NH HAYEE sUnn oF s1rETE.

The New Haven Citizens League has a good start. and we make no doubt that 1t is destined to grow in grace, power and benefcence. We had almost said wisdom too. but we don't believe there is any need of saying that. Es- peeialIy encouraging and indicative of its grip is it's plan to have a dinner in the near future with eminent speakers at the principal table. This plan may be slightly initiative, but the best things are not always the original things. and a League that knows what things to initiate is a canny League. The Chamber of Commerce has dinners with eminent speakers at the principal table, and the League shows it's sagacity in following an example whose merits and benefits need no encomiums. or even longer or more high-sounding words. Being on the right track we hope the League will stay there, and not only eat in the near future. but eat once a year in the future not so near. It should also, we think, date it's meal so as to have it so far away from the Chamber of Commerce dinner that it will not lose any of its significance or influence by nearness to that long and justly eel ebrated meal. The idea would be to have the two meals six months apart. Thus the power and the glory and the push of both would keep New Haven going through the rolling years with ease and safety. Since we have learn ed how things go we have believed that if sodom. and Gonorrah had had public-spirited dinners enough with eminent speakers at the principal table they would not have been destroyed. If New Haven needs saving she is all right now. Watch her as she marches proudly yet lnodestly on under the in spiration and, guidance of eminent speakers and the control of the Board of Control.

KYIDExoE

Those who had an opportunity to see what evidence as given in courts is will not be much surprised by some facts collected by Mile. Marie Borst, French woman. Her method was to show to a subject picture representing some scene of daily life, leaving it in his hands for limited time. say for a min ute. Then, after 8 brief interval, the subject was caused to describe the pic- ture in writing, and afterward was questioned orally about 1t. There were twelve subjects of each sex, or twenty four in all. Each was examined five times, the whole work occupying a period of six weeks. Mile. Borst classi- fled her results, noting correct answers, wrong answers, certain and uncertain, answers given under oath. etc. It was found that entirely faithful evidence was an exception; every witness sup piled from his imagination the omis- sions of the memory. In spontaneous deposition about ten per cent. of the statements were incorrect. Dispositions obtained by interrogation were longer, but less faithful It was found that the character of evidence improved by practice.
 So far not surprising. But some will be surprised by Miss Borst's discovery that evidence given by women was more complete more faithful than that given by men. Of course when one stops to think it is plain that this must be So, but perhaps the general impress sion of the minimizing is the other way.

oITIT THE MIND 100 SOON.

Ten men employed in the Gambrinus Mine on the outskirts of this little mining town have great joke on the Eastern company that has the proper ty under bond. The company was un- able to meet its obligations to it's em- ployees under the bond through some misfit between the Eastern stockhol- ders and their money bags.
 As the only honorable way out of the dilemma the management at the mine here told the men that they could take the mine and mill and run it them- selves until Nov. 22, unedr the restric- tions of the bond, and possibly they might take out enough gold to pay them what was their due and for their work in digging out their pay.
 The miners fell in with a will and fortune smiled upon them. They struck good pay streak and the little two stamp mill was kept pounding away on all the ore that could be shoyelled in to 1t day or night The miners had worked on their own hook only a few days when all arrears were paid up in full, and now they are clearing all the way from s4 up to $16 a day for each man. They never make less than the big wage of $4 day, and $16 has been the highest wage taken out, Ten dol lars a day is about the average and they have almost a month right of way ahead of them.

The Rise Of orsOn.

We never thought thet Orson Jones, the blacksmith of our town, Was cut out fer Q scholar ner could rise to great renown. His face Is red, his feet is big, he's got
 a hairy arm: He loves to spend his holidays in 1eadin'
 on the farm. And as for books, wa'al now, VOW, the most he's done as yet Is to rubber at the pictuhes in the old
 Perlice Gazette. But this summer two young fellows
 came and talked a while with
 Orse, And took him of to school with them
 to start college course We chuckled at tn idee, but 1t want 8
 month, swar, I'll the papers were so full of Jones,
 there wasn't much else thar. We see his picture every day, he's ia
 nous as kin be; He's called the greatest half-back on
 the hull darned varsity. Of course we're mighty proud of Orse;
 we're glad he clumb to fame; It makes us thrill with happiness when
 e'er we see his name, And we'd love t see him diggin' at his
 Latin and his Greek, And a-writin' high-hown esseys and
 orashuns every week; But there's jest one thing thet stumps
 us-it's a puzzle, we're agreed, How man kin shine at college when
 he don't know how to read.

right. Higgins has kinder liked that bear ever since the night he found him curled up in his bed.'
 Surely, there are great possibilities in half-a-dezen wild animals which are loose and have no fear of man. The writer was more than interested to know if there was any news of others, and encouraged his companion by an innocent question.
 Of course you've heard about yer fox?" said the driver. by way of an- swer; 'the little fellow they call 'sprite ?''
 The writer had heard many things about the little animal in question. but not during the last week, so he grave ly shook his head.

They've got big family down there. and they all turned out to keep him off. Her son got his gun and was going to shoot him, at first, but one of the little ones told it was. yours, so he turned in to help keep the critter away from the hens. When it came dinner time, they had to take turns; some of them going inside, while the others stayed out to watch the fox. But he tired them all out, and got one of the hens, after all Z
 Not one of those prize hens?" in- terjected the writer, somewhat taken back.
 'Yes, sir, one o'them prize Leghorns; the fox went over the wall, grabbed the hen, and ran clean through the barn and off into the fields with it. Hersum said it was worth the hull price of admission to see the nerve of that fox he didn't seem to care any more for those people than if they'd been so many fence-posts.
 There were still several animals to hear from, and with some hesitation in his voice, the writer yentured to inquire after one of them.
 Have you heard if my young wolf is all right?'
 "The coyote, you mean?" Yes, I guess he's all right; he was day before yesterday, anyway. There was a feller up from the city to see you, that day, and the wolf went for him and tore his pants. They wus brand-new, and creas- ed down the front, and guess the coy ote hadn't seen any like that, and wouldn't stand for it. Yes, I guess he's all right
 The writer did not think fit to ask any more questions, but began to figure whether the article which might be written concerning the misdeeds of his half-savage guests would net him enough to pay for the damage they had done. But after all, what mattered It? The sight of these beautiful creatures coming and going to and from the house which they had learned to know as .'honep was enough to pay ten times

No wonder the Japanese are efficient. They don't fritter away their powers by reading the novels of the day" The imperial library of Japan is in Tokio. The library is always crowded during it's open hours with industrious readers. What do they read i? aThe records show that of the books called for by these readers 21.6 per cent, or 166,677, were classified under the head of mathe- matics; 20 per cent, or 153,711, were se- .rious works on literature and languag- .es; IS per cent. were histories and geographies, and about per cent. re lated toreligion and theology. The rest of the applications were for books on art, industries, engineering and military and naval sciences. Trashy fiction and light literature found no appreciable place in the classified table of books in de- mand by the patrons of this library, and this Is also the case everywhere that reading matter is free for the pub- lie in Japan.
 Perhaps most of the Russians who are fighting the Japanese don't read at all. But if they read 'the novels of the day. they would be worse licked than they have been.

A RETURN TO THE COUNTRY.

Sometimes the writer receives a scalI' from some big city, and leaves for Ia brief space his home in the New Hamp- shire hills, that he may preach in per- son ''the gospel of the open.'' An! what a relief 1t is to get back again to the country away from the nerve racking vibration of the elevated rail- road, from the roar of the subway. from the changing of trolley bells-away from the odor of smoke, of gas, and of kitchens away from the sIush of the streets and the death bearing dust of the cars; back again to the pure, snow covered hills and fields, to the sound of the wind in the pine trees, to the crystalline music of the winter birds, to the sweet odor of the woods. where we breathe the air but once.
 Yesterday afternoon the writer alighted at little New Hampshire railway station, and made his way to the rear platform, where big, round- faced young man was skillfully curbing 8 pair of big, powerful bay horses, which seemed anxious enough to run away with the sleigh to which they were harnessed. It was the driver of a local stage which carries the mails, and the passengers, when there are any, to a large town, twenty miles away, and Incidentally to some little towns and numerous farrnhouses in between. I jumped in, tucked the big bearskin robe about me, and as the driver gave the horses their heads, the sleigh leaped forward amid a crashing of sleigh-bells For a mile or more the horses plunged along, seemingly for the very joy of rapid, moving, and then as we came to a long hill they reluctantly allowed themselves to be pulled in, first to a trot, finally to vigorous walk. Then it was that the driver turned his smiling red face to the rear. and remarked:
 Glad to see you. siri Just gettin' back?. The writer admitted that he was. and that he had been away for "a week.
 Heard anything about your bear?" queried the driver with chuckle.
 Since I went away, you mean? No"
 When the writer is in the city, his friends never bother him with any an- moving incidents which may occur in his absence.
 Whats he been doing now?"
 Well, he went down to Paul Hug gins, the other night, and broke a pane of glass trying to get into the eel lar window. Then he went in and pulled down a shelf of canned fruit broke six jars, Miss Huggins says-and then he pulled the top offer the molasses bar'l, an guess he eat more'n was good for him. for they found him lying on the floor kind of drunk or stupid next morning.
