And so the months and months

And he gave up in despair;

For he'd searched most every

But at a ball one winters night
A bride and groom were there,
Our bear was grieved to see the
bride
Was his dear lady fair.
His faulty mind had caused his

And it served him right, you

For a bear that can't remember

Won't a good husband be.

Napoleon "a Nice Man"

From Putnam's Magazine
There is an old man at Yonkers.
n. V, who claims to be one hundred and
seven, and to have known, when he was
a boy at Berwick, Scotland, man of
one hundred and twenty-five. In his
youth he ran away to sea, and at one
time put into port at ST Helena. where
he and two OF his mates got leave to go
ashore.
After while four men came riding
along, three in uniform and one, a nice
looking little fat man, in broad felt hat
and ordinary clothes-but he wore his
gray overcoat. He was Napoleon. They
all stopped near us and looked out to sea
for while. He looked like nice man.
If the emperor were alive today Alex
ander Herriott would undoubtedly get
the ribbon of the Legion of Honor, for
saying that the great devastator looked
like nice man!

THE Indian tribe called the Pequots. who at

powerful Indian tribe OF all New England In
dams. From the very beginning Of the early
settlements they had murdered good many
Of the scattered white settlers, who In the
pursuit of happiness and their general welfare
lived in small huts. In the spring of 1857 the
Pequot Indians. who had become unbearabe
and treacherGus, threatened TO destroy all the
homes of the white settlers. and resolved to
make The people OF Hartford, Wether-
field and Windsor contributed ninety armed men,
who led by Capt. John Mason. and with a
few of the friendly tribe-the Niche gians-and
some Of the soldiers from the colony OF MasSa
chusetts they undertook to wage this be-
tween the white settlers and the Pequot In
dams. This small force of colonists. soldiers
and friendly Mohegian Indians marched against
the Pequot Indians, who had settled Il small
village near where Mystic then stood; they had
and protection. These small villages and forts
were secretly set on fire by the white settlers,
and by doing nearly all of the Peqnot tribe
was driven out of the wigwams and during the
confusion most Of the Pequots shot
burned to death Six hundred men women and
children, who were encamped in their wgwhlns,
persisted. mostly by the fiarnss. the result being
that in a few months the cOlonists had prGcti-
cally destroyed all of the Pequot tribe OF In
dams but the who survived made
slaves by their captors. This was a pract-
cal one--fOr the peace Of the colonists was
stored for long time to come.

AIR WAR

VII HILE we agree with all that is
! w being said as to the momentous
" Importance of the successful
flight across the English channel,
| and while it is another proof Of the ne
cessity of "brotherhooding" mankind
before a misuse of the achievements
of science shall have destroyed civiliza-
ton and plunged human society back
into darkness, to begin all over again,
we think common sense demands a
slight alteration of the point OF view
taken by most of our contemporaries
as to the possible consequences of air
navigation to the United Kingdom.
II we must look at air navigation
from the military point of view-al-
though no human being under the sun
can give really GOOD reason why
the airship should not be considered
harbinger of universal peace rather
than of war-then let us be sensible,
and remember there are two sides to
every question. There is an old, old
schoolboy story which fits the case.
Young Jones says to young Smith
describing a new variety of punch
II would take you like this-and rush
you so-and then-biff-!" "Yes?" says
young Smith, land what would I be
doing all this timer"
Already a handsome prize is offered
to the first British aeronaut to cross
the channel in a British built aero
plane, IN RECORD TIME. The pro-
viso attached to the reward is sig
nlfcant.
Considering the tremendous engi-
neerlng potentialities of nation that
turns out several battleships while
most of the European nations are
thinking of constructing one-engineer-
ing potentalities which have received
a stimulus rather than a setback by
the shipbuildlng activities of Germany
we may expect the engineering genius
that is now chiefly devoted to battle
ship construction to be concentrated on
airship construction, and unless the
once-hardy Britons and ingenious
Irish are "aIl in"-unless fate is really
turning over the last leaf of the last
volume in the wonderful career of the
two little islands which have held
mighty Europe at bay for a thousand
years-we may expect soon to read of
the terrorization of the continent by
the thought the air fleets of the Unit
ed Kingdom may "clean out the high
skies as the war fleets of the United
Kingdom CLEANED out" the high seas.
It is deplorable that it should be
possible TO write in this vein. If war
thoughts are entertained and encour-
aged in connection with aerial naYiga-
ton. then. not the independence or
Britain, but the permanence of civil
cation, is menaced.

STEAMSHIP SERVICE

II RESIDENT FINLEY of the South
ern railway, who is conducting a
4 campaign of education in order to
make the public appreciate the impor-
lance of direct and regular steamship
connection between south Atlantic and
gulf ports and South American points,
says a considerable proportion of the
exports from the United States to the
east coast of South America south of
Para, Brazil, go from New York across
the Atlantic to Europe and then back
across the Atlantic to South America.
He thinks there should be improved
steamship service. OF equal impor-
lance to the United States with the
Improvement of Atlantic and gulf
steamship service is improvement Of
Pacific steamship service.
A governmental line Of steamships on
the Pacific operated in connection with
a transisthmian railroad and acting in
connection with a governmental steam
ship line on the Atlantic would give
this coast, before the completion of
the Panama canal, the advantage of a
water freight to eastern points and
would give railway rate makers the
effect of a waterway competition
which would help regulate tolls and
tariffs and prevent gouging.

SUPERVISORS DUTY

~ UPERV1SOR PRIDHAM used th'
language of common sense wheT
~ he advised the supervisors to face
the advisory committee matter like
honorable men. OF course, the super
visors will not be "stultifying them
selves" If they consult with the advis-
DRY committee but they may stand a
good chance of stultifying themselves if
they fail to consult with it Mr.. Prid-
ham made the statement that but for
the agreement of the board to act with
the advisory committee there might
have been a majority against the
bonds.
Outside of all might have beens, -
or conjectures as to the result of sub
hitting to the public without any
pledges, promises or guarantees, the
question of a bond issue, the fact re
mains such pledges and promises and
guarantees were given. The question
involved can be stated in most simple
terms. 1t is one of right or wrong.
Are the supervisors to keep faith with
the public? That is the sum of the
whole matter.
The advisory committee represents
the public; not the official public, but
the big, -offlce-holding public, which
voted the bonds. Voters thought Il
would be wise if they could be repre-
sented specially during the expenditure
of a big sum of money for which they
are responsible, for work ordered by
them and done for them. There is nC
reason why public opinion as to safe
guarding the good roads bonds issue
should be changed, and there is no in
dication it has been changed. Members
OF the highway commission were APP
pointed in violation of the supervisors
pledge. For this violation no good ex
cuse has been offered.
