Did His Be- st.

A certain young man in this city who had lowly beginnings recently made a stab at breaking into society. Being a likeable young man he soon established a circle of acquaintanoes among whom was a charming girl with an erudite grandfather.
 Billy" sad the girl, "you must meet grandfather.
 Not long afterward, in obedience to the girls invitation. the young man called at tea, was introduced to the grandfather who at once led hlm aside and began to talk literature.
 They were getting along splendidly until grandfather, straightening, up de- manded:
 Young man, what is your opinion of the Baconian theory?" ...-.
 The young man grew red.
 Finally. he blurted out:

The big banquet hall, with it's 200 guests. was filled with the atmos- phere of enthusiasm, and redolent of cordial friendliness, responsiveness and good cheer. The perfection of detail and execution was all the more remark able from the fact that it was the Asso- ciation's first banquet. Explaining chow it was done," the Sentinel says 1: ''The committees worked, worked, worked, and then worked some more. More than that, they worked together, with push and pull and, when necessary, compulsion.
 It was plain that the right men were on the committees, as it was no less plain that the right kind of men make up the membership of the Association. They are enterprising, philosophical, hustling business men over in the Naugatuck valley, and make success of whatever they undertake. That's why the Nauga- tuck valley has every other valley in the state skinned mile," in population growth, industrial expansion and general osperity-though they do, in emer- gency, reach over into the Housatonic valley when they want something good. as for instance, witness the construction of the million dollar plant in Falls Will lage, for the transmission of power from the Housatonic valley to the busy Naugatuck.

 A nice but not especially clever young man went to a little evening party in the east end last week-so the story goes. This young man was introduced to several pretty girls, but he showed a distinct preference for certain one of these, and her he led to supper and dis tinguished among all others by his favors. Finally he got her into corner and stammered forth his admiration thus:

The Wurra Wurra Club.

| Tresident FTeu Morln was unaVoldably absent from the meeting, as he had a hen on, up at his place, and had to be there in readiness to count the chicks. Therefore he couldn't come. The sex | ton of the Club, MT. $. Benevolent Strong, announced the presidents ab- sence, and nominated George Mather as temporary chairman pro tenn" There was no objection, and Mir Mather took the chair. He started to make speech of thanks for the honor conferred upon him, and all that sort of thing, but ex- Mayor Rowe interrupted with this inter- ruption:
 "Aw, what's eating you' Cut out the gulf stuff and get down to brass tacks."
 Whereupon the chair apologized for his politeness, and ordered the secretary to sing the minutes of the previous meet. ing. The secretary said he was no choral union, and delegated the job to George Hardenbergh, who did it.
 A motion was offered by Ralph Far. mum that the chair appoint committee of three to chaperon the selectmen about the center of the village and point out to them the places where the prospective new crosswalks are desired to be located The motion was seconded by Henry Reed and passed unanimously. The chair appointed Messrs William l. Reel, Henry D. Reed and Norman Moore on the committee.
 June Rhoades got up and said he would like to suggest thut the committee on public health and safety be instructed to make tour of inspection through the Sands and Sodom districts, to ascertain if there is any show for the moral and spiritual redemption of the denizens of those benighted sections, which have been so assiduously visited by the sheriff and his black Maria, within couple of weeks.
 "Does the gentleman offer that as motion or a resolutionP" asked the chair.
 "Of course not" replied Rhoades, "I offer it as remedy to make hair grow on bald heads"
 "Mister Pres dent" said the fat mem Der, raising himself up out of his seat, cit maybe all right enough t investigate tn moral goodness of them folks up there, but it seems t me that they ought t be some sort O notice took of tn sheriff associations too. I've read in tn paper a dozen time that he's ben seen goin' up there in broad daylight along with black Marian, an it seems to t me that either tn high sheriff or tn community ort t. do suthin' about sech shameless disre- gard O public sentiment don't know who this black Marian Is, but it's plain enough, from what I hear of her gaddin' up an down with tn sheriff, that she's a shameless hussy an ort t be delt with. What must the outside world think"
 "Mr. President" said Howard Bierce, interrupting, "I can assure our corpulent friend that the black Maria is strictly moral vehicle, engaged in the beneficent work of cooperating with the duly con- stituted authorities in the apprehension of law breakers. Maria is all right travel with her and the, sheriff myself. "
 The fat member said he would accept the explanation and apologize to Maria.
 Dan Sweeney started to make motion about the numerous arrests for illegal selling, in the sections referred so, but the chair ruled him out of order and de- clared the meeting adjourned.

THE MORNING HOUR.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

In the hush of early morning,
 Ere the rush of life begins, All the world seems at devotions,
 Praying to be kept from sins. Iris as if benediction
 Hovered o'er the world in love, Bidding us be pure and holy,
 Like unto those up above. And our day is made the better,
 We have gained a wondrous power From the holy inspiration ... Of the quiet morning hour.
