4 String Of Good Stories.
WITTY WOMEN.
II cannon feN how the truth may Be:
say the tale as twas said to me-"

Ohm LA FARCE, the painter, talking in his studio
- about witty women.
ttA witty he said AT least nearly all
And wtticism has indescribable charm when it
is uttered in voice and accompanied by her
pretty smile
Let me relate young woman's witticism that heard
of the other day.
There was man who loved maid, and she returned
his passions but there that made secrecy
rab thus tho the two betrohed they pretended
to the world that they good friends nothing more
One evening, as the young pressing his
heart passontey to his breast her entered the room
suddenly.
The lovers drew apart with great haste and the sister,
with an Excuse me- turned to 90.
But the young man deemed explanation necessary.
He said:
Don't go. We have just been measuring to see which
is the taller
The ntruder standing by the door, looked the lovers
ntenty Then smile fitted her pretty face
said:
You are both about the height, but think
is much the redder.' ~

BRIGHTEN the Way,

bright smile here and a kind word there,
Are little things to give,
But they brighten the way for weary ones,
And help the discouraged to live.
The bright smiles here and the kind words there
Are little things, know
But they are the seed we drop by the way,
Out of which great things may grow.
Just bright smile here and kind word there,
Now try it, my friends, / pray, -.--
Remembering this journeying on,

who smile. no matter what disappoInt-
ments they may meet. They are those
who live the sunshine way and always
look for the bright side to every cloud.
Their hearts can bear a burden too. be-
cause they know there is a sure way to
make it lighter or lift it altogether
which is to help some one else who is in
need Of sunshine.
Remember the folks that love you,
Who know that your aim is true
And prove, like gallant hero
Their estimate of you
There is one thing that will be of great
help to you in overcoming difficulties, and
that is to smile and walk the sunshine
way.

Right and Wrong.

II it is right to enjoy the pleasure of
social life and mingle with the people
whose companionship is delightful to u.s.
it is certainly wrong to devote all of
our leisure hours to selfish enjoyment,
when there are so many people all about
us who are hungry and thirsty for sun
shine.
How much greater the joy of living
when our days are sweetened by bright
smiles, kind words and helpful deeds
which we have lovingly and unstintingly
offered to those who need our sympathy
and help.

Eighty men were in the excavation at the time but only a few were near the loaded hole when the steel drill plunged into sticks of dynamite. There was a terrific rear, the air was filled with particles of stone. fragments of human flesh, pieces of timber, dirt and smoke. Scarcely trace was found in. the excavation of the three men who had stood almost directly over the hole and wben the smoke had cleared away seven others who had been within range of the concussion were stretched out on the ground, their faces and bodies torn and scar ed,

HOT IN MERIDEN
To-days Election Brought Out a Large Vote-It Looks
 Like Reilly.

Meriden. Dec 19.-The hottest may orally fight in the history of the city is on to-day. Already the vote boiled has reached to record breaking pro portions and the leaders on both sides expect that the total vote cast before the polls close at 5 o'clock will reach the dimensions of a presidential year. The rival candidates are Thomas L. Reilly, former manager of the New Haven baseball team, and at present employed as a news writer on the Meriden Journal, and George N. Cur tiss, treasurer of the International Sil- yer Go. Both sides are claiming vic tory and it is very evident the result will be close. The city has for years gone republican, but this year there was some dissatisfaction in the repub- lican ranks because of alleged ring rule and many republicans are expect ed to turn to the democratic candi- date. While the republicans are claiming the victory by close mar gin, the democrats say that Reilly will win by two hundred because of repub- llcan defection.
