Some Stray Leaves from a Reporters
Note Book.

Here is an alphabet Of proverbs:
A grain pf prudence is worth apound
of craft. Boosters are cousins to-
liars. Courage in Christians means
plenty Of backbone. Denying q fault
doubles II. Envy boots at Others and
wounds herself. Foolish fear dou-
bles anger. God teaches lis good
things by our own hands. He has
hard work who has nothing to do.
It costs more to revenge wrongs than
to suffer them Just Christians can
afford to be merciful. Knavery is
the worst ,rade. Learning makes a
man fit company for himself. Mod
esty isla grand virtue. Not to hear
conscience Is the way to silence. One
hour to-day is worth two tomorrow.
Proud looks make foul work in fair
faces. Quiet conscience is quiet
sleep Richest is he that wants
least. Small faults INDUCED in are
little thieves that let in large foes.
The boughs that bear most fruit
hang lowest. Upright walking is
sure walking. Virtue and happiness
are mother and daughter. Wise men
make more opportunities than they
find
People speak about their eyes
being tired, meaning that the retina
or seeing portion of the eye is ia
tigued, but such is not the case, as
the retina hardly ever gats tired.
The fatipIlp Is in tha innor and outar
muscles attached to the eyeball and
the muscles of accommodation which
surround the lens of the eye. When
a near object is to be looked at this
muscle relaxes and allows the lens
to thicken, increasing Its retroactive
power. The inner and outer mus
cles are used in covering the eye on
the object to be BOXED at, the inner
lone being especially used when a
lnear object is looled at. 1t is in the
three muscles mentioned that the IA
Eigue is felt, and relief is secured
Temporarily by closing the eyes or

Usual indication OF strain is a red
Jess of the rim Of the eyelid, be-
pkening a congested state of the in

lcates the need Of glasses rightly

POLITICAL POINTERS
The Outlook as Some Local
Democrats See II.

With view to getting line on
what local democrats think regard
Ing democratic nominee for the
presidency, a representative of this
paper interviewed several members
of the party to-day and found a
very marked change of base relative
to Bryan compared with that of four
years ago. Many said they should
be- pleased to see him in the race
provided there was any show OF
electing him, but they didn't think
the country wants him, and SO long
as this is SO theM made no bones Of
stating that the bringing out of
Bryan as a candidate means the
success Of the republican nominee.
Here are few expressions Of opin-
ions on the subject which may be
of public interest at this time:
Martin J. McEvoy: Il should
prefer to wait until after the con-
vention, but | have no objection to
stating that / should be very much
pleased to see the nomination go to
Gray or Johnson"
Peter B. Reeves, former chair
man of the democratic town commit
tee: Il don't want Bryan because
I am convinced that he cannot be
elected Johnson is my choice. |
believe If he gets the nomination we
will win."
E. D. Weeks, a war horse demo-
crat of Litchfield county, who is well
known in Waterbury. was asked If
he cared to be quoted on this ques-
tion. He said: yes; it is proper
subject for any man to talk about.
1t is folly to nominate Bryan. 1t
may be all right for Bryan, but l
fail to see what there is in it fof
the democratic party. The man is
all right, but he represents an ire
concilable element which the con-
servate people of this country do
not want, and knowing this as every
thinking man ought to by this time.
it seems to be that anybody who
wishes to see the democratic party
return to power would be up and
doing from now on in the interest
of a candidate that can be elected.
Give us Johnson or Gray, anybody
that stands reasonable show of
mastering up sufficient following to
beat whoever the opposition trots
out. Most of our delegates favor
Johnson or Gray, though perhaps
one or two have always been Bryan
men have not yet seen the error of
their way, but I'm not sure of that. ;"

convention will suit me-"
''But who is your personal choice?'t
Mr. Kelley did not care to commit
himself but stated that he thinks
Bryan is much more popular in other
parts of the state than in Waterbury.

mated"

Climbing DER the garden wall.

Little feet will go astray-

Mother! watch the little hand
Picking berries by the way.
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask,
why to me this weary task:
These same little hands may prove
Messengers of light and love.
Mother! watch the little tongue
Prattling eloquent and wild.
What Is said and what is sung
BY the happy, joyous child,
Catch the word While yet unspoken,
Stop tho vow before tits broken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in a Saviours name.

Beating. soft and warm for you:

Character of a Happy Life.

Character Of Happy Life.
HOW happy is he born and taught
That servetln not another's will;
Whose armor is his honest thought
And simple truth his utmost skill!
Whose passions not his masters are.
Whose soul is still prepared for
death,
Not tied unto the world with care
OF public fame or private breath:
Who envies none that chance doth
raise,
Or vice: who never understood
How deepest wounds are given BY
praise.
Nor rules Of state. but rules Of good
What hath his life from rumors freed
Whose conscience is his strong re-

Whose state can neither flatterers
feed.
Nor ruin make accusers great:
Who God doth late and early pray
More of His grace than gifts to lend
AND entertains the harmless day
Win a well-chosen book or friend
inns man is freed from servile bands
or hope to rise or fear to fall;
Lord OF himself, though not Of lands,
And. having nothing. ySt hath all.
