What a weak hold has that woman
Of her husbands heart who ties him
only with a curl or a ribbon" wrote
steele a century or more ago; and the
weak hold has not disappeared from
family life. Family life under the
very best of circumstances is service
--self-denial and self-sacrifice. There
is nothing like faithfulness and devo-
ton to keep husband or wife happy
and true or children respectful and
obedient. Those who depend upon the
fluffy ruffles of life to satisfy them are
usually disappointed. Pleasure is not
the aim of life. but attainment. When
all duty is done pleasure is said to be
due. True pleasure is also found in
love. Those who mistake frivolities
for ties that bind soon find themselves
loosed. Too many mistake the shadow
for the substance.

enough to induce everyone 10 follow
our lead.
you can't teach your grandmother
how to pack ashes" is a homely old
adage that has to be kept in mind
when we try to produce uniformity
Of behavior on the part Of our fell
lows. 1t will be true for long time
to come that what is one mans meat
is another mans poison. We can in
struct, persuade and perhaps con-
vince our fellow men that there is a
certain point beyond which we ought
not to care to go in our invasion Of
the personal life. We want to give
our own personality full play to make
1t count for all 1t is worth, and we
should be equally eager to preserve
and put at the service of the world
every ounce Of individuality every man
possesses-not his original sin or his
inherited or chronic weakness; but
the finest and most peculiar traits of
his own personal spirit No man can
give anything better to the world than
himself.

If remember right, little pitchers
have always had big ears" and they
always will have. A Norwich father
learned the truth of this the other day
when his ten year old boy at the tea
table recently assured him Dad. I've
got to have barrels of money and Just
as soon as | get a little bigger I'm go
said pa, ''but why do you say barrels,
why not have a few bushels of it?'
That wouldn't do replied the lad,
for ma and Sue say. her beau has
barrels of it, and that all the girls are
setting their caps for him. If a fellow
wants all the girls to be setting their
caps for him they've got to have bar
rels of it," Il like your STYLE" said
Dad, "an1 you'll have all the politicians
after you, too! Go in to win" and the
lad is raising a big resolution before
he has raised a moustache.

The season Of the year IS approach
who has such a sensitive throat that
she does not dare to help her mother
wash the dishes for fear of catching
cold, will put her feet into open worked
hose and low shoes and meander on
swampy ground to find a few May
flowers for her beau" I suppose that
there are girls who do such inconsist-
ent things as this-who cover their
laziness with fear and uncover their
health for love-but they are not Nor
witch girls. for they are too sensible
and too Industrious and too thoughtful
of themselves and ma to sneak out Of
duty and tramp in a mudhole. These
must be down east girls who have in
herited threats that are more delicate
than their feet. This is sad story If
it is not a base insinuation

II was a working girl who said Be
cause one does stitching she need not
think stitching" and this is one way
of diverting the mind-of putting a
buffer between ones self and the ever
lasting grind. The mind should not
dwell upon its chores, but upon it's
ideals Many workers have been bless
ed by this discovery. The first day Of
work Hugh Miller found this out; and
twenty years later, that the upper
classes should not be permitted to get
ahead of the lower classes in intelli-
gence; that knowledge held classes at
bay-that it opened the door of oppor-
tunity-that it often makes men Of
humble birth superior to men of noble
birth. The mind is the comforter, and
wretchedness is the outcome of indo-
lence and vain ambition oftener than
anything else.

The MAN WHO lALAS

This is well saids Learn from your
mistakes, but don't cry over them.
We best redeem the past by forgetting
it." This was said for your benefit
and mine. Get grip on it, for by so
doing you get grip upon yourself.
What is life but a school of experience,
and all of us in soma direction have
met with Indifferent success; and there
we have found our disappolntments,
when we should have taken our cue.
Then we have looked back with regret
instead of forward In hope. We're a
lot of dull pupils at best; but we are
going to get there because the Supreme
has willed that we should. / do not
wonder that some people believe in the
trausrdgration of souls, or that the
Japanese think that 27 heavens are
necessary in which to school and per-
feet the soul Man goes slo~'-man
needs time to make him a wor, ny son
of God. DO not forget that those live
longest who live most and those live
best who forget self and live for othr-
ers.

"The late Edward T. Clapp said he
was the one who~first gave the name
Rose of New England to Norwich in
1859 when it was put upon the arch
and what reason is there to doubt his
word ?" inquiries J. Naples Standish Of
The Man Who Talks" No reason,
whatever Edward t. Clapp had the
taste and the ability and the poetic
feeling to originate the name. He
was a democrat who could keep the
staunchest republicans his friends
BY Jove! he knew a good thing when
he produced it as well as when he saw
it, and let this be a memorial of him.
The man who gave the name to Nor
witch gave 1t more than he realized and
more than we can ever thank him for.
II is passing strange that we have
such a poor opinion of "the under dog"
when without him for contrast the up
per dog would lose more than half his
glory. We are constantly being told
that everything is relative in this
world. even to relative truth. which
may appear to be truth today and be
proven to be false tomorrow. The
greatest architect depends on the delv-
er to strike the foundation for his
great edifices and we are prone to say
What does the deliver amount to?
There couldn't be great bridges and
skyscrapers without him. He gets but
$1.50 a day but his work is the most
important because 1t gives the secure
foundation. The. under dog gives lus-
ter to genius, don't you think that he
doesn't and we are all so interdepend-
ent that we cannot shine without some
contrasted light. The under dog is just
as important in his place as any one.

city and the adjacent country districts.
In Hamburg the names of the streets are
designated by order of the senate and the
proper signs are put in place by the mu-
nicipal building department.
AS rule. enameled signs are used. the
letters appearing in white on blue back

five inches high and the small letters
about three inches. and the whole width
of the sign about seven inches, the length
varying. On houses directly adjacent to
the street line the signs are attached TO

fifteen feet above the ground
In suburban districts, whore houses are
surrounded by gardens; on streets where
the corner houses are farther than ten
feet away from the street line. and on
streets without buildings the signs arc
affixed to painted wooden poles about
eleven feet high erected at the street cor
ners. One of the results of the interna-
tional conference OF automobile clubs
held last winter. was to advise ard
recommend the erection of danger sig

conventional figures conveying their own
meaning, regardless Of the language OF

As the European touring and motor
clubs are active in this work il will not
