The Nebraska Sufferers.

The NEWS has published several ap- peals for aid in behalf of the Nebraska sufferers. Cansanites responded promptly and literally to the call for clothing. and shipped several barrels of serviceable garments. But the appeal for money to prevent starvation, we are very sorry to say, met with very little re- sponse So far as we can learn the total contribution from all sources was just six dollars. No collection was talk en in the churches in this town although such plan was urged. It seems to us that said churches missed golden op- portunity for the exercises of christian charity. They apparently forgot the parable of the "Good Samaritan. They needed not the cry of the starving peo- pie in Nebraska; they apparently forgot the words of Christ as recorded in St. Matthew XIV, fl and 45.
 We are always ready and willing to commend the churches for their good works-and they are mauy-but to us it seems that in this instance they failed to rise to the occasion. Collections for the Nebraska sufferers ought to have been taken in each church. Perhaps 8 large amount of money might not have been raised, nevertheless 1t would have shown an interest in suffering human ity. It would have manifested com mendable spirit and a belief in the brotherhood uf man. It Is not yet too late to help the sufferers. and we hope the churches in this town will do some thing. Churches in other towns in Connecticut have not turned deaf ear to the appeal of the Nebraska sufferers. Read the following from the New Mill ford Gazette of March %:
 The following generous contributions for the Nebraska sufferers have been re- ceived at The Gazette office.
 Amount from New Preston collected and sent by Rev E Evans. S54 % Washington Congl church, 50 50 Warren Sunday school, 10 00 New Preston Hill Cong1 church Il 00 Loyal Temperance Union, Harold

speculatlons About Them by the Other
Passengers In the Car.
1t was their brief, uncrinolined dress
skirts that drew the eyes Of the mp to
date girl. A messenger boy tried to fig-
ure out how their hair staid up with
nothing so feminine as hairpins in evil
dence. The manlike cuffs peeping above
the dogskin gloves attracted the atten-
ton of a business man, while a dude
started as he caught sight of their we'll
built boots. Even the conductor stared
hard at them.
One of the girls was not so far gone
in her m%asculinity $ the other. The
twist of velvet in her hat showed a lin
gering leaning toward the feminine, but
the eyeglasses, the umbrella and the
armful of books were common to both.
All unconscious of the. interest they in
spired, the two buried themselves in
their notebooks. The more masculine
planted her feet we'll apart and used her
knees as an umbrella rack. This didn't
enhance the grace Of her abbreviated
dress skirt. Every now and then she
f1ourished q liberal handkerchief that
was in curious contrast to the lacy shred
tucked into the up to date girls card
case. "Who and what were they any
way?" the passengers asked themselves
Women suffragists. thought the
business mar.
"Some Of those dreadfully strong
minded creatures that want to vote, ="
said the up to date girl to herself.
'Jingol All they need is trousers, /"
was the mental remark of the messenger
boy, while the dudes feeble brain regis
tered some such impressions as these:
"Aw-I've heard of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, thank goodness,
I've never-aw-never WEAKLY seen one
-aw-met"-
just here the more masculine girl
looked up from her notebook.
do you think disintegration in
typhus possible?" she asked her compan-
ion in loud, clear tones.
why, yes, replied the other. "If
we accept the globular theory. you
know"
The mystery was solved. They were
medical students. All the other passen-
gers drew a sigh of relief. except the
dude. He had vanished into thin air.

Gently given birth to a calf. 1t being

had a matched roof and was scooped
out Of the hillside a short distance from
the house.
lone night q bear, having smelled the
presence of a COW and calf, mounted the
roof of the shed and proceeded to force
an entrance by scratching through the
thatch. The COW at the same time de-
tected the presence Of the bear and held
herself i'll readiness to receive the in
