wv lines he must surely have had the spring
season of 1914 in mind In nature colors
have always been very prominent, in the

but it has remained for Dame Fashion to out-do ma

that will adoru fair women as soon as the first fine

The red and gold tints take first rank, including

beauty. Mahogany is redish brown and Turco

The blue tnts come next in importance, but the
only name that has tropical sound is Colibri,
greensh blue on the peacock order and is the name
of small South American bird of that color.
Labrador and Copenhagen and Zuyder. Zee are
names that suggest the deep blue waters and skies

Huerta will salute; but how? khat Is tho answer to the trip
 bf the battleships to Mexico. hnd if he does the Ameri- tan guns will answer, and thus will end what was thought might develop nto a brush with the Mexicans. What buickly is said to have been advice from some of the foreign powers, but beople generally will be inclined to think that it was due more to what might happen at Vera Cruz and |rampico when the American vessels feached there. A nice point, however, lyil be whether in the American ves- sels answering the Huerta guns will hot be sofne sort of a recognition bf Huerta himself It is said in Wash kngton that it will not, and others say That the navy commander agreed to answer the Mexican salute in the hrst place. but that Huerta would not bgree to it.
 The great trouble seems to have been. very easily settled. There is no
 to make war on Mexico, although there are always some hot
 heads who appear to have a chip on

COxEY ON HIS WAY.

It is in the spring that a young mans thoughts turn mushy, but to the older boys the season is supposed to bring a little sense so that 1t is impossible to think of the march of General coxey and his army from Ohio to Washington without a feeling of humor. The general is an old man as far as years are considered, and he has some money, so that to see him seated in an old fashioned phae- ton drawn by an ancient mule, with his wife by his side and a son ahead riding donkey one may we'll inquire whether the old man has not reached that stage when people begin to talk funny. The army consists of sixty soldiers, but Coxey says that it will be increased to 10000 by the time he reaches Washington. The first days march was eight miles and yet the general says he is satisfied. The army sought food at the houses along the line and slept in a brickyard at the end of the first day. The army will be recruited along the road and the general will receive the new corners any time.
 There are some who will recall the delegation from Bristol back ip 1894 which passed through here on it's way to join Coxey, who then had another army on the way to Washington and who was arrested for. tramping around on the grass when he reached there. The Bristol division reached here in the afternoon. It consisted of five men and two dogs, and as it swung into Main street it headed for the old band stand with Joseph R.
 Johnson, then chief of police, bring irg up in the rear The order to
 halt was given at the band stand and the division came to a full stop. The first lieutenant started to make a speech and the chief interfered lest the oration cause a riot There was much discontent in the crowd because all wanted to hear an address, and the army was given a great cheer when it resumed it's march down Main street. Such movements are any good and simply result in draw ing unfortunate people through the country, ending up with sore feet arid a well developed grouch. 1=

Tale of Chicago and Boston.
Chicago Record-Herald.) )

Jonah, Martin B., came to Chicago yesterday. Two Pinkerton detectives played the role of the whale.
 This is the revised story of Jonah as writ in the, Book of Policeians.
 It came to pass that there was in the wicked city, which is Chicago, one Martin B. Jonah. In Jonah's pockets, of shekels there was none. k One. day Jonah betook himself into the Park of Lincoln, which is by the waters of the Lake of Michigan. Gen. .tlemen and ladies of high station passed by and saw him not. They passed him afoot and in the carriages which are horseless. ,, >. ere..~
 Jonah looked upon the, wealth which was not his. Then he saith with disgust: ''Verily am I boob. Superabundant shekels have they who pass, me by, while I, accursed one, am bereft of all things. Why is this thus? Am I my brothers keeper who can not keep myself? Verify the Lord helpeth those who help themselves"
 Then up spake conscience: ''The way of the transgressor is paved with rocks. Go thou, brother, and turn thy hand to honest work" ...
 Then up rose Jonah and smote con- science. Shaking his legs, he be- took himself straightway to the Mid City Trust and Savings Bank, which is by the parting of the ways of Madi- son and Halsted streets.
 To the chief counter of shekels he spoke after this manner: T have here a check for $730. Please cash it.'' J...,..
 And To, it was done And it came to pass that a few days later the man whose name was writ upon the check became exceeding wrathful. He be- got an idea. Forthwith he took it to the tribe of Pinkertons.
 Much hunting was made for Jonah. At last he was discovered in the City of Boston, which, the prophets saith, is in a foreign land and rests upon hill made of the writings of one Ralph Waldo Emerson.
 Thence Jonah was returned to Chicago, which is by the lake. And when the prison with its bars had closed upon him he repented of his wickedness and saith: wherefore, oh wherefore, did I smite conscience when it whispered?"
 Jonah was bound over to the grand jury. Verify the way of the trans gressor is hard!

NEW TRIAL FOR MRS. WAKE-

The action of the supreme court in field, who had been sentenced to death for complicity in the murder of her husband, can hardly be con- stdered a surprise. There was a feel ing that she would not be executed, and g. new trial is the first step in saving her from the gallows. Her paramour has already paid for his participation in the crime with his life, and he said that she was not to blame. She may be put to trial again or she may plead guilty to a lesser degree of crime that she had been convicted of and go to prison for short term, but there is no likelihood of her ever being convicted again of murder in the first degree. The sen- timent of the state is too strongly against 1t and there has been so much publicity given to this feature of the case that it is bound to have an eff feet in the event of new trial. She Is an ignorant, friendless woman, and were 1t not for the sentiment created for her because she Is woman she would have been hanged the same day as her paramour.
 The feeling against capital punish ment is constantly increasing; even the warden of Sing Sing prison said the other day after the gunmen had been put to death that he hoped that would be the last electrocution in that institution. This taking of human life Is a brutalzing affair, and bad as 1t is for man, 1t is more revolting in the case of woman. Bessie Wake field has been in the death house at Wethersf1eld for several weeks, and 1t is reasonable to assume that the warden of the prison. as well as the unfortunate woman herself, was glad to hear the news from the supreme court. What is to be done with her Is the next interesting point to be de- cided.

 ision for the setting out of seventy i've shade trees The work was de- ayed by reason of the building of g. ewer, but the importance of tree .Ianting was realized from that time bn.

 Now that the city has seen fit to
 prohibit roller skating by children on the city sidewalks, it is up to the municipality to provide skating places in the parks and the playgrounds.
 While it is annoying to the public generally to have children skating on sidewalks, particularly in the buster sections of the city, most people have refrained from complaining, because they recognized the fact that the ex- ercise is beneficial, and not as danger
 ous as many other childish pastimes and sports.-Waterbury Republican. Hartford can have her voting ma-
 chines but Rockville will continue to
 be old fashioned and stick to the pa per ballot. It has it's faults, but with all it's faults we love it still. It is
 superior to this new fangled method
 of voting. There has been more or
 less agitation here for the introduce
 tion of the voting machine. In the face of Hartford's experience in it's l recent municipal election, we rather think this agitation will now cease. Voting machines may be prompt, but what is promptness to accuracy? :?

 The theater is thousands of years old, but the drama didn't amount to much for centuries, and never had it's due weight, until women were ad-
 mitted to participation. The early stage was masculine. When they needed a woman, they put woman's clothing on a man, and he did his
 part in falsetto. The Chinese do
 that today. The Chinese think the feminine voice the more beautiful, but they have men initiate the voice of woman, and the result is not beau~ tiful at all. The history of woman and the stage is the history of wom- an, and many other things. There e~~ many who believe that an all masculine state is as defective as q.
 drama acted by men only. Bridge port people are fortunate in living in a time when the talents of both
 sexes are contributed to the stage. Think of movies without heroines. Bridgeport Farmer.
