of popularity by standing out on
fillibustering plan, but there
really seems no need of a legis-
lative body dividing itself into
cliques and each clique becoming
a dog in it's own manger. The
people elect men to such offices
to serve them and they expect
service. If a farmer hires a
man he expects him to work. If
he employs two, he expects both
of them to work, and if they do
not he fires them. Unfortunately
there isn't any way to fire these
legislative idlers until their time
expires, but most of them should
have to hunt long time for an

CAR BARN PLOT GETS THICKER
 AS AUTHORITIES CONSULT

Awaiting the solution of a proposed plan to run electric car tracks be- heath the railroad station to tap the proposed new car barn the special committee will not have a report to make to the Common Council this ev- ening. The committee met Saturday afternoon in the office of the Mayor with Vice President Calvert Townley and Supt. c. H. Chapman, of the Con necticut Company. The second plan submitted by Engineer Horace G. Sco- field was not acceptable to the officers of the company. They said it pro- vided a single track for a good part of the distance and that any derail- a car from either getting in or out of the barn. They also found fault be- cause of the curves in it.
 The plan as devised by MT. Scofield provides a double track all the way with the exception of about 300 feet. At Golden Hill and Water streets con- nection is made with the main lines and the tracks run into the square plot of ground owned by the company, north of the McElroy building. At a point near the building the line di- verges to the west into Water street and passes the front of the McElroy building and crosses Gold street onto the land of the company beneath the tracks of the HouSatOnic railroad On the land of the company a. track is provided which extends along the SOutn eHO or the prOpOSeu pern dIio another which runs to the north end of the structure.
 Senator Manwaring suggested that MT. Scofield look over the ground at the railroad depot and see if cars could not be run beneath the railroad sta ton and into the barn through what is known as the south tunnel. The committee adjourned until Saturday afternoon to hear the report of the en- gineer.
 Judge A. B. Beers was present at the meeting representing McElroy Bros, and said his clients would certainly object to any tracks being run through the narrow street in front of their building.
 Mayor Lee reiterated his former statement that the best way out of the dilemma was for the railroad company to purchase the McElroy building.

Two Types of Biographical Writing.
 It is an interesting fact in the history of literary genres that two of the great examples of biographical writing occur almost side by side. Less than decade separates the completion of Johnson's ''Lives of the. Poets'' from the publica- ton of his own life by Boswell. Yet with the. latter book a new type of biography came into being. Johnson, i'll the main, had, like most of his pred ecessors, followed a simple narrative and eXpository method. prefixing a plain story of the poets life to a sys- tematic account of his character and a critical estimate of his works. He gathered his facts and impressions to- gether and spoke for the author and for himself. Boswell, on the other hand, making use of a more dramatic meth cd. succeeded in his attempt to let the author reveal himself. and, instead of an exposition of character, painted a picture of personality to which his own comments were subordinate. What we see as type of mind and character in Johnson's work we see as a living man in Boswell.-William T. Brewster in Forum.

Cohn. appeared at the meeting of the board Saturday night The junk dealers assert that the Salvation Army has three stores in the town en- gagged in the business which ehe junk dealers pay a license to carry on. The matter was referred to the city attor- ney for an opinion.

Grasping a knife in one hand and fork in the other, they slash away at the inoffensive green stuff with a vigor and a noise of miniature moving machine until the bruised leaves are converted into shreds of their former selves. There is common sense in the convention that prohibits such a course. Nearly all green salads are broken into pieces of convenient size before sending to the table. Even when these are too large the leaf should be quietly divided with fork.

Monkey. Have No Flea..

It is curious that monkeys should be thought to be infested with what nat uralists call the Pulex irritans and what ordinary people know as the flea. As every zoologist is aware, monkeys have neither feas nor any other para site whatsoever, in which of course they differ vastly from man. As a matter of fact, when monkeys begin to pick each other about in the friend ly way we have all observed they merely detach bits of hardened seba- ceous matter which has been excreted by the glands. and the flea idea is en- tirely fabulous.
