How to Live 100 Years.

Mrs. Bridget Costello of Meriden ha. lived to the ripe old age of 100 years She was therefore, qualified O express her opinion on the best way to achieve this distinction.
 She says: "Love people, and make them love you 1; don't worry, and forget about your nerves.'
 It will be observed that there is nOth- ing in this about tobacco or liquor. that no advice is given about the proper meth od of mastication. and that the pressing problem of the open air bedroom IS left untouched.
 Really, if one must take advice as apparently, one must, this ancient lady $ counsel is eminnently sound.
 There is no better advice for a great many people than the admonition to for get their nerves and stop worrying. And the easiest way to do this is to cultivate a wholesome love for the men and wo- men who comprize the great human family which is laboring, with fair de- gree of success, to make this world better place to live in.
 By adopting this simple philosophy of life, no one can be assured of living to be 1O5, which most people don't particular ly care to do. But anyone can be assur- ed of living far healthier, happier and more useful life. And mankind is pretty we'll agreed that when it comes to living it is quality and not quantity that counts.

Letters From the People
To the Editor of The News

To the Editor of The News:
 Perhaps strict observance of the pro- prieties suggests that I should direct this epistle to MT. A. J. Wlgglesworth, chairman of the banquet committee and my cheerful companion of the banquet table, but was the fortunate recipient of so many kindnesses last Thursday night that 1t occurs to me that can best express my gratitude for them in some such general way as this.
 To say that was treated like prince would be to couch the truth in mildest phrase. The memory of that genial hospitality, which flowed in gentle and unbroken stream from early evening un- til the stars had gone to rest. will always help to warm my heart. I saw your Great White Way--regal in its magnifi- Cence-and was dazzled by it's brilliancy. 1 walked your streets and met once more the friends 1 knew in youth. l placed where it would do the greatest possible amount of good a repast that have never seen excelled. listened to choice samples of Connecticut wit aud said with Whitman -"The magic river of laughter still flows unvexed between it's banks of rare and nameless beauty" heard the sweet melody of richest eloquence-that of yours and knightly Col. Osbosn with the rest-and marveled OCT the way it charmed my soul. slept in a bed like mother used to make, and in the cold. gray dawn of the morning after sped homeward on a trolley line the construo- tion of which I consistently advocated. in season and out of season, after came here to push a pen just IA years ago.
 Think of all this pleasure crowded in- to few brief and feeting hours How futile words are when one attemps to body forth appreciation There is no joy like that which comes from brother. hood-no happiness like that which springs from intercourse with friends. 1 like to think of the Canaan, not only of the past, but of the present and of the years ahead. Proud as her past has been, worthy as her present is, greater and sturdier. if not better, will her future be. May her lines be cast always where the pleasant pastures lie
 By the by, when the guest list for next years banquet is made up, 1 trust the committee will bear Tn mind that I am available always by letter, telephone or telegraph.
 Yours always,
 JOSEPH HOLLISTER.

Society Bars New Dance Step.

Mrs. J. Christopher Marks, president of the International Art society, who warned the guests attending the forth subscription dance of the society held at the Hotel Astor, that the dancing of the Turkey Trot," the Grizzly Bear" the "Boston Dip and other dances would not be tolerated.
 The Hartford Post says:
 Quite furry is being created in metro potitan society circles, by the disposition of the younger set to introduce popular dance hall steps, two of which are called the "Grizzly Bear" and the Turkey Trot."
 The professional dancing masters are against these riOtOus innovations. They are always in love with the more refined and graceful aspects of their art, and have commonly drowned down even the two step, as lacking in the more stately beauty and tending to mere rOmp.
 At the same time young blood tingling with rhythm will always demand frolic- some steps. In the country dances, the oldstsrs used to cut up pigeon wings until they were eighty, and the veneer of society clothes does not destroy the

Feed the Birds

The appeal of the Audubon society to the public to feed the birds is national in it's scope; and there ought to be no community anywhere that neglects to respond. It is not difficult return to make for the pleasure the birds give us and the service they do us. Some per = sons do not realize how many remain in this part of the country during the win ter or come hither from places further north for food. Except whe re there is snow on the ground they usually find it., although at all times "the birds lunch counter" is a great help to them. Be- sides the chickadees. woodpeckers. gold finches, nuthatches, waxwings and other birds that are always with us, there are such regular winter residents as the tree sparrows, juncOes and various warblers and finches that nest in higher attitudes,
 to say nothing of the song sparrows, robins and bluebirds who do not migrate with the majority of their fellows. Nor does this brief catalogue exhaust the list.
 Surely little pains in feeding the sing.
 CTS of our summers hours is the least we
 can do for them !-Providence Journal.

s"THE ROAD ANDITs PATRONS"

One of the by-products of the Business Mems banquet of great value to the town is that increase of acquaintance and interest which comes from the visit of men who represent other business mems associations, newspapers, and other cor porate and community interests. It is good advertising, to say the least. They were all impressed with the live associa- ton we have here, and they went away with new interest In, good will toward and respect for the business and social life of our community.
 For the general welfare of the con- munity perhaps the most important wis, itation was that of Supt Lake, repre- senting the railroad. Canaan has more than passing interest in the railroad. Without it this would still be "Puddin' Lane" and pasture. While the enterprise of our citizens has made the village, it was the road that made the village pos sible and it's life is still dependent upon the road. But we do not feel like bene- ficiaries, for the benefit is mutual. This was the substance of the remarks made by MT. Lake at the banquet. He assured his hearers that the road depended upon its patrons, and that there was a com munity of interest which the road recog- nized more now than it ever had, and that it was the purpose of those In au- thority to make the road of the greatest possible benefit to all the towns along their lines. This interest and intention is shown by the creation of the informa- tion bureau, of which MT. Seeley has been placed Tn charge. He said that the railroad welcomed criticisms and sug- gestions, as that was the only way they could know what their patrons wanted. Certainly those who heard MT. Lake felt that in him they had man who was as good as his word; that he would welcome all fair criticisms and would do his best, not only that justice might be done, but that the patrons might be pleased He ex- pressed himself repeatedly as being tre- mendously impressed with the Business Mems Association of this small town, and it is safe to say that we will have @ friend at court whenever we wish any thing that's fair. And it is also safe to say that those who met MT. Lake and felt his integrity, fairness and manifest good will must find allayed any suspicion which they may have entertained that the railroad was out to "do them and we trust that all of our demands" will be made with the consciousness that we are dealing with a gentleman-at least so far as we are dealing with MT. Lake. He said it was the ambition of MT. Mel len to make this the most effective rail- road property in the country. In our self interest, as we'll as our good will. we wish him and his co-workers all success.

Owing to the illness of Editor Rode meyer, the Connecticut Western News of Canaan, Conn, was edited this week by Pastor Gillette, a warm personal friend of the editor. For many years the only thing the News has lacked has been a little more eligion.-Pittsheld Eagle.
 ''The pastor" "denies the allegation and defies the allegator." He doesn t deny being a friend of the editor for on gen. eral principles he believes in being on good terms with the editor. But in this particular case he IS glad to be counted his friend, for he's pretty good fellow to tie up to.
 Neither does he deny helping the ed itor out by towering" few episodes and writing few editorial paragraphs. He has been accused of doing both the "devil's" work and the editors, but neither is true. It would be great in- justice to the men on regular News force to say that "the pastor" edited the pa- per. On the other hand, he likes to think that he has still never had a chance to show the world what 8 newspaper should be.
 AS to the last charge, we can't quite agree with the Eagle. The editor of The News has wisely left some phases of religion to the preaching of the preachers but when it comes to faith, hope and charity" as exercised toward his fellOwmen we think the editor of The News has given, it to us. And SO also in the matter of "peace and good will" They have been most effectively preached in The News under the text "Get together-Pull together" It may not be scriptural languagebut it certainly has the scriptural spirit. This preach ing has made possible the Canaan Busi- ness Mems Association, which may not be religious organization neverthe- less "the pastor" sad to the men of his flock on Sunday that it ought to be part of their religion to join the Business Mems Association as it is the only gen. eral organization of men that is working for the betterment of the conditions of life in Canaan. Religion is big thing these days and there is more than one way of preaching it. Keep on, John, with your preaching of harmony and goodwill.

desire of the young colt to lift it's heels from the floor.
 But judging by the pictures of the way these and other steps are being danced, their purpose is not merely phys ical kinkiness and vitality. It seems to be even more a general desire on the part of the young men to display their affection for the female sex by promis- cuous and close embraces, and vice versa as respects the girls. This is quite an other proposition.

THE CANAAN SPIRIT

Down in the bustling little town of Canaan, Conn.,, last night leading oiti- zens paused for season to talk about the past, the present and the future, to listen to suggestions in regard to the solu- tion of those big problems that intimately affect municipalities everywhere and to establish more firmly than ever the basis for the developm ent of that cooperative spirit without which, no town, no city, can make progress.
 In setting upon which the manage ment is to be congratulated, the annual banquet of the Canaan Business Mems association was held. Every feature of the whole affair was carefully staged. The dinner was fautless-the postpran- dial exercises brilliant to degree. Edl- tor John Rodemeyer presided as toast master and showed throughout his we'll known love for the eternal fitness of things. His introductory observations were pleasing-his words in presentation of each speaker thoroughly delightful. MT. Rodemeyer not only writes we'll he speaks we'll. He is born humorist.
 It was gracious privilege to listen to the we'll timed wit and the cheerful elo- quenoe of some of the best known think CTS and orators in the old Nutmeg state. Canaan is going to profit much on ao- count of this latest effort to promote the get-together, pull-together spirit con- corning which Mir. Rodemeyer writes SO often and so we'll.
 The banquet, in prospect, has been the talk of Canaan for several weeks Many things were promised for it and they all came abundantly true. Canaan has long been noted for it's splendid hospita- lity and for the high character of its citizenship. In wartime the town gave her bravest and her best to the country's service and is rioh today in the priceless legacy left her in their soldier lives. In peace, the towns citizenship has striven to uplift it's civic ideals and to lay stress upon those things which are clean and wholesome and of good re- port. True, Canaan has had her gravely disturbing problems, but she has met and settled them bravely as they have arisen, and has the proud assurance to- day that her best days are in the years ahead
 An event like the one in the large main dining room of the Garfield last night, reflects an honest desire to pro- mote community welfare and to make the towns people and it's homes and its institutions worthy of esteem. Other towns may we'll take from the Canaan example some measure of inspiration in the carrying on of those enterprises which rise nobly above the level of sor- dld things and which lat the world know that there amid the fields and hills eternal is lodged the ark of the GOV enant of our common country here is its majesty and its strength here the beginning of it's power and the end of it's responsibility"
 Berkshire county on the north and Litchfield county on the south ought to mean more to each other in future than they have signified in the past. They are joined now by material rails of steel; they should be linked by those figura- tive hoops of steel of which the poet sang. The Canaan banquet will help in the orgoing.-Pittsfield Eagle, Jan I9.
