What We Love is Ours.

Happiness is not carried in the pocket, but in the heart.
 The millionaire may make his thousand acre park in the rich valley and by a fiction of the law call iG his own but it all is the front yard of the poorest squat ter in the rudest cabin on the rugged hillside. ...
 The one who paid for it owns it? No It is most truly possessed by the one who most enjoys it.
 What can beautiful park mean to a man whose heart is smothered in a lhoney bag?
 And to him who loves the trees, the brooks, the hills, the sky, what matters it who holds the title 2?
 Why, Adam and Eve never had deed to Eden
 Descendants of theirs to-day hold deeds, but not possession. 1t was not the land itself which was Gaken away, but the power to enjoy it.
 What we love IS ours-and nothing more.
 We can truly possess nothing that we sacrifice to our own selfish purposes. It is only to the man who is poor that wealth glows like bright star in the night. The law of recompense always is in force. It is only when darkness shrouds the world that we can see the light of million others.-Charles Grant Miller in June Nautilus.

THE CONCERTS.

The "Norfolk concerts of 1913 have passed into the splendid history of Litch- field County's marvellous musical great ness, and left a satisfying taste in the mouth and pleasing sound in the ear. Furthermore they have renewed and in. tensified the great debt of gratitude which the music lovers of this section of Connecticut owe to MT. and Mrs. Carl Stoeokel, of Norfolk, who have been justly accredited with having given that town a reputati on, throughout the world, as "the Beirut of America.'
 The critic of the Hartford Courant deigns to make the frank admission that .the Litchfield county enterprise has advanced along the most dignifed lines, with the highest and purest artistic pur- pose, until today it stands as one of the most celebrated and significant musical organizations in America. In the en- eouragement it gives American com Dosers of worth it has no rival ill the quality of it's choral performance it has low equals; in the complete elimination of commercialism from it's management, 1t stands pretty nearly alone in the world"
 The compelling excellence of the great chorus, whose work challenged the admir- ation of the real and eminent musicians and musical authorities who heard it, was nothing short of a triumph for MT. Richmond P. Paine, whom the eminent Arthur Mees has repeatedly designated Tn public as "that prince of conductors, J and must have afforded compensating sense of pride to Mr, and Mrs. Stoeckel, the Lord and Lady Bountiful of the musi cal realm of Litchfield County

BALDNESS SLANDERED

A North Carolina cores pondent of the New York Times has pointed out that truly religious men don't become bald Preachers, of patriarchal years, Of whom he remembers a score or two, allihad plenty of hair, some of them up to the age of ninety-three. "They were men," he adds, .of strong, dominant, religious faith, of great piety and purity of life"
 The question is referred to John Rode meyers Baldhead Club of America, which is due to hold it's annual convep- ton at Pittsfeld shortly Jack Rose ought to be called upon to refute the islanders upon the baldheads, who, it is well known, derive their hairlessness from early piety. Waterbury Republi- can.
 Since the organization of the Bald Head Club of America, probably no other physical distinguishing mark has been discovered to indicate so many diff ferent and conflicting mental attributes, moral traits and criminal virtues, as badness. A bald headed musician is a musician because he is bald. or he is bald because he is musician. A silver Songued orator with a shiny dome is a Ewing proof that badness is sure in

What the Other Fellows Say

A place on the ways and means com mittee or. on the appropriations commit tee is more desirable-and desired-than a minor committee chairmanship. For a modest new member, Brother Mahan has fared very well.-Hartford Courant.
 The Connecticut manufacturers, who are now figuring in the newspapers for having consulted members of the senate of the United States, possessed every right in the world to do what they did do. It does not prove that they are right in judgment because they believe the proposed tariff law will drive them out of business, but it does prove that they have the right notion of what con- gressmen are for.-New Haven Journal Courier.
 Though modern jury panel always contains some men of prominence, there are not so many of them as there should be when it is considered that the duties of juror are among the most important conferred by citizenship, and that the matters upon which he is called to pass are often momentous to the parties con cerned. Don't shirk jury seryice.- Bridgeport Standard.
 Perhaps if the police were less careful about suppressing information concern ing lawlessness in the city, the public would be more careful about taking chances at night in unprotected places, which means most of the city outside of the glare of the central square, Water bury Republican.
 The opponents of prize fighting argue that 57 fighters were killed in the prize ring in 10 years. Everything considered, that may be an argument in it's favor.- New Haven Union.
 There is a movement to have girls of the High school graduating classes wear gowns costing only $5. Those who can only afford that amount will never stand for that.-Hartford Post.
 The safety razor folks are having a fortunate season. The Boston barbers are on strike. Barber strikes force many men to use the safety who forever after shave themselves.-Pittsfeld Eagle.
 One hundred and ninety men or more at the University club banquet Rarely does a university club bring together representative of so many universities as right here in 'Pittsfield. ld.-Pitts6eld Jour- nal.
 Sunday raids on shore resort aims" are being made earlier in the season than usual and should do much towards secur- ing observance of the law during the crowded months which are still ahead Ansonia Sentinel

dication of eloquence-unless the silver tongued orator happens to have shock of hair, in which case badness is opposed to eloquence, and hair gets the credit Now comes this North Carolina philoso- pher, with the wonderful discovery that hair indicates piety, notwithstanding the W well-known fact that any religious convention of men, viewed from the gallery, looks like cobble-stone pave ment.
 The B. H. o. of A. embraces in it's membership clergymen, deacons, judges. lawyers, doctors, journalists, merchants and men in all walks of life. Moral character is prime essential for ad- mission to the organization. The Club no longer investigates or considers these crank theories of bald-head significance. It has a theory of it's own-that badness indicates lack of hair-and that's all.

Letters From the People
To Whom Belongs the Home ?
To Che Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 In my estimation the home is jointly and rightfully the property of both. Marriage is, or should be, the most sacred and important contract a man or woman ever assumes. It is a law of God and 8 law of man, that they are by this con- tract to be as one. It is life partner ship it makes no difference if one has more money or property than the other, 1t should be a joint ownership from this time. Of course 1t is natural and right that the wife should have the most to say and do about arrangements in the house, It is her undisputed right and she is more adapted and capable in this respect, and woman's proudest place on earth is home, if she has 8 good earnest mate. That is where a good. true wife shines, bringing up her family in way that will be credit to both herself and husband and be desirable citi- zens of the country. The mothers, if they are true, earnest wives, have more influence in holding the character and life principles of the children than the fathers, and wife has much to do with the success and prosperity of the man she calls husband. Of course 1t falls to the man to look after the outside affairs and more laborious efforts of life. sincerely believe this was the intention of the Creator when He created both man and his mate, but when it comes to this question whose is the home?s say 1t belongs to one as much as to the other but as to the ideal home l mentioned, 1t requires the combined efforts of both husband and wife to accomplish best results. They ought to consult each other in business otfairs as well as mat ters pertaining to home life. Both must concede little sometimes, to the wishes of each other. I have always thought if home was managed just right man would prefer it to any place on earth. The same loyalty by both, one pocket book for the use of both, one aim in life to make home pleasant for all, and this question is soon answered.

LIFE'S RECOMPENSE.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

What though the longing of your heart Passed by and left an aching smartf Sometime, my dear, you'll surely know That it was far, far better so
 Our human frailty's prone to long For that which often would prove wrong. But if with patience you can wait, You'll find it was the kindest fate That had withheld your strong desire, But ah, it gave you something higher {; For with the recompense it sent, It filled your heart with true content.

With reference to the omission of the legislative newspaper mems Laurel Club banquet this year, to which The News called attention couple of weeks ago, "Governor' Norton, in the Hartford Courant explains that, although "the members have never had a larger num- Der of inquiries as to the chance of get ting ticket for the dinner. the consti- tutionaI limitation as to the length of the session kept them so busy that they had no time to make the necessary plans for the banquet" It was~too bad, for, as the Ansonia Sentinel says, "these feasts and the political hits accompanying them have been among the most enjoyable events participated in by legislators and newspaper men, whether in Connecticut or elsewhere. The banquets were con- ducted something on the order of those of the Gridiron club in Washington, and in some respects were probably equal to them."

try they are wholly at his disposal.
These the last words Of j. p. Nor

the day before Mr.. Morgan left for
Europe never to return alive were re-
lated tonight in an address by Col.
Harvey before gathering Of bankers
and other representative men at a

not only regarded the political views
advanced by Mr.. Wilson with honest
apprehension, but never considered
the Democratic party fully capable Of

depths Of the mans patriotism. Mr..

little more.

him for the last time in his library
the day before he went away. He was
Optimistic regarding the country and
I naturally spoke hopefully Of the
prospect of the coming administration.
Suddenly turning those piercing
eyes on me, Mr.. Morgan said DO
you remember that American speech
you made in London? remember very
well. 1t was not a speech--only few
remarks at the close Of the private
dinner in reply to an anglicized syco
plant who had mistakenly thought to
curry favor with Mr.. Morgan by
speaking CONTEMPORARY Of Mr..
