Mayor Mahan at the last council meeting made open declaration that the expenses of the health department were far from req sonalble, and had in creased about 300 per cent. in three years. and were still on the increase, and that it was about time to call halt The readers of this Saturday corr espondence are familiar with some instances where there are charges of alleged extravaganza and unnneces- sary expense since pr. J. Torrington Bla ok assumed the duties of health of ficer, although the expenditures have all been sanctioned by the health com fseitcee of the court of common coun- cil. who are in direct charge of all that pertains to the expenses of the health department. The mayor nor no one else finds any fault with the ability to conduct the health feature of the de- partment, but there is reasonable ground for critcising some of the bills of expense, and the mayor has decided that there must be some senrblance of economy in the conduct of the health department in the future.
 The term of office of Health Officer Black has expired, and it is announc- ed from the mayors office that Dr. Black has been reappointed. And this shows that the fault is not with the doctor, but with the system, and the mayor proposes to have a change in the system.

being used than was contracted for the short time rate would be applied to the excessive space. and the total bill for advertising for the year would un- doubtedly be in excess of what is now being paid. No advertiser gets as much gratuitous advertising from the newspapers as does the city, and there is no reason why the city should not pay the regular OmmercIa1 rate for advertising that cannot be avoided. The people should not be led to beliexe by some, things that were said at the council meeting that the advertising bills are excessive and that a special and high rate is charged the city.
 Mayor Mahan relaiizes the true sit uation, when he said that the rates to the city were not higher than to in dividuals, and added that if the news papers received pay for all the adyer- Using done for the city that $10,000 a year even would not pay the bills. There is no graft connected with the city advertising of New London.
 Some years ago the proprietor of a fruit store in. lower Bank street was arrested for operating a gambling de- vice in his store, some Of the players being minors, and he Mas heavily fined in the police court and the gambling device or penny in the slot machine was taken away. But the police activ- ity iR that special line seemed to stop then ar l there. Complaint had been made against this man, and the arrest and prosecution was the result. At the present time there is open gambling of similar nature in several stores and it is a common thing to see boys shaking dice upon the show cases of certain stores on the most prominent streets every night in the week, inelud- ing Sunday. and in full view of all who pass. It may be that action to prevent this species of gambling is not taken because no complaint is filed direct

with the prosecuting authorities, and for that reason there is no police mo- sestation.
 If this sort of gambling is to be per mitted, suggestion has been made that it be conducted in the rear part of the stores, or behind screens, as such. scenes are not acceptable to fathers and mothers whose boys may not be any stronger minded than the other boys who are taking their initial les sons in gambling, and ws1o may be e,a- ticed into these stores by seeing the game in operation in rassirag, and step in to see how the games are played.

 Ore of the pecuiiarities of New Lon don politics was shown in the election of last Monday, when the city general ticket went republican by about two hundred, and three of the five alder men elected were democrats-Miner, Harrigan and Cleary, the republicans elected being Thompson and Kirkland. 1t may be news to the Norwich read CTS to know that the newly elected alderman from the Third ward the business center ward of the city. is William J. Harrigan, former resident of the Rose of New England, who Is in business with his brother, Joseph, an other former resident of Norwich. Per- haps the most surprising feature of the election was the success of Luke Martin, the democratic nominee for sheriff, especially as he cannot be con- side1,ed s popular man. as that term is used in politics.
 The hold-over republican city sher- frs name is Martin, and he has been repeatedly re- elected, and it may be that a confusion of names resulted to the benefit of Luke Martin in the cleo lion, which indicates that after al there is something in a name. Martin was the only democrat elected on ths democratic ticket, and the new sheriff nlodestly accepts the distinguished honor that has been thrust upon him Mr. Martin, however, is well equipped for public office. for years ago he was the only uniformed police officer ol Birnlinghaln and has served as chic of the Wallfngford fire department

Why, if Old Monotony himself should be caged up on the average farm with the average farmer for about one-half of one busy summer day, it wouldn't be dinner-time before Old Monotony would be whimpering fer Mark Twain's famous hole, so he could crawl into it and pull the hole in after him.

The thing for us to do is to reject with indignation the outworn idea that farming and monotony have anything h common; to train ourselves and our children into an understanding of the almost infinite variety of interests it affords; to grasp the skirts of our happy chance and make the most of the simply wonderful opportunities our calling affords for building up that noblest thing on earth, fully rounded manhood and womanhood

Farm life is not lonesome: farming is not rnonotonous. People who use these words in description of it are njsustng the words and nlisstating the facts- They either do not know, or they have been misled. or they are themae~es too cress-eyed to see st-sigbt, or too short sighted to see at all beyond their own noses. I'd as soon think of calling a dog fight monotonous o- a town caucus lonesome.
