IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

We who know the Lone Trail fain
 would follow it.
 Though it lead to glory or the darkness
 of the pit;
 Ye who take the Lone Trail bid your
 love good bye;
 The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow
 till you die!"
 All under this teeming business roaring cities, sparkling society, cla- mant civilization, music, life and color are the Silent Souls.
 They do not do. They think. They are despised and rejected of men Armies do not cheer them. Women dc not seek thir kisses.
 We dread loneliness. The smaller We are the more we dread it. It af- fects us as hunger, thirst. homesick- TOT of it makes cities. The dread of it makes crimes.
 And yet every soul that has become great has had to learn the lesson of loneliness. We can do great things by companies; 1t is only alone we can be great
 Jesus was 40 days in the wilderness "mewdng his mighty youth;" Paul had to flee to the wilds before he bgean his career; Buddha found the great Truth under the Bo tree when he had long soaked himself in silence; Mahomet's vision came in his still, dark cave. There are some things you can dc by geniality, but you are never going to get the great realities of life right ly set to your shoulders except by be- ing alone.
 It is the lovers of solitude that have explored the ends of the earth, founded empires, bred races of free and con quering people extinguished savagery advanced the growth of science, phil osophy and all learning. and reformed and rejuvenated religion. 1 Bid good bye to sweetheart, bid good bye to friend

 This is distinctly valuable addition to the literature of Norwich and is so handsomely bound that it may deck the parlor table. While little tardy, it will be found to be a delight to any son or daughter of Norwich who may possess a copy.
 The work was done by William c. Gilman under peculiarly trying cir oumstances, and, as he says in the forew ord, 'it was purely a work of love" The fact that MT. Gilman did the work bespeaks its excellence and accuracy. The Bulletin feels that no man could have done 1t better.
 The portrait of President Taft is the frontispiece; and the other portraits are of Governor Weeks, Mayor Cos tello Ldppitt, First Selectman Arthur D. Lathrop and President of the Day Winslow Tracy Williams, and of all the members of the executive commit tee, making total of 22 portraits. The other full-page illustrations are His torical Pageants-Indian War Dance: and The Minuet; The Residence of Winslow Tracy Williams; The Recep- ton of the President at Rockclyffe; 1; President Taft Planting the Charter Oak Seeding at Rockclyffe; The Naval | Cadets Entering the City; and The Procession Passing Through Main Street; and half page il1uminations of The Electrical Illumination of City Hail; The Founders Statue on Chel- sea Parade; Calvin H. Frisbie's Auto mebile-First Prize; c. Morgan Will iams' Autemobile-Second Prize, East | Side Public School Float; and St Pat riek's Parechial School Float
 There is a full Alphabetical Index: and not a name or an incident connect ed with that great affair seems to have been overlooked.

There is god reason for believing

understood, by agreement on the part
of the State and the contractors, and

Should this be done, at the expira

the attorney general. the foreign
