Turf, Field and Farm tells this story
about the late Charles L. Clark, for.

the late Robert Bonner purchased
Maud S.. he sent her to Charter Oak
park to be trained. One day a friend
OF Mr.. Bonner left New York to visit
him at the park. but found that the
train did not stop at that station. The
conductor was polite. but said that he
could not go against orders. At New
Haven halt was made. and Mr.. Bon
ner's friend tried 10 bribe the engineer
with $40 bill, but in vain. He was
then told that President Clark was on
the train. and he went to him.
"'Why don't you Zee the conductor 2
asked Mr.. Clark.
"T have, but he will not dlsObey or
ders.'
"'Why not then go forward and bride

policy. Mr.. Clark not only gave orders
10 have the train stopped at Charter
Oak. but promised some day TO see

attempt at bribery. and the frank con

Having thus got rid OF crack, the

There are almost as many kinds Of par

The government OF no Swiss canton

that Of Glarus, where the burghers as
semble annually to hold their outdoor
parliament In large square-usually
on the first Sunday In May, weather
permitting. The honored president oc-
cupies a platform in the middle OF the
square. There are places for boys
around this platform, the young idea
thus being taught early how to legislate
wisely and well for its beloved country.
Altogether the "landsgemeinde" IL
