Z Hartford has had and is having some

z Hartford has had and is having some with asphalt pavements. Thus says the Tribune. The announce ment that most of the more or less miles of sheet asphalt in Hartford will have to be replaced or thoroughly re- paired at a cost for the coming eight years of $SO,OOO to $4O,OOO year will surprise those who have not realized the failure to keep up the condition of these streets. Asphalt roads, more than others, need to be promptly re- paired They can be kept in contlnu- ously good condition under thorough treatment, but neglect is fatal, especi- ally if there was carelessness in the original construction. On most of the Hartford streets the contractors guar antee to keep in order for a fixed term was not perfectly observed, and since the expiration of the guarantee mat ters do not seem to have improved.

wished to be looked after. The purser
took the youth to Captain Cannon and
the captain learned from Roseman that
he went abroad on the liner Oceanic
last summer, had a good time in Eu-
rope and spent all his money. Rose
man assured the captain that his family
would pay for his passage, the result
of which was the stowaway was given
berth in the officers quarters, and a
seat at the officers mess. For five days
Roseman had the run of the vessel but
after that he was Obliged to keep the
after part of the main deck, and when
the Minnetonka left the quarantine, by
order of the immigration authorities,
Roseman was locked up in the vessels

happened that Jimmy Hessler, away
back Of a pair of strange eyes far
down in that peculiar brain of his. had
some very singular fancies-fancies
with which only a brain en- rapport
with his own would sympathize. In
other words, when Hessler wrote ''The
Kiss Of Fire" he was writing 1t to
Hathaway. Hathaway in his criticism
spoke very highly Of the novel. He
could not explain it. Indeed, he did
not fully understand it, for no two
brains are alike in all their parts. He
contented himself with praising it
Nevertheless OF all the criticisms writ
ten on Hessler's work Hathaway's was
the only one emanating from a reader
who had been in touch with the au-
thor's fancies. How many readers had
been similarly sympathetic cannot be
determined
When Hathaway's chief saw that the
magazine had during his absence been
committed to an approval Of THE Kiss
Of Fire" he took to his bed again, but
not before he had discharged Hath
away. The periodical was looked up to
by certain class of literary people as
a bulwark against any work that
would not stand the test OF criticism
and suffered severe blow IN the esti-
nation of those persons on account of
what they called 1.-The Kiss of Fire"

Hessler is writing another novel,
which the publishers are climbing
