The Lovino Way.


 When Mrs. Beswick came home from the hospital she found that the chil- dren had grown wild during her three weeks absence. She was weak and easily discouraged and one morning she completely lost patience and whip ped Bessie, her firstborn, because she had gone off to play without asking permission.
 After the whipping, the mother lay on the couch. half sick, and eight-year- old Bessie sat sobbing in her room. As the mother lay there. gradually quieting down. she said to herself:
 This cannot go on. Daily I am showing less patience. Dear Father in Heaven, help me to see a right way out of this difficulty"
 Presently, the mother called Bessie to her.
 Dear" she said, I'm sorry whip ped you. I lost patience because I have so little strength to do things, and you went off and left me alone. The baby fell and bumped himself. Teddy cut his finger trying to cut bread, and Dick spilled a dipper of water on his clean rompers, and it was too much for me.
 Your father has told me how nicely you waited on him, and how good you were to the chilren when I was away :: but I need you now, just as much as l did when l was aWay-more than 1 ever have needed you in my life be- fore-because am so weak and help less. Will you stand by me. dear ? Shall you and I make a fresh be- ginning and try to forget this morn ingP'
 "Oh, mother. I'm so sorry I went off and left you alone. I just didn't think. Bessie cried. throwing her arms around her mothers neck. T want to be your helper"
 A silent prayer went up from the mothers heart: Dear Father. heIu me always to take the loving, patient way of governing-never the harsn way" she breathed.

Mischief and Glover.

Three years ago this month Papa and Grandpa went fishing one evening. Having some kittens in the barn. I thought I would bring down two of them for company for mother and l.. Such fun as we had. So, of course, they were not carried back to the barn, but remained to become two lit tie pets for our home. They grew to be very intelligent cats.
 Clover would sit up and give his paw just like a dog. But one cold day this last winter Clover went away and nev- CT came back.
 Mischief cried at the loss of her lit- tie brother. But now her mind is talk en up with three dear little kittens, most big enough to be given away, as they will certainly spoil Papa's beau tiful bed of pansies. BERTHA MAFFITT, Age 1& Norwich

The Visit of Little Miss HeIpabit.

There was once a little girl named little Miss Helpabit. She was a pretty little girl. but her parents were very poor.
 Little Miss Helpabit had to work in q big mill. She earned six dollars a week. One day her mother said to her:
 You don't have to work any more. !"
 Little Miss Helpabit danced for joy because she did not like to work
 One of Little Miss Helpabit's play mates was very sick, so little Miss Helpabit took a basket and went down town and purchased some fruit and other things and gave them to the lit- tie girl, and then she went home and was very happy.

One pleasant Saturday morning, Papa, Mamma, my two brothers and myself started for Lake Mashapaug on fishing trip. We stayed a week.
 We went in an automobile and ar rived at our destination about ten o'clock.
 We hurried to get our fishing tackle ready and went out in our boat to fish. We caught a number of black bass, and they were beauties, too, weighing from 1-2 pound to pounds each. We enjoyed ourselves very much in swim ming. rowing and fishing. The following Saturday it rained in the morning. but cleared off in the afternoon. So the auto came up and took us home.

Story of a Cat.

One day a pitcher was standing on the table There was cream in it. Pussy saw the pitcher and jumped on the table. She wanted to get the cream. She could not reach it with her tongue, for she could not put her head in the pitcher, because it was too small. At last she put her paw in to the pitcher and then pulled 1t out and licked the cream off her paw By and by the cream was all gone. The cat was cunning

Sam was a very cross boy who lived in a little fishing village. He always wished he was older and richer.
 His mother, father and little lame sister were always kind to him.
 His little sister grew very frighten- ed when she heard him talk of running away to be a soldier, as she thought he might get shot.
 She told him he could not wish for anything better than the home and comfort God had given him.

chatterbox.

Everybody knows the active little squirrel which makes the woods joy ous with it's chatter. It is generally seen galloping among the branches of a tree.
 Squirrel hunting is always a great sport among boys; and is much more exciting because the squirrel is seldom captured in a fair chase.
 To watch a squirrel party in tree Is most amusing occupation, but the little creatures are blessed with quick eyesight and if they happen to spy any object which they think might be dangerous they will run to the opposite side of the trunk on which they are running about.
 The food of the squirrel consists chiefly of nuts, acorns, wheat, and other fruits and seeds, which it hides in all kinds of hooks. crevices and holes near the tree in which it lodges.
 The nest of the squirrel is built in the hidden branches of some high tree. Sometimes if is built in the hol- low of decayed bough, but 1t is gen. orally hidden from view. OLIVE G. WHITEHOUSE. Mansfield Center

A Story of a Leaf.

 Once there was a little bud on tree. The rain fell on 1t and the sun shone on it 8 few days before it began to grow. The bud grew very fast. By and by 1t became leaf. All sum- mer it waved in the wind. Then au- tunn came. Al the other leaves changed color. Some were yellow, others red.
 The little leaf asked the branch why they changed color.
 The limb replied: "They are all going away"
 Then the leaf asked: "Where?"
 You'll find out soon.'
 Then the leaf grew so happy to think he was going away that he grew scar let.
 In a few days it fell to the ground. There it went to sleep.

 But a day is always coming

National Democratic Committeeman
Thos. H. Browne of Rutland was Thurs
Say publicly charged with misappropria-
ton of nearly $1,000 in campaign funds
. by ex-Mayor James +, Burke of this
city at a meeting following the meeting
of the democratic State committee at the
New Sherwood Hotel. The attack on Mr..
Browne followed the executive session of
the State committee called for the purpose
of fixing a date and place for the State
convention and took place after the
regular meeting Of the committee. The
meeting was a public one. held In the
large hall of the hotel and for more
than three hours bedlam regned through
out the hall.
The charges against Mr.. Browne fol-
lowed the sending out through the State
by Mr. Burke Of a circular letter charging
Mr.. Browne with not having accounted
for the $1,000 campaign fund furnished
him four years ago by the national COM
mittee, when Mr. Burke was candidate
for governor. Mr.. Burke had previously
mailed copies Of this letter to every demo-
cratic county committeeman and there
were rumors about the hotel all the after
noon that trouble was brewing over the
allegations that had been made by Mr..
Burke that Mr.. Browne had not properly
accounted for all the money he received
from the national committed Before the
meeting was over Thursday Mr.. Browne
had refuted every charge made by Mr..
Hurke and had been vindicated by the
democrats and others present by a vote
of &c to four.
Before the whole fracas was over II ap-
peared that the charge brought against
MIR. Browne by Mr.. Burke grew out of
dissatisfaction on the part OF the latter
over his defeat for governor at the cleo
ton four years ago. Mr.. Burke tried to
show that his defeat at that time was
due to the fact that Mr. Browne had not
spent the money he received from the
national committee. In other words. Mr..
Burke's attitude seemed to be that be-
cause he was defeated in his race to
be governor Mr. Browne could not have
spent any money on the campaign. Ac-
cording to the argument advanced by Mr..
Burke If the $1,000 he claimed Browne
received had been spent in what he term
ed a proper way he (Burke) could not
possibly have been defeated.
BURKE MAKES CHARGES.
When the public meeting was called to
order in the large hall there was a good
crowd present Given the floor MT.
Browne stated that he had received a cir.
cuar letter signed by Mr.. Burke and
that other democrats had received SINH
lar letters. charging him with being dis
honest and of having misappropriated the
campaign fund of four years ago. He
said he was there to answer every charge
made by Mr. Burke and would demand
of the ex-mayor evidence of his asser-
lions that he (Browne) had stolen and
embezZled $1,000 OF the fund.
Let him say why he calls me an en-
bezzler or thief was the speakers
challenge. And then l want opportunity
to reply
MIR. BURKES LETTER
Mr.. Browne then invited Mr.. Burke to
come forward with his proofs. Mr.. Burke
