Hartford Fire Fighter Wants to Retire
 After Fifty Three Years.
 Hartford. Nov 5.--Chief Henry J. Eaton sprung a surprise on the board of fire commissioners Monday evening by asking to be retired November 15. His communicable was as follows: To the Honorable Board of Fire Com.
 missioners of the City of Hartford. .
 "Gentlemen-I take this opportunity to petition your honorable board to re half pay, said retirement to date No vember 15. 1903. Henry J. Eaton Chief Fire Department"
 When Clerk Reynolds had finished reading the letter the commissioners turned toward the chief, who was sit ting at a table near the boards. and began firing questions at him.
 "Why do you do thisg' asked Conn missioner Beardsley.,
 "I've been nearly, if three years a fireman, and it's time to get out" was the answer. He had no fault to find with the board, no grievance and he guessed his health was still good.
 Commissioner Beardsiey said it would be q public misfortune if the request were granted. He wanted the communication returned to the chief. If the chief really wished to be retired his wishes should be respected. but 1t was to be hoped he would reconsider and withdraw his letter.
 .'We are all very fond of the chief 1" continued MT. Beardsley. The Hart ford fire department without Chief Eaton at the head would be, we'll" It was a situation beyond the com naissioner's ability to discuss and Chief Eaton filled in the breach by saying it would move right along just the same

Loss of Babe craxed Her;

LEROY, N. r.. Nov. 5.-The two year-old baby of MT. and Mrs. Frank Smith was instantly killed by an Erie train. The child's life was crushed out just as the mother reached out her hands to drag it from danger. The baby wandered away from the house, and when Mrs. Smith caught sight of him he was sitting on the track, and an express train was rapidly approaching. The race to save the baby's life was lost by a fraction of a second. Mrs. Smiths arm was struck by the engine and she was hurled to the side of the track. She Is now a raving maniac.

Real Estate and Rents

A rent, a kingdom for a rent; but the fact remains that you can't get one, so what are you going to do? Buy a @ouse. What kind of house? Any kind you want, at any price, at any place you want. I wish could im- press upon people the fact that it costs more money to rent a house than 1t does to own one. Take any prop erty owner that you, know, who has at one dime or another paid rent, and he will tell you that it costs him less money now Than when he defrayed the household expenses of his landlord.
 have particularly fine house on Vine street, four rooms each tenement, and three tenements. This pays 10 per cent on the purchase price and is the best house on the street. You can go up and see it yourself Remember that it is the best one on the street, and you can spot it easily.

Reaping the Whirlwind.

To many persons the six-year sentence
in states prison given former Mayor
Ames by Judge Elliott will seem severe
But they should remember that the crime
of which the ex-mayor was convicted was
an especially grave one, considering all
the circumstances. It is not only Dr.
Ames that had to be considered, but the
relation of his crime and it's punishment
to the public veal. A light punishment
for SO great an offense, would be to con-
done it, encourage other Offenders and
discourage the workers for good govern
ment and pure politics not only in Mime
apolis, but in every city in the country
1t was a heinous offense for a man to
disgrace Minneapolis as DR.. Ames has,
to make the city byword all over the
nation. Let it be remembered, too, that
if ever a man brought his own ruin and
shame on himself; it is DR.. Ames. What
man in. all Minnesota ever had more op-
portunities to honor himself by serving
well the public? Chance after chance he
has thrown away; the bad course was ever
preferred to the good, and now the Dead
sea apples. of a misspent life are being
eaten. DR.. Ames decreed a prison sem
tence for himself Judge Elliott has mere
" given a legal and definite form to a
natural result.

as he understood hi1ns, Hegel, indeed, did
not Seem to ind rstand himself at times,
He gives good grounds for the charge that
he was a pantheist, and yet he is declared
by some Christian theologians to be the;
most n1asterful demonstration Of the CEN
trail dogmas Of the Christian faith-the
trinity and the atonement, for instance.
altho it can also be shown that the Hegel-
Ian philosophy denies the distinct person-
atty OF God and regards prayer as useless
and absurd and practically obliterates all
distinction between good and evil. The
late distinguished DR.. McCosh, a master
in the PHILOSOPHERS. said he never found
two Hegelians who agreed with each
other. His own deep study of Hegel re-
suited In drawing in his net and finding
that he had IAN immeasurable length of
knotted cordage. but the living fish were
very few's and he stopped his toilsome
quest in that direction for philosophic
truth.

ing he has fair natural gifts, a facile
grace in his literary style. aptness in all
fusion and develop originality in him.
George Sand once wrote a letter Of adj
vice to her friend, the poet Charles de
Poncey, in which she said:
In painting, we study the best models,
In literature we must do the same. Rest,
since you are fatigued, and study Cor
nellie, Bossuet. Jean Jacques Rosseau,
even Boileau; they will be an antidote to
superabundance Of metaphor and exag-
geration Of expression which are in vogue
nowadays. II you read good prose and
good poetry without initiating any author
exactly, you will unconsciously contract
the habit Of severer discrimination and
greater purity of FORM
This is the principle underlying the
Harvard proposition. Acquaintance with
the highest models in all literature and
art is essential to those who would work
under the best and noblest inspiration.

The lake trains OF the Minneapolis s
st. Louis collected about 1000 more fares
In April, 1908, than in the same month
Of 1902, and this fact is taken to fore
shadow much larger Minnetonka pop
ulation and travel this year than last.
The increase will not be due to the growth.
of population or to the diffusion OF pros
perity. but to the ever growing interest of
the city dweller or worker in the country.
II the country people are streaming into
the cities to work, the city people are
now pouring into the country to live.
Men who can afford 1t and are not Of the
temperament that demands the excitement
and display OF social life in the city are
making their permanent homes in the
country, and are giving to the city only
their bread winning hours.
This tendency is good sign. Men and
nations to be at their best need to keep
in touch with the soil. In the country a
race may maintain its vigor Indefinitely.
In the city 1t is sure to lose It.
When he goes to the country the city
man learns from his farmer neighbors and
also gives them something in return. His
high estimation Of country life tends to
make his farmer neighbor look at it in a
new way. The city man has made more
of the art Of living and imparts his knowl-
| edge and tastes to the country man. The
city man lives en- his farm and spends
money more for comfort than for re-
turn In crops. Thus he takes back to
the country part Of the wealth that al
ways tends to centralize in the cities
The "cit' finds that life can be much sim
pier and at the same time more enjoy
able. He discovers the freedom of doing
things in a natural way and without al
ways keeping one eye on what his neigh
bors think about it.
The country life Of man Of means
yes Of poor man, is apt to be .saner
healthier life than he can possibly LEAD
in the city. He will get more exercise
more pure. sweet air; more sunshine ant
more broadening and softening' influences
The man who comes to work from thu
green fields and green woods, from {
tonic atmosphere and a smiling Landscape
is likely to be in better bodily and menta
tone than he who leaves a house Of ston.
to walk stony streets to a stony offic,
building, and with nothing but section
of the sky overhead to remind him o
4 nature.

The Public Domain.

AS the public domain grows less the
rate OF reduction apidly Increases Dur
ing the last fiscal year $500, 900 acres
passed from public to private ownership.
OF this amount about Il, DOT, 900 acres were
taken by original homestead entries, to
the number Of $500. Never before in
the history of the country were so many
.homesteads taken. Attic the public dos
main OF Canada is only just beginning to
be distributed, there were nearly five times
as many homestead entries in the United
States as in Canada. Under the stone and
timber act. which will probably be re-
pealed by the next congress, 545, 200 acres
We're taken, while under the desert land
act $4,000 acres were bought from the
government. Other large items In the to-
tai are 1,45S,3H of state selections and
1881, 904 Of railway selections. The total
area Of the unappropriated and unre-
served public domain is 1913 1856, 476 acres,
of which s6s,0oO,000 acres is in Alaska
leaving about 525,ooo,eOo acres in the
states and territories. Most Of this is
mountainous and more or less arid, but
there is no telling What future develop
ments may add to its value, and that q
large part Of it has a present value is
shown by the rush to get some of it. II
Minnesota there are still 3,550,0O0 acres
Of unreserved and ,unappropriated land
tho It is going very fast, more than 600,
900 acres having been taken last year
The total reservations of the public land.
amount to 151,00O,o00 acres.
| Avery considerable area Of government
land outside Of this forest reserves il
covered by forests and about 100, ,0O
acres more will eventually be rendered
valuable by means pf irrigation, to sa.
nothing of the land that will be mad
| tillable by the advance in knowledge con
corning crops adapted to arid and semi
arid regions. Uncle Sam has plenty o
land left to take care Of. Because tn
best part of the public domain has beel
taken is no reason why diligence shoul,

Of it gets where It will do the@mos

Farmers Need Help.

u The Orange Judd Farmer calls attention
to the labor famine on the farms of the
west Farmers everywhere are con-.
farm labor. Agricultural operations are
greatly curtailed simply because it is
impossible to get the services Of y the
necessary human labor. The farm house
hold as well as the farm suffers for lack
of labor. There is a great demand for
scarcer than hired men, The Farmer
suggests that city people who need or
desire country life but are without funds
should take advantage Of the situation
and offer themselves as help for farmers
and their wives.
The suggestion is an excellent one. The
anemic nervous clerk would do well to
quit his employment and go to the coun-
!. try and try hard manual work The city
is full of dissatisfied persons who proba-
bly,. never. will be satisfied in the city.
Why should not some of these break away
city and get out where there is a need of
them; go from where they are not wanted
to where they are in demand? Why
would it not be good for ailing shop girls
and nervous teachers to go to the coun-
try households? Hard work? OF course
but hard physical labor is just what
mentally tired and nervous people otter
need. 3
The social relations Of farmers and theil
help are not such as to offer a bar IL
the most high toned. On the farms The
help, whether men or women, are part o.
the household. There are no distinctions
Every body works hard and the fare is thu
same for all. 81
