Jersey, a canvas jacket, a pair of

one, the canvas jacket, is uniform in

IHE millennium must beagood ways

OF Christians in China. Unhappily,

The Sermon.

The text, beloved, lis from the saying of
the philosopher HENS, "Let the Winter
of earth be the Summer time of your
mind" The ancient worthy had doubt
less in his mind the fact that, when Win
ter time comes, there comes with it, to
most of US, greater leisure for mental i'm
provement. Now, beloved, let me ex-
hort you not to follow certain kinds of
animals in these coming Winter months.
Don't be like the woodchuck, which
crawls into its burrow, pulls the hole in
after it and sleeps until Spring. You can
find better business during these months
than sucking your claws and waiting for
Summers returning heat. Don't follow
the example of the crows who congregate
together to discuss the cause (caws) of
crowdom and to mediate upon how they
shall be able to capture tarred corn in the
farmers field, next Spring. You can do
something more worthy of humanity
than picking neighbours character to
pieces and planning how you can over
reach some one ia a bargain. And don't
be like the mice, who will amuse them
selves chasing one another up and down
the house behind the walls, with no ap-
parent purpose save to exercise them
selves and keep people awake who need
their sleep. You ought to find better
business, these Winter evenings, than
counting spots on cards and depending
for success on fortunate shuffies. Make
your Winter time of study, of mental
growth. Read of our dead Lowell. Study
of our country. Acquaint yourselves
with the worlds history. Broaden the
horizon of your life by study of the
Crusades. Get some mechanical toy and
learn about steam or electricity. God
gave us Winter time for study. We must
improve our minds. Learn about the
flowers of your section. Study medical
botany Investigate the scientific dis
coveries of the times and my word for it
you will bless old HENS for his sage adj
vice to you. Vale.

TRUMBULL.
''CLAIsI IT ALL, YOU FOOL"

''In conducting case in court, how
much is it safe to claim?" modestly in
quired young practitioner of an old
lawyer. "How much? Why claim it all
you Internal fool?" said the old fellow!
This was undoubtedly the opinion of
your correspondent from Trumbull in
the BEE of October 8. Let US look at
his statements for moment. Speaking
of the controversy as to who was first Sc
iectman, he says, each party had de-
cision in its favor from jurists of equal
eminence, fairness and ability" And he
adds, Nothing was settled Now for
the facts and l will leave it to your read
ers to decide. When the votes were
counted, Mr. Plumb was found to have
more votes than Mr. Mallett and was de-
clared first selectman by the moderator.
But some of the Democrats were not sat-
isfied and induced Mr. Mallett to bring
the case before Judge Phelps of the Su-
perior court. who, although saying that
he did not understand what the law
meant and expressing a wish that it could
have been taken to the Supreme court,
gave hesitating decision in Mr. NAL
let's favor. Mr. Plumb appealed to the
Supreme court in full bench, with the ex-
ception of Judge Seymour, who had been
indiscreet enough to give his opinion on
the statements of the friends of Mr. NAL
lett and was of course disqualified TO sit
on the case. After a thorough examina-
tion of all the points in the case, as well
as the law, and listening to counsel on
both sides, the judges reversed the decis-
ion of the judge of the lower court and
declared Mr. Plumb the first selectman of
Trumbull. And yet this writer in the
BEE declares that nothing was settled
Will some one please tell this leading po-
litical star that the Supreme court is sup
posed to be higher court than the SUI
perior court and settles all errors of the
lower courts by reversal of its decisions.
Now as to reimbursing these men. He
says, "if one is, the other should be- /
cannot see it in that light. Mr. Plumb
was declared first selectman by the mod
orator of the meeting and, of course, he
was first seleetman de facto; until the
case was decided, Mr. Mallett contested
his right TO the office. He, being an Off
Ger of the town, had no other course but
to defend himself in the office intrusted
to him by his fellow townsmen and the
town should pay the expense. With the
other, it is altogether different. His is q
voluntary act, for his own benefit. II he
loses, he has no redress Justice and

MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
III musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure Of Miss b,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use Of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tons, and lingering coughs, it IS an
unequaled remedy. When compll-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use Of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy

The Corn Song.

Heap high the farmers Wintry hoard!
Heap high the golden corn!
No richer gift has Autumn poured
From out her lavish horn.
Through wales OF grass and meads OF flower
Our ploughs their burrows made
While on the hills the sun and showers
OF changeful April played.
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain,
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long bright days of June,
Its leaves grew green and fair,
And waved in hot mid Summers noon
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now, with Autumn's moonlit ewes,
Its harvest time has come;
We pluck away the frosted leaves
And bear the treasure home,
Let vapid idlers Toll in silk
Around their costly board;
Give us the bowl OF samp and milk
By homespun beauty poured.
Where'er the wide old kitchen hearth
Sends up its smoky curls
Who will not thank the kindly earth
And bless our farmer girls.
Then shame on all the proud and vain
Whose folly laughs to scorn
The blessing of our hardy grain,
Onr wealth of golden corn.
So let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us for his golden corn,
Send up our thanks to God. Whittier.

in sin and abide in the ordinary duties of
prayer, never prays as he ought. A tru-

The man whose ideal is not above his
own best performance will steadily de-

Character without conduct is like the
