time to go over a six round route with
fighters who have yet to prove that

STRONG IN INsuReENT STATES

Washington, the state of Senator Poindexter, who openly advocates La Toilette for the presidency, has been regarded as an out and out insurgent state. but since President Taft has presented his views to the people there a new light has appeared on the horiz- on. and those who were sure of it's ex- treme insurgency are now in doubt, The Spokane correspondent of the St, Paul Pioneer Press, writing that pa per. says
 Tn spite of all this evidence of op- pos lion to the Taft poitices, there is every indication that the president is much stronger in Washington than in any other state dominated by the progressives. Senator Poindexter has announced his political preference for Senator I.aF'ollette as republican candidate for the presidency and yet one hears remarkably little talk of the Wisconsin man among the people out side of politicians. The majority of the business men here told the corre- spondent that they unqualifiedly ap- prove Taft's administration, and the majority of the workingmen question ed either commended the president or said he ought to be given a further trial
 MT Taft's speech ir this city pa tently created a favorable effect. He spoke at the fair grounds before an immense crowd which listened to his arguments on half dozen important questions with noticeable intentness. Many people told the Pioneer Press representative today that the presi- dents statements either had removed doubts or had produced the conviction that he ought to have a further op- portunity to carry out his plans in re- gard to the tariff. world peace, conser- vatton and administrative economy.
 Now the press that opposed Taft is of the opinion there has never been SO much anti-Taft sentiment in Wash ington or elsewhere as his enemies so consistently tried to make out

PICKLES AND PRESERVES

and there we find other provident housekeeperS busily engaged in Stor ing up provisions for winter use. See the squirrels scurrying about with nuts for their winter storehouse How eagerly and patiently they toll to make sure of a goodly supply for the long and dreary winter We are told of birds that drill holes in the bark of trees, irls which they insert aeorns for food later on. The bees have been at work for long time filling hrilow trees with their provisions for winter Too often, the bee hunter deprives them of their harvest, and they are left bankrupt at the end of long season of busy work.
 For those who like an outdoor pan try. Mother Nature provides literally. The cedar apples are witness to this, also the red Seed-pods left on the rose bramb1es The bittersweet vine climb ing over wonder wall both furnishes berries and beautifes the scene. Sharp little eyes of hungry birds eagerly search out the blue berries of the juni- per, and the countless seeds on the Withered grasses feed many of the winter dwellers in our woods who do not store up food for themselves. They trust to Mother Nature to provide for them and she rarely fails to meet their demands. Sometimes they resort to their human friends for help, and a tempting bit put in their way quick ly makes them tame, and they become quite domesticated but they are few compared with the many whom we although the woods may harbor them snugly tucked away in dim and dense retreats, known only to those who search for them carefully.

WHY. NOT HAVE A NEW PAVE.
 MENT PARTY?

It is d question whether we in the east estimate correctly the value of getting together on every suspicious occasion, and on occasions not quite SO suspicious. out in the western country they celebrate every kind of an event of interest to the people. and aDong other kinds of parties of which We here in the Rose of New England know nothing, is the new pavement party 10 which the whole town turns out, and since we are slowly ap- preaching the conclusion of similar commendable enterprise. why couldn't we just indulge in little street glori' fiea ation?
 They have just had such a time at New Hampton. Iowa, and it will | interesting to Norwich to know how to properly crown such an event We are told the several blocks of paving having been finished at New Hampton the same were swept and roped off. making a parlor in the center of the town wherein or wheNeon a reception was held. The sun shone. The street was clean. The members of the band sat on chairs in the middle of the street and entertained the crowd with music. There were trick bicycle riders acfODatS and other forms or entertain ment. The people came from near and far to help celebrate the local achieve ment. Everyone remarked: How clean everything is.' Men doing bus mess on the side streets began to in quire what paving would cost. They are evidently wanting it. To be fur ther up the gulch New Hampton has the cluster lights so that the people can give parties at night as well as in the daytime. Upon the occa sion of the celebra ton, to which we refer, there was much joy and gladness. Ev- eryone wore smile. There were no froWns. no seedlings, no quarrels. It was an ideal reception or party and the people of New Hampton contem- plate more pavements and more par ties
 Norwich has a fine opportunity to be first in New England to hold real new pavement party such as they hold in the west. and to crown with smiles what is usually capped by frowns.

enough to bid them all welcome and invite them to take what they best like. In this she outstrips mankind, for we turn many a wayfarer from our door with empty hands and pos sibly empty stomachs. We often have only cold looks and harsh refusals for such. and justify ourselves by think ing they are as well able to work for their living as we are. No doubt, 1t is very unphilosopnical to encourage pauperism by promiscuous bestowal of charity, but what if we ill-treat the few who are deserving of our sym pathy? Better be deceived many times over than refuse one really in need of help One more thought.

is-a scoundrel; and some woman will look at the same chap and think he is saint; and sometimes she gets closest to the true estimate of his character not because he proves to be a saint, but because he proves to be i pretty tolerable sinner; and better. perhaps, than those who misjudSed him. The good promiser is not the one who achieves things in life; but the good doer. This last not only keeps his promises. but shows that his word and his work both commend him.
 A great many people have their fa- vorIte flower; but how many think you, have their favorite sky? There are skies and skies; but the cobalt blue sky of autumn with it's white scuds more picturesque and wonderful than man can design, pleases me. It means a clear atmosphere and dis tances seem much shorter to the eye and far-objects appear much clearer and nearer: even the stars of Heaven appear in it to approach much nearer the earth. These woolly clouds which simply represent spent forces, are mere dereiicts in a limpid atmosphere bound for the isle of Nowhere; but they are ornamental: and as they are constant ly given new shapes by the wind, are ever pleasing to the eye and imagina- ton. I had friend who used to see in them embattled walls, and Nep- tunes chariot, and Pharaoh's horses. and beasts and birds, which seemed to delight his soul, while I only saw clouds. They keep getting more and more picturesque to me, and more and more divine. Of all thevictures to be seen i'll nature these sky -scapes seem to lend the greatest charm to life.

Sometimes, where ones own garden patch furnishes the material, much IS used in these ways to prevent waste. Did it ever occur to our suburban sis ters that home made pickles might be sold to their city friends, who find so little time for such work? It would be an accommodation to the latter, and furnish little pocket money to the former. One such rural friend I know, who has put jelly on the mar ket this season and found ready sale for it. Why do not more follow the same practice?
