 practice has been brought to light this week. however, in which certain importations are deliberately invento- ried at a figure far above their real value in spite of the additional duty imposed. This is in the importation of foreign pictures and Is a new phase of the bogus art scandal In which Uncle Sam is involved, as an innocent ac- complice.
 The importer of an alleged "oid mas ter" which cost as much as $50 or SIS when purchased of some unknown Eu- ropean artist, has the invoice made out to show a valuation of s3.000 or s5,00O, or whatever figure he may select. He pays duty of 20 per cent. on this es- timate and then shows his receipt to the unsuspectiDg customer whose bank account Is larger than his knowledge of art.
 Such a proof of worth Is accepted as conclusive and the dealer has no dif- 6culty in making 400 per cent. profit on his small investment plus as much as he can induce his victim to pay
 The game is said to have been work ed successfully on a number of gufle- less millionaires who hatter themselves that they are familiar with most forms

 Each day that passed seemed to add to the trouble in the heart of each of these young people: to widen the grow ing difficulty of expressing themselves. To Stephen. who had accepted the new condition of things and whose whole nature had bloomed again under the sunshine of hope, 1t was the less in- tolerabie: she had set herself to wait. But Harold felt the growth. and began go through with 1t There was over him. increasing with the growth Of It's own ravages, sort of moral jaundice. That bitter hour, when the whole Of creation was for him turned upside down, was having its after effect. But this is again of the very essence of tragedy. There are times when a sim gle minute of militant common sense would turn sorrow into joy; and yet that minute. our own natures being the opposing forces. will not be allowed to pass freely.
 Mrs. Stonehouse took their trouble so much, to heart that she spoke to her husband about 1t, seriously advising that one or other of them should make an effort to bring things in the right way for their happiness. The woman was right sure of the woman's feeling. It is from men. not women. that women are apfe 70 nlue their ioNe. ny siuo- glances and the minimizing moments women note and learn. The man knew already. from his own lips. or the mans passion; but his lips were sealed by his loyalty. He said earnestly:
 My dear. we must not interfere: we might cause them great trouble. am as sure as you are that they really love each other. But they must win .happi- ness by themselves and through thern- selves alone. Otherwise It would never be to them what it ought to be: what 1t might be; what it will bel"

The man who is chosen president should, in our estimation, be one who is interested Ill hls home team and loyal to It, but not so intimately and actively connected with it that his acts can be construed as being part1al to that team. To illustrate the sort of man we have in mind we mention Howard F. Landon of Salisbury, Milo Richardson jr. of Lime Rock and Henry D. Reed of Canaan.
 The umpiring and the presidency will have vitally important bearing on the success of the 1909 season and should receive most careful and thoughtful con- sideration on the part of the directors.

TOINcREASE SALARY

It is probable that an effort will be made at the next session of the Connec- ticut legislature to increase the salary of the representatives. They now receive $500 each which all say is inadequate when the sessions are of usual length. They claim this amount hardly pays ex- penses. It is not unlikely, however, that some of the towns, particularly those whose representatives have not, during past years been as faithful in at tendance as they ought, would favor paying the representatives a certain sum for each days attendance rather than lump sum which the representa- tive would receive whether he faithfully attended the legi 'lative sessions or not

A Lenox man was relieved of $400 by pickpockets while on his way to the Great Harrington fair last week. It is not easy to determine whether or not this man is entitled to sympathy. It is a well known fact that the ht-fngered gentry follow fairs and other large gath erings and the man who attends with a pocket filled with money does so with the knowledge that he is likely to suffer loss. The sensible man carries just enough for car fare and expenses.
