The Town Election.
The result, Monday, of the town
election does not seem to interest the
public to any Great extent. None of
the candidates seem to have done any
considerable amount of canVassing,
and there has been no Noticeable fric-
ton of factions or of parties. 1t is
conceded that First Selectman Will
liam G. Johnson will be reelected as
he is the candidate of both the Re
publicans and the Progressives, but,
it is thought by zone with his
near to the ground by a smaller ma
jority than last year. The second
lectman, Thos. E. Brew, Democrat,
who is endorsed by the Progressives is
likely to win second place on the
board of selectmen. The real struggle
will be between P. H. Mccarthy, Dem

COL ROOSEVELT
LEAVES ON TOUR
OF SOUTH AMERICA

New York, Oct. 4-Theodore Roose-
welt set out, today, for the second time
since leaving the White House, on a
long Journey to the south.
The sailing of the steamship Van
dyck, upon which he had taken pas
sage for South America, was timed
for L o'clock but the former President
and members of his party were astir
early with final preparations for en-
barking and many of the Progressive
party leaders who rendered him a
great farewell dinner atop of a New
York theatre, last night, arranged to
be on hand to give him a good send
off at the dock at the foot of Mon
tague street. Brooklyn.

with the colonel proposing to make it
one of many aspects aside from the
pleasure of it. His chief interest prob
ably lies in the proposed penetration
of the interior of Brazil with a party
of naturalists under the auspices Of
the American museum of natural his
tory but the earlier party of the six
months which he will spend in South
America will be devoted to addresses
upon American Dem ocracy which he
has been invited to deliver before I'm
iversities and other bodies. A trip
into Patagonia to visit an out of the
way mission and two crossings of the
continent to Santiago De Chill and
back to Buenos Ayres, will be other
features of his journey.
Those who prepared to embark with
him, today, were Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Margaret Roosevelt, who will
make the round trip on the Vandyck;
Fia1a, the polar explorer who has
charge of the expeditions equipment;
G. J. Kerr and o. L. Miller, naturaIists
of the American Museum of Natural
History; Frank Harper, Col. Roose-
velt's secretary, and the. Rev. Father
John Augustine Zahm, provincial of
the Order of the Holy Cross, a former
field companion of the colonel.
The natura1ists will start into the
interior shortly after their arrival In
Brazil, to be Joined by the Colonel

ocrat, and Morris D. Beers, Republi-
can, for the position of third select
man with the chances favoring the
former. Neither of these has any
support outside of the party with
which each trains. so the vote polIed
for each will show the normal
strength of their parties, or rather the
inroad made by the ProgressiVes on
the old parties.
In the burning question of CONSOLE
dalton of schools the adherents of this
cause feel sure they will win this time,
successive years have voted against
the plan. They point to the fact that
the twenty%~&oar women voters admit
ted this year, if they vote for CONSOLE
dalton, will wipe out the adverse vote
shown against the plan last year. But
will they? Nobody seems to know.
In the meantime the friends of con-
solidation are jubilant over the latest
bulletin of the United States Bureau

flat-footed for the abolition of the
small district school, and the concen-
schools. This announcement of the
national educational authority they
cite with glee, and maintain it will
help them win, the fight against the
district committees of the twenty odd
districts in town who are opposed to
any form of town management which
will endanger the existence of f'the
old red school house, The latter
have won two bitterly contested fights
for the district system already and
seem to be lining up this year for
the death struggle. Aside from the
acrimony of this school fight the town
election has made barely a ripple of
excitement so far. The candidates
have side-stepped the issue success
fully, and the politicians have kept
out of the fight. 1t will be contest
of irreconcilable systems, but town

very tame affair.

Which Hurt Her
Little Feelings
THE. YOUNG HUSBAND FORGOT ALL
ABOUT HIS WIFE'S BIRTHDAY

Keepers sphere. Men deal with out
side things and have to BIO trained
to remember and observe the home
ones. 1t is mistake to let them
pass by unnoticed, says the Ladies'
Home Journal
Much OF the joy and happiness
OF the house is missed IL these days
are not celebrated. l remember how
/ wept my heart out when our first
anniversary came and went and was
not noticed. ] felt that my home
making Trad been a failure, and there
was no thankfuli1ess nor gladness
that | had been the wife Of year.
All my shortcomings and failures
rolled before my eyes in a gray pro
cession and ] even wondered If se-
cret regret existed where there
should be gladness.
"Since then | have learned the flu
tility of all this, that 1t was part
Of my hor1lemaking to anticipate and
prepare for such occasions even
when the birthday was my own. I
learned TO inform my family of the
coming event. They were only too
glad TO enter into It's observance and
to anticipate their own In turn, and
these were some of our happiest
days.
" OH KNOW there Is always moro
happiness In giving and doing for
others than in receiving, and 1t is an
opportunity which the wife and
mother cannot afford to lose She
should make much of these little gala
times. II Is her chance.
"Of course it Is not the elaborate
ness nor the appropriateness of the
gift which makes II worth while. It
Is the sweetness of remembering and
being remembered by ones own, far
more precious than the attentions of
outsiders, however dear. Some Of my
happiest memories are Of birthdays
which my family celebrated with
gifts, cheap and Inappropriate,
bought with carefully boarded PEN
MES and spent with total lack of
Judgment and appreciation of their
suitability to my use, but which
showed NE the place held In their
hearts. 1t was d bit of training in
affection and unselflshness I always
had to remind them OF the coming
day until the custom was we'll estab-
lished and much beloved.
