RURAL DELIVERY FINDS A VA. CANT CHAIR FOR SWEET
 SIXTEEN.

Editor Social Corner: We can sec no reason why Sweet Sixteen should wish to withdraw from the Corner; in fact. not half the reason we have for stepping down and out
 When the Social Corner first came out ln The Bulletin asking for writers, if we remember right, there was notE- ing said .about age, sex, or color and as we always like to write letters we sent number to the Corner from week to week. and we were much sur prised to learn We were in the midst of a large circle of ladies-ne gentle men i'll sight-so we made up our mind. perhaps, it would be better for the men folks to go out calling on neIShbor. or go down to the club room.
 Now, if the Corner is getting crowd ed, We will say to Sweet Sixteen, Stay with the sisters in the Social Corner and we will drop out and give you room. In the heading of the Social and just room for Sweet Sixteen. which we hope she will take and feel at home.

 No paper is more welcome in the rural districts than The Bulletin with the Social Corner letters. We heard one person remark the people grasp the paper as a drowning man would grasp straw. Whether we write any more for the Social Corner, or not, We shall always be as much interest ed as if we had been born Sister and could enjoy the social chats with them all. We will say no writer of The Corner has been more pleased to see the large family of writers The Bulletin now has ever ready for bus mess. If at any time there is room for us, and we can say a word to help along the Social Corner, we shall put the fountain pen into use

EARLY MORNING NOTES AND A
 FEW SUGGESTIONS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The carly morning hours are the pleasantest in summer, and I can enjoy the medley of bird songs from my window.
 There is one bird that adds his voice to the chorus with much force, making a sound very much like q chicken in distress. Nearly every spring 1 have hustled up, thinking there was some trouble with the baby chicks. when first hearing his loud cry. Have asked him if he hadn't just as soon sing as to make that noise.
 Housekeepers know that one hour lost in the morning is run after all day. It does take a little extra will power to be up and doing before , o'clock: but I always feel well re- paid, especially when I am playing tunes upon the faithful helper, the family washing machine.
 The cheerful pansy blossoms are coming. from the seeds sown in March; have not set them in the ground. for the cut worms destroyed my last ones.
 The first bed of pansies had when a girl, mother and l would go out in the evening and admire their thought ful, bright faces by lamplight. An acquaintance used to say they were hornely. monkey faces.
 I planted some peanuts in a flower pot. and they are coming up just like beans. Will report later upon my crop.
 The last of August cut off our Bal timore Belle rose slips about five inches long and potted them. keeping them in an eastern window, and three rooted and are now growing out doors.
 Have had quite good success driving away insects by spraying a table spoon of kerosene mixed with soap suds. We shall all be grateful and appreciate Brother Bromleys helpful advice upon rose culture. Success to all. BLANCHE.

Great preparations have been made by Townsend lodge, No. S9, I. c. O. F., of Waterbury, for the exercises attendant upon the dedication of the new monument in Pine Grove ceme- tery, next Sunday. All the grand off cers of the state have been invited, and practically all have signified their intention of being present, while there will be a host of visitors from other lodges in the state.
 After it had been found impossi- ible to secure desirable location at Riverside cemetery, Townsend lodge purchased a large plot at Pine Grove in 190S A little over year ago when it had been decided to remodel the County Court House in I4eaEen- worth street and arrangements had been made for the courts to hold their sessions in the Odd Fellows building, it was decided by Townsend lodge to use the moneys received for rental to defray- the expense of erecting a suitable monument on the plot. The committee appointed to take charge of the matter consisted of Past Grands George M- Chapman, Frank K. Woolwerth. John B. Gutf-

NATURE IS WHISPERING
 HER SECRETS.

Sisters of the Social Corner: Sum mer is once more with us in it's affiu- ent splendor. The dandelions lighted the grass plots with their golden discs a little while ago. and were trans formed into etheral flowers before they faded away Everywhere today the grass is green upon hillside and meadow, the bees are in the thickesI foliage and the birds are singing in the branches. The daisies with their gold and white come back to us with June armies and hosts that no man can count The roses are here again and wherever we look We again real the story of life at high tide.
 A few months ago the sisters of the Social Corner must hsJve convened around the fire. Todd we meet on the veranda with the breezes flaming our faces. the voices of children at play coming to us from open fields. and nature whispering to us her everlasI- ing secret of joy and blessing.

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.

Dear Editor and Friends of the So- cial Corner: A beautiful incident which happened during the Spanish-Am Ameri- can war, which I never shall forget. took place after the big naval battle a Santiago harbor. when brave Cap tain Phillips of the battIeship Texas called his subordinate officers and shipmates aft and said: Boys. let us give thanks to God. who has given us this victory"
 We cannot all do as did Captain Phillips, but that same spirit of grati- tude can so fill our hearts as it did his. l think We should not wait for times of diversity before we do this but let us make it the rule of our life to rem amber the Giver from whom all our blessings flow each day. for His mercies. which are new every morn ing. fresh every evening and repeated every moment of life.
 Then. while we are about our daily tasks. if we can speak word of praise now and then about this I think it will not only help ourselves but others.
 Mir. Phillips death occurred not great while after the war. when the secret of his life came out It was then his we'll worn guide book. the Bible, was found, and in it this verse was underscored: ''Whosoever there fore. shall confess me before men. him will l confess before my Father which is in heaven.
 Sweet. lovely. June is here. the ban ner month of all the year. for it is the time for strawberries. of weddings and the roses. I thought Sunday was the day of days. it seened so perfect. and all nature was calling for everyone to come out of doors ;" After meeting and when dinner was over, we took walk down and fingered by the brook side, there to listen to the music as the water went tumbling over the messy covered ledge. The day closed with a beautiful sunset O. these com mon. everyday blessings of life who can number them
