Chicken Thief in Coventry.

As result of the activity of chicken thieves in and around Coventry the past few weeks, State Policemen Rob- ert T. Hurley and Theodore F. Down ing of Hartford investigated the case Monday, and it is believed that suffi- cient evidence has been obtained to fasten the crime upon a certain young man said to be prominently known in the village. It is understood that the same fellow was shot in a chicken coop not long since.
 The pillagins by the thief has caused not few of the cftfzens of the town quite little concern and iafs appre- hension will be great relief. The monetary loss has not been such a great item, as far As fs known, but the constant drain upon henneries at last ceased to be tolsra ted and action had to be taken. The matter will be aHatc- ably adjusted without any great delay, it is believed.

OUR ALASKAN INVESTIGA-
TON.
TON

When the committee in the Alaskan
investigation reconvened, President Taft
was still on the stand.
Mr.. Comstock Mr.. Taft, what do you
know about the morals of Alaska?
Mr.. Taft; Morals is a matter with
which l have nothing to do. That 1 can

truthfully say that have consulted my
brother, Mr.. Charles p Taft, and | can
truthfully say that he is in no way
mixed up in the morals of that great
natural resource, never has been and
never will be.
Mr.. Abbott: Speaking of brothers,
is it not fact that your administra-
ton would be much pleasanter all
around if you hadn't quite so many
relatives?
Mr.. Taft: Possibly. But when rnere
is. president in the family, you can't
blame relatives for trying to make all
they can out of it.
King George: OF course not. By the
way, would you like to sell Alaska?
Mr. Taft; Mercy, mol A republic
never sells anything. We either give it
away OF let somebody steal it. Only in
one of those two ways can individual
initiative be preserved and the public
domain developed.
Mr. Debs You stated in your mes
sage that you desired to encourage in
vestment in Alaska. How do you pro
pose to do it?
Mr. Taft; By giving away valuable
grants of land and rights of way.
Mr.. Hammerstein: But it requires no
investment to receive land and rights of
way gratis.
Mr. Taft 1t is quite evident you do
not understand our leading American

unless they can get it for nothing.

INCENTIVE TO HONESTY.

District Attorney Wise, Of New York,
recently remarked that of the employees
of a wrecked houk who testified for the
government in criminal proceedings
against the president of the concern. not
one is now employed in New York
bank
Mr. Wise seems to have inferred that
a bank clerk whose testimony, under
court subpoena, helps send his superior
to the penitentiary is not regarded with
favor by other bankers No one should
infer, however, that other banks really
wish a dishonest bank president TO escape
punishment On the contrary. of late,
bigcity banks have taken much pains
and expense to enforce sound banking.
Very likely they are not exempt, how
ever, from the general rule that con
scientous independence on the part of a
subordinate doesn't specially appeal to
employers.
Keeping the institutions conscience ~
the prerogtivc of the boss, with which
mere clerks are not supposed to meddle
Undoubtedly many employers whose own
dealings are well within the law would
forgive periurous loyalty to an employer
more readily than they would forgive
enforced divulgence of discriminating Of
flee secrets to a public prosecutor,
/ Tho dntV tbot fbo clorls ,troa IN his
employer is supposed TO be superior to
the duty he owes to society which nat
urally brings up another reason for the
condition mentioned by Mr.. Wise. When
bank fails, the older and more al
vanced clerks find themselves at ire
mendous disadvantage Banking is their
trade; but other banks, as rule, want
only young men who will begin at the
bottom and work up. They have admir-
able civil-service rules, under which the
more responsible better-p paid positions
are filled by promotion.
The advanced clerk in wrecked bank
confronts a system that has no place for
him. The president who wrecked the
bank has robbed him of the benefits of
his experience and thrust him, compare
the beginning. The president, in short,
owed no duty whatever to the clerks
or, if he did owe duty, he certainly
didn't pay it.-Saturday Evening Post.

ONLY A FEW CENTS.

In the Stone Age a family named
Smith consisted of grandfather, grand
mother, father, mother and seven off
spring. A neighbor named Jones, in a
moment of sportive inebriety, dropped
a large rock into the Smith domicile and
broke one of the childrens legs. When
the Smiths protested he demonstrated
by means of sticks that, as the family
originally possessed twenty two legs and
he had broken only one his damage
amounted merely to four and half per
cent, which was small matter to make
trouble between neighbors.
This arithmetical method has been ex-
tensively used ever since A recent tariff
argument affords a typical illustration
of it, as follows: Customs duties
amount to three dollars and a half
head. The democrats, Judging by the
bills that passed the house at the extra
session, will reduce these duties at most
by onefourth One fourth of three dol
lars and half is eighty seven and one
half cents. Therefore, if a democratic
president and congress are elected it will
make difference of only eighty seven
and a half cents to each voter
The wool in an ordinary suit of clothes
costs only three or four dollars; SO what
difference does it really make to the
consumer whether the tariff is a little
higher or little lower? The freight
on a pair of shoes from Boston to St.
Louis is only few cents; so why should
anybody object to twenty per cent adj
vance in freight rates? The Steel Trust
issued five hundred million dollars of
common stock that was water, on which
it pays five per cent dividends; but if
you divide the dividends by the output
you will see that to the man who buys
a hundred pounds of barbed wire it
really amounts to nothing at all.
Hardly any problem comes up but
somebody is at hand to work simple
example in long division and thus prove
that the thing is really too trivial to
talk about. A grave is only five feet
deep; but it makes quite a difference
whether you are at the top or the bot
tom.

INGERSoLL'S TRIBUTE TO
WOMAN.

1t takes a hundred men to make an
encampment, but one woman can make
home. | not only admire woman as
the most beautiful creature that was
ever created, but / reverence her as the
most redeeming glory of humanity, the
sanctuary of all the virtues, the pledge
.of all perfect qualities of heart and
head. 1t is not just nor right to lay
sins of men at the feet of women. 1t
is because women are so much better
than men, that their faults are consfd-
cred greater. A mans desire is the
foundation of his love, but a woman's
desire is born of her love. The one
thing in this world that is constant, the
one peak that arises above all Clouds
the one window in which the light for.
ever burns, the one star that darkness
cannot quench, is woman's love. 1t
rises to the greatest height, it sinks to
the lowest depths, it forgives the worst
injuries 1t is perennial of life and
grows in every climate. Neither cold
ness nor neglect, harshness nor cruelty
can eXtinguish it. A womans love is
the perfume of the heart This is the
real love that subdues the earth; the
love that has wrought all miracles of
art, that gives us music all the way
from the cradle songs to the grand clos
ing symphony that bears the soul away
on wings of fire. A love that is greater
than power, sweeter than life and
stronger than death.-Robert G. Inger-
