Lecture on Mi'let - Out of Struggle Strength = Life in Paris-Assembly
 Dance-Manual of the Early Church.

A large and representative audience crowded the library last evening to listen to a lecture by Prof. John F. Weir, of Yale, upon Jean Francois Mil let. Tn introducing the speaker Judge Howard Curtis said he placed the care of the intellect and culture of the audi ence in the hand of the speaker. In
 beginning his address Prof. Weir said that no artist of recent times has com manded greater respect for his works owing to the fact of their truth. He then sketched the rise of art in France and said the great event of the 17ih century was the founding of the Aca- demy in Paris in 1648. But it's inf1u- ence came to be a intolerance since it taught that art should conform to cer-
 tain academic rules. It taught a theory instead of studying nature. As some one had said-"Art was tongue tied by
 authority The Academy stifled pro- gress by setting up forms. The next step was the founding of the Ecloe des Beaux Arts in 1793. and later the or ganization of the Institute with it's medals. etc. The classical school pre- vailed until 1924. as represented by David. Then came rOmanticisnl. or the revolt. in 1S4S. with the cry of Back to Nature!" There was a feeling for the familiar and the commonplace.

In the Indiana Senatorial contest, MT. Kern who was defeated by MT. Shively, attributes his defeat to the secret ballot which he says, made pos sible not only the betrayal of constit- uents by their representatives but also ''all sorts of treachery, double-deahng and corrupt practices" He says:
 have in mind several counties where the sentiment for my nonina- tion was practically unanimous, and that sentiment was well known to their representatives, and yet those repre- sentatives deliberately betrayed their people and voted for men who, in a primary, would not have received a handful of votes in these counties.
 Very much the same thing occurred in this State. Would 16 representa- tives of Fairfield county have dared to vote openly for Brandegee?

 People from other states are fast finding out the beauty and the advan- tages of Connecticut as a place in which to reside, and as fast as our good roads open up the highways to our hill towns, there follows a con- stant stream of immigration of a very desirable nature, who build luxurious summer homes and spend their money in our state.

reinforced by good roads, they exert compelling force. Most seekers of summer homes use the automobile and to them good roads are not merely de- sirable but even virtually necessary. Interior towns, located away from railroads and trolley lines, especially neeed good roads if they are to bid successfully for the favor of summer home seekers. With good roads and autos distance does not count, and the interior towns are really preferred.

SOME INSIDE HISTORY.

ad Senatorial contest would make mighty interesting reading" if 1t could be accurately had. One attempt to write it has already been made, eVl- dently inspired by some Anti-Hill man of Fairfield County who desired to Jus- tify his own position.
 Tn substance, 1t is that on the Chica- go trip when the Taft sentiment was very strong, it was decided to defeat Senator Brandegee, recognized as An ti-TafE for reelection if possible and to support MT. Brooker for the suc- cession. Sheriff Hawley learned Of 1t and promptly declared himself public ly for Brandegee. Then, MT. Brooker declined, 1t being understood that his official connection with the New Ha- ven road would damage his candidacy Next. the name of Ex-Gov. Mclean was suggested, but he declined be- cause Hartford County already had one Senator. Finally Mr. HiI's name was proposed, the motive being to re- move him from Senator Bulkeley's way in 1911. either by electing him now or by arousing such antagonisms as would defeat him two years hence. And Editor Clark of the Hartford Cou- rant is credited with having inspired this entire procedure.
 Parts of this alleged inside history are obviously true-for instance, the Rrooker candidacy and it's withdrawal, Sheriff Hawley's public pronounce ment, McLean's declination, and final - 0F Hill didacy, all of which are familiar to Farmer readers. The alleged agency of Editor Clark and his alleged mo- tive are the only new points. With them he can best deal, if he so choos- es. We hesitate to believe. that he is so devoted to the Bulkeley cause that he would deliberately plot to sacrifice thereto, the political future of such man as Mir. Hill
 In this locality, the principal inter- est is as to whether this alleged in side history absolves Sheriff Hawley and his followers from the character ization of traitors brought by the Norwalk Hour. What Editor Clark did or did not, or whatever his motive, is immaterial in this connection. 1t is said that Hawley held 16 votes for rrandegee; one-half of that number would have elected Hill. The Sheriff is therefore, to be accredited with Hills defeat, involving not only the loss of the Senatorship to Fairfield County, but also a gross affront to the manufacturing and commercial inter- ests of the State and, in fact, to 8 heavy preponderance of public senti- lnent It is 8 high eminence which Sheriff Hawley has achieved, the dis pensi:fas of U. S. Senatorships, but scarcely an enviable or politically prof itable one.
 Assuming that the motive attributed to Editor Clark is well founded, it nec- essarily follows that he will drop MT. Hill in, 1911 and support either Bulkeley or Mclean. Upon this point we pos sess no information whatever.
 Nor do we know that MT. Hill will be candidate in 1911, though it is cer- tain that there will be a popular de- mand for his election.
 Now, if there could be an inside his- tory from the other side, a. comparison of the two might reveal the real facts.

Will the General Assembly rearrange the Congressional districts, as should have been done long ago and thus cut out the necessity of electing one Con gressman-at-large? Or will it be de- cided, as heretofore, that such redis- tricting will be impossible without making at least one district out of the five Democratic? This is the turning point of the problem.

Speaker Banks committee assign nents meet with the usual favor and disfavor.

COMPTROLLER HAS PLAN FOR
PAYING TEACHERS.

New plans to pay the common
school teachers of the state has
been offered by Comptroller Will
liam A. Wright, as substitute for
the suggestion of Governor-elect
Brown for a bond issue. AS ls
known, Governor-elect Bro"n. in
bis speech at Elberton, advocated
the issue of 100000 worth Of
bonds, the money to be used to pay
the teachers. This would require
constitutional amendment, which
the Legislature would have to sub
NIT to the people. General Wright
has three plans in mind, but is not
committed to either. He simply
offers them for what they are
worth. His first snggestion is to
take the $4,000 which has al
ready been derived from the tax
on the manufacture and sale of
near beer, and set aside each year
any other money that may be de-
rived from the tax. In two or
three years time, at the remotest,
the state would be enabled to pay
all the Indebtedness to the teach
ers. Second, take the yearly in
crease in revenue derived from the
increase in tax values, which In
1907 amounted to $3.50, 1000, and
set aside the fund until sufficient
has been accumulated to accom-
plish the desired result. Third,
amend the constitution by author.
izing the Governor to borrow $780,
900 instead of limiting him to
5000, 900, as is now the case.

MAN WITH FAT WIFE
LIVING IN A STUMP
Builds CoZy Home for Wife
and Seven Children and
Refuses $4,000.

Seattle, Wash, June 15.-With
seven children and fat wife, John
Seivert, lately from Iowa, is living
in a stump in the northern part OF
this city.
Seivert came here several months
age. He had but little money,
and large family. Because of
the great boom here, he was unable
to find an empty house, and re-
solved to build one of his own :.
He bought an unimproved lot in
the northern part of the city, in a
district where Logging operations
ceased but year ago, and on 60
ing to plan his house, he found
hall the lot occupied by gigantic
cedar stump thirty feet high,
eighteen feet in diameter, and ten
feet above ground.
With all augur and saw Seivert
cut out a seven-foot section from
tho south end and walked into his
stump. The walls we're found to
be fifteen inches thick, and the
whole stump was a hollow she'll.
He cut out windows, laid a tight
floor and made ceiling of plank
ing and flooring.
With a ladder he cut another
door twelve feet above ground,
went inside and made the windows
for the second story. The third
story was constructed and a tight
roof of ship lap and shingles was
made over the top.
Seivert peeled off the bark and
painted the stump a light green
and the window and door frames
pure white. The whole makes
very pretty home at a cost of only
$40, and the owner has refused
50, 800 for his unique abode.

In New York it is against the
law for a man to appear on the
streets in skirts The other day
an alert policeman found man
in skirts in the fashionable part
of the city, and Immediately
jumped to the conclusion that the
fellow was incorporating, with no
good purpose in view. At the po-
lice station the victim explained
that he was an Egyptian, and was
merely wearing the manner of
dress that he had been accustomed
to all Of his life, and which his
forefathers had worn for thou
sands of years before him His
crime consisted in not conforming
to our customs as soon as he sci
foot on this soil. The magistrate
dismissed him with an apology, al
the same time suggesting that
maybe it would be a good idea fol
him to put ON trousers. What
would an American think of beinl
thus dealt with in Egypt?
