ljfe's AdjustIno Power,

Life seems to have a sort of adjust
ing power. We always suffer one way
or another for the wrong We do. and
unquestionably We are always reward
ed for the good actions. There Is no
happiness in revenge, no Joy in hatred.
no inspiration in jealousy and mean
ness. 1t is when We have come to a
quiet understanding of the ill-effects
of our baser sentiments that We be-
come refined and grow into better.
more wholesome conditions. It is
usually the one who runs away from
the fight who is the stronger. Punish
ment will be meted out to your enemy;
it isn't for you to judge and convict.
All those matters are taken care Of
just how We do not know, and after
all, 1t does not matter.

SMILE AND BE HAPPY.
Good Advice.

At this season of the year you hear people make comment as to which Is the shortest day of the year. Some are not sure of the day. But it does not matter very much which 1t is. for the Earth means to have it9 way in doing things peculiar to itself. The days become short in due season. Then they begin all over again and in short time the longest day appears. So on in the makeup of the earth. But with us 1t is diff ferent. Our days are short at :he pest. We are here for only a little while and we should, in the time al- loted 10 US, do those things which will cause some one to say that the world is better for our having lived in it. We should do the things each day which give us pleasure and that bring cheerful thoughts to those we come in contact with, and not brood over the things you cannot control. But smile and be contented with your surroundings, and you will be best with sufficient of this worlds goods for your needs.-[E. A. Underhill.

A RENINISCENCE OF LINCOLN.
BY SHERMAN COGSWELL.

To the Editor or The Newtown
 Bee: When Iincoln Geilvered his Cooper Institute speech in New York
 by request he repeated it at New Haven and Meriden. 1 was then em- ployed as assistant farmer and teach CT of music at the Institution then known as the State Reform School at Meriden. When Lincoln entered the Town hall the meeting Lad been called to order and Judge Brooks had been appointed chairman. 1 remem- Der well the smile that was noticed over the audience when tall Abraham Lincoln was escorted iE by Orviile H. Platt and introduced to the chairman a inar hardly five feet in height. When Lincoln began his speech, his arms seemed to be in the way, but he soon forgot that he had any arms and delivered one of the most telling speeches against slavery I ever heard. He had the faculty of using language that a child could understand. His power to demonstrate was the subject of much comment in the daily papers the next day. After he made his arguments he had a story to tell ta

clinch it. Directly in front of the speaker stood a man in the crowded aisle, mouth wide open, swallowing every word. He attracted the atten- tion of the audience and as MT Lin- coin, as it seemed, dropped his words into the mans mouth his laughter at the stories was taken up and repeated by the throng. After Mir Lincoln's nomination a Wide-Awake Glee club was formed and 1 had the honor of being chosen as leader. We marched and hurrahed and sang:
 Republicans rally, our Union defend,
 Vivla honest Ahc,
 Then up boys, Wide-Awakes, rally Wide-Awakes,
 One, two, three, hip, hip, hurrah, Vivla honest Abe.
 Another song which was composed by a member of the cluD give: Rejoice, rejoice, the promised time is coming,
 From east to west, from north tc south,
 Abe Lincoln's names iI every mouth For Lincoln he will bring relief, So freemen rally round your chief, Rejoice, rejoice, the Nation shall bt | free.
 Little did we think that tht prophecy contained in that song woud be fulfilled. The war came or and the slaves were freed. It is { pleasure to me to think that did my little part though small it seemed then. Only three members of tht Glee club are now living, Prof L. P

CONFUSION OF MAccxeEEs

There are Maccabees and Maccabees and they are all good people, but they don't like to be confounded with each other The Knights of the Macca1. bees are going to give ball Christmas night, but in their advertising they have not stated whether they are Knights or Ladies. The Ladies of the Maccabees are preparing to give a ball -one week later, or New Year s night they are all wrought up through fear that the undiscerning public will be inveigled into attending the ball on Christmas night, thinking they are going to the function under the auspices of the ladies. This Is not through any lack of appreciation of the knights by the ladies, nor does it imply that the knights are not all that they ought 10 be. It is merely business. jealous guarding of the possible box office receipts, as they are two separ- ate organizations The ladies all ex- pect to attend the ball given by the knights and hope the knights will att tend their ball, but the rank outsider who only has money enough to buy one ball ticket and wants to spend it with the Ladies of the Maccabees. ought not to have his cash diverted to guilty silence The knight and ladies love each other, but both have their eyes on the main chance.
 BE PATIENT-The people of Phoe-. nix whose rushing business at this season demands the service of truck xx,fll lxr have to be patient. The local con- cerns are deluged with business the last ,few days and probably will be the rest of the week. They are be- hind in their orders and can't catch up. The truth is they pass by the offices of the Humane society in fear and trembling all the time. for they feel in their own guilty. consciences that they are working their stock too hard, but the people demand the service and horses and men are all willing to the fullest limit. The re- cent rains make the roads very heavy, which also delays traffic and makes added labor for the horses, and less is accomplished in day The trans fer men therefore ask for lenient criticism for a day or so. If they don't get the trunk or the box moved on time, there's good reason for 1t. and they are doing the best they can. Yesterday one horse dropped dead 4ff the harness. possibly from oyerwork The day before Wells Fargo horse fell in the harness and was very sick for little while. The drivers do not mean to be cruel, but what was an easy load a few days ago is a very heavy one on boggy street, and sometimes drivers as well as other people err in judgment.
