Letters From the People
A Good Memory.

To the Editor of The News:
 Something like a year ago l sent a letter to The News headed ''Twin Lakes History" I see, ill the last issue of The News, an article taken from Dr. Maltbie's paper 56 years ago, about finding Tom. CJstello's body ill the big lake. :. was ono of the three fishermen that found the corpse in the lake. I see I male q mistake in the natno of John instead O. Thomas Costello. I clearly remember most of the men on the jury-Spurr, Dauchy, Tripp and Sparks, were farmers; ". Williams was a tailor; H. Terrington, store keeper, if I am not mistaken. I went to the same school as Norman Spurr's boy, Albert, and girls, Nettie and Jennie, and W. Williams's boy, Albert and sister went to the same school, and it was Albert Williams who captured my pets, the golden-headed eagles. Emma Williams was a fine girl. She had a very sweet voice and she captured a millionaire by her sing ing, and married him. I write this to convince your readers that l have a retentive memory. I recollect MT. Spurs big horse churn. It was 56 years ago, so was 10 years old when we found Costello.

What Speed Means.

Since so large a majority of the people now ride (and speed) ill automo- piles, hint to them of danger that but few people realize, may be of interest.
 The following computation is de- signed to compare the speed of an auto mobile Cor other vehicle), as seen by the speedometer registering ''miles per hour'' with the velocity of falling body passing through space at exactly the same rate of speed.
 From the following table it may be seen that rate of 40 miles per hour (for example) is exactly the same velo- city that falling body attains from a height of 53. 7S feet, under the law of gravity.
 In other words, direct impact in wreck at speed of 40 miles per hour, is the same as one would sustain by falling 53.78 feet. A striking impress sion may be afforded any person, by standing on the top of a battlement 54 feet high, and contemplating jumping off; and yet, his impact at 40 miles per hour would be the same.
 The danger increases as the square of the number of miles per hour. Sixty miles per hour Common boast of "joy riders'') would be equivalent to fall of I2l feet.

What the Other Fellows Say.


 The real test of the popularity of Gov. Baldwin, if he should triumph over the Mahan-Landers alliance, will come when he seeks an election as senator by popular vote.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 Colonel Roosevelt was making trouble for himself-before the impeachment and removable publicly took William Sulzer to his embrace. Now he'd be very pleased to "lose' William, and it's much easier said than done.-Hartford COurant.

 There is one man who can control the President of the United States and his name is Tumulty. When the Presi- dent went over to the office, MT.

WHY BALD ?

Gabrielle ID 'Annunzio, champion
 bald-headed man of Europe, says
 he lost his hair this way: "At
 eighteen I received a cut on the
 head in duel and by confusion
 of bottles the doctor poured lot of
 cornkiller on my head. Very soon
 all the hair fell out"
 The humorous paragrapher of the Bridgeport Standard, Lou Reilly, quotes the above and asks pointed questions concerning the duels fought by certain members of the Bald-Head Club of America, and the doctors who poured cornkiller on their heads. The proba- bility, is Gabrielle D'Annunzio is romancing, according to his bread winning custom. The "moral" of his story would be, that cornkiller kills things-inferentially, that it kills corns. Everybody who has a corn knows better. .Cornkiller may kill the hair, and it may be death to potato bugs and rats. But the cornkiller that will kill 8 corn has not yet been concocted. AS for the genesis of the bald-heads' baldness-Secretary Pope Chapman his hair off with towel when he was boy. "Pa" Corbin acquired his polish at Yale by keeping his brain so active that it got over-heated and scorched the roots of his hair. President Rob. Orr froze his hair off by to wear a night-cap on his first trip to Canada. Col. w. H. Hall rubbed his hair off with the palms of his hands while sleeping through. Frank Healy's speeches, in the House. There's really no end of the causes that contribute to the shine on the glisten- ing domes-but cornkiller is not one of them.

Futile Sacrifice.

"I heard a cynic talking on the futility of self-sacrifice the other night" said New York lawyer "I didn't agree with his conclusions, but his theme recalled an incident in my youth that was certainly q case in point on his side.
 When l was youngster the dog faced boy was in his prime. We lived in the country seat of county mp state. My own sister-always my great pot and were intensely excited when we heard that the lad with the canine countenance was to come to our town.
 "We had saved up all our pennies and when the boy arrived we had 25. We figured the admission would be 10 cents and we would have a nickel over or candy-for what's seeing dog faced boy without candy to chew while staring?
 "Well, the boy arrived and we went down to the tent where he was being displayed. To our horror the admis- sion was 25 cents. We puzzled long but the tragic coinclusion was always the same-only one of us could 20 in. pos nAbh hShiSA hhS1AHs hl6W AbAblt the % pennies and in a voice husky with the emotion of disappointment I said: Here, Dot you go in.

KILL THE BUGI

For Congress, Fifth District George Inquirer?
 Unless the political writer of the Bridgeport Herald is misinformed, or misinforming, the distinguished bald headed journalist of the shire town is a prospective candidate for such nomi- nation. We hope this isn't SO. But, if such bug is buzzing ill the editorial bonnet, we trust the. editor will shake 1t out and stamp it with the heel of his disapproval.
 Enough newspaper men, in Connecti- cut, have already deserted the ranks, to gorge themselves on political pluns. New Haven's postmaster, Waterbury s mayor, ,Bridgeport's next collector of the port, Connecticut's collector of internal revenue, Hartford's mayoral secretar y, the Third congressional districts repre- Sentatlye-all were newspaper fellows and the withdrawal of each left hole in the craft.
 Don't do it, Georgel Don't be Con- gressman! %
 To say nothing of the uncertainty of ~getting there," the wear and tear of the preliminaries, the rude jolts that lie in wait along the candidate s rosy path, seeking whom they may devour somebody, and the dull, sicking thud that proclaims the final smash when Ehe supreme moment arrives-these are something to fight shy of.
 We know whereof we speak. Two short years ago, as all the world will remember, the editor of this wholesome family journal had the political bug had it bad. He hasn't got it now, thank heaven-amen! Recognizing the crying need of political purifcation in certain quarters of this neck of the woods, and foolishly conceiving that he had an inspired "mission'' to lead a victorious, personally conducted reform movement, he organized himself into single-handed Purity League, (some- thing like the one that is holding Jerry Donovan in a state of spell binding nOn- plus down in Bridgeport,) and throw ing his hat into the ring, frankly pro- claimed himself a quadruple candidate for, four separate and distinct offices in bunch-representativ first selectman, justice of the peace and town clerk taking his stand at Armag eddon with his Joins girt and his armor securely laced up, snorting like war horse eager for the fray.
 The announcement of the quadruple candidacy 'took" like wildfire. It swept over the state like the bosom of destruction. It seemed as if nothing could stop it. The press endorsed it

A Popular Letter.

Someone has advanced the opinion that the letter "e'' is the most unfort- unate letter in the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, for ever in debt, never out of danger and in hell all the time. For some reason, he overlooked the fortunates of the letter, as we call his attention to the fact "e'' is never in war and always in peace. It is the beginning of existence, the commencement of ease and the end of trouble. Without it there would be no meat no life and no heaven. It is the center of honesty, makes love perfect and without it there would be no editor, devils nor news.-Fourth Estate.

Don't be a Ouitter.

We can't always find the ways That lead to waiting treasures; There must sometimes be dismal days That are devoid of pleasures; The wind that blows SO swiftly now Tomorrow may be bitter; The storms will come, but, anyhow, Don't be quittcr. We cannot always do the things We wish we might be doing; We may not be all dukes and kings, Some men must do the hewing; Some men must blow and some must
 SOW,
 While some in jewels glitter. But, if your place is high or low, Don't be quitter. Some men may live in idleness T On fortunes they inherit, And some men never may possess The sweet rewards of merit; Some men may ride in lordly state, While others bear the litter; But, rich or poor, or small or great Don't be a quitter. You cannot win by sitting in Your corner, signing gravely; Infate your chest, thrust out your chin, And do your duty bravely; You may have cause to be in doubt, Your hardships may be bitter, But never let the world find out Don't be a quitter
