One morning in the year 1860. more
than two half centuries ago. a young
man and young girl walking side by
side passed what was then called the

everything in the village
1t was not kept merely for money
making purposes. Since a stopping
place for travellers was necessary in
the town one of the first citizens was
invited to take charge Of it. The rea-
sons for this were manifold. though
the most important was that since
liquor must be sold-so it was then
considered-and since our ancestors
were thoroughly impressed with the
abuses liable to this traffic they desired
the management Of a man they could
trust.
Now, on that morning when the
young man and the young woman. ia

the ordinary at Hartford within the
taproom sat an Englishman who had
just made forty days voyage from
London to America for the purpose of

"Jacob futile did not inveigle me at

LEGATION Secretary a. Havan.

Legation secretary at Havana.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE only ex-

Hugh Gibson as charge d'affaires of
the American legation at Havana is
said to be the determination of Presi-
dent Taft to let it be known that this
government thoroughly endorses Glib
son for his activity in pressing settle
ments of American claims.
Gibson's transfer to be secretary of
legation at Brussels was. in fact,
promotion, state department officials
say, but a certain element in Havana
interpreted the change as one to re-
move Gibson from point of friction.

had been selected to succeed Gibson at

Artists-each man peculiarly adapt

been chosen from schools the world

Russians, French, Italians, Spaniards,
English, Germans, Americans and b.

The difficulties of bringing such an
organization to work in unity have
been wonderfully mastered-nothing
but true artistic harmony reigns in the
Pickard Studios. All these artists
bring with them the highest ideals
from their respective schools. And
having so many sources to draw from,

claim to it's pularity-versatility

THE WAYS.

The world is full Of ways that lead
To fortune and to fame.
And there are ways that end at
greed
And ways that lead TO shame;
There are the ways that lead to
where ..
The sunny islands lie;
The ways that wind through val
leys fair
To SUBMITS that are high;
There are the ways that lie across
The lonely desert sands,
The ways that lead for gain or loss
To strange and distant lands
The world has ways that stretch
afar
Where many people roam;
But best Of all the ways there are,
Howe'er we fare, meath sun or star,
Are those that lead us home
