When Some One Cares.

When you meet some disappointment, am yer feelin' kind-o-blue; When yer plans have all got sidetracked, CT some friend has proved untrue; When yer toiling, praying, struggling at the bottom uv the stairs It is like a panacea-jest to know [ that some one cares. Some one who can appreciate one's efforts when he tries; Some one who seems to understand am so can sympathize; Some one who, when he's far away, still wonders how he fares Some one who never can forget some one who really cares. It will send thrill of rapture through the framework uv the heart; It will stir the inner bein' till the tear drops want to start; Fer this life is worth the Twin, when some one yer sorrows shares Life is truly worth livin', when you know that some one cares. Oh, this world is not all sunshine many days dark clouds disclose; There's a cross for ev'ry joy bell, an thorn for ev'ry rose; But the cross is not so grievous, ner the thorn the rosebud wears Am the clouds have silver linin'- when some one really cares.

The Better Wit.

To speak unkindly isn't wit, To say things that wound the heart Is never clever-not bit, Though at the time you think il
 smart, Far better is it to remain
 As silent as a marble bust Than speak anG leave a track of pain Behind smiling, bitter thrust. The poisoned barb within a jest That leaves fellow being hurt Is not of cleverness the test, Nor of brain that is alert. To gibe at age or private scars. Or sacred griefs proclaims the cad And he who does it sadly mars The laughter that should leave us
 glad. Unkindness isn't wit at all, There's little humor in a sheer. One cannot drench his speech ill gall And seek to laugh away the tear, And he who poisons thus the gay Is just as cowardly as he Who kicks a cripple's crutch away And laughs his helplessness to see.

THURSDAY. OCTOBER 2s. 1914
Disappointment should always be taken as stimulant, and never viewed as Encouragement. 70. B. Newcomb.
THE OUTLOOK.

The political campaign is drawing toward it's latter and bitter end, and as is usual in the closing days of political camps igns, the prophecies of the prophets are somewhat at variance. Expert statisticians give figures to show that Senator Brandegee will be return cd to the United States Senate by a safe plurality over Baldwin, democrat, and Smith, progressive; while statisti- clans equally expert, experience not the slightest difficulty in proving by fig ures, thai Governor Baldwin will be triumphantly elected to succeed Brandegee. Figures were never known to lie, but they are sometimes jolly jokers.
 The same expert mathematical analysis applies to the prospects of the candidates for Governor, and the state tickets. Victory is in sight. for both. The puzzling factor is the probable size of the progressive vote. Estimates of the strength of Professor Fisher, pro- gressive candidate for Governor, vary from 10000 to 70,0O0, and it is con- Ceded that the extent of the progress sives drain on the republican forces, which may be offset by their recruits from the ranks of organized labor among the democrats, will figure largely in the chances of both the old parties.
 Of the congressional candidates, the democrats appear confident of re-elect- ing every one of the present incum- bents. The republicans concede the re-. election of not more than three, or possibly only two, and 8 consequent gain of either two or three republicans. They claim to clearly foresee the cleo tion of Hill in the Fourth, and Glynn in the Fifth, with good chance for Freeman in the Second. This would mean the defeat of Donovan, Kennedy and Mahan, the present incumbents in those respective districts. -
 Locally, the situation appears debat- able. Whitford, of Canaan, progressive and democratic candidate for senator from the 31st district, has formidable competitor in s. Landon Alvord, repub- lican, of Winsted, who is very strong in the east end of the district, but not so we'll known in this section, and the outcome is considered betting propo- sition.
 The representative contest, between ! George w. Ford, republican, and John H. Graves, democrat and progressive, is perhaps the most absorbing political problem hereabouts. Both candidates are making an active personal cam paign, with the result that each pro- fesses confidence in the outcome. The democrats claim the election of Graves with majority of from 30 to 90, while Ford's estimate varies, with the daily developments, from dozen to 50, and conservative onlookers predict close vote and from the standpoint of today, ssanybody's battle"
 But the truth will be known next Tuesday night, and probably not be- fore.

The Wurra Wurra Club

1t was one of those thick nights-see what we mean ?-a night bedimmed with haze and fog. Whats the differ ence? you ask. We might reply that haze is haze, and fog is fog and none could gainsay the explanation. But we go step farther. Haze is the direct antipathy of fog, from the fact that haze is evolved from the intensity of the atmosphere, while fog settles-or rises; we do not at this writing recall which. Fog, hanging over the water, is what is known as amphibious; that is, having peroxide of hydrogen in its composition; and the term, compost tion, sometimes called essay, such us a description of beautiful flowers, or home life, for reading at graduation exercises, to which many friends are invited and sometimes give prd$ents, or gifts, while others get nothing At all, though they may know more about geography and spelling, which is really superior. if not just as good. But MT. Strayer, the president, evidently was unmoved by it, as he proceeded to open the meeting by calling on Mir. James Keenan to read the minutes of the other meeting. After that duty had been performed MT. Nathan Wellner sang the Opening Ode, in cutaway voice with ahem in the neck, accom- panied by Sam Camp on his vacation. The chair then ordered anybody at all to make motion or something.
 Ex-Mayor Rowe got up and said he would like to read a resolution he had prepared, denouncing the use of dum- dunn bullets in the European war, but George w. Ford objected, and declared that he was more interested in de- nouncing the dum-dum ballots which he understood were being prepared for use on election day. The chair cut the matter short by declaring both gentlemen out of order, and that closed the incident.
 MT. Ford then said he would rise to question of personal privilege. The chair told him to fire away, and he sailed in. Said he: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen; as you all know, I have been on the bench now a great many years, and by virtue of my posi- tion as judge of the local court, I should perhaps deem it unbecoming my judi cial dignity to pay any attention to the inipertinent challenges of my editorial opponent in the campaign. But on mature consideration have come to the conclusion that it is my duty to call his bluff and show him up. Therefore, being the challenged party and thus having the choice of weapons, as you might say, l accept the leap-frog test, and will meet him, at that game, on the public park in front of the Hotel Canfield, at l2 o'clock on the night be- fore election. and if can't jump over him more times in minute than he can climb over me, will withdraw in his favor as candidate for justice of the peace. !"
 The chair said he was unable to find in his Cushing's Manual, any rule to guide him in acting on MT. Ford's proposition, and he didn't know whether to refer the whole matter to the committee on the Judiciary or the committee on Athletics. MT. Ford offered to enlighten him by reading a chapter from the Statutes, but the chair said hes would split the difference by stabling the matter until after election.

To attempt to describe the 150th an. niversary edition of the Hartford Cour- ant would be like reviewing a set of books. It was comprehensive history, bigraphy compendium of reminiscence, story book, newspaper, guide, philoso- pher and friend.
