Great sachem's Jewels-The Next

Great sachem's Jewels-The Next
 Great Sun Council.
 It is practically settled that the Great Sun Council of the l o. R. M. will be held in Bridgeport on May &, next year. The Farmer says; The big chiefs who will come as the dele gates from all of the tribes in the Con- necticut reservation will be the guests of Wowompon tribe. The great chiefs decided upon Bridgeport last night and all that is needed is the agreement of WoWompon tribe to arrange for the council. Action will be taken on the meeting of the tribe to be held on Thursday of this week.
 The great chiefs came here last night to attend the presentation of Past Great sachem's jewels to Great Pro- phet Burton B. Plumley of this city and Great Chief of Records William Saunders of Naugatuck.
 The presentation took place in the Wigwam of Konckapotanaugh tribe at Main and Gilbert streets.
 The ceremony and the entertainment which followed were arranged by Sa- shem B, T. Buckingham of this city and William R. Miller of Uncas tribe of South Norwalk, members of the Great Suns Councils committee on memorials.
 The jewel presented to Past Sachem PlumIey is the handsomest ever pre- sented to the past sachem in this state. It is of solid gold and setudded with diamonds and rubies. The relief work upon the metal represents a wig wam and other characters emblenlatit of the order.
 The tribes who contributed to tht great councils fund in order to make the jewel the handsomest ever pre- sented were those tribes which wer' the most benefited by the work O Chief Plunley while he was at tn, headof the reservation of Connecticut They were Paugitsett of Danbury, Pc nus of New Canaan, Mayu Mayano o Greenwich, Knockapotanaugh ant Wowompon of Bridgeport. The out o town delegations were all representet at the presentation ceremonies las night

BRYAN AND DOUGLAS.

It has been suggested that William J. Bryan and w. L. Douglas be nomin- ated by the Democrats in 1906. Such ticket would violate all historical pre- cedent. Neither Nebraska nor Mass achuetts can be classed as a pivotal state, and neither has an electoral vote large enough to be counted as decisive factor in choosing a presi- dent. The Democratic ticket of 1896 was bad enough in the respect Of talk ing the candidates from the enemy's country, but Byran and Douglas would, be worse. It was conceded in 1896 that Bryan could carry Nebraska, but in 1900 he lost it by decisive majority, and there is no likelihood of his earry- ing the state in 190S Douglas was elected governor of Massachusetts ow- ing to causes operating locally, but at the succeeding election the state re- turned to it's place in the republican column. Massachusetts has steadily cast her electoral vote against the Democratic party ever since 1920, the year that the old Republican party of Jefferson and Madison split and re- solved itself into the whig and Demo- cratic parties. There is no reason to think that the state will reverse her unbroken record of nearly century solely because a Massachusetts man is given second place on the Democratic national ticket. How the Democrats expect to carry New York and Indiana with candidates from sure Republican states does not appear Perhaps they have come to the conclusion that state nride cuts little figure in presidential elections notwithstanding the popular ir- pression that has so long prevailed
 Harrison's loss of Indiana in 1892 and Rrvan's loss of Nebraska in 1900 rather negatives the state pride super stition. It is to be remembered also that Polk Is othis own state. Tennes- see. in 1S44, although he was elected
 president. As Hearst says he vii not

part of his national heritage But that is what the Agricultural department is doing at present, for Washington the truth will out-is suffering from a plague of feas such as has not been known in years. While it Is admitted that a certain number of these denles- tlo pests are necessary to keep a dog in good condition, no Washingtonian is willing to admit that the rule applies to human beings. The Agricultural department has been besieged by ap- plicants for relief, but 1t has failed miserably in the hour of need since the best it's bug experts can do is to smile blandly and assure the sufferers that the plague is a perfectly natural result of the rainy summer. Twill end with cold weather, they say, which iS mighty small comfort for the average Washingtonian, since cold weather IS two or three months distant. Famt- lies suffering from the quick Jumping flea, however, have been advised tt get a cat or a dog, and this has brought up the delicate question as tt whether the Iittle tormentors prefel these animals to human beings. Or | the other hand, those families having pets are advised to get rir of most O them, from which there naturally arises another question as to the pro per proportion of pets to fieas. Tn Agricultural experts have gotten out bulletin explaining carefully how t eradicate not only fleas, but any varie ty of Goldsmith's Animated Natur through the use of llydrocyanic acid The trouble with this process, hoWev CT, lies in the fact that since the aci is one of the most powerful poison

A woMANs SUFFRAGE BIRD.

Wilson's phalarope is very common in nearly all parts of the northwestern praries wherever there are grassy pools or sloughs. It is quiet, beauti- full little bird, with no immodest out cries, feeling prettily along the moist margins of the sloughs, and not ils- tressing itself over our presence. From nearly every standpoint this phalarope like all other species of it's class-is an anomaly among the birds. Apparent ly land bird, 1t has partially webbed or scalloped feet and is a good and graceful swimmer. The female is the larger and handsomer of the pair; she does the courting, and he most of the subsequent incubation and nursery work. He is duly meek and obedient, as becomes the husband of an Amazon; for so worthy and strenuous a young female as she will not tolerate buck hanging around idle when there is plenty of useful work to be done. For her part, to lay eggs so big that the chicks are clothed and able to run at birth is all that should reasonably be 1 expected Of her. Ihelr marital relations are otherwise scandalous, from our point of view. Two or three idle, vain- glodlous females are often seen devot- ing themselves to one little male at the height of the nesting season, and nc one seems to be sure whether or not Inc is the husband of any one or all oi them. Anyhow they are all head over ears in love with him. One such grour of four followed me around one after. moon, as though anxious about theil nest in the grass. They alighted in pool to swim about, and I secured 2 snapshot of em.-Herbert K. Job ir Some Lake Side Waders of the North

POVERTY A DISEASE.

A large part of the poverty of the world is disease, the result of cen turies of bad living bad thinking, and of shining We know that poverty IS an aIbnonrmal condition because it does not fit any human beings constitution. It contradicts the promise and the pro- phecy of the divine in man There are plenty of evidences that abundance of all that is good was wan's inheri- tance: that, if he claims it stoutly and struggles peristently toward it, he will gain 1t.
 The fact is that large part of the poverty of the world is due to down. right laziness, shiftlessness, an unwill- ingness to make the effort, to fight for competence. It does not matter now much ability one may have; if he does not have the inclination and energy to use it. it will atrophy, Laziness Will ruin the greatest genius. It would XII the ambition of an Alexander or Napoleon. No gift or talent is great enough to withstand 1t, The love Of ease has wrecked more careers than anything else except dissipation, and lazlness and vice usually go together. 1 They are twins.
 There are certain traits Of strong 1 character which are incompatlple Wlth poverty. Self-relianoe and manly independence are foundation stones in strong characters. We often ina them largely developed in the man who is moor in spite of all his efforts to get away from his poverty, who is the vic tim of misfortune and disasters which he couldn't control; but the man Who Is poor because he has lost his courage 1 his faith in himself, or because he is too lazy to pay the price for conlpe- tence. lacks these qualities, and is SC much less man. He is a weak char acter compared with the man who has developed powerful mental and mora muscle in his energetic, persistent efforts to gain a competence and tc make the most of himself.
 When you make up your mind that vou are done with poverty forever, that YOU will have nothing to do with it 1 TldL you dI e EOlll5 lO CNOl u ctCS of it from your dress. your talk appearance, your manner, your talk your actions, your home, that you art going to show the world your real met. tie, that you are no longer going to g, for a failure, that you have set you face peristently toward better things, 6 competence, an independence, and tha nothing on earth can turn you iron your resolution, you will be amazed t. see what a reinforcing power will com, to you from this increased. confidence and self-respeot.
 The most dangerous thing abou poverty is that it's victims often be come reconciled to it. and take 1t fo granted that it Is their fate. Beoaus they cannot keep up appearances am live in the same style as their nor wealthy neighbors, poor people oftel become discouraged. and do not try t make the best of what they have The do not put their best foot forward

THE RLRIEs oN PARAnn.

The conveyances at Asbury Park were practically small floats, and in most instances were built upon a baby carriage as the foundation, In many cases the carriages were trimmed to represent a huge flower, in the center of which the baby head appeared; but in some instances the floats were of a much more ambitious character. and showed whole kitchens or villages forges with number of children dress ed as cooks or blacksmiths. A num- Der of the little tots dressed in fancy costumes had no conveyance, but walk ed at their nurses side or rode small bicycles, and there were many more whose carriages were trimmed very simply but very beautifully with na- tural flowers. There was 'The Old Wo- man Who Lived in Shoe,' and The Sweet Girl Graduate" and Brown '4S " AASNilt duu d ullllAllullNS LloOSC- Welt in rough-rider suit, and many, many nurses and clowns, organ grind CTS, fairies, and enormous lily and two little tots in floral canoe. And be- sides these a little girl had a gown which looked like an apple, and over her head she held parasol which was made of the limb of an apple tree and she called herself Tn the Shade of the Old Apple Tree" but perhaps the best of all was the child who rode a large
 butterfly Those who made the butter fly said it was composed of five thous- and pink and white paper flowers, and they should know, but in any case the
 judges thought so well of it that they gave it the grand prize.
 The children bowed and smiled from
 the carriages to Titania, and Titania
 bowed back, and those who had no
 carriages danced at their nurses side
 and blew kisses to the Queen and to 1 the applauding banks of men and wo- men which lined both sides of the Ave-
 nue. Fifty thousand men and women
 came to see those babies parade, and
 that is more people than any horse
 race, football game or baseball match
 can possibly attract in this country
