 New England farmers, who a few years ago were hard pressed by mortgages, seem to have withstood the business depression rather bet ter than other people. They held the prices of their product firm at top notch and they had enough cash to prepare the ground for this sea sons crops. Inasmuch as they are considered the backbone of Ameri- can prosperity, it is pertinent to know that they have not been seri- ously affected by the recent finan- cial pression.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 The New York to Paris automo- bile race is developing some . TO- mantle features, in the run west ward across Siberia. The German car claims to be SO ahead. but that does not offset the American car which came near going over a 200 foot precipice and is threatened with attacks from brigands, the party on board being reported to be very rich! The brigands of Siberia would doubtless, like to put that party away, in cold storage for a ransom. and may do it.-Bridgeport Stand ard.
 A number of women's clubs or similar organizations, around the country, are denouncing the cheap shows which have sprung up within the past two years. It is beyond question that many of the cheap picture shows are open to strong criticism, with the suggestive quail ity of their pictures. On the other hand it is equally true that some reputable amusement managers, convinced of the popularity of such places. are trying to run them on respectable and decent lines.-New Haven Palladium.
 The Springfield Republican al- ludes to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston as a bit of old time bric-a-brac and its drills and field day exercises as mass of tom foolery. Police Commissioner OMeara would not permit the re- veille to be sounded in front of the officers homes at 4 a. m. so this important annual duty was per formed in front of the Parker house Monday morning, the clink or glasses being the response from the Lar battlefield within. Bric-a-brac and tomfoolery are hard names for such an organization. If they were applied to the Putnam Phalanx there would be trouble.-New Brlt- ain Herald.

New Teeth Given Horse.

Fishers Island. June 4.-The horse Jim. owned by A. K. Kline, en- gineer of the Fishers Island pump ing station, has new set of teeth. Last week Jim, who is in his 18th year, had arrived at that stage of the game where he either had to have something better to chew on or give up for good as he was about all in. So Mir Kline. who hates to give up old friends brought him up to George Miller. manager of the liy- cry stable, to see what could be done to save him. Mir Miller i'm mediately set to work and procur- ing some good teeth from horse that had recently been dispensed with, he removed Jim's old stumps and replaced them by driving a sound tooth into each vacancy. In a remarkably short time Jim was in possession of a set of new front teeth. Considerable blood was lost in the operation and the gums were sore for a few days, but these soon hardened and now the old horse, who has taken on new lease of life. can handle any kind of fod- der that comes his way.

Elmira. \. T.. June A search of the records of the Elmira reformatory discredits Truelson's alleged comics sion in regard to the Guinness murders. From Nov 8, 1905. continuously until Dec. 20. 1906, he was an inmate of the reformatory, but he alleges he core sponded with Mrs. Gunness continu- ously up to Dec. 9. 1906. That would have been impossible. for inmates of the reformatory are allowed to core spond with relatives only, and all cor respondence is watched. On Dec. %. 1906. he was turned over to a federal officer. taken to Portsmouth. x. H.. after court martial and confined for about one year. Therefore his state ment that he went to Laporte on Dec. 9. 1906. and that in May. 1907. he took his wife there to be killed cannot be true.

The republican national committee has selected Senator Burrows for tenn porary chairman, and John E. Malloy of Columbus, Ohio, a Foraker man, for temporary secretary of the na- tional convention. This means that the temporary organization will be hostile to Taft, and that most of the 200 contesting delegates opposed to Taft will probably be admitted to the republican convention.
