SHE WAS a NEW WOMAN.
nut when the Dogs Begun 10 Follow
Her She Weakened.


There is no earthly doubt as to her
being a new woman. She was not born
a new woman, neither was new woman
hood thrust upon her; she achieved it
and is unreasonalDly proud of the fact.
Nature EAST her in round, soft, com
Portable mold. But she has risen SUI
perior to nature. She believes with all
her heart, with all her soul, with all
her mind, in the right divine of woman
to govern, wrongly, perhaps, but still
to govern. She is one Of those Patrick
Henrys in petticoats whose burning
eloguence brings conviction to the souls
of hundreds who already agree with
her. As already stated, there is no
earthly doubt as to her being a new
w%oman-in theory, at least. In prac-
tice? Well, that's different.
She's the sort Of woman who shrinks
and climbs on the table if anyone sug-
gests that there is a mouse in the
room. She believes the placid old fam
lily horse the ~fiercest sort Of a steed,
and knows that her life is in danger
every time she climbs into the phaeton.
She stands paralyzed with terror if she
spies a cow at the far end of the field,
and would probably faint If a little
garden snake crossed her path. The
dogs of the n~eighbors-she lives in the
country. where no household is COM
plete without several of them-till her
mind with mad, unreasOning fear.
One day she went down to the vii.
lage and was tempted to buy some pies
for the family meal. AS she was bear.
ing them home in triumph a large New.
foundland, waking from his monday
nap, stalked out to meet her, shifted
at her pies and fell solemnly in behind
her. AT the next place she passed two
more went through the same ma
neuvers, then one, then three, then
two, and so on till every place she
passed had yielded it's quota Of dogs.
One by one they fell into line. SMELL
ing her pies and following her loving.
~, they joined in the procession, pac-
ing solemnly after this timorous new
woman.
Her heart was as water and her
bones were as wax. She knew that ii
would be a heroic thing and worthy
| of her new womanhood to die in de-
| Tense of her pies. She saw visions OF
the neighbors finding her a mangled
corpse, but still faithful to her charge;
of a slender white shaft in some peace
full cemetery bearing the inscription:
Faithful Unto Death Then she
thought Of her motherless children, her
Borrowing husband, with only a heroic
memory TO console them, and her cour-
age failed her. She felt that it was
better to live a new woman than to die
a hero.
So she gently laid the pies down on
the path that the dogs might devour
them In peace and unmolested sped

very hour is as prolific n source of public
debate. personal speculation and com.
mon scandal rs at any former period.
1t las brought more contempt and dis
grace upon II government than have
come from any single cause that can
BIZ mentioned.
IF we consult the records of 1919 we
shall find as far back as that the con-
gress Of the United States foundering in
the mire OF printing rascality, unable
either to get its work done at the prop
e" time, as stipulated, or even with toll
cradle accuracy. 1t was horribly execut-
cd, on poor paper, and never ready when
wanted.
"The efforts Of the spoilsmen OF all
parties have ever been to crush
out the labors OF those seeking
a radical and genuine reform in
that department. The mere partisan
does not want the door OF the
treasury closed against him just as he
ia about &c lay hold Of its keys; and as
the printing spells have been regarded
~ among the most valuable under the
government. mere politicians have al
ways had q strong desire TO retain
them"
Public Printer Palmer Is a splendid
executive officer who has had great
experience in the printing business and
who occupied the position of public
printer under the Harrison admins
tration. He says: II am not a spoils-
man in the strict sense of that word,
although | believe that the political
party placed in power by the people
should dominate the affairs of every
administration. While / am not a
spokesman, / am at the same time OPP
posed to the application OF the civil
service law to the government printing
Office. / think 1t is absurd TO require
printers and bookbinders to pass school
boy examinations. II is also the height
OF folly to require laborers and
skilled workmen In the various
branches Of the printing Office 10 pass

ness, or conditions not in harmony
with the splendid architecture OF the
building. The people Of this country
will approve large appropriations to
carry out this purpose, and this I'M
proNement would give employment &c
thousands Of the unemployed, and en-
tail a burden upon the taxpayers
triiling in comparison to the great and
permanent benefits secured.
The first public printer was John ID,
Defrees, OF Indiana, who was appointed
early in 1861 by President Abraham
Lincoln. lie held the Office until
August 81, 1866, when he was removed
by President Andrew johnson, and
Cornelius Wendell was appointed, but
lis tenure Of Office was very brief. The
yersy with President johnson, and IN
the winter following the congress-
changed the method of appointment
and on March 1, 1869, Mr.. Deirees was
restored to Office by the senate under
the title of congressional printer.
On April IA, 1850, 4. NJ. Clapp, of New
York, was appointed and held the pc.
sition until June /, 1877, when John D.
Defrees was appointed by President
Hayes. During his second term OF
Office Mr.. Defrees did a great deal of
work in the matter Of organization,
and he held his position until April Ia,
1882, when Sterling p. Rounds, a we'll.
known type founder Of Chicago, was
appointed by President Arthur.
President Cleveland appointed
Thomas +. Benedict, of New York, on
April 10, 1856, and President Harrison
appointed Frank w. Palmer, Of Chica.
60, to succeed him. On May 7, 1894,
Mr.. Benedict again became public
printer, and held that position until
he was succeeded at the beginning OF
the Mckinley administration by the
appointment of Frank W. Palmer, who
now holds that position.
The original building erected for the
use of the public printer in 1856 was
purchased by the government in 1850,
including the entire printing plant, for
SAG ,j4j, although the original owner,
Mr.. Wendell, claimed that the build
ing and outfit cost him $IsO,0OO.
The buildingas it now stands is about
five times as large as the original build
ing. 1t has grown in size by the con
struction OF additions, but the entire
place Is in n ~ramshackle condition, and
every public printer for 20 years has
urged the congress to make appropria-
| tons for the erection Of n safe and suit
able building.

THE FLAG RAISING.


A company of about 800 people were
present at the upper Long Hill school,
last Friday afternoon, to assist the
teacher, Miss Kate F. Camp, in fittingly
close the spring term of the school and
in accepting the handsome new flag that
hereafter will float from the flag staff on
the school building. A considerable
preparation had been made for the occa-
sion and a program of length and excel
lence had been carefully provided. Spei-
del's band from Bridgeport was present
and enlivened the occasion with spirited
national airs, while the school children
told in verse and song of the glory of the
flag. r. s. Shelton opened the exercises
with prayer and Milton G. Barlow offici.
ated very aeceptably as POSTMASTER and
introduced the speakers. The flag and
education was the theme and Mr. Enos of
the Union Business College at Bridge
port, Prof Corlew of Stratford, Peter
Gabler and Rev Mr. Warmer all spoke
interestingly. Ormel Hall presented the
flag, which was accepted by Miss Camp
for the school. The refreshments came
in for their share of attention. Miss
Camp was presented with nice umbrel-
la by her pupils. This schoolhouse, one
OF the most satisfactory buildings of the
kind in the town, is situated very near

DEDICATION OF THE NEW GRANGE HALL
The dedication of the new Grange hall
took place, last Saturday afternoon. At
2 O'Clock the Grange opened in form at
Academy hall and few minutes later
m arched to the new hall, where the i'm
pressive ceremony was performed. These
services were under the direction of State
Deputy J. Il. Brakeman of Stratford, as
sisted by the officers of the local Grange.
John C. Lobdell, master of the Grange,
called the gathering to order and an
nounCed the object of the meeting and
then addressed the dedicatng officer and
called upon the builder, F. E. Perry, to
surrender the keys. Mr. Perry then de-
livered the keys to the master, j. G. Lob
dell. The building committee were then
called upon to report if the work had
been done satisfactorily. S. G. Bradley,
in behalf of the committee, reported that
it had. The keys were then delivered to
the deputy state master. After a brief
ritualistic address the altar was brought
in and the officers in charge gathered
about it. Prayer was offered by the
chaplain, w. Burr Hill. Miss Jessie Lob
dell as Pomona then placed upon the al
tar an offering of summer fruits. Ceres,
Miss Ada Jennings, then approached the
altar and laid upon it an Offering of the
ripened grains of autumn. She was fol-
lowed by Miss Elizabeth Bradley as
Flora, who laid upon the altar an offer
| ing of flowers. The officers then resumed
their places and the deputy master pro-
claimed it dedicated to the use of the
Patrons of Husbandry. At the conclus-
| ion of the formal ceremonies of dedica-
ton, brief addresses were made by the
deputy master, Prof Corlew of Stratford,
Frederick Bronson, Col A. r. T. Nichols,
Rev J. B. Kettle, DR. M. V. B. Durham,
Frank Brakeman of Stratford and E. c..
Birge of Green's Farms. At the con-
