 Wishing to purchase some vegetables from a passing peddler, Mrs. Sheay whose home is on the upper floor of 23 Ann street, came down stairs, tak- ing s23 with her. Not wishing to carry this money in her hand, she left the "roll'' on the stairway. Then she bought her vegetables and sent the peddler up stairs ahead of her to deliver them.
 When Mrs. Shea followed, she mo- ticed that the s23 was missing. She immediately demanded Of the peddIer if he had seen her money. He said not. but she insisted. She made him accompany her, whffe a search was made. Finally the peddIer, who seem ed endowed with second sight, sug- gested that the money might possibly be behind a trunk. They looked ard found s14 of it. The peddler then said goodbye and Mrs. Shea notified the police.

Commentator Pouring in On
 Senator Paddock

Commentator continues to pour in upon Senator Garry Paddock for his excellent record in the General As- sembly just closed and particularly for his activity in behalf of measures de- signed in the interests of fair play to labor.
 Here are two specimens of what the Senator is receiving almost daily: Hartford, Conn.,. October g, 1911. My Dear Mr.. Paddock:
 I wish to compliment you for the splendid record you have made for yourself in the 1911 session of the Gen. eral Assembly, in your efforts to se- cure progressive legislation in the in terests of the common people; more particularly. of your attitude towards labor measures intended to improve the conditions of the wage-earners of this state. During the entire session you have stood the test imposed upon you by the organized workingmen of the state, you have been true in all instances to the wage earning class. I have been a volunteer attendant to all sessions of the General Assembly since 1895 and have raised my voice in behalf of the toilers of Connecticut during that time, and let me say in all that period of time, no member of the legislature, be he a Republican, a Democrat or Socialist, could have ac- COI1EHISucO uIOTC HI lll0 IuIGIGSl OI lu0 working class than you as a trade un- ionist have tried to do.
 The workingmen in your district who have made it possible for you to be nominated and elected should be proud Of your record and work in their be- half, they should not prove ungrate- full, but recognize that you have proven a consistent Trade Unionist and true to labor legislative demands of the Labor Movement of Connecticut
 Believing you will be so recognized and appeciated by your constituents you are entitled to all honors possible to be given you. Your deep devotion to labor interests merits you the praise of the workingmen of the state May we find in the next General As sembly more men like you, elected from the ranks of the toilers of our state.
 Wishing you a glorious future I am,
 F'raternally
 EDWARD M. ROCHELLE. For thirty continuous years a Trade Unionists, 4 Raymond street, Hart ford. Conn.

TT IS a very mysterious story how
the youngest lieutenant in our
= regiment Immediately after the
great maneuvers suddenly became an
entire changed being.
While he was formerly the jolliest
and merriest of US all, he now sneaked
about with bowed head, did not gam
BILE any more, gave up drinking, and,
what is more incredible still, seemed
to have lost all interest in the fair
sex. We all tried to find out the rea-
son, and one evening we enticed him
into the club smoking room, spilled q
few glasses Of champagne into him
and waited until his mental pain
found expression in words.
''It is a late evening In autumn"
he began; 1.-The sun is about TO set and
the evening mists are settling down
over a small Hungarian village with
a name that only a native could ever
hope to pronounce, and on the military
map an old castle is shown just out
side it. You remember how on the
last day Of the maneuvers 1 was driven
back by the enemy and reached this
village. First of all I asked some Of
the omniscient Jews of the Kocma
where I might put up my horses, and
when 1 had seen them taken care Of
and the men quartered in the various
houses, L set out Tor the castle Wnere L
was to spend the night.
THE mist had grown denser and /
could only see a short distance, so
stuck to the main road until I sud
denly found myself surrounded by
pines. 1 dismounted and followed
narrow path on the left. Suddenly
1 saw the old castle right in front of
me. surrounded by a green bog. across
which was an old wooden bridge. The
old walls were covered with dark green
ivy and creepers in all the dazzling
colors OF autumn The few windows
were all heavily barred. I reached the
only entrance, an immense gate, above
which was a black marble tablet, on
which I could just make out the words:
Rakoczy died here
An old turnkey appeared at last,
after I had knocked With all my might
with the hilt of my sword on the solid
iron-bound oak gate. Showing my
papers, 1 demanded lodgings for the
night, turned my horse over to hostlerj
and mounted the broad wooden stairs
to the apartments on the first floor
Here I was received by the overseer
OF the castle, a heavy. but broad
shouldered man with a bloated face and
piercing black eyes. Shortly after
wards I was seated alone with him in
a spacious room, enjoying the hospi-

The Maiden's Luck.
Often, my daughter, shall you hear
people wondering how some maiden
who had a figure like a Feather Bed
and carroty hair and complexion OF
the similitude of a Saleratus Biscuit,
and who at all the merrymaking sat
in the back row of chairs and papered
the wall. suddenly cometh to the front
with the catch of the season dangling
from her Hook
To the foolish it is a mystery past
explaining, but the wise one observeth
that she initiated the example of the
Clam and kept still. When a man ap-
preached her she opened not her
mouth. but received gladly all that he
had to say, whether he discoursed Of
the makes Of his new auto, or account
ed his prowess on the green with the
Little Ball that hideth itself where no
man can find it, or whether he told her
how the President should rule the
country
And 10, the man said unto himself.
Here is an audience that never wear
ieth. 1 will marry it quietly and Cineh
it unto myself And thus does 1t
always happen, my daughter, for there
be gifted takers even as the sand of
the seashore, but talented listener

We find one we strive nightly to keep
it for ourselves.

Consider. also. my daughter, the poise
