NOTHING EXTRA HAZARDOUS
HERE,

II makes q citizen who knows his
Norwich smile when he learns that
the yellow journals by their extrava-
CANT statements concerning a scarcity
OF water here have really so startled
the insurance companies holding large
risks on Norwich properties that they
are considering the canceling OF a part
Of their risks.
The hrennen had ample water from
the city reservoir and have an mex
haustible supply in the rivers which
are accessible to the center of the
city.
Norwich not only has a good water
supply, but a proud record as a city
Of few large fires or large losses. This
is the largest fire that Norwich has
had in half century, and It Is the
fourth or fifth large fire in that time.
Taking the fire losses here for fifty
years. and striking an average. It is
doubtful If there is another city Of this
size in New England which can show
a lower average fire loss.
There is no reason why the fire in
surance companies who are said to
hold risks of seven millions in this
community, should be alarmed. In
surance rates here have been high and
Norwich has been one Of the cities
which has proven profitable, and on
account Of its high-pressure aqueduct
water and well-equipped and we'll
managed fire department, it will con
tinue to be a city which gives hand
Bome returns for all insurance risks.
This little furry Of excitement shows
how thouRhtless writer's for sapsa+{ou
al papers can bring about annoying
conditions even where there is no
foundation for them to rest upon.

TIE BRIGHTER LIGHT.

The year 1879 did not know whether
the electric age was in its dawn or
not. SO recently as this writer in
Enemies of Books" wrote:
1T is much easier to decry gas than
to find a remedy. The library
illumination Of the future promises to
be the electric light. If only steady
and moderate in price, it would be a
great boon to public Libraries and per-
haps the day is not far distant when
1t will replace gas, even in private
houses"
When we look out upon electrically
lighted Norwich today, we notice that
electricity in the past 80 years has in
creased in its uses by leaps and
bounds. This was a cautious man who
did not desire to seem ridiculous to
posterity, this fellow who thought
electricity might at a mot far distant
day replace gas even in private
houses" but he LOOKS far from having
beer a man of sharp discerument.
Private houses are not only now be-
ing lighted by electricity, but in the
best of them everything is being done
by electricity from running the eleva-
tor to cooking the turkey and ironing
the clothes II does not seem as if
the arc-light was shown as a curios-
ity within thirty years but this is so.
A contemporary we'll says: 'Remem-
bering the position Of electric light and
power in the practical world thirty
years ago and to what needs they have
been applied since, it ought not to be
too daring to predict that radium,, or
some similar radioactive matter win
be laboring in the worldwide service
Of man thirty years hence"

contest, to the credit OF the schools

TO send to each writer a Lihcoln cen

Of good, Iegible writers In the past as

The Bulletin is well pleased with
the result Of it's effort to interest the
school children Of eastern Connect
cut in the centenary of Lincoln, who
was great because he was true to God,
true TO himself, true to every trust,
and true to his fellow citizens whether
they we're for or against him. The
Bulletin thanks every letter. writer
who responded to its call and entered
INTO the competition, and in due time
each one will receive a Lincoln medal
as a token Of appreciation Of each
child's interest and work.
In contest Of this kind, there are
really no losers. Those who do not
win the visible rewards and common

and are the better qualified to again
enter into a similar contest. Earnest
effort is always rewarded.

For plain, everyday wear this is an
excellent model. and it may be develop

white or colors. Indian-head cotton,
madras. striped wash silk, ptque or
fancy shirtings, which are coming to
the fore this season, for the woman
general knockabout waist. The two
tucks over the shoulders give the re-
quired fullness to both the front and
back and yet retain the plainness which
is so necessary to the style of the tall
ored garment. The long, tight-fitting
sleeves are finished with dainty ruff
fies of washable muslin or dotted Swiss
or these may be omitted If desired.
Large pearl buttons close the waist at
the front and similar buttons are used
on the lower edges Of the sleeves. The
collar is a high, straight one, closing
at the front and trimmed with the
plated rufhes, matching those used on
the sleeves; a slight gathering at the
waist line in the front and back holds
the fullness in place. This model may
be hand embroidered IL desired and IL
this Is the case some bold design or
cosmos. chrysanthemums. or sunhowers
should be chosen, or conventional
scroll design Is also in good taste. The
embroidery should be done in solid
stitch the petals Of the flowers being
first padded so that they viii stand
out in high relief when finished The
centers of the blossoms may be worked
in eyelet design and the stems done In

A LiIIev Rumor.

The malace Of the canard that
Roosevelt and Taft are not the same
good friends today they were a year
age today is defeated by it's stiffness.
"IdiOtic" is the presidents word for
it. All the stories about his sugges-
tons being disregarded or turned down
by Taft are mere lies. He isn't max
ing suggestions. John Torrance writes
from Washington to the Boston Adver-
tiser that the president hasn't said a
word to Taft about appointments
ca me or other and isn't going to.
He's going to Africa. 1T may he stat

The STRENUOUS LIFE OF RoosE.
WELT.

The nation has never doubted that
President Roosevelt is a very active
man-that he knows nothing about the
eight-hour day which he is so willing
to advocate for labor. The average
citizen doesn't stop to think what a
busy day means to Roosevelt, but some
one from the inside has just given a
schedule Of a recent Rooseveltian
Monday What did the president do?

ing in Africa.
There Is nothing slow about this.
How could there be anything slow
about Rooseveltian day Perhaps It
is slightly overdrawn, but. as busy
days run. the president is likely to
feel as if he was loahng when he gets
to the wilds of Africa.
