Opulence and poverty are close COM

"One of the first objects that caught
attention when began to look about

spicuous yesture. His head was
crowned by large and snowy turban,

wore robe of rose-tinted satin, with
pendant earrings of pearl and neck

when looked below these splendors
found them supported by legs in
frayed cotton pajamas and feet shut

when / came to know more 1t seemed
to me that this figure was typical Of
India. in its strange mixture Of pomp
and squalor. of gorgeousness and
CRIME, of luxury and diEcomfort. of
gold and ashes. of ideal beauty and

Democracy yariously Defined

There are various definitions of the word democracy. Greece is often, and not unreasonably, called the most dem ocratic country in Europe, yet it has king and shows no sign of wishing to get rid of him. Kossuth was the leader of the Hungarian democracy" in seeking to establish a republic, but the Magyars are among the most aris- tocratic of people. England remains loyal to her hereditary monarchy. yet is in some respects actually more democratic than America. So these constitutional democrats in Russia are not aiming at the immediate establish ment of republic. and they are not likely to organize an attack upon the crown or upon the monarchical prln- ciple. They are striving for a consti- tutional system under which the peo- pule will have a voice in the govern ment. and that is something which they now seem reasonably sure of att iaining by peaceful and amicable means.-N. Y. Tribune.

Waterbury Statement. Disinterested Opinion from One Of Your Owl
 Town Should Convince You.

Dr Richards's Dyspepsia Tablets for stomach and bowel troubles Is the best medicine known for the pur- pose. We do not claim that our rem edy is good for all diseases. but we do claim that 1t cures dyspepsia.
 MT J. E. Williams of 37 West Farm street, Waterbury, Conn, agrees with us. He says:
 T have suffered from indigestion for more than ten years. My food sn- stead of digesting used to sour and lay on my stomach. causing me great distress. was extremely nervous and irritable and was in a bad way physically all round. I saw Dr Rich- ards's Dyspepsia Tablets advertised and went to Apothecaries' Hall and got a bottle. They have done me SO much good. I feel as if l could not say too much in their praise. l can eat things now I would not dare to look at before I began using these tablets. My general health has i'm proved 100 per cent

THE MAGYARS IN HUNGARY
How the Emperor Brought tho Re fractory Element to His
 Terms.

The New York Times thus elucidates the recent triumph of the old em. peror of Austria Hungary over the re- fractory Magyars by his threat of in- troducing manhood suffrage They have acquiesced in his autocratic rule in the army because of it. The threat was the subjection of the ruling classes in Hungary to the majority of the population through manhood suffrage. This says the Times:
 "Of the 45,o00.O00 population of Austria and Hungary, some 12.000,0 ,000 are Germans, and about 9,000,000 are Magyars. The Germans are, though a minority in Austria. the most influen- tial element, as are the Magyars in Hungary. The immediate cause of thsrrecent trouble was the eiaim of the Hungarians that their language should be used in the words Of com mand addressed to the Hungarian troops in the imperial army. In both Austria and Hungary the conditions of suffrage-property qualification and the right of persons in certain oc- equations to vote. together with the concentration of powers in the upper branches of the parliament-give to the Germans in Austria and to the Magyars in Hungary decided ad. vantage. It was the possible with. drawal in part of this advantage that induced the present compromise" The solution is extremely satisfactory so far as the immediate future is con. cerned. But 1t is plain that an ele- ment has been introduced in the gov. ernment of the two nations that may produce serious changes The idea of manhood suffrage once lodged in the popular mind Is not easily dismissed from it."

 Mrs J. D. McGowan and daughter, Louise attended the ceremony or the laying the corner stone of the Thomas ton Catholic church yesterday. At the special town meeting Sat urday evening 1t was voted to ap- prove the action of the selectmen in granting the D. A. R. the privilege or building a drinking fountain near the residence of George Harper. The ad- journed town meeting took place I'm. mediately after the special and was very interesting, as there was quite a difference of opinion of where the soldiers monument should be erected. Dr Jackson, Buell. Hemingway and Vim J. Munson favored Evergreen cemetery, but were over-whelmingly defeated. on a motion to place 1t there It was finally voted to place 1t on land was finally voted to place 1t on land owned by the Congregational society, provided the land was deeded to the town. An appropriation of S5OOOO was made towards the fund for a monument The speech of E. NJ. Black was the principal one of the evening, as usual.

WHERE ROLLS THE OREGON
Region Where Everyone Is Judged by His Ability to Grow
 Fruit,

There's the cooperative idea in the valley. You can see 1t when the di rectors of the Fruit Growers union hold their weekly meeting in the lit tie shed which forms their headquar ters, says Harris Lloyd, in Outing Mag azine. Here Chris and Hank and Ned and Jim sit on apple boxes or the managers desk or lean against the window sill while they discuss the business the manager presents to them. They are merely the half dozen grow CTS who have been selected to settle the question of prices for the com. munity and where to ship the harvest. They suggest to the manager what they think is best, then hurry away to finish up picking or spraying or whatever else there is on hand, leaving him to do the rest. Sometimes there's the question about the best kind of fruit to send to a certain place. Will 1t stand the climate? Will 1t keep long enough? -~...e.. -+
 Let us leave it to Old Man Tucker" {"  says Hank.
 In comes the old man. Coatless, his blue shirt unbuttoned at the throat, his features literally gnarled by the 60 years he has been making the world give him living. He doesn't look exactly like a man who can tell the nice points of an apple as the palm ist tells the lines of your hand, but his word is the final judgment, for he has never erred yet. Ask who he Is and you hear: Why, he's the one whose Newtown pippins are so good that they so to Europe" And beside him the college graduate, even the mayor. has to take back seat. Here in the valley he Is one of the biggest men, even if he does come to town in his shirt sleeves and rides bicycle because he hasn't time to mitch up." Everybody is as good as his neighbor- good enough to be called by his first name No matter where one has come from or how high his former standing. here he is measured by one thing-his ability to grow fruit.

BOY WHO WILL GET ALONG
Small Vender. of Newspapers Who Knows How to Attract
 Patrons.

That embryonic merchants are to be found among the newsboys of Phila- delphia, says the Philadelphia Record, was revealed in the following dialogue with one of the craft, who is particu- larly bright and alert, while, as has been found by several men who are his patrons, is also scrupulously honest:
 Give me a paper. son."
 "Yes. sir: here you are. sir. Never mind the money, sir; you can give me that at another time"
 Why, how can you do business in that way? You don't know me. How do you know you'll ever get your money?"
 "Oh. 1 know you; I see you every day and have been waiting to get you to buy a paper"
 Well. I've bought one. What now?"
 Now I want you to buy one every day: won't you, sir? You need not pay me when you buy it. I'd rather you paid me every Saturday; will you. please, sir?"
 "Of course, I will. my little man."
 Thank you, sir. Good-by."
 ''Good-by."
 Here was enacted an incident that showed the true commercial instinct. and the man was not slow to see 1t and encourage it. He insists that he will follow up that boys career and do whatever he can to promote his in- terests.
