grees The nights are cool, so one can sleep finely. The days are not hot; there is a good breeze. We are about twenty miles from the ocean.
 I have three rooms and a great many foliage shrubs set out since coming in October. We have a nice garden from which we picked peas for dinner, also tomatoes, and we arc having string beans, cucunhers, beet greens and tur- nips. We can raise everything we do at the north and many things that cannot be raised there. We had sweet potatoes and peanuts waiting to be dug when we came down this fall and are still having them. There Is a bush tho fruit of which tastes very much like cranberries when cooked. and another fruit like blueberries. Today I picked enough to make two pies. I also make dunlplings of the berries.
 The country around here Is not quite level, but a little rolling: to the north of us are mountains like those we see In Blandford, Mass. All the houses here are like seaside cottages and peo- way 1t seems. I have a young parrot and am teaching 1t to talk. It mocl5s the hens, calls it's name ''Coxtireta, and says "Helloi" We make a pet of 1t. I intend to take it home in April. We have some flies, a few mosquitoes. I haven't seen a snake, have seen some of the poison spiders, scorpions and centipedes, but do nat often see them.
 There Is a, Ladies &uh which meets every two weeks at different homes. There are twenty or thirty out each time. At Thanksgiving they held an open club nt the town hall and invited every American in the town. Twelve turkeys were roasted, fine dinner and a pleasant time for all Christmas and New Years were celebrated. H. c. E.

CONFIRMING WITH THE PEOPLE

Little Joe Brown" the governor elect of Georgia, has introduced some- thing new in the way Of politics in that state and surprising the press as well as the people. The Atlanta Con- stitution, commenting upon this new political fashion says:
 ''The Idea of candidates going to the people after they have given him that for which he asked, and when there is no question of vote- getting involved, in order to find out what they want and to be in better position Go give it to them. is as novel and in- teresting as 1t is proving gratifying, even to those who voted the other way.
 "But the plan and method are char acteristic of Joe Brown. The proceed ura Is indicative of the character and determination of the man.
 Gall 1t politics if you will; it is nevertheless, new and original kind of politics-one that makes for the advancement and upbuilding of the state. It Is practical politics from the standpoint of the people, not from that Of individual ambition.
 By 1t we may gather something of what may be expected from the gov

nor-elect when he goes into the ex- ecutive office
 "A knowledge of conditions will prove invaluable to the executive de- ternined to meet them as the people wish and expect they shall be met.
 And Joe Brown has given evidence of the fact that such is his policy and purpose.'
 Governor Brown is not standing in with the political machine or friendly partisan admirers, but Is going right to the yfountainhead to find out what the people expect of him. He is all ready showing signs of being first class governor.

Perhaps it was necessary that the man of no genius or habits of indusCry should have a brazen face. The habit ual loafer and beggar appears to be unacquainted with shame-to be a complete stranger to modesty. He feels that he doesn't need any manners, and it is not necessary for him to be civil. He is vulgar in appearance, boorish in his address and careless of the opinion of others. He seems to realize that he and the skunk are always in bad odor, and that decent people are willing to pay a little something to be rid of his presence. He salutes you familiarity, makes his claim like a recently resur- recteo heir, and takes a rebuff as a matter Of course. No one can tell why he Is what he is. He isn't an accident --he ccrnes nearer to being a selfImade vagrant Sometimes he carries a coun- terfeit B1lll11in smile. but he never be- longs to the Billil1in class-he really belongs in jail.

THE MAN WHO IALES


Notwithstanding that the scriptures say that +all nations are of one blood, and that is the Christian doctrine, the old pagan idea of 'Nblue-biood" Is not only recognized but entertained oy Christian people. Two Hundred years before Christ Jervenal was writing about the blue e-blooded-the patricians
 in pagan Rome; and the thought IS so fattering to humanity it clings to 1t s if it was truth instead of false- hood. It is food and raiment and training which makes. the differences in individuals, classes and tribes that we note and attribute to the blood. Blood tells," we shout; and It tells Of under nourishment and neglect just as much as it tells of attention, culture and achievement. The blood is of It. tie consequence so long as the spirit is right; but the spirit which brides itself upon this old pagan material distinction never was and never can be the Christian spirit

"Love me, love my dog" is homeIy

"Love me, love my dog," is homeIy old sayirg put in most selfish form. A person really imbued with love, the love the divine law talks about, loves all the creatures God has made. God made all things in iove, and saw that they were good. To hate any of God's creatures and to preteLd to love Him is ridiculous. Of course thoughtless persons often appear Tn this foolish and inconsistent light, but they will the earth with beauty and fills the earth with provender. Love does only
 kindly deeds-it would bless all alike. but love comes to some as coals of fire because of a consciousness of un- worthiness. That is not Love's fault. Those who love most enjoy most those who realize that peace and love dwell together know where to find fne peace which surpasssth understanding.

Me do not reaIize what creatures

We do not realize what creatures of circumstance we are. If we are cheated we mentally resolve that we'll never trust another person. If we have taken a bribe we sort of excuse 1t by saying every man has his price. If We are spendthrifts we have a poor opinion of the frugal because they are not as we are. If we do not look out we go through life narrowing our selves down till the groove we run in is not much broader than a muskrat's. We call folks mean who are not as we are; and others call us small be- cause we are not as they are. We are great at classifying and getting clas- sified. A man is known by the clothes he wears, the company-he keeps, the books he reads; and Some are known b. the way they talk and the way they ray their debts. The signs of degen- eracy are much more numerous than signs of improvement, hut notwith- standing this, man is making progress.

Taking toll is so natural that 1t Is

Taking toll is so natural that 1t Is one of the first things which leads us into trouble. The turnpike toll and the bridge toll are now off, but the mfiler's toll is the recompense in many places. The little boy who was given a nickel for the Sunday school contri
 button box. and got it changed to five cents and then spent two for candy was taking toll to pay tribute to self ishness and a sweet tooth. The ex- pressman or driver who delivers or anges or apples often takes enc or two as toll for the custodian. A pat ron who sees something in the store will take toll by sampung it. None of these parties can tell why they do it; and often they are led to tell falsehood to cover the-I came near saying theft-trick up. This is a real human failing and it seems to me as If I had done it myself somewhere, some time. We never get honorable mention along these lines-they are sometimes the first steps toward jail

l often wonder what strangers think of Norwich from a view of Franklin square. Right in the heart of the city we tolerate filthiness. Some days the brick pavement is strewn with cigar butts; and some days with pieces of orange peel. paper scraps and insight ly mud and some days with silty nas- tlness to be given to the air by the winds and to be breathed by the people as an irritant which produces sore throat, and in some cases tuberculosis. Why do we not demand of the street department cans there for refuse? If the cans were placed there, have we the cleanlv harbit of putting refuse of all sorts in them, instead of throwing 1t on the ground? It is up to all of us to cure this filthy habit-to make wholesome our great public square. If this city is The Rose of New Eng land" let's see that the odors of the place do not belle it's name.
