Things have come to such pass" said Mrs. Cumback, that my husband is blamed for everything that happens to the Crump family, and it's no won der that he's trying to sell out, so that he can move away from the neishbor- hood"
 You seem to have a great deal of trouble with the Crumps," said Mrs. could get along with them if you tried to Ie friendly"
 crumps, Mrs. Wagstaf There's n. use trying to be friendly with them, because they think you have base de- signs. and if they have bad luck Of any sort, they charge it up. to their neighbors. Why did Mrs. Bindernagle move out of the neighborhood? Be- cause she was bounded by Mrs. Crum7. One dag, when they were on friendly terms Mrs Bindernagle went to Mrs. Crump's house to borrow a little bak- ing powder. Mrs. Crump was lying down with a~sick headache at the time and she told Mrs. Bindernagle to go to the cupboard in the kitchen and help herself
 Next day Mrs. Crump was recover ed from her headache, but wasn't feel ing strong. so she thought she'd heat a can of beans for her husbands lunch, to save cooking. She put the can in kettle of water and boiled it for fifteen minutes and took it out, and set it on the table, and was looking for the can opener. when that can exploded like keg of fireworks, and Mrs. Crump was pIastered with redf1ot beans and small pieces of pork. from her head to her heels. and the doctor had the time Of his life with her.
 "She told all over the neighborhood that Mrs. Bindernagle rummaged through her cupboard for ten minutes while she was lying sick, and must

have put a stick of dynamite into that can of beans. and lots of women were just foolish enough to believe it, and poor Mrs. Bindernasle was so norti- fled that she couldn't stand 1t to i've in our neighborhood any more.
 Last night they had some kind of a party at Crump's. and they kept things going until after midnight, making so much noise that we couldn't sleep, so my husband and 1 sat on our front porch until late. We saw the Iguests come out of Crump's house on to the porch, and after saying good night all round they started going down the steps, and than there was go much circus acting we could hardly believe our eyes. Their feet few from under them, and they went down the steps bumpety-bump, and piled up in heap at the bottom, and such scream ing and swearing you never heard. II really looked like football game, and simply couldn't understand it.
 After they had gathered themselves up and gone away Crump came over to our door fairly frothfng at the mouth, he was so angry, and said that If tnere was any law in the land he would send my husband to the penitentiary Tor rubbing soap over his steps, endanger- ing the lives and limbs of his guests. He was so fmpoHte that my husband was compelled to hit him with a How CT pot Now, what right had he to take it for granted that MT. Cumback put the soap on his steps?
 -"There was a policeman at our door first thing this morning, and expect it will mean another fine at the police court and then my husband will nave Crump arrested for something, and he will retaIiate, and so it will go until the court has all our money. And, while I think of it, Mrs. Wagstaff, I'd like to borrow few eggs until the grocer's wagon comes."-Chicago News

WE ARE A CARELESS PEOPLE.

Doubtless half of the fire loss of the country. s150. 100000 annually, is due to design or carelessness; and now we are told the hen men lose s45,000,- 900 annually because of the sloyenly way in which eggs are handled.
 The agricultural department has just issued a bulletin (No. 141), entitled '.The Improvement of the Egg Farm .
 This bulletin states that the inn proper and antiqua ted manner of handling eggs in the United States results in the loss of s45.000,O00 an- nually. This is IT per cent. of the es- timated total crop of the farmers and other producers.
 In order to show that this loss can be prevented. the bureau of animal in dustry last year sent an expert into the state of Kansas to conduct inves- tigations there. The results are given in this bulletin.
 Although but one season has been spent in this work says the bulletin. several much desired changes have been brought about. The most inn portant of these was the adoption by shippers of the 'loss-off system of buying and selling eggs
 Copies of the bulletin can be secured by addressing the Secretary of Agri- culture, Washington, D. c.

WHAT CONGRESSMAN WHITE
 DOESN'T KNOW.
WHAT

Congressman White of Massachu- setts did not attend the Saturday meeting of the Essex club which was addressed by President Taft and at tended by most of the political lights of the Old Bay state; but he ven- tured to unbosom himself through an interview in the Boston American up- on the subject of the presidents ad- dress. MT. White said:
 ''As to reciprocity? I must confess that I have had little or no time to make careful study of it. But I do believe that the great majority of peo- pie who clamor for it appreciate it's results. l know the farmer and the agriculturist are opposed to it. I my self do not see how it will reduce the cost of the neeessaries of life. I can not reconcile myself to the fact that our fish industry would be injured by it or that it would work to the ad- vantage of Canadians. The reciprocity past should be carefully studied by the tariff commission, to which I consider it should be submitted as we'll as any other industry or schedule. am speaking now without much study on this question, but one thing I fail to see is the justice or consistency of the situation"
 Perhaps the people are very much interested in what Congressman White doesn't know; but 1t is always better for public servant to tell the people what he does know.
 The Springfield Republican, con- menting upon this speech. says:
 That was particularly bold-the belief that the great majority of peo- pie who clamor for it appreciate it's resultsl' You bet they do But it is clear that MT. White is cool on reci- procity-which is pretty bad, consid- ering that even Lieut.-Governor Frothingham, the machine candidate for the nomination MT. White is after, had quite warm word for reciprocity or for the president in relation to reciprocity at the Essex gathering"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Liquor Law vioIators-

MT Editor: As q constant reader or your valuable paper, We read in the column with the Jewett City news, state police raid places where liquor is found and the following morning in the same column fines amount to over five hundred dollars Dolan, Bedard and Lewis. The latter is or has Deen the warden of the borough, who IS sworn not only to obey but enforce the law. vet for the past thirty years his name has figured in the police courts every short time for violating the liquor laws, selling on Sundays, in no-license town.
 The court says so many dollars and
 costs, and Lewis pays, only to De brought back again in a few months for the same offense. Why not sug- gest to the honorable court in this town the use Of the Norwich jail as remedy for such a lawless official? Why should not an example be made of this continual 1aw-breaker? The voters have declared that they wait no liquor sold in this place; yet the head official is one of the worst law
 breakers. Let the voters of the town show their disapproval of such officers when the election comes again and stand shoulder to shoulder as our fa-
 thers did fifty years ago, to stamp out
 slavery and the men who stood up for
 it.
 One of the men fined is one of the
 list a few months ago in this same
 court Dolan, located almost at the entrance of the church door, does not
 respect neither the law of God nor man, and the only remedy is a stay
 behind the bars for such men.
 The church in this place had a champion in the Rev. J. H. FitZmau-
 rice. who was fearless in urging his people to the right. His removal must
 be regretted by the people not only of his own church but of all the churches.
 But l trust his successor will take the work up with greater zeal and energy to stamp out this. class of men from running the youth of the parish and coming almost to our church door to assail it with the greatest weapon the church and state has to fear-the saloon, whether it is authorized by law or done as it is by Lewis, Dola n and Bedard in Jewett City, where the law says there shall be no saloon. Citizens, arouse and show that the sacred power of the ballot, which is the greatest power you can enjoy, is respected, and give this stamp of men to understand. as we'll as all town and court officials, that no power is great CT than the power of the voter, and your will must be respected as su- preme. and the enforcement and deal ing out of justice must be such as will meet this end.

Stolen Umbrellas.

Mir. Editor: We have had so little rain this summer that many persons have lost their umbrellas. because they forgot to return them home, after taking them away in anticipation of a shower that did not materialize.
 The man who is the last one to get up from the dinner table may be a hog while the one who gets up be- fore he has eaten enough may be a fool.
 But the man who is big enough fool to give a hog chance to steal his umbrella may never recover it, un- less the hog becomes tired of a drought and brings back the umbrella with cloth sufficient to do the job.
 A dressed hog needs neither cloth nor umbrella.
 To recover a stolen umbrella is not much less difficult than it is for d handsome. attractive miss to recover a kiss after it has been stolen iron. her.
 substitute could. of course, be se- cured for either.

Afterwards the places would scale over, and the flesh underneath would look red and feverish. Sometimes it would begin to itch until it would waken me from my sleep, and would have to go through the scratching ordeal again.

THE DOMINANCE OF THE SOUTH

The democratic papers of the state who clamor so for better representa- tion in this state, never say anything about the unequal representation in congress
 The democrats of the south have reached the point where they can die tate to the democratic party the poli- cies it shall support.
 In the Sixty-second congress there are from the north 9S and from the south 130 democrats, a majority of 32 in the caucus, and they have used their power. They elected the speaker. the clerk, the doorkeeper, and the postmaster of the house organization, leaving only the sergeant at arms to the north.
 There are ffty-six standing com mittees of the house. big and little. The chairmanship of forty of these was given to members from the south, and that section took the chairman ship of all but two of the so-called working committees and those two went to Tammany members.
 Every measure proposed or passed in the house had first the endorsement of the democratic caucus, and it is clear that the south is taking care of ner interests.
 There is another matter connected with the south in congress that is of interest. In the reapportionment bill which passed both houses and is now law. the number of members of con- gress to which each state is entitled is based on the report of the census bureau and includes all the residents of the states In the southern states the colored people are counted in de- termining the representation in con gress, but colored men are not allowed to vote or to take part in elections. Every white vote in the south counts as much as six in Connecticut in the election of members of congress. In five states in the south, namely, Ar kansas Florida. Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia, there are elect ed forty three members of the house. Each received an average of 4,S0S votes as against an average of 33,231 for each member of congress elected in Connecticut
 In the five states referred to there were cast 20S,701 votes for congress men. In the state of Iowa there were cast at the same election 1,43O votes. In the six southern states forty-three members were elected, in the state of Iowa were eleven. Is this fair?
