in character of the northern and
southern people. In the north the
people are more independent; in
the south they are more social.
The northern people have more
initiative; they are natural pio-
neers. The southern people are
more docile, and get better under
the restraints and restrictions of
city life. 1t is said, also, that
this explains why it is that the
people who are now coming to
America from the south of Europe
although most of them come from
the land, do not go out into the
country districts in America, but
prefer to live in the cities. or, as
seems to be the case with the Ital-
ians, colonize the suburbs of the
great cities.
Another great thing that inter
ested me was the sight of women
working on the land. i had not
gone far on my way south from
Berlin before my attention was at
tracted by the number of women
in the fields. AS l proceeded
southwark, the number of these
women laborers steadily increased
until they equaled and even outl
numbered the men. One of these

at hand; she was coa1sely clad,
barefoot, and carried a rake over
her shoulder. | had seen pictures
of something like that before, but
never the real thing.
Outside of Italy L have rarely
seen men going barefoot either in
the country or in the city, but in
southern Europe it seems to be the
custom among the working women

the lower position which women
occupy among the people OF south
ern Europe as compared with the
position that they occupy in Amer
lea. 1 saw many barefoot women
later in the course of my journey,
both in the field and elsewhere.
l confess, however. / was surprised
to meet in Vienna, Austria, as |
did on several occasions while L
was there, women walking bare
foot on the pavements in one of
the most fashionable streets of the
city. One day, in speaking to
native Austrian, | expressed my
surprise at what L had seen.
"Oh, WE'LL" he replied, "they are
Slovaks."
How wildly this reminded me
of parallel remark with which L
was familiar, 'Oh, well, they are
Negroes!"

LIFE AND LABOR ON THE CONTINENT. THE SECOND
ARTICLE WRITTEN BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
BASED ON OBSERVATIONS ABROAD.

One clear, cold morning, about
the first of September, | took a
train at Bonar Bridge, in the north
of Scotland, southwest bound.
There was "a cold wind blowing,
and Bonar Bridge is about the
latitude. as I learned from looking
at nv atlas, of northern Labrador
farther north, in fact, than | had
ever my lifetime dreamed of going.
I spent the next four or five
hours looking out of car window
across the bleak, brown moors,
stud ying the fiocks of sheep and
the little thatch-roofed cottages
clinging to the lonesome hillsides.
Three days later | was in the
beautiful mountain region below
Dresden, on my way to Plague, the
capital of Bohemia. In many
WAYS conditions in the farming
regions of Bohemia are quite as
primitive ar they are among the
crofters of northern Scotland.
There are, for example, a larger
number of small farmers owning
their own land in Bohemia than
there are in Scotland. but the
Scottish crofter, although he re-
mains a tenant on small estate,
has. at the present time, a more
secure position on the soil than the
man who rents his land in Bohem-
ia In other respects the Scotch
H;ohlanders, whose country L had
inst left. and the Czechs, whose
country l was just entering are |
should say, about as different as
one could we'll imagine.
Among other things I noticed
that the farming people in this
mart of the world do not live apart,
. scattered about in the open coun-
try, as they do in Scotland and as
in the case everywhere in America
On the contrary, the Bohemian
farmers live huddled together in
little villages, in the center OF the
surrounding fields, from which

These different manners OF set

from those in the South. Inc

1t was the tone of this reply
that caught my attention. 1t en-
phasized what / soon discovered to
be another distinguishing feature
of life in southern Europe. Evefy-
where | went in Austria and Hun
gary | found the people divided
according to the race to which they
belonged. There was one race at
the top, another at the bottom,
and then there were perhaps two
or three other races which occu-
pied positions relatively higher or
lower in between. In most cases
it was some section of the Slavic
race. of which there are some five
or six different branches in the
Austrian Empire, which was at the
bottom.
Several times, in my efforts to
find out something about these So
called "inferior people,, l made
inquiries about them among their
more successful neigh bbors. In al
most every case, no matter whaS
race it happened to be to which
[ referred | received the same an
swer. / vas told that they were
lazy and would not work; thai they
had no initiative; that they were
immoral and not fitted for to gov
ern themselves. AT the same time
[ found them doing nearly all the
really hard, disagreeable, and i'll
paid labor that was being done.
Usually | found, also, that, with
fewer opportunities than the peo-
pie around them, they were max
ing progress.
was frequently surprised at the
bitterness between the races. L
have heard people talk more vio-
lently, but 1 do not think l have
heard any one say anything worse
in regard to the Negro than some
of the statements that are made by
mem bers of one race in Austria in
regard to members of some other.
| reached the city of Prague late
at night, and woke next morning
in a world that was utterly new to
me. 1t was not that Prague look
ed SO different from other Europ-
can cities l had seen, but the
language sounded more strange
than anything else | had ever
seen, but | do not pretend to un-
derstand German, yet it seemed to
me that there was something ia

bors to learn it. Preserving its
own language is not difficult in the
country districts, where each race
lives apart in its own districts,
where each race lives apart in its
own village and maintains its own
peculiar customs and traditions.
1t is more difficult in the large
cities, Vienna and Budapest,
where the different nationalities
come in intimate contact with
each other and with the larger
European world.

NEW RURAL ROUTE
Laid Out by Inspector Pendeton-To
 Start from Sterling Office.

Inspector C. H. Pendleton of the postoffice department has completed the layout of the new rural delivery route that is to start from the Sterling, Conn, office The new route will take in about six miles of the layout now included in the route from the Dan ielson office, this change being made because the territory in question can 'oe nore readily served from Sterling. To compensate for this subtraction from the DanielSon route about 1-2 miles of new route will be added to the DanielSon carriers trip, this new part being over highways in the vi- cinity of South Killingly.
 It is not probable that the new route will be in operation before spring, as considerable time, several months, must elapse before all the details of establishing are compiled with, this including the conducting of examina tions for a carrier.

Sheriff SibIey Recalls interesting Hap penings During Bay State Visits John McNaIIy Gets Too Much of a Good Thing-New Rural Route.


 Sheriff and Mrs. Preston B. Sibley have returned from visit with their daughter, Mrs. Robert LoOmiS, at Northampton, Mass, where Professor Loomis is engaged as director of the Smith Agricultural school. which was established about three years ago. In 1S44 Mr. Smith left by will s30,0oO, and that sum when it amounted to s300.0eO, which was in 1908. was used for the school buildings erected upon a fine tract of ninety acres. The school is for training boys along agricultural and industrial lines, and for preparing girls in domestic science and other lines of work in such a way that it is a pleasure for anyone to witness the fine results that are being achieved
 In connection with his recent visit to that section Sheriff Sibley recalls two other visits there that were almost coincident with two noted happenings. One of these was in 1874, when the Williamsburg dam gave way and over 150 lives were lost, besides the total destruction of Haydenville, Florence and Leeds. His second visit was Jan uary 27, 1876, the day after one of the greatest bank robberies ever commit ted in this country, when over s1.250,- 900 in cash, stocks and bonds were taken from the Northampton bank
 Sheriff SibIey recalls well having read on the walls of the bank pla- card on which was inscribed -Four keyed lock. No use for burglars to come here." The key was so construct ed that the four officials of the bank had to come together before the vault could be opened On account of this the bank was regarded as absolutely burglar proof. but by as sensational methods as are set down in the crim- inal annuals of the country, burglars did get in, and footed the vault of the great fortune mentioned.
 Some time afterards, through a New York paper, the burglars attempted to open negotiations for the return of the loot for the sum of $15o,0G0, but the offer was refused by the bank people. Two years after the crime was committed the Pinkerton agency found and arrested the burglars in Philadel- phia. The men, James Dunlop, Robert Scott and w F. Edson, all notorious bank robbers, and Edson Q. safe ex- pert as well, were tried at Northamp ton EdSon turned states evidence. Dunlop and Scott each received a sen tence of 20 years. Most of the bonds and stocks taken were returned In his recent visit to Northampton Sher- if Sibley visited the old bank build ing, now used as an express company's office. and talked with many citizens in whose minds the incidents of the great robbery remain as vivid as ever.

Rumored Site ef New Building for

There was an interesting story cir culating about town Wednesday to the effect that the Elizabeth Carpenter estate on South Main street had been sold as a site for a building to be used jointly as an exchange by the South ern New England Telephone and Western Union companies. The prop erty upon which there is a brick build ing has q 65-foot frontage on South Main street and extends through to School street. It has been understood for some time that negotiations for the property for the purpose indica ted were under way and the hope was eX- pressed that the deal would be car ried through, because such a building as the wire service companies would be apt to erect would be a fitting structure to be close to the author ized federal postofice building, which is to be put up at the corner of Grove and South Main streets
 It is known that the telephone in terests have been considering for some time a change of their central office building from the present location at the southern extremity of South Main street to more central location, such as the one it is rumored has been pur- chased.
