1t is wicked for us to 60 about
with faces which indicate that life
has been a disappointment to us
instead of a glorious JOY. 1t shows
that We have missed the real object
of living, that we have never caught
. glimpse of the realities Of life,
but that we are living in the sha-
dows, in the gloom instead of the
sunshine of reality, of truth, of
beauty. 1t indicates that we have
not even caught glimpse of the
real glory OF life. Success Maya

Waterbury Men Flew By Man With
 Danger In His Eve.

pr J. J. McLinden, his brother, ! Hugh McLinden, and George Donanue
 were returning from the shore In the
 doctors automobile about half past
 five yesterday afternoon, when just
 the other side of Derby they observed team coming toward them, with the { horse on dead run. The occupants
 were two Hebrews. who kept shout ! ing to the oncoming automobile to {, turn back, that crazy man was De- hind chasing them The automobile passed the team, paying no attention i to the warnings of the owners and
 soon they saw running toward them
 man and a boy also shouting a
 warning that crazy man was pursu- ing them. Still the doctor and his companions did not stop and as they rounded bend in the road, they oD- served a strangely acting individual approaching them on the run. De- fore the automobile reached him, he stopped down and picking up huge boulder in both hands, he raised 1t above his head and called on the au- tomobilists to stop or he would brain them. He acted like crazy person sure enough and he had look on his face that was more like f1end than human being. The automobile was on down grade and it was impossi- ble to pull up, before they would have passed the man, so the occu- pants took hand in the shouting themselves and waved their arms at the man in front of them. It seemed to scare him some and the stone was lowered just as the automobile dash ed by him at full speed. You may be sure they did not stop to question the man as to his sanity nor as to his motives for holding up passengers on the highway and they burned the road from that point until the next village was reached, where they re- lated their story. While their friends lay the attack to the antics of crazy drunk, they themselves can see that mad face and upraised rock now, and they are satisfied they got through the scene in safety.

 health such as the tenement, the
 refuse heap, stagnant street water. etc, when one prominent M. D. pen- tioned the brick walk, and here dis
 cussion tarried for a short time. It seemed to the reporter, at first, that the brick sidewalk had as little to do with the ills which flesh is heir to, as | the burnt child has to do with the | fire or Anthony Carrefi ,with a collar and necktie, bIt as the discussi4
 warmed up he learned that the bri<& sidewalk has been found the dire<< causeSof hundreds of cases of the f1a<4| foot which shoe dealers try to remedy
 with an arch brace. That there is nd kind of walk which produces painful eallouses on the feet as easily as the old brick sidewalk at which New Ha-| ven should be justly ashamed. That there are more accidents from falling on icy brick walks than on any other kind, etc. The wear on shoe leather and peoples patience were not brought into the discussion. This evil or menace which was so carelesss5 struck upon finally was suggested sz one of enough moment to be brought up before the next meeting of the New Haven Medical society to see what action could be, t~xen to have the taboo put on th brick sidewalks which are already built and rebuilt from time to time.
