A Few Wise Observations.

Education does not consist in know
ing a lot of unnecessary things.
Liberty means responsibility. and re-
spOnsibility tests the man and the race.
In rare families as in rare books the
editions are limited.
Because a man is polite to you don't
presume that his time is without value.
Many men stOOp to conquer and some
of them stoop very low.
Your average school board is the I'M

There is great power in beauty, and
greater power in love.

The newspapers of Connecticut, and
presumably the people of that state
also, are much pleased because the
first commander of the new battieship
Connecticut is himself a native son of
that state. He is Commander William
Swift. and is not only a native of Con-
necticut, but comes from one of its best
known and most respected old families,
his grandfather having been for many
years chief justice of the Connecticut
supreme court, and the author of sew
eral well-known law books. Comman-
der Swift graduated from Annapolis in
1862, and has since seen service in all
parts of the world, serving for a time
as provincial governor of Guam. OF
late he has been a member of the naval
board at Washington.
