 "Lilley avows his candidacy is the flrst line of heading in the New Ha. ven Register. The text below says that MT Lilley has frankly admitted" his desire for the republican nomination for congressman at large. It is also cfedibly reported ih other quarters that the Dutch have taken Holland.-- Hartford Times.
 Through the efforts of the State Charities Aid association and the Guild of the Infant Savior of New York, the mortality of the foundlings in that city has been reduced moro D per cent. These societies find homes for the infants and. in the words of one of the members. of the former, do rushing mail order busi. ness in babfes.''
 The most curious postoffica in The United States or Canada stands in Beebe Plain, Vt. One half of the building is in Vermont and one. half III Canada. The postOhice itself is conducted on a dual basis, Il father acting as postmaster for the Canadian government and his daughter acting in that capacity for the Unned States
 Prof Karl Pearsons, F. R. s. has made some startling discoveries in the matter of heredity. He states that there is much truth in the statement that it takes three generations to make a gentleman, for in three generations he has found numerous instances of complete mental and physical change [ in families, by an admixture of new blood.
 1 The thousands of poor people in ex- Chief Devery's district who are the lrecipients of his extensive and prodigal reelection fayors probably do not realize that poverty would be much less extensive and oppressive in the metropolis but for the corruption in city government which prevailed for so many years. Bill Devery, nor no other selfish example of misgovern- ment, can honestly claim to be the poor peoples friend. Wholesale bribery under any guise is demoraliz- I ing to the recipients, for it adds de- 1 graduation to poverty. Even Tam many should. feel disgraced if this brazen, bull headed ex-chief be re- stored to authority in it's councils. And certainly such restoration would still further diminish Tammany's in huence among all decent democrats. l Democracy will not stand for the Deyr erys and devils of rotten politics. l New Haven.

 William 0. Whitney, who used to be in politics, and was occasionally men toned for the presidency says he is out of politics for good, He is much in- terested in horses at present Tn all interview recently he said the, great trouble with the democrats is that they have no issue; nor no man. If the Hon "BilI' wasn't so bound up in his fast horses the man probably could be found, if the democrats would only look Whitney's way. Here is the in. terview: "Oh, I'm out of politics. I'm 60 years old and am quite out of pol itics. I'm getting out Of business, too, as quickly as I can. I'm not one of those men who desire to die in harness. I have recreation and amusements out side of politics and business, and in tend to enjoy them. Politics is less inA teresting just now than usually. The trouble is that the democrats have no issue and no man. I don't see how Cuba can develop into an issue, con sfdering the attitude of NIr Roosevelt, but, as told you, am out of politics. !"

HAPPINESS IN A FARMERS LOT.

AS concerns happiness? The New EngIand farmer has his ups and downs setbacks and discouragements mingled thickly with his modest successes Like other men. he has times when he believes that his lot is of all lots most grievous and beset Doomed 10. unre- mitting toll you know he is. and tha arbitrary divisions of the day of labor are not for him Nature is at his heels with storm, with draugIt. with threat ln the heavens an :n stleAs Asoil Mas. ter of hfmself is nes respect: in anofher sense no man is more q slave than he. Each brute that champs in the TOW of tie-up stalls is a dumb tv rant to hold him to his tasks. Natures s moods must be watched faithfully for her smiles and tears alike are to be turned to the advantage of the hus- bandman who is prudent and alert
 Free man is he beneath the sun, his arena of toil encompassed by sweet beauties in his nostrils the fragrance, and in his ears, the melody of nature. But his shoulders are bowed and his hands are gnarled and galled, his face is scanned, and the erass odor of the farm breathes even from his fibre To his mouth come the first fruits and the best of the bounty of the earth, yet The Great Mother drives him to intending toll if he is to win his har- vest and thwart the foes she sends to teach him humility and industry.
 Season follows season, duties jostle, tasks lead to tasks, work beclons eve. far ahead, and there is no hour when he may say, T have donew until Death unclasps the rough and calloused hands from the hoe-handle.-H Holman F. Day, in Eyerbody's Magazine.

While the republicans are telling so glibly what they are going to do to the trusts if they only get a chance, a glance at the Congressional Record of the 18th of last February will throw
 considerable light on the subject, says an exchange. Their bad faith during the Fifty-sixth congress when they pigeon -holed their own antitrust bill rather than let it come to vote is too well known to need discussion. But even within the present year the republicans, who are now applauding the presidents antitrust utterances in his Pittsburg speech, voted directly opposite to their present and past pro fessions. It happened in this way. The permanent census bill was under consideration. Senator Dubois of Idaho offered an amendment to the bill providing remedy for the trusts in direct accord with the recommends tions of the president in his message " tdS SohssiCSS. III OACllAS tAlO amendment MT Dubois said: q am not making an indiscriminate attack on the trusts. My amendment simply carries out fully the suggestion of President Roosevelt, which is that the utmost publicity shall be given to the trusts" When the vote was taken on the amendment the republicans voted against it to man. Is that the sort of record the republicans are going before the country with, and
 pointing with pride'' to? Does any man ever expect relief for his country

 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. 1c8 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn. says: "To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, l can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointments I used did me any good until l procured Doan'a Ointment at Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that 1 felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for iis- ritation of the skin there is on the market. v
 Just such emphatic endorse ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.

The tipping habit oyersteps the limit when a man growls all through a meal at the inattention of the waiter, and then turns to" and fees him as reward for his abominable service.
