Burmese Paeodas,

Eight or nine miles below Mandalay, in Burma, the right bank of the 1rra- waddy is hilly. and in the neighbor- hood of the old Burmese town of Sa- gaing the hills are dotted all over with pagodas. These are not temples (says writer in the September Wide World Magazine), but are built by pious people as offerings to the su- preme power, 1t being generally be- lieved that such acts of devotion count to the builders credit in the next world. The pagodas are of all kinds, according to the means of the build CTS, from primitive whitewashed struc- lures to ornate erections with gro- tesque gilded lions, The lions have various meanings, but stand chiefly as a reminder of unselflsh devotion. An ancient Burmese legend, taught to all Burmese children. is that of a lion- ess who nursed and guarded the baby son of a king and who died of a broken heart when the prince grew up and went away.

REPUBLICAN CLUBS OFFICERS
John D. Hall Chosen Pesiden-Executye Committee of Ten Named-Each to Select Ten Hepers-Rousng Speeches by President Hall and Hon. H. H. Gallup

The Norwich Republican club com pleted its organization by electing of ficers Tuesday evening at a meeting Tn the Buckingham Memorial attended by about 30 of the members, and at which two rousing but brief speeches presag- ing republican victory at the polls if worked for were made by John D. Hall, the newly elected president of the club, and Hon. H. H. Gallup, formerly state treasurer
 MT. Hall, who has been the actirG chairman of the organizations held, took the election for presidency only after powerful urging on the part of the club, as he pleaded that absorbing business engagements precluded the possibility of serving in this capacity.
 The nominating committee, consist ing of Ashley T. Boon, W. W. Ives, A. C. Green, George R. Hyde. George N. Beardew and c. K. Bailey. made its report.
 c. D. Moves urged the office of pres ident upon MT. Hall with some pleas ant. words about his acknowledged and demonstrated fitness for the place and his remarks were warmly second ed by John H. Burnes, William E. Young and H. H. Gallup. Mir. Hail suggested others for the place. such as F. W. Cary, William B. Young and c. D. Moves, but yielded at last to the in- sistenee of the meeting
 In accepting tho election he said that he believed the republican party wasn't dead yet and can win if its followers will so to work The issues are clearly defined and business men must wake up to what is threatening them or the country will regret it. The referendum. recall and some other measures are not new; they are old as Greece and Rome. They began back there and from them in the process of governmental evoltion the republic has come. Now you are oh dangerous ground. if you talk about being progressive and going forward, lest after all you slip backward and the strong hand will come in and you will be right back in civil government where the race began.
 The founders of our constitution were mighty wise in their day and generation, said MT. Hall, and the won- der Is how they drafted such an ad : mirable constitution for our govern ment. Let the republicans now put their shoulders to the wheel. for be- tween now and election time there lB to be tremendous drift away from these new notions that are held up be- fore the people. If we follow these new ideas put forward as progressive some men are going to have occasion to regret it.
 There was hearty burst of applause for Mir. Hall when he gave his consent to be elected, as well as when he closed his speech.
 The other officers were elected as follows: Vice president. John Eccles; secretary, Albert J. Bailey; treasurer.

 Each man on the executive commit
 tee is to select ten men in his district
 to work with him for republican sue- cess.
 Chairman Edwin L. Burnap of the , town committee told the meeting of expectations of having republican
 headquarters where the club might hold meetings and these would prob | ably be secured in day or two. L. O. Smith, one of the members of the executive committee, who came in late, was notified of hts election and called upon for a speech, to which he responded by thanking the club for
 the honor of the election. He was glad
 to see so many taking an interest in the affairs of. the country, and wa could well be proud of the republican party and it's record for the past fifty years, a record. that few parties could
 approach. The world looks to the United States as a model of all that IS good and the republican party has had much to do with it. He was warmly applauded.
 l H. H. Gallup spoke for a member i ship of from 500 to 1000, saying that the republicans are going to win. They ] have splendid national ticket, a clean state ticket bound to be a winner since Judge Studley was to carry the state. 1 Governor Baldwin would never be elected again on a f1uke, as he was at the last election. Mir Gallup praised William A. King as strong candi-
 date for congress from this district, identified with the cotton and mill | interests upon which this sections
 prosperity so largely depends. Speaking of the great importance of tariff legislation to New England and Connecticut, MT. Gallup said that Will
 son would have behind him the same old crowd that dictated the policy of
 the democratic party and their policy
 would be that of Champ Clark, who would close every custom house in the country. President Taft's veto,
 MT. Gallup said. had saved the mili
 and the manufacturing interests of
 eastern Connecticut and the people
 ought to know and realize it.
 l He was given enthusiastic applause
 as he concluded.

 King, and advocated having him here to make an address

Last Man in th. stooks.

The punishment of the stocks has been inflicted within the memory of many living men. In the Manchester Guardian of June 14. 1872, there is an account of a man enduring this form of legal torture at Newbury. He was rag and bone dealer of incorporate habits and was fixed in the stocks for drunk and disorderly conduct at the parish church.
 "Twenty-six years had elapsed since the stocks were last used" runs the account and their reappearance cre- ated no little sensation and amuse- ment, several hundreds of persons be- ing attracted to the spot where they were fixed" The amusement" does not appear to have been shared by the prisoner, who was released after four hours, and seemed anything but pleased with the laughter and derIs- ion of the crowd."-The London Chronicle.
