complained of their lot in life. OF
course, they read cheap novels ON the
sly, just as the person with taste
for drugs can find ways of satisfying
his appetite, but the mother told
everyone of her success in breaking
up the habit.
'All you have TO do is to lay down
the law and see that it is obeyed,"
she said, but with the latter part of
her statement she had the difficulty.
At the age of sixteen one daughter
ran away with a worthless boy and
the other made bad marriage later
on. They bitterly repented of their
folly when too late, but both are
addicted to reading dozens of trashy
novels each year to the present day.
The woe-begone heroines of the fashy
pages are wept over as of yore and
hOusework and children have to wait
until the end Of the fascinating story
is reached.
Mothers, do keep some sweet, pure,
ennobling literature for the children,
for it costs very little, and then read
it with them Educate them early in
life to love the things that are pure
and lovely and Of good report if you
wan to keep them unspotted from the
world. Let nothing trashy find a
place on the girls bookshelf and you
will never be troubled with false
ideas crowding out your careful
teaching. 1t is the same old admoni-
ton, Train up child in the way he

There is another woman-also
thirty. Annie does her laundry
work. She is pretty, winsome and re-
fined. Her husband earns three thous-
and dollars year, but the pretty
wife cannot make ends meet with it.
No, she has no children, she says,
and, besides, "we cannot afford child
rem" Cook? No. Sew? No. But
she is lady" so refined, so pretty,
and she plays bridge wonderfully
and dresses divinely. Common? No,
indeed Coarse? Bless you, no!
But down in the bottom of your
heart, tell me: which of these two
women, think you, comes closes to
the original design for woman?

Don't you like to meet them-the
people you call my kind of folks?''
Aren't you glad there are some of
them in the world? And aren't they
easy to get acquainted with? You
know them instinctively or intuitive-
ly right at first-you feel that they
are old friends.
Of course, you and they may differ
on minor points and details, but on
the principal, the big issues, you
are agreed. You have the same view
point. In taste and temperament
they may be just enough different
from you to keep them from becom-
ing monOtonous, but they have the
same human sympathy and they ap-
ply the same kind of common sense
to the affairs Of life.
There are a lot of the other kind
of fOlks-some of them good sort
but they never see things as you do.
They are always on the other side
OF the notwithstanding honestly
so, sometimes just because of birth,
education and training, sometimes for
pOlicy's sake.
But, while they are pleasant, po-
lite, thoughtful, they are not cOngen-
lai. In your relation with them there
is lack Of the feeling of perfect
sympathy and cOmradeship. In their
company you feel certain restraint
you feel that there are some sub
jects which had best not be men,
toned, for, Of course, they will not
look at them as you do. You will
defend your opinion, however, every
time the occasion demands it, but
when you know that you can never
win the other kind of folks to your
way of thinking and that you can
never go their way, you feel that it
is better just politely to skim along
on the smooth surface of small talk
and not unnecessarily bring up the
really important topics.
This world would be a tiresome,
dreary place, desert, without them
the congenial, lovable, warm
bloded, inspiring people-your kind

THE GIRLS BOOK SHELF.

A Vile Book Habit is as Bad as the
Liquor Habit.
MY girls are the greatest readers
you ever saw, said busy Mrs c.
Some people have lots of trouble
with their girls wanting to CAD about
but mine are satisfied if they can
just have a book and not be bother
ed. I suppose ought to make them
do a little more houCework, but as
long as they don't worry me like
some girls do their mothers, 1 can
manage very we'll alone.
What do they read?" asked a
visitor.
ooh, everything. One of the neigh
bors has big trunk filed with books
and they borrow them right along.
Sometimes they read the same ones
over again if they don't have new
ones"
II suppose they get a great many
books out of the new public library?''
"Why, no; and it's funny they
don't. They say the books in the
library are dry and hard to read.
I'm often surprised that they don't
long walk"
The long walk" was accounted for
when the visitor saw the stack Of
books On the sitting room table. 1t
was not the walk at ali, but the fact
that the girls had acquired taste for
such books as the library trustees
would not have permitted in the
building. When young girls are
brought up on blood and thunder
stories it is hard to cntice them to
good poetry, history and descriptive
books.
do you read the books, too?H
asked the visitor.
Mercy no! I don't have time for
reading. Half the time l don't glance
through the papers, let alone read a
book"
aren't you afraid your children
may read trashy books? l notice
that a great many of the books on
your table are paperbacked novels
that I would not allow in my house.
A book may have paper back and
be a good one, but those over there
are the worst things any person could
read. 1t really seems terrible to me
that sweet, innocent young girls
should be exposed to such dangers.
Just take a glance through one of
them You will find profane
language, vulgar expressions, and
suggestive thoughts of the worst
type. The vile book habit is as bad
as the liquor habit, almost, for it
gives girls wrong ideas of life and
units them for everything sensible
and good"
For the first time the mother tho
roughly examined the books and the
result was wholesale condemnation
of all fiction. She forbade the girls
reading anything and kept them so
busy at housework and sewing as~to
make them rebellious and stubborn.
With their dreamy and high flown
ideas CLEANED from books telling of
dukes and court life, they found the
home duties drudgery and bitterly

ALDERMEN WILL OPPOSE TROLLEY
 ROADS SCHEME

The aldermanic street committee voted last night to go to Hartford next Wednesday morning in opposition to the petition of the Bridgeport & Dan tracks as far south in Main street as Terry Place where the present ter minal of the Connecticut Co.'S lines are located. The matter will be given a hearing before the railroad commis- sion and it comes before that body in the form of an appeal from this city's failure to act in the matter The aldermen have held up the mat ter because they did not want to sub ject the people residing along North Main street to condition whereby they would have to pay two fares to get into the center of the city. It was also represented to the aldermen that the Bridgeport & Danbury road would run it's ears with a headway of one hour to connect with those of the Connecticut Co. running on a ten minute headway.
 The North Enders have represented that such a service would be of no benefit to ther.' and that the many acres of land be ween Terry Place and the Trumbull Ii. would develop very slowly as residential sites.
 The Bridgeport & Danbury Railroad Go have the support of a large num- Der of Trumbull, Monroe and New town property owners who don't care where the lines of the two railroads meet as long as they get trolley ser vice.
 They claim that they are going to be given a chance to develop such as they never dreamed of.
 Many of the towns above mentioned are very bitter against the New Ha- ven Road which controls the Con necticut Co. They say, "The New Haven road has given us the poorest of steam car service and now they are standing in the way of our having a trolley. This company could have easily given Long Hill trolley service anytime in the past foua years and it's predecessor The Connecticut Rail- way & Lighting Co. held franchise to build such line for many years and never used it.''
 As the meeting of the railroad com mission will be held at Il o'clock next Wednesday morning the committee voted to go on the 7:5S train from this city in order to be there on time. AL derman Jackson cautioned his collea- gues against taking the train which leaves here at 9:21 on the ground that the slightest delay might mean that the committee would be too late for the hearing.

also be unique.
 There is nothing in the way Of New England's assets which would be like ly to respond so readily and gener- ously to the proper promotlve treat ment as the summer-resort business. It is large, and it is unique, but it is to be said that it now exhibits the need of new methods and different conduct Many causes have Operat- ed to change its character within the past few years, and none more than the rise of the automobile. The man. agers of the railroad doing the bulk of the summer-resort business in New England assert that at some points as many as from 60 to 70 per cent. of the visitors arrive in their own motor cars. This fact is significant of the situation. The motor car promotes fleXibility in summer resOrting. It makes frequent change not only pos sibIe and easy but almost inevitable.
 Many of the resort houses have be-

come of indifferent quality through wear and tear and the rise of new de- mands The present-day reSorter is not inclined to accept that which once he was satisfied with, in room or ta- ble accommoda tions. A too large proportion of the summer hotels have not kept up with the times. They should be rebuilt and their menus should be radically reformed. There is decided tendency also to look with less favor upon the resorts that are located remote from lines of travel and towns. The auto has brought this about also Whereas in the old days, when it was necessary to rely upon the horse for local trav-
 el, people resigned themselves to iso- lation for the sake of being near the mountains or the fine beaches, they are now less inclined to do so. The motor car has changed that. Now

daily touch with the natural beauties of all the country within a radius of 50 miles, or even more.
 So the towns in the vicinity of re- sort areas are likely to be given more consideration. This is a mere detail of reconstruction. The great fact is that the mountain and seacoast re- gions in New England are for 1t an asset of the greatest value. actual ard potential, and there are plenty of in dications that they are to be intelli- gently developed
 No competent estimate of the mou- ey value of the summer business in New England has been made, and it is difficult to even make an intelli- gent guess. If we were to estima te that not less than 50,000 people go to the White Mountain region in New Hampshire, each season, for a stay of a week or longer, we would prob ably be guessing well under the fact. But 50,000 people staying a week or more must of necessity expend moro

WARNNG TO RAILROAD MEN.

Look out for severe and even dan gsrors kidney and bladder trouble resulting from years of railroadiny. Geo. E. Bell, 63e Third St, Fort Wayne, Ind. was many years 9 con- 5uctor on the Nickel Plate. He says:
 Twenty years of railroading left my Kidneys in terrible condition. There was a continual pain across my back and hips and my kidneys gave me much distress. and the action of my bladder was frequent and most pain full I got a supply of Foley Kidney Pills and the first bottle made a won Gerful improvement and four bottles cured me completely.

sUMMERING IN NEW ENGLAND.
One of the greatest natural assets of

One of the greatest natural assets of New England is it's adaptability for summer residence. This is not a new ly discovered asset, but it is evident that 1t is to be promoted in a new and better way, and that the develop ment is to be along lines not until re- gently developed.
 The areas especially adapted for summer residence have not been util- ized to the extent of 10 per cent. probably not to the extent of 1 per cent. In this particular New Eng land has no rival in America. What ever may be said of other regions. and there are several regions that present very great Summer-resort attractive ness. there are no sections that in any sense compete with New Eng land.

THE NEXT WAR CRY.
What the Republicans VIII Face in
Next Campaign.

Next Campaign.
During the debate in the Senate in
the cotton bill Tuesday Senator Cum.
mings, an Insurgent Republican
from Iowa, speaking on the amend
ment which he proposes to offer re-
ducing the duties on iron and steel
declared that the war cry of the next
campaign would be "are we to have
protection for the manufacturer and
free trade for the farmer?" He de.
clared the Republican party would
have to answer that question to the
country.
"The great fight in the coming Ma.
tional Convention" he predicted
"will not be over candidate, but
over the platform as to what protec'
ton Is"
Mr.. Cummings made light Of the
tariff board, declaring he "coulc
prove by evidence far superior to the
conclusions of any tariff board or any
outside investigating body, that the
reductions he proposed in the iron
and steel schedule Of the tariff law
were reasonable"
Senator Dixon, of Montana, ex.
pressed the opinion that the Repub'
lican party would not ibe able tc
write tariff law which the people
would accept, granting protection tc
one part of the nation and placing
the other part on a free trade basis
