It is rumored that there is a doubt in some minds that the legislature of Connecticut will be able to adjourn on the 18th of this month, in spite of the apparently binding quality of the res- olction to adjourn then which was so resolutely adopted. If it should happen that the legislature cannot adjourn on the 18th we hope it will not be dis outraged. If at first you don't sue ceed, try, try try again., said the old reader, and the old reader was wise. The legislature should not stop trying to adjourn If it happens to fail to ad- journ on the 18th, It should try all the harder. and by and by it will fetch It.. Nor should the people get discouraged either. They should keep up hope and encourage the legislature to keep up hone

 Washington, June S.-Persons who were present at the laying of the Ma sonic Temple cornerstone this after noon say that they have the evidence of their eyes that President Roosevelt carries a revolver As the Grand Mas ter Workman stepped forward to tie the Masonic apron around the Presi- dents waist he drew back the tails of Mir. Roosevelt's coat. He fumbled slightly, having apparently encounter. ed some obstruction. Then he drew the coat tails back further to loosen the strings, and the cause of the obstruc- tion became apparent. It was the butt of big revolver resting in the Presi- dents right hip pocket.

Van zandt of Minnesota once unintentionally exchanged overcoats with President Roosevelt The Cover nor discovered his error through find ing revolver in a pocket of the Presi- dents coat, A few years ago the President attended a convention held in a Washington church and left his overcoat in the anteroom.

SUD GHMNt FONN4t Vh OH GHA Y |LF
 Carnegie and other rich men have told us that 1t is very solemn matter to be rich and that oh the whole 1t is better to be poor But a woman who re- lies on her intuition, and is therefore likely to be right in her conclusions, doesn't agree with the heavy-laden rich men. She is an Iowa woman who in- herlted large part of "Silent Smiths" fortune, and who slgnalized the event by buying a $5,0oO wardrobe and giving a costly banquet and theater party to forty or fifty Of her friends, JAS to her personal sensations on becoming sud- denly rich, she said: It seems to me just like one of those dreams, where you fall from a balloon and are won- dering all the time how long 1t will be before you strike the earth, and then wake up. There are so many sides to the whole thing that it has kept me laughing a good part of the time, It is So funny to be rich.
 Funny to be rlchm There are many, we suppose, who will be more inclined to take the Iowa woman's view of be- ing rich than that of the solemn rich man. And there are many more who will think that the middle ground be- tween the two views Is the one to oc- cupy. They feel that while they might not find being rich absolutely funny they would find 1t cheerful

The Forthcoming Fourth.

Yes, Independence day, my boy,
 Will surely come this year, And you shall have your share of joy,
 Of patriotic cheer. I'll bring you home brand new sleigh And sharpen up your skates, And on the millpond you shall play
 With all your little mates. And, as with boyish glee you run
 And glide upon the glare, Remember how George Washington
 Once crossed the Delaware. And, over on the vacant ground
 fort of snow we'll plan, And I will be the Hessian hound
 And you the Minute Man, We'll wallow deeply In the snow
 And think of Valley Forge The wintry wallowing and woe
 Of the Immortal George. And we must not forget, my son,
 A duty that we owe, Before the glorious day is done
 We'll to the village go. And, gathered snugly round the red
 Hot fire of oak and birch, We'll hear the Declaration said In the basement of the church. New York Sun

4 PLEASANT WORLD.

Some people find this a pretty good world to live in, and they don't feel quite sure that they will be entirely satisfied to live in any other place. "If I ever get to Heaven" said Professor F. c. Bartlett at the banquet of the Dartmouth alumni of Western Massa- chusetts in Springfield, T think that shall want to come back once in a willie, go up on the hill near the golf course and see again the beautiful view, and then go down to the college and hear the boys yell once"
 Professor Bartlett Is like the New Haven woman who, on being assured that she was about to go to Heaven, sighingly said that she didn't know but she should miss the privileges she had enjoyed here. Anybody who lives in New Haven can appreciate her doubt, New Haven Is a good enough place to live in, and if the meek are going to inherit the earth the meek around here will have ample reason to be satisfied if they get this part of 1t

4 NOTION OF ARMr OFFICERS.

In times of peace army officers are not as busy as they might be, and they get notions. One of the notions they are apt to get is that they want more money. and they sometimes try to get it in ways that are not entire- ly consistent with Uncle Sams dlgnI- ty. So the War department feels 1t necessary to discourage the employ ment of army officers in pursuits which take their time, interest. and talent" from the military profession. The secre- tary of War has received a number of complaints against officers whose names arc conspicuously allied with mining ventures, and several New York firms have reported that they have been appr ,ached by a regular army officer who solicited advertising for a publication. This activity is look ed upon with marked dlsapproval, and II is announced Tor the guidance of off, ficers who are inclined to engage in such outside employment that the gov ernuient Is entitled to the exclusive right to their efforts, and that their titles may not properly be considered as commercial asset It is added that "the display of the uniform or title for the purpose of advertising a private business is In bad taste. if not repre- hensible.'
 This looks sensible and reasonable, Of course being an army officer is not get-rich-quick scheme but 1t does bring fair pay and should bring stric and faithful attention to duty It will bring more of 1t for awhile probably The Secretary of War Is not one whose advice can be safely disregarded by | any army officer.

 New Haven is thinking about being more beautiful, and other cities are getting the same idea. For instance, a general outline of public Improvements has been recommended for the city of Syracuse. The plan includes a boule- yard from 100 to 150 feet wide and twelve miles long, encircllng the city; the use of the Oswego and Erie canal beds for great transurban boulevards; parkway skirting Onondaga lake, the addition of several tracts of land to the park and playground system, and sev- erai other features of minor import ance. The plan outlined Is after the fashion of wheel of which the hub is Clinton square, the periphery is the twelve-mile boulevard, and the spukes are numerous streets running into this boulevard at intervals, from the cen tral portion of the city.
 It Is encouraging to see such move ments as these. Even if they are not immediately and fully effective they in- dicate that the people of this country are waking up to some of their op- portunities and privileges. It will cost something to beautlfy cities. but the money will be we'll invested,

Danht ID Marriage.

1t is unfortunate for the people of the
stage that their class furnished the
first notable attempt t. apply the doc
trine of trial marriage, as recently ex-
pounded by a respectable author, to a
real situation in life. An actor plead
ed his belief in this doctrine as a rea-
son for not marrying a young girl
whom he had compromised. He said
he was not assured that the girl in the
case was suited to him. There is little
danger that trial marriages will appeal
to the average young man who has
made any sort of beginning toward
union with the girl of his heart. That
the knot cannot be tied too quick or
too fast. is the opinion Of most candi-
dates for the title of Benedict. This
spirit is the only one to make a true
life union, and it stands back of near
ly all successes in marriage.
Marriage is often lightly talked Of
from the stage, and slurs upon do
nestle %constancy too often meet with
encouragement from the audience. Yet
the latter is no indication that the
morals of this generation are a menace
to marriage. Many of those who laugh
may really feel themselves to be vic

yet would look upon the breaking Of

marriage has been held in contempt
more or less by the wits, and stage
literature is not alone in this. But
marriage has held its own because
humankind must "hunt in couples"
and society has laid down the law that
the tie shall be binding. And it is well
for the individual that society is stern
ly exacting. If partners were to sep
arate at the first tiff, social happiness
would be almost unknown.
Hasty marriages are to be deplored,
but once the resolution to marry and
secure the prize takes possession of a
mans heart there can be no room for
but the step must be for life.
The sutton who doesn't nerve himself
for that is the victim Of his feelings.
The true man welcomes the chance to
show the object of his affection how
earnestly he means it. Trial marriage
among earnest people assumes that the
couple don't know their OWL minds,
the best of evidence that the whole
thing is a mistake. The woman would
better wait until a sutton Of more posi-
tive nature appears. And the doubling
lover should serve a term in the army
or ship before the mast until he is
cured of his timidity in the face Of
this ~marvelously simple and yet in
tensely vital problem.
