LANTERN HILL NOT
 HIGHEST IN COUNTY.
It's Reputation Not Sustained When
 the Figures Are Quoted.

Two Norwich men who think they know a good bit about the ups and downs in their corner of Connecticut found out the other day that Lantern Hill, although the most popular eleva- tion in New London county is far from the highest hill in the county. They took their friendly wager to Civil Engineer George E. Pitcher of this city, who has all the heights of all the hills in his head as well as on paper.
 "The topmost 'silex of gleam on the Lantern Hill range is only 580 feet up from sea level, according to the most authentic survey" said Pitcher, land Raymond hill in Mont viIle-5SS feet-doesn't head the class, either Bare hill, toward the top of Voluntown, three or four miles north of the famous Mt Misery, and close to the Sterling or Windham county line 6Voluntown was formerly in Wind ham county1 measures $40 feet to the tip. Nit Misery is but 480 feet.
 North Stonington has other hills than Lantern, but they don't get near the 500 foot notch. Prentice moun- tain is $40. Dolbear hill in MontvilIe is 597. Sweet hill in Lebanon Is 641, Pleasure hill in Franklin b2O, Bay mountain in Grisweld 5s0. Rixtown mountain in the same town an even b00 and Basham in Bozrah is 5S0

MAHAN's COURAGE.
Shown in His Attitude Toward RaiI-
 road Ownership.

It is not strange that the threat to introduce in congress a bill pro- viding for the government ownership of railroads should first be made in New England. Conditions in these states have been leaning in that direc- tion for some time past. Nor is it sur prising that the intention of present. ing such a bill should first come from Congressman Mahan, of this state. It could come only from a man of his initiative, conviction and courage. MT. Mahan has been a close student of railway troubles in New England, re- gardless of whether they have con- cerned employees, stockholders, ship pers, or passengers; and if he has concluded in his own mind that the time is ripe for the government to aS- sume control, he would be the last man to wait for someone else to do what in his opinion should be done The yigor and success with which he pushed the million4dollar harbor project for New London gave some indication of the determination with which he would fight for any measure to which he put his name-particular ly if it were one of great consequence. such for instance, as would be in volved in the government ownership of railways. True, he can find the plan in practical operation in other countries, but in America it is deemed radical The man who fathers it, therefore, must assume political risks. Of these MT Mahan has never been afraid Tn taking them, however, he has usually displayed foresight and caution, with the result that he has profted rather than lost by them. And it may be that his proposition concern ing government ownership will turn to his personal good. To do so, it must first prove to be for the public good-Hartford Times.

HAPHAzARD SHOPPING.
A Fatiguing Way For the Holiday Buyers-A Better and Easier Sys- tenn Proposed.

Haphazard buying This is what makes so much of the Christmas shop ping confusing, wearisorne and un- satisfactory.
 On the contrary, the person who buys with system saves gimp, cash and time.
 Standing in the middle of a store of a thousand gifts and snatching at the first articles which come handy, is to lose entirely the true spirit of Christmas.
 The wise shopper goes about the work with system.
 The first steps that counts is a clear and definite list of the bulk of the gifts to be purchased.
 It is not even necessary to think what these are to be. since ready helpers are at hand to jog ones mem ory.
 Ever try clipping a present list from The Bulletins advertising coIumns7
 It's a capital plan!

Mrs. George T. Lord rendered beau tiful solos at the close of the talk. In closing Mir. Wycl<on wished the men a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and the men responded with a similar wish for both Mr. Wyckoff and Mrs. Lord.
