These Married Men.

"a charming actress sat beside me
one night at a dinner" said Phila-
delphia playwright "and with the fish
some one began to talk about wifely
extravaganza.
'The actress listened to tale after
tale of the ruinous extravaganza of
wives, and finally she said:
"'Wives' extravagance-oh, yes. You
men are all alike. You are all like the
broker who at midnight at his club
hiccoughed. wiped his eyes and said
brokenly:
"'''This is the sixth bottle Of cham
payne I've drunk today, all through
my wife making me lose my temper.
1t is terrible what a lot of money that
woman costs me."'"

In his annual address before the state grange of Connecticut, at Hartford last week, State Master Wood referred to 8 new National Grange paper the pub ication of which was recently con- menced, and advised all the grangers to become subscribers. He further said "Connecticut Patrons are beset with local papers in which the grange has a part and admonished the Patrons not to neglect the new paper.
 "Beset by local papers," We'll, we'll. We fear that state master Wood will be called to account for that utterance by the grange powers that be. Beset means to waylay, besiege, perplex and harass.
 After the many times the grange has asked the country papers to publish the news pertaining to the order, and after the very complete manner in which they reported the recent National Grange meeting at Hartford, such utterances as this by State Master Wood sound bit peculiar To say the least, it is an odd sort of way to show appreciation for favors extended by the local press.
 But possibly it didn't sound exactly as he meant. it. At any rate we know he did not voice grange sentiment at large when he made the statement and THE NEWS is as ready to publish reports of the doings of Litchfield county granges now as it has been in the past.

THAT NEW RULING

The new ruling of the postof1ce de- weekly newspapers the right to send their papers to subscribers more than one year in arrears. is bound to cause con- sternation in some offices and satisfac- out of business and have little effect on others. There are various opinions as to the ruling, soma publishers believing it is an interference with their per sonal rights and others considering that the postoffice department is fully justi- fled. This one thing, however, is cer- tain, i.e., it will mean the loss of some subscribers to every weekly paper in the land but it will compel the adoption of a new policy in the handling of sub- scription accounts and perhaps it will eventually save money for the publisher It is wise, at any rate, to take the the order must be complied with by local papers, regardless of the result.
 Everyone knows that the last men to be paid. in some sections of the country, are the doctor and the publisher of the county paper The subscriber has fallen into the habit of neglecting his subScrip- tion account and the newspaper man is partially at fault for this state of affairs.
 He knows the subscriber is 'good for it." knows he will "drop in and pay the first time he thinks of it" or for some other reason he hesitates to send the de- inquent bill. Many country newspa- pers are conducted on lines that would mean ruin in any other business. Do you know of grocer who would wait five or ten years for debtor to "drop in and pay up?" No, you don't but we have known, in New York state, of newspaper publishers who did that very thing.
 The debtor who knows he must pay the butcher, the baker or the grocer and now that Uncle Sam has prescribed for newspapers time limit (which many publishers believe they should have prescribed for themselves long ago) the delinquent subscriber will of necessity. be more punctual ill the payment of his subscription bill. |.
 THE NEWS, very fortunately, is one of the few papers in the country upon which this new ruling will not impose hardship because (and we thank them for it) our subscribers as a rule, have been remarkably punctual in making their annual payments.
 Looking at the matter from all stand points, it appears to us that the new ruling will benefit the country papers more than it will harm them.
 One thing is absolutely certain, i. G., that the dead beat''. the fellow who or ders the paper with the expectation and intention of "omitting" to pay for the same, will find his occupation gone.
 And the class to which this fellow be longs IS larger than the man on the out side would naturally suppose.

A WONIAN'S PREDICAMENT.
Starving Because She Cannot Sell
Her Own Property.

What queer laws we have, anyway!
One of the curious conditions which
may result from such laws is revealed
by the case of New Jersey woman,
which as she relates it herself is
something like this:
She owns property valued at $l6,-
900, but as she is married woman
she cannot dispose Of that property
without the signature of her husband.
The husband in this case seems to be
a worthless sort of individual. After
they had been married short time
he induced his wife to mortgage the
property, then he pawned her jewels
and then he deserted her, leaving
her without money. AS result she
had him arrested, and now he lies in
jail, supported by the State. But he
refuses to consent to the sale of his
wife's property, and she, though the
rightful owner of it, is unable to dis
pose of it and is consequently with
out proper food and without fuel.
Her Thanksgiving dinner, she says,
consisted of nothing but potatoes.
The district attorney says she is
worse off than pauper, for as she
is the owner of property she has no
claim on the community for aid, and,
as her husband won't consent to the
sale of what is hers and was never
his, she has no way to provide her
self with the necessities of life.-Buf-

NIGHT RIDER JURORS ILL.
New Indictments Necessary in Reel
Foot Lake Investigation.

Union City, Tenn, December l.
Because, of the illness of two mem
bers of the recent night riders jury,
necessitating the naming of others to
replace them, all the testimony upon
which the former indictments were
based may have to be repeated before
the new indictments are returned.
Attorney General Caldwell and che at
torneys for the State were in confer
ence until late tonight, considering
whether it would be legal merely to
read to the present grand jury the
stenographic notes of the testimony
upon which the recent grand jury
based it's indictments. With the ex-
ception of two the personnel of the
iuries are identical. The new lndlct-
ments were decided on because the
attorneys for the alleged night riders
cushioned the validity of the old ones.
The feeling in the community is ex-
tremely bitter and many of the citl-
zens go about armed.
Judge Jones today appealed to ev-
cry law-abiding citizen in the State to
help to stamp out the vicious and an
archistic element. He demanded the
death penalty for those guilty of a
capital offence in connection with
night rider raids.
