THE TASK OF MRS SAGE.
FROM THE HARTFORD TIMES.

It was a great task for Mir Sage to
 accumulate his vast property; it is perhaps still greater task for Mrs
 Sage to distribute it. Mir Sage worked hard, patiently and shrewdly to amass his millions; Mrs Sage is devoting her fine mind to applying them to philan- thropy. Already she has disposed of something like Sl5. 900. Many wor- thy charitable and religious enterprises have been benefited and strengthened by her bounty, and some new institu- tions designed to make for the better ment of mankind have been founded. To give..a away Ithree-score millions of dollars in way that will accomplish a maximum amount of good and min- imum amount of harm is a gigantic task. The perlexities of the under taking are many. Mrs Sage is working diligently, conscientiously and lntelli- gently to employ her millions in man. ner that will make the world better. The plodding way in which the Sage fortune was accumulated evoked many sneers; the charitable way in which it is being distributed evokes only ap- proval. The money which MT Sage got together and which his wi dow is planting in useful and humanitarian projects is likely U accomplish much good.

At yester morn the Earth looked up, Walked by a robins trill; His note proclaiming Spring has
 come," Echoed from dale and hill. At yester noon Earth's bosom
 throbbed With Summers fulsome bliss. Her face reflected. forth the joy Bestowed by Flora's kiss. At yester eve old Mothers" lap Held Autumn's gathered hoard. Her hands were full---her pockets, too, Had treasures safely stored. At yester night the tired Earth slept Beneath a robe ice-spun. Old Winter held frosty sway; Twas night-the Day was done. And thus-an hour, day, year. Doth mark life's little span. At yester morn babe new born, At yester noon a man. From monday till the shadows fall Life's work seems just begun. But night draws near; the busy hand Is still-and life is done.

The users can talk of the Holsman and see what one of them has to say about the machine.
 Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 2s,l9O7. Holsman Automobile Co.,, Chicago, III. : Gentlemen-You no doubt will be in- terested in knowing how the trip from Joplin came off; the roads were so rough that l could not travel more than four miles an hour at times, this being due to heavy rain and freeze-up two days later, lots of bridges washed out, and was obliged to ford streams over two feet deep and mount inclines that one could not drive up with horse and buggy, which was truly a demon- stration for the car that do not think it ever had. but it was fit for all oc- casions except through the Meridegine River bottoms, where l travelled through mud and water for over a mile nearly hub deep, when finally l struck a mud hole that for an instant thought there was no bottom to; from this place had to be pulled out by a team of horses. However it demon- strated to my satisfaction that if the machine is handled properly it will go any place one can drive with horses.

CAN FISH IN RESERVOIR,

CAN FISH IN RESERVOIR.
 The fishermen of Bethel and vicinity are rejoicing over the decision of the water commissioners, who after care. full consideration have decided to allow fishing in the reservoir and Mountain lake for the two months of September and October. In taking the law off for these two months they do so witt the understanding that should there be any abuse of the privilege, or com. plaints made in regard to any fishing parties doing any damage about the property, the law will immediately be put on again. Consequently it will be for the interest of those who desire to fish there to see that there is nothing done about the premiess that will in any way cause damage either at the reservoir or Mountain lake. The con- missioners desire it distinctly under stood that they will positively not al- low any fishing there on Sundays and any one caught fishing on the Sabbath will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
 PUTNAM PARK COMMISSIONERS
 HAVE A GOOD TIME.
 The Bethel commissioners of the Putnam Camp Commission, who went to Hartford, Friday, August 28, to at- tend the monthly meeting of the con- mission, returned home, Friday even- ing, feeling that they had spent most profitable day. The commissioners were escorted by one of their number, George A. Parker, who is superintend- ent of all of the public parks and the cemeteries of Hartford, about the va rious parks of the city. The object of the visit was with a view to improving Putnam Park and still retain it's his- toric value. The visit to Kenney Park was perhaps as instructive as any for, in this park, nature predominates and the visitors learned many things which they believe may be applied to Putnam Park and add to its beauty.

MAKING FAST TIME.

New York, Jan. 22.-Thes trip OF
three submarine torpedo boats, from

comment in naval circles.
The trip was made III seventeen and
half hours, although much of it
was through heavy seas. and in the
teeth of very stiff breeze This is
the first time that boats of this class
have made such trip under their
own power.
The boats will go into dry dock
today, and, after scraping and re-
painting, they will go to Newport
News, said to be the longest trip
ever attempted by submarines. They
will undergo a number of tests. The
three boats are 50 IL feet long and

Washington, Jan. 2I.-A protest
has been filed by Wilkinson Call, of
Florida, against William James
Bryan being permitted to retain his
seat The protest was referred 70
the Committee on Privileges and
Elections
Mr.. Calls contention is that the
present governor of Florida was
chosen at primaries where white men
only were permitted to vote. He
holds that the. exclusion of negroes
from this privilege invalidates the
election of the governor and hence
the appointment of Bryan as senator
1t is not expected that any action
will be taken in the matter by tn c
Mr. Calls previous claim to fame
rests upon the vivid socks he wore
when he himself was a member OF
the senate That decorous body was
scandalized one day in 1901 when the
senator from Florida calmly remov-
ed his shoes and put his feet on his
desk. Senator Kyle, who was speak
ing at the time, promptly moved to
the other side of the chamber.

THE STRONGEST MAN vTO
FIGHT TAFT.
IS NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM
But Will Take Him in Preference to
Taft if they Can't Land Fairbanks
or Cannon-Hughes Would Neith-

Washington, Jan. 22-Much inter
est is attached to the forthcoming
speech OF Gov. Hughes, of New York
before the republican club of that
state on Friday, January 81. Hughes
is now looked upon as possibly the
strongest candidate the anti admins
tration party republicans have TO
fight Taft if he takes the right po-
sition on public matters.
The anti Rooseveltians are not IN
love with Hughes but take him in
preference to Taft if it can't land
Fairbanks or Cannon. They fear
that Taft would be entirely domn-
mated by Roosevelt, while Hughes
is more independent, and though he
IS in sympathy with Roosevelt's
doctrines is less likely to be as radi-
cal They believe that Hughes will
take the middle ground, neither for
nor against Roosevelt's plans
Republicans all over the country
are awaiting Hughes speech at the
| club dinner with MO little interest, and
| the democrats are equally interested.
| The event will almost be national in
| importance, for it may bring forth
radical change in the sentiments OF

THOSE EXPECTING AD-
VANCES DISAPPOINTED


New York, Jan. 22.-Amid mass
of confusing features it was notice
able that many who had expected q
quick ard immediate advance in cot
ton was so disappointed at the failure
of the market to respond to the fav
orab1e reports from Liverpool that
they sold their holdings
This brought about a decline OF
90 points from yesterday followed by
a recovery of nearly all the decline,
but the market was uneasy over the
ginners report to be issued on Thurs
day morning and again declined
They consider this reaction quite
in order and believe that the under
lying factors have not changed.
A better demand is restored from
the American mills and cables state
that the strike in Manchester and
Liverpool is practically settled.
