CUMMINGS QUALIFIED
lis Bond the First to Bear the War
Tax Stamps

M. 8. Cummings, the contractor whom
Street Superintendent Drain found it neces-
sary to sit down upon on Friday, decided
that he was not quite heavy enough to buck
against the strength Of the law, and yester-
day came meekly up to the street superin-
tendent's office and filed his bond for $1,000,
bearing the signatures of George Rhein-
child, d. P. Riley and j. NJ. Jones as sure
ties. He can now go ahead with the i'm
provement Of Jasemne street as per the
award of the contract, but Superintendent
Drain will keep his weather eye open for
any further high-handedness which Cum
mings might take notion to carry into
effect.
The bond in this contract was the first to
come under the provisions Of the war tax
and bears the required fifty cents in stamps.

ACRES OF PINK POND LILIES.
Floral Display That Delights Con-
nectIcut Railway Travellers

nectIcut Railway Travellers.
One of the most beautiful floral ex-
hibits in New England is upon Tad
pole" famous pond lily pond on the
line of the Norwich az Worcester rail
road, one mile above Jewett City, Conn.
The surface of the pond is now a mass
of pink and white pond lilies, and their
fragrance is carried for miles by the
summer winds, says the New York
Sun.
No one knows how long this remark
able garden of pond lilies has been in
existence, but for many years Tad
poles lilies have been sought by picnic
parties from nearby counties in this
state, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
Carloads of the flowers are carried
away, but there seems to be no diminu-
ton in the supply.
The railroad comes suddenly upon
the pond, which it divides in halves, and
in an instant the passengers detect the
fragrance of the lilies and throw up
tie windows, the better to view the
beautiful and unusual sight. In one
section of Tadpole there is large tract
of lilies the blossoms of which are of
so rich a pink as to be almost rose
colored, it is said. They are of exceed
ingly rare beauty and are much sought
after by collectors.
Tadpole's unromantic name comes
from its being a favorite place for
young frogs. It has been known 10y
this title for years, but an effort is now
making to change its name to the still
more unromantic one of Clayville
pond.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Remarkable Activity Reported In All
Commercial Lines.

New York. Jan. 22.-R. c. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
with a volume of business remarka bic
for the time of year. SS per cent. larger
than year ago, and 10.4 per cent. larger
than in 1892 in payments through clearing
houses, 1t is not discouraging that one or
two industries are tagging. The demand
for most goods is more heavy for the sea-
son, manufacturing works are better en-
ployed and orders booked and in prospect
for the future are more encouraging than
at this season in any other year of which
equally definite records exist. Exports of
products continue surprisingly heavy, in
spite of some rise in prices. Treasury re-
ceipts from customs were larger in 20 days
of January than in the entire month of Oc-
tober or November, and apprehension re-
garding the monetary future is no longer
felt outside of speculative circles. Failures
are considerably smaller than were ever
known at this season, both banking and
trading less than half last years. Rail
road earnings in January thus far reported
have been 17.6 per cent. larger than last
year, and 1913 per cent. larger than in 1892.
The rise in wheat above dollar in reg
ular sales was not accompanied by signs of
speculative excitement. In fact the con-
tinuance of extraordinary efforts would
give excuse for high prices even If corn
exports were not enough to suggest grea
foreign need. The fact that cargoes of corn
were shipped during the week to Egypt
and Russia. the very countries upon which
Europe most relies for breadstuffs next to
the United States. affected trade not un-
reasonably.
The great strike of operatives In cotton
mills of New England seems as convenient
to mill owners with their neavy stocks as
if they had ordered ii. Probably it will last
long enough to work off stocks, and the
print cloth market Is already about one
per cent stronger. while a slight advance
is noted In some other cotton goods.

MANY THINK

when the Creator said to woman,
I'm sorrow shalt thou bring forth
children" that a curse was pro-
nounced against the human race,
but the joy ielt by every Mother
when she first presses to her heart
her babe, proves the contrary.
Danger and suffering Turk in
the pathway of the Expectant
Mother, and should be avoided,
that she may reach the hour when
the hope of her heart is to be real
lied, in full Vigor and STRENGTH.
