THE PARCELS POST.

It is not surprising that the coun-
 tries of Europe are watching with much interest for the putting into
 operation of the parcels post system
 in this country which comes on the first of the year. In those countries
 where it is in use and has been so
 successful through development it is with no little surprise that such an important department should be att
 tempted in the brief time of six
 months when such important prepar- ations are required for its successful operation. The service means the conduct of a huge enterprise differing
 in regard to the material handled
 though in detail much the same as the handling of the mail and yet with the complications of the various zones
 as to the charges
 It was not expected that the system
 would be perfect from the start, it | being considered that it could better be perfected through the discovery of it's errors and shortcomings and grad ually improved as such defects ap- peared. It is going to take time for | those who handle the business to be- come skilled in t, though they have been giving it careful and conscien- tious study The post office depart ment has made many improvements,
 the establishment of the rural deliv-
 cry system and the postal savings sys-
 tenn, both of which have received
 strong support and i'll long felt need.
 Each of them faced uncertainties but
 have proved highly successful and 1t
 can be expected that the parcels post
 will after being given fair trial
 prove likewise. Its success should be
 greater than either of the others.

THE HIGH COST oF HuNrlNc,

The heavy toll which is paid each season by the hunters whe go into the woods in search of game Is ap- palling and when 1t Is realized that
 In the season just closed 1o3 lost their
 lives and 51 more were injured in IS states, the danger from that sort of sport Is constantly increasing. The protection of the deer for a period until they should multiply and afford good hunting seems to have been an unwise step and what is happening In other states to hunters of deer is likely to be the fate of Connecticut hunters when the time for the open season on deer comes around. Thirty live of the deaths resulted from hunt CTS being shot by companions, many l of whom nlistook them for deer Mich igan was the largest sufferer, 26 | deaths and IS injuries resulting there,
 and so great was the danger from in experienced deer hunters that they had to be kept away from many sec 1 tions.
 Too much caution cannot be used by l those who go into the woods in search | of game. There must be a realiZa- tion of the danger to others. Inex | perience is to a large extent the cause of the large number of fatalities. Too { many go into the woods with no know ledge of gun, woodcraft or the hab- its of the game they are hunting, and when they hear a movement in the brush, fire without regard to what
 may be causing it, man, dog or deer. i Carelessness and the failure to realize
 the proper responsibility in guarding
 the discharge of the hunting piece are accountable for the high cost of hunt inc

per cent, making a total of 800 per cent. by the simple exchange of these two products. We will now cite an actual transaction near home. On Feb. 3, 1912, w. H. Byingten of Norwalk, Conn, bought a dozen strictly fresh laid eggs" for 50 cents, of the New York Grocery company. On one of the eggs was the following note; '"The pur-
 chaser of this egg is requested to con- ] municate with J. L. Thomson, Ready vile, Tenn" The New York Grocery company bought the eggs from Swift . & Co.'S Stamford branch cold storage
 fer 47 cents per dozen.
 Mr Thomson of Tennessee sold the
 eggs Dec. 10, 1911, for 17 cents per doz-
 en. We will now sum 1t up. The farmer in Tennessee sold them for IT
 cents per dozen (presumably) to Swift
 & Co.'S agent Swift & Go. sold them for AT cents. making 30 cents on each dozen, making 176 S-17 per cent. The
 grocery store paying fl cents and sold them for 50. making three cents per dozen, or a fraction over s per cent, and those strictly fresh laid eggs" were 55 days of age. The funny part is, that Franklin w. Taylor, counsel for the Mercantile Exchange, said:
 '''Fhe increase in the butter and egg
 business was made not by either the wholesalers or retailers, but by the farmers" We all know the consumer pays the bill It was the men who owned the money and paid 17 cents and sold for 47 cents, and the same men owned the cold storage and a
 share in the railroad transporting the eggs.
 It looks as though the consumer as well as the farmer needs some help. J. c. VALLETTE. North Franklin, Conn.

our best laughing is from sheer joy of life.
 Little children laugh at nothing, just as young lambs and puppies frisk; il is because they jingle with life-cur- rents, they are surcharged with cleo tric animality. And in us grown people there is the same kind of glee- expression, a deer laughter of the spirit, that often never gets so far as a smile on the lips.
 Laughter is the sign of life power It is the foam that breaks upon the crest of life's hugest waves. It Is the noise of the fountain. of creative pow CT. It is the war-shot of the soul tri- umphant.
 This inward jocularity and lightness always comes when we see a great truth, when we touch the heart of ma ture, when we glimpse God, or when we are made aware of our own abil- ity.
 Beware of any so-called truth that does not sparkle in the sun. Beware If any man who has no treasures of concealed mirth.

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY
THAT DINNER ENGAGEMENT

In the tiny parlor of the boarding house the clock ticbed monetonously. A blue bottle hummed in the window pane. Mrs. Hunt, the little landlady. creal1ed back and forth in the willow rocker as she looked over the daily paper. The telephone bell rang imper- atively. Mrs. Hunt sighed as she brought the rocker to a pause and laz- fly unfolded herself from it's comfort able depths.
 Hello! Yes, this is the Brownstone, Yes, Mrs. Howard Is in. Just hold the wire a moment, and I'll call her" Mrs. Hunt battered up the old fashioned stairs and tapped on door on the second floor Mrs. Howard, you are wanted on the phone"
 "All right. Mrs. Hunt Thank you"
 Mrs. Howard battered down the stairs in the little sandals that her friend Mrs. Channing- Brown had so thoughtfully brought to her from Chi ma. Hello" she cooed into the trans hitter. "Oh hello, Mrs. Brownl How are YOU, dear? That's good. Will I come over this evening? Yes, indeed, I'd love to- Thank you so much. I'll come over as soon as I'm dressed. All right. dear. Good bye"
 she danced up the stairs in pleas ant anticipation of lovely home cook ed meal at the Browns. Their maid was a jewel.
 Meanwhile Miss Harwood, third floor back, waited anXiously for the tele- phone call she had been expecting for the last hour. Her friends, the Fred Browns, had told her that if Mrs. Brown, who had been i'll, was better on Sunday they wanted Miss Har- wood to come to dinner and would tel ephone her between 3 and o'clock Sunday afternoon She tipped her straight back chair against the wall in an uncomfortable position and pOut- ed. It surely was a pity that Mrs. Brown should be i'll on such a fine day, when she. Letitia HarWood, was dying for a home dinner with the Browns and a delightful ride in the Browns automobile.
 In a short time Mrs. Howard came down the stairs, daintily clad in plum colored suit, with a hat to match, and passed out of the front door, hum- ming contentedly.
 Miss Harwood did not dare go for a walk for fear the phone would ring, so she reached forth a languid hand for 8 book and tried to forget her disap- pointment in the thrilling chapters of one of the six best sellers, The little clock licked busily eB, as she followed the hero through the battle, murder and sudden death. Finally she glanced at the clock and saw that it was half hour past dinner time at the Brown stone.

THE GOOD FELLOW cIIIB.

;. With the approach of the Christmas Aseason. with its joys and pleasures
 for many people, including the chil-
 en. there are hundreds in every com Ai1Intty who cannot anticipate and will not have a merry Christmas because of their circumstances. In Chicago an Interesting plan is being worked out whereby a Santa Claus will be pro- rided for these children who would DC made immeasureably happy to be given some of the nice things which other children will get. The Tribune of that city is putting those who are willing to be good fellows to one or more poor children in touch with de- serving ones, to whom they can be santa Claus without publicity. but Aby which a great deal of happiness ,nn bs distributed.
 ETery city has men, women, chil- Uen woo would be glad to help in such a way in the worthy cause. The Idea of doing something for those who place so much faith in Santa Clans has real appeal which will be more than compensated by the appreciation and joy the small effort will bring Charity segins at home and in such z eommendable way it can add great iy to the spirit of Christmastide. It IS a direction in which there is op- ] portunity for the accomplishment of much good When everyone desires to De eiassed as a good fellow Chicago seems to have hit upon a plan wherein there can be few restrictions. a plan worthy of reproduction elsewhere

THE TRAMP QUESTION.

What 10 do with the tramps. the drifting population who through hab- Us or inclination do not want to or cannot hold a permanent job, has been question with which many cities have wrestled Norwich has always dealt leniently with them, al- loving them the freedom of the town and providing them warm room to spend the night in. The bad have bean tolerated for the sake of the good az there are deserving men who Ind it necessary to ask for nights lodging. but the difficulty comes in ssparztfng the c1faff. The roundsr can ten as pit1f7l and worthy a story as the most deserving and he will man age to beg h!s living for several days in each city if permitted. Encourage nent however. only brings more. and nc end of trouble, Telling them to leave town had little effect even with threat of prosecution and the plan of escorting them out of the city and turning them loose makes them un- derstand that they are not wanted, that it Is not proposed to put them in jail where they will get a good living for the winter. and that if they are to continue to live such a life it must be done elsewhere and not with the encouragement of Norwich.
 The labor market Is such that they can get work If they want 1t. Many would refuse 1t If it was offered them and the great majority would decline a steady job so fast a hold has the Wanderiust got upon them. It re- mains for other towns and cities to Follow a Ike practice in escorting them out Of town and they will soon give s this section a wide berth.

ETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
Give Credit Where It Belongs.

Mir. Editor: I was reading in your valued paper about the bronze tablet that had been placed at the Stony l Brook reservoir, and could but feel the fact that some of the men who were so bitterly opposed to the project would allow their names to be used as the builders of a reservoir they did not believe one iota in, and who fought it with all the energy they were capable of, and at a cost of thousands of dol lars of the taxpayers money.
 When such men as Charles J. Win ters, Frederick R. Wasley, Patrick H. Reuben s. Bartlett, who by their afore thoughts, business ability and unselfish and painstaking labor for the betterment of the city of Norwich, who brought out the scheme that has been developed by these men whose names are on the bronze tablet, not by their own choice. but by compulsion of the citizens of Norwich in indignation meeting should be entirely ignored.
 Now, MT. Editor, in the name of all that Is fair and honorable, let the names of Charles J. Winters, Frederick R. Wasley, Patrick H. Hartman, Tim othy C. Kelley and Reuben s. Bartlett be engraved on a bronze tablet and plolCCu Oll IOIOlly bIOOh lSSCI NOlI eto lIiC men who conceived the idea, and gave of their thoughts, time and labor, in the cause of better and more water for the comfort and well being of the peo- pie of the city of Norwich, and the name of ex"Mayor Frederick L. Osgood might be added as the mayor of Nor wich when the project was conceived, who lent his influence and means to bring about better conditions in the water question.

If you suffer with backache - have pains in the neck or sides nervous or dizzy spells a few doses of Crox- one will relieve the congestion and you will be surprised how quickly all kidney, bladder and rheumatic trou- bles will disappear.
 Croxone is different from all other remedies. It is not like anything else on earth eyer used for the purpose. Pills, tablets, and other medicines merely stimulate the kidneys, at the best, giving only temporary relief. Croxone removes the cause. It starts to work the minute you take it and relieves your sufferings the very first time you use it. It is so prepared that 1t is practically impossible to take it into the human system with out results. You can secure an orig inal package of Croxone at trifiing cost from any first -class druggist such as The Lee 6 Osgood Co.,, who will personally return the purchase price if Croxone should fail in a single case.
