GOOD JOKE ON M.Nor, MEN

GOOO JONE ON msNOl WEN
A number of Minot men went to
Des Laos Thursday morning after the
big fire had swept that little city,
and very thoughtfuf1y took an auto
load of doughnuts, bread, pies ano
fruit, with them, believing that some
one would feel the need Of the food
They informed the unfortunate people
of the town what they had brot, but
while they appreciated the kindness OF
the Minot men, they thot they could
get along, anyway. The Minot men
insisted upon leaving the food, but
when they went to take it from the
auto, they found that someone had
saved them the trouble. The pies
fruit and more than half Of the bread
had already been eaten by some OF
the hungry fellows. In times like that
formaaity is dispensed with and while
the Minot men were glad to be Of as
sistance, they felt that the joke wat
on them in a way.

APPLE DAY.

This is Apple day by decree of the
Apple Consumers league, and every
true and loyal son will take at least
one apple straight in evidence of his
love for the fruit and of his progress
sive spirit in behalf of apo1e culture.
1t is a greater day in the great apple
belt than it is in New England, but
il is good enough to be honored ev-
eYywEere.
The health promoting qualities Of
the apple are more and mo-e lecog-
nize9 and greater quantity Of ap-
pies are consumed every year in the
country and in Connecticut. The Cen
necticut Farmer speaks in behalf of
this national day, which is not holi-
day. as follows:
ITO the Connecticut Pathological So
ciety is largely due the credit of our
improved apple crop, for they have in
every way, through exhibitions and in
stitutes, set a high standard of ex-
cellence in growing apples and have
encouraged the farmers to give more
time, land and attention to this branch
of agriculture, until today probably
more people know about the raising
of apples than ever before. The Con-
necticut experiment station has also
contributed very largely to the sue
cess Of apple raising in our state, in
disseminating information about the
care of trees, the eXterminat ton of
pests, etc, and the willingness of the
men at the station in answering in
quiries and giving advice has been
taken advantage of in every part Of
the state. 1t is a we'll known fact
that better looking and better tasting
apples can be raised right here in
Connecticut soil than anywhere in the
world, and the increasing number of
people who are finding this out is very
encouraging for the future BIT eat
at least one apple on Tuesday and as
many more as you can. and tell your
friends to do the same

PADDING THE CENSUS.

The disadvantage of deceiving the
government with padded census re-
turns has been so often shown, 1t is
surprising that men conducting the
work will permit themselves to be led
into such a trap, for the city mlsrep-
resented is worse tricked than the
government. The example of ST. Jo-
seph, Mo-, which lost $4,000 in popu-
lation the past ten years, and which
is now recognized as the victim of
foolish ambition and a miscount when
the census was taken before, should
deter men from such practices; and
now Tacoma is charged with having
padded its returns to the extent of
$4,000 names, and the work was over
done, carrying the city's population
above $4,000, the fraud might not
have been detected at the present time.
Among other cities yielding to the
temptation to figure well in the CEN
sus, the cities of Seattle, Portland and
Minneapolis are all at present under
suspicion of having padded their re-
ports.
In too many cities the action of civic
bodies and the authorities is too often
for big count instead of an honest
and accurate numbering of the whole
people. 1t is a human weakness to
like to appear, in the lead, or at least
as well as ones neighbors; but there
was never G more serious mistake
made than lying to the government,
since it gives the city a bad character
in which the people cannot help shar-
ing. The government will doubtless
severely punish the guilty parties if
sufficient proof can be had to indict
and convict them

one under him. Mild little Francie, as
usual, was the victim, and his harsh
ness drove her in tears from the room.
WIadyslaw went after her and soon
persuaded her to return.
Wladyslaw acted as an antidote to
old Barney. Many times his good ma
ture held the girls together when the
foreman's abuse threatened to disrupt
the gang. But, despite his sympathy,
Francie dragged red eyed and glum
through that day, and the others de-
cided to help her get away from Pack
ingtown.
Piotr. UP in the cutting room. want
ed a wife to keep the little house back
of the yards, for the purchase of which
he had saved money through a dozen
years. This the girls considered good
chance for F'rancie. and they planned
meeting for the two at a dance that
evening. But Francie did not go.
few mornings later the good heart
ed conspirators learned that Wladys-
law had taken Francie downtown to a
SHOW the evening of the dance They
knew he pitied the girl-as they all did
because of old Barney's badgering,
but this surely was going too far with
his sympathy. 1t might raise false
hopes in simple little Francie, and thus
cause her to lose real chance to get
married and escape her drudgery.
Barney's seedlings, or something else,
seemed to have changed Francie. She
took interest in her work and q new
light came into her dark eyes that in
dicated better things.
So the girls again ceased their plan
ming for her.
Piotr was more persistent. He gave
up his job in the pork cutting room
and took one at less pay with the trim
ming gang, just to be near Francie. But
the girl Stunned him.
One morning she whispered. to her
friends that she would quit Packing
town that evening They were glad for
her sake, but Piotr was disconsolate
This was his last chance, and being
encouraged by the girls, he insisted on
telling Francie of his lonely house back
Of the yards.
VIA dyslaw at the scales, saw Piotr
and abashed Francie, surrounded by q
gleeful, marrying crew of workers. He
moved across the room with the first
frown anyone ever had seen on his
face.
Hey. efferybody git on de job" he
stormed.
Julyanna and Jozefa recovered first
from the general surprise and started
to explain the joke. But Wladyslaw
said: "You needn't bodder no more

AT SEA IN A BALLOON,

The starting of the America with
Walter Wellman and five others for
Great Britain by airline is of itself
4 courageous feat, even though they
should fail to make one-quarter the
distance. For lack of experience it
cannot be told how long it is posi-
bic for the America to keep afloat
or just how she can land on the water
with her boat upright and III a navi-
gable condition. The perils Of such
voyage are much more evident than
the chances of success under the
most favorable circumstances. The
trip to the coast of New England
would not be noteworthy were the
America not bound to sea for the first
trial of the power of a great airship
against all exigencies. This dirigible
balloon is doubtless the most COM
pletely QUILTED airship that was ever
conceived of, and as an invention is of
itself as much Of a wonder as the big
ocean liners which now make their
thirty miles an hour the entire dis
lance from Liverpool to New York.
The world is not expecting that Mr.
Wel1man viii reach his destination
on the first attempt. AS an exchange
estimates it, he will "do well if he
reaches the coast OF Maine, and cover
himself with glory should he reach the
coast of Newfoundland" 1t is mas
terly piece of leadership and will
make Mr.. Wellman famous in the an
nails of aviation for all time, whatever
may happen to his ship and crew, for
it is the first time that the crossing
of the Atlantic ocean has ever been
undertaken by man in an airship, al
4.
The result of this first voyage win in
a way prompt or retard other ventures
of the same nature; and, should Mr.
Wellman survive, it may not be the
last attempt which he may make to
cross the ocean by. flight. Crossing
the seas by flight does not appear to
be as impracticable a scheme as it
once did; and the chances are that
the future will witness successful
flights from this country to foreign
shores.

CHELSEA HERSELF AGAIN.

1t is two and a half years since Che1-
sea, Mass, was burned and left prac-
ticaliy a ruin with a loss of seven
teen millions staring her in the face
TO say nothing of the homeless thou
sands who did not know which way
TO turn for succor. This week on Sat-
urdsy the city will dedicate it's new
city hall as q climax to a local ex-
position of the manufactures and in
Nustries of that city. under the direc-
ton of a local committee, as they have
been re- established and extended since
the great fire wrought such wide
havoc.
The recovery of Chelsea to her for
nIer condition in SO short time is
regarded as a phenomenal manifesto
ton of enterprise and thrift. The
Boston Post, referring to this event,
says.
The total loss by the fire of April.
1908, was estimated at ST., 000, 900. The
loss of taxable property, as shown by
the annual assessments, was over So
100000. In the two years and a half
that have passed, Chelsea has regain
ed all that was lost in assessable val
uation and has surged ahead in popu-
lation and in productive industry.
The old adage of reproach-"As
dead as Chelsea"-must be consigned
TO the limbo of things forgotten. Chel-
sea is very much alive, the resurrec-
ton has been vigorous and sturdy as
well as rapid beyond comprehension.
And the end is not yet. The celebra-
ton of next week looks to a greater
and still more prosperous future of
this member of the congeries of
municipalities which we call Greater
Boston"
