The Waterbury asylum affords the
criminal more than single promise
of freedom, 1t appears. The Windsor
convict only has to stimulate insanity
for a time, when he is sent to Water
bury for observation II it appears
that doubt exists as to his sanity, he
gets the benefit of the doubt and
stays at Waterbury, which is much
pleasanter than Windsor. After a
time, when he is cured" the court
may discharge him, as 1t did Mildred
Brewster, or he may be worked out
as the Bau girl was. But If this is too
long coming, why, It's an easy way
over the fence to freedom, as Elroy
Kent found It. Either we ought to
have a criminal insane ward at Wind
sor, or an insane criminal ward at
Waterbury and 1t ought pever to be
overlooked that whether these people
are insane or not, they are certainly
criminal, and should be guarded and
treated as such, for the public's pro-
tection.-Randolph Herald and News.

NOT HER s

When a young girls thoughts be-
come sluggish; when she has head
aches, dizziness, faintness, and ex-
hibits an abnormal disposition to
sleep; dislikes the society of other
girls; then the mother should come
to her aid promptly, for she pos

AT such time the greatest aid to

Hon. George II. Prouty, the Republic
can candidate for Governor is urging
on the voters the Importance of adver
Using the resources and attractions of
the state In order to bring visitors and
business here. Here is suggestion
good, 1t seems to us, for Bennington.
Along the line of the trolley road from
here to Great Darlington are more
than a hundred thousand people, and
II we include visitors, probably over
two hundred thousand in the course OF
a summer. A great majority of these
have never visited Bennington. Why
not make some organized effort to get
them to pay this town visit. Every
one who comes is likely to leave a
little money here, II only few cents
for post cards, soda or cigars and the
aggregate benefit to the town would
be great. Bennington is an attractive
town scenically and historically and
well worthy of a call from our neigh
bors on the south. Lets ask them VI
for day at least.

MARSHAL The MENTAL FACULTY
system Necessary to Get Best Work
from the Brain.

The normal mind acts under law.
The mental faculties will not give up
their best unless they are marshaled
by system They respond cordially TO
order, but they rebel against sllpshod
methods. They are like soldiers.
They must have leader, general
who enforces order, method. The ma
iorlty of people get very little out or
their brains because they never learn
to think systematically. Their minds
are like some country stores where
everything is jumbled up. There ID
no order or method anywhere. They
browse, OF cogitate, but they DO not
focus their minds and conduct their
mental processes with order.
Slovenly mental habits will destroy
the finest minds. The strength and per-
sistency OF our habitual thought force
measure our efficiency. The habitual
thought-force in many people Is 80
feeble and spasmodic that they cannot
focus their minds with sufficient vigor
to accomplish much.
We can quickly tell the first time we
meet person whether his thought
force is strong or weak, for every SEN
tence he utters will partake OF Its
quality. The person who has mega
tive thought-force betrays his lack OF
strength in his every word. His Ian.
guage ia weak, has no gripping quality.
But the man with vigorous men,
tally takes right hold Of you, grips
your mind with every sentence. His
power thrills you, and you feel lmme-
diately that you are in the presence OF
a strong personality. 1t is the posi-
tive, the aggressive thought that Gre
ates, that invents The negative
thought is always weak.-Success

BECOME USED TO EARTHQUAKES.
Dwellers In the Tropics Pay Little
Heed to the Shocks.

To the average resident Of the TEN.
perate zones an earthquake is a rare
and terrible event, creating more con.
sternation than any other visitation OF
nature. In the tropics, however, par
tlcularly in Central America, 1t is
wonderful how easy the residents be
come accustomed to these shocks
which do not come, however, wholly
without warning.
You are sitting on a piazza, OF hot
afternoon, chatting with your friends,
when suddenly the sky seems to grow
hazy, the crows stop cawing and the
buzzards quit fighting in the street.
There is general rush, and, though
you may not know what is the matter,
you cannot help feeling uneasy.
The old natives say: I'VE are go
ing to have little shake" and then
the house begins to rock, the tumblers
fall of the table, you feel deadly sick
at the stomach, and the thing is all
over. The sky clears, the crows begin
their noisy screams, and the buzzards
resume their quarrel over the street
offal.
There is something inexpressibly
terrifying, however, about the trem-
bling of the earth. The slightest os-
cillation will awaken the population
of the whole town, but unless some
considerable damage is done, every
body goes to sleep again as a matter
| of course.

WHAT THE LOG LINE WAS FOR.
Passenger New to the Sea Receives
Lucid Explanation.

Officers on the coastwise and for
eign steamship lines are not limited
to their regular duties, but are expect
ed to answer the questions Of curious
passengers besides. Sometimes. how
ever, the passengers take the matter
into their own hands, and instruct 9TH
era more ignorant than themselves.
The purser on a well-known liner
tells of a lady who had made a pas
sage before, and who in consequence
felt a superior knowledge Of maritime
things.
Several ladies were grouped In the
stern, this one among them. when
their attention was attracted by the
log with its long line attached to the
rail.
why, what can that be?" inquired
one Of the party.
"That?" said the knowing one,
well, you see the vessel has to keep
In communication with the land, and
In order to tell Just how far they have
got on the passage they keep one end
tied to the dock, and by looking at
the amount of line paid out they can
tell Just how far they are from the
other side"
"Ohl" exclaimed the other, after
this lucid explanation. We'll, have
always heard of the log, but I never
knew what one vas before. Thank
you so Youths Companion.

Remedy for Choking.

Raising the left arm as high as you
can will relieve choking much more
rapidly than the act of humping ones
back" said n physician, land 1t is we'll
that everyone should know It, for often
a person gets choked while eating
where there is no one near to thump
him. Very frequently at meals and
when they are at play. children get
choked while eating, and the custom
airy manner OF relieving them Is to
slap them sharply on the back. The
effect Of this is to set the obstruction
free. The same thing can be brought
about by raising the left hand Of the
child as high as possible and the relief
comes much more quickly. In happen
ings OF this kind there should be no
alarm, for If the child sees that older
persons or parents get excited the ef-
feet is bad. The best thing is to tell
the child to raise It's left arm and Inn
nediately the difficulty passes away" "

In the appalling reign of anarchy
which for many months has dis

Vile New Era, there have been no
acts more wanton and wicked
than the concerted destruction OF
the property Of the Illinois Central

deyillsh gang Of outlaws that go by
the unholy name Of Night Riders.

pie who love their state and their
country. II IS almost uncomfortable

murderers and maTauders not onh
