Q.-Piease explain Jeremiah Ii, 12, 13? What are the "heavens" referred to; and what do the "broken cisterns that can hold no water" represent? (B. s. Al

THROWING THEIR LIVES AWAY.

Steady advances are being made to- wards perfection of the aeroplane and spreading of interest in it's operation. All over the country there are mechan- ics becoming so interested in the flying machines that local talent is becoming engaged in their manufacture. Most of these models look fine, but the dif- lculty appears to be in getting them into the air. Norwich has put forward no less than four models of aeroplanes, the last a monoplane by Edson Gallau- det, which it is believed will be a suc- cess. Mir. Gallaudet has long been in- terested in aeronautics, and it is to be hoped that the time, effort and money that he has put into the cause will have good results in his trial of the latest machine at Hampstead. The fact that it is a Norwich output is reason enough to excite local admiration.
 Almost daily progress is being made in the air machines. but the sad feat ure comes from the reckless display of overcon6dence by the birdmen, where by many of the best of the aero nauts are foolishly throwing away their lives in doing sensational dips and manouevres so that the best of the experts are ending their careers heed lessy rather than like martyrs and for the benefit of the cause.

 Very ingenious" he admitted. "but there has been an epidemic of sneak thievery in Chester lately ,and l should not be surprised to find that I Lave located the culprit."
 Are you going to arrest me@' she cried in terror. Wont you wait un- til mother comes home?"
 He scoffed the suggestion, but in the and her earnestness half convinced him, and he grudgingly consented to wait. Betty led the way to the Yar- Tor, whither the stranger, still carry ing the bank. followed.
 It was not long before she convlnc- ed him that a mistake had been made, but by then they had grown so in teresled in their cha- that ho;h fr,gat t!e I. a1inee.
 He was George Hawley, he told her. He lived with his mother next door to the Mace cottage Betty began 10 tell more about herself, and almost be- fore they realized how time was pass ing there came a rattle of the key in the lock and Mrs. Mace hurried into the room dragging the reluctant Bob- by by the hand
 Her white, drawn face relaxed as she caught sight of Betty.
 Well, l declare" she parted, as she dropped into a seat. Here I've been hurrying back from town think ing that you had been murdered by the sneak thieves, and there you sit as comfortable as you please, talk ing with MT. Hawley. l sold the man in the ticket office our seats and Bobby cried all the way home because he missed the show"
 Its all my fault" declared Gregory. "I never knew you had a daughter and you told me that the house would be closed this afternoon. So when saw a young woman climb into the kitchen window and presently emerge with toy bank and go into the wood shed with it I flew to the rescue of the banking institution
 q guess it's nobody's fault" laughed Mrs. Mace, when the situation had been fully explained. Its one of those things that's just bound to happen"
 "All the same" the man said, q think it should be my privilege to make up to Bobby for his disappointment of this afternoon. Mother and were go- ing to the theater this evening. Let's make it a party?"
 Late that evening Betty and Gregory stood at the gate. Her mother and Bobby had already gone inside and Mrs. Hawley had passed on to her own home.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
How R0oseveIt Manaaer sees t.

MT. Editor: The writer clips from the Providence Journal the following, e1ttled "A Broadening Chasm:"
 The chasm between the president and Mr. Roosevelt is steadily broaden ing, as the pointed remarks of Mr. Taft at Philadelphia on Saturday eve ming and the caustic retort of Mir, Roosevelt at New York twenty-four hours later abundantly indicate. MT. Taft did not mention his predecessor at Philadelphia, but there is no mis- taking the direction of his thrusts."
 Sure: The manly" difference be- tween Taft and Roosevelt consists in the fact that Taft intimates, while Roosevelt promulgates. Again, the Journal says:
 ITO what extent the feud between the president and his predecessor, once the best of friends, will widen is question"
 As regards the much heralded be- trayal of friendship by Roosevelt, Taft was the first to make the break, as he encouraged, instead of condemning personal attacks made on Roosevelt in congress.
 But, aside from this, if The Bulletin will permit, let the Old Man show where Taft violates the bonds of friendship between himself and the people, for auotEer four years of spe- cial interest government-Where he spurns the man that earns a crust, and tramples justice in the dust, and heart and soul is for the trusts
 He nullified by executive action the good work of Dr. Wiley against the pure food prisoners, and at the same time todied to Aldrich, Cannon, Pen rose, Cox, Herrin and Barnes-alI of them for Taft, enemies of the plain people and popular government. Now, Dear Reader, note the difference. Who stands today for the country's good ? Who has for the peoples interest stood To give them freedom without blood?
 Why, Theodore Roosevelt.
 Now, Dear Bulletin and Readers, may the kindly feeling entertained by the Old Man toward you all touch a re- sponsiye chord in your tenderloins, and until lie in bas relief all that remains of this mortal sheaf, let me live pro bono publico, a friend to all-both friend and foe. Inprimatur
 J, w. MILLER. Jewett City. Ct.
 (Dr. Wiley, who is d democrat, has expressed himself as perfectly satis- fled with his treatment by the presi- dent, and is Taft man.-Ed.)

TAFT SENTIMENT EVERYWHERE.

At the opening of a vital week in the presidential campaign there comes re- nevsd indications that Taft is the favorits Each day sees the further waning of Roosevelt's candidacy. The states where he looked for his great est support are turning to Taft and the bitterest of all is the accusation of the LaFollette managers that Roose- welt is DO progressive. To be classed with those whom he is opposing must be humiliating, to say the least.
 Tn the state of Pennsylvania where SO much has been done in the effort to push Roosevelts policies forward, it is doubtful fl he will get over ten of the 76 delegates This is an important state. being next to New York in size of delegation. There is some Roose- welt sentiment in that section, but it is scattered and without leadership. That there is assurance of 66 delegates for Taft will make a fitting week end finish to the promised results in other states The indications from Ken lacky are that the president will have practically the entire delegation in- stead of a split delegation, and Ne vada will send delegates instructed for Taft Texas is going on record for Taft as the county conventions are being held, and Kansas is doing the same despite Governor Stubbs. The hopelessness Of the Roosevelt cam paign will be SO evident 10 the ex- presidents supporters in another week that they will be affixing the mourn ing badge Co the money bags in re- gret over the absolute unappreciated waste of good money and valuable time
 Besides the instruction of the dele gates 5t the New York convention today. which will be done simply to demonstrate the certainty 0f the Taft sentiment in the largest of the piy- otal states, there will be launched the boom for the renomination of Vice President James sherman There is a strong sentiment in New York state for his return to Washington, and no opposition has been heard 10 his can didacy. He has proved @ capable off cial in all capacities and is entitled to the nomination. Taft and sherman accomplished good results in the pass ing term and would yoke up well again for the second term.

OF CORPORATIONS.

Several interesting statements are made by Commissioner of Corpora tions Herbert Knox Smith in his an nual report to the secretary of com merce and labor. He points out, with the certainty that recent effofts have substantiated, that it is impossible to enforce effectively any real system of restraint through the courts alone" in dealing with corporate combinations
 Following such cases as those which concerned the Standard Oil company and the American Tobacco company, where disintegration resulted after long litigation, there is no way of knowing how much, if any, the people will be benefited therefrom. The courts have done all in their power in the matter-that is, given their decisions in accordance with the law, but new legislation seems to be necessary to have it determined whether the de- sired end is being obtained Commis sioner Smith advocates in connection with such great industries that the fu ture of these new units cannot be fore seen, and that there is need of a law which will require them to submit to constant inspection by a federal off cer.
 Whether these units will develop competition or still operate with an un- derstanding to control trade in certain channels remains to be determined, but the problem of the commissioner pol icy towards industrial corporations is likewise unmet.
 The impossibility of an effective sys- tenn of restraint on business through the courts, because of the complicat- ed corporate interests and steadily changing business conditions, leads the commissioner to advise a permanent administrative office of the government through which to supervise interstate corporate business. How to get a bus mess machinery of high efficiency to serve the best interests of the people and the operators is the problem which the commissioner is endeavoring to work out. He has a hard uphill road before him, with plenty of assurance of support from the people, but Q deter rent corporate force which has so far proved insurmountable. Such legisla- ton must come to bring about the de sired ends.

NATIONAL DRAINAGE CONGRESS.

This Is the week for the national drainage congress to meet in New Or leans. al the mouth of the Mississippi river. along the banks of which at the present time the question of drainage Is paramount. The congress, however, has to do with the entire country where low and swampy land is found. Reports show that there are about 250. .0o0 GOO acres which need drainage, this being an area corresponding to the size Of Germany. Great Britain, Belgium and Holland The chief ob- ject of this non n-moneymal1ing organ ization is to promote state and na- tional legislation, which will help to bring about the desired end. Federal help Is sought because the problems are SO general as Co demand the gov ernment's attention. There is pro- ductiveness Go be developed by draining the lowlands and bringing them from their present uselessness to an improy- Cd condition. The department of agri- culture reports that 150.000,000 acres of the entire amount needing drain age would be benefited 20 per cent. The result Of such improved land would add four billions a year to the public wealth. is the broad claim of the congress. and that under cultiva- ton t would sustain a population of over i25.000 O00 It applies to sec lions which are subject to periodical floods. SO that the Mississippi valley will be a glaring example of the need or attention.

Don't Want a Dirty Rose.

MT. Editor: As this is the house. cleaning season, in fact the season for a general all-ar0und cleaning, we should be looking to our backyards, as well as front yards and streets.
 Speaking of streets, let me say right here that l am living on a very pleas ant street, centrally located, as nice looking street as any we have when it is kept clean, which is about all the time.
 On this street is large billboard. Now, this billboard in itself is all right. It Is not the only one in our city; but as I pass 1t daily it seems like the only one. because of the litter from it that is continually blowing up and down the street, spelling other places that otherwise would look well.
 I believe that anything and every thing can be kept clean, if all would take pride in their work that it may show off to the best advantage.
 While we may never have a spot less town, we want to make a good show in that direction, any way. Do you not think so? We do not want a dirty Rose.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
BETTY'S BANK BURGLARY

Betty fastened her veil and caught up her pocket book. If she hurried she would catch the trolley that would take her to town in time for the matinee. She was to meet her mother in the lobby Mrs. Mace had gone into town to shop earlier in the morning.
 She hurried along the shady street and just as she reached the bridge she heard the hum of the trolley and auickened her pace into a run. There was a loose plank on the footwalk against which she stumbled and went sprawling against the muddy boards, while the tiny pocketbook flew from her grasp and went spinning across the blanks and into the river below.
 The little suburban street was de- serted and there was no one to help her, so Betty picked herself up and ruefully surveyed her muddied skirt. It could be cleaned presently, when it had dried and she turned and trudged back to the house.
 It was not until she passed up the walk that she realized with a gasp that her keys were in her purse and

 The skirt was drying nicely.

The Maces had moved in only the week before and Betty had come only that morning. Not a soul in Chester knew her and she was in Ges- pair until her glance fell upon I3oobys toy bank.
 It was a cheap iron affair She could get him another up in town and pay back the carfare with interest. She slipped out of the back door ano into the woodshed She placed th3 bank upon the block and raised the ax.

The Democratic Situation.

Mir Editor The following that may be of interest to people who are in these days scanning the paper for all kinds of political stTaWs. Thes iUua- tlor in the democratic party is not one of ice cream and cake, but d little wormwood is being mixed in as well.
 To begin with, Hon. Bryan F. Mahan of New London, Hon. C. W. Cumstock of Montville, Dr J. J. Donahue of this city Hon. Daniel p. Dunn of Wili-
 mantle, Hon. Lyman G. Tingier of Tol- land county Hon. Rollin C. Tyler of MlddleseX county Hon. W. C. Fisher and seI eral smaller fry are out for the ten places of district delegates to Bal timore. The old rule of each congress sional district sending one at large and each county one district delegate is new thing of the past. The four western counties get the district dele gate each and the four eastern coun-
 ties get two between them.
 This section of the state gets one at large if the big cities so will. other
 wise they do not.
 While the interesting squabbe for a
 place on the Baltimore delegation is
 going on, the district will have a red { hot congressional fight between Dunn, Mahan and Jodo!n.
 While all of these matters are under discussion a quiet move has been started headed f- q Grand Army man, q prominent veterans son a spanish war veteran ard member of Union Veterans union. to get q heavily sign ed petition ot old soldiers and their friends presented to the next conven- tion against the renomination of Sim cen E.
