Is a House a Home?

1t is a trite and also trivial English
fling at the French language that it
has no word for home" the implca-
ton being that dOmesticity is absent
from Gallo life International inter
course and better acquaintance have,
of course, long ago destroyed that i'll
fusion, so far as it existed at all among
the Informed. Now an English critic
makes the comment that Americans
call a house a home
1t is somewhat difficult to perceive
the sting in this. The Englishma ms
tradition is that his house is his cas-
tie. 1t is perhaps true that common
phrase in the United States is that a
man has lovely home" by which
is meant merely that he 1wGlls in a
costly house. The term is IF wide
use; probably it is current frorl the
Atlantic TO the Pacific. 1t is not a
democratic term, for it implies a rec
ogniiton of the aristocracy of wealth.
Of course there is no such institution
recognized or unrecOgniZed, in this re-
public, unless it be the aristocracy of
brains or character, and in either case
the true aristocrat is in reality the
most liberal democrat, for he best can
afford to ignore all conventional dis
tinctions.
The owner of city mansion. of a
country estate, of a marble cottage by
the sea, of a private railway car and
of a palatial yacht may amid all his
possessions have no home. He may
have such domestic luxuries as a wife
sojourning in Nevada awaiting alimo-
ny, a son in college and a daughter
in a finishing school and vet be home
less. The most luxurious club and
attentive valet are not a substitute
for the place that has no life.-Wash-

GATHERS THE TAXES.
Shelton's Collector Lets No Delinquent
Property Owner Escape

In E. w. Kneen, Shelton believes
she has the champion collector of
taxes and bases this view upon the
achievements of Mr.. Kneen as they
appear upon record. For several years
or in fact every year prior to Mr..
kneen's election to this important po-
sition, there were amounts, larger or
smaller as the case might be, re-
manning upon the tax books uncollect-
ed and these constantly increased un-
til the aggregate was a very consider
able sum. From the time Mr.. kneen
took the Office his constant aim has
been to reduce this balance and to
clear up the books. This latter he fl
the pleasure of knowing that the past
is obliterated, and this year he closes
the fiscal year with an absolutely
clean slate The back taxes were dis
posed of some years ago. and for the
past few years Mr. Kneen has col
lected all the taxes, but the present
year is the first in which he has not
only collected every dollar of the tax
(some S45.000). but there is not a sin
gle lien upon the town record books
for unpaid taxes for the present year.
Of course, some cities, where the col
lector takes the collection as a mat
ter of business and collects all that
he can and has Nhe rest abated, might
come forward and say that the books
are cleared up, but this is not the
case in Shelton, where every dollar of
the tax assessed and placed on the
collectors books has been collected
with no a batement and no change eX-
cept such as always occurs through
clerical error or error on the part of
the assessors This makes the record
of which Shelton boasts as being the
best possible.-Ansonia Sentinel

From TifITs to Boston.

A dramatic example of the operations
of the secret service is furnished by
the recovery in Boston of Russian bank
notes stolen from the sub treasury at
Tifiis three years ago and the arrest
of q man who undoubtedly had possess
sion of some of the money and is sus-
pected to have been a party to the
theft. The aid of the government at
Washington was sought less than a
month ago. and Chief Wilkie took per-
sonal charge of the quest. The task
does not seem to have been more than
ordinarily difficult for his skilled
sleuths. Nevertheless their work illus
trates admirably the resources of the
secret service division for ready in
formation and it's energy. The Rus
SLAMS themselves, famed as they are for
such work, could not have made more
credttable showing. The circumstances
Of the theft were not made known to
Washing ton, but a list of the notes was
forwarded by the Russian authorities
Copies were sent to exchange bankers:
and a lot of fifteen was soon traced
to a Boston, agency, where the posses
sor was unprecedented while securing

A Poor Way to Spend Money.

pose to spend five or six millions each

celebrate that event with some cere-

boosting themselves, the "terminai'

MIR, Lakes Success.

Former Lieutenant Governor Everett
j. Lake and his army of supporters
have just reasons to be jubiant over.
the result of the more recent caucuses.
The result of these meetings settles
beyond doubt who the next republican
candidate for governor will be. The
result of the caucuses in the larger
cities plainly shows that the sentiment
of the republican party in Connecticut
is for Everett j. Lake for governor,
and foreshadoWs his nomination by a
good majority. In capturing the large
city delegations Mr.. Lake has made q
most successful endeavor and put in
his work where it was likely to be the
most resourceful. Mr.. Lake is to be
congratulated and he may rest assured
that the supporters who have now
practically won the nomination for him
will continue their energy in behalf of
his election.-Norwalk Hour
