spent on farm, but OF late years Ev-
ansville has been his home.

THE DIVISION OF STATES.

The time will doubtless arrive when the great states of the union which have more counties than all the New England states, and some single counties containing. more than half as much territory, will find 1t to their advantage and the advantage of the country to create new states by divis- ion of their territory. Such move ment is on foot in California, now, but the time is not ripe for it and its success is not probable. The people of southern California desire to have a state of their own as a means of Tightening the burden of taxation, which they doubtless consider a way to increase the population and to ad- vance the interests of that part of the state California has territory enough to make a score of states big ger than Connecticut, but she has not the population to warrant at present the division of this long strip of the Pacific coast into two states of strength and responsibility. Atten- tion is called to the fact that Okla homa through the next census is like ly to show a greater number of resi- dents than California. although it is regarded as an infant state. The Callfornians who favor the division are fierce for it, but the consent of the entire people and of the congress of the United States is necessary be- fore it can be legally accomplished, and it is not likely that either can be obtained

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles. A Norwich Citizen
 Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their kidneys If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think 1t will soon correct itself. And so 1t is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Norwich people tes- tffy to permanent cures.
 D. J. Brown, Summer Street, Nor wich, Conn, says: The results that followed the use of Doan's Kidney Pills in my case were most satisfactory. l procured this remedy from N. D. Sevin & Sons drug store. and in view of my experience can heartily recommend it as an excellent preparation for toning up the kidneys and relieving all com plaints due to a disordered condition of these organs

THE DAWN OF THE CONCRETE
 AGE

Right in the dawn of the concrete age we find the bungalow to be the most popular summer house, with a likelihood that it may yet be accepted as a dependable all l-the-year- round town house.
 The adaptability of concrete to all forms of architecture, it's freproof qualities and the comfort and econ omy of houses made of it leaves no doubt that it will eventually outelass all other building material.
 It fits the bungalow period which is now upon us and promises to give per manenee to structures which hitherto have been regarded as attractive for their summerishness. It has been demonstrated that most of these attractive houses can be built at an outlay no greater than for the old style. severe, unornamented buildings. Persons Of moderate means can build them for all-the-year occupancy If necessary or desirable; while those of means can and do put all the money into them that they wish. Another
  thing of great importance is this: It is always possible and easy to sell a bungalow where the plain house will find no sale. Too many home builders construct houses that are in every way unattractive and lack style, and when they wish to sell there are no buy CTS. And why? Because the house is exactly like thousands and thousands of others; 1t lacks individuality.
 There is nothing about the concrete whichwill unfit it for the ornamentation which so becomes a bungalow and it is conceded that if building is de- signed ss an investment one built of concrete will be found to outelass all others, since 1t will retain the original value for centuries. while every other known form of construction will rap idly depreciate.
 Emphasis may be placed upon the freproof qualities of concrete con- struction by the fact that in the great recent conflagratlons in Baltimore and San Francisco, the concrete edifces were practically unharmed. In many cities and towns the cost of insur- ance of concrete building is extreme ly low, which, also, is an important factor. Comfort is found in the con- crete building, because the walls are warmer in winter and cooler in sum- mer, a very great consideration. while at the same time they are more san itary than structures built of any oth- CT material. Builders. everywhere, are satisfied on this point. and. also. upon the adaptability of concrete to any form of architecture. The ease with which concrete can be moulded to any form, and the various modes of con- struction, including the solid walls, the hollow wall, the concrete block and

IRE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
WITHIN THE LAW.

The fair young girl laid her lily hand tenderly upon the shoulders of the Broad street millionaire.
 Father" she said, there is some- thing on my mind that has been gnaw- ing at my heart for many weeks, something that I must tell you to- night"
 Dinner was over in the palatial home of the magnate. A log of nick orv burned in the grate and cast its flickering light itno the dark corners of the S135,000 library, Illuminating the gold lettering on the backs of the rare old books in full morocco binding, and throwing weird shadows on the wall from the statuettes, vases and other articles of virtu collected from all parts of the world at a great expense.
 What is it, my child ?'
 The financier spoke with a troubled voice For long time he had noticed with disfavor the frequent calls of the socialistic young curate, MT. Hicks, and his frown had deepened week by week as the influence of the young mans radical ideas became apparent in the speech and conduct of Patricia.
 No longer butterfly of fashion, she had gone in for settlement work She talked of orphans and recreation cen- ters, and at dinner this evening she had spoken of the Rights of Man in such a thrilled voice that her father had dropped his knife and broken a costly Haviland cup.
 Father" she said, seating herself on the arm of his leather chair, you have always been kind to me, and it seems ungrateful and undutiful of me to criticize you in any particular. But

I am a thinking woman now; can not help having opinions and 1t grieVes me more than words can express to see you doing things that my heart tells me are wrong and beneath you.
 The magnate thought of the last stock company that he had launched, and his face was grim as Patricia went on.
 T am not sensitive, father, but when I walk downtown with you and see the looks directed at you by the people who pass, and hear the whisp- CTS in the crowd arounl me, l suffer the keenest humiliation. My face burns with shame, and l long to turn into the back streets and slink nome unseen by the people of this city. It is not wholly pride. father, it is pity for you and sorrow that my own par ent should be so false to himself and to his position as a leader in the com nrunity."
 The m9gnate rose to his feet and sternly faced his daughter.
 You have no right to bother your head with these things" he said. "What a man does in the business world Is nothing to the women or his family Whatever people may say about me, l am always within the law"
 She clasped his arm lovingly.
 "Of course you are within the law, she cried 'sbut oh! father, people would have so much more respect for you if you would buy yourself fash ionabIe hat, such as other men in your station wear, and give that old gray felt thing to the ragman! n!-Newark News.

TAFT WILL NOT OUT ROOSEVELT
 ROOSEVELT.

The radicalism of the west over some of the alleged Roosevelt policies closely approaches fanaticism on ac- count of the irrational interpretation put upon them. The papers were not soothed by the speeches of President Taft, but charge him with being false to the policies of his predecessor to 6 point they declare of treason. In view of the situation, Taft felt obliged at Seattle to clearly define his posi- ton, and he told the people that as member of Roosevelt's cabinet he thought that his knowledge of his policies left no chance for him to mis- interpret them and that he should not carry them to the point which the radical republican factions who would out Roosevelt Roosevelt desired.
 "The Roosevelt policies were written into the republican plat form of 1908, to which MT. Taft stands pledged, and which he promptly pro- ceeded to carry out by calling an ex- tra session to revise the tariff. The other Roosevelt blanks are yet to be considered by congress, and so much remains to be done that Mir. Taft in a recent speech expressed a doubt that congress would be able at the coming session to pass all the measures to which the party had pledged the ad- ministration."
 This means that all new policies must be held in abeyance until this programme is carried out This is a loyal and orderly mode of procedure and it will find favor with all reason able citizens.

THE SUCCESSOR OF GOVERNOR
 JOHNSON,

Word comes from Minnesota that Governor Eberhart, the successor of the late Governor Johnson, is a man political methods and turns his back upon the old. He does not recognize machine manipulation or care for machine nomination. He is republi- can who declines to enter into the old political organization as its central star and promoter. He puts the well being of the state above the we'll being of any party, and he will be candi- date of the people, declines to make personal pledges, but stands for every reform Johnson stood for.
 When his home town-Mankato- was voting at a charter election for the adoption or rejection of the Des Moines or commission plan of munich pal government, T am for it abso- lutely," he said. "and sincerely hope ii will be adopted.
 The politicians saw in this his doom and this is what a Minnesota writer says of 1t:
 "That was before his declaration against partisanship in the governors office. It was his first statement. since entering office, of his ideas of political independence. When politicians read of it they smiled or laughed aloud and one said: That cooks his goose!' The republican party will never name him
  to succeed himself, said another. "A tactical blunder at the very start-off, many called it.
 This talk was in the capitol-in the governors reception room. There is no doubt that his friends hurried to the executive with the interesting in- formation. But the tall, thin man threw few state papers and an extra collar into a bag, hurried to the union station and took a train for Mankato-to cast h;s vote for the charter that would dtthrone the republican administration there and substitute what the governor called "a business form of government with centralized responsibility feI the proper performance of public trust And he did vote for It, hoping as he said, that Mankato would be the first city in the state to adopt the plan and believing that if it did other small cities would follow and that then the movement would reach St. Paul, Min neapolis and Duluth. The new charter was defeated in Mankato by twenty fur votes. The governor was very sorry about it and said so. Overconf- denee, he said. was the cause of the defeat. He was sure the charter would be brought before the people there agaiI before long"
 Eberhart is strong in his personality and is likely to carry the men of all parties with him in his independence He knows how to be right, but he does not know how to conform to machine methods and wear a partisan collar There is political crisis pending in Minnesota.
