Judge Taft presented the pontif with n box containing President Roosevelt's literary works, and the pope expressed his thanks for Mir. Roosevelt's friendly greetings, promised to study the diff cult question and, said he hoped for good results. The pontiff also asked Judge Taft to thank President Roose- velt for his gift.
 While talking with the pope Governor Taft reviewed in summary way the questions in the Philippines which re- Quire settlement. He pointed out to his holiness that the readjustment of the relations of church and state in the is- lands was not an indication of hostility of the United States to the Catholic church, but declared that such read justment was merely a necessity under the American constitution. Governor Taft referred to the prosperity and the freedom of the Roman Catholic church In the United States and cited these conditions as an assurance that the Vatican had nothing to fear from the extension of the authority of the Unit ed States over the Philippine Islands.
 Replying to Judge Taft, the pontiff expressed the greatest pride in the Ro- man Catholic church in the United States and intense interest in the great republic. He said he earnestly desired

 Several of the members of the local lodge of Heptasophs will go to New Haven this evening to attend an inn portant meeting to be held by the Heptasophs of that city Several of the high court officers will be present.

sELF-UNcoNsc1oUs WOMEN.

There are some women who are born to make everyone comfortable, and however much a well meaning woman may try to be considerate of others, she is quickly outclassed by this born comfort. This woman makes no seem ing effort to watch out for the happi- ness of others, but it is just as natural for her to do these little things which make life pleasant as it is for the or dinary woman to sit and wait for oth- CTS to do things for her.
 The secret of this woman's success, says the New York Press, in being such comfort is that she is thorough ly unselfish. Self always comes last with her She never thinks of the per sonal effort she must make to achieve some things if it is necessary that such things should be done for anothers comfort She never thinks that she re- ceives no reward for her acts, but keeps on steadily doing for others. She is content to stay behind the scenes when some social affair is going on in order to see that nothing happens to mar the good time. She works dili- gently to prepare some one else for g vacation trip, and does not sigh that she is not to be a participant in the pleasure.
 She is woman who at a picnic sees that everyone else is supplied with lunch, and is content with bite or two for herself. She is the woman who knows how to put up just such lunches as the picnickers are sure to like, and she does all this as if there were no question of anyone else doing it. She is the woman who is only too willing to supply the table with all the dainties which individual members of the fam fly desire, counting not the effort it must cost to bring this about.
 In fact, she is a woman who does whatever is to be done and the beau ty of it all is her supreme unconscious ness that she is doing anything She is not very often to be found among the young women, and almost never among women who are longing for career, for the latter have time to think only for their own elf-adyance- ment, and the former find themselves too interesting to pay very much atten- ~tion to others; but she is found among the middle aged women who have family whose wants are always very much in evidence and she is a blessing of the household,

A. M. Hard Had Lively Time With
 Horses and Road Machine.


 Last Wednesday while at work with the road machine A. M. Hard came near having a bad runaway. The four horses attached to the machine became frightened and started on a mad run. MT Hard was thrown from the drivers s seat and Mir Cutler who operates the machine, followed suit The ponderous outfit of four horses and heavy road machine might have done good deal of damage had it not been for the bravery of Will Fitch, who was work on the road. MT Fitch, who was using a hoe, ran toward the team and dealt one of the leaders a powerful blow on the head. This served to check the team in it's mad career. A loose line came within reach of MT Fitch and by it's aid he succeeded in bringing the outfit to standstill. No damage

 Sheep killing dogs have been heard from again. This time at Preston Atwood's. MT Atwood's grandson Paul managed to put one of the dogs where it won't kill any more sheep. A charge of buckshot settled it's career for all time to come. The other dog escaped. MT Atwood turned over the dead dog to the selectmen and made claim for damages. The selectmen would be pleased to find the owner of the dog.
 It is rather peculiar phase of com mon law that where a dog is found worrying sheep the owner of the sheep can claim damages The statute pro- viding in detail for such recovery. Tn case a dog worries a human being there is no remedy except through the complicated machinery of justices court

THE PuzzL1NG BALANCE SHEET

A Scotch tradesman who had amas- sed as he believed, $ 1000 was surpris- ed by his old clerk with balance sheet showing his fortune to be f6000.
 s'It canna be-" said the principal; count again.
 The clerk did count again and again declared the balance to be 96000. The master counted himself. and he also brought out 2 surplus of G6OOO. Time after tine he cast up the columns: it was still a six, and not a four, that rewarded his labors. So the old mer- chant. on the strength of his good for tune, modernized his house and put money in the purse of the carpenter, the painter and the upholsterer. Still, however, he had lurking doubt of the existence of the extra E2000. So one winter night he sat down to give the columns "one count mOre.'
 At the close of his task he jumped up as though he had been galvanized and rushed through the streets in a shower of rain to the house of the clerk The clerks head, capped and drowsy, emerged from an attic window at the sound of the knocker to inquire the errand of the midnight visitor.

The pope said also that matters of detail in connection with the questions to be decided would be referred to committee of cardinals, by whom they would be considered at length, and that all the issues would be treated with the sole aim of reaching a settlement satisfactory to all parties concerned.
 The pope appeared to be in excellent health in his interview with Governor Taft and was of viyacious humor. He referred pleasantly to Archbishop Ire land in what he had to say concerning the Roman Catholic church in the United States.

FORMER wATERrowS RECTOR.
May Become Pastor of All Souls
 Church, New York.

May Become Pastor of Al. Souls
 Church. New York.
 The Rev Dr Samuel D. Mcconnell of the Holy Trinity Protestant. Episco- pal church., Brooklyn, N. Y, has re- ceived call to become rector of All Souls church, in New York city. The Rev Dr Mcconnell was at one time rector of Christ church, Watertown The New York Worl1 'last..e oIlowiiIg about the Rev Dr McConnell:
 Holy Trinity is one of the largest churches in Brooklyn, and has in it's congregation many of the wealthy residents on the Heiel,ts. Dr McCon- nell came to the church from Philadel- phia ten years ago, succeeding Rev Charles H. Hall, and since he became it's rector the parish has increased to great extent. Dr Mcconnell has al ways been admired by the congrega- ton for his excellent sermons, and the announcement that he may assume charge of another parish will cause surprise.
 After the death of Bishop Little john Dr Mcconnell and the Dev Dr Burgess were the leading candidates fer the Long Island bishopric and the contest between them was strenuous. The election was finally decided ill fla vor of Dr Burgess, who defeated Dr Mcconnell by only few votes.
 'Dr Mcconnell. at his home, No 126 Pierrepont street said last night he had received call to become rector of All Souls church, but was not at present in position to make his de cision public. He further said he was considering the matter, and inti- mated that he would probably accept the call.
 Some members of the vestry of All Souls said last night that the Rev Dr Mcconnell had decided to accept their call, but they were not willing to make the announcement formally
