The long, active and useful life of Susan Lippitt. widow of the late Ed win Hill, came to a close at her home 53 Division street, at one o'clock on Monday afternoon. Mrs. Hill was a woman of strong character, well read well informed, and her cheerful opti- mistic spirit, made it a pleasure to meet her. Although confined to her bed for five months, she maintained the same cheerfulness, ever looking forward to the day when she would be able to leave the sick room and once more take an active part in life. She was the last of a family of seven chil- ,lren, the last to pass away before her being Edward Lippitt who died in Petaluma, Cal, three years ago. The late Harris G., and George Lippitt were
 her brothers.
 She leaves one daughter, Mrs H. D.
 Avery, who devotedly cared for her
 mother in her long illness until the last
 two weeks. when her condition became
 so serious as to require constant at tention. She also left several and nieces.
 Mrs. William HouIihan. In failing health for the past four
 months, the death of Florence Morgan wife of William Houlihan. of No. 191 Boswell avenue, occurred on Monday morning at 10 o'clock She was the l daughter of the late John and Emma Morgan and was born in Lyme on Jan 4. 1890.

 l Her life was a quiet one and her in- terests were in her home, where hel

be submitted to the people for their judgment on the
proposition This petition only asks that proposition to

HumoriStS Of the Past.

Robert j. Burdette, once wide
ly known as the Burlington
Hawkeye Man" was the last of
a group Of newspaper humorists
who flourished during the seven
ties. and eighties. According to
accepted tradition Benjamin
Franklin sounded the keynote of
American humor while signing
the Declaration of independence.
IF we don't hang together we
are quite certain to hang separa-
tely," he said while affixing his
name to that historic document.
The wit Of Franklin-and our
country can boast of no greater
wit than his-was founded on
wisdom, as was that of James
Russell Lowell and Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, whose work has a
fine literary quality. There was
wisdom, too, although of another
kind, in the savings of John Phoe-
nix, Artemus Ward and Josh Bill
lings. The newspaper humorists
who WHO &Sye ktjaasl faaaI = ... 10
Danbury News, the Detroit Free
Press, the Burlington Hawkeye
and other Journals dealt chiefly
with such homely themes as the
putting up and taking down of
the stovepipe, the inopportune
visit Of the mother-in-law, the
return from the lodge and the
treachery of the banana peel.
The antics of the whiskered goat
served them all, long and faith
fully.
Just now humor is at a low
ebb in this country. Even our
boasted sense of the ridiculous
seems to be disappearing. New
York Herald.

Wild Life Protection.

The country seems to have be-
come aroused to the necessity of
providing ample areas of refuge
for migratory birds, and other life
against the ruthless slaughter by
a class of people who delight in
killing every inoffensive bird or
animal that inhabits the earth.

Whale Beef,

Something new every day is a
cheerful proposition, but it is
hardly to be expected that science
will discover something new for
us to eat when our crops fall short
or when our desires cry for a
greater variety. However, a bit
OF interesting news comes from
the Pacific coast that we will now
have a new kind of beef" 1t
Is, In short, the meat of the whale
after the blubber has been cut
away. Seems rather replusive at
hrst, but a little retrospection will
recall the fact that we eat tuna
fish which was subject to the
same objection at first thought,
1t is planned to send out a can
nlng outfit with each Whaler,
which will can the meat ION the
spot, " thus insuringit beingpack-
ed fresh. A whale of average
size will yield about thirty thou
sand pounds Of whale beef" so
that it is estimated that the ship
will bring back 2, 500 cases of pro-
duct ready for market. The in
dustry was made necessary by
the decline in the price Of whale
oil, which has fallen from $3.50
to So cents a gallon. Hartford

Dingledollar Dan.
% NNO00N@00NN0,

Once there was a nice Old Fos-
sill living in a town about the
size of this.
When he was a Little Boy a
man gave him a dollar to run and
get changed.
He forgot to go back with the
change and that was the First
Dollar he ever earned.
When he died he had it still.
He used to pack his Money
down into his Jeans with a Hay
Press.
He could make an ordinary
Tight-wad look like Coal Oil
Johnnie.
When ever he needed any
clothing he grew Sick at Heart
to think Of the Useless Expense.
He did not bother the town
merchants very copiously, but
when they saw him coming they
ducked into the trenches.
He beat them down on their
prices until they were almost
willing to give him the goods to
Get Rid Of him.
Time rolled on until one day
there blew into the town an Out
fit which rented an empty Store
Room and offered the good citi-
zens a chance to buy what was
left Of a Bankrupt Fire and Flood
Sale Stock of Shoes and clothing
at thirty cents on the Dollar.
All! those were the happy days
OF Dlngledollar Dan.
He loosened up on more Coin
than he had Emancipated for
many, many years.
Money that had been mourned
as Lost Forever came back to
Life, Liberty and the pursuit OF
Happiness.
He loaded up with clothes and
shoes from the Bankrupt Stock.
And in his mind he Groaned to
think of the Good Money he had
given the town merchants fol
things that were No Better than
those he was getting SO Cheaply
now.
He knew they Yate No Better
because the BankrulW fellow:
told him so.
One day it Rained.
To his asonishment the colo

way, the trousers shrank timidly
from his ankles, his shoes becam,

that our Gttlest and youngest grand
child, the Federal Commission on In
dustrial Relation, seems to be at the
point of finding the lost things. In
Texas, where there is land enough to
give each of the people Of the earth a
small farm, the people who don't own
land are being reduced to the status
of wage labOrers, which means to beg
for a chance to earn a bare living and
to depend on charity when OppOrtu-
nifty fails.
Our youngest grandchild has dis
covered the spectacles and they are
branded CONCENTRATED LAND
OWNERSHIP, but the little one has
not discovered the way to put the
spectacles back where they belong,
over grandma's eyes. She talks
about ladders in the shape of land
commissions, economic courts and
labor exchanges.
If she could be induced to go back
some years and read what Henry
George said about concentrated land
ownership grandma would get the
spectacles much sooner.
Unrestricted land ownership brings
land concentration, wage slavery,
land speculation, low wages, poverty,
crime and financial panics.
The remedy for all these ills is to
abolish all taxes except a tax upon
land values, and to increase this one
tax until it takes substantially all the
annual value of all privately-Owned
land, or, in other words, all land Of
every kind except land owned by the
nation, and to use this fund for all
public purposes which are necessary
for the benefit and welfare of all the
people.
When this is done we will find all
the things that we have lost, includ-
ing equal freedom, equal opportunity,
prosperity and abundance for all,
peace with all the world and the be-

GRANDMA'S SPECS. - Most of
your readers will memember about
grandma. For those who do not it is
necessary to say that grandma lost
her spectacles. In those days people
did not wear glasses. Glasses were
used for drinking purposes.
Well! for a long time the whole
house was in a cOmmotion over
grandma's loss. Everybody hunted
and found not Then the Iittlest and
youngest grandchild pointed out that
the lost spectacles were securely
perched upon grandma's gray but
abundant hair. And peace settled
down upon the house.
Now, in some respects we are all
grandmas. Also the people of other
nations. We have lost a lot of
things. We have lost a large part of
the liberty we had before so many of
our individual functions were taken
away by the corporate way Of doing
business and doing the people at the
same time. We have lost a large part
of the initiative that all of US had
when the nation was young. If we
fail to couple up with some big bust
ness monster we have a hard time
to make even a decent living.
We are all of us, except the mo-
nopOHsts and their allies, looking for
our lost things, including the lost lib
erty and the vanished iniative. We
have looked everywhere except
where they are to be found. When
they are found the high cost of liV-
ing will be found in their company.
All this merely leads up to saying
