He was hitched to a wagon and
kicked through pure cussedness
without any one troubling him.
He created spectacle, with his
heels flying in the air, paving the
ground and snorting. This animals
conduct reminded us of some high
kickers among the human family.
They kick at any and everything in
sight, proposed and prospective. If
you start to build cotton factory
they kick and if you don't they
kick and say you have no enter
prise; if you advocate public im-
provements they kick and if you
don't they kick ; if you let blind
tigers take the town they kick and
if they are arrested they kick; i:
you want to build a new church
they kick and if you don't they
kick; if the preacher breaches too
long they kick and il be breaches
short they kick and say there's
mot much in HIM; if the wife dress
es elegantly they kick at the
expense, and if she doesn't they
kick at her slovenness and in fact
they are high kickers from Kicker
town and would kick if they were
going to be hung.

mankind is muckle weak" and
habits aud character change under
the temptations that beset modern
life. Many whose moral strength
has resisted ordinary allurements
are borne down by an unusual and
unanticipated pressure. The man
who yesterday was held up as a
model of rectitude, is to-day discov-
cred to nave yielded to that insidi-
ously tempting tallacy, that he may
borrow some Of the funds with
which he is entrusted. The first
false step taken, his course is the
too familiar one Of larger and larger
borrowings, until exposure and
ruin come. That is the opinion of
a security company.

You often hear people speak of
"the good old times" of the past.
Why? Because time, like distance,
lends enchantment-they have for
gotten their struggles for bread in
those days, only remembering those
times as happy from the mere fact
that they managed to exist. The
wealth we once manipulated ard
the pleasure we enjoyed are msgni-
fed Observation-Disclosures, they
cost nothing, so all may own them !;
they are not eliminating, therefore
innocent amusement. If we can
find any satisfaction in the oppress>
ed belief that we were once happy
we should work it like a gold mine.

Industrial Ruildinc.

MT. James D. Dewells plan for the erection of an industrial building or convention hall in New Haven is out lined as follows:
 My idea is for building of one sto- ry, much like the plan of our Second regiment armory, only larger and with one tier of galleries and a big stage. It should seat at least 10000 people. It could be put up at an outlay of from $200 000 to $25000 and buying the land out of the city the outlay would not be very great. I believe the street rail roads should go into the enterprise. While I believe 1t would be difficult to launch such an undertaking by means of stock company the street railroads could make a success of the enterprise, for they would get the money back in the patronage that would surely come.
 The electric road along which the building is erected could run freight cars to carry exhibits to the building at times when great expositions wera held. That would prove great con venience to the managers of these ex- positions.

Rowe, Baltimore oyster deal CT, had his pocket picked Saturday af- ternoon of pocketbook containing $435 in bills and several checks to the amount of S3,000 made payable to him. self, while he was attending the mem- orial services in the Grand avenue Con- gregational church. He notified the police yesterday noon that his pocket book and the checks had been returned to him through the mail. The money is still missing. Mir. Rowe is spending the summer with Jacob P. Merrow at il Clinton avenue, Fair Haven. The let ter containing the checks was returned to the Union Trust company, by whom they were returned to J.
