Mr. Commissioners, D. G.. Gents-There
was something doing down In my home;
my castle, my refuge. yesternight. l had
q birthday yesterday the first one In
year and after work went out with three
of my associates in the boiler factory and
imbibed four stems of the extract of hops
in celebration of the event. / then went
home to the bosom of my family. carrying
my pay envelope, and when | arrived there
! delivered my wages. as usual, to my wife.
Molly. wishing her merry Xmas and
happy New Year. When Molly opened my
envelope she found it was twenty cents shy.
Suspicious, she crept up to me and shifted
the odor of fermented hops which | had
previously absorbed. With Shrek, Molly
declared that now she could not get that
green feather for her red bonnet. marked
down to $1.9S from S. and / cried, oh,
rapture whereupon, in fit of rage. Molly
raised an oak chair over her head, intend
ing to put me out of commission But the
chair unfortunately struck the chandelier
instead. and when l picked Molly up out of
the pile of broken chair, lamp globes, gas
jets, ct cetera. she bore evidences OF having
participated in vigorous disturbance.
However, no sooner had / laid her care
fully on the sofa than she began screaming
for the neighbors and declared had come
home drunk again. and attempted her life.
while the neighbOrs went out In the yard
and cut the clothes line, intending to give
me lift in life. Now, I don't mind Molly's
having her little jokes, and branding me
before the neighbors as q barbarOus Zulu,
have her fun as well as the rest of us. but
I do object TO paying for MolIy's jokes by
barring my back TO the lash at the whipping
post. That Is carrying the Joke little too
far. in my opinion, but maybe am wrons.
Up SIR q fellow can't be allowed 10
blow up his wife once In awhile. I'll so out
and blow up all the monuments In iowa.

ress Every energetic, wide-awake pro-
gressive state, we are apt to reason with
ourselves, has a debt, and usually large
and growing one, and the same is generally
to be said of municipalities and private
business corporations.
But Connecticut is peculiar. 1t may be
said not to know what a state debt is. 1t
never had such debt at all. apparently
until the civil war when one of some S1O.-
100000 was contributed in aid Of suppress
ing the rebellion. How the good old COM
monwealth ever came, even then, TO De
shaken out of its steady debtless habits Is
a question--one testifying to the profouno
upheaving influences of that conflict as no
other single bit of evidence is able to, But
Connecticut did borrow some money tneh.
and issue some bonds. However, II mas
never done so since. it never had done
SO before and now that debt is practlcaiiy
