MORE nnESTToNS.

As the raising of questions seems to be tke order of the day in New Haven we will raise one or two. Have some of our good-natured. fun-loving Irish American fellow citizens lost their good nature, their love of fun and their sense of proportion? And do they seri- riously talk of trying to revive the pes tiferous, illegal. boycott in New Haven?
 Come, come, brethren, and also tut, tut. "McFaddens Flats" wont be here long, and now, of course, it won't be kere at all in any offensive way. So let us cheer up and not be found acting as much out of character as we think the McFaddenite Irish are.

On q Sunday Afternoon.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 What is this nonsense I hear about some of the clergymen wanting the meetings for "ciyic betterment'' held on some week day evening instead of Sunday afternoon I belong to the Economic club which meets in the even- ing and whose members have other evening engagements, dinners, theaters, etc., but I, like many others, have noth- ing to do Sunday afternoon at this time of the year and have enjoyed, as l know many others have these meetings in Woolsey hall. I don't see what harm the meetings can do, and on the other hand they have undoubtedly afforded a lot of innocent amusement for both those in the audience and Those on the stage and kept them out of mischief Of course, if they intend to hold the meetings through the summer I would prefer that they be changed to some other time. for then we have other amusements for Sunday afternoon, like golf, baseball, boating, etc, but through the winter think Sunday afternoon is the very best time.

We have so many wireless, horseless and other "less" things that it will not be surprising if we soon have the track less trolley. They already have it in France, and though it is not yet en- tirely successful 1t Is promising, An experimental trackess trolley system was installed in Eberswalde, Germany, in 1901, by a Berlin engineer, John Brandt, for the Compagnie de Traction par Trolley Automoteur, but this, after being in operation about five months, was withdrawn. The French company which started it was formed with a capital of S3S6,00O to, exploit the patents of the Lombard-Guerin system, and is now in process of liquidation, having sold it's patents. It was found aft- CT installing the system that the cost of operation was too great to allow for profit Another trackless trolley line, which proved more successful, is that between Fontalnebleau and Samois- sur-Seine, about eighty miles from Paris, in France. The length of this line is about three miles, and it has been working for four and half years. The road is macadamized and has no grade exceeding 4 per cent. The power is furnished by a continuous electrical current of 800 to $50 volts, costing at the rate of S2.16 day of service. which means a run of about fifty miles. The entire daily working cost of an omnibus for a days service, including conductor, electric current, service at station, re- pairs, etc. is stated in the companys report to be $5O5 a day, The speed is eight to nine miles an hour. Each om- nibus has places for twenty-four passengers, and the fare for the whole or any part of the distance is eight cents. The cost of the omnibus con. 1 plete was $3,28l.
 Of course the trackless trolleys must have better roads than most of the roads in the United States, and this fact and few other facts make it moi probable that the electric roads in this country will soon be put out of business l b,, +I,o fro ,lrIoee troIlo.,

THE GREAT AWAKENING.

There has been in time past com- plaint that New Haven was not lively enough for city of it's size, money and brains We put brains last in the list on the theory that the last shall be first. If New Haven has ever been dull CT than it ought to have been it is so no longer. We are now as busy as bees and as wideawake as weasels. The cut problem is being rapidly and most ef- ficiently settled. We are tearing down and building up. We are raising ques- tions about the sacredness of the Green and the sacredness of what is left of the New England Sunday. We are talk ing fast and loud, and we are losing a little of that good temper and good judgment which have heretofore distin- guished us. We aren't going to have ourselves made fun of, and we can't laugh at the fun as we used to, be- cause we have become so very strenu- ous and dignifed and important. We are getting together and getting apart. We are parading in protest against the administration of the law in distant State. We like "The Marseillaise," but on the whole we prefer "The Star spangled Banner" We are going to put the International Union label on everything in sight. We are going to have our garbage cans cleaned out on time and in time, our streets kept clean and damp, and our magnificent rock parks kept as free from the public as possible. We are getting ready to blos- som out in our glad Easter clothes, and our springing Spring fancy Is turning lightly and gaily to thoughts of love and greens.
 It is surely a great awakening, and it's results will be many and varied. We shall get Civic Betterment in large chunks. We shall learn how to love our neighbor as ourselves and how to give him the credit of being as honest as we are. We shall learn some of our limitations, and we shall learn that words and wisdom are the same thing. We are having good and an eager time, and there is perhaps some sligflt danger that in our eagerness we may forget that 1t is not all of life to feel civically big and busy. As an aid to remembering we call attention to the fine realistic poem we print this morn ing on this page from the pen of Myrtle May, entitled When Pa Fell Off the Now" Read 1t and profit by it.

CLOSE SHAVE FOR PRESIDENTS

RkgP
 The Presidents memory for names
 faces and places is extraordinarily keen, but t isn't equal to recalling the name of every man he ever met for a minute. It failed once and MT. Roose- velt's aide, Captain Fitzhugh Lee, saved the forgotten ones feelings. The President noticed detachment of aged veterans, who served under General Joe Wheeler in the civil war at the latter's funeral recently, and invited them to call upon him at the White House. Standing at the right of the President as each veteran approached, Captain Lee would ask his name in whisper and then present him to the President, calling the name in a clear voice. To- ward the rear of the line came a yete- ran walking with confident air who failed to respond to Captain Lees
 whispered inquiry, Your name, please When the inquiry was repeat ed he waved the young cavalry captain aside, remarking with an air of person. al satisfaction: "Oh, the President re- members me all right. He met me in
 Atlanta last year" Captain Lee quick ly came to the rescue of the Presidents reputation, and in presenting the visi- tor said: MT. President, this gentle man needs no introduction. You met him in Atlanta last year" Why, of course" said the President with a smile and a handshake T am certain ly glad to see you again" Pleased to his finger tips as he passed down the
 line, the veteran nodded his head to Captain Lee and called back in tone almost derisive: q told you he would know me" Captain Lee received nod of thanks from the president. Corres- pondence of the Boston Transcript.

When Pa Fell or the Mow.

When Pa fell off the now We never quite knew how, For he could ne'er recall Just why he came to fall. Ma found him lying low On the barn floor white as snow And in her wild despair Her shrieks rent the air. Neighbors did hurrying come To help convey him home; Sly weeks he lay in bed With bandaged limbs and head, For he struck against a blow When he fell off the now. But though he suffered much, Patience I ne'er saw such; He hardly made complaint, He behaved like saint, And would even make us smile Our worry to beguile, Though pain did wiring his brow From falling off the now. And in this time of woe Did neighbor women show The kindness of their hearts; They brought roast pork and tarts, They brought preserves and cake, And all our bread did bake; They would take our ironing home Or mend, or sweep a room, Or even milk the COW. When Pa fell off the now. The men chopped all our wood And piled 1t neat and good; They went to town for us, They even made fuss That there was not more to do. I cannot here review The Kindness of them all It makes my tears down fall. How could we pay thenl~-how-- When Pa fell off the now? They watched beside his bed And words of comfort said; The doctor was so kind. The minister would find NTime to come in each day And read and sing and pray. Oh, in our time of grief Such sympathy brought relief, And when Pa better grew All vied some good to do, And fast he did improve, Encouraged by our love. When he sat up they would say, Amt this a joyful dayY And neighbor Jonas Thorn, When on the porch one morn Pa walked, though steps did lag, Hoisted his L. & Flag! Don't tell me folks are not good And don't do as they should; Just let some trouble come Into your humble home. And you will always find That folks are true and kind; Some one will bring relief. Or share with you your grief I learned this. I avow. When Pa fell off the now

The Oregon is soon due at San Fran cisco. On her arrival in the bay she will show one of the longest home- ward bound 9ennants ever displayed from the mast of a returning ship of war. When the vessel left Hong Kong, in the latter part of February, the blue jackets followed the custom of their kind and obtained homeward bound pennant, in this case one over five hundred feet in length and made of silk thread It is one of the service tradi- tions that the homeward bound pen nant shall have a length of one foot for every day of the cruise. The Oregon $ pennant will be one of the longest ever displayed, and few ships have ever had longer streamers. In the case Of the Oregon, the 500-foot pennant, when the vessel left Hong Kong, had to be sup ported and kept out of the water by two small balloons tied to the end. The bluejackets take much pride in thi: pennant, which at the end of the trip is sometimes divided into souvenir pieces, or may be given to an officer who has particularly endeared himself to the enlisted men.

Consul Fleming of Edinburgh says that the increased vote in recent elec- tions in the United Kingdom is partly attributed to the free use of motor ve- hicles in getting men to the polls. This use of the automobile in country dis tricts has done much to do away with prejudice against the machine. Speed regulations are now practically a dead
 letter in some parts of Scotland, no att tention being paid to violators of the speed law except when accidents result.
