Roosevelt by 465 votes, he received a larger percentage of the total vote cast for congressman in his district than Roosevelt received in the state. Again, Sperry ran ahead of Roosevelt by IFS votes, but did not receive as large q percentage of the votes cast in his dis trict for congressman as Roosevelt re- ceived of the votes cast for president in the state The candidate that comes out winner in both these tests is the brilliant young congressman of the third district. Brandegee not only ran ahead of Roosevelt by 222 votes, but also received 60 per cent of the votes cast in his district-the largest per centage received in the state. Brande- gee received the largest majority given to congressman in the third district for eight years. Prank is q vote -getter, and no mistake. He is clean and upright. The people know him. He is destined to stand high in the councils of the nation.

In the maintaining of the state roads so little experience has been had on the part of the highway commissioners and the people in general that it is once built that it will maintain itself, says an exchange. Many highway commissioners and town boards feel this same way toward an iron bridge and neglect to paint il, but even a bridge built of iron when neglected loses it's strength just the same as road built of stone if neglected will go to pieces. The real life of q stone road is depen- dent upon the care which it receives during the first six months after if is finished. and the perpetual attention which it receives after that some commissioners think that when q road is completed if the loose stones are raked off once ill thirty days that if will maintain itself for three or foln years, and then the road can be re- surfaced with top dressing and steam roller and again become as good as new and ready to 20 three years longer without attention. This method of caring for roads is far from economical and satisfactory. The best way to maintain q road is. as soon as it is turned over by the state to the town. to engage q man to take charge of fivc-mihe section at all agreed price per year and put him in charge of the road, providing him with surface material. which is stored at regular intervals on each side of the road for rcsurfncing.
 This man goes every day with his rake. his shovel. his hoe and his wheel barrow the entire distance of the road, rain or shine. He removes the loose stones. he keeps the shoulders low at the side of the road so that the water passes freely over them to the ditch, he keeps the sluices opened bc fills the Impressions. fills tine ruts and repairs each spot as fast as the surface dress ing wears off or blows away. It is this constant attention which keeps the road always in good order and at the least expense 10 the community. Our American road builders may be inex- pcricnced in handling stone roads. but il won't take long to adopt the best methods. which long years of usage in Europe have proven to he the most economical.

Germany possesses a miniature but most useful railway to which no paral- lel is found in this country. Its pc cuiarity is that its trains have no drivers. It is used for carrying salt from the salt mines at Stassfurt. The trains consist of thirty trucks, each carrying half ton of salt. The cn- zines are electric, of twenty-four horse power each. As it approaches sta ton, of which there are five along the line, the train automatically rings a bell. and the station attendant turns q switch 10 receive it. He is able to stop 1t at any moment. To start it again he stands on the locomotive, switches on the current. and then de scends again before the engine has gained speed.

The empress of Japan smokes pipe. This sounds strange, but, as a matter of fact. the pipe she smokes is a dainty bit of bric-a-brac that would not soil the lips of any girl.

After each smoke the pipe is carefully cleaned--a process gone through with many times a day. Cleveland Leader.
 If Congressman Hill should prove to be the dark horse" and win in the race for the United States senatorship. the state would be the gainer. says the Ansonia Sentinel, for Congressman Hill halls from Connecticut and his work as a member of congress has been along lines for the good of all the people. He has no ''clams'' on the office. Congressman Hill has been, and is still, an honor to Connecticut.

In speaking of ihe result of the re- cent election the Windham County Ob- server says that Congressman Brande
 gee was the hest vote gettcr. notwith- standing the Roosevelt landslide. It says: The OfiiciaI returns Of the re- cent election in Connecticut show some very interesting facts. We find that Congressman Sperry. in his con grcssional district. ran ahead of Prnsi- dent Roosevelt by IFS votes. while Congressman Frank Brandegee in his district ran ahead Of Roosevelt by :2,2,.: votes. All tho other congressman ran behind Roosevelt. Lilley ran behind
 Roosevelt over 2GN0 votes. hut got over 1000 more than Roberts. Henry ran behind Roosevelt i6si votes while Hill ran behind Roosevelt 4G5 votes. This goes to show the extent Of the Roosevelt landslide. inasmuch as he was able to run ahead of these three popular congressman in their own re- SDective districts. The official returns also show that LiIley got :. per cent 0f the vote cast in the state for candi- dates for congressmen-at-large Henry got # per cent of the votes cast in his district for congressman SpeTEy got .5 per cent and Hill 5e per cent. while Brandegee got op per cent.

The Cradle of Politeness.

Resolve that home ever shall be the brightest, merriest, happlest spot on earth, and, each keeping the resolution, it will be so. Of all places, the father should be the politest seated in his own home. No mother makes grand CT mistake than when she forgets the most delicate etiquette in the presence Of the little ones who learn to read her thoughts before utterance. If you se~ boy thoughtful and gentle of speech to his sister, set it down that he has heard those very intonations from his fathers lips addressing that boys mother.
 Hear that daughter snarllng out some pettish response, and you may set it down as the echo Of the mothers words. No doubt children inherit bod. fly disease and mental qualities, but these more often are made misery or a blessing ty the impressions received from superiors while in childhood. A child cannot always be easily trained to be polite from principle, and yet it is a grand accomplishment There is a way of saying, Il thank you," You are very kind" Allow me to assist you," that makes one feel he is in tine presence of refinement. We never wit ness the rosy, healthy miss arise and ask the old grayheaded man. tOttering upon his cane to take her comfortable seat, without mentally taking off our hat and lowing reverently to the mother at home who trained that girl.
 Boys and girls who, from principle, are trained to politeness are walking libraries and educate more and better than is known.
