Mr.. Lee proceeded to introduce Gov
ernOr Chamberlain, who spoke to the
toast The State Of Connecticut" Mr..
Lee bantered the governor in his usual
pleasant manner and the governor pres
emily squared with him. His excellency
was received with a spontaneous, whole
souled burst OF applause, the orchestra
adding to the volume of the din. He
said he had some experience with
printers. Some of them came from
far distance. and felt as If they loved
me. couldn't go back on the printers,
for they printed the ballots If the bal
lots were not printed 1 would not be
elected. Therefore I owe my elevation

The governor said Connecticut had a
history of which to be proud. and her
sons were still achieving results in va
rious fields of endeavor of which the
coming generations would not be
ashamed.
Thomas Todd was the next speaker.
His proverbs were the best Of the even
ing. They are here appended.
When religious people quarrel about re-
iigion, or hungry people about their victuals,
1t looks as II they had not much Of either
among them" The man who Quarrels with
his victuals Is more than fool.
"a shopkeeper, while selling goods, said
he was losing money on his sales. His Gus
toner asked him how he lived. He replied,
Only by doing a large business good
deal like modern printers.
Drive thy business, let not it drive
thee" II you can set 5000 ems a day
easily, set 1000 at least. And be sure that
your string Is pulled taut when measuring
your type.

your open purse; but the watching Of the
clock and leaving the type in the air when
the stroke is on the twelve oftentimes kills
a workman.
Keep thy shop, and the shop will keep
thee" If the boss leaves thee to mind his
business, mind It WELL for perhaps 1t VIII

needlessly, charge it up on time, for verify
others do the same.
Remember that credit is money" If
the creditor trusts you for a press or for
paper he charges upon the price certain
amount for his bad debts, and you have to
pay it. Clothing and furniture without
cash is very expensive, for you have to pay
much more for either. And besides the
boss is always mad when he receives an
assignment Of wages. Better borrow money
at 10 per cent, and pay cash for your pur
chases for money turned over often IN
creases rapidly.
