 II believe you want a job winding the clock or iperintending q damper in stovpipe. There's spring wagon In the shed out there and here's can of paint and brush. Suppose you go and paint that wagon"
 II noticed that wagon as came to the house and was surprised that you would give 1t room on your place. New CT in a long life of ups and downs have I seen a more dtsreputable wagon. You don't mean. to tell me, soberly and earnestly. that you intend to use such utation. A man of your standing can't afford to be seen in such a rig. My dear sir, you'd be the talk of the town.
 gro paint such trap would be n sheer waste of valuable linseed oil and pigment. That wagon is disgracef.11 now, but it would be worse if 1t was painted Tie paint would merely serve to attract the curious attention of the general public to it's infirmities.
 eff painted tl1at wagon red. as you suggest, the alley would be filled with a jeering crowd all day long. Give that wagon away to some poor but deserv- ing man and buy yourself new one. Don't lrumiliate your friends and fam fly by decorating that sinela ncholy ruin with red paint Think up some sensi- ole task for me to do-something that a man can accomplish without a sac- rifice of his self respect. If fooled around half day painting that old wagon I'd never again be able to hold up my head in polite society"
 You're the worst fraud I've seen in a coon's age" remarked Riprapp. If you go into the barn you will find about ten feet of excellent new rope. You will also see a good strong rafter overhead. bought that Tafter myself and know it's a good one
 s.Tie one end of the rope around the rafter and the other around your neck and jump off a chair you will see just by the buggy. Then you will be doing something really useful and yill retain your self t."--Chicago News.

A BORDEN viEvs, :

The St. Albans Messenxer is printed pretty near the Canadian lins and is b rather surprising to hnd 1t endors- ing the Hartford Courants visNu of reciprocity with Canada. The eIitor of The Messenger says:
 "The whole argument simply points ous how absurd iC is to rrefend thAtta , line between Canada and the Uni. Cd States is any different in econo.ric ef- feet from line between Vernon. and Nevada. q x when our farmer nsighbors tsxin more keenly to app .eciate the fact that we are continental people and that all of us, on either side ot the line. must live and flourish by what the continent can be made to bring forth they will see this .reciproeiIy proposition in a new light. America and Canada today. practically dtsiding the great North American continent between them, have the opportunity of history to enter upon reciprocal trade policy that will put the two thousand years of European tariff to the blush. The western hemisphere world a lesson.
 
 pie of reciprocity before 1t is too late. We can amend schedules, if need be, afterward. If it proves that the farm CT Is getting an unfair part of the give and take. we can hope to modify that part of the agreement >in his favor. But. if we let the hour pass and do nothing, Canada, soon risen to equal power. and pride with us, will no long CT be open to approach. And then we shall have sacrificed great national benefit to a small neighborhood inter- est.

PASSAGE OF THE WEEKS BILL

It appears to be an assured fact that the Weeks bill for the conserva~ tion of the Appalachian and White mountain forest reserves will be pass ed before congress adjourns.
 The passage of this bill will mean, within five years, an investment by the government of s11,000.000 in the purchase of forest areas to be under the control of the department of agri- culture It will also mean co-opera- ton between the national and state governments for protection against forest fires It means the. salvation of our timberlands. and of one of the country's most beautiful and valuable recreation grounds. Furthermore, it means checking drought and freshet along the navigable streams which rise in those mountains. upon which streams industries with an annual product of more than s2O0,o00, ,0OO are dependent.
 This is movement which was started by the Boston chamber of commerce tesn years ago. but the pres ent measure was drawn in 1909 Be- hind this bill the New England gov- ernors, press and public concentrated their energies 1t was at this time that the newly organized Boston Merchants association (since consol- dated with the chamber of commerce. began to take active part, and since then until today 1t has been the real leader of the magnificent campaign
 On June 24. 1910, the bill passed the house, but not until a brilliant debate had lasted until midnight. Meanwhile Ehe bill was battered about in the senate for three days and a determined filiouster was inaugurated by Senator Burton and others from the west Al last # became evident that the bill could not be passed, it being the last day of the session, and finally Senator Brandegee obtained unanimous con- sent to vote on the bill February 15, 1911.
 Ever since then the campaign has gone on quietly and effectively. A few weeks ago, at the request of the Boston chamber of commerce, Sena- tor Crane made poll of the senate which showed that the result would probably be favorable.
 The climax came in the work of the Boston chamber of commerce with commercial organizations throughou, the country, and before the bill came to vote this body had obtained as surances from nearly sixty leading cities all through the nation, even to the Pacific coast that they would ask their senators to vote for the bill IL is generally believed that this was the crowning effort, and the Boston chamber is receiving congratulations right and left for it's effective leader ship of the final campaign after the Dill had failed so many times

You take this stove poliyh," said Riprapp to the hard luck cftnxen, who had been given q day's work as a. mat Eter of carity, rand so down in the base ment ana blacken the iron parts of the furnace.r
 ~Of course, I'll do 1t if you insist up- on it." replied the wayfarer, ''but it would be a mere waste of effort. like to work as well as any man, but want to do something useful, some thing that will show results. don't like to be classed with Sisyphus Dr any man of that stamp. There isn't any more sense in polishing the iron work of a furnace than there would be in painting the inside of a pump. And then as soon as you made fire in your furnace the house would be filled with dfsgusing odors and the nefghlbors would talk and the health department woud send around men in uniforms and your wife would see a lawyer about a divorce. You'd better let that furnace slide and give me some use- ful work
 well maybe you're right said Rip rapp. aniably. wen let the furnace go. The back yard Is pretty badly lit- tered with rubbish. You may gather up all that stuffff and pile 1t up by the barn."
 That would be useful employment f. the month was April, but in February it's just q waste of time. There's no sense in cleaning up your premises be- fore spring opens. Then it all has to be done over again, for the equinoctial gales will blow the pile all to thunder and scatter those tin cans and things just as they were before you gathered them up.
 Say, why don't you give me some task that will be of service to mankind something that will make the worl brighter and better--sometfing that will draw upon my remarkable mental and physical resources, and then just watch me hump myself? But don't ask me to do useless, ridiculous things

Winter Weather at Leekport, N. Y.

MT. Editor: We have now been in Lockport sixty-one days and on thirty three days there has been some storm, on twenty days there ,i1as been snow and thirteen rain. Most of the storms have been light, but twice from six to eight inches of snow fell. Most of the time when there was no storm 1t has been cloudy, and of real bright sum- shiny days but few. The weather has been hild here; there has been no the lower parts of the city twice zero and little below has been recorded. We are almost twelve miles from Lake Ontario and Lake Erie is twenty five miles west. These great lakes keep the temperature quite uniform and probably cause a good deal of the cloudy weather and light storms. Most of the winds are from the west and there Is but little frost in the ground.
 This is a pretty city, especially in summer it must be. There are DO hills but the land fs rolling and gives good drainage. I have not seen a hill as high as Jail Hill in this part of the state. The streets are straight and the main streets wide and the cross streets usually cross the main at right angles On all but the center of the city the streets have a row of maple trees on each side, and some of the wider ones have a double row. Nine-tenths of the l from three to ten feet back from the curbing and the trees set in the mar gin between the walk and curb. Where there are two rows they are placed one on each side. Some of the streets have the appearance of narrow parks. The population is a little over seventeen thousand. It is the county seat, with a fine courthouse, and the county courts are held here.
 The Erie canal, starting at the Mag ara river, runs through the middle of the city. The state of New York is spending over one hundred millions of dollars to widen and deepen the canal and several millions will be spent here and near here. The first locks are here, 3 series of five, with total fall of fifty or moro feet. These locks have to be removed and two large ones built in their place. From here for several miles west the canal is through solid rock. and in places, especially where the locks are to be, the rock has to be blasted to a depth of twenty five feet There are steam shovels in use nearly as powerful as those used on the Pan anna canal Some of the blasts are so heavy that houses mile away are badly shaken. Most of the work has to be done in the winter. The canal closes before hard freezing weather be- gins in the late fall and remains closed with the water drawn of, till almost May first. The work goes. on seven days in the week and twenty foti1 hours of the day, the workmen being divided into three shifts of eight hours each
 We are on the border of the great fruit belt which extends east from hers for seventy or more miles with Q width of over thirty miles. No good apples are seen in the stores here that arg grown about here. When the apples are gathered in the fall if not sllipyeu away, they are put in cold storage houses and kept at 8. temperature just above freezing point There are fine large storage houses in the city. Some apples are being shipped out now ana the best grades are worth five and 2

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR In Favor of Washington Street Trolley

MT. Editor: After resding your arti- ole in The Bulletin of February 10th, concerning the petition of the Nor wich, Colchester and Hartford Trac- tion company for permission to lay their tracks through Washington and other streets in Norwich, I beg to an- nource that the writer, g. resident and taxpayer on Washington street, is very much in favor of having trolley car accommodations through said street. 1 consider 1t is what we most need. and will add more to the universal comic. as well as to land value along Wash ington street than anything else can do. We need the trolley and ought to have it. Why not let this company build it, and so lend our help toward establishing another great highway to Hartford, our capital city. This line may later prove to be an important link in the mighty chain that shall bind all our New England cities and towns together in one great commer- cial brotherhood for mutual good.
