express clerk Of me the other day. tl had addressed the package on one side c other side. also. ssYes,n replied "Do \ you want to pay twice? Then don't d mark the package on that side. You
 are very liable to be charged twice for f. an express package if you mark it on a both sides. After package is paid for in advance, or at the point of shipment,
 we mark 1t paid on the side of the ad- dress. When the billing clerk gets that 2 package, the chances are just even that he is presented with the side which is | not marked paid, and he bills collect Never address both sides of the package. 2
 open, the bill accompanying it will tell
 the congressman where it should go."
 THEY tell good story of Waterbury
 boy and his friend from Naugatuck, students at Yale. They started out to
 see the sights in the City of Films, few evenings ago, and after ''seefhg several meeting and sat down among the faith
 full, The speaker exhorted his hearers to walk in the path of righteousness and
 avoid sin; to be sober, industrious and
 honest. He concluded by inviting any
 one present who desired, to come for
 ward and relate his experience. The
 sinner from Naugatuck was on the
 Istage in atwinkling. He told how he ] had strayed from the fold, but had been ) saved. He referred several times to his | friend, who had led an unholy life, but |
 who was now resolved upon reform. In | response to an invitation the Water | bury student then groped his way to the | platform, and made a speech, after |
 which the two went out into the dark ness of the night and took the shortest
 route for Heublein's. THE man who unfolds the plot of
 play before the actors who are paid to
 do it, have a chance to earn their
 salaries, is an unmitigated nuisance.
 One such occupied good seat at "The
 Old Homestead" and made life miserable r for all within earshot, and four rows of al seats was about the range of his leather . lungs. He explained all about the play, 9 reaching the denouement at the end of
 the second act. The lady accompany
 ing the fellow must have been bored. Either that, or she is deeply in love.
 a So you have decided not to move
 this spring? You will stay where you are? Happy man Happy family You h have quit house hunting, but you are j. glad you made the search? You thought r. your own house was bad enough and l. dear enough until you went up and y down the highways and byways for a e better one, in 8 better street, at the @ same rent, but you couldn't-and 30 you l. went to the agent who put a bill on 'e your house and told hIm you sur g rendered, and that he must take down " his sign at once. Of course he was glad h. to do it; but his ghastly grin, when you le told him you had decided to remain,
 made you want to slay him. It took b. just the experience you have had to dis h. cover that ''there's no place like home, '' r. in 8 rented house, when you have found Id out that of all the other houses to let at y, rentals similar to that you are paying, k- worse. Besides, you know, if you b. moved, your carpets would not fit the
 other place; neither would the window od shades; and the carpets, some of them, in are pretty thin to take up, although al they will yet last some time where they or are. There are good many things to y. consider about moving. Aren't you Ir glad you are mot in 1t" this spring?
 A No religious ceremony is moro i'm. Ill pressive than congregational singing de and 1t is a wonder that it's promotion If e. the different places ot orship. At the
 close of the mems mission in St Ann's Il church last Sunday evening, the Mag ve nificat" was sung, the entire congrega n. tion joining in the antiphon. Although ar the voices were untrained the psalm lg was well rendered. It struck me al or once as being 8 beautiful form e- been neglected. AproPOs of this, news to comes from Rome that Pops Leo has or ty dered the congregation of rites to take of into consideration the question of pro 'rt duclng an improvement and uniformity in in sacred music. The cardinals have n- accordingly, invited all the Catholic musical celebrities of Europe and Amer It. ica to give their opinions on the subject ht A CASE which was tried In the police IT, court Thursday, before Judge COwelt a has excited considerable comment re George Carroll, charged with obstruct- ve ing u special officer while in the dis
 charge of his duty, was fined $25. Car dr roll claims to be a victim of circum ell stances and has taken the case to tho sh superior court. He says he was on hil re way home from church when he saw an the crowd gathering and stopped tC ed learn what the trouble was about. Ht Od arm was seized by man standing neal
 Carroll, but took no hand in the affair an Indeed he did not know who was being on arrested. He was simply curious, anC nd as a result he was arrested. Carroll i, se a young man who does not drink anC a- quests that any body who saw him iI
 the crowd that night will kindly make lk himself known, so that he will be able 10. to prove his innocence before the supe sr, rior court.

 ot HAD five minute talk with John ne Moriarty during the week in regard t. ID ID the cong ressional boom which his many ut friends are nursing. He laughed good
 naturedly when questioned, but begged n- to be excused from talking for pubIi- n; cation. MT Moriarty would be a unique 1;, figure in congress. He is a self-nade all man, with all that that implies. No &l,nA I,<~ sa
