THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
LETTERS TO HIS WIFE

What got Lampower the hardest
was the discovery that she cared for
such stuff. He had always been proud
of her commonsense. When he had
written to her before they were mar
ried he had always been careful to
unloading too much alteration on pa
per for fear of her disliking it. And
now-she was cherishing these!
That was the most of his dismay
Lampower had q fair amount of con-
ceit so not for a minute did he worry
about Louise being in love with the
jenyfish who had written these letters
OF course, it hurt him to find that he
did not fill her life as completely as
he had thought and that she had for
gotten her dignity sufficiently to be
fascinated by these maunderings of an
imbecile.
His illusions went crashing all about
his ears as he sat mechanically piline
the letters up and then spreading them
out at random. Each time his eyes
caught a phrase or sentence he almost
snorted. And yet, as he told himself
one does not snort with a broken
heart, and assuredly his heart was not
broken.
Then, just as white-hot needles OF
anguish began to scar him and the
blood began to rush to his face, he
heard Louise come in. He got to his
feet with the letters in his hand and
stood before her. That she looked par
ticularly carefree and pink and bloom
ing was an added insult.
Lampower simply held the letters
out to her. What are these?' he in
quired in a repressed voice. 1t was
quite like a scene from a play, and he
felt it.
Louise behaved as he had expected
she would when confronted by expos
ure. She made a dash toward the let
tiers.

WATER DENIED FOR sATH-TUes

The notice given to the citizens of
Palmer, Mass, that the condition of
the town reservoir requires that the
consumers shall for the time being be
denied even bath-tub privileges shows
to what straits the drought has
brought that community, in which the
artesian-well plan of tiding over is
being pressed hurriedly, just as it is
with us. There is no doubt that
good deal of water is being wasted in
consequence of the bath-tub habit,
which is too frequently carried to ex-
cess, for the simple reason that the
bathers could keep just as clean with
half the water.
We all saw the picture of our sole
dependence. Fairview, that poor old
reservoir. which is showing a crater
that reminds one Of the craters seen
tslescopically in the moon; and who
would think last winter when the
drought was still severe it was sup
plying water for the stock on the
farms in the suburbs. and last July
was supplying a half hundred cart
loads of water daily to be evaporated
in few moments upon the hot pave
ments, to say nothing of the water sold
for power and cleansing purposes. 1t
is disappearing today, We are told by
the superintendent, at the rate of so
gallons per capita, or 400 gallons daily
for every family of FIVE; but since the
water for house use does not comprise
one-half the amount used, it is clear
that the per capita OF potable water
and water used for home work might
possibly be less than 40 gallons
per capita. This water question is
a big question, especially with refer
ence to how far the authorities shall

A Republican Loss in Connecticut.

In SO Connecticut towns a year ago
the republican vote was 30649 the
democratic 19,705. This year in the
same towns the figures for the cores
ponding local elections We're respect
lively 1892 and 1921. This shows a
republican falling off of 4.2S7 and A
democratic decrease of 1,444; the net
republican loss is 1888. In every
town there were neighborhood condi-
tons last Monday that would have to
be taken into consideration in serious
ly estimating the significance of this
detection, but it is fair to say that
so far as the figures show anything
they show an impaired republican po-
sition. In a total vote of 50.354 a
falling off of 1888 in the republican
poll is substantial. Four years ago,
with which year comparison on the
vote for governor may best be made
the total poll Of the two parties was
1a6,160, and the republican plurality
was only 20,60S. A change of only
1o.305 votes would have given the

KIDNEY TROUBLE SIMPLY YANISHES
The Most Severe Backache and Bladder Misery All Other
Distress Caused by Disordered Kidneys is Ended
Before You Realize

In all the world there is no man or
woman who can afford to neglect the
slightest kidney disorder for one
single day.
Kidney diseases are the most dan
gerous, because the first signs are
seen in other parts of the body before
anything wrong is noticed with the
kidneys themselves
Some of the symptoms, though,
cannot be mistaken; for instance, a
constant aching or misery in the
back, sides or loins, or headaches. and
dizzy spells nervous twitchings,
disturbed sleep, Unframed or puffy
eyelids heart pafpitations rheumatic
pains, weakness, bilious stomach or a

A Bio Difference.

The population of England and
Wales is 32500000. The population
of Denmark is 100000. But there
are nearly as many men, women and
children drawing their daily bread
from the soil in Denmark as there are
drawing sustenance direct from the
soil of England. This illustrates one
of the most striking differences be-
tween the two countries.
One-fifth of the population of Den
mark lives in Copenhagen; one-fifth
lives in country towns; three-fifths
live on the land. weight per
cent. of the population of England and
Wales live in cities and towns of more
than 10000 inhabitants; % per cent.
live in the country.
These figures are interesting to the
United States because this country
is gaining chiefly in urban population.

City Court judges.

Judge Mathewson of New Haven ad-
vocates the election of judges of the
city courts as all other city officials
are chosen rather than have the APP
pointment come from the Legislature.
The New Haven Union points out that
this is directly in line with home rule.
It seems absurd that the judge of the
Meriden court, for instance, should be
selected in Hartford when he serves
only the people of Meriden and is paid
by the people of Meriden. This is a
matter that directly concerns us even
more vitality than the election of Unit
ed States senators, for the people of a
city should be entirely free to elect
whom they please to preside over the
citys courts. Let's hope that Judge
Mathewson will receive enthusias site
support for this plan.-Meriden Jour

Lampower was a great believer In
individual rights and SO far as read-
ing his wife's correspondence was
concerned he would have been as like
~ to listen at keyholes or steal candy
from babies.
Still, his wife being away from
home, he wanted a list of books they
had made out together, SO he rum
aged in her desk to find it. When he
unfolded the paper he took to be the
list he found it closely written over in
a queer, jerky style, and 1t began,
My darling!" Now, in the first
place, 1t was not Lanrpowers writing.
In the second place, what right had
any man to call Louise his darling
Or she to let him? LAmpower, with
frowning brows and compressed lips,
unbelievingly and grinly read through
the amazing epistle. For 1T was amaZ-
ingi Lampower had written a few
love letters himself in the course Of a
tempestuous youthful existence, but
he never remembered bursting into
anything like this. 1t took his breath
away.
1.-The idiot" he said out loud as he
finished
He found he was clutching the paper
in both hands as though to tear it,
SO he smoothed it out carefully and re-
folded it. Then he found it had been
merely the top letter on a pile of sim
liar ones. They had lain in the far
recess of the pigeonhole. Feeling
he drew out all the letters and went
that he might as we'll know the worst,
through them. They were all In the
same writing, but the form of address
varied Sometimes they began Sweet
heart or MY own" and once it was
just Dear One!"

J. r. Clifford Had New Legal Expert

When an attorney in good standing
is held and jailed for contempt of court
for insisting that the court shall sub
pOena witnesses In case In which be
has been retained IS counsel, 1t Is OBJ
vious that there is something wrong
with the thinking apparatus Of the
dispensers Of justice.
1t was In such q court that J. r. Cliff
ford Of Martinsburg, W. Va, editor
Of the Pioneer Press and one Of the
leading Negro lawyers in West Vir-
ginia, was recently victim Of mis-
carriage Of justice in that state and
was thrust into Jail and kept there for
one hour and twenty-nine minutes.
The United States commissioner, a
man named Lemen. charged Mr.. Cliff
ford with being in contempt Of court
because he insisted that he summon
eight witnesses to testify for man
whom he was defending. charged with
q trivial offense. Upon the release Of
Mr.. Clifford. which resulted from the
howl raised by leading white citizens
Of Martinsburg and the editors Of the
local press. he freed his client without
rumpling an eyelash. He should nov
work on that United States commits
