Where did you move to on May 1 ?" asked Schockery of his friend Burns. as they met on the downtown corner.
 T haven't moved yet" replied Burns. I've got to go somewhere soon, for the owner of the building where I live is only waiting to get rid of me before pulling 1t down."
 Tt ought to be easy to find another place to live" said Schockery. You have a husky salary, so you don't mind the price"
 T also have husky bunch of kids" :" said Burns, land on that account l can't get a flat at any price. My wife and l have been all over the city in the last two months and not place can we find fit to live in with our family
 Its a pity the place you're in is go- ing to be pulled down." said Schockery. You've lived there a. long time"
 Fifteen years" answered Burns. "The landlord let us come there be- cause we had only one child. He hadn't had the moral courage to drive us out since. but think that he's tear ing the house down off purpose to get rid of us.

THE EAST WIND.

The open sea and an east wind are midsummer blessings all desire and which only comparatively few enjoy. This is what called Taft to Beverly what prompted him to pass Jersey and Connecticut in seeking summer home for bis family. It is proclaimed at Boston that the east wind is physi- elan in ordinary to all the millions within it's cooling and caressing inf1u- ence. A Boston writer says "A sum- mer night with an east wind chant ing its sea song below and aloft be- meath the softened stars, is one of the loveliest things that Boston has to boast. This blessing comes heralded with the most delicious appeal to all the senses, and especially to the sense of smell. for it bears upon its bosom that health -connoting odor of the un- contaminate sea which man with all his ships has not been able to tame or to soil It is the Beverly Farms, the Mount Desert, the Cape Cod of the crowded thousands who summer in town.
 "Boston's east wind is not only the chief physician of the town, it's un- paid and ever watchful board of health but also it's most effective atmospheric decorator. The aesthetic value of the east wind in such climate as Bos- tons cannot be overestimated. It Is the east wind that brings to the skies of Boston those pellucid, pearly grays through which the sun almost breaks in thin places. This skyey aspect Is commoner here than elsewhere. It has an April quality, but 1t may come at almost any season, and is not un- common even between mid February and the end of May.
 AS a colorist the east wind exhibits its skill in the almost unmatched sun- sets of the Boston suburbs"
 And the east wind of Boston is the east wind of the North shore, and it there gives pearly skies and brilliant sunsets and beautiful landscapes and vigorous health. It was the call of the east wind that took Taft to Bever- "

AN ANNIVERSARY FEATURE.

Springfield, Mass, is booked to eel ebrate the 57th anniversary of it's in corporation as a city this month and a feature of the event is the exploita- tion of her achievements in the field of industry. To this committees were formed to get all manufacturers. wholesalers, and retailers to make an effort to call attention to their prod ucts. The retailers were asked to have anniversary sales of Springfield prod ucts, to advertise especially the Springfield products which they sell, and to give prominence on their count CTS and in their windows to Springfield made goods. The manufacturers were asked to help along the anniversary by making sure that retailers hand ling their products were well supplied. The advertising committee of the board of trade will furnish placards, upon which will be printed, Spring field product" These are intended to be conspicuously placed on goods made in the city and its suburbs.
 Springfield, in the heighth of it's pleasure, does not mean to lose sight of it's business interests. A city or towns business interests are a good thing to be kept nrst all the time be-

MILL BUILDING IN NEW ENe-
 LAND.

It is now more than a quarter of century since cotton manufacture was begun at the south and 1t was pre- dicted that the death knell of the cot ton industry in the north had been struck, but cotton spinning and weav- inr here is as prosperous as ever, and the faith of our capitalists in the fu- ture of the business is shown by the mM building now in the works.
 Discussing this subject, the United States Investor says:
 That there is confidence in the future is splendidly demonstrated by a visit to Lawrence, first, where the largest development Is under way. and where President Wood is putting up the largest worsted yarn mill in the world; where the great Pacific mills are expending large sums of money in enlarging and re-equipping; where the Everett mills are putting up new buildings and equipment; where the Arlington is about to break ground for e new yarn mill, and where the Allan tic cotton mills are putting in new equipment in liberal way.
 "Then go up to Manchester. and there the Amoskeag is putting up, sim ply as one unit to their big property, a set of mills equal to two or three medium sized mills of the Fall River and New Bedford standard. Over at Lewiston, Me. the Hill Manufacturing company is enlarging by some 240, ,000 spindles, and plans are being made for a new mill and some important changes are about due that will in- a textile map very substantially. At New Bedford ground is broken for two standard mills, the Dartmouth en- largement equals another new mill, and plans are being worked out for still another fine goods plant, and we expect this will be ready for ma ohinery before snow flies next winter.
 At Fall River, all the new mills have not yet been announced, but two at least will be built before the close of 1910. The Davis mills development about doubles the capacity of that property, and there are few, if any, Fall River mills not engaged in new construction and replacement of old equipment with that of the latest pat tern. There Is a well directed move- ment to get new enterprises to locate in Rhode Island, and at Providence, Pawtucket. Woonsocket, particularly. there are large new constructions and Fe-equipment. A new cotton mill is to be put up at Manvills in that state, and there is little doubt that Woon- socket will get one or two new French concerns before the close of 1910. The French Spinning company in that city Is practically doubling it's plant, &C., cording to agreement. and the other spinning mills on the French system are eniarging more or less all the time At 6 conservative estimate. Ss5, 900 900 win be expended in new mills and equipment and in replacement of old equipment, during the next twelve months"
 There is no weakness-no lack of faith here. There is no competition south which can affect the fine cotton goods of New England, simply be- cause we have the atnosp sphere in which spinning can best be done. The attempt to create artificial conditions 10 meet the requirements has failed, and New England stands first for the best goods woven in America

What He Got for Hoeina Potatoes.

Now I want to speak foE a few mo- ments on the subject of lumber and in relation to the tariff. The present tar if on common lumber is $2 per thou sand feet. If this Payne bill in its present form shall become a law 1t will reduce the tariff on common lumber from $2 to $1 per thousand feet.
 The other day when I objected to this reduction the gentleman from New York (Mr. Payne) said with evident feeling that I would better accept that reduction or lumber might go on the free list entirely.
 That reminds me of an incident that happened in the good old state of Iowa a good many years ago:
 On @. very hot summer day there was a small boy hoeing potatoes in a farm lot near the roadside. A very fine, magnificent looking gentleman rode by in a covered buggy with soft cushions. He looked over the fence at the boy, who was persplring freely and said: "Bub, what do you get for hoeing these potatoes"
 And the boy said: T get nothin' if I do-and hell if I don't" Daughter.)
 Well, MT. Chairman, 1t seems to me that that incident presents very graphic picture of the mental attitude of my friends from New York in ref erence to the lumber schedule. He pro- poses to give me nothing if I submit and something worse if dont.-From Talk in the Senate.

A BIG INFANT INDUSTRY,

The moving picture business is a most phenomenal industry. There Is S50000 900 invested in the business; there are 1000 places of exhibition; the films shown daily measure 19O miles, and the daily attendance is 40O0,OOO persons.
 At the average rate of speed four teen separate pictures pass the eye every second that the machine is in motion, so that every day making of these films is in itself an enormous business. The organization which con- tIols them not only has agents photo graphing scenes in every part of the world, but maintains theaters and out of-door establishments, where com plete plays and all sorts of other ac- tivities are presented before the cam era.
 It is the poor mans recreation and the delight of Young America. It is young and crude still and it is rec ognized that depictions of train rob- berries, kidnappings, and arson, drunk enness, assaults and murders, have anything but salutary effect upon the minds of spectators, especially in the case of youthful persons who at tend moving picture performances in great numbers, and efforts are being made to make them better-to make them beneficial instead of soul har- rowing and harmful. Nine of the larg- est concerns in the United States and Europe recently combined. They now censor all films and say they will ef- face the vicious features of the busi ness. This is what will have to be done all along the line. There are too many fake films and too few great films. May the time come when great pictures and pure humor will com nlateIv fill the hill

The time to plant dahias seems to be when the spirit moves. Some plant CTS have had roots in the ground for a fortnight or more. and others will not have them all planted before the middle of July The dahlia is not hot wealth CT hower-it does its best when the nights are cool. The premium taking exhibitors do not plant till June, and where they make a business of it and have from 10 to 35 acres. it is some times near August 1st when the last roots are put in the ground. From planting roots to flower is about six weeks. and sometimes from seed to flower Is no longer than that. Those who desire good blooms about the first of August can plant any time from now on.

People have their favorite flowers, and why should they not have their favorite birds? Most of the time think that the wood pee-wee is my favorite bird. When l was boy used to like to hear its musical call with the em- phasis upon the pee I used to climb over the rocks in an old quarry, three sides of which were rough and rocky and high up on those rough walls Of stone those small birds built their nests: and I used to admire their lit- tie white eggs which I used to risk life and limb to view. I do not remember that I ever robbed one of their nests And once, later in life, when I was in a fever and had been taking quinine I heard In my delirium the wind bowling through the forest trees and the note of this one little bird often epeated-pee-wee It was a joyful and soothing sound to me. for I had rot heard one for many years. l can not forget it. for 1t is pleasant sound.

trust in him on his acting just as you want him to act.
 From the point of view of strict jus . tice, there Is just enough ground in almost every grievance to make 1t easy to cherish if, provided one is so dis posed. None of us likes to be injured by any one else. Something within us smarts under the blow and we say: This is not fair" But does that jus tify the fostering of this sense of be- ing untustly treated? The best thing to do with a grievance is to bury it out of sight, to stif1e it before it is fully born, for, depend upon it.. the nurtur- ing of it will magnify the original of fense far beyond its due proportions and make your own life thereafter all the weaker and more unhappy.

Think, when disposed to cherish a grievance. whether there may be no enc else in the world wh1 hAs occasion to feel resentment toward you. Have you been so considerate, go absolutely your fellow men that no one has any occasion to feel sore or wounded with respect to you?
 Life ought to be full of confident trust in God, even though we cannot explain all his dealings with us and our fellow men, and life ought to be so full of loving service for those about us that we shall have neither time nor disposition to cultivate any sense of being injured by others. Let it smart If 1t will, for a moment. then bury it forever.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
THE MAN WITH A GRIEVANCE.

About the worst thing that man can nurture within his breast IS grievance; but it is one of the easiest things to foster Weeds grow faster tEan flowers, and evil tendencies with in us often outstrip the good. A grievance grows like a snowfall when the snow Is damp. It begins as little pinprick of resentment arising from real or fancied injury. It ends as a mountain which shuts out aview the smiling landscapes beyond 1t. Nur- tllre this viper long enough and you will even suspect your closest friends, think and talk of nothing else, lose sleep that was meant to refresh you, become sour, and finally end up in the madhouse.
 Not that everybody who allows a grievance to grow within them comes to this deplorable end; but he cannot help being warped in his judgment and made less pleasant to live with and less capable of doing well his part of inc worlds work. Here is a man who has a grievance against some organ ization with which he was once con- nected. Possibly it may be the Christ ian church He thinks that he has heen unjustly treated or overlooked or altogether ignored; henceforth he will not give a cent to the support of the institution or favor 1t with his pres ence. He looks upon those still loyal to it as misguided hypoerites. Nurs- ing his grievance day by day he pulls further and further away from an in- stitution of which he was once fairly fond. and all because Of some perhaps minor slight of bygone days.

] cannot imagine what the moving picture show expects to reap from poorly taken and poorly shown pictures of old Norwich. Among a lot shown recently, alleged to have been taken about 1870, was one of the Park Con- gregational church. when as a matter of fact ground was not broken for this church until after the spring of 1873. There are a few old churches in Nor wich, but the Park church is not one of them. The pictures are not explain ed and some of them mystify old resi- dents, for they are certainly unidenti- fable. The moving pictures are the drawing card. and pity it is that so many of them are representative of crime and domestic horrors.

How do you suppose that robin redbreast ever became a mortar and cement worker Science tells us that all of our birds evoluted from reptiles. and a real expert scientist might ac- count for it by saying that the robin knew the qualities of clayey mud be- fore it had feathers but do not know about that. The swallows and the pee wees are cement workers, too. Proba- bly, they learned their trade where the vireo and the sparrow learned to weave together grasses and strings and horse hairs into neat nests.

Grievances against other individuals ernbitter life for not few persons. A disagreement, perhaps, on non- essen tIals led to misunderstanding, harsh words and permanent arrangement, and now when Smith thinks of Jones he does not remember Jones' many ex- ceIlent qualities, his generosity, his hospitality his friendliness. but simp- ly that one unfortunate episode when he and Jones grew warm under the collar, perhaps shook their fists in each others face and went away sworn enemies.
 Grievances against men are bad enough, but when cherished against God they shadow and narrow the life cherishing them. God has done some thing or permitted something to be done that you cannot understand. It has been a hard experience and the first impulse Is to deny the existence of a Father in heaven, or, if adrittinE it. to VOW that you will have nothing more to do with such a God who can let such things happen to you. You condition your belief in him and your
