ENDURANCE.

Edward Payson Weston in his tramp
across the continent is mot up to
schedule time. and the public appear
to regard his great test of physical
endurance as too old-fashioned to be
interesting. The fact which ne is striv-
ing to demonstrate Is that a man may
preserve his physical vigor and en-
durance for half a century-that at
20 he may DO a task which would be
creditable to an athlete of 20, does
not command the attention it should;
neither is the lesson that he is trying
to teach appreciated by this later
generation, which has almost been
made legless by the too free use of
bicycles, trolley cars and automobiles.
The weather conditions have been ex-
ecrable and the roads have not prov
en- to be as good as when he made
the trip fifty years ago, so that really
IT would call for greater strength and
endurance to accomplish in 100 days
now what he did in 1859. What Wes-
ton is teaching is that temperance in
all things is a guaranty of good health,
Of long life, of undated physical Wig
or That exercise is as necessary as
food, and that deep breathing and sim
pie living and right thinking are the
foundations for an old age which has
not lost the essence of youth. But
teaching men how to live long and
be happy when they are faithless con-
cerning It, takes q man with faith in
himself and in the ability Of truth to
abide regardless of the public's atti-
tude toward 1t.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Norwich's Anniversary.

The two hundred and fiftieth ami
versary Of Norwich was fittingly and
enthusiastically observed and celebrat-
ed on the expanded Fourth. Those who
were fortunate enough to be in the
city during the festivities do not need
to be told about it, but those of US who
could not be there got into the spirit
of the occasion through the columns of
The Norwich Bulletin, which issued a
special anniversary edition. The Bull
letin long ago acquired the habit of
handling all important news matters
in most satisfactory way, but in this
instance it achieved special distinction.
Many special editions come to us and
almost without exception they are ex-
cellent, but 1t is rare to find one that
SO happily fills the bin as does The
Bulletin. 1t very completely tells the
history of Norwich and vicinity, and
tells it in an entertaining and compre-
hensive way. Its story is good deal
more than a mere record of events 1t
is newspaper work to be proud Of And
live newspaper is a most important
factor in such a celebration as Nor
witch has just INDUCED. Thousands of
people get their Impressions and most
of their knowledge of the town through
Its newspapers. Those who read The
Bulletin of Saturday especially have it
firmly implanted in their minds that
Norwich is a mighty good town to live
in and one to take pride in.-Bristol

OUR SUPPLY OF PRESIDENTS.

There may have been a time in this
country when it was necessary to make
the goal of every boys ambition the
presidency of the United States, but
it is no longer necessary High as
pirations are all right, but such COM
plete singleness of purpose is all
wrong. An eminent educator at Chi
cago has risen to say that 1t Is not
the business of the public school sys-
tenn to fit every American boy for that
position; some of these boys are going
to be laborers, mechanics, artisans
something besides president, and right
now they are neglected"
The professions are overcrowded
and the industries, just as crowded
perhaps, need more skilled labor. The
time has actually arrived in America
when manual training should take its
place for the betterment of those who
must make their way in hfe's indus
trial competitions. There Is no OBJ
lection to laying before the juvenile
mind the mistakes of Andrew Jackson
or of Theodore Roosevelt, or to plant
ing there the hope that some day,
somewhere. he may be the popular ia
vorite for the first place m the gift
Of the people. There is nothing in the
industrial training to mar president.
In fact, there Is no danger that a pres
ident may become too practical. 1t is
the other thing which is to be avoid
ed, hence the declaration of the Chi
cago man does not seem 10 be unneces-
sary or ill-timed.

The subscriptions for the Jubilee
book of the 25Oth anniversary celeba-

production of the invitation sent out
to our absent sons and daughters.
There will be nothing lacking in the
way of information, Illustrations and

other for ten copies. Others are or
dering single copies for themselves.
Please send in your name promptly.
No better advertisement of Norwich
could be had than the placing Of
copy OF this Jubilee book in every IL
brary in the state Of Connecticut, and
one in every great library of the coun-
try, including the National library at
Washington.
OF course, a copy should be sent to
each of the city's distinguished guests,
free.
There In no profit IN such work for
a publisher. 1t Just puts on a COM
plete finish to the celebration and pre-
serves facts which are handy for ref
erence In every mans library.

THE ARM SWINGERS.

The habit of swinging the arms in
walking is common to good per cent.
Of the men and it appears to be in
creasing among our young business
women. If Sir Victor Horsley is right
in his opinion Of the origin of the hab-
It, II is not style to affect, but a
manner to drop.
Sir Victor Horsely, who is an accept
ed authority in such matters, has in
formed the London Medical society
that this ungraceful habit for which
boys and girls used to be slapped in
the good old days of parental discl-
pline, is merely relic of the time
when the ancestors of the race went
on all fours and were obliged to use
their arms as well as their legs to
propel themselves along. 1t is evident
that the human race has not become
thoroughly accustomed to the upright
position even yet. Sir Victor remarks
that the habit is quite unnecessary,

lull in the activities of the great con-
Germ in which he was such a force
was ordered and in scores of branch
offices and In the producing plants of
this vast business all the employees for
an hour or two ceased work as a sign
Of respect and honor.
The other man was a minister. He
newer annassed much wealth, but as
preacher. author, patriot, philanthro-
pist, peace maker, he gained distinc-
tion such as few ministers have ever
attained. Many people knew him
chiefly as the 'Lend-a-Hand" man
who started the "Ten Times One is
Ten" clubs, who inspired hundreds of
others to do something for their fell
low men, who himself went about like
his Master doing good. 1t made no
difference with this great heart wheth-
er the man in need was black or
white, ignorant or learned rich or
poor. He welcomed every chance to
lend the helping hand, and when once
a burglar was convicted of robbing his
house and was sentenced to Jail for
several years he let the law take its
proper course, but almost every week
wrote a friendly letter to the one who
robbed him Of his goods, and when his
term Of Imprisonment expired found
him a good Job and assisted him back
to the ranks of honest and useful cit
liens. This was but one of a multi
tude of instances of friendhness, Only
God knows how many times and in
what unusual ways this good minis

both of these men. But how different
a type each represented. The multi

about him times without number in

erect and a mind as clear as man of
so. He was without doubt the most
wonderful man from a physical stand
point that Norwich ever knew from
the day of it's founding. As a cen
tenarian he looked as full of energy
and was as jovial as many men half
his years. He was about six feet in
height and attributed his well being
to internal cleanliness. He would say
refined white bread is an unfit food.
He ate whole wheat bread and alleged
that all human food contained small,
hard, indigestible particles which in
the folds OF the intestines were breed
ers of disease and destroyers OF life.
He said to me on that day: Men have
learned to flush water pipes, and they
die from neglecting to regularly flush
their bowels" He attributed his pres
ervation to coarse food and the bodily
cleanliness which most people neglect.
He was feeble at 20 and a wonder OF
agility and strength at 100.
Moses Pierce was a man of patri-
archal nein and a positivist of the
first order. He liked to be humored-
liked TO have his way-and In this was
like most men of wealth and influence.
He could be as set as g. mule or as
gentle as a woman. He was large
hearted and liberal minded and was
only intolerant when he thought mis-
takes were being made in public or
private affairs. He always supported
the church and was found giving his
support to local missionary work OF
every sort. He was broad minded
and good-hearted man. Once when /
was irritated by the unjust remarks
Of a citizen and was near the fighting
point he took me by the arm and
gently led me away. Il wouldn't have

near trouble was till 1 thanked him

Rock Nook home for poor children and
the interest of the funds he left is do
ing the good work for others which he
designed it should.
This talk of men ! have met is made
for the purpose of putting on record
something of their personality that
those who are making search years
hence may get a glimpse of q side of
them which is not likely to get into
history or stately biographical sketch
es. The real human side Of public
men and benefactors ought to be
brought into the light. There are few
saints among men, but good-hearted
ness flashing with human sympathy
and generosity-joviality which has
caused thousand to laugh
where 1t caused one to
weep-companion which has
made life pleasureable for many people
are all worthy of a place upon the
printed page. That is why this talk
at this time is INDUCED in.

ADVICE TO CONNECTICUT.

The authorities of Wesleyan univer-
sity. and beyond them to the public
spirited citizens Of Connecticut. must
soon decide whether there shall be a
coordinate college for women at that
institution, now that they have been
deprived Of their co-edueational priv
ueges? Acting President Rice said at
The commencement exercises this week
that a gift Of 100000 now would pro-
vide educational advantages for wo-
men that could not be secured for two
millions few years hence. The
Hartford Times says that ION general
grounds 1t may be doubted whether an
additional college for women is needed
in New England" but a few observa-
tons In Massachusetts would have a
tendency to change that opinion. AL
though Wellesley has been building
dormitories at the rate of one a wear.
or more, recently, she still has to put
up the bars to applicants eight months
in advance of a new year. and Smith
is becoming similarly embarrassed. In
fact II is the same story in all these
institutions. Connecticut ought not to
be willing to lag behind Rhode Island
in this respect.-Meriden Journal.
The Journal is right, although the
site at Middletown is not the only
site. A hrst-c class woman's college
ought to be in town by itself-create
its own college atmosphere and fame.
In any Connecticut city where there is
no college there is opportunity for the
development of an institution as at
tractive as Wellesley in Massachusetts
or any other. Middletown is not the
place for such q college. Norwich
could furnish site, and such an in
stitution would just fit the Rose of
New England"
