Eleanor Craig sat before her small
desk the pen in her hand moving bust
ly, when a voice broke across the still
ness of the room SO suddenly that she
jumped. The pen dropped from her
fingers. There was a sound as of
young pony galloping up the stairs, the
door was violently flung open, and
EleanOr's younger sister. Florence,
burst in, her hair flying, and general
air of distraction.
Eleanor. you're to come right down

She was about to gallop down again.

pose. If you accept him I'll leave the

thingl" The elder sister having re-
leased her arm, Florence clattered down
the stairs again.
Eleanor was much too preoccupied
to heed her sisters words. Mechani-
cally she washed her hands, arranged
her hair, and went down stairs.
Mr.. Boynton stopped pacing the
room as she entered and snilingly
extended his hand.

Craig, that your path will be a thorny
one indeed. Literatu means labor

even if one possesses that mysterious
quality called genius. Not everybody
has it who thinks he has, and the
longing the striving have all been

but her eyes were looking upwards to-

There was a moments silence, then

THE BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS
INFLUENCE

There was one point in the repub-
lean convention at Hartford a which
the State Business Mems association
manifested political power. and that
was when the nomination of an attor-
ney general was in order. with Harry
E. Back of Killingly as the only can
didate in the field 50 far as was
known The business men essayed
to find another candidate and with
out having done any primary work at
all John Fl. Light was chosen by a
majority of 272. According to The
Courant, Chairman Hill announced
their decision as follows
Total votes cast ...46 $50
Necessary for a choice. ....230
John Fl. Light ...........36
Harry e. Back had the other a.
Chairman Hill announced that John
III. Light of Norwalk was elected the
nominee of the party for attorney gen
eral.
And the State Business Mems asso-
citation took exception to the declara-
ton of The Bulletin that it was in
politics up to its neck, and the sec
rotary interpreted it as IAN insult to
every business man in the state
Good gracious! Doesn't ne know that
every live citizen is in politics up to
his neck. if he is in the swim, and
that to be out of politics is rather
the more discredita Bile of the two?

ment than this, but the combination
was too much for him

LONG DISTANCE cARPING.

This is what the Meriden Journal
calls the criticism of the State School
for Boys located there, and it speaks
highly of the Institution, saying:
we venture the statement that no
school in New England of q similar
sort stands as high as that which is
located here.
Practically all of the credit for this
condition of affairs is due to the able
manner in which Mr.. Williams con-
ducts affairs. He keeps perfect disci-
pline and still manages to retain the
regard OF the boys, for they know that
he will use them right. His honor
system has done more to help boys
who started on the downward path
into the ways of rectitude than any
thing yet devised. He is firm but fair
This is a first class endorsement of
the school, and. being true, it is it's
best defence. Our Meriden contem-
porary should not worry about the
influence of the defamers Of such a
weu-con Quoted school as this. 1t is
the kind Of an institution which should
invite the deepest probing, for the
more that is known about it. the firmer
hold it's must have upon the people.
Long distance carpins should help
more than hinder a school so excel
lently mana ged

TROUT ALMOST KILL A DOG.

Animals Shaggy Coat.

Wallace Short has a dog It's name
is Skip. 1t was long haired but it
isn't any more. This morning it went
fishing. Short said no. but the dog
said yes. and then it took a flying lea D
and with a bow-wow of delight landed
in the center of one of the pools of
Frank Drumboller's trout hatchery on
the Tranquility turnpike. The dog
was a. bit hungry and when it jun ped
it had it's gaze fixed on a large trout
that had been baskfng in the sun, with
bread crumb near by.
The dog had a long shaggy coat
when it entered the pool 1t had seen
but one, and no means of knowing
or even suspecting there were 1000
other trout in the same pool all full
grown and hungry, for it was feeding
time. Scarcely had Skip struck the
water when 1t began to bark for help.
Short and Drumboller ran to the edge
of the pool and what they saw made
their eyes pop
The thousands of trout had massed
themselves about the dog. and swim
ming around and around had enguIfed
him in a perfect picsatoriaI whirlpool.
Occasionally one of the large fish
would make a side leap and take bite
at the dog. Skip was in a bad way
when the men arrived. The silent
mass of fish gradually would have
forced him under the water. He had
hairless Mexican dog. The secret
was that Skip suffered from a skin
affection and his master had rubbed
him with olive oil, appetizing to the
fish. So they almost skinned him.

The Trackless Trolley.

Every year, and almost as regularly
a the coming Of the Christmastide. ap-
pears a notice in the technical press of
some new type Of the trackless trolley.
Scarcely a year in the past fifteen has
gone by without the announcement of
a least one variety, so that it has come
to be an annual feature. both here and
abroad The idea has been better ac
cepted on the Continent than in AmeTi-
ca, for their roads are superior to ours;
but beyond its use on short runs,
where the traffic is not heavy. it does
not appear to possess any special adj
vantage over the auto-bus system. 1t
is a well known fact that the amount
of energy required per ton mile is twice
q s great on a good road as on rails. and
this together with the additional diff
culties entailad by the complicated
overhead work necesstated on lines
where trackieS trolleys are used. would
seem TO make the prospect for this sys-
tenn rather poor. The development
now pushing the automobile bus to the
fore, and the strong possibility of this
type ultimately supplantiug the pres
ent trolley system, may be taken TO in
dicate that when someone at last in
vents really practical trolley without
tracks it will find its principal COM
petitor in the auto bus, and such a riv-
airy could only result disastrously for

party went out of power in 1895, and
the obligations Of recent date have been
incurred for large purposes of public
welfare that have the endorsement of
the people without regard to party.
Good roads are now universally de-
manded more and better public build
ings. liberal advance to the cause Of
education, widened efforts in humane
work, more generous relief of sufferers
no one ventures a partisan objection
to these evidences of better and more
intelligent living.
We commend most heartily the noble
work being done by the state of Con-
nectfCut for the prevention and cure Of
tuberculosis. and recommend a liberal
appropriation by the legislature for it's
continuance and enlargement.
In accordance with the progressive
spirit of the twentieth century, the re-
publican party pledges itself to the
adoption of q practical measure for the
supervision and control of public SER
vice corporations in such manner that
the welfare of the people shall be the
first concern and be fully protected and
that these indispensable utilities shall
be conducted alike for the benefit of
the public and their shareholders-two
parties whose interests under wise
manag ement are not antagonistic.
The establishment of $4,000 as the
limitation of damages for death should
be abolished.
The workingmen subjected to perils
not existing when our present laws
we're adopted should have the protec-

we pledge ourselves to the enactment
of laws to meet this humane end.
The governor of Connecticut shall
have a real veto, to be set aside only
by a vote of tWo-thirds of each branch

should be enacted rs soon as possible.
The incoming Legislature should give
itself promptly and faithfully to the
duty laid upon it by the constitution
Of the United States to redistrict the
state as nearly as practicable into dis
