CYNONYMOUS with gorgeous chrys- anthemums and golden November 0 days, is Thanksgiving and foot. ball, and to those who love flowers, no member of the floral Kingdom holds out more fascination and charm than the handsome stately chry ysanthemum.
 A favorite undoubtedly has the chrys- anthemum become in late years, florist and nurseryman having perfected it and made of it such varied beauty that no other flower seems half so regal-or half so beautiful.
 There are now over half thousand varieties of the chrysanthemum, with the cultivators and experts inventing a new one or two every year
 Every color except blue has been pro- duced, and nearly every combination of colors has been developed, and with SC large a field to choose from, any color scheme that is desired may be carried out to perfection with this lovely flower as a decoratio
 As for names-they have all sorts-from royalty to peasantry, from poet to priest, from Lucifer to Hamlet, from Martha Washington q don't believe any has been named yet for Mrs. GalD to Lilly Lang try, from Wisdom to Uncertainty from Sunshine to Moonlight
 Some of the appellations are really quite fantastic, and when one of the tall slen- der, long-waisted, shaggy headed yellow Nuns bobs up at you and smiles, you feel like calling it Teddy and hearing it say, sdee-lighted, while the smaller ones of the flirty little chorus girl type mods at you like Gaby Deslys, their head dress of gorgeous arrangement making them seem very realm other words, giv- ing them personality, just like people.
 A few days ago I dropped in at the Elmwood Nurseries just to see the chrys- anthemums, and it was well worth the visit.
 The handsome. we'll equipped green houses, beautifully arranged for the cul- tivation of this manifcent flower, pre- sented an appearance rarely ever seen outside of a. painting.
 Color ran riot-great, luscious. dazzling yellow flowers, nodded and beckoned alongside of dainty, sweet delicate pink chrysanthemums. And such pink Ii fairly melted and turned the petals through which it surged into wax blos- sons, right before your very eyes.
 Huge white chrysanthemums like yes tai virgins marching to the altar, stared at you with their big, innocent, wide eyed faces, while at the same moment your eyes rested upon flaming crimson dark, damask rose-colored chrysanthe- mums, through which ran bit of pale yellow, just fieked in here and there, like an artist would add as the finishing bit ot color on marvelously brilliant land. scape.
 Tiny, little, modest, "Quaker-look chrysanthemums huddled up six and eigh in bunch as if they were afraid to g, out by themselves, looked like demure an, ingenue-ish,' while just next to then standing ever so high, was a great, brazel flower like a ''masher' on the corner o some big thoroughfare, dressed in his bes fall clothes, winking and blinking at eacl feminine victim as he strutted about il his glory.
 Personally. I think the chrysanthemnn is very soulless sort of a flower Whil 1 it is the show flower of the world (con

 Still holding her by the hand, he led her up that street a way that turned into another. There stood the car barn, and nearly opposite was big IodslnS house. He rang the bell, and presently the door was opened by the laudlady, who asked what he wanted.
 'I am trying" ne said, "to find this little lady's home. I thought from her description that this might be the place.
 Looking closer at the little girl, she exclaimed. 'SWhy, she lives with the young lady in the front room upstairs! Come in,' she added to the child and go up to your room. You'd better take the gentleman up with you to explain matters
 So Baby Bess trudgcd up the stairs with her companion and burst into the front room, where a young lady sat by Q window tinting pictures with wa ter colors.

 The young lady bent and kissed the child, and then, rising, turned to thank the man who had brought her home. But the words died on her lips as she saw him extend his arms toward her while he barely whispered, Ruth! Ruth!" The next moment she was folded in those arms, as he said Never again shall l let you go, dear heart. You and I are going to get married right away, and Baby Bess shall be our good little mascot. Oh, Ruth. I thank God I have found you!"

ENTIRELY UNJusTtFIEp

An outburst Of indignation is re- ported to have come from the neopie af French ports as the result of the sinking of merchant ships by the Ger nan submarines. Such is based upon he claim that vessels have been tor 1edoed and rendered in g. helpless con- 1Jtion. before warning was given to he crews or any opportunity permit ed to escape from the effects of the explosion except such as might be Ilur- -fedly made following the realization f the situation.
 Such being the case, if it is true, here is good reason for more than in lignation. If it is manifested solely because the German vessels have been elever enough to get out of their hole and prove a serious menace to the shipping of the allies there is little ground for it.

FARM FOR tNEBRlATEs.

There is every reason to believe as George C. Erslline, superintendent of the Massachusetts stateo farm for in ebriates, does, when he told 0 Hart ford audience that Connecticut can make as much of a success of such an institution as Massachusetts has. That there is equally as much need for such a farm in this commonwealth as in a neighooring one is no secret. Until it is secured one of the needs of Con- necticut will not be met.
 For Q number of years there has been much agitation in behalf of such a state colony for the treatment of those who have become common drunkards, and are a detriment to themselves, their families and the com munity. T. has been advised by heads of institutions where such cases are apt 10 bring up sooner or later that the state farm rather than the hospi- tai is the proper place for the commit ment Of the inebriates. For institu- tions which are intended for the treat ment of other diseases to be filled up with such eases only en1barraSses the much more important work. Today the insane hospitals get many of such cases, but such treatment as the inc briate needs can be supplied far bet ter in a different way. Experience shows that it does no good to send them to jail for brief periods only to have past performances repeated. X state farm is a. relief to both and q benefit 10 the drunkard
 That there is . need for a state farm is unquestioned. Such bill was ve-. toed two years ago because of the con- dition of the state finances. That con dftion has grown worse since and f the state farm is again deferred the pressing need or economy will be the only justified excuse.

LOST AND FOUND

Wynnan sat in his office chair, think ing. It was just a year since he had left the little village where he had lived from boyhood, and had come to the city to build up a business of his own. He had been-keen in his under taking, because a certain young lady had said she would become his wife when he thought he was in position to marry.
 But her last letter to hi1n-that had been two months past-said that she was leaving her old home and wished him to regard himself as free from all promises.
 She said she had 9 great responsfbii- ity on her own hands, but could not expect him to share it.
 E'If only could get some idea where to look for her." sighed the young man. T would show her that my love is great enough to take her, responsi- bi1ity and all She could not have there will never be any girl for me but Ruth Anderson, and pray God l may in some way find her"
 He closed his desk and left the office. It was growing dusl1y, and he stepped off briskly toward his clubrooms. As he turned a corner he nearly fell over 9 mite of girl, who stood there cry ing. Being sympathetic and a lover of children, he stopped to ask what she was crying for.
  flowing with tears, she said. "Oh, please, sir, Tse lost. Do you fink you could find ne?' and little hand slipped into his.
 What is your name, little one?" he asked, "and where do you 1ive?"
 'fWhy, Isc Baby Bess." And she looked as if surprised that sine had not known. T live with Auntie, cause my mamma went to heaven after papa runned away from us
 And who is Auntie?"
 Why, she's just Auntie. that's all. Only she's not my really, truly, auntie Mamma asked her to take care Of me, cause they was good friends, and there wasn't no one else to love me"

OPPOSED TO BAD PRACTICE.

Justifyins his action by maintaining that his opposition to the board of strategy in the navy department as provided for in the naval appropria- ton bill, was because of his aversion to riders. House Leader Mann takes 9 position which has caused some stIr- prise because of the value of this par ticular provision and no little criti- cisn. but as q stand against the harm ful practice of injecting riders into i'm portant bills, it is right.
 When he declares that legislation Of this kind has no place in an ap- propriation bill he says what is SC, and when he declares that the house committee on naval affairs could have reported this board of strategy lesis- lation some time ago if it had been so disposed he calls attention to the habit of covering up what may seem small but later prove important mat ters with highly important appropria- ton bills simply to insure their pas age with as little consideration as Iossible
 There is no reason why this addition to the navy department cannot stand upon it's own feet It is because of the need for it and a recognition of the merit of the legislation that crit icIsn1 followed the objection to it by Representative Mann. and it throws some light upon legislative practice when he declares 1t was not objection to the provision. but to the method of introducing it which called forth his point of order The fact Is that riders and such hurried legislation as that proposed get no consideration. They are simply railroaded through under Inc cloak of necessary bills regardless If the consequences and it is a method which deserves discourag cement.

carrying passengers, there is no Iegit- innate defense for the sending of a tor- pedo into 8 steamer and jeopardizing the lives of the crew or passengers. It is not a. practice that has been fol- lowed by either side thus far in the war and has no more justification than the dropping of bombs onto defense less cities for the killing of non-com- batants. Uniess warships, or armed vessels, are attacked, commerce de- struction, which is the purpose of the action against merchantmen, recoS- nizes the justice of extending an op- portunity to leave the ship before it is blown up. This is what has been done in all cases up to this time and if Germany has seen the wisdom of doing otherwise it will be learned with surprise, in larger portion of the world than France.
