GALES 3. TILLINoHAsT.

Many people IN eastern Connecticut
WI be interested IN the notice taken
o. the Soth anniversary as state IL
brarian of Caleb B. Tiilinshast, a ma
tive of Piainfsld, by the Boston papers,
40 near the time Of his death.
The Boston Record, abiding to his
work at the state house, says: That
he built up the state library into an
ideal institution of It's kind. the high
est Hbrary authorities agree. He had
developed 1t from @ small affair to a
thoroughly organised, well equipped
and substantial institution. He had
added features Of real practical value.
He had increased Its usefulness"
The Boston Transcript has the fol-
lowing to offer upon the same subject:
sUnder Mr. TiIlinghast the library
was immensely increased, both by col
lection and by expansion Of the 'ex-
change system It became a vast
storehouse. readily accessible. and was
particularly strong IN its assemblage
Of works Of legal learning. In a word,
Mr.. Tiuinghast was model modern
librarian, Of the school which believes
that books are made to be read. not
simply 10 be seen through glass, and
then darkly.
Recognition OF his worth as IL
hrarfan came many times to Mr.. TIL
hnghast from those most capable Of
realizing It. He might have left the
service Of tina state years ago for more
lucrative employment had not his love
for his work governed him.
1T may be mentioned as at once n
Illustrative Of his purpose TO collect and
store material for history and Of his
untiring industry, that in compiling q
record of members OF the Massachu-
sets legislature running far back into
the history Of the state, he had per-
sonaIiy conducted from his home and
in the limited leisure Of his official
duties a correspondence which some
time ago had reached the volume Of
$4,000 letters"
Mr.. Tillinghast Was city editor Of
the Boston Journal when he was called
to this place and his love of books
and recognition of the value Of sys-
tenn had placed him in the list Of
efficient and celebrated Librarians Of his
time.

As 10 HoonIIlMIsm-

The outing season hoodlum Is not
always the ignorant son of ignorant
parents. Some Of the most outrage
Gus instances Of hoodlumism in the
suburban districts can be traced d.
rectly to the children Of well to do,
intelligent fathers and mothers who.
apparently, have relinQuished control
over their own offspring in order to
take frmer grip upon the general,
broader work of uplift If one Of the
well placed hoodlums is arrested, i'm
mediately all OF the influences that
can be brought to bear are exerted in
his behalf, he is released. usually with
warning, and he becomes. for the time
being, hero to his fellow hoodlums.
Boston Journal.
What the paper says OF this form
Of suburban hoodlumism is true But
there is a city hoodlumism whose
manifestation is strikingly offensive.
for the reason that it proceeds from
an element whose members are only
too prone to plead eminent re-
spectability, social prominence and
wealth. We refer to the contingent
Of college hoodlums whose antics are
too often in evidence. Can it be that
the we'll dressed hoodlums in suburban
districts are encouraged in their
deviltries by what they read or hear
Of the hoodlums In broadcloth here
specifically instanced ?-Salem Mass

The lecture was finished. Chatter
ing groups of enthusiastic women were
discussing the ideas, just advanced by
the latest exponent of Thought Con-
troll; others were hurrying away to
street cars for it was getting late.
Among the latter was Carolyn Deer

companion she signalled a car regard

even begun to say good-by.

IF we don't stay here all night" he
interrupted, and an indignant little
person, mounting the steps, flashed an
angry glance at his number as she
passed to her seat, while the passen-
gers audibly smiled.
The conductor did not smile, but
stoically called several streets; then
came for her fare.
You were impudent." She could
not resist saying 1t in a low tone.
Il know it; I'm sorry" he returned.
1T is the fftieth time I've had the
chance today and didn't take it up"
Such a frank apology turned Caro-
lyn's resentment upon herself, the more
since the lecturer had expounded the
advantages of mental control and that
was why her hand trembled a little -
he took it kindly helping her down
at Piedmont avenue.
IT am sorry l was angry" she faft-
cred.
"Oh, don't mind" he said. This is
my last trip tonight. I'll feel better
after rest''-and his car moved away
out of sight.
There were years of happiness for
both unlocked in that apology, and
next morning a little note thrilled in
Carolyn she had not discovered there
before. She was scarcely aware of it,
however. until glancing at the NORM
ing paper startling headlines arrested
her attention.
Crash Of cars! Motorman killed.
Conductor not expected to uve!"
She read on. Yes. It was he. Con-
ductor 1894 was either now dead or
dying at the Lansing hospital
1t seemed as If she could scarcely
breathe, but she read the article
through. The little note of the morn
ing paper had become a tumultuous
chord and her whole being trembled
in its power All day her thoughts
turned to the sufferer, and she faneled
the kindly eyes that smiled for her
closed in death. The night was long,
and on the succeeding morning she Sc
cretly telephoned the hospital.

IRE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
THREE GOOD REASONS

Eyes, that conductor had been
brought there. In Ward K, madam.
He is conscious"
These answers gave her unreason-
able happiness, but she explained to
herself: I was so unjust to him, poor
chap" Then she sent box Of fresh
flowers with a card: From friend in
Piedmont avenue"
Day followed day, and fresh flowers
were always by the sufferer-but one
day a new girl at the phone could
give no information regarding the vic

Carolyn met him with the motor at

our OLD GENERALS.

The fact that Gen. Daniel II Ruck-
er passed his 9th birthday on the 2Sth
inst has called attention to several
of our old generals. General Fuckers
commission, dated more than three
quarters Of century ago, bears the
signature of Andrew Jackson. More
fortunate than most military patri-
archs, General Rucker has preserved
his mental powers, and while his mem
DRY permits him to talk OF the brevet
he received at Buena Vista sixty-two
years ago last February his modesty
will not. General Fuckers modesty
stands in the way Of some very pi-
quaint recollections, for his first detail
for duty was at Fort Leavenworth
which he was compelled to reach by q
ride Of two hundred miles through a
wilderness, lodging Indians most Of
the way. General Rucker was fifty
years old before his famous son-in-
law. Sheridan, was heard OF outside
the army. The longevity Of soldiers
barring those that get killed, as the
lrishman said, Is remarkabl General
Rucker may be the dean of the pro-
fession, says the Boston Transcript
but here and there are still found hale
old men, who did their full share Of
fighting seventy years ago. Alphonso
Steele of Mexica, Texas, who was at
the battle of San Jacinto, survives, in
his ninety-nfth year, and was able last
winter to reciprocate the courtesies of
a public reception by the legislature
Of that state. He Is not the only sur
vivor of the Texan army that fought
MA~frn re ,Na4 -, oP
who was an aide-de- camp Of Sam
Houston, but not personally present
at San Jacinto, is able to tell Of the
moving incidents Of the war for in
dependence he witnessed"

All Physicians

Must prescribe some Of the In
gradients that are contained In
Hoods Sarsap aFlIla for all tFou-
bIes OF the blood, stomach, kid
neys and liver.
They include sarsaparilla, stillingia,
yellow dock, gentian, wild cherry bark,
mandrake, dandelion, juniper berries,

The combination and proportions are
our own formula and give power to cure
beyond the reach of any other prescrip-
ton or substitute. That's why it is
wise to get Hoods and only Hoods.

It, and making fun Of the good old
westerner who as head of the depart
ment of agriculture originated the
day. The eastern expression of opin-
ion was that it was all right for the
western people to set out trees on their
treeless plains and prairies: but here
IL the east we were never at a loss
for trees, and aside from q desu1tory
sort OF transplantaticn 1t was uncalled
for. But in the last few years the
easterner has learned that 1t is worth
while to grow good timber on land
that is rough and perhaps unfit for
other agricultural purposes. So every
year a larger number of trees are be-
ing set out, not only on the prescribed
Arbor day, but on other home made
arbor days. This year, as one goes
through the country districts, nothing
is more common Just now than to see
the men busy with spades putting in
the new trees.-Hartford Times.
One Who Spoke With Knowledge.
If death must come, happy the man
who can have such a eulogist as Ge5rge
Payne Mclean, former governor of
Connecticut. His eulogy Of Governor
Lilley is one Of the masterpieces Of
modern eloquence. Neither fulsc-1e
nor extravaganza, it presented the
truths of life in words that burn and
thrill. It was the voice of one who
spoke with knowledge and conviction,
the voice of a friend, who had been
with him not only through the strug-
gle just closed, but had himself breast
ed the storm and barely escaped with
life, but withal with an honor that
grows with the passing years. The
appropriateness Of the choice Of the
man who pronounced the eulogy must
impress all who heard OF read it. This
eulogy itself should live with our
choicest literature.-New Haven Regis

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
The Reasons of 1t.

The universal gentleness Of the feel
ing toward the dead governor moves
the New Haven Register to express the
wish that more Of II might have been
shown while he lived, and draws the
lesson Of our duty toward others in
positions Of trial and in need of fair
and considerate treatment. OF course,
1t Is not possible TO feel toward a live,
working, fighting man as we do tow
ard one whose life and work and ag-
gressiveness are ended. But it must
do US good to be reminded of how DIFF
ferently a man seems to US after he
has died and we know that he can no
longer please or offend US or heed or
care what we DO. The Register lays
the feeling 10 "the New England habit
Of repression" That may be partly it.
The real thing, however, is human ma
ture, which in most men fights as
ferCely aud as bitterly as It has power
to do so long as there is opposition, but
softens. fOrgetS, forgives, sorrows and
regrets as soon as death interposes and
suddenly leaves nothing to fight
