| Great-Aunt Eunice's garden is one of the dearest places in the world. There is nothing modern about it, not even the tiniest blade of grass-every- 1 thing is so delightfully."- old fashioned. The flowers and shrubs are like pretty. l dernure lasses and always make my up-tO-date frockS look out of place. That is why, when I want to spend an hour among the hollyhocks and priIn- roses, l always go first to that other dearest place, great-aunts old room, and don one of the pretty Oldtime | frocks from the cedar chest. Then l feel quite at home among the dainty l flowers, as though I had inherited not her name alone, but her personality as well.
 There is a fragrance from these l posies such as no modern flower, how ever fair, can boast The mignonette and sweet lemon verbena scent of the air, while the tiny ladies' delight and the 1narigolds turn their faces up in such friendly fashion
 Though the garden is crowded with these and many others there are two which never grew in this enchanted spot until after the tragedy of Aunt Eunice's life. Then she planted the love-Hes- bleeding and the mourning bride. Great-Aunt Eunice left them to the care of others and carried her sor- row to an early grave.
 It seems a cruel thing when the Hendersons and Withrows had lived for generations side by side like one loving family their first disagreement should have come just in time to wreck the happiness of two young lives. Such an undignified quarrel for such a paltry cauSe-a few rods of ground. Everybody says there must have been a deeper cause behind so fiinlsy an excuse, but no one seems able to make it.
 The .-debatable ground" oddly enough, was the garden, the favorite trystfng place of the lovers, sweet Rose Henderson, as Great-Aunt Rose Eunice was once called, and manly David Withrow. At first they laughed at the trouble, but when old Daniel Withrow sternly ordered his son to break his engagement to the "Henderson's girl,' and great gran dfather told his only daughter-with head averted that he
 mi gf1t not see the pain in the eyes he loved-that she might consider the be- trotllad at an end. then and only then did they realize that the quarrel went too deep for laughter.
 Aunt Eunice made her only protest. Father, you have no right" and, unable to say more, fled to her room. There was one more meeting among the roses, where they vowed eternal fidelity and undying love- but it was their last for within the week David Withrow sailed for England on busi- ness for his father.
 For a year he stayed, then came but hard upon this news came other, ''the Dorothea lost at sea and all on board went down.

The New Woman.

Woman, for the first tine has taken to experimenting. Heretofore man has been the experimenter, the adventurer, the dreamer. Woman has been pa tfent plodder doing the useful things directly and intimately connected with the maintenance of life. Man has set things going. and woman has kept them going. Mans mind has been busy with the directing and forming of life, woman's with the act of living itself. Man has stood for variation and woman for the preservation of racial identity. Man has been pro- gressive, liberal, insurgent; woman has been conservative.
 But now the world has changed life is different. Homes have given place to flats and hotel suites and CO., opera tive kitchens. Social and economic conditions have freed much of wom- an enerby tha tfnust find vent in new activities Woman is still the maker of the home, and must be, as long as there are homes. But she wants to find herself other forms of activity. So she tries everything that once was foreign to her being; she seeks all possible ways of fulfilling her larger nature. And she will find her place in the new scheme of things when all this unsettling is over and the rea-ad- justment has come.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
Roses and Love-Lies-B Bleeding

It was then that gerat- planted the love-lies- bleeding and the mourn ing bride, then quietly asked that she be called Eunice and not Rose
 Perhaps you'H think from all this that am a mopy sort of person. rath- CT inclined to solitude and meiancho- lia: but I'm not on the contrary. l splendid; besides, I can row and swim and fence, and-well, think l am just an ordinary modern girl, healthy prove me less so that I love the dear little garden, now doubly dear, for the strangest thing has happened
 One evening just at early twilight, l den to spend an hour with the dear, old fashioned flowers. I was wearing great -aunt's rose sprigged gown. and on impulse 1lad pulled loose a thick, brown curl that now lay on my should er I stepped slowly, bending often to touch and smell some fovorite blos- som, and at last stopped to tuck among the laces at my throat a few shy rosebuds. when a slight sound caught my ear. I turned quickly and faced a figure which l recognized at once. I had seen too often the DOT trait of David WithroW in Greaf-Aunt Eunice's room not to know that this was he-a spirit from the past. For a moment I gazed silently at this spirit of gallant bearing and ancient dress then at the same instant, boldnesS seized him and panic caught me- For, as he strode forward with outstretched hands. I stepped back into the shrub bery and fled.
 When, that night at dinner, daddy quietly remarked that "Old David Withrow's grand-nephew and name sake is back after all these years Of schooling" sudden warmth flooded my face and neck.
 For a week I dreamed in spite of severe self-scoldings, such dreams as I had ridiculed other girls for enter taining. Then deliberately passed by the gorgeous costume which had been prepared for me to wear to the Hunt ers' masked ball In it's place donned the little rose-sprigged gown with its modest laces, pulled out a curl to fall on my shoulder, and tucked tiny rose buds in those 1aces and in my hair.
 Only one form saw that night, the form of David WithrOw in his ancient dress and powdered hair. And know now there was only one whom he saw. For me-for us-there was one most memorable moment of that never-to- be-forgotten night; the moment when he took my hand and drew me into the rose room There in the midst of their beauty and fragrance he undid my tiny mask and cast it aside as he had already discarded his own. For an instant he stood and gazed into my eyes with reverent love in his-

TWELVE DEAD

A 6ozen lives sacrificed to some one;s ignorance and folly is the record made in Westerly, R. l., where a home made 7vhiskey, blended with wood al- cuilos, has been sold by a druggist.
 IL is apparent enough that the man who compounded this whislzey had no knozgledge of the poisonous character of wood alcohol. the fumes of which, 7z hen used in varnish, have been known to make painters blind He teck no heed of the fact that he had TO license to make a cheap drink by slddinw 2 vfrulent poison, and the re- suit is that someone is guilty of man slaughter and should be. held for the CT i-ne.
 News comes from Rhode Island that the case is to be probed. It should se promptly probed and the guilty party made to answer A case of this kind should not be regarded as an accident, for the man who through sgnorance puts the public in such peril is guilty of a crime. The maker of the stuff knew it was not whiskey, for he was making a cheap and base irnita- ton for gain, and he did not appear To regard knowledge of much import 1nce in the art of meeting the public demand for alcoholic drink.

Racial Admixture.

The American of Ang1o-Saxon blood has been always opposed to racial ad mixture of any kind. It is useless to ask why and to hark back to the time when all the human world was kin It happens to be so. But now and then our pyejudices and pereconceptions re- ceive jar in respect to Indian mar riages-Such as MT. Bailey Willard gives them in his current account of the "Squaw Man"
 MT. Willard began his study with the common and normal attitude against cross marriage of races. He recognized that the opprobrium which attends the minging of races is perhaps an instinct of race preservation He went west dan on the Rosebud reservation Col. Jordan. a cousin of Gen Custer, is the soldier to whom Crazy Horse," the real leader in the Custer massacre, has been married for thirty happy years to -Wash-Tay, daughter of Red Cloud
 Here. in paragraph. is what the colonel has to say of "squaw nen:"
 There's a good many white men on this reservation and on others who have Indian ladies for wives, but I'd advise you not to call 'em 'squaw mem when you run up against 'eTn. Some of the biggest and best men who ever came into the west have married In- dian women Sam Houston and Kit Carson were what you'd probably call SQudW men, dnd so were Ceu. s9lD- ley, Gen. Sully and Gen. Patterson, of the regular army, as well as Commo- dore Kitson, Marquis F'ontanelle, Pierre Chouteau and scores of other big men. Col. James Mclaughlin, the senior United States Indian inspector, is married to woman of Sioux blood; and Granville Stewart, formerly speak CT of the Montana legislature. and Mark Forbes, who held the same posi- ton in Minnesota, both have Indian families; and, for that matter" he flung out definantly, 'fso have I-''
 IL goes without saying that these are but rare and happy instances, preceded by the historic nuptials of Pochahon- tas. whose descendants to this day are proud of their origin. On the other hand, there are the genuine "squaw" men, who marry or ally themselevs with the red woman merely for the sake of the quarter section of land that she and each one of her children will bring. In such an alliance the sqaw is greatly superior to the white man she marries.-Philadelph Press.

The Nations Coal Supply.

Doctors and experts are famed for disagreement of opinions, and this applies to the differing estimates by experts as to this nations coal SUD- ply.

FARM AUTOMOBILES.

There are not great many auto mobiles owned by the farmers of New England. but the more thrifty among the tiuers of the soil are looking wist- fully in that direction. In the west, fine farmers are running automobiles and getting more pleasure out of life Elan they ever knew before.
 The Travel Magazine says out of 10 900 automobiles in Iowa, 5000 are owned by farmers. Kansas farmers Rent $3.20o.0e0 for automobiles dur ing 1909 and s2.75o,000 in 1908. Tn one Nebraska town of 800 population, 4o automobiles were sold last year to farmers near the town and retired farmers in the town. Careful esti- 1na tes of the number of automobiles owned by farmers in the entire Unit cd States Is 76.oo0-
 Sixteen automobile makers are ad- yer Using automobiles to the farmers in the 459 farm papers of the coun- try and most of them are arguing that the automobile will keep the boy on the farm, and make life more liv- able for tho wife. whose dreary round of labor has been the pity of the country
 The farmers of the country count up 4s,0oe. 900, and as a class they can truly say, We are the people-we are tf,e bone and sinew of the country we are the contributors to it's prog ress and wealth; and we are the hold CTS of a substantial portion of its riches. The farmers have be{n in- creasing their bank accounts in the great agricultural states for years, have been buying ponies for the chill dren. pianos for the parlor. phono- graphs and automobiles for the fam flies The farmer is rapidly coming Co his own.

MUNICIPAL JEALOUSY.

The municipality that is not jeal- BUS of It's appearance and good name ss the exception. not the rule, and when the census is closed and the re- suit is announced many a city will cleirr1 that it has been under-counted that the official figures are incor- rect. No city ever enters com siaint that its figures are too large, but in the past some have been sus- eected of having been padded up to satisfy political ambitions, and sew srel were found to have been made sver populous on paper by unscrupu- ious enunneratcrs under the direction sf willy politicians. It was to avoid } repetition of this kind of work that President Taft promptly registered himself against the political enumer- ttor and gave notice that the admin istration and the census bureau stand for an honest count.
 What the enumerators of Norwich pre going to find out Is not clear. There is not a good prospect of any thing more than the regular increase yince there have been no striking changes in our industries or the de- mand for worl1nen. It is an unde- niable fact that our population is changing and that those who come and those who go nearly balance one another. The fact that the increase over the last census does not promise to be large is the reason why the enrmerators and the people should bear in mind that careful inquiries and accurate statements should be made that no resident shall be missed from the list.
 Norwich may show a slight decrease in population; but, whatever the cen sus shows, let's have the number cor rect and the statements concerning our property accurate Honesty is a good asset at all times.

B. society. and he is at present exalted ruler Of the Elks. He is a personal friend of Mayor Landers, and has been an alderman during his ad- ministration. As mayor of the huStling city of New Britain there is no doubt but what MT. Halloran will make good, and we look for as prosperous a two years for that otty during his administration as any it has had in a long time.-Waterbury Democrat.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A Comment.

Mir. Editor: In this mornings Bul- letin. in an article regarding the as- sessors and their work in preparing the exempt list of the town of Nor wich, it was stated that they had vis- ited every piece of property in that list.
 Now, to my certain knowledge, a piece of property named in that list as belonging to a soldier (wflo fs dead) has for the past four or five years been paying taxes, having been sold, and is in the list of taxable property in an- other persons name That looks as if that piece of property had not been visited, and perhaps there are others
 Also supposed pianos were taxable; but I can stand on my veranda and see houses where there are fifteen pianos. not one of which. I believe, is in the tax list K-k

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC CITY.

Following the example of Hartford, New Britain, another normally repub- lican city, elects a democratic mayor. As in the case of Hartford, issues purely local seem to supply the req son for this action, the victory of the rest of the republican ticket indicat- ing that personality also played a part many to see strong political signif- canoe in this double democratic vic tory. It is likely to stimulate ambi- it is bound to supply further encour- agement to the democratic party in the state which may yet secure a can didate of sufficient stature, a war fund of sufficient size and an organization of sufficient cohesion to play a real part in the next state campaign.-Wa- terbury American.
 The enemy has his ear to the ground and thinks the vibrations are right for democratic success. 1t is not so bad, after all, since straws of this kind arouse the dominant party to have a care about it's conduct and it's candi- dates. The people appear to be in a mood to choose what they consider the best candidates for office, and the character of the men as well as the size of the barrel must be paid strict attention to. There is no disgusting the fact that the republican party everywhere is in state of unrest and it is very likely to rebuke it's leaders this year upon less provocation than usual. A square deal is what the people are looking for and propose to have.
