MEET THE WORLD.
BY EMMA RoDEMBYER WATT

Meet the world with splendid valor, And heart as true as steel; Bravely forward to the conflict
 With firm and unbounded zeal. Meet the world with faith unfinching, And with tenderness as strong AS the mightiest of warriors
 Purity will conquer wrong. Falter not nor grow discouraged,
 Let hopes fire forever burn; Meet the world with lofty purpose, And her best she will return.

Connecticut western news., 1912-09-12

With fine sarcasm the Woodbury Re porter man, who has evidently been in- specting the local tax lists, thus dispels the delusion that there are many auto mobiles in the town:
 "The impression that automobiles are expensive luxuries is all wrong. Also the impression that large numbers of them are owned in this vicinity is an error. Automobiles are few and cheap. By the assessment books it can be proven that only one or two or few machines belonging in this vicinity are worth as much as $500, while most of them are valued at $175 to $225. Thus do we ex' plode popular fallacy."

The most dangerous situation arose In

And here let me state that, from the
writer's own knowledge, the statement OF
the earl Of Northumberland that peace
was maintained through the uneeasIng
efforts Of the emperor Of Germany. lie
true. No surprise. this. He has reigned
thirty-odd years and his hand is still
guiltless Of shedding human blood. Under
his peaceful reign Germany has never re-
sorted to war.
Italy's attack upon Tripoli was lament

this unexpected outbreak Is about to be
