THE SIDEWALKS.

This suggestion, in the New Haven Union, is timely, and applies equally well in Canaan, where the gutter prop osition receives mighty little attention
 .'There will come a thaw in this beautiful city of ours one of these days and then the clogged up gutters will be one of the aids to filling your cellar and the streets with that overflow that should find it's way uninterruptedly to the catch basin and thence away to the harbor. They you may have to step high to avoid the rushing waters. But 8 little thought into gutter excavation while you are doing the civilized side- walk cleaning"
 And speaking of civilized sidewalk cleaning" it is gratifying to note that we are gradually approaching the civil ized point in the matter of sidewalk cleaning, though as community we are still considerable distance from what might be termed the highest civil ization in that respect. Main street, West Main and Granite avenue are plainly the leaders in this particuls r move toward the higher civilization, though in some separated and individual cases on other thoroughfares the snow shovel earns it's keeping.
 But too many house-holders are apt to leave their sidewalks just as the public snow blow leaves them after single, or possibly round trip-rough, crooked, half-done, and generally filled up again by the next snow fall or lost entirely in the drifts that come with the first wind. As a path finder, to mark out the line . for the shovelers, the snow-plow does satisfactory work, but as a path maker, to accommodate the pedestrian, it's work is of little consequence unless the shovel follows it up.
 There are long stretches of much-used walk, and short stretches as well, where the musical scraping of the snow shovel is never heard at all, and single ride of the snow blow man IS the only atten- tion they receive, from the beginning of winter to the end thereof.
 It has been said that the appearance of the front of residence is an indication of the character of the occupants. This may not hold good, as general proposi- tion, for some mighty fine people live behind ill-kept and never-swept side walks. The unshoveled walk may be accepted rather as an evidence, if not of laziness, then possibly of heedlessness and inconsiderateness of the convenience and comfort of others.
 But we are undoubtedly improving. ill this regard, though the improvement is by a very slow process, and we may reach the time when every householder will see to it that his walks are kept open to navigation, regardless of the snow- blow, which cannot be expected to do much more than mark out the line for the shoveler to follow.

The Bridgeport Standard is already agitating for sane Fourth. It says:
 There is no subject worthier of discus slon ill Bridgeport's many women's clubs than how a rational and entertaining celebration of the Fourth-the greatest day of all the year for Young America can be obtained. Some cities provide pageants. athletic contests, band con- certs and fireworks, to which all are welcome. Such program in Bridge port ought to prove entertaining to everyone, and could be so planned as to give wholesome lesson 1n American history and patriotism to the persons of foreign birth who now form so large a part of our population.

The New Milford Times, a new ven' ture in the journalistic field at New, Mil ford made It's initial appearance last Thursday. It. is a promising looking sheet, of which Charles N.

That "horseless age" so often talked about as very near and sure, fades back into the distance when the statistics of farm animals in the United States are given little consideration. The facts presented by the latest reports of the De- partment of Agriculture do not point in that direction. It seems that in 1913 the number of horses in this country in- creased by about 395,ooo. Their aggre- gate value rose more than $13,4oo, ,ooo.- Torrington Register.

"One good term deserves another, |" was the sentiment at the annual Fire District meeting, where Mayor J. Clin- ton Roraback was re elected Mayor for the ensuing year against his expressed wish and contrary to his personal incli- nation. It was aD eloquent endorsement of his administration, which had been a creditable, honest, brilliant. progressive and successful one, without the faintest taint or suspicion of official scandal in any department.

No Place For Boys.

What can boy do. and where can boy
 stay, If he always Is told to get out of the waye He cannot sit here, and he must not
 stand there; The cushions that cover that fine rock.
 ing-chair Were put there, of course, to be seen
 and admired, And boy has no business to ever be tired. The beautiful roses and flowers that
 bloom On the floor of the darkened and delicate Are not made to walk on-at least, not
 by boys; The house is no place, anyway, for their
 noise. Yet boys must walk somewhere; and
 what If their feet, Sent out of our houses, sent into the
 street, Should step round the corner and pause
 at the door Where other boys feet have passed often
 before; Should pass through the gateway of
 glittering light, Where jokes that are merry and songs
 that are bright Ring out warm welcome with fiatter-
 ing voice. And temptingly say, "Here's place for
 the boys3" And what if they shouldP What if your
 boy or mine Should cross OCT the threshold that
 marks out the line 'Twxt virtue and vice, 'twixt pureness
 and sin, And leave all his innocent boyhood
 within? Oh, what if they should, because you
 and |, While the days and the months and the
 years hurry by, Are too busy with cares and with life's
 festing joys To make round our hearthstones place
 for the boyss There's place for the boys. They will
 find 1t somewhere; And If our own homes are to daintily fair For the touch of their fingers, the tread
 of their feet, They'll find it, and find 1t, alas! In the
 street; Mid the gildings of sin and the glitter
 of vice; And with heartaches and longings we
 pay a dear price For getting of our gain that our life time
 employs, If we fail in providing q place for our
 boys.
