Gsniuo and Mediocrity.

Corneille did not speak correctly the
language of which he was such mas
ter. Descartes was silent in mixed
society. Themistocles, when asked to
play on lutte. said, Il cannot fiddle,
but [ can make little village into a
great city" Addison was unable tc
converse in company. Virgil was heavy
colloquially. La Fontaine was coarse
and stupid when surrounded by men.
The Countess of Pembroke had been
often heard to say OF Chaucer that his
silence was more agreeable to her
than his conversation. Socrates, cele~
brated for his written orations, was SO
timid that he never yentured to speak
In public. Dryden said that he was
unfit for company. Hence it has been
remarked. 'Mediocrity can talk; it is
for genius to observe"

ton since Lincoln's is printed on the back
of the red and green Fels-Naptha soap

Fels-Naptha in washing clothes.
1t is also different way of washing.
1t has freed millions of women from wash

slavery to the old back-breaking, health
wrecking methods which used to be
thought necessary.
Are you still slave to these old-fash-
Toned methods, drudging away every wash
day, wasting your time and your work and
wearing out clothes before their timer
Then stop. Use Fels-Naptha. Wash your
clothes in the new and easy way in cool or
lukewarm water, summer or winter, with
out boiling or hard rubbing. Easy directions

dreamed was true.

Peter Kelley, formerly the proprietor
of the shady resort known as the Park
City hotel, in New London, is now
accused of being a chicken thief. Sew
eral weeks ago the farm Of Fred Cav
ilt in Waterford was visited by thieves
and about forty choice gamecoclss
were stolen They are said to have
been the choicest stock of a Hartford
faIcier and were farmed out to be
in readiness Tor the pit. The fighting
qualities of this stock was well known
throughout New England. as they were
the winners in several cooking mains,
if all reports be true. This\despite
the fact that cockfShting is not legal
lied. But the assemblage of so many
pit birds on single farm would
lead to the opinion that there was an
occasional violation of law. although
it is just as lawful to keep game stock
as it is to keep Wyandottes. Orping
tons Or any other breed of poultry
But the gamecockS were at the GaVitt
farm at night and the next morning
many of them were missing, while
others were freed and fought and
killed each other.
Little Deputy Sheriff Tubbs vas call
ed into the case and he finally locat-
cd a couple Of the birds on the prem
wealth of Massachusetts. Mr.. Kelley
was arrested ON the charge of larceny
and held until requisition papers were
secured. He was then brought into
Connecticut and TO the town of Wa
tefford, where the alleged crime was
committed, and then and there he gave
bonds CT $1,000 for appearance next
Monday for trial
Although Kelley had the stolen birds
in his possession and WAS known to
have been in New London just before
the birds were stolen there are some
who do not believe that he is the fell
low who actually went into the coOps,
took the birds and then went away
with them in an automobile. He may
have been familiar with the whole
tritnsa elton. out there are others inn
plicated and every effort is being made
to locate the other fellows Some of
tI1.1se wanted may be in Massachusetts
not far from the Kelley home, but it
is believed that the real chicken thief.

who must nave been well acquainted
with the farm. IS some New London

ing proclivities in the city. of high

There are a number of sleuths at
