He Was Not 1heobaId,

The gray haired nobleman sat in sol
itary state before the fire in his an
cestral hall AS he mcditated upon the
past and upon the GloryNof his anccs
tors the clock struck the hour of mid
night
The sound brought him to his fee
and these words from his mouth:
1T is now exactly twenty years since
my only son was sent by me from I'M
der my roof tree. Oh, Thcobald, ThCo
bald, perhaps | WAS too hard on you
Won't you come back to me now"
Just then he heard a fOotstep III the
passage. Hastily opening the door, ht
discovered Il man in the act OF leaving
the castle.
"Oh, don't You know me-" asked tho
stranger i'm Thcobald."
The earl looked at him critically.
Then why are your pockets full OF
SpoonSt" he asked. And why are YOU
wearing the cake basket as a ches
protectors"
Thus was the pretended prodigal dis

only male birds Of the direct male line
from which you are breeding Select
breeding birds for health. vigor and
quality. Pullets may be bred back
to sires, grandsires or great-grandsireS
or to other good males of direct descent
from the original male ancestor 1t is
preferable to mate pullets with cocks
and hens with yearllng cocks or cock
erels instead of mating pullets and
cockerels together.

to the attitude of the investigators, The general publfe, which has been misled in many directions and almost been taught that there is no such thing as an honestly created and honestly administered corporation, does not know what to think. The Connecticut public has given no sign that it has lost confidence in the management of the company, though distinguished man has doubted the wisdom of it's expansion policy, but it is nevertheless a wise thing to do to set forth as early as possible just what the difficulties are, if any, in the way of the merger which makes federal interference jus tiiable. Not to extend the investigation at once so that it will include MT. Mel len as an early witness for his com pany will be to warrant suspicion as to the motives of the government The cure for all concerned Is publicity.

SOME GOOD DREAMING.

Considering the disturbed state of Russia it is not surprising that old men there are seeing visions and young men dreaming dreams, One of the dreamers has made decided hit He wrote to a St. Petersburg paper that for three nights in succession he was visited by the phantom" of the early custodlans of the treasures in the Hermitage mu- scum, who complained of their dis appearance The treasures consisted of golden medals struck off by the vari- ous emperors of Russia in memory of great historic events, as well as a num- Der of antique coins founds during ex- cavation work in Southern Russia. The "phantom" complained that theso had been replaced by copper replicas, and it declared further that a number of diamonds belonging to the crown, stored in the Hermitage museum, and valued at $10,000,000, had been re- placed by glass mutations The publi-
 cation of this dream was followed by semi-official denials, but soon it was admitted that the medals and coins had been substituted because of the
 danger of their being carried away during some extreme revolutionary dis
 order The originals, it was declared,
 are safely stored away in some other
 place. The disappearance of a jewell
 headed cane, once the property of Pet

 by the phantom" was admitted, and there is a strong belief also that the

THE SENECA EXPERIMENT.

Perhaps the Seneca experiment Is worthy to be mentioned in the same day with the Galveston experiment, the Des Moines experiment and the other experiments in city improve ment that are being made Seneca is fin Kansas, where they take kindly to experiments. Last spring the Business Mems League of Seneca placed itself at the head of a movement to do something for the town, to make "a model Seneca" The city officials gave their hearty assistance. The problems which confronted the little town were not exactly those which confront a big city, but the principle remains the same. The first thing the city officials and the business men did was to find out what should be done, and the sec ond was to do 1t. There were weed patches all over the city. The weeds were cut. A weed day. was appoint led and the stores were closed while everybody cut weeds. Then there were tin cans by the wagon load. They were collected and hauled away The campaign even began with the import ation of an expert" who gave lec- lures on how to make Seneca a good place to live in" Then everybody set to work to make Seneca that kind of @ place
 All of which illustrates the fact that real reform, like real charity, begins
 at home. Seneca is a model place now,
 like New Haven. No weeds or heaps
 of tin cans in the streets here. We
 keep our streets here so clean that we
 even wash the crossings.

;ovE DASHES.

While Captain Amundsen is getting ready to make dash" for the North Pole with the help of polar bears Lieutenant shackleton is getting ready to make a dash for the South Pole with the help of an automobile. The automobile which will help make the dash has been shipped from London to New Zealand, whence it will be sent on board the Nimrod on its way to the South Pole. The car has wheels like those used on motor omnibuses, but when ice has to be traversed the rims will be fitted with feur-inch spikes, set in pairs, to afford grip. In these circumstances, too, the front wheels will not reyolve, but will be fix ed to broad runners, resembling skis. The exhaust gases will be used to heat a snow tank on the car thus provid- ing a supply of drinking and washing water The gases will also heat a foot warmer fixed to the floor of the car. Over ground similar to that explored by the Scott expedition the car could carry crew of three men, with SUD- plies 150 miles day.
 These plans furnish good oppor- tunity for betting on the reIatiya ,,av its of polar bears and automobiles as pole-dashers. They also furnish a good opportunity for those who laugh ed at Walter Wellman's balloon to laugh some more

4 B1G EAT ON 4 Bla FLEET.

Those who run our big battleships have to have proud stomachs, and tho United States does all it caA to see that they have them Thenaval purchasing officers have completed the contracts for the provisions for the fifteen thou sand men of the Atlantic fleet during the hundred days or more of the cruise from Hampton Roads to San Francis co Bay There are three thousand tons of these provisions, costing S375,000 This is not an extraordinary expense attached to the trip of the vessels, be- ing the usual amount of provisions which would be necessary by way of maintenance under any circumstances, whether the vessels stayed in northern Atlantic water or were cruising The trip will be availed of to make num- Der of experiments in storing and packing dried provisions. It is desired to devise some method by which space may be saved and the handling of ma terials facilitated, especially within the limited quarters of ships of war, where there is much passing of boxes and barrels up steep ladders and along narrow passages. It is purposed to test certain bags on board the Virginia for the carrying of -four. to see if a water proof covering can be obtained which will be easier to handle and capable of being, stored in smaller space than when boxes and barrels are used. Tn addition to the experiments in packing and storing provisions there
 will be a grand experiment in eating
 provisions, and 1t is certain to be a success.

THE FINANCE BOARD.

Time and experience have vindicated the judgment of the charter makers who insisted upon common clearing house for all departments of the city It has disposed of the old fashioned happy go lucky method of raising and distributing public mon- eys and introduced an orderly manner of performing that duty,
 The most reassuring feature of this clearing house method of handling the public purse consists in the opportun- ity 1t gives administrative boards to develop the highest possible sense of oversight and control While heavy responsibility is placed upon the com missioners to manage their depart ments with the money appropriated, the other. responsibility of developing them in every theoretical way is quite as heavy.
 The departments this year have been properly guided by a sense of their own needs, on the one hand, and, on the other, by a realization of larger returns if more liberally supported More and more, too, will it have to be realized that New Haven is city of the major class and must be treated as such. Its needs are metropolitan and will constantly grow more so Of al citizens the members of the finance Loard are keenest to understand this
