HE WON HIS RET.

 breakfast dishes. too, in an hour and a half. You women dawdle so about your work and make so much of unim- portant things
 "Oh, yes, that is about as much as a

 would like to give you little lesson on

 It had been a hot week and Old Sol
 seemed to have gathered himself for a
 final effort this morning. Mrs. Golf's systematic methods had been some what interfered with by unexpected company and Friday had actually gone by without the usual weekly rem ovation, much to her disgust, for like
 most orderly housewives she had a cute little programme to which she rigidly adhered. Even though tired muscles
 quivered with pain and overwrought
 nerves protested against such a relent- less system, she would drag through
 the part laid out for each day, instead of taking a good rest and then doub- ling the work the next day when she felt equal to. the exertion.
 Mrs. Golf didn't keep help, partly be-
 cause she wanted her three children to learn to work and partly because, be- ing a strong, healthy woman, it would interfere with her household economics to do so. |
 There was a little more discussion on the subject, and then each one started out to give the other a beautiful lesson.
 It isn't often that two persons plan to get such widely divergent illustrations from the same little performance. She was just to keep out of the way until

He decided to do the sweeping first so the kitchen might cool off trifle, and armed with broom and dustpan he mounted to the upper rooms. A small space was swept first and chairs, ta- bles, etc., showed together and covered with a nice, clean sheet to keep the dust off, while bric-a-brac of various
 kinds was tunbled on to the beds with charming disregard of immaculate
 counterpanes and dainty pillow covers. It was inspiring to see how the carpet succumbed to each vigorous stroke of
 his broom, which sent the dust curling
 in marvellous eddies high up to the cell ing while his face grew more apoplec- tic in appearance as the work pro- gressed. But he went on, and in an ir-

mnNKY TALKS.

No big talk in New Haven yet to cheer the dropping Democratic heart but they say some is coming. They also say that something else is coming. The story is that the Parker managers have some money for Connecticut, and $25,OoO is mentioned as the sum. Of
 course $25,O0O isn't much in these boom days, but it will be much to those who iget it. No sympathetic person will be- grudge the Democrats of Connecticut, and especially the Democrats of New Haven, the comfort they can get out of l$25, ,000. Their hearts are sore and their
 backs are weak. They are not even in |sight of the promised land, and they
 have no Moses, in spite of the tactful hint of Brother Bryan that Parker is a
 Moses. He isn't. ts
 Money talks, and if $25,OO0 is coming Ito Connecticut from the Democratic managers we hope that which comes to New Haven will comfort the Democrats of this region for their loss of the big talk they thought was due them.

pR1yERs ANp FOOL SELLING.

There is a suggestion for the rule committee of the next congress of the National Trotting Association in the circumstance surrounding the han ldling of the Michigan gelding Mckinley at the Readville. Providence meetings By reference to the summaries of the above meetings it will be seen that in leach of the Mckinley races at those Itracks, it was deemed by the judges lexpedient in the interests of the horses chances to win, to change the driver lafter the race had begun, and this was accordingly done. Mir Geers being sub- lstituted for the junior Boone at Read Iville and A. P. MoDonald at Providence.
 There was in either race not the slight lest intimation of a more serious indict- Iment against the young man originally Iselected to drive than his inability to realize on the speed which the horse was known to possess and it was not tonly by his consent but upon his SO llicitation that new driver was se-
 lected.
 Undoubtedly the change of drivers Twas fully justified in both races, inas- much as immediately thereafter the Trace took on a new phase, and the horse won without the slightest difii- tculty. But the thing that was suhver- tsive of justice ,and that leads to the suggestion of a rule upon the. subject,
 was the fact that many bettors had placed their money against Mckinley with the understanding that the regu- ! lar driver was to be entrusted with his chances. In other words they risked their money not much against the a- lbility of the horse as upon the inabil- 5ity of the driver, and the judges upset their calculations when they ordered la substitution. What offered to them a fair betting proposition and a chance | for their money. became a lead pipe 'cinch" for the other fellows when the change of divers was made.
 The qualifications of the drivers all ways have and have right to be con- lsidered a factor in the better's judge Iment, and if he chooses to back the driver instead of the horses he is en- titled to as much protection as those who have backed the horse and ignor- led the driver, except the cases where
 fraud enters into the proposition. There

The wood of silence.

l Z Tn the Wood of Silence everything goes Very deep the shade is, and hushed the
 joyous song; The heart sings on the highway and in the field of sheaves Who could lift song to such a roof
 of leaves? Tn the upland valley the lovers danced Down beside the river still their laugh
 ter rang. Then they crossed the cornfield, pass
 ed the white-barred gate. And knew the Wood of Silence where
 the shadows wait. Once within it's darkness came the
 sudden change. Each. quick glancing sideways, found
 the other strange. They forgot the wind, there and the In the ea Wood SSSft Of Silence comes the end
 of love. Out upon the roadway with the Wood still they felt it's magic hold their
 spirits blind; Though they strove with laughter to
 mask each hidden thought, Nothing could unravel the spell the
 shadows wrought. Not the falling sunset nor the falling
 light,
 As the hill they mounted, brought so
 deep night, Darkness all about them, darkness in
 the heart, Hand in hand they journeyed, all a
 world apart. Nevermore together to stand as they
 had stood Watching for the dryads in the En-
 chanted Wood; Or to tread the winding road and hear
 the lark above; In the Wood of Silence came the end
 of love.

\. HENRY BARNks.

Another of New Haven's notable business men and good citizens has ceased from his labors. E. Henry Barnes, who died yesterday afternoon, had filled large place in the business world, and had achieved much. He was Ia good illustration of what industry, courage and sagacity can do. He was quick in decision, prompt in action. and not afraid of difficulties, He carried on big affairs with ease and skill, and his uncommon powers were recognized and appreciated by many great business men with whom he was associated in various enterprises. He was stauneh supporter of what he believed to be good, was firm in friendship, and reli- able in all the relations of life. He did much for New Haven in many ways, and the loss of his talents and enter prise is a large one. It will be felt in many other places as well as here.

 ereditably short time he had swept the entire eight rooms and was ready to begin on the dishes.
 Mrs. Golf heard the dishes rattle. She remembered her promise. to keep out of the way. But her Woman's cu- riosity was strong. She must take a peep at John in all the majesty of his new vocation. She managed to pos sess her soul in patience until fifteen minutes of the specified time, and then she ventured into the kitchen. The cleaning piles of china were white and clean, but the water No need to in- quire what constituted the breakfast menu. One glance was sufficient. Bits Of steak floated around on tiny rafts of toasted bread, eggshells played tag with melon rinds, and grapes eareened lcomplaeently around the sWirling mass as he rescued a few belated silver spoons from it's shadowy depths.
 "Oh, John" exclaimed the mortified woman, you never scraped the pIates!" .a
 Well, should say notl Whats the use of fooling away so much time? I rinsed them in hot water. You couldn't get them any cleaner yourself, I tell you women waste too much time on trifies. While you are getting ready to do a thing man would have plunged into it and had it done. !"
 The dignity of this remark was some what impaired by his ludicrous appear ance. Big white aprons are not usual I ly very becoming to men, and, com bined with MT. Golf's ample propor- tions and the huge polka dots of coal smoke, with the towel which had served as a sweeping cap still perched on his head, he was anything but an impressive figure. Nothing daunted, however, he continued his little lecture. TT tell you, said he, women don't know how to economize time. They don't know how to simplify and sys- tematize. Perhaps the new woman, with all her fine theories, will learn to bring some of the order and method of office work into the homes and that the morning hours mustn't be devoted to Ineighbors and newspapers and d.
 He didn't finish his homily-his wife was convulsed with laughter, two of his friends had sneaked in the back way just in time for the finish, and al- though he had won his bet with five minutes to spare he privately admitted to them that if he got caught in such a trap again his name was Dennis. He said he would rather make estimates against big printing house on a two cent margin, correct the office boys first proof or even try to collect a bill for posters aud programmes from a travelling concert company than go through such an experience again. It required a good deal of hard work on the part of Mrs. Golf to bring order tout of the chaos of dust which he had created and which he stoutly insisted lit was no part of his province to re- move. And it made her very sad to find a delicate vase shattered and the nose off a fayorite statuette; but, take Fit all in all, she considners the experi- ment a grand success, for since that itime John has grown remarkably reti- Ecent on the subject of improved meth iods and rapid results, and she realizes Ifhat an unwontsd consideration has grown out of that little Sunday morn ling episode.
