athletes. The spreading popularity of track and field sports among boys in their teens Is making for more whole some life among many thousands of them. They are finding new incentives to bracing and vigorous activity, and coupled with it the foundation princi- pies of health. For example. they will listen with respectful attention to the advice of Mfr. Duffey, when observance means winning races. and will paste in their hats such wise counsel as this:
 Let the diet be plain. Dispense with pastries, candies, and, above all, never smoke tobacco, or drink alcoholic li- quors when in training. You will be better without the two latter at all times. Cigarettes are fatal to athletes. Bathe daily and always use tough tow- els after a bath. and after taking your exercise. Never overtax yourself nor exhaust all your strength in any trial. Always finish your training with something left in you Only work the hardest in the race itself. Finally let me impress on all aspiring athletes the fact that rigidness of purpose in training, and steady perseverance are as essential as the bulldog determina- ton necessary to land you a winner at the tape"
 A champion pugilist has recently ex- pressed himself in similar vein, and al- though his calling may be disreput- able, his ideas are well worth a place in every active and ambitious boys memory:
 If had a younger brother. would That does not mean that I would like to have him follow in my footsteps and become fighter. Being a second- class fighter is about the hardest way to make a living I know of. would want him to be an athlete because no man can get the best results out of life without exercising and perfecting his body. I have read that the old Greeks were of the same opinion. They thought that no man could have an active brain unless he had good, strong body for the brain to draw up- on. If were to advise any boy and tell him how to live, would make him go out in the morning and run. Run ming is the best possible exercise, and it does not require any gymnasium or ap- paratus. A good circulation is the best brain. If had boy and wanted him to become a successful business man when he grew up, would send him out to run over the hills''-From the Illustrated Sporting News.

THE AMERICAN COMMON SCHOOL

THE AMERICAN COMMON SCHOOL
 The common school is unique among the worlds agencies of civilization. It is, above everything, the most tangible expression of the honesty and intensity of our national belief in the universal education of all the people. The in diyidual schools reveal more than any thing else the amount and quality of the solicitude of the several comfnuni- ties for the educational welfare of their children. A school cannot long remain below the standard of efficiency which the community supporting it has agreed upon as minimum. Nor will a point at which it can sustain itself by public opinion. In judging school be able to rise much beyond the character of individual schools in the United States, this condition must be borne in mind. From this point all criticism must proceed and to this it must return.
 The coloring given to individual schools by purely local characteristics and aspirations has not been able to obscure, to the seeing eye the under lying greater national thought. All the schools are. in varying degrees of in tensity and intelligence, local express sions of the one unifying ideal of uni versal education. Tn their develop ment they are becoming more and more the principal culture forces for expand ing the social and industrial usefulness of every individual unit of our demo- cracy to Its highest possible degree. The philosophical idea of the foundation of these schools, then, furnishes the key to whatever our national life reveals of educational enthusiasm and pre-emin- ence in industry and commerce,
 The United States is a land of prac- tical attitude and action rather than of theorization. American philosophy is not yet reduced to a logical system. But to the discerning mind it is visibly incarnated in forms of life, in institu- tions, and the historic trend of popular movements. The common school is such an incarnation. It is probably the purest embodiment of American aspira- tions The logical development of the realization reveals the irresistible force behind the institutions
 The common school is yet in it's in- fancy, especially in the east. Out west It's vigorous development is revelaing more closely it's trend in practical phases. But east and west and north and south, everywhere the national hopes incorporated in it are making themselves felt with steadily growing intensity. 3e
 Again and again the Mosely reports speak of the pride American communi- ties take in their schools, MT. Jephson found that the the pushing people out west, even amid all their immediate wants and the stress and strain of get ting a living in new and unsettled lands did not provide good schools. Some of the best schools visited by the Mosely commission were in the west. Oklahoma is singled out for a special word of praise as an object lesson in American ways because, notwith- standing the rush and hustle of settling new territory, the schools had re- ceived careful consideration: Some of the roads may be unpaved, some of the streets not in very first-rate order. but

SUPERIOR COURT DECISIONS.


 Dennis Mitchell, colored, pleaded guilty to burglary of the barn at 50 Charles street in the superior court yes terday and was sentenced to not more than four nor less than three years in. the state prison.
 As stated yesterday nolles were enter ed in the cases of James H. Allison and Dennis Louis Norris, who were arrested for the same offense. It was shown that they had only carried the plunder.
 Philip Raccio, charged with forgry on two counts, pleaded guilty and was sem tenced to term of not more than two nor less than one year in states prison on one count, and two years on another count.
 James P. Hayden of Meriden was tried on two counts, charged with burglarizing the store of Rollins & Col lins of Meriden. The first count was nolled, and on the second he was found guilty, sentence being deferred until Tuesday morning.
 During the trial Joseph Crook, on the witness stand, stated that he had been offered $5 by Meriden policeman to testify in favor of the state, witness further asserting that the money had never been paid him, In direct contradiction to this testino- ny, Policeman Schuerer denied the wit ness assertion. and a fellow officer was sent for in Meriden to corroborate the policeman's story. As the outcome of Crooks testimony he was later arrested by Deputy Sher- if John J. Walsh, on bench warrant for perjury, as the witness was about to leave the court room He was promptly locked up in the prisoners pen and there held to await the action of the court.
 The case os Hayden was Attorney Samuel Alderman's first case. and it was conducted in a masterly manner Attorney Alderman was also appointed to appear for Crook.

 Mir. Anderson says he was especially struck with the discovery that "the people as a whole believe in the abso- lute necessity of a good, sound. general education as one of the principal factors in the building up of a successful state" To this belief he ascrIbes the popular willingness to contribute with out stint to the building and equipment of the common school-Osssian H.

As To cERTAIN suPERsTITIoNs.

AS TO CERTAIN SUPERSTITIONS.
 The strangest thing about life in Rome is that one not only does as the Romans do, but ends by thinking as the Romans think. feeling as the Ro- mans feel. The best illustration know Of this is the mental attitude of the foreign residents toward certain super stitions notably the belief in the evil ye the malocchio or jettatura as it is in- differently called. I never knew an Italian who did not hold more or less to this superstition. Americans who have lived long in Rome either reluc- tantly admit that there does seem to be something in it." or, if they are Ro- man born, quietly accept it as one of those things in heaven and earth of which philosophy fails to take account
 Tn certain respects the Italian is markedly free from superstition as compared with the Celt or the Scot; for instance, the fear of ghosts or spirits is so rare that I have never met with 1t; on-the other hand, the belief in the value of dreams as guides to action is deep rooted and widespread The dream book in some families Is held hardly second in importance to the book of prayer. The Italians eminently practical nature makes him utilize hls dreams in playing the lotto,' as the buying of lottery tickets is called. To dream of certain things indicates that one will be lucky and should play. The choice of the number is the chief pre- occupation of the hardened lottery play CT. It is decided by the oddest-by the number on a bank note that has been lost and found again. or the number of a cab which has brought one home from delightful festivity.

A MOST LIBERAL OFFER.


We notice in a recent issue of the
Minneapolis Times that the progress
sive twin city daily has inaugurated
a popular voting contest for the
benefit of subscribers and their
friends. 1t is termed "The Great
Profit Sharing Contest, and both
old and new subscribers may enter
upon the same conditions.
The subject matter of the inter-
esting contest in which the large
cash prizes will be paid, is the total
popular vote to be cast for Presi-
dent OF the United States on the 9Th
day of November 1904. 1t seems to
US that every man, women and child
in the United States should be in
terested in the greatest election the
country has ever had. It costs
nothing to enter the Times contest
as every cent paid is applied on
subscription. We would suggest
that our readers secure a copy of
the daily or Sunday Times contain
ing the list OF prizes which are Of
fered. Any Of the prizes are for
tubes in themselves and surely
would be acceptable by residents of
this community.

was when the car containing the

arrival was about a half hour late,
