LIFE's LESSON.


With what madness, untold sadness,
Spin wo the tangled threads OF life;
With what worry, undue hurry,
And such eagerness for strife.
Do we go Keeling, devoid OF feeling,
Save for self, and self alone,
Through all the day. in life's pathway,
A noble hope unknown.
Tread We fearless. blind and fearless,
On many an aching heart;
While II lies bleeding we. unheeding,
Race on as swift as at the start;
knowing never. II. or ever,
The thing we seek to clasp
Shall finally, In security,
Rest in our eager grasp.
And then, at last, when life Is past,
And we hear the breakers roar
On the great sea OF eternity.
As they dash upon its shore
Too late we learn our chief concern
Were something else save trying
To pluck the flower, born OF the hour,
That fades while We are dying

DOUBLE TRAGEDY MYSTERY

Explained After Twenty five Years-How
Two Bruisers Were Murdered in New
Canaan-A Letter From Oregon Tells the
Story.
Canaan July 24-To-day a double
tragedy Of twenty-five years ago was
explained by the receipt of a letter at
the office of the Litchfield County Lead
er, newspaper, from oregon.
On June 10 last Solomon Barton, a
Canaan farmer, was excavating for "a
building on portion of his land His
workmen one day unearthed two human
skeletons, and considerable talk was
caused by the discovery. Old settlers
recalled indistinctly that many years
mysterious disappearance of two men,
and readily connected the discovery
with that case.
The case is made clear to-day by the
receipt of the above mentioned letter.
Fully twenty-five years ago, while the
old Connecticut Western railroad, now
the Philadelphia Reading and New
England, was In process of construction,
"a large gang of workmen was employed
In the building of the road and for a
considerable period made Canaan their
Headquarters. In that gang of workmen
there were two notorious toughs, known
as big Mike" Houlihan and Patrick
Ryan. big Mike" was a giant in stat
ure and was the terror of the whole
crowd. One day in a drunken brawl
the two terrors cleaned out the gang.
A few days later both of them disap-
peared and no trace of them was ever
found. The letter received to-day was
written by Antonio Slattery. He was
one of the members Of the gang and has
since been living in the west. In a west
ern paper he read of the finding of the
two skeletons on June IS. The descrip,
ton of the skeletons was such that he
was sure that they were the bones of
big Mike and Ryan. Accordingly he
wrote a letter to the Canaan post office.
He said that few days after the brawl
mentioned above che worsted toughs
banded together and murdered Houli-
han and Ryan and buried them in the
field where they were found. Slattery
says he was in no way connected with
the murder, but he knew Of 1t at the
time.

embassy at Washington, two years
ago. Sin Augustus is great favorite
at court. His wife wastthe Countess
Won Hohenthal, who, for a short time
previous to her marriage, was maid of
honor to Empress Frederick Of Ger
many. Sir Augustus is son of a
brother of the first Marquis of Angle
sey, and his own son, who, as stated
above, was formerly at Washington, in
herited some years ago quite consid-
cradle fortune from an American
maiden lady, a Miss Bennett of Boston,
who was in the habit of spending her
winters at Rome and who had taken a
fancy to the boy and his parents.
Another most attractive member of
the Paget family is the ever beauti-
full Marchioness Of Hastings, now the
wife of Sir George Chetwynd, and who
has just presented at court her daugh-
ter by her second marriage, the differ
ence between the ages of mother and
daughter being so slightly apparent as
to convey the impression that the Mar
chioness was the sister rather than the
mother of Miss Chetwynd, Indeed, the
Warehouses seems to have dicovered
the same secret OF perennial youth as
that of the Princess Of Wales.
Among the families allied by mar
riage to that of the Pagets are those
Of Llrd Combermere, the Ea.! Of
Winchelsea, the Duke of Argyll, Lord
Sidney, Lord Windsor, Lord Bagot,
Lord Conyngham, Lord STAFFORD, Lord
Templemore, the Duke of Richmond,
and Sir Edward Colebrooke, who is
married to sister Of Mr.. Almeric Paget.
The Colebrookes are an old Kentish
family, the founder of which represented
Great Britain in Switzerland nearly two
centuries ago.
The family estates, comprise sixty
thousand acres, the two superb country
seats of Beaudesert and Plas-Newydd,
and the titles of Marquis of Anglesey,
| Earl of Exbridge, and Baron Paget
The family motto is per il suo con-
trario" By It's Opposite), and the crea-
lions are as follows:-The barony, jan
uary, 1852; the earldom, May. 1884, and
the marquisate, July, 1915, Immediately

DRIVING OUT THE BEETLES
YORK OF EXTERMINATING THE
ELM TREE PESTS IN THIS CITY.

one Thousand Trees Treated With the
Kerosene Emulsion Outside of the Public
Parks-suroundins Towns Are Doing
Nothing.
The park department has been work
ing nearly week to drive the beetle
pest from New Ravens beautiful elms.
Superintendent of Parks Kelly with a
gang of men went to work last Thurs
day afternoon, the board of public
works having voted an appropriation of
$500 for that purpose.
Last week was devoted to the elms
in the public parks. This week Mr.. KEEL
ly and his men have been at work on
the ems in the streets included in the
section bounded by Elm, Temple, Brad
ley and State streets. A thousand trees
in that square have been scraped and
treated with the kerosene emulsion. The
work will continue in that section of
the city the remainder of the week,
and the appropriation, it is thought,
will not be exhausted before two weeks.
superintendent Kelly, when he re-
turned from his days work last even
ing, said it was doubtful if the work
in this city would effectually extermin-
ate the pest, which thrives everywhere
just now.
Some measures have been taken in
Hartford and Bridgeport to kill the
beetles, but in the smaller towns little
has been done in that direction.
For this reason Superintendent Kelly
thinks that the beetles in Ansonia, Mil
ford, Woodbridge, North Haven, Derby
and other towns will readily find their
way to this city and renew the attack
on our elms. He thinks that the prop
er way to exterminate the pest is for the
state to take the matter in hand.
A large amount of work has been
done by property owners in killing the
beetles. The demand for the kerosene
emulsion at the supply house of the
board of public works shows this to be
a fact. Many trees have been scraped
and treated by citizens. In the western
part of the city many trees have been
cared for in this way. In West Haven,
too, property holders have had trees in
front of their houses treated according
to Prof. Jenkins formula
The cooperation on the part of the
people is greatly appreciated by the
park department. There is plenty of
the emulsion at the supply house. and
anyone who wants it can get it for the
asking.

was last week found guilty Of murder
in the second degree, was sentenced this
morning to wenty years imprisonment
at hard labor.
The prisoner pleaded non vult to the
indictment for atrocious assault upon
Carrot Cochran, the student who was
with Oil in the fraeas, and got ten
years more, but the sentences are to
run concurrently, and therefore the first
one only counts.
In pronouncing sentence the Judge said
