BOOM FOR BULKELEY,

Hartford G. A. R. Post Support Him
for Department Chief.
petition of considerable conse-
ouence in Grand Army circles is now
In circulation among the several hun
cred members of Robert o. Tyler past
of Hartford. 1t embodies a request to
Ex-Governor Morgan G. Buckley to the
effect that his name may be used in
the annual encampment of the Grand
Army for the commandershp of the
Connecticut department. This course
Is being taken with full recognition
of the fact that Senior Vice Command
er A. W. Converse of Windsor Locks
will not be candidate for promotion
In the printed circulars that were
used last year supporting the candi-
dacy of Senior Vice Commander Con-
verse, 1t was stated with his consent
and authority, that he would not be a
candidate for the chief position in the
department One of the ideas involved
was the discontinuance of the old ro-
tation rule, which sent a man through
the offices after the first step was gain
ed, whether he was fitted for com
membership or not.
A similar position was taken two or
three years ago by Junior Vice Com
mander MCGEE of Middletown. He
stipulated that he would not be a can
didate for the upper offices. The effect
is that the department is now left free
to go outside of the narrow list of Of
ficers and men to take the leadership.

one of the most influential members OF

give the order a dashing admlnlstra-
ton. The commander of the depart
ment is obliged to give good deal Oh

able to spare the necessary hours and
his visitations would be of unprece-

Tho they say it is all for His glory,
It's good deal more for their own,
That they peddle their petty schemes,
and blate and babble and groan.
l sometimes think it were best, and
a man were little to blame,
Should he pass on his silent way nor
mix with the noisy shame
Glider.
But we may not be idle, and the
Lord win not do all alone We may
not lean back in our chairs, wave our
arms and shout the chorus of Ameri-
cans; Sirs this is a great country!-
and think our duty done We have
more to do than shout, and sing and
pray; for Diety does not cast ballots,
neither does He make and enforce our
laws. He gives US fields, but we must
cultivate them. He furnishes re-
sources, but we must develop them. He
affords opportunities, but we must use
them. He works for man, but through
man.
But to-day we turn aside from these
unsettled problems, and open our eyes
to the bright and good. We have safe
ly passed through an exceptionally
critical political campaign. Repudia :
ton, lawlessness, division and disaster
have been. averted, and our stars and
stripes still float for intelligence, integ-
rity, law, protection, and union. For
this triumph, made possible only by the
united efforts of patriotic Americans of
all parties, we give profound and I'M
feigned thanks to God, and pray that
His special blessing may attend him
who in such way, and in such time
as this has been called to the respon-
sibilities of the presidency.
I'VE have been favored with health,
peace and plentiful harvests; our rela-
tons with all foreign countries are
friendly; we have enjoyed improved ed
ucational facilities; our standards of
scholarship are advancing; men who
stand for what is right, and can't be
frightened or bought are increasing
continued triumph of law; returning
commercial prosperity; growth of the
kingdom of Righteousness; extension of
Christian fraternity; the presence of
God Himself with His people.
Let our thanksgiving be sincere; let
it be joyous, free and fervent. Let our
reunions about our festal boards be
rich in good cheer, and reflect spirit
of happy thankfulness to the one who
has been SO good and gracious to all
And throughout the coming year may
He let His favor rest upon our land
and grant us peace, and plenty, and the
| best type of prosperity"

WEARY WILLIE LOST HIS SHOES.
He Fell Ten Feet, but Landed in the
Soft Sand.


Soft Sand.
An unknown tramp who said that
he was en- route to Bridgeport fell out
of his shoes last evening about o'clock
and at the same time he fell into the
cellar which is being dug for the new
Osterweiss building on Church street,
adjoining Polls theater Those who
saw the accident say that the fellow,
who had fair sized jag about him,
stopped at the Italian nut vendors
stand, close by the wall of the new
cellar, and tried to take some chestnuts
that were being roasted. The tramp's
foot slipped. In an instant he was in a
heap on pile of sand ten feet below.
When the fellow started on his down.
ward flight he had pair of old shoes,
partially tied, on his feet, and pair
wrapped in paper, under his arm.
When the officers, who rescued him,
found the man, he was minus the shoes
that were on his feet when he left the
pavement.
Fortunately he took a firm hold on
the bundle under his arm as he pursued
his journey below. 1t was found with
him and intact when Patrolmen Lau-
tenbach, Ahern and Hackett, who soon
reached the floor of the cellar by means
of a ladder, found the man sitting on
the pile of sand, which was but few
feet from a large block of stone. The
tramp would not give his name. He
was uninjured and continued on his
way to Bridgeport.
