There is but one really effective way of stamping out the fly, and that is by eliminating his breeding places, and killing him in the larval stage. As all fly breeding places are pest holes any way, they ought to be eliminated as a matter of pride, regardles of the fly. A regard for appearances, and a desire to maintain sanitary conditions should dictate this. The presence of the fly is the pure proof of the existence of filth, for he was born and bred in it.

An accident in Bridgeport recently brings forcibly to mind the need of the passage of a bill now before the tate Legislature regarding the use of air rifles by children under 16 years of age. A lad, aged 13, was using an air rifle and put bullet into the eye of a five-year- old boy who was watch ing him. The sight of one eye is des- troyed and that of the other will prob ably be lost. The bill now before the Assembly prohibits the sale of air rifles not to any under 16 years of age It also prohibits parents presenting these weapons to children under this age or allowing them to use them. The bill carries a heavy penalty for it's vi olation. It should become 8 law Hartford Post.

Legitimate and unprejudiced legis- Iative attention to such requirements would be approved. But is the bill under discussion so conceived or in tended? We must express doubt. The thing is far too vague and uncertain, too much suspicion attaches to it. It has the thumb marks of our most adroit, interruptions and self-center- ed politicians upon it's pages.

Such a stand might involve a certain amount of inconvenience for the reformers. If, however, there really is a principle involved such considerations, however, should not prevail. If the tippers stop tipping, wage readjustments would quickly follow and the alleged evil would soon be ended to all intents and purposes. There is as yet no likeli-

Mahan got his appropriation, New London is getting her harbor, and it is to be hoped that it will be as suc- cessful as Bryan promised. Nature and the state have done their best. New London enterprise must do the remainder. None of the trans-Atlan- tic lines have moved towards the new harbor yet, and are not likely to, but there are humber sorts of commerce that may be attracted. Just why commerce has so long ignored one of the finest deep-water harbors on the Atlantic coast, the New London boom CTS never explained, but now they have their chance to prove that trade must go where 1t belongs.-Waterbur Republican.

world, and cambridge kicked chair

Broftin, heavy browed and clean

the chair to suit himself and sat down.

In the midst of his vehement pro.
tests the stranger sprang out Of his
chair stepped back pace and raised
his weapon.

The hammer of the leveled pistol
clicked. Andrew Galbraith shut his
eyes and made a blind grasp for pen
and checkbook. His hands were shak.
ing as with a palsy, but the fear of
death steadied them suddenly when he
came to write.
Endorse It'll" was the next COM
mand. The voices had ceased beyond
the partition, and the dead silence was
relieved only by the labored strokes
of the presidents pen and the tap-tap
of the typewriter in the adjacent
anteroom.
The check was written and indorsed,
and under the menace of the revolver
Andrew Galbraith was trying to give
it to the robber. But the robber would
not take it.
mo, don't want your paper; come
with me to your paying teller and get
me the money. Make what explana-
tion you see fit; but remember-if he
hesitates, you die"
They left the private Office together,
the younger man a short half-step In
the rear, with his pistol-bearing hand
thrust under his coat. The president
did not despair. In the public lobby
there would be eyes to see, and per-
haps some that would understand. Mr..
Galbraith took firmer hold upon his
self-possession and trusted that some
happy chance might yet intervene to
save him.
But chance did not intervene. There
was a goodly number of customers in
the public space, but not one of the
half-dozen or more who nodded to the
president or passed the time of day
with him saw the eye-appeal which
was the only one he dared to make.
On the short walk around to the pay
ing teller's window, the robber kept
even step with his victim, and try as
he would, Andrew Galbraith could not
summon the courage to forget the
pistol muzzle menacing him in its
coat-covered ambush.
At the paying wicket there was
only one customer, instead of the
group the president had hoped to find;
a sweet-faced young woman in a mod
est travelling hat and gray coat. She
was getting a draft cashed, and when
she saw them she would have stood
aside. 1t was the robber who antici-
pated her intention and forbade it
with courteous gesture; whereat she

clude her small transaction with the

met would reconstruct the beard on
the sunburned lines. Now for pawn
broker; and the more avaricious he
happens to be, the better he will serve
the purpose"
He went to the door and looked up
and down the alley. The negro was
not yet in sight, and Griswold walked
rapidly away in the direction opposite
to that taken by the obliging barber.
A pawnbroker's shop of the kind re-
quired was not far to seek in that To-
cality, and when it was found, Girls
void drove a hard bargain with the
Portuguese Jew behind the counter
The pledge he offered was the suit he
was wearing, and the bargaining con-
cluded In an exchange of the still serv-
iceable business suit for pair OF but
| ternut trousers, a secondhand coat too
short in the sleeves, a flannel shirt, .
cap, and a red handkerchief; these
and a sum of ready money, the small
ness of which he deplored piteously
before he would consent to accept it.
The effect of the haggling was ex-
actly what Griswold had prefgured.
The Portuguese, most suspicious OF
his tribe, suspecting everything but
the truth, fatty accused his customer
of having stolen the pledge. And
when Griswold departed without deny
ing the charge, suspicion became con-
viction, and the pledged clothing,
which might otherwise have given the
police the needed clue, was carefully
hidden away against time when the
Jews apprehensions should be quieted
Having thus disguised himself, Girls
void made the transformation artist

"Bete! Go back on da levee w'er'

his teeth.

pinnacle Of resolution, at the instant
when, with the robber at his elbow,
he stepped to the window and pre-
sented the check, Andrew Galbraith
felt the gentle pressure of the pistol
muzzle against his side; nay, more
he fancied he could feel the cold chill
of the metal strike through and
through him.
So it came about that the fine reso-
luton had quite evaporated when he
said, with what composure there was
in him: You'll please give me cur
rency for that. Johnson"
The teller glanced at the check and
then at his superior; not too inquisi'
lively, since it was not his business
to question the presidents com
