One Way to Fish.

There are men who take their angling
seriously: men of the rod and reel who
make their own flies and bestow an
ners and all manner of lures; men who
heartily agree with the great Izaak
Walton that just AS no man is born
an artist, so no man is born an
angler
When such a man goes gravely forth
to fish. the day should be overcast, to
match his pious mood. He has bust
ness of import ahead Of him. and The
only conversation that is tolerable must
be in consonance with the spirit of the
occasion and relate directly to the
matter in hand. That is one way to
fish; the scientific, sacramento way.
There is another type of angler of
whom this other highly disapproves.
He is vulgar enough to select a day of
rank sunshine. He says. when reason
ed with, that he finds it better so. He
is also peculiar in his selection of a
fishing ground. asserting that it doesn't
matter much SO long as it embraces
shady nook in some quiet retreat. He
may throw in a line-he very probably
does-but not until ne has first attend
ed to his lunch basket, which he stout
ly maintains is a far more important
item of fishing outfit than the creeI
And yet the man who fishes in this &c
centric way is broadly just towards the
other man-his fellow angler.-PhiIa-
delphia Press.

Canada's Railroad Boom.

Canadian papers. with their ac-
counts of railroads building or pro-
jected. bring to the readers mind the
recollections of the great era of track
construction in the United States
nearly thirty years ago. when the rec
ord was tersely phrased "a mile a day.
In Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta,
and British Columbia railroads actu-
ally under construction aggregate 1000
miles. Canada had about $4,000 miles
in operation a year ago. Among the
lines now receiving their rails are two
headed for the Hudson Bay country
Because. of the contest between Can
ada and the United States some COM
mentators this side of the boundary
have drawn the conclusion that federal
regulation accounts for the relatively
less active development of our own
transportation system. That cannot
be the explanation, for the Dominion's
methods of supervision and regulations
extend from rates to operations, and
the commission that represents the
central authority is armed with abund-
ant powers. The true explanation Is
that in many parts of the Dominion
fresh soil OF the most attractive char
acter awaits the settler who must
reach it by rail if it's resources are to
be turned into coin. Conditions in the
Dominion are not unlike those which
so stimulated railroad building here in
the eighties.-Bostou Transcript.

Names for New BattIeships.

Ever since the last proposal to build
more battleships was put forward the
navy department has been soreIy per
picked TO find names for new vessels
of that class. The system heretofore
followed has been to name the battle
ships after the states and the cruisers
after the cities. There are more than
enough American cities to go round,
even if the navy increases to mann
moth proportions But the depart
ment has nearly run out of names of
states.
When the problem came UP for con-
sideration q short time ago only the
state names Nevada and Oklahoma re-
manned unusued. Three and perhaps
four new battleships might be author
lied. Since the names of Arizona and
New Mexico have become available
But what shall be done when these
four are given to new ships
1t seems elf-evident that if the ma l.
Wy is increased in size a new plan
will have to be decided upon. 1t is
doubtful that the robbing of the pres
ent battleships of their names would
meet with approval. The case of the
New York indicates that. Nor is the
English method likely to meet with
popular favor. The navy department
eventually may have to fall back on
the Indian names of many of our
lakes and rivers.-Cleveland Leader

Walter WeIIman's Error.

'sThere are times" writes Mr.. Wal
ter Wellnan. when some of us grow
a trif1e impatient with Mr.. Roose-
velt's habit of preaching. Someone
heard Coleridge preach n-never
h-heard him do a-anything else was
the reply But upon reflection I am
convinced Mr.. Roosevelt is wiser than
we who would grow captious at his
expense. He knows that the masses
of the people dearly love a sermon
provided it is called something else,
and they don't have to go to church to
hear it,
Now it happens that the same issue
of the Metropolitan that prints this
remark of Wellman's prints also a
sermon-one by Richard Wightman. 1t
has an essay title and decorative Dor

pay you to buy sermons, a nickel a

dearly love sermon he misses it by

The eresarious Small Boy.

1t is only one small boy VINO rings
the doorbell to ask you if YOU want
the lawn moved. But when, after
having given your consent, you look
out of the window few minutes
later you will be pretty sure to see a
regular squad of small boys, swarm
ing over the little patch of grass and
dividing up the tremendous work of
cutting it. Two or three boys will be
taking turns at the lawn mower: an
other will MANIPULATE q pain of rusty
shears, while still another will appear
to be busy with a rake. Not having
supposed that your lawn was to be
moved by a syndicate. you are some
what surprised; but it is really very
simple.
They are partners. Small boys
who amounts to anything always have
partners; and whatever of work or
play one is in on, the others share,
too. 1t is not to be imagined that d
live human boy would work all by
himself in gloomy aloofness if he
could help himself. Work is already
to the boy the great business of life
and an unconscious joy. Although he
does not know it, he probably enjoys
his little business enterprises, and
the dickering consequent upon them
far more than he does so-called play;
and, of course, wants to enjoy them in
the society of his -friends.-Ohio State

Curing a Crouch.

In addressing a woman's clug con-
vention DR.. Madison c. Peters recently
said that social settlement work was
sure cure for a crouch, becaues it
broadens persons vision of life and
makes him happy to know that he is
doing something for others and not
centering all his efforts on self.
No doubt the doctor is correct, but
this broadening influence is not con-
fined to the workers in social esttle-
ment. 1t comes from any work that
IS worth whole for any work that is
worth while compartments the other
man. never sstopping at self. People
do not have to engage in public char
liable or reform movements to get this
broadened vision of life, TO let in this
sunshine of happiness and content
ment that dispels gloom and care.
They may, indeed get it by pursuin g
the simple lines of their own private
daily occupations, the while mindful Of

is needed or when it may do much real
good.-Omaha Bee

Notice TO Automobiles

Owing to the fact that certain auto
mobiIists have taken advantage of the
smooth road to speed their autos on
the new piece of macadam extending
from the New London Town line
through Montville to the Norwich Town
line, known as the New London and
Norwich Turnpike. and inasmuch as a
new macadam road will not stand ex-
cessive speed, the damage to the con-
tractors, personally. is very large. As
this road has not been accepted by the
Highway Commissioner, and until it
is, remains the property of the con-
tractor. anyone going over same faster
than fifteen miles an hour will be
prosecuted for damage to property.

enough behind to miss their oppor-
tunities To illustrate: Mr.. Johnson.
sometime of Reno, having quarreleI
with his manager, and having been
pleasantly characterized by that
gentleman as a loafer and a pauper,
related that he had $40, 900 in the
bank and owned a valuable automobile
whereupon the Chicago assessors, en-
terprising officials who read the news
pa ers and memorize that which they
read PROCEEDED to add $3.50 TO Mr.
Johnson's tax bill. Conversely in
Indianapolis. citizen whose personal
tax covered an assessment on $4,000
cash, delayed to pay the bill and
eventually appeared before the as
SCISSORS and asked abatement, on the
ground that he had lost the $4,000 in
a poker game. One gathers from des-
patches which leave much to be de-
sired on the score of definiteness that
the assessors proved sympathetic and
parantly, they paused and fell far
short of their exalted mission. They
did not demand the information which
would have enabled them To. levy a
new assessment against the man who
won the $4,000.
