One day last summer a lot of US fell
Beams tavern talking over the pos
sibilities of this, that, and h other
thing when there came a crash from
the barroom that sounded like a
whole shelf full of bottles had broken
down.
We all piled in to see what the row
was, and there in the middle Of the
floor stood a strange chap with a rock
in his hand that he was just going to
heave into the big mirror that hung
behind the bar.
t1Hey, what're o trying to do
there?' yelled Joe, making a dive for
him and shaking the rock out of his
hand.
II was about to put a finishing
touch to that mirror" answered the
man, waving his hand toward it as he
spoke.
Toe looked at his glass and promptly

robin. Right smack in the middle or
the thing was a smash as big as a
watermelon, with cracks radiating
from 1t like the rays of a painted sun.
He didn't wait to ask any more ques-
tions, but dug into that stranger SO We
hemently that 1t at once took the
combined efforts of all of the rest OF
us to save him from immediate and
complete a~nnihilation.
"This is no way to treat a gentle-
man." he pulled, as soon as we a
him and Joe disintegrated.
.eWhat'd you break that mirror for
then?' demanded Joe.
The man looked at the glass and
then at Joe with a real plying express
sion.
do you think that mirrors
broken" he asked.

I saw Joe begin to soften. He has a

\ man who owns a fine coffee
plantation in Jamaica said: -Four

Experience taught this man that
he could not drink his own high

TEN, interferes with digestion, and
trouble is sure to follow.
Some folks may take the hint
and change to Postum.

WHOSE DUTY IS IT?
Biz Snow Storm Brings up an
 Old Subject.

The presence of snow on the side walks has revived the old question, whose business is it to clean the walk; the landlords or the tenants. The ordinance says the owner or oc- cupant and as it frequently happens that the occupant is not the owner, the thing is far from being satisfac- tory. It ought to be changed and put the expense on the owner of the prop erty, and let him figure on this item in fixing the price of his rent. An other very unsatisfactory feature of it is that the officer invariably calls upon the tenant on the first floor. Of course if all the tenants would be agreeable and get out and tend to the job it wouldn't amount to much, but when it is left to one or two then it becomes quite chore for the rounds of the winter and some manage to share the benefits without carrying any of the burden. There is no rem edy for this under existing conditions. but they should be changed as soon as possible. In fact many think it would be well to have the city do the work and then nobody could evade paying his share of the expense.

EIGHT MILE RIVER SURVEY.
Report Submitted to Congress
 Light For Thimble Island.

Washington, Dec 16.-The secretary of war has transmitted to congress the report of Major Taylor on the Eight Mile river and East Branch. Eight Mile river is branch of the Connecticut river, about eight miles above Saybrook, while East Branch is a small stream emptying into the Eight Mile river. The report, says that the East Branch is not navigable and canont be made so at any req sOnable cost. Those who petitioned for the improvement of Eight Mile river did not intend to include the East Branch, and for that reason nothing will be done at this point.
 Eight Mile river is the natural out let for the farm and lumber products of large territory extending eight or ten miles up to Hamburg village. The nearest railroad station from Ham, burg is Lyme, six or eight miles dis tant. In former years Eight Mile river was navigable to Hamburg, and it Is said that from 40 to 70 vessels of lumber and other products were shipped annually from Hamburg
 The improvement desired calls for channel eight feet deep and seventy five feet wide from the Connecticut river up to the wharf at Hamburg, and small turning basin opposite this wharf above the bridge. The cost of this improvement is estimated at $9,- GOO, and it is stated by Major Taylor that probably only $1,000 every ten years will have to be spent for the maintenance of the improvement.
 Major Taylor considers the locality worthy of improvement and recom- mends that it be done.
 Senator Bulkeley introduced in the senate a bill, appropriating $2O,OOO for the erection of a light house on East Reef, at the entrance of the Thlmble Island harbor, just outside of Stony Creek. Several vessels have in recent years been blown on this reef. Peter Beatti, of Leete's island has lost several and last summer a large schooner belonging to Shailer-H Hall company of Portland went aground.
 The department has surveyed the place and agreed to put buoy on the reef, but no. money is available for a lighted buoy.

CROKER OFF FOR EGYPT.
Goes By Doctors Orders. Though Not
 Ill-His Stable Reorganized.

London, Dec. 16.-Richard Croker, acting on the advice of his physician, will start next week for trip to the American visit because the doctor warned him against the severity of the American winter A slight local affection necessitates a warm climate for him for the next few weeks, so he will spend the winter in Egypt and the Holy Land. There is nothing ser iously wrong and MT Croker declares himself that he feels perfectly fit. He will meet his son and party of Am ericans in Cairo.
 There is much comment in racing circles upon Orby's form in the last race, and the running of the other horses from the Glencairn stable caus- ed some disappointment It has all ways been known that MT Croker de- sired to have the best horses and that they should be at their best at all cost. Recently for reasons that he believed more than adequate, he part ed with the manager of his stables, Dr McCabe, and also dismissed Jockey DulIOCh. I1c dloO ICOl Sdul1Cu lio uS- ing establishment.
 He no longer allows any of his hands to board in and he has taken steps to have nobody about the stables whom he cannot implicitly trust. Allen, his trainer, who train ed Orby, has been made manager, and a promising apprentice has been ap- pointed in Bullock's place. Since his Derby win Orby has grown to seven teen hands. He has recovered from his weakness and MT Croker believes him filter than ever he was.
 Mir Croker has several horses that are entered for all the big races next season and is enthusiastically confi- dent that he will win everything worth winning in England.

THE CHARITY BAZAAR
Many of inc Societies Have Al.
 ready Named Committees.

So far three divisions of the A. O. H., the Ladies' Auxiliary, the Daugh- ters of Isabella, the four councils of the K. of c. and Company G, c. N. G., have appointed committees to make arrangements for the coming bazaar in aid of St Mary's hopital,an it is hoped that the other nine or ten so- cieties that have not been heard from will appoint committees so that all may get together and appoint con- mittees and get the work in hand. This will be regarded as a personal tribute to Monsignor Slocum, to whose great generosity the public is indebted for the hospital, which will be ready for occupancy next fall and will be blessing in the community. It will be a pleasure to the monsig- nor to watch the progress of the ba- zaar from his sick chamber at the rec tory of the Immaculate Conception church and the fact that he is not able to take an active part in mak- ing the entertainment will prompt his many friends to work all the hard CT

JAYS FIVE MEN RULE FINANCE
Cochran Says Quintet Dominates Our

Productive Agencies.
 New Rochelle, N. Y., Dec. 16.-Rep- resentative w. Bourke Cochran at the opening session of the sixth season of the Peoples forum at the New Ro- shelle theater, in describing "The Si- rent Revolution In Our Political Sys- tem,' declared that the powers which have grown up in the business and financial world during the last ten years now completely dominate the federal government and are much stronger than any government which has ever before existed.
 During the last ten years" said he, "the entire control of productive agen- cies has passed into the hands of less than half a dozen men. I think we will take the names of Rockefeller Morgan, Hartman and Hill, and for a fifth we will say Armour and have all that practically control the important industries and agencies of transpor- tation. Not merely do they control these agencies, but by the influence which this control gives them of the vast deposits they have come to domi- nate our financial institutions, our great insurance companies and our leading banks and trust companies. They control not merely the agencies of production and exchange, but the agencies of credit-that means the en- tire industrial life of d community"
