Antiquity of the Senate.


 The senate is historically much older than the lower house, or house of rep resentatives, as it is called in our country and time. In the remote time, while as yet there was no such thing as science of government, the tribe was wont to look to it's old men, on account of their wisdom and expert ence, for advice in all matters per taining to the tribe, and those old men were the first senators. The word senator comes from "senis," meaning old. As civilization advanced and seated government became a fact the senate continued to be composed of the old men, and when by and by the second chamber, or council, was added the senate continued to receive the larger measure of reverence and respect.-New York American.

Crow ouills Make the Best Pen

OroW S0iitS "SNS enS ooSS T0Ho'
 A quill penmaker says that no pen will do as fine writing as the crow quill. It requires the assistance of a micro scope to make proper pen out of such a quill, but when made it is of won derful delicacy. The microscopic writ ing told of in books of literary curios 1ties was all done with crow quill. The steel pens of the present have very fine points. but somehow finer point can be given to quill than has ever been put on a steel pen, and for delicacy nothing can equal it.

OBJECT TO WIDENING
Residents of King Street Threat , ems to Get Out Injunction to ss Stop Improvements
fsnecial to the Farmer.)

stratford, July Opposition to the widening of King street has developed as the work has progressed toward the south. Selectman Fred Nettleton, who has the work in charge. was oral ly notified yesterday by David L. Rhoades that if he continued the i'm provements to his place the town would be served with an Injunction. He is also credited with the state ment that he has $500 to spend in pre- venting the work, and that if defeat ed he will ask for a town meeting and lay out the street to the original width with a curb and gutter. MT. Rhoades and Andrew Graham are the only op- ponents of the project developed so far. Selectman Nettleton said this morning that he would continue the work until stopped by some proper authority. He has no power to cut down trees along the street, which prerogative belongs entirely to the tree warden. The proposition to widen the street to its original bounds will nec- essarily include the removal of the trees. There have been many discus eions as to the original street line. Charles w. Blakeslee says that the street was originally eight rods wide and that he can find the original line which is marked by iron rods driven fn the ground many years ago. Se-
  long section of the widening and says that he will continue, believing that all the property owners on the street should be treated alike and that he does not propose to show any favorft- ism. The roadway in front of the Rhoadey residence is about feet wide, and the rSelectmanc claims that large portion of the lawn there Is real ly a part of the street.
