way, how much time do ,rou think you
need for luneh?"
.Oh. yes, about lunch. I asked
mother just last evening what she
thought about that. She thought at
first it would be better for me to come
home at noon but then. you see. we
live so far out that It would hardly be
worth while for me to come back again
in the afternoon. So mother suggest
ed that I just go to Aunt Alice's at
noon-she lives out just a little way
and / could go there and get my lunch
all inside of an hour and a half or two
hours at most"
Il ought to be satisfied with that IL
you are" smiled Bronson, though
wouldn't want you to stay here in the
city at noon and get a meal that
wouldn't be up to the one you'd get at
home. OF course, you can get your
dinner at home in the evening. What
time do you want to start home Yin
the afternoon"
Yes. mother and 1 discussed that,
too" she said. Now, could leave
here as late as the o'clock train.
That would get me home at about
6.15. But then, you see, we always
have dinner at our house promptly at
6, and If left here at ] should get
home when the rest were half through
dinner Perhaps it would be better If
/ took the o'clock train. I'm sure
mother would rather have me start
them"
Il don't see why you should wait
until 81 declared Bronson. Lets see,
new" he went on, scratching his chin,
Il haven't arranged with you about
what days you would want to have off.
Oh, yes, while l think Of it, there is
just one thing in the way of my en-
ploying you, after all. Funny. but it's
going to cut a good deal of a figure,
too. I'm afraid. You see, the fact is.
YOU won't do. That's my only objec-
ton to you. 70 won't do. Outside
of that you're all right. but you can

A Matter az Political Deals.

Senator Bulkeley's picture of blunt
pess found expression in his explana-
ton of how the tariff is made UP. If
Connecticut wants votes for the pro-
lection of it's products it must protect
the products Of other sections to some
extent, regardless of their deserts. 1t
must vote for high duties on cottons
tc please Massachusetts, and for tax
eli hides to please parts of the west
of neither of which by itself does it
approve-in order to get support from
Massachusetts and the west for is
tobacco and its metal products. The
result is, of course, that a lot of stuff
gets protection that doesn't deserve it
or need it-and the consumer, for wh1m
no member of congress works or plots,
pays the bill.-Waterbury American.

QUA RIVERS NOT INVITING.

The catch of shad this year in Con-
necticut waters has been a little less
than that of a year ago and there is
no sign that the stocking of Connecti-
cut waters is helping the matter at
all. The fact is that shad, young or
old, cannot be made to seek and re-
turn to polluted waters, and as all
our streams are becoming less, pure
every year, the return of the shad is
inevitably smaller. A shad is a dis
eliminating fish, and while it may
dodge nets and traps and pounds and
other contrivances set to catch it, 1t
knows when the water into which
it swims is pure or polluted. and it
does not return to poisoned water
after it has once had experience Of it.
Bridgeport Standard.
The shad return to the rivers to
spawn, and the condition of the water
is fatal to the fry, and as the young
shad are the ones which return to the
fresh-water breeding grounds, the
number must diminish as the years
roll round. There has been a slight
increase in the catch shown some
years in consequence of stocking the
rivers, but polluted water is not in
viting to the fish and results in the
depletion of the fish. There are, no
doubt running in the Shetucket and
Thames rivers a few shad every year,
but they have not been seen in pay
ing quantities for about a quarter of
a century, and are never likely to be
again. Factory dyes and sewer poll
sons are not calculated to make shad-
breeding grounds of any use.

Inc Romance Of ouinine.

How many OF those VINO fully realize
the value OF quinine are familiar with
the pretty story connected with the
drug?
In the year 1888 Donna Ana, the
beautiful wife Of Don Luis Geronimo
Fernandez de Cabrera BobadiIla y
Mendoza, fourth count Of Chinchona
and governor Of the Spanish province
of Peru, lay sick and, it was feared,
dying of an intermittent fever in her
palace at Lima. Her physician, Juan
de Vega. was at his wits end. Her
husband was in despair, when the cor
regidor OF Loxa, a neighboring state,
sent to the former a small packet Of
powdered quinquina bark, which he
knew the Indians priced highly as a
tebrifuge.
The powder was administered to the
countess, with the happy result that
the fever left her, and complete cure
was effected
Two years later, in 1910, the much
named Count Of Chinchona and his
wife returned to Spain. and as the
Countess Ana brought with her a
quantity Of the healing bark the dis
tinction is claimed for her OF being the
drst person to introduce it into Europe.
Her physician, we are told, made a
large fortune by selling It In Seville
at 100 reals the pound. 1t was this
famous cure of the Countess Chin
chona that induced the great Swedish
botanist Linnaeus long atterward to
rename the whole genus OF quinine
yielding tree "cinchona" In her honor.
