What the Other Fellows Say.

These mortals are giving God heavy burden to carry on account of the war. Now the Kaiser adds to the burden by placing upon God the responsibility for the latest disaster to the unoffending Belgians, the fall of Antwerp. The Kaiser shows surprising modesty. He should claim at least share of the honor for himself. f.-Hartford Courant.
 We would like to hear one good reason us to why Hartford should not cut the ice from it's reservoirs and sell it to the people of the city. If Hart ford can sell water it should be able to sell the frozen form of the same sub stance. And if it can conduct the water business at profit there is no reason to suppose that the ice business would not be run equally as well. ll.-Hartford Post. s.E.r,
 1t is said that the Germans had plan ned to seize President Poincaire and a number of Parisian bankers and hold them for ransom but we hear that their plans toward this end have been in- definitely postponed. -Meriden Jour nal
 Spiingield ought to be proud of the industry of its police force. One of the new members started to arrest the chief yesterday for being pickpocket .-Pittsfeld Eagle.
 No announcement of the opening of an eastern university is complete these days if there isn't some mention of the prospects of the football eleven. New Haven Union.
 The job has been done. The wonder ful baseball machine so cunningly de- vised by Connie Mack has been broken into thousand bits. Youth has done the trick and age has been sent to the fireside to think it all over-New Haven Journal Courier.
 Decent motorists are one with the rest of the residential population on this point for speed maniacs are as dam gerous to them as they are to pedes- trians and owners of horse-drawn vehi- cles. es.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 The decision to place the bulk of the war revenue tax on beer and alcoholic drinks is a sensible one. That's the ideal place for tax. The stuff itself imposes fearful tax on humanity and civilization. It causes greater expense than war itself. If it can be made to return to the public treasury even slight part of that which it substracts it should by all means be done. Bristol Press.
 The Kaiser is reported to be travelling from one front to another, keeping a general supervision over several armies at once. This beats even our own Teddy. y.-Torrington Register.

Let's keep the windows of the soul
 Ever open toward the light, That the essence of the highest things

DIARY OF FATHER TIME

Now that the cold weather is here,
and gloves are coming into use, the
ancient use of hand coverings is re-
called. The ancients were not strange
to the use of gloves but they were
not commonly worn In the hot coun-
tries the wearing of gloves was con-
sidered a sign of effeminacy. The
early use of gloves was more general
in Northern than in Southern coun-
tries.
The use of gloves solely peeved the
Roman philosophers, one of whom l
remember declared that it was
shameful that perfectly healthy peo-
pie should clothe their hands and feet
with soft and heavy coverings. They
believed that olives picked by the
naked hand were far better than
those gathered with gloved hands.
There was a famous glutton in those
days who always wore gloves to the
table so that he could handle and eat
the meat while hot and thus get
away with more than the rest of the
company.
Gloves, besides their original de-
sign for a covering of the hands, were
used on great and solemn occasions,
as in the conveying of lands or con-
ferring of investitures. They were
taken from culprits, as were their
Spurs, as mark of degradation.
