Methods In Days When "No LicIein', No Larnin," Was the Rule.
 The schoolroom practices of a half century ago are incredible to a modern pupil. It is we'll that they have not been continued, but an account of them by an eyewitness is often anus ing. One incident from A. H. Halls "Old Bradford Schooldays'' brings up teacher who clung to the old prin- ciple, "No lickin', no larnin.."
 Horace Walton, at recess, climbed to the top of the highest nut tree and, losing his hold, fell to the ground. He struck on many of the limbs in his descent. The boys were terribly frightened as he struck the ground Just as we crowded about him to see if he still lived, our faces as white as his, the bell rang for the resumption of studies.
 The last boy in was Walton, and just as he fell rather than sat down in his seat the master shouted, Come out here instantery' He gave him a fogging that made the fall from the tree seem the lesser of the two evils.
 A few years ago, meeting Walton for the first time for many years. he re- marked that he well remembered how that master at last succeeded in bring ing things into routine order in the school. Each morning as the school assembled this order was observed: First bell, come to order; second bell, attention; third bell, lick Walton"

The ou..- cs-.h.o.

The carabao is said to be slower than a camel and more obstinate than a mule. Every one seems agreed that the chief ambition in life of a cara bao, if he has any at all, is to lie down in puddle of water with just his nose and horns sticking out. Consequently considerable commotion rules the wag- on train when it approaches stream that must be forded The soldiers who are walking behind the carts as guards lay aside their rifles and begin to belabor each animal. In the mid dle of the stream the excitement reaches its highest pitch. The cara bao will begin to stretch his neck and bend his knees and grunt-infallible indications of his intention to lie down. Everybody works like beaver to pre- vent him from accomplishing this fell purpose, but their labors are not al- ways successful. They may get him over the stream, but this is unusual good fortune.-Harper's Weekly.

HOME NEWS.
STAFFORD SPRINGS.

Robert l.. Stevenson of New Britain is the guest of Mir. and Mrs. Napoleon Pero.
 Although it was quite stormy last Friday, there were twenty two present at the meeting of the Stafford Progress sive Federation in the evening at the library building. President o. F. Beckwith reported the results of hay. ing raised by subscription the funds necessary for three months trial o1 an all.night service in all parts of the borough. The matter of permanent servics was discussed to the education of all present. The subject of chang ing the name of the local railroad station to Stafford Springs, instead of Stafford, as now printed in the time table and placed on the station, brought out quite little discussion. In letter received by Miss O. A.. Washburn from General Manager Jones of the railroad in regard to the matter, he stated that if a majority of the citizens in the community ex 7 press desire for the change it would be made. The general discussion was in favor of the change. It was stated that passengers who desired to come to Stafford Springs had been carried by, as the name on the station was Stafford and the conductor had called Staff o1d. The consequence was that the railroad had a suit of damages, and since then the conductors had had their orders to call both Stafford and Stafford Springs. As Stafford post office is two miles away and the rail- road station Is located in the borough of Stafford Springs, the name should be the same as the local post office. If this station is to be called Stafford, then Willimantic should be changed to Windham, the name of the town. It was stated that passengers on leav- ing the train here have gone into 8 ne arby store and asked how far it was to Stafford Springs. A motion was made and carried that the officers of the Federation have a petition pre- sented to the selectmen, with necessary number of signatures, to have an article placed in the warning of the next town meeting to see if the cleo. tors of the town would vote in favor of the change. The committee on watering places reported the necessity for additional watering places in va rious parts of the town would be in- vestigated in the spring The need of a trolley waiting station in the bor- ough was discussed, and it was voted that the president appoint committee of two to investigate the possibility of having covering placed over the sidewalk on Furnace avenue next to the post office building, or some other location. President Beckwith re- ported that he had some auto danger signs ready as soon as their location could be decided on. The committee on skating places did not report. but the skating place provided on Hyde Park by the park comm issioners was called attention to. The annual cleo tion of officers was postponed until the next meeting.

attorneys office yesterday, charging
Frank Sweeney with murder In the
first degree. in connection with the
shooting Of Clyde Gcble In a drug
store here on May 2S. Goble died from
his wounds at a local hospital this
week. and in spite of the fact that he
made no death bed statement, the au-
thorities believe they have sufficient
evidence TO convict sweeney of the
crime.
Sweeney is in the county Jail. He
does not deny shooting Goble. but
claims self defense.
1t is thought probable that Swee-
ney will not be admitted to bail.

to the white house today, prospects
Of i,'tion by congress at this session is
growing DINNER. The questions OF

both houses and today neither the

hopeful OF settling IT,

comfort that filtered through to the

OF administration and operation OF
the canal. MI Anderson was under
stood to be ready to bring such res
olutlon whenever II becomes apparent
there Is no chance Of a compromise,
and the two houses become deadlock
cd over the other instructions.
Taft Is Disappointed.
President Taft was much concerned
today over the prospect Of delay In
the opening OF the canal.
IN many speeches he has made
since he became president. he has
predicted that the Atlantic and the
Pacific would be joined at Panama
in 1913 and at one time the president
believed he would be able to steam
through the canal on the old battle
ship Oregon when the formal OPEN
ing was celebrated during his present
term in the white house. When he
broke ground at San Francisco last
October for the Panama Pacific Ex-
position he practically promised to
nave tilt Ifh'lN lifNN N'hif ER'lNN
of the oregon as the ship that should
first cleve It's waters and made 1t
clear he would like to be on her bridge
when the trip began.
President May Send Message.
So far the president has refused to
write special message to congress on
the subject He told visitors recently
that he did not believe it was neces-
sary for him further to advise con-
gress Of his position. Within the last
few days. however members Of the
house have notified him that they
would oppose any legislation In re
gard to the Panama Canal bill that
did not settle all matters involved.
Secretary Stimson has taken issue
with the congressman but the presi-
dent has not made his Intentions
known. 1t was said tonight he might
decide to send a special message.
