But he staggered up and packed me off,
With dozen stumbles and falls.

THE HOME DREssMAKER

The home dressmaker often has much
trouble in fitting herself. A good idea
is to buy one and. one-half yards of
strong lining and cut out perfectly
fitting bodice pattern to come five or
six inches below the waist line. Bone
and stitch it. as if for an ordinary
dress. Instead of hooks and eyes, sew
together down the front, then stuff the
lining firmly with sawdust, shaping it
as you proceed. Sew strong lining
across the bottom SO as to stand on a
table; add a stock collar at neck, with
a piece Of lining across the top. This
model is most useful for draping and
trimming summer blouses, also for fit
ting collars and Jokes.

TIME TO MOVE

Man struts abroad in conscious pride
And loud Of bOasting takes his fill;
Has he not tanned the elements
To serve his will?
Where mighty waters laundering fall
And make the very ground to reel
He chains their giant majesty
To turn his wheel.
The blue surrounding Of the sphere
The limitless expanse of air,
Is but an unseen messenger
His words to bear.
But when the patient outraged earth
In dread revenge for scar and bruise
Sends forth the belching lava streams
Then man SkiddOOs.

LENT.

The Christian world is now living
i'll recluse, so to speak, at least as far
as those who observe Lent are con-
cerned. This solemn period of the
Mother Church began on Ash We'd
nesday and will end with Easter Sum
day. The forty days intervening,
Sundays excluded, are commemora-
tive Of solemn Biblical event and
observed accordingly. While num-
Der of denomination do not regard
all of this period, yet there is now
scarcely church that does not at
least have some special service on
Easter morning in recognition of the
glad time when "He has risen" and
will always live to make intercession
for sinners.

in the life of our Saviour, can find a
fertile field for cultivation during
Lent. This is the one time of the
year when we can well deny ourselves
many luxuries, living only in man.
ner substantial enough for our physi-
cal well being. Let the savings thus
made be put aside to be devoted to
some Christian use. There is so
much good that we can do, and the
Sacred Book records many incidents
of the practical results of self-denial.
So if we go no further than prac-
tice this virtue, using the gains in
some way calculated to be of service
to our God or suffering humanity,
we will indeed feel that on the JOY
Gus Easter morning, when we cele-
brate the coming forth of our Saviour
from the tomb, the lesson He taught
us has been of some moment in our
lives and we have added our mite

whole world.

FOR FIVE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

FOR FIVE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
There is now before the Legislature
a bill increasing the number ofcounty
commissioners of Hartford county
from three to five. 1t provides that
the term and compensation of the
present officials shall not be inter
fered with; that they shall serve the
number of years for which they were
elected, and thereafter their success
sors and two others shall be chosen
each two years. This is going back
to the old system of electing five
county commissioners, one from each
of the FIVE districts of the county,
which was in vogue a number of
years ago. We understand that
Senator Baker has in the Senate a
bill somewhat on the above lines,
except that a minority representa-
ton has been provided for. The cleo
ton of all entirely new board each
two years will bring officials fresh
from the people and successfully
silence all argument in favor of mi
nority representation, which has
been favored by many persons,
should the present six-year term be
continued.
The three commissioner system in
Hartford county has been on trial
since 1894. The first election under
the new law resulted in the choice of
two independent Democrats and one
Republican. At the next election, a
regular Democrat succeeded, and
such has since been the case. In the
Judgment of many persons, the
change has not been an unmixed
blessing, and there is a strong desire
to get back to the old system. Just
previous to last falls election, a
number of prominent Democrats
pledged legislation on these lines, and
the action Of Senator Baker would
indicate that the Republicans are
also thus minded, except they desire
to have members of their own party
on the board.
This feature will not seriously az
peal to those who favor minority
representation when a change can
be effected at the end of every two
years. Then, too, the chances are
that partisanship lines can be more
easily obliterated if not compulsory
by law. If there was fair, honest
spirit shown by the minority party,
it would encourage a feeling of liber-
atty among the members of the
dominant party. But so long as the
county's good is only measured by
the number of local offices that the
Republicans can get, the present or
der of things may be expected.
The proposed change is an exceed
ingly important one, and our citizens
should not hesitate to express their
views, either endorsing the idea out
lined or giving a better one. County
commissioners levy and collect a
large sum of money from the tax
payers, and they should as nearly as
possible represent the sentiments of
those who contribute the annual
amount required to conduct our pub
lie business. No doubt the Legisla-
ture would be glad to be enlightened,
and appreciate any well-timed sug-
gestions.
