THE ASSESSORS AND PENSIONS.

The veterans of Norwich will be glad to know that there is no inde- ctsicn on the part of the Norwich assessors with respect to their ac- ton in the premises with reference to the exempt pension law.
 They decline to assume that the opinion of Attorney General Light that one section of the law Is unconstitu- riona1 and to repudiate the other opin- ion from him that the Semaining sec -ionE of the old law are valid. It is plain to be seen that such a position sS untenable-
 The assessors Of Norwich are only waiting to see whether the old law or the amended law is to be respected. If rhs court finds the amendment is unconstitutional, the old exemption. will be entered and honored in Nor wich-
 The Norwich board of assessors are level-headed men, and they do not propose to send the veterans of the civil var before the board of relief to Esr their just dues upon such. a. fiimsy basis as is being done in some places.

You are a member of family circle. Reflect on what was done for you there. Think of mothers incessant sacrifice during the period Of your heIpIessness. Have thought for the labOrs of father, who uncomplainlngly bore the burden and heat of the day for your support. Estimate the care with which you were for many long years surrounded.
 You are a free citizen in a great re- public. You enjoy the power of free speech. the privilege of the ballot, the right of property Have you person. ally ever done anything to secure these great possessions? Probably you have never turned hand to secure them You simply take them as matter of course.
 Remember now with how great a price you have obtained your freedom In your behalf a hundred battlefields have smoked and run red with blood. Ten thousand martyrs through the ages have yielded their lives to give of MarstOn Moor and Bunker iill and Cettysburg All these have lsbored and suffered and you are entered into the fruit of their labors and of their SufferingS.
 You enjoy the comforts of this mod ern cfviliza ton. How many soldiers of the common good are working in your behalf. Consider your breakfast table this morning. Workers from many climes conspired together to set the meal before you. The ends of the earth were drawn upon for yOUf pleas ure You are indebted to farmers, miners sailors, weavers. machinists, glass cutters-a great host whom you have never seen and never will see. But one should think of these workers with gratitude and remember the cost in human effort of that which he eats and wears.

THE SINGLE TAX IDEA,

The single tax idea of Henry George will not down-it has come to stay. It demonstrates its own merit and all though the author of it has been gath cred to his fathers, the principle lives in all it's potency and is convincing the world of it's practical value
 Since the single tax plan has be- come demonstrated fact in Nancou- yer and elsewhere the movement has gained great momentum throughout the world, according to addresses in Chicago during the National Single Tax conference. The speakers con tended that the more equitable a6 justment of tax for the maintenance of the government would reduce the cost of living by putting an end to the indirect taxes now imposed in the United States, would relieve the farm CT of an inequitalole share of the taxes and encourage thrift and the move ment from the cities to the rural dis tDicts which has become essential to continued national prosperity. From the actual results in different places where all taxes were abolished but that representing the rent of land. the speakers argued that the theories of Henry George were sound and would solve the many problems of labor and capital Joseph Fels, founder of the FAels fund commission, was present during the conference, also many other prominent men who advocate the single tax, including former Senator S. A. Stockwen of Minnesota, former Con George :. Briggs of Elkhart, md. and gressman Robert Baker of New York w. s. U'Ren of Oregon City, Ore.: Daniel Keller of Cincinnati. MT. F'tls, originally a Philadelphia, returned to America recently after 8 nine months trip through the British isles inves- tigating the taxation reforms recently inaugurated there.

It is the common things which express the equality of man" sentiment regarded as a good quotation for a political cam Paign, but at all other times as the Vilest rot? Whats that you Say?' It is the truth, illustrated by the fact thaC the day laborer can eat and drink and love his wife and children and read a ECch and play games in the evening with his wife or his neighbors just as N ell as the multi millionaire and get equal enjoyment out of it. Home in LoVeI is more enjoyable than hell in Talace, Much that looks like comfort iu this world is often the shabbiest counterfeit. Millionaires are not as common as trolley motormen, but there may be more real fun in running motor car than in running a yacht by proxy.

God and heaven are common though precious things, for eny poor man can have both by the asking and obedience to the dictates of a good conscience.

The Browning Joy of Their Thanksgiving

 Mrs. Hewitt looked up at him with a bright smile as she replied:
 That is true, Nathan; but it did seem nice to have them all here at the old place for Thanksgiving; and l feel as if we had not many more years ahead of us; and l want them all to come as long we are here
 Everything seemed bright about the cheery room, where the old couple were sitting; and Nathan Hewitt little real ized how much was owing to the cheerfuIness with which his aged wife met every emergency which arose, and turned aside every veXation with

 srees of tenn perature are the calls of nature to the plants and the insects. When the temperature is right the flowers and insects come; and when it is not they farewell In these cool Oc- tober, and November days the garden
 CTS who love early flowers have been putting in the ground various bulbs for early spring towering: and the flowers will come in their order from early March until late May, the snow flakes coming before the snow is fairly gone, followed by crocuses and the heavenly blue chiondOXa, and these by tulips and narcissi and hyacinths, each answering their own call or degree of temperature. This is where habit and breeding tells. These bulbs are not natural to our soil, but were nurtured il. cool climates and are used to frost and snow, the native habitat of the snowflahes and crocuses being some mountain valley close to the snow line. II makes no odds where they are plant ed. they know their call and come to play with the sun and mature their seed when the conditions are right or natural. Man has collected them. and this is how he keeps his open-air flowers blooming from March to No vember in the temperate zone.

It is not often that a man realizes what a dependent creature he is Most of us think We pay our way In this world. We are not obliged to ask fav OTIS. Independent, self sustaining nor taIs that we are, we do not enjoy ac- knowledging obligation to anyone We work for what we get and ask what there is, after all. to give thanks for.
 This attitude of mind, however, is wrong one, as is plainly seen when we think of the matter. No life that breathes is unindebted. About every thing one has is a gift.

What think you of this 3 definition of a gentleman: What we call civiliza- ton is only the womanization of the race; what we designate as a gentle man is the man whose bravery has been tempered by the gentleness of woman The masculine is oftenest expressed in the rough and bold nature
 the feminine in the more patient and gentle qualities; and the gentleman Is the combination oe the qualities of !.oth It is the races who do not hon or woman and who make of her drudge and of themselves barbarians which in the course of human events are exterminated This is where the evidence of superiority of race ex- presses itself. The great races lack nothing m manhood and have gained their perfecting and finishing touches from the best qualities Of woma nhood. SCne people are confirmed in the opin ion that good manners and good clothes constitute the gentleman; and do not appear to realize that an orang goutans may be trained to lake soup quietly from the side of a spoon, not to eat pls- with a knife and to enter a room with due respect to all the formalities of polite society.

ON TRIAL FOR his LIFE

One might have though Mr.. Under
hill was on trial for his life before
the Street and Sewer Department. In
addition to their attempt to wiring
from him business secrets in the pres
ence of a prospective competitor, they
attempted TO go so far as putting him
in bad with the Public Utilities Com
mission. Mr.. Underhill's reply was
something Of a boomerang when he
said that the Wilmington and Phila-
delphia Traction Company claimed as
unconstitutional, an attempt to regu-
late rates on the princnple that it was
legislative authority delegated. There
was a great deal said about news
paper advertisements and bartering
of railroads, but the word competition
which is so dear to the public seemed
to be ignored or shuned as though
it was something dreadful, and the
man who dared to come to Whining
ton and face a Street and Sewer De-
partment with the request that he be
licensed to give the people what they
hunger for in the way Of competition,
seemed to be regarded as a fit subject
