WHY CALLED COMMENCEMENT .
In the United States, commencement
denotes the occasion on which degrees
are conferred by colleges and universitl -
upon their graduates. This takes place
generally in June or July, and closes
the scholastic year, so that the name in
this respect appears to be a misnomer.
1T refers, however to the beginning of
the students independent career, after
being released from tutelage. ..The lite
of school ends, but the school of life COM
menees."

: Facts and Fancies in Verse
fer the Little Folks So: !:
THE BABIES BEDTIME.

THE BABIES BEDTIME.
Sweet are children in the morning, in the
afternoon or night,
In their dainty frocks of red ard blue or
gowns of simple white,
In their play up in the playroom, in the
yard or on the lawn,
But they're sweetest when it's bedtime
and they get their "nighties" on.
Little ghosts of white a'romping Ger the
bed and through the room;
In the season of a lifetime they're the
rosy month of June.
Little ghosts of white a-marching to the
music of their laugh,
And the one whoe'er would miss it SEES
in life its minor half.
Little eurIs a-dangling, frowsy, to the
heads fitting wreath,
Little gowns a-hanging loosely and the
peeping feet beneath.
Merry monarchs of the household and
their love as is the fawn,
And they're sweetest when it's bedtime
and they've got their 'nighties" on.
Oh, the clear notes of their laughter, and
the patter of their feet,
AS they ronlp and chase each other in
the game of hide and seek,
Gives a hint of faint suspicion Of the
world that is to be,
For the Master taught US, saying, 'Suf-
fer these to come to met
Soon fatigue o'ercomes the players, ard
the white brigade is still,
And the Now I lay me-" whispered with
a pleading and a will!
Oh the wee tots are in slumber, and
their dreams are in repose,
For the clearness of conscience rivals
beauties of the rose.
And the white, up turned, sweet vfsage
adds to innocence the charm
Of the soul reposfng trust upon TIE
guardian angels arm;
Oh, the sweetest scented nectar flowing
from this life is gone
If you cannot see the babies when they
get their "nighties" on!

1T ISN'T THE THING YOU DO.


1t isn't the thing you do. dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
That gives you a bit Of heartache
At the setting OF the sun.
The tender word forgotten;
The letter you did not write;
The flower you did not send. Gear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way;
The bit of heartsene counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch Of the hand. dear,
The gentle, winning tone
Which you had no time or thought for
With trouble enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness
So easily out of mind.
These chances to be angels
Which we poor mortals ind.
It isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you bit Of a heartache
At the setting of the sun.

THE RULE OF THE ROAD.

The rule turn to the right only hol2s
in this country in the case where two
vehicles are going in opposite directions
meet When one vehicle overtakes an
other the foremost gives way to the eft
and the other passes by on the "off S de-
and when a vehicle is crossing the direc-
ton of another it keeps TO the left and
crosses in it's rear. These two rules are
the same in this country and in England,
and why the rule concerning mesting We
hicles should have been changed it is I'M
possible to say. We find this point OF
difference noted by all authorities, but
no reason for it is ever suggested. Per-
haps it originated simply in the dislike
with which our forefathers regarded all
things that savored of ''Br tish tyrs nny.'
They say there: " -tse a5eg ~. q
1.-THE rule Of the road is a paradox quite
For in driving your carriage along,
If you turn to the left you are sure to
be right,
If you turn to the right you are wrong. :"
Probably, as it is easier to turn to the
right than to the left, it was adopted
as the more preferable custom in some of
the earlier colonies. and in due time be
came embodied in local law, and was thus
handed down to later times.

 Dublin street people and the public

 taken last night by Mayor Kilduff re-
 garding the doing of the work of
 bringing the street to the established
 grade and width opposite the Byrnes
 property. This is matter that has
 been hanging fire for the past twenty
 suffered heavily on account of allow
 ing it to stand. Dublin street had a
 good start years ago and promised to keep pace with the rest of the city, but it is a matter of history that it has not
 done it. Why? Simply because the
 conditions that obtained at the bridge disgusted everybody and impeded the
 progress of that neighborhood by at
 least quarter of century. It is q delightful residence section and there is no reason in the world except the one mentioned why property is not more valuable there than 1t is. But it is not too late to make up for lost ground and. judging by the action talk
 en last night, the street will be very much changed place in short time. It is provided with sewers and city water, and after the entrance to the street is fixed, all it will need then to render it the equal of the best street in the city is the hum of the trolley, and it0is safe to predict that there is enough enterprise ill the old settlers there and the younger element to get the Connecticut Lighting and Railway
