Among the recent visitors to

from a rural district, who was much
interested in the ancient pottery ex-
hibits
The attendant pointed out one col

"Those were dug up at Herculan-

What" exclaimed the woman from
the country. Dug up?"
Yes, madam :
"Out of the ground z"
Just as they are now. They were
cleaned up a bit, but they were found
about as you see them"
With an expressive toss of the
head, the lady from the country
turned to her companion and said:
Hes a nice-looking young Teller,
but I don't believe what he says.
They never dug up no ready-made

bull arose and, believing wildly,
charged at the sheep. Thesbuck drew
back and again banged into it's
heavier and larger opponent. The
bull again fell to its knees. These
charges were repeated eight or ten
times the bull growing weaker with
each succeeding one and the buck
seeming to get stronger.
Finally the bull turned and ran to
the other part Of the yards. The
sheep returned to the pack. Conflicts
between bulls are common at the
yards Nearly every afternoon there
is a fight that would bring ancient
Romans to their feet. One story is
told where two heavy bulls fought for
an hour. One was finally beaten when
Its opponent caught 1t under the front
legs and overthrow 1t.

RESERVOIR SHOWS l5 INCH GAIN
Water is Now 245 Inches Below High Water Mark and Still Rsng-Over Three Feet of Water at Meadow Brook.

Fairview reservoir received big gain from the heavy rain of Saturday morning, having risen 15 inches when measured Sunday. There is pouring in from Meadow brook a 24 inch pipe full, while in the Meadow brook basin the water is flowing in large quanti- ties. standing on Sunday 3S inches abvve the 24 inch pipe to F'airview
 This is being conducted as fast as pos sible into F'airview so that the gain will continue for several days. The brooks running into both reservoirs are bringing in large streams, the in- crease of 15 inches having caused the pond to rise until it is now 245 inches below high water mark. This is the first time since last fall, when it went below the 255 inch level, that it has been above that mark which was the former lowest point ever reached. At Meadow brook the water stands in the brook level with the banks while there is quite a pond near the intake pipe. At Mohegan lake there is also a big gain shown, the water having risen IS inches since the pumping stopped and that source was shut off. That meas urement was previous to Saturday S rain, which should make a big addition

Why l Lost
 My Job
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me Cannot Satisfy
 Their Emp1oyers.

Il believe my fate is not unlike tnsiI of thousands of other workers who daily lose their places for reasons they do not know, and probably would not believe. When their last pay envel- ope comes along it is usually, our services no longer required 1T the truth were known, the reason for their unceremonious removal would probably be that their usefulness was destroyed because of some mental worry, bodily ailment or general disposition. These things, as we all know, are tEe most fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost because of a headache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid, active and free from outside influence or worry, or else we go down to failure with the throrg of float ers'' who go from one place of em- ployment fo another giving no satis- faction to others or to themselves, con- stantly growing older and less useful, with no ambition, no will power, and no hope.
 Every man requires from every other man the best that is in him. that is in himself until he is first free from all fretful indispositions and wor- ries.
 That was my trouble. I was full of troubles. That's why I lost my job My stomach in the first place was all
  about it and my mind grew cloudy, and slow I made mistakes, and grew grouchy. That was the end. There are thousands like me, going about with quick lunch faces, dys- peptic manners. and repulsive atmos- ,,hares No employer wants such mems services.

there, although of course that water is not being used now.
 Saturdays rain was one of great value and came at the proper time to get the entire benefit of it. The ground was covered with a sheet of ice and snow upon which fell an inch to an inch and half of snow before 1t turned to rain. Rain began to fall about five o'clock and came down in large quantities for several hours continuing most of the morning. Be- cause of the frozen surface most of the rain was turned directly into the reservoirs from the watersheds.
 Last year on January the reservoir was 219 inches below highwater mark, and on February 5, 1909 it was POT 1-2 inches below high water mark, and on June following came within seven and half inches of reaching full pond.
 The average of rainfall for February is 3.93 inches, a trifie less than for January, but an excellent start was made Saturday morning when the fall amounted to 1.15 inches A few more such storms will boost the reservoir perceptibly, but it is long distance to full pond. Saturdays rain was the first to have any appreciable effect upon the Shetucket, but there was a strong current there on Sunday.
