What the Other Fellows Say.

"Hail, Gentle Spring, ethereal Mild ness, hail." But we could do quite as well with little square winter weather. We should know how to meet that April showers are supposed to bring forth May flowers, but the long, cold rains of this April are bringing out some thing less attractive than flowers. Not everybody voices his displeasure, but all feel it.-Bridgeport Standard.
 At time when the ship of state is voyaging from one sudden sound and shock to another, we may remember to our comfort that Longfellow told us a generation ago not to fear any of them "'Tis of the wave and not, the rock" he cheeringly said.-Hartford Courant.
 Democratic office seekers might try the hunger strike game, just to find out whether the President really is "a human being. ."-New Haven Union.
 Do the New Workers really like their plan for circular court house, 800 feet in diameter, we'll enough to have it built ? Hartford Times.
 Secretary Bryan has something tan gible to be thankful for. He has again reached the first page of the newspapers and is receiving editorial attention. He will not leave the cabinet under those circumstances.-New Haven Journal Courier.
 Peace Day will be very generally ob- served on May Ioth Tn the public schools throughout the country. It is cordially recommended, also, to politicians Ansonia Sentinel.
 Willis Moore is going to become weather lecturer, but can he explain why carrying an umbrella keeps off the rain? Hartford Post. .
 Members of the General Assembly are doing good deal of complaining about what they term insufficient salary. The people, too, have grievance. They feel that they are paying a good deal more than the work is worth. With a few exceptions the members deserve to be docked rather than raised.-Bristol Press.

His Higher Station.

It was during the rush hour last Sat urday night. A man and girl got or a Euclid avenue car at the public square and succeeded in getting whole seat. Then the car filled up, and the standeI opposite that seat couldn't help hearing a part of the conversation, which was low, but impassiond. The young man appeared to be pleading for something the girl was evidently demurring.t
 "Please," he whispered, but she shook her head. At Fortieth street he was still begging, and then she grew firm nay, naughty.
 "No," she said. "I cannot, might Harold, but your station is too far above my own"
 We took that for false humility, but the event proved that she spoke the truth for she got.off at Fifty-ffth street while he went aito 105th.-Oleveland Plain Dealer.

Pro and Con.

To the Editor of The News:
 I noticed the editorial in April 3rd issue of your paper, telling about the benefits of polished dome, or in other words hairless head. I agree with the gentleman from Atlantic City, that it saves lots of time and bother at combing ones hair. not to mention all the expense for combs, brushes, hair oil, shampooing trimming, cutting etc. A towel answers me for comb. We all know that bald ness indicates brains and intelligence. This does not state all the advantages of a hairless pate. It is a grand thing for some married men to be shy of hair, but every good thing has its drawbacks. If I could only out-general the pesky mos quitoes and pestiferous flies. I would be perfectly happy in my hairless state i; but they seem to consider the top of my head IS public skating rink, and they work all the time to patronize it--con- found them CHAs A. HARRIS

Letters From the People
Colonel osborn's Birthday Cards.
Q the Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 Will you kindly allow me space in the columns of your valuable paper to con- vey message of affection and apprecia- tion to many of the good people of your town who are connected with your pro- gressive Business Mems Association Last Thursday, the 17th, became IS, 20 or g years of age, l am not sure which, and upon my return that afternoon from Hartford, where I had gone to play the role of Little Father to the State of Con- necticut upon one or two important matters, I found stack of congratula- tory postal cards from many of my valued friends, not only in your town, but from some of the adjoining towns as well.
 When man can secure the approval of Canaan's chief Dominic, its com. manding editor, it's physicians, it's post master, and the various others who con- tribute so Loyalty to the well-being of their community, he may be said to be thrice fortunate. l can assure you, and through you these good friends of mine, that they touched very tender chord in me. and Tn addition brought me back suddenly to the realization of the man ner in which must in the future con- duct myself to continue in a kind regard l want, through you, to thank each and every one of them, because it is mani festly impossible to answer each one in- dividually. It may suffice if 1 promise upon the occasion of the next annual dinner of the Business Mems Associa- tion to take each by the hand and thank him personally. If anything could tempt me to abandon the town in which I was born, to take up a residence in another town in the same good old State of Connecticut, I can confidentially as- sure you that Canaan would be my choice.
 Thanking you for the space allowed me, and again sending greetings to each and every one of my good friends there, 1 remain, Affectionately yours,

TOWNS THAT GROW.

There is so much of plain, hard, adapt able truth in the appended editorial ut terance of an exchange, and it is so pal pably in line with the doctrine at which this paper has been assiduously ham, mering for many, many moons, that The News takes pleasure in reprinting it herewith :
 The reason why some towns grow is because they have men in them with push and energy and who are not afraid to spend their time, enc gy and money m anything that will boom the town. They have confidence enough in their town to erect substantial and modern buildings and residences and work for public improvements in the same order.

SMITH HILL.

It will be gratifying news to not only autoists but drivers generally to learn that there is prospect of early atten- tion being given to the highway be- tween Canaan and Salisbury, with special reference to obviating the nui- sance and discomfort incident to getting over or around Smith Hill. Highway Commissioner Bennett is to go over the territory, May 3. in company with dele gations of the Business Mems Associa- tions of Lakeville and Canaan and it is expected that something tangible will develop from the conference. Commis- sioner Mcdonald had under considera- tion specific plans for most desirable layout of trunk highway between the two towns, which it is understood Mr. Bennett is likely to approve.
 For generations the Smith Hill route has been practically impossible at any season of the year. Regardless of the care bestowed upon it by the town of Salisbury, it's condition could not be maintained at a decent standard beyond the first rainstorm ensuing, at the longest. There is large volume of travel between Canaan ani Salisbury, Lakeville, Salisbury, Millerton and to the good roads of New York state, and Smith Hill has always been the obstacle to be dreaded. It has been demon strated that it is impossible to maintain that section of thoroughfare ln naviga- ble condition unless radical changes are made in grade, approaches, etc., and it seems to be generally conceded that an entire new layout would be preferable on general principles. It is likely that the forthcoming conference with the highway commissioner will result in some definite action being taken toward bringing about lasting improvement in the travel conditions to the West.

The profound and universal grief man. ifested in Pittsfeld at the death of Luke J. Minahan, proprietor of the Hotel Wendell, was befitting for the man of whose patriotic loyalty Lieutenant-G Gov efnor Walsh said, among other things:
 'Pittsfeld had no more loyal or en- thusiastic admirer than Luke Minahan. Wherever he went he proclaimed the beauties of the Berkshires and the pub lie spirit and enterprise of the city of Pittsfeld. He was Pittsfield enthusi- ast, and he loved Massachusetts no less because of his great affection for his home city. Luke Minahan was a lover Of mankind. He brought sunshine with him wherever he went. He was sym pathetic as child and his charity was broad and liberal"

lish factories, induce industrial enter prise, to locate and use every means to further the best interests of the town. Their work is never considered finished and the accomplishment of one thing is only the incentive of another.
 "On the other hand, the town that does not get ahead will be found to be dominated by either set of men who are perfectly satisfied with their sur roundings, or who are afraid somebody else will be benefited in the event some- thing is started consequently no effort of any kind is made by this class, for these two reasons.
 | If some men or set of men endeavor to start something they are met by op- position and Encouragement, and it is uphill work all the way, and very often failure.
 "Every town, however, has certain progressive element which hopes for a turn of the tide when the town will go forward by leaps and bounds and occu- py position of importance and obtain numerous advantages which go to make good town in every sense.
 But this stage cannot be accomplish ed by mere wishes or suppositions. It can only come from harmony in purpose and action and the eternal vigilance of it's citizens.
 The town with these things will con tinue to grow and improve, but the town without them can be expected to remain in a state of lethargy indefinitely with out affording it's residents anything but a mere existence"

The mystery of the disappearance of Talmadge Pulver is now year old. MT Pulver left his home early Monday morning. April 22. last year, and left no clue as to his purpose, his destination nor the direction he may have taken and although the most rigid search was promptly instituted by posses of men and the Boy Scouts, who for several days secured the hills and woods on all sides and searched every cavern, de- serted building and river pool, not the faintest clue of the missing man was ever found. He had disappeared as completely as if the Garth had opened up and swallowed him.

Sure, this world is full of trouble 1 ain't said it ain't. Lord! I've had enough, an double Reason for complaint. Rain an storm have come to fret me Skies were often gray; Thorns an brambles have beset me On the road-but say,
 Ain't it fine todayl Whats the use of always weepin' Maxim trouble last? Whats the use of always keepin' Thinkin' of the past? Each must have his tribulation, Water with his wine, Life it ain't no celebration, Trouble I've had mine But today is fine. It's today that am livin', Not month ago, Havin', losin', takin', givin', As time wills it so. Yesterday a cloud of sorrow Fell across the way; It may rain again tomorrow, It may rain-but, say.
