------------------------ 4 LIFE S1TED, BUT

The teaching of experience is that it IS wise for a man to be good and thoughtful enough to carry a Bible in his left breast pocket Then when somebody carelessly or deliberately shoots at a man the Bible will stop the bullet and save a mans life.
 There is happy home in these days in Newark. New Jersey. The little boy of the family, who has been so far brought up in the way he should go. has just had narrow escape from death. A bullet, seeking whom it might slay, came across the little boy. It would have slain him had he not been protected by his habit of carrying a precious book in his pocket. The bull let hit the book and was thus pre- vented from being the death of the lit tie boy. But we must tell the truth. The precious book that saved the prec- ious life was not Bible. It was a dime novel All that remains to be said Is that there is no moral to this story, a1id that 1t would have been much more satisfactory if the little New Jersey boy had been saved from death in the usual way. But perhaps it is too much to expect that a little New Jersey boy should carry a Bible In his pocket. Lit tie Connecticut boys all carry Bibles in their pockets and if one of them should get into the path of bullet his life would be saved respectfully and mor- ally

THERE IS IN ANrI-pooL 1Aw.

Pools were openly sold at the Char ter Oak races in Hartford Monday, and nothing has been done about 1t. The general expectation apepars to be that nothing will be done about it. But there will be something said about it, and the following, from the New Britain Herald, is a specimen of what will be said about 1t: In this case by passing the law those who are opposed to pool selling were placated while the others were told that 1t would never be observed. We presume that the pools sold were disposed of on this under standing and we presume it is the idea to continue to sell them. while those who are opposed can read the law for consolation. There Is altogether too much of this in Connecticut legislation and it is time that the practice came to an end. It breeds such supreme contempt for all law that the indiffer- ence often extends to the breaking of laws that the General Assembly really meant should be enforced. What we ought to have is an appendix to the statutes which explains which of them Is in operation and tells us which are the dummies.
 Possibly those whose business it is to try to punish those who openly broke the law at Charter Oak park will say that no complaint was made to them. This lets them out, and also lets every about such things of course nothing can he done

FASHION NOTES,
Styles Dominated by the Temperatnr


 Now that July has proven the reck- lessness of early June's threat that there was to be no hot weather this summer, comfort in dressing is a mighty consideration. And 1t was just that point that dominated the dress of this illustration, appearances having attention so far that a tasteful outing or street dress resulted. Of straw col ored linen batiste strewn with small embroidered white dots, the skirt was plain and only moderately wide. The blazer was lined with white taffeta and with it. A sleeveless vest of darker

The Augusta Chronicle, in an editorial school in that city, says: The fact that the development of cotton manufactur- ing is southward, Is overwhelmingly evidenced by the official records The CaroIinas stand at the head, of the list of mill building States, and the South surpasses any other section. The per- centage of increase grows larger con- stantly, and it is plain even to New England that the mills are moving to the cotton-fields. There is no trouble about getting operatives in the South.

It is believed that the provision of the new tariff which permits Ameri- cans returning from a foreign visit to bring in free of duty only $100 worth of articles will work well. Heretofore it has been the practice of travellers to buy supply of clothes abroad and en- ter them as personal apparel, securing their admission free of duty. It Is cal culated that this practice costs the government many millions. of revenue a year and interferes with our mer- chants and manufacturers. many fam lilies securing while abroad apparel to do them for at least 6 year. It is esti- rrated that there are at least one hun dred thousand Americans who go abroad each year, that the articles they enter free of duty are worth on an av- craze of about $400 to the individual making total of $4O,000.000 of personal articles admitted without payment of duty. The making of these articles du- tiable should give the country about $15,0O0,000 in revenue each year and at the same time tend to cause Americans to buy at home.

Washington Rodman, of Astoria, Long Island, is an enthusiast on the subject Of fungi. There are tons of goou food wasted, he says, because peo- pie will not study fungi. This is apropos of huge puffball just found in Vermont, which. in a fresh 'condi- tion, he says, would have made an ex- cellent meal for half a dozen persons. When fresh, the flesh, on being cut, should remain without the slightest tinge of yellow. Gut in slices, dipped in egg and flour and properly cooked, the dish can hardly be distinguished from the best omelette, having in addi- tion a delicate oyster flavor.

Chief Justice Beatty Listens Atten-

When He Gets Ready


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2s-The SER

Ing to the Supreme Court clear today,
when the tax levy case came UP for
hearing before that body sitting In bank
One hour and a half was allowed each
side, and the case was opened by Car
rett McInerney, on behalf OF the petit
toner.
Thomas v. Gator appeared for the irl-
tervenor, and said that he would not re-
quire so long, but was promptly In
formed by Chief Justice Beatty that he
had not yet been allowed to Intervene.
After some discussion. the court agreed
to hear him half an hour after the other
arguments closed.
McInerney stated that the questions
raised by the facts were contained in
the evidence taken by Commissioner
Eearles. as follows:
First-Is mandamus the proper reme-
dy to compel the Auditor TO perform his
duties relating to the computation Of
taxes?
Seconds there an appeal from the
Judgment of the Superior Court remov-
ing a Board of Supervisors?
Thirdr-Are members Of the board 80
removed entitled to remain in office
pending a hearing of that appeal?
Fourth-Is the appointed board de
jure board?
At the conclusion of Mr.. McInerney's s
argument, which was listened to with
close attention by the court, T. v. Gator
presented an argument holding that the
act under which Judge Wallace's de-
cision was rendered was unconstitu-
tional. He also held that there was no
such Office as "board of supervisors" in
the aggregate.
William T. Baggett made the opening
argument for the respondents. appear
ing for the auditor and the new board.
He was interrupted several times by
questions from the court, which did not
seem to be harmonious. Attorney
Schell also spoke for the respondents.
Ex-Judge John CARRIER closed the argu-
ment In behalf of the petitioners and
the case was submitted. 1t Is believed
that decision will be rendered not later
than early next week.
