 The appearance of the Maynard's s automobile on the street wherein Ted dybuSque1 lived created distinct Sen- sation. Editha Maynard herself sat haughtily erect in the tonneau, staring straight ahead

 Editha alighted, to be immediately surrounded by swarm of dirty cnll- dren. Treading her way disdainfuily among them. she climbed the narrow stairs They lived' she thought bit terly, "and mine died"
 The door of the Quays' apartment stood open. and through the opening Editha saw a little crippled child Something in the wan face brought the quick tears to her eyes. so like was he to that other crippled child who had been her own-

 Thomas Quay was seized with trou ub1esome cough Neither Edftha Maynard nor Teddybusque knew that the picture no more resembled tne poor wreck Of womanhood that had been the child's mother than day re- senibles night. s-Ther's woman's s ahem-about them both" stam- mered the man at last

 The woman at the door turned sud, denly and went away The crowd watching her judged her colder and prouder than ever They could not know her heart was breaking with a tenderness it had not known for many a day.
 .The purse wasn't yours. I take it. said her husband. folding his newspa- per Never mind; I'll have another miniature painted. and that was the principal loss" Then he looked at her and saw the teardrops in her eyes.

 The mans hand closed over hers, but he did not know tlrat his child was forgotten for a moment in the other child so like him. So the automobile sped away and the sun sank rosy hued in the west, while Teddybusque' s dream became more and more 8, reality Boston Post.

It was a poor enough place wherein to dream, much less to dream of the fields of Gods own country but Ted dybusque dreamed-dreamed well and the odor of boiling clothes did not disenchant him.
 Daddy he asked suddenly, did you ever see a brook ?"
 Work-worn man bending over a tub in the corner looked up to reply: Yes indeed; long ago. And ain't spring water hard bay. It was delic- ious.'
 "Good's soda?" asked Teddybusque.
 'Better'n soda-"
 'Better'n ice cream Soda?

 Teddybusque's father was seized with sudden cough that made him speeches. for a minute. "Ahem-yes -soon-very soon," he stammered at last.

 "So do I. But we can't. Now, loVey, you go'n lay down. You've been up a long spell"

 He bent over his work again and began a long problem in mental arith- metic. He had never been good at fig ures, but it took him no time at all to arrive at the positive answer. Scrimp and pinch and plan as he would, the price of the fields and flow CTS and the fresh summer breeZes was far beyond Thomas Quay's slender purse When the last bit of linen had h ir7 oh, r,f more for tomorrow.

 He was not at all surprised when he finished his prayer to see something lying at his feet. So simple was his faith in his Almighty that he only trembled a very little as he stopped and picked it up. "The answer" he muttered, "sent direct"
 In his tenement he counted his find. One hundred dollars in bills and the miniature of a fair young girl on a slender gold chain. One hundred dollars, ah-

 There was a little silence, then the child spoke thoughtfully. We must try to find the one who lost it. It ain't ours less we can't; is it, daddy? ?"

4 UNIQUE DISTINCTION.

It is claimed as unique distinc- lion for Vermont that during the civil war not one of her regiments ever surrendered the American flag to the ronfederates. This is a statement made by Gen. Edward H. Ripley of Aiendon, who gives authentic informa- lion of the circum stances of the cap- lure of the Ninth Vermont volunteers, under Gen. George Stannard, at liar pers Ferry
 Tt Is perhaps not generally known,' says the General that the colors of no Vermont regiment in the Nar-and there were a full score of them in the various departments of the service were ever surrendered to the emmy The only possible time when the flag could have been taken was at the cap ture of the Ninth regiment at Hampers Ferry. and General Ripley sauthorita- lively says that their colors were saved from capture by a thoughtful ruse on the part of the Vermonters. About to be taken, the officers shredded the flag, each taking a bit of it and thus saving the colors-"
 There were other regiments in other states who saved their colors by sse- creting them, but it is doubtful if any other state can claim the distinction of not having a single regiment give up it's flag to the enemy.

WHAT IS WORRYING RUSSIA.

The thing that is worrying the au- tocracy and the beaurocracy of Rus sia just at present is the trend among the rural population for peace and quietness and the increa sing demand for schools and libraries. It is the dawn of an era of popular enlighten- ment and a. higher civilization which prompted an official of the interior to report in surprise to his higher officer that requests for new schools come in daily, and with them demands for new libraries One village post master remarked that never before had so many newspapers passed through his post. The police are as- tenished at the calmer tone of the population. They know what it means but are powerless to check the new spirit-
 This alarming condition forebodes a more attractive and better Russia for the people and for the world. The people are increasing the appeals daily pouring in on the authorities for the closing of the state rum shops in EmaH towns and villages; the revolu- ton now on foot is not one of blood, but one of reform; the people would eet up a higher standard of intelligence and morality and in trying to live up to 1t they are lending respectabi1- fty and strength to the nation.

A CAMPAIGN. OF MIsREPREsEN-


We print elsewhere this morning an advertisement which dfsc1oses how far factionalism can go in the way of mis- representation
 There is no sane man in Connecticut who has believed that our senators have been guilty of neglecting the in terests of the state or of denying to its industries the support which in duty bound they are expected to give.
 This refutal of a, Danbury despatch malfgning the loyalty and integrity of our senators is not a surprise to The Bulletin, for it has had no reason to question the ability, fidelity or faith fulness of Messrs. Bulkeley and Bran degee fin the upper house of congress.
 The matters themselves know to whom they are indebted for ac- compnshing legislation in protec- tion of their industries and ten of these agree that it is a lie to say that Senators Brandegee and Bulkeley were unable or unwilling to help the hat ters as stated in the despatch from Danbury.
 The delegation of hatters who vis- ited Washington and saw our senators say they were well received and as sured by both that nothing should be left undone in behalf of their inter ests; and, further, the matters say that they are grateful to the senators for what they did
 This nails this falsehood firm and fast. It would be well if all the oth- CTS issued could be as successfully inpa1ed. There is nothing to be gained for Mclean by such work as this. He is certainly unfortunate in his supporters if this is the kind of cam- paigning by which they hope to sue ceed.

Hot Weather.

To the Editor: Will you allow space for few suggestions regard ing treatment of our animals during the heated term, on which subject the public is so apt to be forgetfuI?
 As to the horses-Be mercifuf with the high check rein. If the anfQlal has been mutilated for life by dock ing" protect him by rubbing on lightly this lotion: One ounce pennyroya1 in l pint olive oil If he wears a horse hat" take it off at sunset If you put q wet sponge on his head, be sure and keep it wet otherwise it is worse than useless. Let him keep his fore lock. It was given him by nature. as was his tail, for a good purpose. Let him drink often in hot weather, but a little at time.
 As for the dogs, give them plenty of water. Don't make them, or even let them, run after your carriage. bi- cycle or car. If a dog acts strangely on the street. don't yell Mad dog!" and try to kill him. He is suffering from the heat and needs kind treat ter on him and get him to a quiet, shady place Don't tie up your dog. to fret himself into ugliness. It is the height of cruelty. His nature de- else. Clip the long-haired dogs in hot weather and let them enjoy life.
 Don't be guilty of the crime of de- serting your cat to the tender mercies or small DONS, VlNlSectlnS meulcdl stu dents (taking a summer" course), savage dogs and swilI buckets, while you bask at ease in your summer re- sort. A cat once the possessor of good home. reduced to such a condi- ton, is one of the most pitiable ob- jects in life. If you cannot take it with you, get some temporary refuge for it or mercifuIly destroy it.
 And the little birds in the cages life prisoners without a crime''-see that they have plenty of water and fresh air, and don't let the sun shine on them too long, Poor Poll. as he sits on his perch, hour after hour, with nothing to do, would be grateful to you for piece of wood, a large spool for instance, which he. could cut and carve with his bi11

A Dishwashins Enterprise.

4 company has been formed in New York to wash dishes for tenants in apartment houses. A minimum charge of 9 cents a day will be made for small families. Modern dishwashing machines are to be installed in the basements of several large apartment houses and the company hopes to build up a large patronage.
 Nobody likes to wash dishes. The housewife who will valiantly tackle the job of preparing meal when the cook fails to show up will shrink from the work of cleaning up the dinner debris and putting the chinaware and cutlery through the process of ablu- tion Washing dishes is task which the cook herself is likely to postpone as long as possible-eyen down to the time when it is imperatively necessary

A Judgment Invited.

A few weeks ago. at least long enough ago to make the date a vague one in the mind, a. young man who had committed the most heinous of crimes fled from Italy to these shores. Italy aksed, a matter of course, for his extradition. The question of guilt did not enter, since the young man confessed it all and expressed as much willingness as anyone might under the circumstances to return and re- ceive his punishment. But the decis
 ion of extradition, which now rests with the state department, has not yet been handed down. Indeed. Washing ton has let it be known that to .'square' an old grievance with Italy, this f1end may possibly be set free.

THE PURE FOOD MOVEMENT.

Germany is wide awake to the wick edness of trade and moves upon the markets with an energy and persist ence that tell for protection for the people. Writing from Plauen, Consul Hurst writes the department of state at Washington, that "a public labor a1ory in Plauen makes a speciality of examining all kinds of food that may, under certain circumstances be in furious when made in part of dele Ier1ous substances, as. well all kinds of utensils. The German federal law authorizes the police to secure, upon payment from dealers for examina- ton in the established laboratories all kinds of food products, toys, carpets. paints, eating, drinking and cooking utensils, and kerosene. Dealers or pro ducers who are found guilty of of lending against the pure food law as it is poputarly called, and suffer a pen atty affecting their personal liberty, are subject, for three years after the expiration of their punishment, to have the premises in which the in eliminating objects have been sold, stored or produced supervised as ire quently conditions may warrant.
 The severity of the law may be judged
 from the fact that gross offenders may
 be punished by lifelong Imprisonment
 with hard labor
 During the Christmas holidays, all
 shops selling toys were closely in
 spected and such articles as were
 injurious were withdrawn from sale,
 the tradesmen in all instances thank
 fully accepting the information as to
 the regulations. Special attention was
 paid to children's sets Of dishes and
 small earthenware pieces with bad lead glazing: likewise to eating, drink
 ing and cooking utensils. as well as to faucets and measures of metal for vim egar. Poisonous colored pencils, cos metics containing copper, quicksilver or lead, some of which were labeled as harmful. All the kerosene samples examined were found satisfactory in every way. A machine for freezing ice cream was condemned as being poorly timed. Pencil sharpeners composed of so per cent. lead. which could cas- fly dfscolor the fingers and could, ac- cording to expert medical authority, be injurious to human life, were con- demned.
 The effect of the pure food law is distinctly salutary, due in small measure to the efforts of manufactur- CTS and dealers to maintain a high standard for pure food, a cause which is regarded here as allied to the na- tional welfare"
 There appears to be. thoroughness about this that is unknown to the same work in this country, and a-co operation on the part of the sellers that is worthy of emulation. America will get there by and by.

A newly married couple were begin ming their honeymoon in a city hotel. The bride went out to do some shop ping, and when she returned she found herself puzzled to decide which was her room. When she thought she had located it she tapped timidly on the panel and breathed:

 There was no response. and she tapped louder and said:
 Honey, it's me: and want to come in"
