IT will be interesting to see the log

 Mr Archbold is right when he says
 the oil trust gets closer to the cor sumer than the Independents. The trus4 gets it's hand right into your nocket and appropriates even the sllall change Bridgeport Post.
 You may abuse your enemy, your fr;cnd and your kin and possibly es-
 cape punishment, but if you abuse
 your stomach you will have to ac- count for it. No matter how good the stomach, it will not stand for
 abuse.--New Haven Union.
 The grouchy bachelor believes that the Washington court that gave an opinion that a mans wife has a
 right to pick his pockets at will, gave
 a righteous opinion, that when a
 man marries he ought to be the vic tim of pickpockets, - New Haven Palladium.
 The tclegraphers had to stretch his years to make Andrew Carnegie 73. Samuel L. Clemens really is 19,
 But who would have thought it?
 Despite his white and wandering hair, despite the whiteness of his
 sarments-sOmetimes-no one can think of Mark Twain as aged. Such is the youthful power of humor. With added years he grows younger, May he reach an excessive youth.- New Haven Register.
 When young man of 20 starts fires simply because he wants to see the engines go, there is but little doubt that he is insane and should
 be placed where the desire for such
 a display will not lead him to cause serious mischief. In Rochester there have been eight incendiary blazes in a few weeks and when the perSCn who sets them was arrested he promptly admitted that the only in sniration was the desire 10 see the engines rush to the scene.-New London Day.
 Dr Knight of Salisbury is still in the race for the speakership of the house. He will not, his friends say. eliminate himself therefrom to any great extent, so long as the game lasts, and while he is buttonhOling the members elect, it eau be stated with authority, that Dr Knight is and will be a candidate for speaker of hH counted. It would be somewhat in teresting to know whether Dr Knight will have Boss Fyler's SUD- port.-Bridgeport Farmer.
 A charity publication tells of missionary in a tropical island who desired to teach the natives his own ideas of dress. Accordingly, he pre- sented the fairest woman of her tribe sufficient cloth wherewith 10 make skirt. Instead of following his directions, she wound the cloth into towering turban for the adorn- ment of her head. It will thus be seen that the passion for imposing millinery pervades the farthest cor ners of the earth and overcomes all the minor senses of propriety-Mer- iden Journal.
 There is a condition and not a theory that exists in the character of the men who offer themselves for the army and navy just now or who have recently done so. No man ac- customed in the use of alcohol. or alcoholic drinks. can be accepted in either arm of the service, but where as last year the per cent of men re- jncted on that account was ten to thousand the rejections last year were seven times as many. Now it does not follow necessarily that seven times as many young men were drinking last year as the wear before. but it does show that seven times as many drinking men offered themselves for service. in one arm or he other.-Bridgeport Standard.
 Rear-Admiral Joseph Bullock Cogh- Ian, whose death occurred at New Rochelle last week, had a record of long and and honorable service in the navy, which he entered as ensign in 1863. He participated in the battle of Manila bay, but nothing in his naval service gave him fraction of the fame he earned when he re- cited Me und Gott' at a Union League club banquet in 1899. It was an international episode which to become serious. but after a half apology to Germany, cOuched in highly diplomatic lan- guage. by the late John Hay. then secretary of state the incident was laughed out Of serious consideration. The slip did not break the rear-ad- miral, as was expected, but it fast ened on him the reputation of a humOrist and the sobriquet of "Hoch der Kaiser" CoghIan for the rest of his life.-New York World
