NORWICH .HARrFoRp TROLLEY.

New hope as to the future of the Norwich, Colchester 6 Hartford Trac- ton Co is given by the developments which have come to a head this week and the signing of the contracts whereby work on the construction will be begun at once and pushed to completion. The building of this road has been greatly delayed by lack of financial backing. but there is reason to believe now that the project will be carried out as planned
 This line is one which will open up an entirely new territory to electrifica- ton. In its route of 42 miles from Norwich to Hartford it passes through several good-sized villages in which thriving industries are located, all of which will not only be benefited by the road, but will contribute literally to it's maintenance.
 This road will serve a section of the state which has been difficult to reach otherwise and will give to this city increased. accommodations in reaching Hartford, by overcoming the long and tedious ride, necessary at present, to make in getting to and from the cap ital. The value of electric roads haa been fully proven in this city. Every new line which can be built to add to Norwich as trolley center means an increased benefit to the city and the business life in particular. With steady work it will be year or more before the full line can be in operation but its opening will be welcomed. A delayed start is oftentimes the cause of an excellent finish.

PooUErANUcK,s FUTURE.

The fire which destroyed the B. Lu- cas- & Co. mill at Poquetanuck was severe blow to the little village which depended upon that industry as the chief employer of labor there fifty hands being thrown out of work by the destruction of the mill. The proximity of Hallville would likely be a great help to the village, but it is with great relief to the residents and employees that the announcement is made by the owners that the mill will probably be rebuilt.
 This mill has always been an active one, pleasantly located and we'll sit- uated so as to get the benefit of water power and conveniently located for teceiving a fuel supply. It was at the present time in full operation and the loss on finished product was a particularly severe one. It has always been in the Lucas family during the ffty-four years of its existence. and It's product was we'll known to the trade. While the loss will be heavy for all concerned, the future looms up bright at the present time for the building up from the ruins of mod ern mill with modern equipment and every facility for competing with the output of new mills, which, through the benefit of the latest inventions find the cost of manufacture greatly reduced. l t is to be hoped that the mill will be rebuilt and that the will lage of Poquetanuck will continue as one of the pretty spots in this sec- ton and that through it's industrial and other interests will expand and increase in importance. It has g chance now to make long step ahead

THE OLD TAPE MEASURE

full work have been done by the wear CT of that same thimble. One thinks of the two together, for the thimble was usually on the finger when the measure was used. Side by side they reclined in the depths of the basket and shared the same experiences.
 Think of the many garments made and repaired. Imagine, if you can, the exact measure taken for every tuck and plait. In those days books on needle-work were few and those few gave directions for exact work. Time moved more leisurely and found no labor saving device as is given now-a days for creasing and stitch ing hems and tucks. In fact, unless 1 am at fault, this tape measure and thimble ante-date the sewing machine in our family, and can tell of much l and varied work done by hand, which now is dashed off by machine. The infants outfit, the brides attire, the daily dress of every member of the household owed much of its attractive ness to the careful, painstaking labor of patient women workers whose spare | moments were few and far between. Happy hours were they that the | prospective bride spent in prepar- ing her wardrobe. She would not, if 1 she could, buy her clothes at a furn
 ishing store. The young mother sew
 ed loving thoughts with every stitch into every garment for her baby and l did not grudge the time spent in so do- ing. Then my talkative friend sad dened as he spoke of the mourning robes which were much more. in de- mand in his early years than now.
 q did not like to measure black goods" he said Tt cast gloom over me, which I felt through all my en- | tire length. I am glad to know that the custom is changing regarding it. It always seemed wrong to me to dress i children in black for every death in the l family, as was the practice years ago. I remember at one time dear little boy two years of age was taken from us, and hlS young sisters were put in to sombre black clothes throughout. felt sad, too, for 1 missed his cling ing touch as he rolled and unrolled me. He often amused himself with me when the work basket was within reach. A merry little feller he was and made the home lively for all."
 Here the tape measure trembled through Ill it's length, and declared itself Wearied. There's more to tell,
 but I'm too tired to say more now. Please roll me up and I'll rest awhile.
 My barrel is a good, quiet home, after all. Perhaps you may want to hear from me again some day, but now am tired beyond measure"
 Whereupon I rolled him up and left him to repose beside his first friend
 the thimble, but I'll try to remember
 to let him out occasionally. Who
 would think a tape-measure could tell
 so much of it's experience.
 l Many thanks my tiny friend, for
 the story you related. l shall not
 soon forget it was you"
 l had intended to put both measure and thimble aside, but now I will re-
 tain them both in my basket and give
 them houseroom and tender handling
 for the sake of the service they have done in former years. AN IDLER.

EFFORTS FOR woRKINeMEN.

To those who are inclined to criti- else the administration of President Taft es weak and ineffective, 1t re- quires but a glance over the actual facts and accomplishments of the three and half years to put such claims to rout. Every man is liable to mistakes, but when it comes to standing for and not only recommend- ing but putting into operation laws which are for the benefit of the work ingman, 1t becomes self-evident 1t is the common peoples friend who is at present in the White house. In an. swering the question, What has Pres ident Taft done for the workers? :? Steam Shovel and Dredge says: Ask the railway brotherhoods interested in the passage of safety appliance laws and employers liability and worlxmen's compensation legislation on interstate railroads. Ask the thou- sands who are benefited by the pas- sage of the eight-hour law amend ments. Ask the reform associations which for years have urged the crea- ton of children's bureau to study child life in the country, and which bureau is now in operation. Ask the coal miners of the country who have suffered so terribly from mine disas- ters and who are now. thanks to Pres ident Taft. protected by a federal bureau of mining. aq
 DO we want to see all the splendid work done by President Taft undone in the next four years? We most as- suredly do not, and that is why the thinking workingmen of the country sra with President Taft for reelection It is not the loud. blatant shouter who accomplishes real work in this world, It is the quiet, constructive man who grappies with problems in the privacy of his study and works out their so- lution with care and caution and ap- plies the remedy with courage and fortitude. That Is what President Taft has done"
 The workingman cannot too fully appreciate the fact that the president has conducted the government firmly. feariessly and impartially, tackled big problems with success and is still courageously engaged in pushing re- forms and progressive legislation.

PEACE OVER rRIpoLL

It is unquestionably certain that the peace terms which Italy has offered to Turkey concerning the Tripol diff ference will be accepted and that the war between those countries is at an end. In the terms of peace it is hard to tell which has gained the advan- tage. It is the understanding that Italy is to have Tripoli the slice of Africa for which she was contending, but with the acquisition by conquest of that territory she also assumes the task of subduing the Arab hordes which gave the Italian army its great est trouble in it's attacks upon the Turkish forces. They are no welcomed foe, being hard and fiendish fighters who are liable to give no end of trou- ble.
 In addition, Italy is to use her good offices towards the securing of peace in the Balkan states, being supposed through relationship of the kings, ito be very close to Montenegro. Turkey, in turning over Tripoll into the hands of Italy is to receive an annual sum as consideration. Inasmueh as Tur- key has never received any large amount from the Tripolitan province in the way of revenue, it is likely that she will fare as we'll from this tribute as in the past. and by such. and the power of appointing the officials, re- tains sufficient control to amount to nearly as much as sovereignty. Italy gets her desires in an increased sovereignty in northern Africa. The settlement, therefore seems to the mutual advantage of both, though it is is unfortunate that it required war to determine if.

If the excellent practice helps whom

If the excellent practice helps when we are on the road it would help like wise when we are at home. Millions of the sons of men are carrying excess baggage, to the profitless exhaustion of mind and body. To get rid of a lot of this ''impedimenta" is both a duty and a privilege.
 The very abundance of ones material possessions may impose a burden grievous to be borne. I think of a certain housekeeper who is fairly smothered under the accumulation of stuff that clutters up her dwelling from attic to cellar. She would appreciate the experience of the householder in San Fracisco who, after the earth quake, was left with only her key and the clothes she had on her back T have not felt so carefree in years," she wrote, All my life I have been hoarding up things-clothes, carpets, bedding, bric- a-brac-everything just as my mother and grandmother did before me. I was continually haunt ed by the fear that a servant would steal something, or the moths would get in and ruin everything. I was always worrying worrying, wor- rying. And then. the earthquake came and swept everything away, and 1 was freed. I have learned my lesson. No more slavery for me-"

EXCESS BAGGAGE.

Barlow rarely travels without an as- sortment of luggage that makes his host gasp when the expressman drives up to the door. It may be necessary for Barlow to transport so formidable a commisariat but most of us can get along with a dress suit case would hate the bother those trunks involve.
 It is significant that the Roman word for baggage" was "impedimenta" Baggage was of course necessary to an army but it was also hindrance be- cause marching columns could not ad vance very far beyond slow moving wagon loads of tents and supplies. It is a disadvantage to be anchored to a pack train, as many commander has discovered.
 Experienced tourists learn to travel light. They reduce to a minimum the baggage carried along. One or two serviceable suits are preferred to a wardrobe. Only essential equipment is included.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
THE GIFT OF PAIN.

The power to feel intensely is the most exquisite of all gifts.
 If you suffer far more than others if the slight that is turned off by an other with laugh rankles and testers in you, if a humiliation can sing all night in your tortured brain, if the memory of wrong isla sword and the fear of love repelled is a flame to you, why, do not pity yourself!
 You are as far above the dull and contented whom no arrows of scorn can pierce as a brook. trout is above a jellyfish.
 Capacity to suffer is simply capacity to live.
 Life's size Is measured by the gamut of the heart.
 Keep true and keep sane, adjust yourself as best you may to your time and place, and above all search out those forms of subtler bliss that the less sensitive cannot understand; so you will find your pain-power to be life-power, your personality will widen and be enriched, until you become, what mere stupid negative morality and conventional goodness can never become-great.
 For the best of life is-rto live. And to live, in it's fullest se4se, means to suffer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Wilson and Pensions.


 MT. Editor: Herewith is a letter from J. B. Cody of Cambridge to the Boston Record, which I cut from The Record of September 19. It follows:
 Allow me through the columns of your widely circulated paper to ask the workingmen to remember Wood row Wilson's insult to them in his speech the other day against the old age pension idea. He said that if we give the old workmen pensions we would be pauperizing them.
 T would like to know what Will sons definition of 8 pauper is. There seems no reason why any hard work ing man over 70 years of age should be any longer debarred from the ad- vantage of a pension. I hope and trust that a more facile pen will agi- tate and throw more light upon this problem of legislation. I have no hesitation in saying that if Wilson
