CAPTAIN eRIDLEYs MONUMENT

It is more than probable that a
memorial tablet would have been
raised at Annapolis for Captain Grid
ley Of Manila bay fame had he not
had devoted mother to lead in the
work and to achieve the feat by her
own personal efforts.
Mrs. Gridley was thrown upon her
own resources for a maintenance, and
although she had long passed the al
lotted span of three-score years and
ten, she was earning her own living
in a trusted and responsible govern
ment position In Washington.
1t will be recalled that it was to
Captain Gridley that Admiral Dewey
gave the historic order on that May
morning eleven years ago in Manila
Day-"You may fire when you are
ready, Gridleyl" Captain Gridley was
not in good physical condition when
the war was over, and he soon yielded
his life to chronic disease.
1t has been well said that every
American mother will sympathize
and rejoice with her In the pleasure
she will experience when fitting
tribute is paid to the memory of her
son. who went from the Annapolis
classrooms to the water of Manila
bay. 1t is such mothers that have
given to America in her time Of need
such sons as Captain Gridley, sons
who were an honor to such mothers
and TO their country"

AGAINST the LONG VACATION.

AGtfNSi tFTE I0N1 ~H~NA t0tNs
1t is amusing to note that the New
Haven Palladium refers to "cne Allen
b. Lincoln of Windham" as "a newly
discovered reformist." 1t does not APP
pear to know that Mr.. Lincoln was
born an agitator and that he Is al
ways in favor of righting wrongs and
making crooked things straight. II
IL not surprising in this part OF the
state to hear Mr.. Lincoln asking such
questions as these:
why should teachers have so much
more vacation than the business man
or the manufacturer or employe? DO
the children themselves really need
such long relaxation. and are they
really benefited by it,"
The Palladium does not recognize
that Mr.. Lincoln is really in fashion,
and that the summer schools. which
have been kept for many years now.
are the form Of protest which the cit
les have set up against having the
children learn more evil in the streets
of the cities in three months than the
schools can eradicate in the other
nine.
The issue is not concerning the
teachers, but concerning the well be-
ing of the children. Under our school
laws the long vacation is compulsory.
but it would be good thing If a
way was provided in every city to give
the children special. mental and physi-
cal training in these weeks in sum-
mer when the children do not know
what to do and their parents do not
know what to do with them.
In the main, Allen b. Lincoln is new
er going very wide Of the mark.

SALAD.

The breakfast salad is unique In
novation, but a most acceptable one
in warm weather. II is quite different
from the dinner salad, being merely a
little appetizer of acid fruit or fresh
green things. II the breakfast is ratn-
er heavier than usuai-as It is likely
to be, for instance, on a Sunday-the
breakfast salad is especially attractive.
A few watercresses seasoned with salt
and pepper and moistened with vine
gar make a delicious breakfast appe-
tizer with broiled steak Delicate bleach
ed dandelion or endive. served with
bacon cut in dice and dressed with
salt, pepper and vinegar, Is equally ap-
propriake with broiled veal. Sliced
tomatoes, few lettuce leaves, or even
few cucunbers, served very cold, are
still other dishes Of the kind. Orange
rnarmalade or some bit of acid sweet
meat may occasionally take the place
of the green things as digester of the
heavier foods

INEXPENSIVE FILTER.

A perfect filter may be made very
inexpensive by taking a. good sized
flower pot, placing a piece of sponge
over the opening in bottom, then FILL
ing it about three fcurths its depth
with equal parts of clean sand and
charcoal which has been broken TO
pieces about the size of a pea. Then
place a piece Of white wool cloth over
top or flower pot large enough to hang
down some over its sides. Let water
run through once or twice to wash out
coal dust, and you will have a perfect
water filter Good results may be had
by placing two pieces of wood over top
of a granite kettle or stone jar and
placing filter on top, letting water run
into receptacle.

LUNCHEON.

One of the most difficult things
about giving smart little luncheon Is
the matter of the favors.
Old ones are so well known that they
are not acceptable.
To use original, unknown ones is
difficult.
But there are many simple favors
that prove most pleasing.
Bonbon boxes may be made In all
sorts of shapes and conceits.
There are the papier macfhe dogs
dachshunds, bulls, terrier, spaniels and
the whole dog fanily-that open and
disclose the dainty bonbons within.
Satin slippers, bridal bells, dolls,
canoes, autos and boats of papier
mache or crepe paper can be purchased
so fitted that satisfactory quantity
of bonbons can be snugly encased with
in them

BURLAP CURTAINS.


Ordinary burlap of the potato sack
and cotton bale, may be used with most
artistic and satisfying effect in the
home. Artists have realized this for
years in the decoration of their stu
dos. Burlap may be bought for 8
cents yard, and it comes in pleasing
colors The coarser the weave the
better. Curtains for doorways, book
shelves and the drapery curtains are
much added to by a bit of handiwork
in the form of hemstitching along the
top and bottom. Since the material is
coarse and loosely woven the threads
may be readily drawn. and the needle
work will be comparatively simple. The
openwork should be about an inch wide
on ti1ree-inch hem. 1t looks best US
ually when used on top and bottom. al

ner edge.

A sENsELEss FLING.

As broad as was the Norwich cele-
bration, it was characterized by one
streak of real narrowness, namely, the
peanut jealousy which arose over the
question as TO which city official
should ride with the president. The
honor finally fell not to the mayor nor
to one of the city's representatives,
but to Winslow Percy Williams, at
whose home the president was enter
tanned and who was chairman of one
of the leading committees of the cele-
bration. The next time President Taft
visits Norwich, someone should see to
1t that a hayrack is provided in order
that the whole ten Of the upper ten
may ride by his side.-The Ansonia

A HANDKERCHIEF BAG.

A handkerchief bag that makes a
pretty gift is made of two squares Of
Mexican drawnwork linen, lined with
lawn of any desired color and served
together on three sides. The top edges
are Ehirred on embroidery rings that
have been covered with ribbon to
match the lining. The rings that form
the handle Of the bag may be trimmed
with bows of ribbon.
Norwich bulletin., 1909-07-12

The Bulletin must confess that it
was surprised to see anything of this
sort in as reputable paper as The
Sentinel. There was no serious issue
of the matter stated above. President
Winslow Tracy Williams entertained
the president, and there was no ques-
ton as to his being, as president Of
the day the proper person to ride
with President Taft. There was no
issue about the upper ten or lower
ten. A lot of rot and drivel has been
imposed upon the press by irresponsi-
BILE, sensational cores pondents.
