During the next few evenings

marked an unwonted air of excite
ment among the patrons, and mys-
terious, hasty comings and goings,
these Journeys being performed
by Squire Mehaffey and others
known as lieutenants of McAdoo
and Haggin. Also several men
prominent in the politics of the
|neighboring wards were seen to
enter the back room and remain
there long time, closeted with
Bob and the saloon-keeper. The
habitues decided that Bob Nc

been SO proud. For the first time
in his life his strength seemed to

He looked again at the girl, who

The bystanders in the scene did
not count with him, he had not
given them a thought. The girl
only had not quailed before him.
AS he looked, a deep personal hat
red of her grew up in his heart,
not because of that for which she
stood but because something had
given her a strength of spirit
which his Jealous own could not
break. He reached his clenched
fist toward her.

growled savagely.

said contemptuously. Then, "Ah!"
she cried, you are hurt" 1t was
true. The flesh under his arm,

scorched from the hot steel that
had passed so closely to it. In his
anger he had not thought of it.

/ Memorial day all records We're brok-

if they do not improve, an agitation
for a safe and sane Memorial day will
be in order. You have not noticed
the record. Here it is as given by the
Waterbury American:
I'm wflIimantic a boy was killed /;
in Baltimore one man was crushed to
death while three others were serious
ly injured; in Brooklyn a woman re-
ceived fatal injuries; in New York a

a man of so met his death under the
wheels; in Pennington a car broke its
owners leg and hurled a young wo-
man into the river; in Bennington,

took one mans life;' in Chester, Pa,
an exploding tire killed Frank Mar
shall after smashing his face out of
all human sembIance, and a San
Francisco car broke an ankle for the
mayor of that city. There We're other
accidents, of course, but these were
the principal accidents of the day.
None of these accidents was caused
by a commercial vehicle. All occurred

horses of the country killed just as
many. for it has no truth in it. The

A NEW THOUGHT OF OLD SOL

Governor Mclean has a way of
"a wing things that are attractive as
well as impressive and 1t is not
strange that everything he writes is
in quick demand by the people. In
his Memorial day address at Ansonia,
he said:

public as composed of mature and
hardened warriors. But see here on

does he know of the intrigues and
jealousies of states? What does he
know about the vaulting ambitions of
the pigheaided gentlemen in high
places? What does he know about the
disease and death and horrors of war :?
And yet the great rebellion was put
down and the nation saved by boys;
100000 of them II years of age, and
the average of the 100000 less than
10 years of age Just brave, obedi-
ent, loving boys carried the enamel

tips from the Potomac to the gulf and
pinned it, drenched in their own
blood, on the scattered tents of seces-
sion. / want to emphasize the fact
today that the tools that saved the

Thousands of them filled unmarked
graves; some came back to die of
disease; some still live. and they can
not live too long or too well to please
their fellow men,

nize the truth of this statement, and

half a yard in width, is at the center
of the cloth, thus doing away with

it is quite possible to carry out any

An excellent cleaning soap is easily
made. Take a cake, laundry size, of

and mix it well with three ounces of

then add three and half quarts of
warm water and when the mixture is
cold add a scant ounce of pure am
