He was an undertaken grim.
And life held never joy for him:
For in the town year he'd been.
And not corpse had come to him.
And yet he was the only one
BY whom the death work could be done.
For the little town was scarce alive.
And competition could not thrive.
So as he pondered drear one day
He these wise words did softly say:
THE air is pure, the doctors good.
And no one could die il he would:
And since see that no one dies.

Straightway he wrote full page ad
In hand that would drive printer mad.
And unto the Weekly Boom he came.
Where the editor. Bill Jones. by name
Was wondering how his family could

When in the undertaken walked

For my reputation is at stake"
The printer took it. and one poor fool
Killed himself with column rule;
When the other one on the copy looked
He gave one groan and his goose was

The undertaken buried them all
With finest trappings from hearse to pail.
So the money into his Golfers rolled.
And to the people the doctor told
That dreadful disease, astonishment,
Had killed these people. and aquiver went
Throughout the village, and on that night
Some twenty people died from fright.
The undertaken gathered them in
And loaded himself with cleaning tin.
And queer look comes into his eyes
And he says lit pays to advertise.

TIE BEE has heretofore called atten. tion to the high handed demands of the various traction or street railway com- panies about the state, and has emphasiz- ed the need of cities and towns looking out for their rights. DrLyman Abbott,s paper, The Outlook, which is noted for it's editorial comment on topics of the hour, makes this sensible observation There is no more reason why a trolley railroad should run through a public road than steam-railroad. Asa matter of fact, the trolley-roads, in the present state of electrical development, are prob ably necessity for few years to come. but if they wish rights, let them buy them as other roads do. Let them buy away from the roads which are needed for other purposes, and which are practi. eally ruined when the trolley appears upon them. It is high time that private citizens took some measures to protect their own rights. It is high time that communities ceased to give away with. out remuneration valuable franchises.

THE POPULAR FAIRFIELD ACADEMY,
 Fairfield academy sends greeting in the shape of new and attractive cir cular. It opens upon two views of the home, which only lack the lively boys we are so used to see frollicking about the spacious grounds to make them true to life. Among the instructors we notice Miss Hollands name. The school and it's patrons are to be congratulated upon the re-engagement of Miss Hol- land. She is an earnest and progress sive teacher, her normal training hay ing thoroughly equipped her in all the modern methods of teachings. To see her in the school room is to realize that teaching to her is business, a profes- sion, and not as in so many cases, step- ping stone-a means to some other end. Beside the primary work, Miss Hol- land conducts the drawing and physi- cal culture classes of Prof Brewers s room and great advance was made last year in these departments.

Ihose who have elm trees they wish to
 protect from the depredations of the elm
 tree beetle will be interested in timely
 word from Dr Jenkins in the Connecticut
 Agricultural Experiment Station. In
 writing to the New Haven Register Dr
 Jenkins says: "A simple and very effect i've treatment for the elm leaf beetle
 which observation and experiment justify tnis station in recommending is the fol. lowing: Scrape the trunks carefully.
 Tack one end of a strip of cotton, eight
 or 10 inches wide Ca dark color is least noticeable), on the trunk of the elm a few feet above the ground. Draw this band around the tree, putting under it layer of hay an inch thick, all the way around, drawing the band tightly enough to hold the hay, and pin the end with A couple of safety pins. Examine these bands ev- cry day or two. When the worms come down, most of them will lodge in this hay-band and change there to the pupal state, turning to bright color. Then most of them may be killed by hammer l Ing the band with malIet or block Of 1 wood. The band Is then unpinned, the | hay, which may contain good many ! pupae still alive, is put In pan to he [ burned, fresh hay is supplied as before And the band replaced.

In this model town of ours-in many
 respects-we know nothing about "the
 village gossip" Certainly notl But
 over in Ridgefield things are different.
 At any rate Editor Bross says so in his
 usual bright and entertaining wav.
 Writing on this subject he says "You don't want to believe everything you near in village, for half the stuff ped dled is bosh, pure and simple. The rumor was flying all over the village. last Saturday, to the effect that Col H. K. Scott, who has been in the drug business here many years, had sold out. A reporter of The Press approached the Colonel on the subject, and found that the only foundation for the story so generally circulated was that he had re- ceived letter from party asking if he would sell. Some people know more about the affairs of their neighbors than they do their own, and these people are or little use to any community. They are either causing trihing annoyances by their gibble gabble, or they are positively able to cause business venture to fall through by their willingness to report false stories. It Is about time to squelch the village gossip. And one thing queer about him Is this-that he is often not a
 him" at all, but ''her." And when he is 'her," how he, she or it, does make the story rumble around the town. By the way, there is law against slan- der, and 1t might be well for some one to make an example of the gossip-monger. l Rldgefield has no use for him, her, or it, | as the case may be-"

In Litchield County
 WATERFOWL.

l HARVESTING THE FORCES OF NATURE. In the comparative merits of steam
 and water when used as power is sub- 1 iect worthy of consideration. In a case | of steam vs. water, W. A. Leigh acts as defendant for the latter and demon l strates the fact that when water is har- | messed right there is tremendous force
 in it. ' Nestling among the peaks of the Gasceon mountains is a large body of
 water which is almost natural lake and | from this sheet of water MT Leigh gets
 ample power to run the machinery in
 his stone cutting works far below on the
 plain. To be brief, this pond is formed by making dam few feet high and about the same broad across the lower end of the huge basin. In short time
 this dam will be raised four feet, then
 the water will cover 13 or II acres and will be about half mile long. From the bottom of the dam to the nozzle of
 the motor in the shop is drop of 300
 feet, notwithstanding this fact the noun
 tain towers all of 100 feet above the level of the water and affords an unlim- ited water shed. These slopes are cov-
 cred with timber which make the water
 supply almost never failing. From the
 dam to the shop the water is carried
 through five inch pipe, three inch and
 inch and half respectively and a jet
 three-eights of an inch is shot on to the
 wheel of the motor, which is scarcely
 three feet across. This furnishes Mir
 Leigh with about 9-horse power. When
 the dam is raised five inch pipe will be
 put in all the way from dam to the mo
 tor and the jet will be about a twenty
 fifth of that making about 40 horse pow
 CT. Above the pond and about a dozen
 rods away there is huge bank of extra
 quality gravel which is used in making a
 dike therefore there is no trouble in get
 ting material for the dam and dike. In
 1900 feet of pipe there are only two el
 bows and these will be taken out soon. There was at one time three other elbows
 which were moved and gain of 9 per cent in power was the result. MT Leigh has experimented good deal with this kind of power and finds that the straight
 CT he gets his pipe the better. Water, unlike steam, has practically no elasti- city and every time it turns corner it loses power. There are many places in western Connecticut just like this where
 water might be harnessed for the benefit of man at no more expense than at MT Leigh's. About 9 miles north of here above the village of Burrville slumbers tremendous power, far away up among the mountains there is large body of water which if brought into use like that above MT Leigh's could furnish power for running the factories of Tor rington through the dynamo, but this power has been asleep since the Borden condensed milk factory moved and will | continue to pose as sleeping | beauty. Mir Leigh also uses the water for irrigatiDg purposes.-[T [Thomaston | Express.l MT Leigh is the we'll known monument man at Reynolds Bridge, l whose advertisement appears in THE BEE from week to week. His place is located not far from the Watertown line. and the above article will interest his many friends in this section.
