BE CHEERFUL AND SERENE.

"A mans house. says Beecher, ness and serenity, so high that no shadows rest upon it, and where the morning comes so early, and the even ing tarries so late. that the day has twice as many golden hours as those of other men. He is to be pitied whose house is in some valley of grief be- tween the hills, with the longest night and the shortest days
 It is not an easy matter to build this mental mansion on ''the hilltop of cheerfulness and serenity, but how much more comfortable it is to live in than the house i'll the valley of grief between the hills,r It is not easy to be bright and cheerful when our best laid plans gang agley;' when balance sheets will not balance; when the typewriter or sewing machine will not move swiftly and rapidly. in spite of the fact that the machinery is ap- parently in good order: when it rains steadily and pelsistently oil the very day when you had wished for the sun to appear it's brightest; when you must wear for another season, the shabby gown or jacket which you had hoped to replace with new one. 1t is hard to give q sunny smile to the world when, for you, the times are out Of joint' Make the effort though and see how you will be repaid and what q golden reflection that little smile will throw back in your world within.

If the powers that be i'll Waterbury can get a parochial school in every parish it will be a great money maker for them. Just think of it! The treas ury of the school fund is enriched Dy $225 for every child now going to tue parochial school on Cole street, and yet not a cent of that money goes to the support of the school. It might be paving investment for the city fathers to make appropriations to each parish for the purpose of building more of these schools. It certainly, in the opln- ion of many. would pay better than building new fire houses i'll districts where they are not needed. Give us enough schools to accommodate all tle children, by all means. Fire houses are good enough where needed, but they are luxury that we can get along without sometimes. After the fire house is erected, it must be furnished with men and machines, and chat means another appropriation, and as the years come and go it means an an- nual appropriation for the fire house that can in the opinion of many pc dispensed with altogether at present

DON'T WATT TO BE TOLD.

If you would advance rapidly in your position, or get on faster in the World, don't acquire habit of waiting to he told what to do. Anticipate the wants of your employer. Use your common sense and ingenuity in trying to solve the problems that come up from lay to day. Nobody ever advances who constantly waits for directions. It is the man who decides promptly tn'l with precision, without being told what is to be done. and then does it, who gets on in the world.
 4 habit of doing nothing without DE- ders or directions is paralyzing to one's and originality. Don't labor under the delusion that to initiate the actions antl methods of those above you is all that your position requires. Original work commands attention. and will he af great service in helping you to advance in your position. or i'll directing work of your own. The valuable employe is the one who anticipates the needs of his position. and attends to them be- fore he is told.
 Keep your eyes wide open for .he things which need to be done, and do them before you are asked to. You may think that actions which are not prompted by the presence of your an ployer will never be heard of by him. Put aside this delusion. There are ill- numerable ways in which un employees habits of work are brought to the at- mention of your employer; and. in the near future, the night person will be sure of reward.- Success.

WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER Il. leo.
coWELL HACKS DOWN.


 At the eleventh hour the better judg- ment of the republican party prevailed, and the suits brought to oust the dem- ocrats from the offices to which they were elected have been withdrawn. Every fair minded man, republican and democrat alike, saw from the start that it was hopeless case for the republi- cans. In fact, the leading candidate, Judge Cowell. went into the contest in a half-hearted, listless manner. His judicial mind must have been cogniz- ant from the start that he was pursu- ing a shadow ill his chase for the mayoralty and in his efforts to have thrown out of office the man who was elected by nearly 800 majority. Every body was surprised at the judges ac- tion. even those who were foremost in urging him to bring the suit. It was not that they loved Cowell the more, but because of an imaginary wrong or for some other reason they bounded him night and day until he was actu- ally forced to bring the contest. Ihe party leaders frowned upon Judge Cowell's move from the start and final ly their advice to the judge had the de sired effect, and to-day, less than twen- ty-four hours before the hearing was to have been held, notice was sent to the attorneys for the democrats that the cases were withdrawn. Thus ends Waterbury's little election sensation, the spark of which must have been ig- nited by some disgruntled and trouble some individual, who would disturb tue peace and good will which generally prevails among the parties in this city.

The application of mechanical pow CT. says q writer in trade paper to vehicles for the common roads had not been attempted early in the nine teenth century, and at intervals there- after, and while such machines as heavy traction engines using steam power found limited application, the question of weight prevented the en1- ployment of self-propelied vehicles for general purposes. Sporadic attempts were made at the construction of mo- tors adapted for vehicle propulsion, but until the work of Daimler such ma chimes were but the isolated attempts of their projectors and not efforts to produce automobile vehicles for gen eral use. The first grasp of the fnn- damental condition of success lay in the realization of the fact that the weight and size of the motor must be
