which means perpetual peace; and this rule was meant to ap ply to our relations with all of God's creatures as well aa our fellow men. This rule embodies more truth and power than was ever put into the same number of words In any lan guage. Man Is indebted to the birds in the air and the worms In the ground for the services rendered for his ben efit, and little does he realize how even the things he despises work to gether with him for good. The toad in the grass swelled up by his glut tony is not so much more ridiculous than a man swollen with self-conceit. SUNDAY MOHNINij TALK. A DESIRABLE DUAL ALLIANCE. Why are tact and force so seldom combined in one individuality? Are they necessarily Incompatible? Here is Richard Roe, a man of exquisite sensibilities, courteousand even diplo matic In all his approaches to his fel lows. Ha never rides rough shod over any one, never calls a man a liar or even an undesirable citizen. He is always seeking to placate and oer jade others, to unify discordant elemetns,, t avoid dissensions, quarrels and rup tures; yet Roe often fails to bring things to pass simply because he lacks force. But John Doe does not tack foroe. It is his trump card. He is one of those men who get their pictures in the magazines that make a specialty of exploiting successful men; no mat ter how their success was accomplish ed.

Then a pros perous' looking man tossed a piece of silver toward the cup as he passed. It fell to the ground and the child left her stool hastily to pick It up from under the feet of heedless pedestrians. "Business Is looking up," commented Forrester, encouragingly, to himself. The strains which the fiddler was wresting from the reluctant Instrument had changed to "The Carnival of Venice." The bleak wind fluttered the cotton skirts of the child about her knees. The shabby youth had left the curbstone and was surveying, with much apparent Interest, the array In a milliner's window. The shifting crowd moved on again, unheeding. Trade's getting dull," reflected For rester, at his window. The violin walled on. The child sat holding her battered oup listlessly In her lap. The shabby youth moved off down the street. Up the avenue came a group of young clubmen gay, dressed accord ing to the last word of fashion. As they came abreast of the musician and the child one of them baited a smooth shaven, round faced youngster. He called to his companions as they were passing on and beckoned with his walking stick. They turned back and each one, laughing, plunged his hand into his pocket. A little shower of silver coins dropped into the oup. The child gazed up at the circle of fay face smiling shyly, half bewildered by her suddenly acquired riches. As the merry company moved away Forrester was aware of the shabby youth slowly approaching once mora. "Hello!" .ejaculated Forrester, men tally, a sudden suspicion coming Into his mind. "If that young scoundrel's getting ready to grab that cup Til give him a thrashing if I have to chase him all the way down Michigan avenue to do It." He leaned forward, watching eagerly. The youth, his hands still In his pockets, came nearer the musician and the girl. He hesitated and threw a furtive glance about hira. Forrester pressed closer to the window. Tn front of the child the youth stop ped and stood for a moment. The hand nearest her jerked out of his pocket. A sudden weak ray of sunshine caught the glint of a small coin as it fell into the cup. Then the shabby youth slouched rapidly around the corner out of sight. Chicago News. will probably find more than one vic tim of his wilful driving and ruthless methods. Men may be praising him today as one of the greatest men the country has ever produced: but there are not a few aching and resentful hearts here and there who would tell you another story about him. And though his brusque, forceful manner has succeeded, not every one who im itates his methods Is sure to do so. The Ideal man Is he who combines both tact and force; but it Is rarely that he appears In this world. For a portraiture of him in fiction there is no better place to look than Into the stirring pages of the story by Fred erick Palmer entitled "The Big Fel low." Anyhow, one who wants to round out his life systematically and to make It count, ought to examine himself now and then to see whether he would be marked plus tn tact but minus in force, or vice versa, and if there be deficiency in one direction or the oth er, to take vigorous measures toward counteracting it. For persona con scious that they need more strength and resolulton I recommend a more earnest devotion to truth and to moral principles. If we can once get a firm grip on some things worthy to be be lieved and to be "defended, then we shall not mind disagreeing with per sons occasionally. It will seem to us of more importance to stand right than to curry favor here or there. Not that w nefil: abandon the courteous attitude but we must become more resolute, persevering and undaunted in the service of noble ideals. 'But if the scale show that we are underdeveloped in tact, one way to remedy that unfortunate situation Is through the cultivation of a larger love for human beings. He who cares reallv for men and women, not be cause they happen to be rich or learn ed or because he can use them as tools, but because they are children of the same God. mixtures of the same human Ingredients, will never con sciously slight or hurt any person, however weak or unlovely. One great reason why certain classes were in other generations generally overlook ed and are now being more tenderly considered is that there is a far larg er fund of compassion in the world than ever before. We cannot be very comfortable and forget altogether the men working in the mines, the chil dren condemned to labor when, they ought to be at school or at play, the sufferers from tuberculosis, the vic tims of outrage and massacre. If forceful people did but know, tact would often help them to attam their ends where now they are just falling. Driving along a country road I noticed a sign, "All fishing and hunting for bidden under penalty of the law." A little further on another landowner had adopted a different method of pro tecting hla property. His sign read, "All persons are kindly requested not to fish on hunt tn tVete premises."

These tailors, who up to this year had always met their bills promptly, and the tight money condition dur ing the past season made it impossible for them to settle their bills for goods, and we refused to make further shipments. We are at the present moment pressed for money and prepared to make a big sacrifice in order to turn these goods into cash to tide us over and keep our mills running." THF RESCUE flow, For Spot Gash, 1 1 Am the Owner of All Their Fancy Woolens. am Running a Campaign of Bargains thai STAG GERS Local Tailors. The goods are on sale intended for $25, $35, $45 Suits and Overcoats-will be sold by me, made to your measure, in any style desired, With Fit Guaranteed At 5 My Best Ads. arc Worn Not Written Now, For Spot Cash, i Am the Owner of All Their Fancy Woolens. am Running a Campaign of Bargains that STAG GERS Local Tailors. The goods are on sale intended for $25, $35, $45 Suits and Overcoatswill be sold by me, made to your measure, in any style desired, With Fit Guaranteed At During my twenty years in business it has been my purpose to make and my intention to sell the best cus tom clothing cheaper than any tailoring house in the country. That I have made good my boast is amply proved today by the Vastoess of My Operations Buying woolens and making garments for four great custom tailoring establishments in four large cities of New England has made me a power in the woolen and tailoring business of America. Why don't you reap the ben efit of this power f I am underbuying any and all tailors in Norwich. It stands to reason I can and am under selling them. Let me take your order for a Suit or Overcoat or Trousers on my guarantee. Suit to order worsteds, serges, tweeds, cheviots $9.75. All orders taken by me or sold expressly on my public guarantee. Every garment Is made, cut and trimmed for the customer to which it is sold, off the goods selected by the customer, to correspond exactly with sample of cloth given at the time of sale. Every garment is made according to the likes, dictates and orders of the cus tomer agreed upon at the-time of sale. Every garment is sold upon the express condition that it is to be made a satisfactory fit or no sale. And when I sell you a garment as wool or worsted, bank on it that it will be wool or worsted. That's Holbroek'a guarantee.' i Trousers to Order, $2.50 TO THE SKEPTICAL: If I can convince the skeptical that I will give for the money what I really am giving in this sale, my present force will prove inadequate to meet the enormous demands. Don't ask yourself how I do it and then assume it cannot be done on an immediate profit basis, because the Suit or Overcoat cost me $9.75 to produce. THE SECRET: Every year I spend thousands of dollars advertising the fact that Holbrook, The Tailor, undersells all com petitors. This is only another of my method of advertising. If I sell 1500 or 2000 customers this week at $9.75 I shall have added 1500 or 2000 oustomers to my books and I will be their tailor hereafter) besides, it is worth a lot to me to have 1500 or 2000 men wearing Holbrook-made Clothing each man showing and proving to his friends and neighbors that Holbrook, The Tailor, undersells alj competitors in the country UIT OR OVERCOAT TO 0 My Best Ads.

The Coronation march from The Prophet, the-eeleetion from II Trova tore and the two numbers by'Billi, Valse Tzigane and Japanese Patrol, were well chosen to show the advance ment of the class and the last named was so heartily, received as to require its repetition.

After having Inspected a sec tion of road" at Occum, he traversed the road on the east side of the Thames to Groton to look it over for a new estimate of the cost of con struction. Commissioner Macdonald said that at the request of the board of trade "and t!'c business men aril automobile ow ners of Norwich he hut surveyed the road on the west stilt of the river, and that the v.ork there would be completed first. He believes in these parallel roads,-and will then rive his consideration to the "road on the east side of the -river, which will be an expensive road to build, because of its closeness to the river, its sawm-py spots and primitive condi tion, and the .pile-driving, bisding walls and other exceptional expenses, will carry the cost to something like $175,000. He will do all that in his power, lies to promote this road, but it must awit Ub turn, as in the' com missioners office order is the first law. He cannot do as others would have him, but must move in accord with his plans, nnder the law, the co-operation of the towns, and his appropria tions. Ohlldren Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASXORIA LADIES, WHY NOT PRESERVE YOUR YOUTH AND BEAUTY? Nothing so detracts from the attrac tiveness of women as-dull, faded, lus terless hair. There is no excuse for this condition nowadays, because notice is hereby given to the readers of Norwich that Parisian Sage, the quick acting hair restorer, is now on sale in Norwich at the drug store of The.. Lee us good Co., and is sold with a rigid guar antee at SO cents a bottle. Since its introduction into. America, Parisian Sage has had an immense sale, and here are the reasons: It is safe and harmless. It cures dandruff in two weeks, by killing the dandruff germ. It stops falling hair. It promptly stops itching of the scalp. .It makes the hair soft, glossy and luxuriant. It gives life and beauty to the hair, i It is not sticky or greasy. It is the daintiest perfumed hair tonic made. It Is the best, the most pleasant and invigorating hair dressing made. For sale by leading druggists every where. The girl with the Auburn hair is on every package. Fight shy of the druggist who offers you a substitute; he is unworthy of your confidence. This Is what Mrs. Elizabeth E. An derson, Mechanicsburg, Pa., writes: "I had given up hope of ever being curea ot dandruff, when I purchased a ot tle of Parisian Sage. It has entirely removed the dandruff, and has started a growth of new hair, and all this aft er having been troubled for 15 years. I cheerfully recommend Parisian Sage." Many of our citizens are drifting towards Bright's disease by neglecting symptoms of kidney and bladder trou ble, which Foley's Kidney Remedy will quickly cure. Lee Osgood Co.

Yale-Harvard Oarsmen on Thames The Crews on Their Annnal Visit A New Londoner who Has Honors Thrust Upon Him The Will of Sebastian D. Lawrence will be Probated Next Week An Ex. citement in Church The Eagles are Coming. The late Sebastian D. Lawrence ha provided for the sick and poor of New London, and his saying of several years ago, that New 1ondon' would be benefited by the Lawrences having lived in the city has truly come to pass. He ha not only provided! that his mansion honfe should be converted into an emergency hospital, but has lert $300,nno for a free hospital to be built on land owned by hiin -in Mon tauk avenue, and which extends from the water front In Petjuot avenue to Montauk avenue, thence to Ocean ave nu.; and on to the Waterford line. It is possible that o much of the land as is not required for hospital purposes will be converted into a public park. He ha.s left $50,000 for a new an, modern almshouse and a fund of $5, 000 for Thanksgiving and Fourth of July dinners to the inmates. Mr. Law rence made generous be quests to the Episcopal church, in which he held membership. and showed his liberalism by leaving $6,000 for a steeple of St. Mary's Star of the Sea (R'man Catholic) ehurcji, thus com pleting tb.it edifk-e. During hlg lifetime Mr. I.awrence gave to the city the grand soldiers' and sailors' monument on the Parade, and also the firemen's monument in front of the eld court hous. Mr. Lawrence was New London's richest resident, and therefore was able to and did more for his native city than any othet-citizen, and his name and memory will be revered forever. New London has certainly been gen erously remembered by her wealthy citizens in the nwtter of public and semi-puhiic (Institutions, as will be seen by this list: The Bulkeley school, which was founded by Leonard Bulkeley, who left an endowment of $25,000 'in 1849, and which was increased $10,000 by the late Asa Otis, $5,000 by the late Hen ry P. Haven, and by George F. Tinker, who gave about $12,000 for the con struction and furnishing of an addi tion to the building. The Williams Memorial Institute, the foundation of which was provided for in the will of Mrs. Harriet Peck Williams as a memorial to her son, Thomas W. Williams, 2d, a whaling merchant of New London, who died in 1845 TheMnnual Training school, found ed by William H. Chapman, who gave originally $100,000 and has added to that largs sum since. The bid Woman's Home, founded by Dr. Seth Smith. In his will Mr. Law rence provides for the admission of two women a j-ear to this institution. The Memorial hospital, founded by Jonahan N. Harris, whose partial en dowment has been added to materially by several wealthy and generous resi dents. The New London public library, founded by Henry P. Haven, and his bequest increased by beneficiaries of his wiH. And now comes the Lawrence Free hospital, the Lawrence Emergency hos pital and the new almshause. To these could be added Williams park, the Memorial park and the addi tion to Riverside park by Senatoi Frank B. Brandegee and the late Mr. Lawrence. Besides these there are many minor funds for specific charit able purposes. Yes, truly, New Lon don is better off for the Lawrences having lived here, and the same can be said of the generous rich who have gone bef re. and of those who are still with us. for the good they have done for the city and the residents thereof. Although those in temporary charge of the estate of Sebastian D. Lawrence have considerately given to the public the information in brief containing the principal public bequests, the exact contents of the will are kept secret,

The Jury commission until the document fe formally- ab sented for probata on Ttraradasr af next week, when tha exaevtova named m ttre will will b confirmed by Jadr Coit It is said to toe a voluminous! document, necessarily ao, but utim published every word will b read by every person competent to read in tha cjty of New London and by many Who reside without Hs -boundary. Tha Yala and Harvard oollega tars men are en their annual viait to tha Thames course for the aqaailo avant which is to take place. J tuft foar teya before that big calibration In Norwich, Soon the pencil puahwra. some wha have never seen a boat craw at prac tice, will arrive, and then the readlnr public far and wide will b told of tha "stalwart young- giant with toarka aa brown as berries," without spaclfylna; the kind- of berriea, and of the starts, splashes, the catching of craba by tha lohsters, meaning the crew.thax is not picked for the winner by tha reporter on tha banks of the course. Then will come the rosy peperta the race, extremely descrlptsva, mn& all will be over but the shouting.

'Twae ever thus, and ever thua 'twill be." There is at least ana mil in Naw London who has had honors thrust up on him in a peculiar way. John J. Lawless, a Spanish war veteran, waa appointed brigadier general of the Tiern'.y CadeM before there waa even a battalion of the cadte organised. He ltas taken considerable Interest kn tha growth of the cadets and is working hard to have a brigade under hie com mand in the near future. Hs bears Ma honors with characteristic modesty, and is not responsible for what ia said of him in some newspapers. The cadets are a section of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union af Connecticut, whose field day 1s to be held in Danbury next week. It has been erroneously announced that Sen eral Lawless Is chairman of the com mittee of araange-mente for this field day, and that it is under tha auspices of the Tlerney Cadets. As a marter of fact, the.e heid day. of necessity are managed by committees of the soel tties in the city where the field day is held, and btate officers are occasionally given honorary positions on the ar rangements committee. but General Lewless Is not an officer of the Cath olic Total Abstinece Union of Con necticut.

Tha Musee. moreover, boasts what la probably the largest moving picture screen In the cfty or elsewhere. I have never heard of a larger picture than 30 feet. That Is the size of tha Musee screen.

A FARMER'S TALK TO FARMERS A Criticism of Man in the Mass Why Do Not Legisla tive Bodies Act with Wisdom, Act for the Benefit of the People Our Servants Do Not Do what we Hire lhem to Do Why Do Not the Farmers See that Thvy Do It- i (Written- Specially for The Bulletin.) The very most amazing thing; to me about the United States la the fact ,nat there is Mill such a country. Con sidering the blundering and stupidity und selfishness and shortsightedness nd hyporrisy which are manifestly the eontroling motives In most of our legislatures and congresses, It Js a wonder that things haven't gone to eternal smash lony since. In not talking about one partyor another j.arty; heaven forbid. I'm talking Hbout the average lawmaker who Is elected by ne average n,u3iHuc. Take the run ef men a you meet them. A large majority are fairly in telligent; fairlv reasonable; fairly honest: quite patriotic- You'd have difficulty in fooling them, individually, about matters concerning their own (merest. You fan trust the most ot them to act. fairly with you and to snow considerable good Judgment. But when you bunch that same lot together t.nd set them to acting for the general sood they are about as sensible as so many monkevs; about es reasonable as sheep and about as foresighted as paving stones. Why la It? The acting together of the public for the public welfare and benefit It all there Is to our sys'err. of government. It Is vastly more Important, in Itself, that this mutiyil, public action be wise and Just than that ftny private action be pru dent. Moreover, on the lowest ground of tlnshness. it Is more necessary. Afid yet, If jou will show me one self evident bit of wisdom and justice en sated by any legislature or toy con gress in the last year I'll agree to show you feur- self-evident acts of selfish ness or wrong or folly enacted, or as many acts of wisdom defeated for un worthy reasons. I'm not thinfclna about the tarnation tariff. The more I hear and read about It, the less I know which is Just the case with most other people. All that is clear to me In the matter Is that congress is wasting some weeks of time and some hundreds of thousands of dollars in pretending to consider it. 'Pretending," I say advisedly. .For all this debating and speechifying is not consideration but bluff and buncombe. There is no reason for suspecting that a single vote has been changed by all the speeches made in both houses. So far as the outcome is concerned, the till mieht Just as well have been pass ed by the house the morning it was In troduced, and by the senate the same afternoon. Never mind the tariff, though. Take some mere comprehensible needs of the country as a whole of the people as a whole. The other day I talked a little about the crass 'blindness and cowardice of congress in refusing to ertopt a parcels post measure which should put this benighted country of ours on aft equality of service with, ssy. Tasmania or the Black Forest. Tfils Is the only country In the world today pretending to a high civiliza tion which fails to give Its people the manifestly reasonable, economical and Just service it could give and Is maintained to give along this line. We brag about our progresslveness and ur advancement, and, yet, in this latter which touches the Interest and tie convenience and the comfort and the pcxkttbook of every American dwelling In the country districts, we ere the very tall-end of the pup. In deed, we can hardly be said to be at tached to the dog, at all. The string has broken, and we're more like the battered tin can lying at the roadside aoout as useful and no more pro gressive. All because the lower hoUBe of congress Is afraid of offending some political interest and because the up per house is or has been dominated by the callous greed ot a gang of ex press and transportation managers. whose private profits depend on their continued ability to exact high prices Then there are the postal savings banks. J-or about thirty-nve years postmaster generals have annually advised or begged for their estab lishment. Does any one doubt the value of savings banks to the com mon people? There are about fifteen hundred of them In the country, nearly all in fourteen states. In those four teen the savings banks deposits amount to 13,590,000,000; in the other thirty-wo states and all the territories to aoout $70,000. New York and New England have twice as many deposits as all the other states combined. By the postal savings scheme each "of the M,000 postoffices, most of them In those thlrtytwo states, would become depositary where the thrifty man of woman could put into the hands of the government his or her small sav ings with the feeling that they were as secure as the life of the nation. It Is no part of the plan to run them for profit, either to the government or to the depositor. The rate of Interest proposed Is only 2 per cent., which would eliminate them from all com petition with privately managed banks which pay S 1-2 or 4 er cent Love and Envy. The highest love is ever quickest to detect the failures and lnoonsis; tencles of the beloved. Just because If lta Intensity It can be content with nothing less than the best, because the best means the blessedest, and It longs that the object of Its thoughts should be most blessed forever. It is a mistake to think that green-eyed Jealousy Is the quickest to detect the spots on the sun, the freckles on the face, and the marring discords In the muslo of life; leva la quicker, more microscopic, more exacting that the Ideal should be achieved, Eavy is con tent to Indicate the fault, and leave It but love detects and waits and holds Its peace until the fitting opportunity arrives and then sets Itself to remove the defect. The Angelua. How Semlnoles Bury Their Dead. Bemlnolei bury their dead on top of the ground, after wrapping them In blankets, but always leave the top of the head exposed. They build a pen over the body and usually chink It with earth. "When his squaw dies, the husband wears his shirt until It rots ff, which Is not strikingly distinctive. Wben the husband dies, the squaw doesn't cemb her hair for three months. Little reverence is shown for the dead. When Tom Tiger's grave was robbed and bis bones taken for exhibition the outcry over the dese cration was almost wholly a news paper affair. The nearest settlers were nn alarmed and the Indians Indifferent rrom "A Vanishing Race," by A. W. Dlaeok, In Collier"s. They nsed to say I was a man with a future,". "And now?" "Now they refer to me as a man with a past. Wish I could have s, present once."' Cfrawtland Lfi&dss. Those are the main facta about the postal savings bank scheme. Aa said before, nearly every postmaster gen eral for thirty-five years has urged it; bill after biU has been introduced in to congress but we boastful Ameri cans haven't a single postal savings bank, thus far. Yet such banks are today and have been for many years 4 n..doiful o n H nrihlic- m 0PiailVU i r t, .fni oneration in Ceylon and Ja pan, in Egypt and Sierra Leone.

Now. here are three things parcels tvost nostai savines banks, a lust work men's compensation law three things which nine men out or ten, taKing im to think of them, will say are plainly desirable, manifestly lust, proven to bt practicable. They are three things In which the United states oi America should have led the world. For this government is asserted to be one "of the people, by the people and for the people." And! yet in every one of the three we are behind every civilized country in Europe, and in some of them behind even tne islands or tne antipodes. Why? Manifestly this is not a "government for trie people in these three matters. Ana yet it is government "by the people." Two of the three reforms are distinctly In the interests of the farmers; clearly for their benefit; the lack of them is a manifest denial ot Justice to us, as a class. Why,( then, don't we get up on our hind legs and compel our servants in the government to do tnat wnicn we hire 'em td do and pay 'em for doing, but that which they don't and wont do? There we come back to the mystery of it: why many men. acting together, are so much less wise and just and shrewd than the Individuals of the bunch are, when each is acting sep arately. "Rehold, my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed. But why? John Farmer Is fanly in telligent; George Jones Is fairly intelli- pent; Bill Smith Is fairly intelligent. Each one of them, acting by and for himself, acts with cruder .re and fore slant; why should the three, when called on to act together for mutual welfare, become doddering- imbeciles? There needs to be, In this country of ours, a complete ann riau.n ciicngc it the way In which we all take our pub He duties and choose our public ser vants. And we farmers need the quick ening every bit as much, if not a littie more, than any other class. I'm not talking- "politics," if you please. don't care whether you're a democrat or a mugwump'or a prohibitionist or a republican or a sit-on-the-fence there are good men' in all the pnrties and douhle-d'd riscnls in all.

Sam s receipt fo It? or the government's seeing to It that I get some pnym-nt f'.- having my leg cut off by an unpreventable acci dent at the factory or mine? One o us may believe in protection and one In free trade; another in prohibition and a fourth In regulation. We can differ on such matters, but we all agree that we want a parcels post and postal savings banks and just compensation for the accidents of honest labor. Why can't we get together at least once a year and howl unitedlv for the manv things we agree on, Instead of forever standing apart, snarling about the few things we Uiffer in? THE FARMER.

Sabre of Bridgeport, chief clerk in the tie department, testified tl'&t on Nov. 14 the compary purchased 120 No. 1 ries and 20 NO Z ties irora Orrin C." Main. Orrln Main testified that ha had sold ties to the railroad company on three different occasions and that he delivered the ties at Burdick's switch in Westerly. His last delivery waa in June of 1908. Twenty-two of these ties) were condemned. He' gave his nepnew, William C. prgo authority to sell these, condemned ties, which were in a separate pile from the rest. A week or more ago he saw some of the ties he had sold to the railroad company In a yard in Pierce street. John Robinson ef Westerly, section boss for the railroad company, testified that the ties in question were stored ir. the company's yard at Burdick's switch, which is used for the receipt of carloads of bulky freight and also for the delivery of like freight and for railroad storage purposes.

Cisco said ha had purchased the ties, but he stopped taking any more away, so far as the witness knew. He never saw Cisco take .tie'! at any other time. At the time Cisco had ten ties in his wagon and he drove away with these. Chief Bransfieli testified to seeing two piles of railroad ties in John is co yard in Pierce street.

Section Boss Robinson, recalled, said there were 104 accepted ties and 22 rejected ties in Cisco's yard. Charles H. Brown of Nerth Stoning ton testified that he was accosted by a man whom he since learned was John Cisco and accused of being the person who had sold Cisco some railroad ties, but he d?nied it. Then Cisco said wit ness looked like the man and he was cso rted to the poli-e station, but was not held by the chief. Witness de clared he had never sold any railroad tirs and had never sesn Cisco until he held him up in the street. John Cisco, the accused, said he was 49 years of age and had lived in West erly for twenty-five years. He testi fied that he had purchased some rail road ties from a man who said his name was Joe Main and was given a receipt for the same. He met Main in Tierce' street and he offered the wit ness some railroad ties cheap.

NORWICH. BULLETIN, SATURDAY, -JUNE 12, 1809. THE LONG AGO AND THE LATER ON An Experience of Eighty Years of Life By George Tisdale Bromley CHAPTER XIV. A Visit to Peklnfl Traveling Under Difficulties The Ladiea Club A New YnKl Call en Prlnoe Sir Henry Parke Sir Robert Hart Pe king Notes. A portion of my second winter In China was spent In Peking, which 1 visited at the earnest solicitation of the American minister, the Hon. John Russell Young. In getting there I had to go overland, as the river had closed (or the season, ahd the mode of trans portation was extremely primitive, the same style having; been used for sev eral thousand years. The cart In which I rode wa box-shaped and about four feet square and rested sol jdly on the Iron axle. To prevent the life being Jolted out of me the three sides were lined 'with mattresses, with two mattresses on the floor for roe to recline upon. In doing which m- feet rested on the standard shaft. The shaft on the port side Was occupied bv the. Chinese driver of the tandem mule-team. The traces of the leading mule were secured to the axle of the cart, which gave the animal about twenty feet to run and haul upen, and as we passed through Tien-tsln the hrute availed himself of this liberty. by hieing up all alley-ways and other ways of that famous city. However, we finally 'reached the open country. end then that mule behaved clmself remarkably well for a mule. At the close of the day we reached the Way aide Inn, which appeared like walled city on a small scale, without one ap erture in all its brick walls. The en trance waa through an arched gate way of quite Imposing appearance, but the interior of the square was a sight to behold. The center was used for the feeding of the animals, and on each ride were the rooms of the guests'. A door and one window of each of the forty rooms opened upon the square, and the furniture of each room con sisted of two chairs and a brick bed si tead about two feet high. Beneath the bedstead was a small opening for a. Are, but it was seldom used by the foreign guest, as the heat would bring into active life the vermin that had quietly retired to winter quarters. The two ohairs were too shallow in their depth to stand alone, and had to be placed against the- sides of the room. I had my own cook and ting-chi, or body servant, who came in another cart witli the bedding and provisions, end they prepared my sunner. Such Is l'Se In a Chinese wayside Inn. The eighty-mile Journey to Peking was accomplished In three days and two Bights. Arriving at that famous city on the afternoon of the third day, I waa received by Minister Young, and a right hearty welcome was ten dered me. I found the United States minister very companionable. I had corrnaponded With him, but did not meet him until I had been some while In China. He knew Tien-tsln well, having stayed there with General Grant and family during the latter's travela Mr. Young told me that Gen eral end Mrs. Grant, during their visit In Tien-tsln, occupied the sleeping room at the consulate that I afterward mada my own. Judge Denny was the consoj at Tien-tsln during the Grants' visit. Mr. Young was very fond of orlbbnge, which frame I enjoyed many times with him. When at the legation at Peking I occcupied the Sleeping apartment of the late Mrs. Young. It waa Just as she had left it, her toilet artioUs oa the bifreau, her two hats t anglng beside the mirror. Her para sol stood in the corner, her feather fan cn the mantel. Over the mantel waa a life-sized portrait of Minister Young's first wife and little girl, both or whom died at about the same time. Trie second wife was the niece of Marshal Jewell of Connecticut, and a Jlfe-(zed portrait of her hung in the drawing room. She must have been. I Judge form her portrait, a beautiful woman, and I waa told she waa high ly esteemed In Peking for her lovely ulisposltion and her many accomplishment. during1 which I experienced om- trie moat delightful events of my lire. Ha'sflng for a guide one of the best pilots in Peking, I visited every object of Interest worth visiting except the Forbidden City and was pumped up brimful of ancient history, and saw mode wonderful sights than ever be fore or since. I made the acquaint ance of all the high officials of the foreign legations and they treated me es one of themselves. At a dinner (riven by Sir Harry Parks I waa called upon to repeat a poem which one of the company had heard me rec'- en titled "When the Cows Come Home." filr Harry had left hla rural home in England when only nine yeara of age; since that time his home had been in the Orient, and the scenes depicted 1n the poem brought to him so vividly Jiis boyhood days of the long ago that his feelings overcame him to such an extent that he went like a child. Manv times after that evening, at the social rattiering, he would request me to recite the poem and during its recital fie would sit away by himself and ap pear to be oblivious to everything but friis precious memories. The first time, by the way, that I recited "When the Cows Come Home" waa at a din ner given by the Chit Chat club. In Pan Francisco. It was so well liked that I have kept on reciting it ever slnoe. "The Old Canoe," "Tacking fhtp Off Shore," and "The Yarn of the Nanoy Bell" have also been fa vorites. Sir Harry Parks "death occurred dur ing my term of office. Sir Harry was a genial man, overflowing with humor end bright, witty sayings. Hla rear Tied daughter living at Shanghai was on her way to visit him at the time of his death, not knowdng even of his illness. The British consul at Tien tsin, Mr. Davenport, went down to Taku to meet and prepare her for the crushing blow. They tnest on the steamer. She was full of Jovous an tiedpation, and for awhile they chat ted and laughed together before he could summon courage to tell her the sad news. It was a time of trial for Mf. Daveuport. When he finally broke the news to her she staggered for a moment and gave way to her grief, Ihut eoon recovered and was able to listen to all the details of her father's death. The funeral of Sir Harry Parks, or rather the depositing of his remains' on board ship, occurred on April 8, 1&85. I waa one of the bear ers. The body lay in state after its arrival from Peking In the compound of the English consulate, a temporary arbor of bamboo and matting being built over It, with draped flags and pots of flowers at the entrance. The distance from the consulate to the ship was about as far as twa blocks of our city, and the Chinese soldiers from 1 the barracks formed two lines the by the way, waa a gun'oarriage, the pall-4eaTers and the foreigners of the settlement marched between the lines. t as the soldiers stood at "present arms." Chinese flags were flying to the breeze and the viceroy's Chinese band head ed the Imposing procession. The mu sla of the viceroy's band was solemn end appropriate, but the band coming from the barracks with the soldiers inarched down to the consulate play ing "Nellie BIy." As moat of the mu sic was minstrel airs they, no doubt, considered that the proper thing for a funeral. No man In Chirm knew so well the true Inwardness Cf the Chinese gov ernment and its- peculiarities as did Sir Robert Hart, and his being at the head of the Chinese imperial oustoms rave the Chinese an opportune to ftudS hi azaautlva aility. Tfcay naturally considered him all Tight, es pecially as he proved to be the only man who could arrange a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulty "between China and France. Sjr Robert was very nice to me when I was In Peking. He was a clever amateur actor and often appeared In plays given by the members of the legations. As the head of the imperial customs he had authority over at least two thousond subordinates to whom his word waa law. "The Ladles' Literary and Musical Club" of Peking waa a very exclusive organization of, and gentlemen were not permitted to attend their social gatherings, notwithstanding their per-, slstent efforts, for many years. The wife -of the secretary of the American legation, and her lady companion, were prominent members of the club, and after becoming very well acquainted they invited me to attend one of their afternoon entertainments, and not knowing of thejr exclusiveness, I ac cepted their invitation. But when I mentioned it to Minister Young, he l&uehed and said: "The ladies will accept your escort to the place of meeting and then, no doubt, will thank you and bid you g-ood-by." "All right," said I, "and I will es teem It an honor to act as their es cort" The time came for the meeting, and together we went to the hall. Arriv ing at the entrance, where I expeced they would bid me good-by, to my great surprise they invited me in, and there, within their meeting room, was gathered as lovely a company of ladies as I ever met. When called to order by the lady president, a box was pro duced containing the names of ail pre sent on paper slips, and as they were drawn from the box the lady an swering to that name was expected to contribute to the entertainment either with a song, a recitation, or reading of an original pnper, and as the ladies were all moving in the highest walks of society, you may depend everything was to the queen's taste. By a singu lar freak, my name was the last one drawn from the box, and I was called upon for a Speech, and from what I gathered from those who preceded and the Inspiration of the surround ings, I made the speecih of my life, and thoia who heard it will remember it to this day that is. if they have not forgotten K, After the exeroises, we were treated to refreshments, but as we were passing out we met In the hallway the Rev. Dr. Martin, presi dent of the university, and I happened to be accompanied by his wife. When he saw me, the surprise depicted on his face was a study for an artist. "Wife," said he "how's this?" "How's Is what?" asked Mrs. Mar-, tin. "Why," raid the doctor, "Oi gen tlemen of Peking have been trying for years to be admitted to your sanctum ard have never succeeded, but here cornea this man from Tien-tsln and you receive him with open arms." "Well, doctor," said Mrs. Martin, "We have drawn the line now." "And where, pray, have you drawn the line?" asked he. i "We have drawn the line at grand pas," said his wife. "Then, dobtor," said L "you will have to hurry ut and become a grand pa, and then you can claim admit tance to this charming club," an iry stance where a soft answer turneth away wrath." Another very pleasing event happen ed during my stay In Peking. I had Intended leaving for Tien-tsln on Wednesday, but a very cordial Invi tation from Sir Robert Hart Inviting mo to remain and attend the concert ha proposed fflvlng on Friday evening delayed my departure, and on the evening appointed, Minister Young and myself, m our sedan chairs, repaired to the place appointed and there we found gathered In the reception room all the officials of the legation with their men and women friends, and It was Just too lovely for anything. When the time came for the concert to commence Sir Robert requested the gentlemen to wait until he had seated the ladles, and he distributed them in suoh a way that each gentleman had a lady to sit beside him; and1 when all were properly distributed, the gentle men were Invited in. The first to en ter was Sir Harry Parks; then fol lowed Minister Young, and I, feel ing that I was only a consul amongst all those ministers, felt that I ought to "go away back and sit down." But Sir Robert called me to him, audi said he: "You come with me," and I fol lowed him, when he took me around, outside the seats, up to the center of the front row, and there was the only upholstered chair in the room. As we came to It Sir Robert said: "There, Mr, Bromley, Is your seat." Said I- "Is this for me. Sir Robert?" "It -certainly is," said Sir Robert. "Well," may God bless you," I re plied. "Tia all I can say." When I was seated I found at my right was the wife of the Russian min ister, and on my left the- wife of the secretary of the American legation. Why, the honor conferred on me was simply overwhelming and I was prompted to pinch myself that I might be assured of my being the same Indi vidual who once turned the wheel in my father's ropewalk. The concert waa a delightful one. The music was exquisite and all enjoyed it heartily, and the social function at Its dose I shall never forget, for the attentions I received while mingling with the ladies and gentlemen of the party real ly made me feel that I was a minister myself. But the spell was of very short duration, for the next day after the most delightful visit of my life I had to bid good-by to Peking and all its loved attractions and return to my modest consulate at Tien-tsin and again assume the duties thereunto belonging. But I had enjoyed an ex perience that fans to the lot of but very few men. One of my Interesting experiences while visiting Peking -was a New Year's call. In connection with the other foreign representatives, on one of the princes. Mr.- Young kindly In vited me to accompany him on this visit of ceremony, Upon our arrival, we were ushered Into the great court of the building through long files of well-dressed Chinese, who gave us the customary salutations and wished Us a Happy New Year. Our cards had pre ceded us, and we were met a the en trance of the court by the grand sec retary and at the dloor by the prince, the highest official who holds direct communication with foreigners. As I was the only stranger present I had the honor of special attention from tht prince after being presented, and as we were waiting for the Russian min ister before sitting down to the table I had quite a pleasant talk with him through our legation Interpreter. As is the custom, he asked my age and when he learned that I had a wife, four children and several grandchildren he was so pleased and surprised that he repeaeed It to many around him, after which they all seemed to look upon me 'with profound respect. Whether this was on eceount of my family or on account Of the attention ?ald me by the prince I oould not say. thought him by far the most interest ing of any of the Chinese officials whom I had met up to that time. He had very pleasing ways, seemed ex tremely good-natured and -waa unus ually polite even for this most polite people. He had a regular laughing ey t and was as amiable as a woman. The Chinese who were present were the real rulers of the empire, who held In their hands the destiny of the coun try and its subjects. The. table was a marvel of artlstie elegance. I Counted twenty-two oiaerani varieties of cos- fectionery built up 'in the forms- of pyramids. pagodas and temples, all symmetrically arranged in rows the full- length of the table, which, with the fruits and nuts, made up the re freshments provided to eat. The drink was a delicate rice wine served hot in tiny wine glasses from a silver tea kettle, and as each sentiment proposed was drunk in a bumper it kept the at tendants busy filling the empty glasses. The fruits consisted of apples, pears, grapes and oranges, all very nice. When seated, the prince sat at the side center with Minister Young on his right and Sir Harry Parks on his left. The Russian minister sat next to Mr. Young and I next to him, with the Japanese minister on my right. At the proper time the company was called to ordf r, when Minister Young arose, and, as the senior minister In Peking, proposed, In a brief speech, the health of the prince The speech wan interpreted by Mr. Cheshire in a clear, rinfin- voice, arid then we all stood up and drank a bumper to the sentiment. The prince warmly ami pleasantly respond.!, after which drinking became the order cf the occasion. There were other tables besides the one at which we sat, small er, but arranged in the same way, which were occupied by the several boards of government, corresponding with our departments of the national government. The emperor was at that time a boy of fourteen years, who had not yet come to the throne. The street lights or Peklnsr were, in those days, well worth going a long dis tance to see, and If the-o- did not re flect the Chinese character the- were of no earthly use, for they reflected ho light whatever, and should one wish to locate them at night it waa necessary to get their bearings during the day The foundation was all sufficient trt support an upright several horse-power engine.- Upon this was placed a four poet frame about six feet high, the posts slightly inclining at the apex. The lantern was a square box with a sash of four panes on each side, but these, instead of being glass, were eov ered with paper, so that what little light there was was confined inside the lantern. The structure reminded me of an old-fashioned two-story martin box, and with the exception of the foundation, one man could have car ried oft the whole thing easily. Donkey-riding Is a curious feature of travel, and I often saw Chinese of twice the "bulk of the animals they bestrode.' They are always accompa nied by an attendant called a marfar, whose business Is to trot along on foot and encouraged the donkey bv gentlv strrlng him up with a long stick. It appeared to be a matter of complete indifference to hlnv whther the- occu pied a positlin a few inches back of the animal's ears or as much in front of his tail, while the patient little beasts pursued the even tenor of their ways with like stoicism in either cape. The most playful class amongst the Chi nese, as I saw them,, were the men of fifty or thereabouts. They played mar bles, spun tons and flew kites, while the children looked on in admiration. During the kite season the air above Peking seemed to be filled with them, representing birds, animals and fish, which rose to great heights. The Chinese women of Peking seem ed to be less devoted to thn deforma tion of their feet than those of Tien tsin, Aa a general rule, the large footed women seemed to me to be bet ter looking. They had considerable grace in their movements, while, to me, the little feet walked as though they were afflicted with chilblains. CHAPTER XV. In Honor ef General Denby The Taku Forts My Successor la Ap pointed My Kind Friends. When Colonel Denby waa appointed United States minister ,to succeed John Russell Young at Peking, his ar rical at Tien-tsin was looked forward to with a feeling of lively Interest, and when it was reported that the minister and his family had arrived at Yokohama and were to leave there for Taku on the United States steam er Trenton, I called on Viceroy Li Hun Chang" at his yamen, and hav ing informed him of the expected ar rival and of my going to Taku to meet the minister, asked the viceroy if it were possible for him to furnish me with an order to the commander of the forte at Taku. to honor the min ister with a Sag-raising salute as he passed the forts. "Why, certainly," said the viceroy. "Although it has never been done for a foreign official, I will Issue the or der." With that order I started for Taku, went to the fort and gave the order to the officer in charge, who, after duly considering' its import, treated me right royally taking me through the fortifications and pointing1 out to me how utterly Impossible it would be for an enemy to attack successful ly its impregnable walls. It was cer tainly a wonderful fortress. I re turned to Taku and chartered a tug for one hundred dollars, which was to be in readiness at any time for one week, to meet the Trenton on her ar rival and convey the minister and his family to Tien-tsin. On the morning of the fourth day after the charter the man on the lookout discovered the ship. She had come in during the night and anchored about twelve miles from the mouth of the Pei-ho, and some four miles from the usual pass' age-way of incoming and out-going messengers of commerce. We were soon -under weigh and headed for the ship, and when the tug hove In. sight, the rejoicing on that ship was simply immense, as they had all been wonder ing hbw and when thay would reach the land-. As the tug came alongside the ship I mounted the side ladder and went on hoard. The first person to meet me was Admiral Davis, whom I knew, and greeting me very cordially he in vited me aft, where I Was introduced to the minister and his family, also to the officers of the ship. They were all grouped together, and such a woe begone company I have seldom seen. After the Introductions, the admiral said to me: "They don't want us here; you come With me." I went to his room and we had a glass of wine together, and it was then that the admiral informed me me that during the short time the Den bys had been on board the ship, the family had so endeared themselves to the officers of the ship that the part-, ing was like the separating of a fam ily. As a proof of the sincerity of their feelings, one of the. officers has since married the minister's daughter. The scene at parting was quite affect ing, and, considering the brief ac quaintance, wat something remark able. After leaving the Bhip, when a short distance away, minster's salute of thirteen guns was given, when the colors were dipped, and when hoisted again a consular salute of seven guns was fired In my honor, all of which were duly acknowledged by the recip ients. As we were passing the fort I threw out the preconcerted signal and up want about forty of tho dragon flags, to the astonishment of every body except myself. The evening of the minister's ar rival at Tien-tsin there was to be a grand banquet In honorof the treaty of peace between France and China, and as I had my ticket,,! telegraphed to Mr. Pethlck, my vice-consul, to ee cure tickets for Minister Denby and his sen. He did so, and we arrived-at the settlement in time for them to prepare ths banquet. The minister delivered his firs ajjeecji a ike Orient, and the favorable impression he creat ed he retained throughout his long official term. On the last steamer to arrive at Tien-tsin before the closing of the Pel-ho came the mall, which brought me v letter from President Grover Cleveland, informing me that my suc cessor had been appointed on October tenth, and from that tlmo my salary as .United States consul at Tien-tsin would no longer b paid by the gov ernment. To say that the announce ment was- a crusher but- faintly por trays my feelings,- when I read that letter and realised what it meant for me. My voucher for my October sal ary had been paid by the Hong Kong and Shanghai 'bank and I had sent it to my home, and here I was. thou sands of miles from mv native land, the land that I had left to fill a posi tion that I had never asked for, that came, to me unsolicited, the duties of which I had discharged with honor and fidelity, and to the entire satis faction (yt my government and all classes with whom I had had official dealings. The act of President Cleve land waa cruel. It was heartless, and will never be forgotten. After brooding over the letter for awhile I took it to the manager of the Hong Kong and Shanghai bank. He read It over deliberately. "Well." said he, "you can't leave Tien-tsln before next March." "I know that very well," said I, "but how am I to subsist in the mean time?" "Well," said he, "you bring your voucher to mo every month and you shall have your money, and if your government doesn't honor the drafts the Jiong Kong and Shanghai bank will cheerfully sustain the loss." Never in my life have I heard words that filled my heart So full of grate ful emotion as did those generous words of the manager of the Hong Kong and Shanghai bank, and the change in my feelings on entering and on leaving that bank I shall never for get as long as life lasts. The striking contrast in my treatment by the hank managers and by the president of the United States has caused me, during all these years, to cherish feelings of love and gratitude for the one. and bitter hatred for the other, and f may eay that there is not anothT man on earth for whom I would for a mo ment entertain such a feeling. When Viceroy LI Hung Shang heard that I was to be recalled he telepgraphed to the Chinese minister at Washington to have me retained If possible. The answer came back that the, appointee was a friend of the secretary of state and that he (the minister) did not feel at liberty to Interfere. I learned afterwards that the viceroy paid one hundred and Bix dollars for sending his dispatch, thus showing his friend ship, which I retained up to the time of his death. It was not until the last of March my successor put' In an appearance, my successor put In tn appearance, and his name was Smithers. He had been in Tien-tsin before and was known In the settlement. Now,' right here. I can't help saying a word re garding President Cleveland's man date. Here was this man receiving the salary of a United States consul for four months and unable to reach his destination. I was performing the duties of the office, for which I did not receive a dollar, and finally left to get to my home the best way I could. That was the case then, and if It has not been changed, it Is about time It was, and t Is, la my opinion, a dis grace to the country. However, I am not here to criticise the government, but to tell the story of my life. After turning over the consulate and all of its belongings to my successor on April first, I received a letter from Mrs. Detrlng, wife of the Impe rial commissioner of customs, in forming me that my friends in Tien tsin, knowing, that my seventieth birthday would arrive on the four teenth of the month, were exceedingly desirous that I should remain with them and give them the opportunity "to properly celebrate the three score and ten anniversary," and for me not to go to the hotel, but to make her house my home during my stay. With feel ings of heartfelt gratitude I Joyous ly accepted her kind Invitation, nor would I have exchanged places with my successor for all the emoluments of his office. The endearing friendships that had widened and lengthened during my official term had caused me to feel that nowhere on earth could be fVund a more lovable community than the one dwelling in the foreign settlement of Tien-tsin, and my fourteen days were full to overflowing with Joy and gladness. On the morning of my birthday, after receiving the congrat ulations of the family, we entered the breakfast room, and there, upon the table In front of my seat were the birthday presents from the family, and by tho side of my chair was a small table upon which had been placed a platter, and around the sides were seventy blue, white and red lighted tapers, and In the center a lighted wax candle which, according to German tradition (the family were German), was the "Light of Life," ana if In any wy It was extinguished before burning out it waa a bad omen. The tapers having ended their part in the display, the candle was placed on the mantleplece, where it burned en tirely out in the socket, amid the Joy and rejoicing of all present, even the servant joined in the animating scene. But the crowning glory of all my experience In China was at the theater on my birthday night. Every resi dent of the settlement. Including the missionaries, was there, and Colonel Denby, the United States minister, with his wife, came all the wav from Peking, to participate tn the ceremo-' nies, which was a distlngliShed honor that I most highly appreciated. V 'The ceremonies opened with music by the band, after which Mr. Detring, the Imperial commissioner of cus toms, delivered the opening address, which was full of kind, loving words, which I could feel came right from his heart, and to which I responded as best I could. Then was read the following address, which was beautifully printed on parchment, and after the reading it waa spread upon a table and every one present signed it,, and It now hangs in my parlor as one of the most precious treasures which I possess. TO GEORQE T. BROMLEY, Esq. Dear Mr. Bromley: We, the residents of the Foreign Settlement of Tien-tsin, are assembled to offer our congratulations on your seventieth birthday, to unite in wish ing that your years may be prolonged, that you may have health to enjoy your life and to diffuse around you the feelings of pleasure which we have al ways experienced In your society.

Your loving friends. (Here follow the signatures). While the addres was being signed I was overwhelmed hy the kind, lov ing expressions of those who gathered around me, and as I listened with a grateful appreciation I could not but think to myself, "What am I? Who am I. and whet have I done that I should be the recipient of such un bounded kindness and affection?" It was the event of my life, and It falls to the lot of but few men to be thus highly honored. I felt that It was much better to feel that I was leaving when thev wished me to stay, than to be st?--'-- when they wished mc to gv This I told the tatotl when hr asked me why my government should desire my return when I was such a favorite with the Chinese, and I had to add that my government had no idea what a fa vorite I was and after all it wouldn't male much difference. Tho time came when I had to bid a long farewell to my dear friends, and the ship that would bear me away was to leave at seven o'clock In the morn ing, which Involved the necessity of those of my frlneds who wished to say good-by to me on the event of my departure rising at six o'clock a. m., an unusual hour for rising in the Orient. But a large company of ladles and gentlemen was there, not withstanding the early hour, and the band was also there, and when the band commenced to play, all the Chi nes'; that were at work on the ships and lighters on the river quit their labors and rushed up to know what It was all about. After a verv affec tionate leave-taking, the head-lines of the steamer were cast off, and the ship commenced to swing with the tide. The passengers, knowing that the demonstration was In my honor, had given me the after part of the up per deck to myself, and aa I stood there alone the band struck up the "Swingle Waltz." and when it came to the chorus the ladies and gentlemen all locked arma and swung to the music. But with the sceond chorus enme the mpst affecting scene 1 have ever witnessed, for there on that bund were all those ladles kneeling in a circle with locked arms, keeping time with the music until the last note sounded. Never In my life has any event affected me as did that farewell scene on the shore of the Pel-ho, and as long as I live wil that parting be cherished as a previous memory. I afterward heard from those who were present that they had never before seen such a look of wonder and bewll. derment depicted on the Chinese coun tenance as was exhibited by those na tives when they saw the gentlemen and ladles kneeling down. They made up their minds that I was some sort of a Joss Pidgin and that I was re ceiving homage. And it waa thua that I bade a last farewell to a people among whom I had passed through the most important years of mr life, and whose love and affection I prise beyond the power of language to ex press. Dr. Osborn once asked me why I did not write a book on China. He said from what he had seen and known of me. he waa quite sure I could write the most readable book ever published. Judge Sawyer told me that same thing before I left San Francisco, but I thought then that It Is much better to have people think you can write a book and not write one, than to write one and have peo ple think you ought not to have writ ten It.
