What the Other Fellows Say.

The cost of living experts insist that people should do their own marketing, but persons having social standing will have to look out not to be seen on the streets with market basket.-Hartford Post.
 Now they're blaming corner in eggs as the cause of the seventy-cent fruit. As we remember it, old Chris Columbus was the first guy to make a corner in eggs.-Bridgeport Standard.
 Fifteen men lost their lives on the baseball diamond during the past season. A record of the cases of heart failure on the bleachers when two men were out and a man on third in the ninth, would be interesting. Eagle.
 John D. Rockefeller is going to spend $35ooo on his personal Christmas cele- bration. The wires carry the news to the four corners of the republic. Ring the joybells. And some others of us may spend B cents and let the Christ mas spirit make far bigger dent in our fortunes than it will in MT. Rockefeller's. Hartford Times.
 No wonder the crickets have returned to pay Winsted visit. This wonderful weather would account for almost any thing summerlike. .-Ansonia Sentinel.
 Smile! And make it a Christmas smile!-Waterbury Republican.
 Mir. Mellen was feeling practicularly friendly to the railroad labor organiza- tions which gave him the banquet in Boston when he offered to become their leader in case they should need his ser vices. Are we destined to behold Mir. Mellen addressing Howard Elliott with a demand for an increase of wages for the employees of the New Haven system?- New Haven Union.
 How little sincerity there is in the mushy appeals to Governor Baldwin in the Murderess Wakefield case is shown by the uniform character of the stuff. It is mostly inspired by yellow, sensational and maudlin newspapers out of the state who see in the case merely pretext for stimulating circulation by appealing to a very human emotion.-B Bristol Press.

Romance.

Oh, Mary Ann, 'tis many year
 Since you and marched 10 the altar And yet find you grown more dear, My love for you will never falter, You have, my dear, double chin; Your waist is more like an equator, But were you young and shy and thin My love for you could not be greater. You've lost your girlish, lissome look, You take no pride of your complexion, But gemini! How you can cook!
 To you my soul makes genufiection. In art the years improvement bring, Whereas you once sang like linnet Now, when your old love songs you sing Why, none but Schumarn-Heink is
 in it.
 You bear with all my churlish ways I sometimes think that I've a saint won, But then, of course, you have your days When am very sure you ain't one! Dear Mary Ann! You're bright and good, A cheerful, faithful wife and mother I'm very sure that if l could
 l would not swap you for another.

Ancient Epigrann,

An epigram must pass through many hands and get much polishing before 1t is perfect jewel. You may remember how Oscar Wilde sent lon the stage) the man of the world through the drawing room door with the epigram, There is one thing I never could resist, that is temptation" But you may trace it from the garden of Eden, where the masculine plea for mercy was that the woman tempted me-"
 And one finds epigram in the mouth of the American father. MT. Martin. who has just sent out his book of reminiscence. "Ah," he would often remark, "the most powerful part of the Lords Prayer is Lead us not into temp tation'-it's the most difficult foe to withstand" And probably that epigram IS the oldest in the world, polished and translated ever since Adam and Eve had to face the world-and temptation.- London Chronicle.

COM M UNITY SUN DAY.

There is widespread interest in the Canaan Community Sunday" move ment, to get everybody to church" on Sunday, January 4, and the result will be watched for with keen anticipation. When the idea was suggested in The News, few weeks ago, the local churches, and especially the church Brotherhoods. enthusiastically endorsed it and lost no time Tn forming plans for organized action in carrying out the idea, which is to induce ''every body" or as near everybody as possible, to attend church on that day.
 Committees have been appointed in all the churches, to see that the invitation is conveyed to every man and woman in the town, asking them to help the ex- pertinent by attending churcb--any church they please there is no proselyt- ing in the movement, the only purpose being to get the people into the churches. Placards have been printed and are con- spicuously displayed about town. an nouncing the. project; cards of invita- tion are being distributed personally in all sections of the town and personal so- licitatlon is being made by the com lnittees.
 The result of all this preliminary work is expected to be large congregations ln all the churches on the first Sunday of the New Year, and revival of interest in church attendance and church work generally, which shall be manifest through the Sundays to come.

Keeping Young.

Somebody's got to keep young,
 Somebody's got to keep sweet; Somebody's got to pluck roses of love. And cast them beneath life's feet. They talk of the burdens of age,
 But the burden of all, in truth, Is keeping-wherever the battles may
 rage
 The beautiful spirit of youth. Somebody's got to keep young,
 For 1t never would do if men Were to find no roses along the lane No dew on the roses again. The greatest need of the world
 Is the need of the sunny cheer Ot youth in the glory of song and story To answer when life calls: "Herew Somebody's got to keep young,
 And 1 wonder if it is me, Babble of song on my busy tongue And dreams in my soul of glee' An, we'll, shall do my best,
 For the secret of youth is this Love and the rose of a rosy breast, And the lips of rose to kiss Somebody's got to keep young, And that's why I'm dancing at nine, Dewy with light of the silver night Of the loved eyes looking in mine. Easy enough to be old.
 And sad enough in its way Somebody's got to be rosy with youth To keep Us from turning gray.

Not the Same.

Robert w. Chambers, at a literary luncheon Ill Garden Clty, replied to an attack on publishers made by a young writer:
 If there is demand for an authors book, said Mir. Chambers, "he will find his publisher anxious to treat him fairly and even generously. Of course there are exceptions-my friend Blanks publisher, for instance, was an excep- tion.
 After short conversation one day in Fifth avenue, Blank, on taking leave of me, said
 By the way, do you remember my telling you that my publisher said he would raise my royalties in month or sop
 "Yes, I misunderstood him. He meant he'd try and raise the back royalties due on the last years sales of my book. haven't had cent yet"

Webster's Favorite Joke.

MT. Lane of Washington, who re- gently dled at an advanced age, and who was not only page in the senate in the days of Webster and Clay, but who, through the fact that his uncle kept book store where these statesmen were accustomed to while away their leisure hours, came to know them intimately on their social side, stated that Webster, while not given to story telling had one favorite little joke that he would tell whenever the occasion seemed opportune.
 This, according to MT. Lane, was the story
 There arrived at Boston a certain Duchess from one of the great nations of Europe. Desiring to have some head gear suitable for her inland travels constructed. she sent for the most promi- nent milliner ill the city to come to her apartments at the Revere House, then the principal hotel of New England.
 The local m1lliner was set all afutter at the distinction shown her, but she was province bred little woman of a democratic country and knew not the "egg- dance conventions" of Court soci- ety. Accordingly, desiring to know ln what manner she should deport herself in the presence of the titled lady she ap- piled to the wife of one of the Adamses. who was a customer of hers. and who had spent some time at foreign courts.
 "Oh, all that's necessary" explained Mrs. Adams, lis 10 bow low when you are ushered into the presence of the Duchess and say Your Grace.'"
 Thus coached in court etiquette the little milliner betook herself to the Revere House and sent word to the Duchess.
 AS she was ushered into the presence of that lofty person she bent low and, with sweeping courtesy, said {:
 May the Lord make us thankfal for what we are about to receive. "- New York Times

The Land of Santa Claus.

 Hol for the land of Santa Claus, How many want to gof Over the wales of the little dream And down where they make the snow: Its streets are lined with the busy mills Whose sPindles fly as the shuttle thrills, And all day long and through the night They make the drums and the trumpets
 bright. Hol for the land of Santa Claus, And only those can see Who are just as kind and true and sweet And then, If you are, and you go to bed When mother says, you will find your
 head
 Full to the brim-in little while Of the Christmas spell and the Christ
 smile. Hol for the land of Santa Claus, With its beautiful hours of play, .I. And toys and cakss and fruit and nuts In the shops along the way And this is the way to get to go, Be sweet and good unto all you know, And mind your parents and say your
 prayers When they tell you it's time to go up-
 stairs. The Bentztown Bard.

AcHRISTMAS CARD.

My Dear Friend Christmas is com ing, the great human festival. It IS making me realize as it approaches that the best possessions have been able to get from life are my friendships.
 l want to give something to my friends.
 The other night, after thinking it all over, was surprised by the old truth, which came strongly to me, that what friends want most is to know we think of them and love them.
 Therefore I am going just to tell you think of you, that Christmas to me means you. that you are part of the spirit of these times in my life.
 want to tell you that the thought of you is sunshine to me. When memory brings back our days and words togeth- or, I am glad.
 If were fate should make you very happy I should write success upon your hands and brain every day, and bring restful sleep to you every night Each impulse from my heart goes out to you in well-wishing.
 I like you. And am angry with the space that separates us and the clrcum- stances that render our meetings few You are ''my kind of folks,'' and I have a constant desire to be near you.
 do not believe any of us realize how much friends mean to us, how their spirits subtly touch and stimulate ours when we are far apart, and what glo- rious companionshlp they make for us when their faces gather around us in fancy in our moments of loneliness. Your face, my friend. is often with me, and wish you could know what cheer it always brings.
 So here's to you I raise the glass of memory brimful of happy recollections and drink to you.
 All my good wishes fly to you as doves appreciate what you have meant to me. I value your personality, just as it is. I clasp your hand through the intervening distance. From the bottom of my heart l say "God bless you p' " I thing of you when I recall these words of Goethe:

IF LIFE WERE ALL.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT.

If life were all, what barren way
 Our sojourn here would be, For on the very brightest sky
 A somber cloud we see. The dearest joy oft turns to pain,
 Fond hopes are 'twined with fears, Our castles crumble ere complete,
 Sweet smiles oft shine through tears. But hope's bright star ne'er groweth dim Faith strengthens every day; For life is just journeying on
 To Home across the way.
