KIN DLING BONFIRES.

Now that the cleanup and burn-up season IS opening, It may be well to again remind a forgetful public of the law relating to the setting of fires with m certain limits. The paragraph of the Statutes bearing upon the matter, which ls of interest to the town dwellers, is contained in Section 3. Chapter 124, of the Acts of 1911. which as there amend. cd, reads as follows:
 Every person, except us hereinafter provided, who shall kindle or authorize another to kindie a fire in the open air outside the limits of any city, borough or fire district, or land controlled by any railroad company, for the purpose of burning bushes. weeds, grass or rubbish Of any kind, between the fifteenth day of March and the first day of June, and the fifteenth day of September and the fifteenth day of November in any year, without first obtaining from the fire warden of the district written permis- saon stating when and where such fire may be kindled. shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars, or imprisoned nOS more than six months, or both provided, that such permission shall not be required for the kindling of fire in p1Oughed field, garden or public high. way, at a distance of not less than two hundred feet from any woodland, brush land, or field containing dry grass or other lnfammable material"
 From the above it will be seen that persons residing within the limits of the Fire District may kindle bonfires with. ous obtaining permission from the fire warden but those outside the Fire District who kind1e fires without such permission, will find themselves in dan. ger of being arrested and fined up to 800 or going to jail for six months, or bosh. It's well to know these things, and wise to reflect upon them.

CAPTAIN AN DREWS.

Of Captain Roland Andrews. the former Winsted boy who has become the assistant managing editor of the Hartford Times-which means that, next to the proprietor, MT. Burr. he is the man highest in authority In the edi torial department-the Wat bury American says:
 That he is now assistant managing editor of 8 paper that ill circulation stands first and reputation second to none among Connecticut newspapers.

"One hears less profanity these days than was the rule quarter of century ago." says the Woodbury Reporter, "but every community today has examples ot a few men who are so utterly lost to all sense of deceucy and manhood as to give the passion for vulgar and profane Ian. guage free license, and seemingly it makes no difference to this class of men if women or children are within hearing of the sewage that flows out of their foul mouths"

The Kings Ring.

Once in Persia reigned a King Who upon his signet ring Graved maxim true and wise Which, If held before his eyes, Gave him counsel at a glance Fit for every change and chance Solemn words; and these are they: "Even this shall pass away" Trains of camels through the sand Brought him gems from Samarcand; Fleets of galleys through the sees Brought him pearls to match with these But he counted not his gain Treasures of the mine or main, What is wealth." the king would say; "Even this shall pass away" In the revels of his court At the zenith of the sport, When the palms of all his guests Burned with clapping at his iests, He, amid his figs and wine, Cried: 70 loving friends of minel Pleasures come, cut not to stay, Even this shall pass away" Fighting on a furious field, Once a javelin pierced his shield, Soldiers, with loud lament, Bore him bleeding to his tent. Grooming with his tortured side, "Pain is hard to bear" he cried; "But with patience day by day, Even this shall pass away" Towering in the public square, Twenty cubits in the air, Rose his statute, carved in stone. Then the King, disguised, unknown, Gazing at his sculptured name. Asked himself: "What is fames Fame is but slow decay, Even this shall pass away" Struck with palsy, sere and old, Waiting at the gates of gold, Spake he with his dying breath; Life is done, but, what is deathr Then, In answer to the King Fell a sunbeam on his ring. Showing by heavenly ray: >. "Even this shall pass away"
