Little Boy.

You've wondrous winning smile,
 Little Boy! And some tricks that oft beguile
 Us to joy. You've an eye so clear and true And laugh that's ever new And we wish that we were you,
 Little Boy. You have strange and sudden ways,
 Little Boy. And your pranks sometimes amaze
 And annoy. You can make a house appear Like place upset and queer When a cyclone has drawn near,
 Little Boy. When your evelids close at night,
 Little Boy, With your arms still folded tight
 Round some toy, You're an angel for whose sake Any sacrifice we'd make Though you're none when you're awak,
 Little Boy.

Bath for Eyeglasses.

Do you ever give your eyeglasses a bath? If not, give them a surprise and see how you like the result.
 Especially in summer, when dampness and dust from gummy combination on the eyelashes, the wearer of glasses or spectacles will find his vision, apparently much improved by giving them a thorough washing daily with soap and warm water, followed by drying and polishing with tissue paper. The gum my substance which collects on the lenses in hotweather cannot be removed by mere rubbing with chamois or tissue paper, and the more humid the day, the more necessary becomes the eyeglass bath.
 An oculist, who knows the importance of well.washed lenses, carries in his pocket a vial of alcohol. 1t takes but a moment to moisten the corner of hand kerchief and remove the combination of dust and moisture from his glasses. An other business man has the case of his glasses underlined with folded bit of soft tissue, such as is used for copying letters in offices. This is SO soft that it is easily folded into the small spaces of the spectacle case. No dust collects on this as it does on the velvet lining, and the tissue Interlining is renewed every day or two.-New York Times,

CANDIDATES TO DATE.

Although the next state election is fifteen months in the future, the slate- makers are having their busy season, and 'piling up work for the slate breakers, later on. Already the political specula- tors are forecasting the state tickets of both the old parties-though there is a mysterious absence of speculation con- corning the Bull Moose possibilities.
 On the republican side, the forecasters are prominently mentioning the name of Speaker Morris 0. Webster, of liar. winton. in this county, who piloted the lower house through it's somewhat tenn pestuous session last winter, and acquired undoubted strength with an influential element of the party, Judge John P. Studley, of New Haven, who led the party ticket last fall, is mentioned for renomination, and his intimate friends believe that, the adverse con- ditions of last year being minimized, he would make successful run against any man the democrats are likely to put up. Col. John Q. Tilson, of New Ha- yen, ex-congressman-at-la large, is another available candidate. He was defeated for Congress from the second district by think his valiant fight in that contest should entitle him to the chance to head the State ticket. Ex-Lieut.- Gov. Dennis A Blakeslee.. of New Haven. who was, kwy fn h1 i,o1 fnr 1o gubernatorial nomination last fall. has 8 large and loyal backing for the honor, and is expected to make showing in the convention.
 Foremost among the democratic avail aDles, is Lieutenant Governor Lyman T. Tingier, whose recognized ability and personal charm have won for him 8 large and influential following. At the present stage of the speculation, the feeling is strong that, as it seems to be a recognized fact that Governor Baldwin will allow himself to be persuaded to enter the race for the United States Sen- atorship, Judge Tingier will be the fore most logical candidate for the governor ship. He will have the undivided support of the democratic members of the Bald-Head Club of America, at whose banquet. in the Garfield, Canaan. on October 16, he will be one of the speakers. State Comptroller D. P. Dunn, of Willimantic is said to have sharp eye on the governorship nomination, though it is intimated that if that is beyond his reach he would be satisfied to take the utenant-governorship. Congressman Tom Reilly, of Meriden, who has proved himself an invincible vote-getter in two campaigns for Congress, is classified among the possibilities for the governor ship, though there seems to be some doubt us to his own attitude toward the nomination. Senator Landers, of New Britain, who has been democrat for 8 year or so, may be out for the nomina- tion if he still belongs to the party at convention time.
 Besides these availables, others are , springing up almost daily, and it is cer- tain there will be no lack of timber when the convention season arrives.

The various trials of Harry Thaw are said to have cost the state of New York $S50, 1000, and the Thaw family $1 100000. In view of the fact that all this expend- iture was in behalf of disgusting de- cents (2c) to society, it seems like a waste of good money.

REBUILDING.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Life is always a rebuilding
 From the efforts of the past And the structure we're erecting
 Through eternity will last. Earthly hopes and disappointments,
 Joys and sorrows have place In this never-ending process
 Naught of it can we efface. Everything has some good purpose,
 All are steps by which we climb, And we finish with rebuilding,
 When we reach the heights sublime

The Hartford Courant will soon begin the issuing of & Sunday edition. The wonder has been that the Courant, the oldest newspaper in the state, has not fallen Into line long before this. It has become thoroughly convinced. however, after 143 years of deliberation, that ''it owes it to it's prestige and it's position in the newspaper world. to get into line, !" and that "the morning newspaper should come out every morning" Just what sort of a paper the Sunday Courant will be, the brief announcement says i've can tell you more definitely later" In the meantime it will be safe to expect a Sunday Coura1t that will rank with the best, just as it's regular edition does.
