Written Specially for the Bulletin) 1 Not that have many, and I mean i to forget them, if possible, I was trained fren ehiIaheed te count up my mereies insteadi and when I mar Fied Harry hatiner felt sure there WeHld be He misfeftunes te reckon. We had known each ether well fer years and hepeS ts be very happy In the home We made for ourselves in a pleasant and comfortable flat. Our hopes were more than realized SC far as was concerned and I Halter my self that Harry was specially content, He proved himself g generous devoted and indulgent husband, se why should not l be happy in making his comfort and happiness my first thought. Bnt Harry had an aunt on whom we had not counted, and she, 1t must be admitted was misfortune As it chaHced, her name was Fortune-M M iss Milissa Fortune. Really she was only great unt to Harry, being his mother S aunt. Where in her 6Wn home, she had a fine establishment, well ap-, pointed in all particulars and well managed by it's owner. Once in 8 while. however. she was seized with fancy to bestoW her jresenee upon her town nephew and nteees, and Harry being favorite with the old lady was most often favored with a lengthy visit
 Well do I remember her first day at our home. Of. course Harry had told me of Aunt Melissa and some of her eeeentrieities, but the half had not been told. l thought 1 was prepared for all I should be called upon to meet, but found myself in the wrong For instance, we had always been Harry and Fannie te each other, and when was aeeested as Niece Francis. a chill ran down my spine. and 1t stayed there during most of her visit. She insisted on calling my husband Henry. claiming Harry was not sufficiently digaified for a married man with a wife and child.
 Now little Jack was the darling of our hearts, and it took much self control on our part te be instructed as we were quite often, as te how we should rear him. In Aunt MelisSais s opinion, 1t was a grieyous mistake that he was not a girl. Then he would have been named for her, of course: and she would have done well by the child She insisted on calling him John. much to that young mans dis gust, and in confidence he told his nurse. Me no like old woman Wish she'd go home.
 The nurse was another blunder on our part. Aunt Melissa give me to understand from the first day of her visit that with our income, we could not afford a nurse: l should care for the baby myself.
 Aunt Melissa was misfortune in other ways. All our domestic affairs demanded reformation. Our table was too lavishly provided, we should econe- mize there, she announced. Let her do the marketing and We would soon see difference. She appeared to- en- l st x5o of mi hQI and never refused 6 second helping when it was offered
 She protested against the telephone as an unnecessary extravaganee, but every day found her using 1t to com municate with some one of her friends.

6ETTER POLITICS.

In accordance with his temperament, Governor Baldwin indicates in ad- vaaeing the idea that the state should bear the expense of can diaates' campaigns, that he has given much thought to the sub ject, He has been a student of pol itics and campaigns fer a long time and his suggestion before the cenfeF- ence of governors concerns a matter which every state is vitally interested in. Not only is 1t aimed at giving the poor man a chance, but it has possi- bilities in serving to help overcome the corrupting influences of money. Governor Baldwin would have the state bear the expense of printing and distributing ballots and other papers required by law, travelling expenses of the candidates to and from appoint ments for public or private meetings incident to the campaign. travelling expenses of speakers in their behalf. copying poll and registry lists and pro- Yiding ehailengers.
 The demand at every election is for the best men but there Is a question whether it would serve to bring about the selection of the best talent, though it would reduce the burden upon can didates and remove them from obliga- tions to friends who so often aid in supplying the funds. With reforms coming in politics it offers an inter- esting subject for consideration. If it means the choice of the best talent, and cleaner and better politics, it is what we want.

TOWN COOPERATION.

It is surprising that the state high way commissioner should be finding it go difncult to get the proper cooper atien on the part of the towns of the state for the important work of road building and maintenance, and per- hapa even more so that this lack of support should come from the small towns Good raads are valuable to ev- cry town, whether it be large or small, and there is no town which can realize this any more than the small one where the highway is relied upon for all kinds of travel and where there should exist the greatest interest in maintaining the best which can be af- forded- There are benefits which are attached to modern roads, which no community can afford to overlook Good roads bring the eo1ntry nearer the city, increase the value of prop erty. and as an aid te transportation, tighten the burden of man and beast
 Such matter as good roads should be the first to arouse the efforts of every town. not solely for the local benefits but to do their part i'm the worthy undertaking of bettering the roads of the entire state There should be no lack of cooperation between the towns and the state, They should work as unit in the common cause. The small town. least of all, can afford to neglect such an important considera- ton in keeping abreast of the times. Too often is the small town misjudged by the condition of it's roads, a sit- uation which can be overcome through cooperation There should be a dis position to pull together instead of apart

FAIRGROUNDS.

The playground season has been brought to successful close. Ser vice of 8 most useful character has been given during the months of July and August, demonstrating in most conclusive way the wisdom of the movement and the well founded be- lief of those whose efforts and con triburions made the undertaking pos sible- There has been increased at tention given to the operation of the slaEsrpnnds and in every way has the faith which has heen manifested in the supervised institution been strength ened
 The closing exhibition of athletic events and pretty dances was fitting dnale In which ali the children en- tered with interest and spirit It Is not possible that the many hundreds of children who have been cared for on the grounds and entertained during otherwise dull times, have not profit- cd through this attention which has been rendered them It is but a repe- tition of the excellent results which have attended Ike undertakings else where Fairgrounds have proved their worth.
 There Is only one way in which Nor wich can properly and adequately rec ognize the worth of the work which has been done and that is through continuing and increasing the interest and efforts ia it's behalf. The possibil- ities and value have been fully demon- strated and 1t now remains to give the playground movement the united support which 1t deserves, and insure it's perraanencF.

IMPEACHMENT ys. RECALL.

When so much is, being urged in be- half of the recall over the operation of impeachment the action of the low CT house of congress in taking up the charges against Judge Speer of Geor- sia for investigation indicates cORspic- uoasIy that the government already has ample and effective means for handling just such matters.
 There is, moreover, a benefit attach ed to the impeachment since as the New York Post well says; '1mpeaeh- melt is not a weapon which may be SeiEed by g handful of dissatisfied men, bur if has fnalfty, and what is more important, a dignided and judicial method of procedure, about 1t that advocates of the recall might well sigh for in their rude substitute for it. To be put of the bench by popular vote would not be pleasant. but the victim could very frequently saiaee himself and confuse many of the open minded by pointing to the nature of the cam palgn which would almost inevitably precede such vote, The upright judge. on the other hand, who had of tended, not the popular sense of judi ciai p.Dpriety. but a popular interest or prejudice, would be greatly handi- capped in employing the very aFgu- ments upon which his case would rest most selidiy,"
 There Is fairness about the inn peaehmant which must receive full consideration, It means action with a deliberation which eliminates thought lessness but entirely in accordance with the facts as established after a thorough hearing. Impeachment pro- ceedings insure an impartial and prop CT consideration of both sides of all charges.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
lnhnity

iTFlHfkTs
 We cannot comprehend infinity; we can only label it. The nathematicians indicate it by the figure turned over en its side.
 When we speak the word time" we hnity, for time has no beginning. no end. When we think the word space" we entertain another thought which has no bounds.
 Indnity is a spiritual presence. 1t confusing; 1t is madness. We must turn from it and shut it out of our thought else we cannot think it does not exist. though it does exist.
 We close our eyes to 1t and. never theless. it is there.
 Infinity is a spiritual presneee It operates upon all minds. It is the pressure of the infinite that drives the sensualist to say. Eat. drink and be merry, for to-morrow we die.' Its in- fiuence upon another type or mlHd drives the man to religion.
 Institutions are shelters against the infinite. Such are the home, the church and all housings of mems bodies and souls. In them we huddie together TOT fear of this unknown thing.
 Out of the infinite come all things the souls and bodies of men, the plants and animals the galaxies of stars. Into it again pour all things, for at least inf1nity swallows all. Visible things are but a shudder of the infinite, passing dream of eternity. We see the infinite everywhere. We see it when we look at the sky, as in a picture. We hear it when the clock strikes, marking the passage of its stream. We touch it when we pray to God. We feel it when we witness death It brushes by us in the symph- onies of Beethoven. in the marbles of Michelangelo,
 We are here but few days. We cling passionately to love, which seems to be the one infinite factor in human 1 life.

In thinking over our duties very few of us include happiness. It is up to all of us to count our joys instead of our trials, to lay the foundation for smile rather than for anxiety
 Our daily moods affect those around us. and it Is our duty to study to make our atmosphere attractive and enjoyable, Who on earth likes to as- soeiate with a vinegary temperament
 or heart paining tongue. The smile of nature is represented in the flowers of the field, and the smile of man makes life as sweet, The finest hu- man being is the one who secretes his own trials and has aid and sympathy for those even less unfortunate than he. We like to sing: 'fWe'il know each other better by and by," but it is more to our credit to know each other better here, and to be of ser- vice to those who need assistance. If there were not a lot of people engaged in spreading sunshine life would not be nearly as enjoyable as it Is. It is goodness makes the face radiant.
