 The Ellsworth correspondent to the Amenia, N. |. Times, under date of Sept. 20, writes of a burglary and ss- sault upon two old people of that place last week Monday evening as follows: A tramp entered the lonely house of Chsffee Lowell, down the Stoney Brook road, Monday evening, assaulted the old man with an iron from moving machine, outraged his wife, and, taking MT Lovel]'s best clothes, departed, ,leav-
 ng them half dead. No knowledge of the fact reached any outsiders ears un- til Mir Williams reached the house about 10 30 Tuesday morning. On &C., count of oth-r delays no pursuit was begun until Wednesday afternoon Sharon's magistracy has offered reward of Sl00 for the apprehension and con. viction of the brutal fepd.
 A headon collision occurred between two freight trains on the Naugstuck | division of the Consolidated road nea, Ansonia last Saturday. Both trains were moving at high speed and the train crews were in full view of each other for the distance of nearly quart CT of mile before they met. The trains were moving so rapidly it was impossi ble to stop in time to prevent the col lission. Both engines were wrecked but fortunately no one was injured. John Kheler fell distance of 30 fec while at work on the New Hartford trestle last Sunday, breaking his back bone. He was taken to the Hartford Hospital. No hopss of his recovery were entertained.

MORE PROSPERITY.

Testimony concerning the new pros
perity grows in volume and impressive
ness. When prosperity is so large and
| thorough that turkeys become diamond
mines the times are indeed rich. 1t will
be remembered that last week New
Haven woman found a diamond in a
turkey. The diamond was worth 500.
1t is also recorded that last Thursday
Mrs. Mary Lemon, of So Java street,
turkey While she was dressing it
there dropped from its crop diamond.
Mrs. Lemon thought at first that it was
a pebble and she was on the point of
throwing it aside when it's glitter at
tracted her attention. Afterward she
went to jeweller, who placed value
of $100 on the diamond. The stone
weighs nearly a carat.
We do not look upon such things as
mere accidents, and we think those who
have not peered carefully into their
turkeys for diamonds have made mis-
take. The truth is the times are so
good that while men are turning every
thing they touch into gold turkeys are
turning what they touch into diamonds.
This doesn't indicate that turkeys are
smarter than men, but it may indicate
that they are more lucky. Don't miss
the diamond in your next turkey, and
perhaps there will soon be more than
one in each turkey. There ought to be
at the rate the new prosperity is grow

ESSAY ON LIFE INSURANCE.
Fine Ideas on a Great Topic of the
Century.

Fine Ideas on a Great Topic of the
Century.
Mr.. Darwin p. Kingsley, third vice
president of the New York Life Insur-
ance company in the November indie
pedent, writes of Life Insurance-Its
Service and it's Leadership" Among
other Kings Mr. Kelsey says:
| Life insurance, as it first took form,
was prophecy of the day when mans
outlook would be as wide as the world
it was the expression of an idea that
was peaceable, unselflsh and wise, yet
having withal militant side.
Under certain great leaders this
benefcent idea not only prophesied but
fought. 1t preached the doctrine of
vigorously attacked the prejudices, the
vices and the provincialism that scat
ter and embitter men and retard pro-
gress.
with the beginning of the twentieth
century the period of prophecy draws
to close and the militant period, the
time of command and leadership be-
gins
Earlier than the middle of the nine
teenth century there was little place in
the world even for its voice of prophe-
cy, Man and his ideas, man and his
hopes, man and his conception of the
world, was still too provincial, to super
stitious and to small Something like
fifty years ago man really began to as
sumo mastery over the earth Before
that he looked at the confines of
single state as we now look at the en-
tire world; he regarded the world as
we now regard the solar system. With
in two generations the world has so
shrunk-or rather man has so expand
ed--that the mysteries, the superstit-
ions, the fears and the enmties of ear
lier days have measurab bly, vanished.
The monsters that lived beyond the pill
lars of Hercules have all been slain;
the passage to India has been discov-
cred AT last man has intelligently
physical domination over the earth.
Splendid as all this is from a mate

beginning of things for life insurance.

The schoolhouse waits beside the road,
But closed are all its crumbling shutters,
And in It's yard, by breezes soWed,
The thistle and the ragWeed lutters.
And high above the blackboard gray,
Within convenient musty inches,
Are hidden from the light of day
bunch Of ancient birchen switches.
The spider spins his fragile web
Across the grimy window glasses,
While day by day the slow weeks ebb,
And week by week the dull year passes.
Where now are those who gathered once
To taste. the fruit Of knowledge brought
them?
Where now the scholar and the Ounce,
And where the red Tipped maid who
taught them?
Why, as they lived be sure they died,
Whatever else times passing gave them,
Forgotten by all else beside
Unless, indeed, my song shall save them.
The mice along the rafters squeak
Or gnaW the leaves of some old primer,
And loose hung clapboards rasp and creak,
While fades the twilight dim and DINNER,
And so It stands from year to year,
Deserted reminiscent mostly,
And, what with oil that fingers near,
Sadder than death and quite as ghostly.

The France Militaire says that spec
ial attention has recently been paid in
France to the use of carrier pigeons by
the cavalry. The bird is carried in a
basket attached to the riders shoulders
in the same way as a knapsack. At
first the basket was attached to the
saddle, but the jolting soon rendered the
bird incapable of performing any use
full service. 1t was placed in a zinc
tube with its feet drawn up and it's
wings folded, but the jolting removed
all the feathers from the back of the
bird, and left the flesh bare and sore.
The bird is still placed in d tube, but
the tube is made of wicker and lined
with hair, the elasticity of which
deadens the effect of the jolting. One,
