The Town Council not long since au-
thorized the Street Committee to procure
and place at various points along Wash
ington street metallic r.ceptacies for ba-
mana aud orange Feelings bits of waste
paper, etc, that such things might not
be thrown under foot and litter Nd til
sidewalks and street and make walking
dangerous. These receptacles have bee n
received and so placed. but there seems
TO have been great misapprehension /; S
to their intended use. some merchants
and others, apparently, having couclnd-
ed that the town had generously furr-
ished them free garbage cans. Walking
along Sunday morning we observed in
several OF these receptacles large banana
stalks, from nearby stores and restaurants
10 another large lot of broken qaeens.
ware. and III yet another about bushel
OF something. we could not divine what
which had evidently been brought ont
from an adjacent business house or eel
lar. A little police instruction as TO the
intent of these receptac.es, and an ar.
rest or two, if necessary. of parties who
deliberately violate the town ordinance
and throw banana and orange Feelings
and bits of Taper up IN the sidewalks and
streets, might work wonders with
thoughtless people.

COUNTY BRIDGE REPAIRING.

There seems to be something
wrong with the system of repairing
the county bridge across the Raritan
river. The bridge is rough enough
at best, but now some old planking
Is being replaced by planks that are
an Inch or two higher than the old
surface. AS the planks are placed
crosswise excepting on the draw,
this makes travel extremely dis
agreeable to the people riding, not
to mention the enormous wear and
tear on the vehicles. especially auto
mobile tires. 1t seems as If there
ought to be some way Of repairing
the roadway other than making il
as rough as a cornfeld.

Daddy's Bedtime
\+@-y The Blind Men and
oIOAy the Elephant
"The Animal Is just
Like \ Wall"

AM going to tell you this evening" said DADDY to Jack and Evelyn, "a
story which shows how important it is for n to know what he is
talking about before he expresses a opinion about anything. 1t is al
old story about six blind men and how they tried to find nut what an
elephant looked like. $3.50
These sx men lived in India, where some OF the elephants live They
were very poor lei and because they were blind they could not work. So
they sat at the roadside and begged from the people who passed. Very often
they heard people speak about the big animal called the elephant but OF
course they could not imagine what he looked like although they often wished
they could.
Zone day the six blind men noticed tina. there was some excitement near
them. They asked the people what the matter was, and they were told that
a very large elephant was being led down the road. The six blind beggars
to make him stop so they could get an idea of his size and appearance. OF
course they could not ses, but they believed that II they could touch him with
their hands they could form N idea OF his size and shape. The first beggar
was very tall He reached up and fell. the elephants ear. Why he said to
the others, the elephant is just like a great big FAM @
"The second blind man felt the elephants leg. ] am sure he said, the
elephant is round like a tree The third man stood in front Of the animal
and reached up and grasped the tusk. You are both wrong he said; the ee
plant It's round and smooth and hard and sharp at the end like a spear
II THE fourth blind beggar stood al the side o. the big ANNA and passed his
hand yer his rough skin. Why he said, you do not know what You are
talking about! This animal is just like a wall, only he lis rougher'

instead of grasping the other tusk, he reached out his hand and felt the ami

But the opinion Of the sixth and last blind beggar was the queerest of
all. He wal quite od. The part OF thu elephant that he seized vas the tail.

Putnam,a Wolf Den.

Everybody in the country is familiar
with the story OF how Israel Putnam
in his youthful days crawled into a
den and killed a fierce she wolf that
had been ravaging the neighboring
sheepfolds 100 years ago.
Ali admirers of the deed and Its
heroic doer will be glad to know that
the den and its surroundings are to be
converted into a public park. The his
toric den is among high hills, In a rug
ged country, some miles from the vii
lage of pomfret, VT, and is situated at
the base Of the mountain.
The cavern, with the woodland all
about 1t, is on the big farm of Phoebe
Ann Clapp of Pomfret, and 1t remains
exactly as 1t was a century and a half
ago, except hat hundreds of visitors
there, who came from all parts of the
Unien, have chiseled their names In
the rough rocks about Its mouth. The
entrance to the V is about two
feet In diameter. The passageway
.BIants downward at first FOR about If
teen feet, then extends horizontally
ten feet further, ascends an easy slope
and ends In a narrow chamber@sthe
ancient home of the. wolf-the cell
lug of which is less than four feet
high.
