A man who was a regular patron of
q certain restaurant said to the waiter:
Rudolph, instead of tipping you
every day I'm going to give you your
tip in a lump sum next Christmas.
Thank you, sir answered Rudolph,

something in advance, SIR"

TARIFF DISCUSSION.

How soon the Underwood Wilson tariff bill will go into effect depends upon the amount of discussion that it provokes in congress. The democrats in caucus have agreed to it's provisions and they have a large majority in the house It is measure which af- fleets all sections of the country It is legislation which means a change in the economic conditions which if it becomes effective means a readiust- Tnent of industrial conditions from which all sections will experience their respective disadvantages Until it is determined just what its final pro- visions are business is placed in an uncertain position. It is not in a posi- ton to plan for the future and for that reason the giving of the closest and best attention to making the revision is demanded.
 It should not, however. he hustled through without proper consideration. There is too much involved to take the chance of hit or miss tariff bill. There are many provisions which if they are adopted as they now exist will be fine putting into effect of q menace to the industries of the cOJn- try. which is now apparent and an absolute reversal of conditions which have brought prosperity. There should be 8 full and free discussion of the schedules that all may be en- frightened upon the actual conditions before enactment instead of finding them out after it has become a law The need of speedy action should not overcome the necessity of honest con

WHEN NORWICH PEOPLE
Publicly Testify, It's Evidence Not to
 Be Ignored.

When residents of Norwich are will ing to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills in this paper. is there any good reason to try a kidney backache or bladder remedy that is not as well recommended?
 Mrs. Oscar Bjork, 3531a West Main Street, Norwich, Conn, says: T re- ceived good results from Doan's Kid ney Pills and therefore. do not hesi- tate to recommend them. For some time I was bothered by backache and was often so lame that I could hardly move. My mother told me that my kidneys were at fault, and when heard of Doan's Kidney Pills I pro- cured a box at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store. They proved to be the remedy I required and in a short time removed every symptom of my trou- ble
 The above statement was given August 26. 1908, and several years later Mrs. Bjork said: T willingly confirm my former statement in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. I have no kidney trouble since this remedy cured me"

REPUBLICAN REORGANIZATION.

A movement which is calculated to gain in force and strength from the very start is that for the reorganiza- ton of the republican party along the lines which have been sought for some time by prominent leaders. In the plan to carry 1t from one end of the coun- try to the other Boston has been well selected for the sounding of the key note and with ex-Governor Hadley of Missouri and Nicholas Murray Butler of New York assigned to that task. two who have labored within the organiza- ton for important changes and espe- cially those leading to a change of representation in national convention, have been well selected to set forth the lines in which the party of pro gress and prosperity will move. It means the moving forward of the par Ty organization in accordance with it's history of achievement.
 The need of a change in the rep resentation in national convention has long been recognized and the idea of assembling a special convention for the consideration of this and other reforms at a time when it will not re- fleet upon a candidate of the party is calculated to bring about the best re- suits The merits of the proposed re- forms can be discussed and consid- cred at 9 convention of delegates se- lected for such definite purpose and this fall will witness a convention for the adoption of new rules. which will be in force for the next presidentfal election Such should bring about the reunion of the factions for effective work under the realization that suc- cess lies in allegiance to the true party of progress.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Life is a Sonata.

Life is a sonata; it is composed of a few themes upon which there are as many variations as we can play.
 About all we can do. when we grow up, is to reproduce. in better and more masterly ways, the themes that occu- pied our youth.
 All there is to life is contained in it's first twenty years. The rest is the same modified, enlarged, adorned.
 Diderot said of NoItaire: For twenty years he has been reprinting. Still, 1 confess that in his workshop he has a vast number of characters"

FRON LUCILE'S DIARY

| ding silver is perfectly beautiful, and 1 it will add such elegance to the table
 'But it all needs cleaning she ob- 1 jected.''
 oh, Molly can do that here be-
 tween times.'' I said with my usual i quickness in finding a way out of dihi ] culties.
 When Betty and her maid arrived all arranged. for I really have a great : deal of executive ability. In a very few minutes we had the dinner well under way. 1 asked Betty to make that famous gateau St Honore tha she learned at cooking school and had Molly go right to work prepar- ing the sauabs while I searched my quotation book for appropriate lines to write on the dinner cards.
 Late in the afternoon, after every thing that could be fixed in advance was ready and Betty was putting on her things to go home I suddenly had a bright idea.
 By the way, Betty" I said. have you your pearl necklace with you to- day? I know you often carry your jewels in a safety pocket. I should for tonight, as it would be the ex- quisite finishing touch to my mer- maidish green crepe frocl-'
 But, Lucille, I intended to wear. it myself" said Betty. It is strange that people always make objections tThe necklace being Bob's wedding gift, I fear he would be vexed if I lent it even to you.
 But. Betty. he needn't know it, explained
 Not know it! He would recognize my pearls at once
 But. Betty, dear. he wouldn't see them
 Betty looked so startled that I was obliged to explain hastily. I'm so sorry. dear I said, but I fear you misunderstood about my little dinner. You see, I didn't expect you and Un- cle Bob to come tonight. as I'm not having any married people at all Even grandmother will not come down.
 "Indeed!' she said friendly
 Though l immedia tely told her that mother was planning a delightful family dinner for some Sunday soon, she went away wearing an injured expression that was most trying to me. It surely was not my fault that she had assumed that she and Uncle Bob were to be at the dinner. If I had not summoned all my fortitude and forbearance her i'll disguised re- sentiment would have quite spoiled the evenings p1easuree for me. And I think it was so selfish of her not to lend me her pearls.-Chicag News.

E Last Friday father and mother de-
 cided to run out to Uncle Johns for
 the week end and I suddenly thought that there was an excellent opportunity
 for me to give a dinner. As soon as
 they had left for the train I began
 calling up a number of my friends on | the telephone. I was lucky enough l to find nine who were disengaged on Saturday evening.
 When I told Cousin Fannie that had invited some friends to little dinner Saturday evening she said:
 Lucille, l don't see how we can pos sibly have a dinner party here to-
 morrow night It's my turn to give the regular Saturday luncheon to the Junior Dramatic league at the settle ment Your mother intended to go over and help me. but when your father thought of the trip to the coun- try, of course, she couldn't disappoint him. So she told me to take Tilly."
 It seems to me that there is always some obstacle whenever l wish to en- certain my friends" l remarked.
 And can't you possibly get along without I99s Tilly?} l asked; SHI e,.,,,.
 Why not postpone your dinner?" said Cousin Fannie.
 No, indeed" I told her. That would be altogether too awkward af, ter my urging people to come. I'll manage somehow
 Early in the morning I telephoned Betty and asked her if she would like to help me get up a dinner. Your knowledge of dom arts so far eX- ceeds mine." I said merrily. that I really don't feel as if l could give a successful party without your super vision" Then I told her of my mis- fortune in being deprived of Tilly's services during the day. and I asked her if she would bring her Molly over to our house.
 But, Lucile.'' she objected. Bob has asked me to take luncheon with him downtown today and I intended to have Molly wash our library curtains. l can't bear to leave them up un- washed over another Sunday.
 Dear me Betty, you surely would mt sacrifice me to your old lace cur tains, would you?' I protested. When you phone Uncle Bob about the din ner I'm sure he'll postpone the lunch con engagement till next week. You {; see, dear. I'm counting on your kind {! ness not to fail me in this emergency" l
 After l had secured her promise to ! come I suddenly thought to ask her ] to bring her knives and forks and l spoons. It won't be much trouble. l will 1t, dear. to pack basket and | have Molly carry it down here?1 I i asked You know I think your we'd l

HELPING THE MAYNARD.

The benefits which accrue to a state through reformatory institutions are probably never known in their entire ty, but that there is a value overtop- ping any expenditure in the mainten- ance thereof is evidenced by the con tinuance in this line of work. In the state of Georgia a reform school for boys is maintained by the state and the chances which it gives to those who are inclined in the ways of wrong has led the Southern Association of College Women to start a movem ent for such an institution for the way ward girls of the state that they may have the benefit of it's influence
 In it's advocacy of the measure the Atlanta Constitution points out that NTnstitt%ions of this nature are con sidered by most of the other states as a regular part of their psychological equipment. That principle should rule in Georgia. The money the legislature would invest in q reforInatory for girls would be a drop in the bucket by the side of the good Euch an institution would accomplish, And in The Ia analysis. fl Is out of the question To weigh dollars against such mission as the saving or women
 Inasmuch as Georgia has realized the importance of preventing the male youth as first offenders from becon- ing chronic law breakers, or going from bad te verse, it's duty. as it is any states is to make similar provision for the girls that the WeHanfoed of the state shaii be as wei cared fs4' $ the manhood If geed influence is ever seihg te have aHs effect uPe4a I such boys ef girls 1t cannot hs started rAa ca Ff%.

AIr. Editor: I quote the following from the Bulletin of April 17th:
 Washington. ApriI 16.-The demo cratic caucus voted decisiVely late to- day to support the wool schedule ot the Underwood tariff bill, placing raw wool on the free list, after Represen : tatiVe Underwood had made stir ring appeal for the support of the cau- GUS.

The cost to a community of the destruction of the credit of the rail- road or railroads which serve it is almost incalculable. It means that the work of rehabilitation must lag if not entirely cease because of the inability of the railroad to finance it's requirements in the face of such at tacks. But it means more than this. Through the wiping out or reduction of the dividends upon which many have been accustomed for years to depend it means loss which has a widespread effect, not alone upon in dividuals but upon the community in

ELECTRIC LINES.

The value and the importance of the electric railway lines throughout the country and the needs which they are serving. are indicated by the constant development which they are undergo ing. and the opening up of new terri
 tory which follows in their wake. They
 are experiencing. not only the advan- ges of the thickly settled portions of the country. but through their accom-
 modations and quick communication,
 both as to passenger and freight ser vice they are creating a greater inter
 est in the suburban district. The elec-
 tries are an incentive to constant de-
 velopment and expansion and it is noticea bIe fact that along the line of the electric road. in contrast with other outlets into the country is to be found the greatest development.
 Figures as to the operation of 257 electric roads and systems in the United States show that in 1912 their gross earnings were s410.796. 800 This compares with s3S5,502 700 in 1911. the increase amounting to s25.294, 100 or 6.56 per cent. The aggregate net earn ings of the same roads in 1912 were S165.465.500 compared with s152, ,9SS, 400 in the previous wear or a gain of over eight per cent. From 1904 through 1912 there was steady gain in the gross and net revenues of the electric lines
 The electric line offers great advan- tases for the building up of a com munity and the spreading out from cities. Their revenue is constant, but dependent upon the communities which they serve and which they help. The greater the development the better it is for the community and likewise for the electric lines. Every extension means future benefit.
