GOOSE QUILL PENS IN USE.
Prcsent-Day Writer'S Don't Know
Thep, But Some Use Nothing Else.

IL seems queer that. considering
the abundance, excellence, and espe-
cially the cheapness. OF steel pms,
anybody should prefer the old goose
quilts, 6ht there are some people who
do. They are mostly foreigners, Ro-
hemians, Hungarians and Russian
generally men well along in years,
who have been using quilts all thei,
lives and have an idea that writing
can hardly be done at all except
with a goose quill.
There is an old Russian. formerly a
'school-master. living on Wash street,
who makes pens for his countrymen
and mends them, too, for mending a
quill pen Is about as important and
essential as the making, as very few
people can write with a quill pen
more than an hour or two without
getting II out of order.
Every great work OF literature be-
fore the middle of the nineteenth
century was written with a gose quill.
The poetry of spences, Chaucer and
Milton, the plays o. Shakespeare. the
philosophy of Bacon--in fact, all til.
literature of every country in mod
ern times, all the music OF Handel
and Bach, Mozart and Haydn and
Beethoven. owes its existence to the
goose quill.
How the geniuses could express
their thoughts with such pens seems
uncomfortable to anyone who has
ever tried TO write with a:quill. On,
would suppose that the writer's at
tention would be so much taken up
with the pen that he would not have
room in his mind for anything but
objurgations at the necessity OF writ
ing with such a miserable implement
for IT drops the ink in great daubs
catches in the paper and spiatter'
and on the slightest provocatior
splits up the back and becomes use
less.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

hlSt team that made a point would
be declared the victor. In few min

first game which was scheduled be-

Atlanta's Welcome.
Atlanta's welcome to Taft began in
the railroad yards where all the loco
motives tied open their whistles and
ceased only when he had retired for
the night Thousands were at the
station. and thousands followed him
through thesstreets as he was drawn
by four horses to the capital. Cover
nor Smith and a committee of seventy
gave him formal reception, after
which the governor presented him to
the crowd, and Taft once more voiced
the reciprocity of cordiaIity and good
feeling at his reception. He was es-
corted by a squad of mounted police
to the chamber of commerce, and the
Ohio and Yale Alumni On his trip
here he made speeches at Thompson,
ICrawfordsville, Greensboro. Madison,
Social Circle and Decatur.
In his banquet speech Taft spoke
of the tolerance OF political opinion
now prevailing in the south. the presi-
dent-elect summarized the causes
which had worked and were effecting
this change-the Spanish war; the at
titude of Mckinley. his lovable char
acter and the principles he stood for
in HIS campaigns; the succession of
Roosevelt with his Georgia mother.
and finally the wonderful business de-
,velopment of the south. He pointed
out the advantage to the nation of
having a strong minority party. and
the advantage that would accrue to
the south in the existence OF a strong
minority party in the southern states
-an intelligent minority which may
become successful majority in the
punishment Of abuses that are likely
to grow out of a long continued and
undisputed control Of one party. He
spoke of the non-partisan character of
the greetings he had received during
the d. and OK the absence OF parti-
lsanship at the meeting.

but for the continuance Of the move

ance. its result is one that all citizens

joice to have brought about"
AS to the next administration and
its relations towards the south, he
said its work will "be more of crea-
ton and of construction" The south
Is as much interested in the revision
of the tariff as the north, and. he said
there would be IAN honest and genu-

ed by the party in power"

THE AGE OF AIRSHIPS

A short time ago a proposition was made by the proprietor of Paris hostelry to have an alighting place for aeroplanes upon the roof of his hotel. The pro- prieter of the Hotel Astor, New York, is considering doing the same thing with the roof of his hotel About 60,000 square feet are available for this purpose, and the supposition is that the aristocracy of New York and Paris will be dropping down from the clouds on the roofs of the big hotels and taking the elevator down to the dining room for luncheon. Verify the day of the aereonaut is at hand and already THE NEWS can see where it will be the heighth of vulgarity to be seen riding in mere automobile, and where high life will be high in more senses than one.

PURE MAPLE SYRUP

An investigation has been started by Dr. Harvey w. Wiley to determine how much of the alleged maple product is not the real thing. Whatever he finds is adulterated he will insist on having labelled f'part maple sugar" or "adul- terBted." If Dr. Wiley wants to learn what this pure article tastes and looks like he ought profit by visit to Canaan.
 The maple season has been partic- ularlY scccessful one in this vicinity and several tons of the delicious maple pro- duct has been the outcome. Anyone who has ever had an opportunity to compare the real maple product of the woods of Litchfield County, with the part maple, and small part at that, of commerce in the cities, will know what Dr. Wiley's investigation may mean to the consumer. It will also protect the producer of the genuine article from the competition of the adulterated maple syrup and sugar.

raised the seedless oranges very success fully. When he came East and the shad season was on, the idea occurred to him that he could benefit humanity by adopt ing much the same methods as were used in producing seedless oranges and by carefully selecting and propagation eventually produce boneless, or nearly boneless, shad. With this object in view MT. Dalmeier began a series of ex periments in the crossing of the shad with the jelly and after about eight years of patient work has at last suc- ceeded in getting-not a boneless shad but iellyfish full of bones.
 Thus do the fates conspire to rob Ltchfield County of the fame of pro ducing not only 8 boneless shad, but the peer of Luther Burbank as well.

THE BOARD OF TRADE

In numerous instances since it's or ganization the Canaan Board of Trade has demonstrated it's power for useful ness in the community. The board spells progress and prosperity for the village in more ways than one, and 1t Is the only organization which could do the work so effectively. Just at present the board is considering the vital question of taking steps towards securing proper fire protection for the district This agitation should serve double purpose. With the support of the people it should remove forever the sword of Damocles, in the shape of fire like that at Lenox, which now hangs over our heads, and it should further prove sustaining power for the Board of Trade. With no public question of this nature the body would naturally disintegrate to a certain extent and. unfortunately, this is what has happened during the past few months. But with this question up for considera- tion it will indeed be shortsighted citizen who shall not see the necessity of lending his presence and support to the board at this time. Whatever your views may be in the question now be- fore the board it is fitting that you should show your interest i'll your own and the common welfare by being present at the meeting Saturday.

HOT CRITICISM FOR LENOX
And it May We'll be Taken to Heart
 Here in Canaan

Here in Canaan
 The Lenox town officials are now re- ceiving sharp criticism, both at home and abroad, the fire district commission particularly. It is now claimed that for twenty years warnings have been gwen by insurance men, but no attention was paid to them, and the expected hap pened. When the fire occurred the fire hose was found to be rotten, the nozzles were too few and the general equipment inadequate, though at the close of the fire department year it had seven hundred dollars unexpendeG and doubtless prided itself on its economy. But to permit conditions which made such a fatal fire possible was worse than the lack of fire fighting apparatus. That was the climax of the towns disegarded responsibility. Boston Transcript.
 But there are few simple lessons taught by it, which may we'll be needed, not only by Lenox, but by other towns that are taking unwarranted risks in connection with the danger from fire. One IS that no town of any consequence can afford to be without reasonable pro- tection against the fire fiend, and, accord ing to the reports, Lenox was. The re- ports indicate that the fire department and it's equipment were not such as a town like Lenox should have. Another lesson is that combustibles and explosives stored in finder buildings partly occupied by tenants is a very dangerous thing It was this sort of combination, supple mented by an inadequate fire depart ment, that developed Lenox s horror and wrote one of the saddest chapters in the history of Berkshire county.
 Now is not the time to criticise and condemn, further than ts emphasize the lesson which this dreadful happening has taught. Reports are to the effect that the lesson will not need to be re- peated in Lenox, but other towns which are floating along i'll the same careless way may we'll take heed and provide themselves with reasonable protection before it is too late.-No. Adams Tran script.
