When the annual inspections of the police and fire departments are being held this year an opportunity may well be given the public to see how they look, to see the men and the apparatus. This was done for a few years, the exhibition attracted much attention and in those days the de- partments were not any more than one-ha1f their present size. The pub- lie exhibition was finally abandoned for some reason, no doubt a good one, and the public was deprived of seeing in full two of the most promi- nent departments in the city. The firemen were wont to perform some of the skillful physical acts required of the f1remen nthe larger cities and visitors came from various places to see the show It was worth look ing at and all admired the men and praised the work they did. When this subject is broached to the aver age person it is surprising how few there are who understand how large these departments have grown. They simply see policeman here and there on the streets, they see a portion of the department at q fire if 1t hap pens in the day time, but that is all and they have no clear idea of the size of the departments as a whole and only slight conception of the services they are capable of perform ing If there were public inspection the full force of the departments could be seen together and the aver age taxpayer would no doubt be pleased at the sight. He would have correct idea of what his money is used for and in practically every case he would be satisfied with the result The commissioners have their own ideas as to the value of public in- spections, but to the average citizen they are interesting and profitable, and those who pay the bills appreci- ate it.

Age with its curious mixture of im-
 pulse and caution, is sometimes quite as headlong as youth in its surrender
 tr, an emotion which is born of lone- Illness and yearning for companion ship rather than a genuine passion. The Japanese, who have no equiva- lent for the English home" describe it in a phrase as "a place for the making of tea in old age" It is this quiet haven the elderly seek in mar riage.
 Under the acid test of disappoint- ment the practical resumes sway. Flouted affection wants its money back. It can even, as in the case of the Philadelphia man, accuse the once-beloved of larceny and seek the courts for redress-and its diamond rings. The incident referred to not only testif1es to the susceptibility of age and the persistence of youth full emotions, but shows also how lightly the marriage tie is regarded these days. That the woman was the wife of another was no obstacle to her venerable wooer. That she permitted and encouraged his love making and his gifts classes her as an adventures, but the willingness of the man to spend his little fortune upon her Is evidence of his sincerity.
 Though we call to mind the saying, There's no fool like an old fool" there is an element of pathos in all such stories, which are numerous in , history and the newspapers. They in- dicate foolishness, lack of moral prin- ciple, but after all are testimony to the eternal thirst of the human being for affection and sympathy.

Love Affairs of the Aged.
(Detroit Free Press.)

(Detroit Free Press.)
 When does frost put out the fire?'' asks E. c. Stedman in one of his graceful lyrics. When is man or woman too old to experience the ten- der passion? The question occurs in connection with the case of the Grand Army veteran of a neighboring village, who, though past the three score and ten Scripture allots as the measure of mans activity, recently took to him. self wife, children and grandchil- dren sanctioning the nuptials by their presence. It takes on d different com plexion in the story of that other Grand Army survivor at Philadelphia, who, at 73, became sufficiently en- amored of a married woman to ar range for her divorce and, expecting to marry her, expended his entire for tune of $1, 900 in gifts. Circumstances make the marriage Of one dlgnlned proceeding, and indicate the other permitted himself to become the prey of an adventures.
 WA admit the "second childhood" of the elderly. but are less credulous in respect to second youth, in which there seems a certain revivifica- tion of youthful passions and impulses. While we are sympathetic toward young love, we are more likely to smile somewhat pityingly, at its symp- toms in the aged, ascribing them to advancing senility. But, after all, is age more foolish than youth when in the grip of 'the pleasing madness?"

TOWN TALK.

HE action of Special - Officer Meehan in capturing three men who stole number ~ of chickens a day or i two ago, and locking - them up in the police A-~ station is to be com
 mended, first because it shows that
 he has the police idea, and possesses the necessary sand which enables him to perform his duties satisfactorily. It was a good piece of work and must be a great relief to the owners of chickens on the outskirts who have received nocturnal visits, if not from
 those whom Officer Meehan arrested, then from others just like them. ! Chicken stealing is serious offense,
 so much so that the state offers
 reward for the capture of the thieves and the first person to receive the reward in this city was woman. Officer Meehan could not accept the
 reward for himself individually if he
 were a member of the regular force,
 but he could take it and deposit 1t
 to the credit of the police pension
 fund, where all moneys received from
 such sources have been deposited
 since the fund was esta blished.' He
 being a supernumerary may make
 some difference in the case as it now
 stands. The late Captain Lee was
 entitled to state reward for captur-
 ing a horse thief but he never claimed
 it, the reason being that he would first
 be obliged to obtain the consent of the authorities and he declined to
 make such request. The late Joseph
 w. Goodrich who was the chairman
 of the police commission, urged him
 to make application for the money
 but the officer steadfastly declined and
 as; result the reward was never col
 lected. It ought not to be so with
 Officer Meehan for the reason that the
 men he captured are evidently old
 hands at the business, they stole more than they could eat and those who do that cannot reasonably claim that they did it because they were out of work and were unable to buy food. There have always been idlers whose method of living have been such as to excite suspicion until some watch. full policeman learned the secret and allowed the court to determine the punishment Outside of this and other acts of petty thieving, New Britain Is fairly free from the work of the lawless element. It has always been true that those who commit criminal acts in this city are usually arrested and penalized by the court. There have been a few exceptions, but even in those cases the offenders were known and only escaped punish ment by flight and in one of the cases the accused committed suicide. Taken as whole the New Britain police department is made up of an efficient body of men, some more skilful perhaps than others but all ready and willing to risk their lives i, tight places when such an act is necessary in order to perform their duty. They do not show the white feather and Officer Meehan Is the latest to prove that he is made of the right material.

High office buildings of the future are to have transportation cars run ming around the corridors for the de- livery of people at the doors of of fees, and fares are to be charged for riding on them. Checks are to be handed out to all who pay such fare, that they may ride up and down on the elevators without pay That Is the announcement made by the sec retary of the National Association of Building Owners and Managers, at Duluth, Minn., and it is said to be strong hint that before long fare will be charged for rides in elevators where there are no lateral branches for the corridors The impression prevails that the new ideas are to make the elevator riders help pay the rents.-Norwich Record.

No One To Play With.
When Willie was a little lad

When Willie was little lad About the age of eight, Of course the little fellow had To have a running mate; All day with him,-in yard or street He'd play,-and only stop Just long enough to go and eat, And off again he'd hop. His playmate was a sickly boy, But even so, we knew His face expressed the fun and joy Of 1iving,-through and through; A Stranger called one summer day, And with his cruel hands He carried Willie's friend away To play in other Lands. My boy became at once depressed, With others he'd not play, Although they'd coax and try their
 best,
 He'd shake his head and say. You fellows go an get your fun,- You'll have it, too, I know, I'm waitin for another one,- I've gotta wait for Joe.'' At bedtime there was no relief,' Convulsed with sobs he'd be:
 
 Quite pitiful to see. 'I wanna play with Joe,'' he'd cry, Our hearts would fill with fears, At last his curly head would lie On pillow wet with tears. My friend was always sickly, too, At last he also died,-- Since then I've scarcely tried to woo The pOetS to my side: To play with them I do not wish, CTwould really be a sin,) I've simply gotta wait for Ish,- I wanta play with him. Like Willie, I have often cried While lying in my bed; My old friend Ish K. Bibble died,-- I know he must be dead. An me, I soon will be a nut With all this in my dome, I wanta play with Bibble, but I guess he ain't at home.

New York city has but thirteen miles of park benches available for open air courtships. Park Commis- sioner Cabot Ward is now asking the board of estimate for $35,OO0 as an emergency appropriation to provide additional seating capacity for the present season. As the number of benches is no greater now than in 1906, while the victims of cupid's darts have increased in number by a large percentage, it is believed that the custodians of Father Knicker- hocker's purse will have a heart."- Bridgeport Standard.

When man not under contract strikes. that is, quits work, that is generally admitted to be his privi- lege, even though it might be more honorable to give longer notice of his intention But can a man under signed contract with equal readiness and equal honor lightly say, T no longer consider myself under con- tract? If there is any virtue in any contract, it would seem to make a difference. Suppose the employer, for some reason that seemed good to himself, should say: "I no longer consider you under contract; and that will have to suffice for your pay" Then there would be some stirring about to see whether or not a contract was good for anything New Haven Register.

Greater New York,

The population of Greater New York
is estimated by the health department
at 5,476,966 on January l., 1914. Ac-
cording to the same authority the pop

Manhattan, 2,513O6O; the Bronx, 612.-
294; Brooklyn, 1,SS0,713; Queens, 373,-
414; Richmond, 97,515. Not yet, how
ever has Greater New York caught up
with London. The British metropolis
still leads the big Yankee town by
some 100000.

Securing Endowment Fund of $500 600

Denver-The University Of Denver,
which recently celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary of the granting OF its
charter, is now actively engaged in a
campaign to secure an endowment
fund of 100000. One hundred thou
sand dollars of this amount is already
offered conditionally by the National
Education board, and $1,000 more has
already been raised by individual sub
scriptions. The success Of this under
taking will not only assure the per
manent endowment OF the oldest col
lege of the Rocky Mountain region,
but it will also give the University of
Denver permanent place upon the
National Education Boards list of
one hundred representatve American
colleges and universities The total
amount must be pledged before Nov
ember list, next, but the Board makes
its offers only after y very careful
examination of the standards, the
needs and the ability of the institu-
ton favored. So far among nearly
one hundred colleges thus recognized,
net one has failed to meet the re-
quirements, and in no case has any
extension of time been granted by the
Board.

FOR SUNDAY EVENING
APPETlZING HOT DISHES TO
SERVE AT SUPPER.
Good Thing About Them II That
Their Preparation viii Not Com
pei Mother to Stay In Kitchen
All the Afternoon.

At this time of year hot dish at
the Sunday supper table is always
welcomed, especially II 1t happens to
be bit unusual. There are a num-
Der of dainty. savory dishes that can
be easily and quickly prepared. These
are the kind that will appeal to the
mother. who will certainly not wish
to spend the afternoon in the kitchen.
however much she may have the well
fare of the family at heart.
Some of the dishes can be prepared
beforehand and can be cooked or re-
heated In the time 1t takes to set the
table. Take. for instance:
Baked Sausages-When preparing
the potatoes for dinner cook an extra
quantity. Mash smoothly and mix in
a little well beaten egg. Butter indi-
vidual pans and fill with the potato,
brushing over with milk or beaten egg.
Buy the very small sausages and. cut
ting apart, boil for five minutes. Join
the ends with wooden toothpick be-
fore putting into the water. Form
ring Of the potato and lay the sausage
upon it, then put into the oven and
bake until the top Is brown. Pin a
little dolly around each dish and
serve on a plate garnished with a
sprig of parsley.
Chicken Rolls-These can be pre-
pared the day before il. when cold
they are wrapped in wet paper to keep
them moist. Supposing there is any
chicken left over, 1t may be augment
ed by couple of slices of cooked ham
bought at the delicatessen. Chop ham
and chicken fine and mix together
with white sauce, dash of red pep
per and minced parsley to taste. Roll
out fairly rich pie crust very thin,
cut into squares and lay spoonful Of
the mixture upon each. Form into
rolls or turn over three -cornered fash
ion and brush with well beaten egg
Bake in hot oven until nice and
brown. A few minutes will suffice for
reheating when wanted for the table.
Serve on folded napkin and garnish
with parsley. Fresh. crisp watercress
is nice with either dish suggested.
Sweetbreads With Mushrooms
Mushrooms are moderate in price just
now. and combined with sweetbreads
, make delicious dish. When the lat
ter comes from the butcher soak in
| cold water for two hours then cook
for five minutes ia boiling water.
Drop from this into cold again and re-
move the fibers. Cut into pieces and
| fry in butter with about equal quanti-
ties of mushrooms. or as many as de-
| sired. When nicely Drowned blend a
| little butter and -four and make into
