CIRCULATION
pR. COOKS RErIRAcY.

There are two statements now be- fore the country concerning Dr. Cook which in any case but this would eith- CT one by themselves be accepted as reliable.
 His lawyer, Wellington Wac<. says pr. csok has gone to Naples. in poor physical condition, for the purpose of auietness and rest. with view of rsgatning his health.
 Dr. Cooks brother. on the other hand, declares that he is in New York in good health and hard at work upon hts forthcoming book.
 Dr. Cook, whether in the country or out of it, Is saying nothing, and one would say fin view of such statements his friends.
 mo closely allied to the doctor have ever made these statements. It looks on the face Of 1t like the weakest and most inconsistent faking the reading public has had imposed upon them.
 DE Cooks papers have gone to Dem mark. and this outburst of scandal and pretended defence is resorted to for the purpose of destroying confidence in him and his story.
 With Walter WelIman saying that such story can easily be faked and Professor Upton of Brown university saying that 1t is beyond the power of any man to fake such a story, intelli- gent readers should not be puzzled to decide which opinion is the more relia- ble
 The story of pr. Cook will soon be in the hands of the Danish experts and there is not the slightest fear that he can succeed in fooling them. As Dr. Upton says: Their verdict should be accepted by the world" The verdict will not be long delayed, for if it takes them no longer to decide upon Cooks data than it did the American Geo. graphical society to decide upon Peary's, the world will know early In the new year. if not before, whether Dr. Cock reached the North pole or not.

rhs Second pistrict Contest.

The campaign for Uncle Nehemiah Sperry's congressional gaiters, in the Second Connecticut district. is evil dently on in earnest, and the fight is going to be between Major John O. Tilson of New Haven and Colonel "Andy" N. Shepard of Portland. for mer senator from the Thirty fourth district and a present member of Gov, ernor Weeks staff.
 At banquet given in Colonel Shep- ards honor last week his congressional boom was formally launched. and the argument put forth that it is high time the congressional nomination came to the Middlesex county section of the district, New Haven county having monopoized it for more than gen. eration. It is generally understood, and on the authority of Congressman Sperry himself, that the present in cumbent who has represented the dis trict for the last twenty years, will not again be candidate. which leaves the field open and clear for whosoever will enter the lists.

When Ketohum Found the Lord.

The story of old man Ketchum- James N. Ketchum of Hartford. Sul- lican county-which the Rev. MT. Waugh of Monticello, uses effectively in his exhortations, is rather unusual. MT. Ketchum never found the Lord" until at the age of s5 years he was thrown from a load of feed down a fifty-foot embankment His skull was cracked and his neck was permanently deformed so that he could not turn his head. Physicians could do nothing for his neck, but he immediately sought and found religion. Shortly after wards he accidently fell against one of his horses, and in grasping it's tail caused the animal to kick viciously. The horses hind heels caught him sqrarely under the chin, and he was picked up for dead. Examination proved that while the old man was severely injured, the kink in his neck was entirely gone, and he is today en- toying health and happiness. The moral Is such as one chooses to make it-Buffalo Commercial.

CURING A DANGEROUS HABIT.

The resolute course being taken by New Jersey authorities to stop the carrying of concealed weapons must have the desired effect. To make law effective the punishment must be un- inviting. Last week, Judge Foster of the Monmouth county court sentenced one man to a year in the state prison for this offense, and on Tuesday last he sent another to the same place for three years for the same crime. In the second case the lawbreaker was particularly quarrelsome and danger ous, and the court gave him the full extent of the law.
 This habit is prevalent in quite a number of counties and heavy sen- tences everywhere mark the deter imitation to break 1t up. Viewing these cases, 1t is not likely that the culprits will on coming out of prison feel like resuming the hip-pocket pis- tol habit. It costs too much if caught

That Taft Portrait for Yale.

Yale will not have a portrait of President Taft If it depends upon the Marquise Cecilie de Wentworth of New York and Paris. This artist was com missioned to paint likeness of the president for Yale. Lee McClung of New Haven. the new treasurer of the United States, undertook to arrange the matter at the White house. He was unable to make any appointment for the Marquise de Wentworth, ac- cordfng to report. It was said that the president was too busy to give sit- tings to the marquise.
 According to gossip, the presidents refusal was due to a report that reached him some time ago of a mis- understanding between the marquise and Henry White, American ambassa- dor at Paris. In some way MT. White is said to have incurred the displeas ure of the artist, who Is reported to have criticised the ambassador with freedom which was very distasteful to him. White is said to have report ed the incident to Washington. and when the president heard about 1t he is reported to have declined MT. Me Clung's request made in behalf of his alma mater and. incidentally, of the Marquise de Washington Despatch to the Hartford Courant.

THE sHoRTNEss OF WATER,

Southern New England is today shorter of water than it has been within the memory of the oldest in hapitant
 There are farms in the suburbs of Norwich which have never gone dry in the memory of man that are Now without a drop of water, and the city hydrants are supplying water for horses and farm stock in various di- rections; and farmers are driving their cattle a long ways to water daily.
 This same condition of things ex- tends clear into western Massachu- setts, and. on December 1, several manufacturing plants at Springfield, Mass, including the United States arsenal, were obliged to suspend op- erations for the day, 5000 persons were thrown out of employment, and the water supply of 45.oo0 residents, or more than half of the city's popu- lation, was shut off as the result of the water famine. For several weeks the supply in the Ludlow reservoir has been diminishing, and on Decem- Der 1 there was not enough water in the reservoir to force it's way through the mains. Some few manufacturing establishments were able to keep in operation by utilizing the supply of water in the sprinkler tanks on the roofs of the buildings. Such supplies, however, would last only a few hours
 This compelled Springfield to con- meet their water mains with all the accessible ponds and Sakes outside the city, which Is expected to give a sufficient supply to tide over 1.non For winter to set in with such lack of water would be the most unfortunate event ever known to its history.

A fact which stands out caspicu- ously in the registrar generAs re- port is the excess of births over deaths in London, compared with the princi- pal capitals of Europe and other cen ters of dense population. The nat ural increase of population last quar- ter in London thousand living is 13.1. The nearest to this is New York, with 11.5. Berlin, Vienna and Brussels do not vary much, with 6.S. 6.1 and 6.2.
