 Her mother comforted herself by thinking, She is only a schoolgirl, and when she comes out, her introduce tion to society can be made such as to compel her to mingle more among the set I desire for her. I want her to make a good match, and have the happy married life l have had. There are advantages in having quiet husband. He never interferes with my plans.
 When I look about me and see the contention in some families, know, I feel that I have much to be thankful for. What should I have done if my husband were like some I know. al ways overruling their wives. and try ing to control every little detail of domestic life? We should be in quarrel all the time. After all. there are worse things to bear than a silent husband, who keeps his thoughts to himself.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Game Laws and Violations.


 Mr. Editor: We read various opinions changes in our state game laws and it appears to be generally decided that much legislation along game lines is useless if not foolish. While all kinds of laws are in force and are enforced rigidly it looks peculiar to me that Rhode Island wealthy people can come up here two or three times a week, shoot all day, gather in big punches of game and just before sunset hie themselves over hill and dale to the land of Roger Williams with scores of birds that according to our laws should be left right here in Connect icut For four weeks now this Rhode Island auto party has been coming here, sometimes three times a week. The birds they shoot would taste very good to our Connecticut farmer boys who by the way must not send game out of the state
 Is there a law maker or a, law ex- ecutor in this state that for one single moment thinks it is right for the laws to be openly violated by people living outside the state? Is there a man of average intelligence that for a mo- ment believes that the Rhode Island sports hunt all day in woods of South Plainfeld, Canterbury and Griswold and do 1t week after week 1T they don't shoot anything?
 If they do shoot anything is there any reason to believe that they throw the birds away before starting for the clam state at sunset? Last Tuesday the woods rang with the merry ping, ping of quiet-kinder quiet-gun shots all day Near the farm of J. J. Doyle in South Plainfeld some of the hunt ing party used decoy duck whistles if you know what that is, and there is reasonable ground to think they were more or less successful.
 I don't go hunting myself, but there are lots of boys born and bred around here that do, and something must be done right now to stop Rhode Island pot hunters clearing the woods of Con- necticut of game and taking it. tC Rhode Island contrary to the law OuI

Despite the apparent evil effects of the practice of locking the doors of
 factories during working hours, as have been repeatedly pointeS out in case of fire. and the endeavor to over come il through prosecution the inn position of fines Is evidently not the way to meet the situation. Even the frightful loss of life in the Triangle Shirtwaist factory was not enough to correct the policy for 1t was immedf- ately resumed when business was re- newed and it was by no means pecu- liar to that establishment. The re- peated instances where proprietors are arrested and fined for the offense does not remove such cases from the court, and where the loss Of life and the inn position of fines are unavaiHng in com batting an unlawful act. the strongest measures are called for
 The employees cannot overlook the fact that they have an important re- sponsibility in connection with such arrangem ents. fact which is too of ten forgotten, but this does not furnish sufficient excuse for the maintenance of the recognized danger, It ought not to require the sacrifice of a score or more lives. just because of such prac- tice. to secure the elimination of the locked factory door. Some safer method of being certain that employees are faithful to their work should be devised and in these days of inVen- ton it ought not to be a hard or cost ly problem to solve, to the satisfac- ton of the employer and to the relief of humanity. And the time to do it is before more glaring examples are through death.

 It is perfectly right for us to want money enough to secure reasonable independence. Any one who is not investing regularly a portion of his earnings is a fool. Thrift is just aE sterling a virtue now as it was in the days of Ben Franklin. Any child not trained to save is wronged.

How much trouble in this world would be saved. if this motto were closely observed. There is another old saying: Speech Is silver, which though often overlooked, Is not so often forgotten" Such words come back and back again, and rankle in the memory, leaving their effect even against ones will or desire. They are like briars or burs which cling to one's clothing as one passes by, and If un- noticed at the time show thmeSelves when least expected.
 Then, too. speech so often intensifes the thought. We are more apt to re- member the III feeling or unwise opin- ion if we put 1t into words. and. as we all hate to apologize, much mortifica- ton would be saved, if we kept our thoughts to ourselves.

RESPIRATION THE REMEDY.

The strike of the ChaufeUTs in New York who were employed by the com pany holding the government contract for the transportation of the mails in the city was quickly ended, It con- cerned not a large number and it's brief duration was only. such as the situa- ton demanded. The difficulty was be- tween the contractor and his em- ployes over the recognition of a union and the observance of such regulations as it was considered the work demand ed. The result was that while the strike was embarrassing for a short time 10 the contractor until the places of the strikers could be filled, the real force of the action fell upon the gov ernment and the public in the delay which was caused to the quantities of mail which are handled in the me tropoIis.
 It was of the same character as many such disputes which involve public service corporations, and in which it was the public which was bound to suffer Even though it was possible to fill the places of the strik- CTS and thus end the trouble the prin- ciple of the move is subject to severe criticism. If there was any merit at all to the contentious or the ChauHeurS who went on strike, in justice to those who were bound to feel the effects of their action most, the fair and impar- tiaI benefits Of a ebitration should have been sought There is no point at which greater harm could have been done in tying Up the mail than In New York city but unfortunately too little thought is given to the conse- Quences.

 The way of success in life is not so difficult as many young people think. There are some things necessary for success.

If you get the idea you are a genius do not even trust that secret to your mother or sweetheart; it is too good to give out through speech; and it is sure to be more profitable if some one else dis covers it. The young man who lets his work speak for him is right in line of promotion; and nothing speaks louder Risk the initiative now and then just to show you are not a ploddcr The common level is what you must get above, or your lot will be just the common-Ievel lot.

Do not be deceived by appearances. Don't you know there are persons in the community who are better able to wear diamonds than those who do wear them; and better able to ride in automobiles than those who do ride in them. Of course, some people think so much of appearances that they waste their patrimony upon them and are only seen in their own light late in life. There is too much surface judgement in this world; and the world is a tremendous loser every day because things and persons are not what they seem to be. It is no joke that "all the worlds a stage and men and women merely actors" If we could have revealed to us the great army that is daily engaged in making things seem to be what they are not we should be surprised, and perhaps lose our faith in man. This is because man does and always has er-estimated the value of appear ances. This universal habit prompted Daniel Webster to declare: ''The world is governed more by appear ances than by realities, so that it is fully as necessary to seem to. know something as to know it." Deception is always at a premium.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
LIVING THINGS DOWN.

Lives there a man who sooner or later does not have to put his past entirely behind him lest it should be weight on his back or cast an affrighting shad- ow over his onward path? Today with thousands of men the main problem is to live down their past. They com pose the army of prison inmates for whom on the particular day, known as the annual prison Sunday, which has recently been once more observed, the special interest of the outside world is requested. For them certainly no bet ter wish can be offered than that they may have the power to redeem their past and that whenever the gates of their prison house may open outward to them they may be able to go forth and live decent and law abiding lives.

When the world comes to properly regard the cultivation of mind it will begin to protect children from in juricus impressions instead of leaving them open to thoughts and sugges- tiCns which may make them morbid, if not actual invalids, for life. Anything which excites fear in the mind is a physical or mental peril, for it en- gcnders worriment and a thousand and one things which simply menace comfort until fear is routed There is nothing worse to plant in the juvenile mind than disease ideas which create imaginative pictures of sickness and distress. Health ideas are the things for old and young to cultivate. It is unhealthy imaginngs which make half the people inyalids, and supplies the world with hypochondriacs. With out health has been defined as being only an image of death. In Seneca's day it was said Tear kills more than disease:" and from this the moderns made the proverb: Fear kills more than the physician" If this genera ton was wise it would do all in it's power to prevent the planting of the seeds or fear in the minds of the in nOcent.

When we think of commenting each week upon some book, we feel a tremor running through our soul. In our opinion of books we differ from most readers; and The Man Who Talks would not expect them to agree with him. The only book he could talk weekly upon with assurance of not exciting intense antagonisms is the Book of Nature, and this is the book most peo- pie are least familiar with, although in the presentation of truth and mar vellous phenomena it is inexhaustible Beware of the man of one book" says the proverb: and the man of the Book of Nature has to be included in the warning.

The reason life is not worth living to some people is because they have too many spare moments. Somehow the average man does not get 8, grip on the thought that there should be no idle moments-that there is no necessity for them. That old adage All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" has been doing more harm than good because it has been often misinterpreted. Play does not neces- sarily mean wasted time and exercise. It is possible to find pleasure and rest in useful employment-in doing some thing one in yearning to get time to attend to. Young men have learned a foreign language in the moments spent in riding home from work in a trolley car; and President Taft was famous for dictating work to his stenographer while travelling from point to point even in carriage To have spare moments inviting one constantly to idleness is to have a ser ious handicap in life. Spare moments if properly used, may be made the most profitable and most enjoyable moments in the day, the moments of most consequence in a lifetime.
