Something About The Progress sk
 Of the Press
By, JOHN P. TALON

You cannot see the forest for the trees,'' said a historian. sfnor history in the making for being so close to the event.
 He wrote before the present greatness Of the newspapers was attained. Nowadays the history of the minute is yours when you pick up your daily newspaper. Not only those things which hap Ben in the city and throughout the country, but throughout the world. There are romances back of this achievement, tales of suf- fertng, Of loyalty to the paper,
 of long hours, of strenuous en-
 deavor and daring.
 Consider carefully this com
 posite wonder the newspaper
 which you buy daily for an in significant price. Usually it con
 tains several square yards of paper, and, in the metropolitan
 dailies, it's lines of type set end
 to end would extend for miles And all this type must be set in 8 few short hours. The wonder is that your paper does not cost you many times it's present price
 The advertisements, as well as the news, are of great importance because they bring you the store news of Norwich's leading mer- chants and tell you of oppor- tunities to purchase at a big saving in price.

A FUNNY INCIDENT.
Mc5ride Relates Story of Happening
 on Washington's Sun Field.

f"The funniest incident I remember in baseball occurred in a game played in Washington shortly after the fire on our grounds, which was in 1911," says George Mcbride. the Washin gton shortStop. When the new park was laid out they switched the diamond, and now I think Washington has one of the worst sun fields in the league. The incident have In mind took place in this sun field. The roof of the stand had not been started, which made things worse. We were playing St. Louis, and Hap Hogan was in left. It was close game, and Schaefer, who came to bat with three on bases made a half liner to left field, and Hap lost the ball in the sun. The ball struck him squarely on the head when it came down. Hogan was stunned for a minute and the way Schaefer carried on made it all the funnier. The next day the St. Louis outfelders practiced before the game wearing catchers masks on top of their heads and also regaled in chest protectors.

 We say many times: Well. the office can be fulfilled just as well by an other person." That is true, but when a member. officer has been so devoted aS you have been, we are glad to prove to him what we think of him.
 Therefore we regret very much that you have resigned as our secretary.

DID GREAT THINGS AS BOYS
Notable Instances Of. Those Who
Have Accomplished Much I'm
Their Youth.

II is well for US to remind ourselves
not infrequently of the historical fact
that some Of the greatest achieve
ments in the world have been made
by youth. and it will always be SO in
human history. David had expert
enced some Of the greatest emotions
before he was twenty. and was a king
at the age of eighteen. Raphael had
practically completed his life work at
age OF thirty-seven. He did no great
artistic work after that age. James
Watt even as boy as he watched the
steam coming out OF the teakettle.
saw In 1t the new world OF mechani-
cal power made possible by the old
element turned and driven by a sim.
pie appliance. Cortez was master OF
Mexico before he was thirty-six
Schubert died at the age of thirty:one.
after having composed what may per-
haps he called in some ways the most
entrancing melody, ever written.
Charlemagne was master of France
and the greatest emperor of the world
at the age of thirty. Shelley wrote
Queen Nab when he was only twenty
one, and was master of poetry before
he was twenty-five. Patrick Henry
was able to shape the revolutionary
history of n new country before he was
thirty, and astonish the world by his
oratory before he was twenty-six years
old. At the age of twenty-four Ruskin
had written Modern Painters, and Bry-
ant, while still boy of high-school
age. had written Thanatopsis. The list

Locks In Ancient Eqypt.

The Egyptian lock, states the Iron
monger. was an assemblage Of wooden
pins or bolts. It is possible that this
suggested to Bramah his remarkable
invention. The Roman lock was prac-
tically a paddock; and it seems prob
able that the key was of Green origin.
In Latin countries the locksmith never
confined himself to mere door furni-
ture.. AT the very beginning-as now
adays in France-his art embraced all
the wrought ironwork which serves to
close and secure our dwellings, from
a monumental garden gate and rail-
ings to simple latchkey. That art
reached its apogee about the fifteenth
or sixteenth century. so far as the
former class Of work was concerned.
Some medieval specimens-the hinges
Of the doors at Notre Dame, for IN
stance:-are so remarkable that en-
vious and humorous contemporaries
have not failed to hint that the smith
who executed them must have sold his
soul to the devil. .... W.
