F. s. Peck, of this city, and E. N.
Peck, of East Haddam. had an eXcit-
ing race yesterday with a doe in the
river opposite the Champion House at
East Haddam.
The Pecks were running up the riv-
er in their fast motor boat when they
saw a doe swimming out of the mouth
Of the Salmon River and headed across
the Connecticut toward the west shore.
The river is very wide it this point
and the occupants of the boat decided
to catch the deer before she reached
the Tylerville shore. The deer say
their intention and swan with great
speed, but the boat finally drew along
side so that the occupants could touch
the animals head. AS soon as the doe
touched bottom near the Tylerville
shore she gave a tremendous jump,
then leaped a fence and sped up across
the railroad and disappeared in the
woods.
Last summer some people who were
cruising near Essex saw a buck swim
ming the river, and on drawing along
side one of the occupants tried to grasp
the animals horns. Thereuron the
deer lifted a front hoof from the water
and gave the boatman a lunge in the
chest which nearly showed him into
the water. - Middletown Correspond

but n ruler; it is impossible to de-
stroy a government where all the mill
ions are rulers. The most conserva-
tive, prudent and stable government Is
a government of all, by all and for all.
History is full of the ruins Of all the
other forms of government. The old
monarchies already seem like ancient
oaks, rotted out at the heart, and no
man knows what storm will bring them
crashing down. At last the Republic
is avenged. She might yer have the
right to turn her face toward the east
and say of Russia, Austria and Ger
many: "Now l give you forty years.
After your Niagara, what? Yours is
a country where wise business men
and scholars discuss problems and one
feeble-minded ruler decides them"
For events have turned every argu-
ment to-day in favor of the republic
and against autocracy and bureau
cracy.
Who can overestimate the impor-
lance of these anniversary days of lib
erty, these holidays that commemorate
the beginning of free institutions! AL
ways when patriotism has revived, ma
tionai wealth and prosperity have re-
vived with it. The great age for the
Isles of Greece, where Plato thought
and Sappho sang, was the day when
every citizen was a patriot, sincere, he
roic and ready to die for his country.
The great epoch of art, beauty and lib
erty for Florence was the era when pa
triotism, like a mighty flood, swept
over Italy. The golden age for little
Switzerland, with its brilliant past; for
brave little Holland and for glorious
old England was the age when patriot
ism was at it's best. And what our
land needs above all else, after a revi-
val of ethics and righteousness, is a re-
vival of patriotism and love of country.
1t is given to citizens of other nations
to exult and cry, This is mine own, my
native land" But how much more to

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees With Him About Food.

"
A trained nurse says: "ln the prac-
tice of my profession have found so
many points in favor of ~Grape-Nuts
food that | unhesitatingly recommend
it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate IAN essential in food for the sick
and can be adapted to all ages, being
softened with milk or cream for babies
or the aged when deficiency of teeth
renders m~astication impossible. For
fever patients or those on liquid diet |
find Grape-Nuts and albumcn water
very nourishing and refreshing. This
recipe is my own idea and is made as
follows: Soak a ~teaspoonfEl of Grape
Nuts i'll a glass of water for IN hour,
strain and serve with the beaten white
of an egg and n spoonful of fruit juice
or lavoring. This affords Il great deal
of nourishment that even the weakest
stomach can assimilate without any
distress.
My husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders 1t
many times for his patients.
Personally l regard q dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stcwcd fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyonc-well or

WHERE tie DECLARATION INDEPENDENCE
WAS SIGNED JULY I776

Life up your eyes and look out upon
these lakes and rivers, the vineyards
and orchards, the pastures and
meadow, the herds and locks. What
wealth we already have! What wealth
also exceeding more is to be ours! Is
it a great history that strengthens pa
triotism?
Think of the Pilgrim Fathers, the he
role age in the country's history, the
scenes at Bunker Hill and Valley
Forge, the victory for independence,
Webster's struggle for liberty and
union; States one and inseparable;
think of the victory for the schools for
children, the hospitals, the phi.anthro-
pies, the reforr 5, the laws. Think Of
these halls Of science, tie galleries of
art, the chapels, the libraries, the
churches with their lofty towers. Is it
a noble ancestor? All, the fathers and
founders stained with their life blood
this banner Of liberty and made bright
these stars on the sky of hope. Yes,
the fathers have made vows for us.
Our dead heroes have given pledges for
us and our children. To US they be-
queathed all this treasure. Ours these
States. urs the declaration of liberty,
ours the Constitution, ours the poets,
the orators. the statesmen, the soldiers.
The Republic is a storehouse filled
with all the treasures of the past.
On this high day of liberty let us
highly resolve henceforth to live for
u country and its institutions, that
the Republic may become the guide Of
all the world and the teacher Of all ma.

The night owl is hooting "To-whit' and
'To-whoo"
Where the slender church steeple looms
in the twilight.
The roofs of the city are fading from view,
And I'm romping along with my COM
rades tonight.
"Hullu"comes a CHEEKY voice down the old
street;
"Hullu" and 'Hullu" echoes the glad re-
Then a calvacade swoops to the jolly re-
treat,
And the village green's peopled with fell
lows again.
It's Beard the red lion," "Pomp-pomp
pull away"
"High spy" 'GThe sheep ~stealer" and
Tag, you are it."
It's frolic and rollic and madcap and PLAY,
While the owl from the hillside re-echoes
"To-whit."
A cloud %scurries swift DER the face Of the
moon;
The forms disappear and the voices are
still.
All! then from my dreams I awaken too
The city sleet's weeping its tears on my
sill.
