Pickert pulled his slouched hat still
further down over his eyes and looked
stealthily at the store as he sfruffied
past. Bur in that glance ne had
seen all that he needed to finish his
report. He had walked this way be-
fore.
The captain was a strict man, and il
a report did not please him, Pickert
well knew that he was not the one to
show any leniency in his dealings with
the offender. But he was confident
Cat his report this time could not fail
TO please his superior.
1t was not infrequently that Pickert
wished that he could leave it all. This
desire to be honest again would almost
master him at times, but when he had
about made his mind, the thought
would come to him that there was no
either place for him in life. Who
would give employment 10 man wear
ing such rags as he was obliged to
wear. and on whose face the deeds of
the last two years had not failed to
leave their marks? No. it was no use to
try to be decent any more. He got
enough from the spoils to keep BODY
and soul together, and though that
was about all. 1t was better than not
being able to have even a crust and
shelter
The captain dressed we1l--almost ele-
gantly. He did not take an active part
~ the affairs which his men carried
on in the night. He only superintend-
ed the busincss-it was by far the
safer way-yet to him fell the maxi
mum share of the ill-gotten gains.
Once Piclzert had been honored and
respected, but that was before he had
left his home for the west Not find
ing the gold which had lured him
there, he had drifted back to an east
ern city. and had fallen in with bad
company. and eventually. not having
penny left. he had Joined the cap
tain's band
Since that time he had tried to thrust
all thoughts Of his old home from his
mind, but despite his efforts it was
impossible.
Pickert hated the small dingy room
under the'eayes which he was obliged
TO call home, and today he dreaded
more than ever to return to It. Just
now he could not help thinking Of the
home Of his boyhood days and his
mother who had loved and trusted HIM
He had left her with the assurance that
some day he would return with gold
enough to give her everything that
heart could wish. And how we'll ne
remembered her answer: Never mind
the gold. Jim. All I ask is that my
boy shall be a gold and honest man"
And he had told her that he would be
all that she wished. And now
Eickert's rough hands stole up to his
eyes and he murmured something un-
der his breath.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Not History Makers.

The famous country life commission
mas made brief statement saying that
the chleI demands made by thousand
Of country people were for a parcels
post, extension Of the rural free deliv-
erN postal savings banks, better roads
and better schools. The commission
has done some good by arousiqg Che
residents of country districts and slim
ulating efforts TO secure better condi-
lions all along the line. But the econ
oaic conditions that are at fault and
cause the most trouble are not touch
eG upon. It was not supposed that the
commissioners had the courage to
tackle problems in that connection, and
it probably also lacked the ability. It
IS not the sort Of a body 20 expect
history making work from.-Bristol

Rev. Dr.. Davis, Reclamation.

Regret over the resignation of the
Rev DR. Ozora s. Davis from the
pastorate Of the South church Of New
Britain in order to accept the presi-
dency Of the Chicago Theological
seminary is not confined to Congrega-
.tional circles. During his service in
New Britain DR.. Davis has made a
deep impression on the civic and re-
ligious life Of the community. His
activities have been varied and pro-
digious and he has touched nothing
that he has not adorned. He is a glut-
ton for work and he is an exponent of
the highest type Of the strenuous life.
Equipped with intellectual training,
am attractive personality, broad human
sympathy and a faculty for doing
things. he has made great record for
usefulness in New Britsin.-Eew Brit

He took up a fresh herring. painted

he explained, you smoked herrings by
hanging them up for days in smoke

costly aromatic woods. That process
was slow and expensive; we have quite
improved it out Of existence. We paint
our herring now with this really quite
harmless chemical extract of smoke-a

MISREPRESENTATION OF FACTS


In his reply to the report Of Senator
Hemenway, President Roosevelt shows
clearly that there has been a gross
exaggeration Of the facts concerning
the number OF men employed in the
secret service and the amount Of its
cost. The president says:
Ito speak Of these men as having
become 81 army or as 5000 men en-
gagged IN secret service and similar
work is comically out Of accord with
the actual facts, The increase was 700
men, Of whom but a score or two are
hAbitually engaged in secret service
work As for the amount expended
the statements in the debate in both
houses are so exaggerated as to bear
no reference whatever to the actual
figures. Thus it was stated that two
thirds Of the money appropriated for
the department Of justice was spent in
criminal investigation. AS q matter of
fsst, the attorney general reports to
me that the appropriation so spent,
construed on the most liberal posi-
BILE basis, was IN reality II per cent.
so that the statement in question was
a thirty-fold exaggeration.
TN the same way It was stated that
$4,000 900 Cor, as one gentleman put
u, that s2o,0oo,000) represented the
amount expended for this secret serv-
ice work, while the totals Of another
set Of figures amount to $32,0000OO as
money which could have been ex-
pended for such work A table care
fully compiled, covering all the de-
partnents, shows the amount actually
expended during the first six months
Of the present fiscal year In all work
that can by any possibility be consid-
cred 70 come under this heading as a
little less than $764,000-an estimated
total for the entire fiscal year Of ap-
proximately 600,000-which goes to
show that the statements referred to
contain only from 5 to II per cent. Of
warrant In fact"

ing the tricks Of the sensational re-
porters. It is hardly fair to the gov

The sausage dates back to the year
S97. 1t has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days of Homer manu-
featured saUsages, but the prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product. The ancient So
called sausage was composed Of the
same materials which enter into one
makeup of the boudin Of the French
market and the blood pudding Of the
French Canadian. The ancient sau-
sage was enveloped In the stomachs of
goats. Not until the tenth century did
the sausage made of hashed pork be-
come known. 1t was in or near the
year 1900 that, thanks to the introduce
ton into Germany of cinnamon and
saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and
Strassburg acquired a universal rep
utation.-London Globe.

First Appearance of DandruR = Fore
runner OF Future Badness.
That such is the case has been con-
clusively proven by scientific research.
Prof. Unna, the noted European skin
specialist, declares that dandruff is the
burrowed-up cutiele Of the scalp, caused
by parasites destroying the vitality in
the hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless,
and, IN time. falls out. This can be pre-
vented.

softness and abundancy.

EXTENDING TIE R,-4T OF emil
NENT DOMAIN.

The New Haven Leader denounces
as a dangerous bill to private inter
ests q resolution introduced'to the
general assembly. which reads as fol
lows;
Resolved by this assembly: Thas
the Danfelsonville Cotton company, fol-
its own purposes, is authorized and
empowered to construct lines Of poles
with wires and electric fixtures there
on and conduct electricity along the
same, upon highways or upon private
property in the towns OF Killingly and
Pomfret, between its proposed power
Giant in the town of Pomfret and its
property in the towns of Pomfret and
killingly; and is given and granted
the right and authority to take, in
the manner provided for the taking
Of land for railroad companies, such
real estate, rights Of way and ease
nents as It's directors shall consider
necessary for the construction Of any
such pole line which said directors
shall locate upon private property"
The Leader very properly considers
this an unwarrantable extension Of
power, an invasion Of personal rights,
A4AA AZ 9e'4
This resolution obviously proposes
to give TO a private corporation the
right to take land for private uses
by the law Of eminent domain.
If such authority can be given to
one power company It can be given to
numbeFless others Of like character.
1T proposes an infringement Of pri-
vate rights to an extent never before
proposed IN any bill or resolution ia
vorably reported by legislative com
mittee.
1T ought to be defeated and the
tight Mr.. Bishop win make against It
when it again comes up for considera-
ton ought to result in its defeat"
This measure would be in no danger
OF passing were a majority Of the rep
resentatives to the general assembly
property owners, and il intelligently
considered there appears to be little
chance FOR Il.
The law Of eminent domain should
not Ds perverted to promote corporate
interests for IN them the interests Of
the whole people are not involved.
Such legislation might lead to a
shameful abuse OF power.

LABELLING GOODS.

The person who prepared the bill
now in the legislative mill requiring
that all goods made in the state pris-
on be stamped convict made" was too
liberal and generous. He should have
included a demand that all articles
manufactured in the state bear a label
specifying the nationality political and
religious beliefs, character and stand
ing in the community Of the people
who worked on them. If we must go
into that sort of thing we should do it
thoroughly and assure the purchaser
that the article was made by people of
rreproachable conduct and extreme
rectitude, or by workers lacking these
qualities, as the case may be.-Bristol
