.BULKELEY FACING
 LIFTS SETTING SUN

So far as nominations tor repr senta- tiyes and senators can tell the story Sen- ator Bulkeley has received positive mo- tice of his retirement. It is good news, too. It is earnestly to be hoped that later developments and the election win confirm and emphasize the notice filed on him. He belongs toan era that is passing says the Bristol Press. He faces the setting not the rising san, and with his experience should have been as com petent as Senators Aldrich and Hale to read the signs of the times. Conserva- tive figures give Mclean 199, Bulkeley 94. Some of these candidates will have to make way for democrats. But it is probable that losses due to democratic gains will be about equally divided be- tween the senatorial candidates.

THE DISEASE
 NOT EPIDEMIC

The report of the state board of health just issued calls attention to the preva- lenoe of infantile paralysis in various parts of the state Although there have been quite a number of cases reported, these have been well distributed over the state and the disease has not yet appeared in extensive epidemic form in any particular locality. Much interest is being taken in it's study in many parts of the country where it has prevailed, not only among sanitarians. but the medical profession in general.
 The state board announces in it's re- port that special blanks are being pre- pared which will be sent to the health officers of the various towns upon which the local officials will be asked to make complete reports of all the cases ot this disease which have been reported in their districts The board asks that all physicians and officials cooperate with it in it's endeavor to secure all possible data relative to it's causation and mode of transmission. -....
 There were 1880 deaths for the month of September which is rate of 15.S per 1000.

ERRORS MADE
 BY NEWSPAPERS

Some people seem to think they prove their own brillisncy by being able to point out errors in a newspaper. After taking their leisure to pick flaws in work that had to be done in hurry, they call the newspaper man by tsle- phone or hail him on the street for wrong capitalization or split inhnitive, if they can find nothing more serious.
 Everyone makes mistakes in his pro- fession, but with most people only the boss knows about it. The newspaper mans mistakes are spread out for tho world to see.
 The conditions of newspaper making demand that it be done at high pres sure. If the editor went st his task with the extreme caution manifested by the lawyer when he. writes win there would not be time to do much writing. And few people realize what infinite pains even under existing conditions are taken to avoid errors so far as possible. The bulk of the mistakes are the result of inaccurate information given to re- porters. s.-Meriden Journal.

PRESENCE OF MIND ...
 SAVED HIS LIFE
Lloyd Brinton Grasped the Horns of an Enraged OK
 That Tried to Gore Him.

Knocked Down in Pasture Lane and
 Bunted Around But Held to 0x's
 Horns With Main Strength Until
 Rescued By His Father With a
 Pitchfork-lnjured Internally and
 Under Doctors Care.
 Falls Village Got 26.-(SpeciaI But for his presence of mind in grasping the horns of an enraged bull that tried to gore him, Lloyd Brinton might have lost his life. He was passing through a pasture lane on Battle hill, not far from the church, in which young bull was grazing. The animal. on seeing Brinton charged on him, knocking him to the ground.
 With great presence of mind, Brinton grabbed the bull by the horns with both hands and held on for life. Then ensued mighty struggle between the young man and the angry bull. The animal sought every means to free it's head from the clutch of the young mans hands, while he, knowing that life or dangerous mutilatation depended upon his ability to retain the grip he has secured, bent his every energy to main tain his grip and succeeded. ....
 Back and forth over the rough and stony ground the angry bull pushed him. Rocks were encountered here and there against which Brinton was un- tremendously bunted, but still he maintained that desperate grip on the bulls horns. He felt himself growing weaker but realized that to let go meant being placed Ut the mercy of the animal which by now had reached a state that 1t would not have hesitated moment at goring it's victim. could it have freed itself from that muscular grasp, which bordered closely on despair.
 Brinton felt the hot breath of the bull upon his face. The eyes, bending above him, usually mild with the look of docility, became fierce and vengeful. He felt his strength waning, and dreaded lest he should be obliged to loosen his grip. The rough usage he had re. oeived was not without results. He felt darting pain in his side. His breath

THE SUPERNATURAL IS
 AT LAST EXPLAINED
THE SEASONS
 SNAKE YARN

Cornwall comes to the front with 8 snake yarn that is certainly entitled to the palm of victory. Luther s. Potter, William P. Farrell and Frank and Joseph Heavy of Suffield who are on 8 three weeks hunting trip were last heard of at Sharon, and one evening last week. while camping near Cornwall, |, their dog was attacked by a large black snake and nearly squeezed to death. The dog has three ribs broken and was nearly dead when rescued.
 So goes the story. But just here comes the big grain of allowance. Any body who knows anything of snakes knows, or should know that the black snakes inhabiting Connecticut wilds although termed 'constrictors" are not endowed with constructive power and are wrongly named. Instead of being able to crush the ribs of dog, the black snake could not crush chipmunk. The Pilot snake, which is not common in Connecticut has construction power, but hardly sufficient to crush in the ribs of a dog. We have come to the conclusion that it must have been a moving machine that went over that dog or a road roller to have caused such remark able damages, The writer of such yarns should either make study of the snakes of Connecticut or have his dog properly crushed in some tropical country where constructor snakes abound.

QUIT VISITING
 OVER THE WIRE

A new rule which has gone into effect in connection with the service of tho Southern New England Telephone Co.,, is that conversation on party lines shall be limited to five minutes. In the new directory just being distributed this re- gulation appears in the form of a re- quest. The five-minute limit will be ap- preciated by people who have party line instruments and are often kept waiting for long periods while social calls are be- ing exchanged oyer the wire. This town is no exception to the practice. It is con- stant. It is hoped that henceforth there Il be less visiting done over the wire.

EVIL
 AND ITS RESULTS

The Rev Percival H. Barker, of May wood, N. J.. thus pays his respects to one of the leading causes of the social evil:
 Flirting is a potent cause of that coarseness and bestial vulgarity which are doing so much at present to impair the beauty and diminish the power of American home life, degrading marriage to the low level of convenience and to the still lower level of sensuality. Flirta- tions foster the social evil.
 "If you don't know what company your daughter keeps or what time of night she turns in. your roar when gos- sips get busy will sound about as pathe- tic as the wheeze from a jewsharp.
 "Flirting undermines the home. And when home life, with its sanotities its calm and deep joys and sorrows, ceases to have its charm for us in America the greatest breakup and catastrophe in his- tory will follow.
 Tn respect to this menacing evil @ good rule for youth is: Resist the be- ginning of filtration. Filtration is the first step toward self degradation.
 "The man or woman who f1irts is matching a serpent blood that will one day wake into life to hiss and sting. He is rearing wild beasts of prey that af- terward will turn upon him and rend him. Shake 1t at it's birth. Flirtations dwarf mans views of life far more than they broaden them"

GAYNOR IS STILL
 DOOMED FOR GOVERNOR
Especial from United Pres


 New York. Sept. 19-With the Dem ocratfc State convention little more than a week away Mayor William J. ,Gaynor of New York is rapidly quhli- flying for the position of Gubernator- iaI Barkis. The prediction is freely made today that the Mayor, despite his earlier statement that nothing could prevent him from completing his Mayoralty terrn.s will allow the State standard to be placed in his hands. Todays predictions are based on two letters written by the Mayor In one of these to the secretary of the Sara toga County convention he is said to have written:
 1T shall have to carefully consider the matter in the near future"
 To the president of the Buffalo Po- litical Club he wrote: 'I must inform myself and act not for my own fu- trre and interest, but wholly as to what is right and best for others.
 Pressed for a direct answer today to the inquiry whether he would ac- cept the nomination if it was rendered him. the Mayor declined absolutely to discuss the matter.
