 Hartford, May Ex-Governor Cooke to-day designated the Third regiment, Connecticut National Guard, as the or ganization to fill the Connecticut quota of troops under the call issued yester- day by President Mckinley for 75,000 more volunteers.

 T hereby offer to the United
 States the services of the Third reg
 iment, Connecticut National Guard,
 under the presidents call for 75,000
 troops"
 Governor Cooke, as soon as he learn ed of the issuance of the presidents call for additional troops, took steps to pre- pare for the emergency. Last night he was advised by the Connecticut sena- tors in congress to promptly offer a regiment from Connecticut. The gover- nor acted to-day and issued orders des- ignating the Third regiment.

BE PATIENT WITH THE OLD.

There is nothing more. beauti-
full in this world than to observe
the tenderness Of some girls to-
wards their aged relatives, says
a writer. Dear grandmother can
not thread her needles as easily
as she used to, and is sensitive
on the subject, and does not like
to be too obviously helped, to
have attention called to her fail
ing eyesight, which she so much
regrets and does not like to ad-
nit. There are two ways of
meeting the difficulty. Matte, a
kind hearted girl without much
tact, will exclaim: "Oh, grand
ma, what perfect nonsense for
you to fuss over that needle !
You know you cannot find the
hole where the thread should 90
in; your eyes are too old. Give
me the thing; I'll thread your
needles. The intention is most
excellent, but the old lady is hurt
and STILES a sigh. She had
young eyes once, and she has
the same independent spirit still.
Edith, in the same circumstances,
manages in another fashion,
She simply threads a dozen
needles and leaves them already
for grandmama, in her needle
book, saying, "It saves so much
time, dear, in these busy days to
have ones needles all ready and
waiting,

For the benefit Of the unmar-
ried, our government has COM
piled statistics showing the ratio
of spinsters and bachelors in the
various states. Massachusetts
has the banner for maidens and
young mon who want wives
should go there at once. The
other sex hunting for husbands
should enigrate to Idaho or Wy
oming, The middle west is the
strongest for bachelors, while the
southeast is the weaker in that
line. There is not a state in the
union which has more maids than
achelors, The district Of Col
umbia has the nearest, the males
leading by only 0 per cent In
