Conundrum: Why do dogs, with
their owners name and residence and
their own name and registered num-
ber on the collar, that they wear and
have worn all their lives, have to be

law. Question: Why such a law

"There is just one thing that a
person can afford to do, and that is the
right thing. What success can pay
man for q dishonest act? What
pleasure worth having can flow from |
Indulgence? What real
can there be at gaining
anything at the loss of self respect?"
Hibbard Parker, formerly of Storrs,
wife and children were at the Baptist
church Sunday afternoon. Mrs.
Parker is a member of the church, and
as Miss Edna Mason was for years a
regular attendant, with her two
sisters, Alice and Eva, daughters of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Mason, of the
southeast part of the town. The
Parker family have recently moved
from South Coventry to the Gilbert
Southwick farm, near Mansfield Four
Corners.
The eleventh annual report is very
interesting We anticipate it's being
read aloud as an attraction at our
next Village Improvement society
meeting. We quote one sentiment:
Beauty Of town and village has a
tendency to make people gravitate
slowly but surely toward a town or
village known to be beautiful. To
live in the hearts of those we leave
behind us is not to die" Is not this
stimulus to work for the develop
ment of the natural beauties of our
picturesque old town?
Misses Estella Bartlett and Miss
Mabel Elaine CLARK now have charge
of the primary department. of the
Baptist Sunday school, Miss CLARK
taking the infant class. Pastor Wolfe
has the boys, Mr.. Cosgrove the young
men, Mrs. Preston the young ladies
and Mrs. Esther B. Dimock the Bible
class. The "Oross and Grown" pin
system is still in progress, and is
proving a stimulus to regular attend
anoe. Mrs. Wolfe has been very
in keeping the record of at
tendance and in bestowing the pro-
gressive pins as they have been earn
ed.
We have received from DR.. J. O.
Kendall, Norfolk, secretary and treas
urer of the Norfolk Village Improve
ment association, the dainty booklet,
what's In Manner" issued by and
presented with the compliments of
the association. DIR. Kendall writes
most courteously that they consider it
one of their legitimate efforts to be of
every possible assistance to similar
associations or communities who are
striving to get up a spirit for such
Improvement. The booklet, besides
being a summer register of names and
contains a comprehensive
map of the town.
1t was pleasant to have Rev. and |
Mrs. Brown at the mid-week prayer |
meeting. The Tooth Psalm was the
subject for the evening, and the three |
Rev. A. Gardner being also
present, had all beautiful and help |
full, as we'll as Instructive. thoughts |
upon the tune of "Old Hundred" as
we'll as upon the words of the Psalm.
The familiar doxology, Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow
was sung and commented upon.
These meetings should bring together
a room full of interested listeners, for
they are always of highly instruc-
tive, spiritual and intellectual char
aoter, and without mention it may be
taken for granted that the music is
always excellent.
To the satisfaction of every one
hereabouts, Miss Coleman, who has
been visiting at Crest Cottage, has
purchased of s. P. Morrison the old
"store' and will have it made into
picturesque, modern cottage, with
broad piazzas, etc., to be called 1.-THE
Studio" AS has been hereinbefore
mentioned, Miss Coleman is one of
the faculty in DIR. Walter Damorasch's g
College of Musical Art in New York
city, and is a charming, accomplished
lady Of a beautiful personality. Miss
Coleman takes an active interest in
all proposed village improvements,
and is truly a great acquisition to the
village, as we'll as to her
the Palmer r-Dunnings, to
whom she will be next door.
"Have you seen the comet?" "No,
never saw a comet in my life, and
this one is SO accommodating, and
starts in at such an unreasonable |
hour, between 2 and O'Clock in the
how is any one to see it?"
We solved the problem by going out
star gazing at the time most conven-
lent for the comet. Rev. A. Gardner,
who is wise in the lore of the skies |
and the stars, as we'll as in very many
other ways, told MS to look in the
east for the "ell and yard" the
three brilliant stars three degrees
apart, ''the yard stick of the sky"
and that about six degrees to the
southeast we should find the comet,
and we did. It is small, not very
brilliant, but worth sacrificing half
hours slumber for, and in this "dry
spell" we are having such beautiful
