Annual Meeting Wlndham County Tenn.
 pOrary Home

The annual meeting of the Wind held at the Home in the Sawyer Dis trict, Putnam, last week Thursday al l 1 o'clock d, m. Notwithstanding that the day was damp and disagreeable there was a gathering of officials aad invited guests numbering nearly %.
 This Home is the pride Of the county. tis doing phiIanthropic work that Is inValuabt5, anu d work, as one speaker said, thnj cannot be exceeded for good by Christian people. To this Home are sem the destitute children Of the county T5ey dnd al the Home a homelike atmosphere; in the super intendent and nation, Mir. and Ms. Job Thatcher, they find two loyabe characters to whom the hearts of the lonesome little unfortunates immedi ately go out. They receive good care, kindly treatment, good food, and an education, and as they grow older they are put into good homes and become respected citizens. And it is putting the children into these homes that is delegated to the committee of town visitors, consisting of one or two ladies from each town in the county In lis tening to the reports of these ladies one Segins to get some idea of the work be- ing accomplished. They report on the conduct and progress of each child that has been put in a home and with but very few exceptions these reports are excellent. There are pathetic inci- dents and humorous incidents related of the child life, and the motherly in. terest taken by these women in their charges is clearly depicted in their couutenances as their reports are given,
 The Home comes under the direct supervision and control of the county commissioners, Messrs. F. II. Hall F., II. Corttis and C. E. Barber. This eff ticient board of officers, whose conscien- tious, businesslike management of county affairs has brought Windham county into the limelight throughout the whole state as model quasi pub lie corporation, have always shown an exec ptional interest in the temporary home and have given 1t great deal of time and attention, bringing il up 10 its present high standard of efficiency. The county is fortunate in having men of such character and integrity to man. age public affairs as the present lboard of commissioners and the public have shown their confidence and apprecia- ton of the work they are doing by keeping them in office.
 The commissioners, it has been dem- onstrated, were indeed fortunate in the selection of superintendent and ma. iron 10 succeed MT. and Mrs. John D.

CHINA SETTING
 ARMY IN MOTION

PekiE, Oct. IT. 7.-Simultaneonslv with the acceptance by Yuan Shi-Kat of the post of vieeroy of Hu-Peh and Human provinces. to which terrftorv he is directed to proceed immediately to re-establish the imperial authority the Chinese government is sboving remarkable activity, even in the face of a depleted treasury.
 The government seems to realize at last the necessity of promntiv crushing the rebellion and now i. dispatehing the army to the scene of the revolt as hastily as preparations can be made.
 A few messages are beginning to arrive from the south, which for sev- eral days was entirely cut of from telegraphic communication. Ru, though the lines are open. few details of the situation ia the affected prov- inces are Altering in.
 It is believed, however, that a cer- tain measure of erder is being man. tained at N'u-Ckang and Hankow.
 Outside of the foreign concessions in Hankow. these tive cities are in tbe hands of the levoludonists. and the fact hat all the women and children haze left, CT are leaving Haukow. tu- dtcates that the forces under the fn- suraent leaders, well armed and well m8tioned from the arsenal stores. are prepagiae to resist the Chinese army.
 The reinforcement of the American legation sdard Of loo mea, who are preceding from Manila, while not significant Of danger. nevertheless is indicative of the seriousness of the situation even in Pekin.
 Chinese respect for foreigners. which is often cringing, continues to be up to the customary standard This is due largely to the lesson of 1900. and it is not believed that the lega- tion quarter will be subjected to more than inconveniences, owing to the rise in the prices of foodstuffs and possibly disorders in the native city.
 An indication of the activity being displayed by the government is given in the dispatch from Pao- Ting-Fu, which refers to twenty four army trains in the last three days. After the departure of single passenger train today the railroad the railway between Peilin and Tien-T Tsin will bs closed to all but troop traffic.
 General Yin Tchang, the minister of war, who will have chief command of the government troops, is small thin, queueless Manehu. The Ger man and Austrian officers, who hold the generals greatest confidence, re- port that he has not entire faith in tie Chinese troops.
 tecording 10 the Chinese people ceaerally the Manchus were tolerable when they protected the country, but TOW ere worthless. The vast body of Chine-e sympathize with the revolu- .uonists.
 The situation depends on money and it is admitted that the ready funds of ;Ee Chinese government are low. Far,her cans by foreign bankers nave been refused lift the pay of the troops is increased and is regular V forthcoming, and if the men are well fed, they may not desert or re- bel The feeling in Pekin is not which army is the stronger, but which IS the less feeble, the less disorgan-

Children in family homes under care ot the Board of Management in

Mrs. F.. T. N hitmore of Williman- tie then read a report of the last an nual meeting During the reading of the report she suggested that one need of the home was domestic scienc training for the girls and a manual training department for the boys. She said that it would tend to make it easier to place the children in good homes. At present those who were asked to take children often complain ed that there was nothing that the children had been fitted to do.
 Those reporting for the various towns follow:
 Mrs. Anna Wright, Ashford.
 Mrs. Clarence A. Potter, Brooklyn.
 Mrs. Charles S. Hyde, Canterbury.
 Mrs. w. B. Gallup, Chaplin.
 Mrs. James Turner, Sterling.
 Mrs. Preston R. Sibley, Killingly.
 Mrs, Charlotte Hopkins, Putnam.
 Mrs. Emma C. Brown, Scotland.
 Mrs. George Loring, Mrs. E. H. Lil- Iibridge, Plainlield.
 Mrs. NJ. D. Elliott, Thompson.
 Mrs. Frank Cotbin, Mrs. NJ. Rid dick, Woodstock.
 Miss Anna H. 1ingley, Windham.
 Mrs. Nellie C.ICleveland, Hampton.
 Judge (. c. Thompson for Mrs. Thompson, Pomfret.
 Mrs Oscar Tourtellotte, Thompson.
 These reports were listened to with close attention and were most interest ing. They awakened the minds of those who had not come in touch with the work before to realization of the far-reaching influence lof the Home. The reports were similar except as to details. Each child would be named, its whereabouts and occupation stated, and its environment detailed. In nearly every instance it was reported that the child was doing well. Once in while il would be explained that a child was backward in its studies, or did not like to go to school, and there was one instance of incorrigibiiity, but adverse reports were exceptional. Mrs. (. :. Hyde of Canterbury related of one of "her boys who was no longer under the control of the Home but nevertheless sent her money from time to time to put in the bank for him. In one of his letters to her he explained that he was unable tc send nuch money as he was taking 8 correspond

There is habit common among
the young men much more dang
erous than it appears and which
may lead to results extremely
disastrous-the habit of borrow.
ing money. 1t is a habit con
tracted with ease and once started
there is no knowing where it will
end. "A few dollars are borrowed
to please some passing fancy
with every intention of returning
the loan in a short time. But the
thoughtlessness which caused
the purchase of an article beyond
ones means likewise allows the
interval to elapse without any
provision having been made to
meet the obligation. Perhaps
half the debt is ready, but more
money is borrowed from another
friend to complete the amount
and so it continues indefinitely.
Soon a number of debts are con-
tracted and however small they
tend to burden life and make it
unpleasant and almost invariably
leads to dishonesty. Young men
with small salaries should by all
means avoid the habit. To do so
will necessitate perhaps many
sacrifices, but no dangers are run
in living within ones income.
And, besides, the habits of econ.
omy and frugality learned when
the income is small, will bear
fruit in abundance when it is
larger. 1t is a safe rule in youth
at least to borrow not"

Why should a community go
forward? For the very good and
simple reason that if it does not
go forward, then it is going back
ward. With cities or states, as
with individuals, there is no
middle ground, there is no stand.
ing still, they are either alive and
growing and developing with in
creasing conveniences and activi-
ties, becoming more worth while
all the time, or they are marking
time, slowing down, losing vital
ity, live citizens leaving thsm,
values decreasing trade decreas-
ing and on the quick road to be-
ing dead ones". No city or
state can rest on it's oars and
hold it's position. The minute
rest begins and it's activities
slacken, that minute decay sets
in. Modern active men demand
modern active cities with modern
government, modern convent
ences, modern health facilities
fully equipped cities, up and com
ing. The kind of men that cities
want naturally seek their own
kind and get into the live cities,
with live men. It's the citizens
that make or break a community.
The right kind of citizens would
build a city in the middle of a
desert if they decided to do 50
and organized for that purpose.
Organize and make your city and
state what you should want them
to be. Brains plus energy plus
organization, totals success.

this neutrality-suspicious.. Uncle

for rescue; when you see the
