Count Your Blessings.

Stop it. Begin today to talk of your blessings. Begin to look for the things which you would not exchange for the wealth of Croesus. Begin to keep your troubles to yourself, talking only with God about them; and see to it that you do not complain to Him.
 Ask only that you may be given light and strength and shown the way to utilize your sorrows to the best purpose. Accept them as lessons given you to learn in the great school of life, and ask not that you be given excuses for poorly learned lessons, but wisdom and perseverance to conquer them. s..t
 Once you attain this attitude of mind, To, all things shall be given you; pleasure and peace and success an happiness and wisdom.
 And if you do not attain to this state. but continue to find fault with destiny and talk of disease, and pover- ty and trouble, then "that which you seem to have shall be taken away" " for it is the law of the ages. .-Un- identified.

Red Cross Seal Sale.

Pennsnts will be awarded by the American Red Cross and tho National Association fer the Study and Proven tion of Tuberculosis to the seven counties, towns, cities and villages selling the greatest number of Red Cross Christmas Seals per capita before January first, according to an announcement form the State Capitol by State Director H. E. Clearman, of the Tuberculosis Commission, today. a
 In order to make the competition even the various communities have been grouped according to their popu- plation at the last census into seven classes. as follows: From 500 to 9, GOO; from 2,000 to 5000; from 8, ,000 to 25,000; from 5000 to 90, 900; from 30, 900 to 150, ,0o0; from 150, 1000 to 500, 900: and over 800, GOO. A special ly prepared pennant will be given the community in each class selling the largest number of seals per capita.
 MT. Clearman, who is carrying on the promotion of the sale for the State Tuberculosis Commission, considers that three seals per inhabitant should be sold by cities of 100, ,000 people, land that in smaller communities the aver, age should run higher.
 All of the net proceeds from the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals in Con- necticut, go to fight tuberculosis in this state. mf

 Southington's school teachers have voluntarily agreed among themselves to refuse all Christmas gifts from their pupils. They have4set an example that every teacher in the state will do well to follow. The habit among many teachers of accepting gifts from pupils is evil in all it's aspects. It is wholly incapable of successful defense.-Hart- ford Courant. ,- ..
 You might as we'll tell your wife what you want for Christmas You'll have to pay the bill nyway.-Bridge- port Telegram.
 Those newspapers which have started their campaign against members of the presidents cabinet have begun pretty early in view of the. fact that election is two years away. A dozen things will arise to shift the interest of the people between now and the next campaign. Hartford Post.
 The fox trot skirt must not have ruff1es or f1ounces. Seems funny to us. The fox trots pretty we'll with a rufaed tail.-New Haven Union.
 This is particularly not a season which there should be any over-in- diligence in the bestowal of useless and unnecessary gifts. There are too many real demands upon the purse of the average man.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 The Case murder becomes more of a puzzle each day, especially as this Carroll, who was wanted, has proven that he could not have been anywhere near Barkhamsted at the time. Some of the prowliug yeggs who have been infesting the state for some time, may be blamed now.-Meriden Journal.
 The principal duty of these glitter ing soldiers of the Governors staff is to attend dances, and sometimes cor ner stone layings, and it is likely that the rank of Connecticut as a military hegemony is inceased by the circum- stance that its leading soldiers are seldom seen, except tripping the light, fantastic toe. But since dancing is the duty of the staff, let us hot be too nasty in passing on the fitness of the It may be all right in waltz or two step, but can it tango, fox trot, or lame duck ?--Bridgeport Fatmer. l

Ullman, also of New Haven, whose renown has expanded and intensified since he adorned the staff of Governor George Lounsbury, until he has come to consort with ex-Pre sidents, governs the destinies of the biggest Chamber of Commerce in the state, and yields a potent influence in the councils of his party. ....--..
 Another Colonel who occupies high place in the roll of honor of military heroes is Colonel Bob" Eaton, known and esteemed throughout the length and breadth of Connecticut, not only as fire-eating warrior, but as the genius who made fire eaters of all his fellow-warriors on the Lilley- Weeks staff, by supplying them with cigars, on memorable official junket, which had been murderously loaded with red-fire composition, and transformed the astonished staff into a spraying fountain of pyrotechnics.. Colonel Eaton's "record of useful public ser vice. is not to be denied by any one who has kept tabs on the trend of events for the last ten years.
 In fact, the state is plentifully besprinkled with former staff members whose records of useful public service bespeak the value of military training for the ordinary walks of life.

THURSDAY. DECEMBER IT. 1914
HALL FOR COUNTY coMMIS-
 SIONER,

Former County Commissioner George w. Hall, of Canaan, after per sistent urging on the part of some of his friends, has consented to stand as a candidate for appointment to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Com- missioner Hubert B. Case. of Barkham- sted. It is argued that Canaan, being the geographical center of the 31st senatorial district, is the logical loca- ton for the county commissioner ap- portioned to that district. It is 25 miles from Kent, the southernmost town in the district, and the same dist ance from Barkhamsted, the town farth- est east MT. Hall was county commits sioner for eight years, and was on the board with Commissioner Case, and would probably be occupying that position at the present time, had the county not been redistricted in such manner as to bring both Barkhamsted and Canaan into the same district. He was virtually legislated out by the re- apportionment of 1903, though his term of office did not expire until 1905.
 As it is quite likely that an entire new board will be named very soon, it is manifestly desirable that the pres ence upon it of one experienced mem- Der be assured; and MT. Halls eight years service and his commendable record in the office, would seem to be abundant qualification to recommend him to the favorable consideration of the representatives of the county.

What She Did at Home.

Just as the sun was setting over the long stretch of ocean that swept away from the deserted island where few weeks before, they had been cast adrift, he came upon her from his daily toil. She was sitting at the foot of a tree making canoes out of bark. "H this were summer resort, !" he said, gravely, "those things might be salable-possibily. May I ask what you are making them for?"
 'tI like to keep busy" She was a very attractive woman. There was no one near them for hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles. They had only known each other since the wreck.

Letters From the People
The Municipal Christmas Tree.
Editor of The News {:

To the Editor of The News:
 see "be tn pa-a-pers, as Dooley says, that Winsted is to have munici- pal Christmas tree. Do you suppose Canaan will ever have one, MT. Editor? Some centuries later, perhaps, don't you think? Anyhow, it won't be until every little town, big town, hamlet and city on the map has had one, and then the Christmas tree craze will hit us like tornado, and the whole scheme will be carried out, boomed and blazed as if no one else had ever thought of such a thing before. Among the old files of Connecticut Western News, laid away since 1896, there will be found dim, hazy reference to plea for Municipal Christmas tree made by the Editor in 1913-14 and one lone sub scriber. This will be in the year 2010. Then the editor of that later date will say, "Why here S a real cute idea, and it's Sc old it will be something new. :" Of course "real cute" will be obsolete in 2010 but let's not brother about that. Slang is perennial that has come to stay, and some of the old exclamations O1 OuI IO1C1dbLIO1S WILL to the last day. I shouldn't be a bit surprised (if I'm anywhere. arouni) when the rocks begin to fall on us, to hear some woman say "Mercy Sakes !" and Goodness Gracious '' just as they probably did before the flood, when everybody was drowning. -.
 Good MT. Editor keep begging away on that Christmas tree. You chop on one side and we will on t'other and every year let our axes ring till finally down goes great, big Christmas tree to be put up-No, that isn't so good a plan as this: Why not plant Canaan's s future Christmas tree, Arbor Day, on the green or in the park ? Then we can watch it grow for the generations to come. s.. Circle All.
 We welcome the collaboration idea and accept the partnership proffer; but we own up to stronger faith in the ultimate success of the agitation than "Circle All'' professes. With little prodding at intervals during the year, and combined onslaught with both hammers at the psychological moment next year, the public conscience should be sufficiently awakened before the Christmas of 1915 to insure the success full carrying out of the municipal Christmas tree idea. With sys- tematic beginning, and little energy rightly directed, Canaan will catch the contagion readily enough, and enthus- iasm will not be lacking to push the municipal Christmas tree project to a glittering success.
Connecticut western news., 1914-12-17

The show windows and display tables of the Canaan merchants present a holiday array that attracts admiring attention from all who stop to gaze, handle or purchase. So far as variety, value and acceptableness are concerned, the Christmas wares offered right here at home are as attractive, in charm and in price, as the prospective pur- chaser will find in the cities, and every reasonable want, in that line, may be supplied by our Canaan merchants, from candy all the way up through the list of toys, wearables, necessaries and luxuries, to diamonds and the most ornate and expensive sdornments. And the home merchant is entitled to at least fair share of the home trade.

From the reports submitted by the presidents of the various choral so- cieties, at the annual meeting of the Litchfield Choral Union, at Delmon- ico's, last Friday, it is evident that the singing talent of the choral union towns is inspired with earpestness and enthusiasm for the work, and that the coming musical campaign will find every old singer interested, and lots of new ones eager for training.
