Shuttle Meadow Lake.

(By James Shepard.) When Shuttle Meadow Lake was new,
 From all the towns around, The people came to fish and row
 And bowl the ten pins down. A house stood on the eastern bank
 Sheltered by rocks and trees. The Dunhams rented boats and
 Our many tastes to please. They made road high up the cliff
 For exercising people, Anl raised a tower which in our town
 Was once the Baptist steeple. Picknickers came from far and near,
 The fishermen did glory. They may have failed in catching fish,
 They never failed with story. At length the city did declare
 Such doings far from nice, No work or play would they permit,
 Save that of cutting ice. The city grew. the water shrunk,
 The dam. for long was dry, So then we made a stronger dam
 And raised it rather high. Our splendid waterworks did give
 The city such a pull That with the added souls we gained
 The lake was seldom full. Then all around our watery eyes To every point did look. When in the distance far away, They took in Roaring Brook And when in time, within our lake That brook let fall it's tears 1 The water soon poured o'er the dam
 Which had been dry for years. But still our people multiplied. Again the water fell Hence, on each side our watershed We ran a lengthy ell One ell was run to Panther swamp. Another to Plainville. With roofs which met through like canals And helped the lake to fill. And that the lake might hold in store The water which should come l We raised the dam some three feat more, And thought the job was done. l With water we have taken since l That job is well commenced. Iris like the worm which dieth not.
 The fire that is not quenched.

had been exposed to the foot and mouth malady which had broken out among the cattle ten days ago,
 some experts have been claiming that human beings could not contract the disease. but the Worcester case appears to disprove that theory There was a feeling that man might transmit the disease himself, that ac- counts for the precautions the veteri- narians take when they are inspecting cattle and also when they are slaugn- tering them. Some of the veteri- narians were of the opinion that other animals besides cattle and hogs might become infected and as a result dogs were killed. The latter act was ridiculous one, for the reason that dogs can be washed so as to kill all disease germs and there would be no fear that they would carry the disease because of having been ex- posed to it.
 If 1t is true that the two men in question have it then the disease may be even more dangerous than it was supposed to be. No efforts nave been made to effect a cure because just as soon as an animal is fpdnd to have it it is killed and burieX in quicklime. The infected hunazn beings will be treated and perhaps the physicians may learn some things about the disease that the veterinarians do not know.

The agreement of the humane in- stitutions committee to see the prop- erty which is recommended here for the Schools for Imbeciles, before a de- cision Is reached upon a new location for that institution indicates the right disposition and one thoroughly in ac- cord with the interest of the state. That this Is an important state schools cannot be questioned and 1t is ir recognition of the expansion which must come in connection with this work that it is apparent that the pres ent quarters at Lakeville are inade- Quate. The lack of room is already felt and the present location does not afford opportunity for any increase such as must be required in time. It Is therefore a good business policy to make a change and use such out lay as is necessary in the building of a new school rather than expending more money on plant which must within a few years be abandoned any, way.-Norwich Bulletin. -

Every little while we are told by some persons of prominence how cheap people live The latest state ment relative to economical living is credited to Harvard medical school man, who is said to have made the statement that a man can live on ten cents a day. All We have to say of any man can live as cheaply as that ne is nothing short of wonder We would like to see the man who made the statement try the ten-cents- per day diet for month.-Naugatuck News.

RESPONSIBILITY OF DETECTIVES


 The bomb throwers in St. Patrick s cathedral in New York are now set ting up the claim that it was the de- tective who inveigled them into the plot to destroy the cathedral and to kill some wealthy men and that 1t was he who contributed about sey- enty five per cent. of the labor in 1 making the bombs. They are also claiming that they should not be held wholly responsible for the act. This brings up the question as to how far a detective should go in obtaining evidence of another's guilt
 If the detective in this case had met two men innocent of any anar- chistic connections and induced them to put into practice the throwing of
 bombs, helped them to manufacture them and to throw them the situation
 would be different than the present one is understood to be. He would have accomplished no good purpose
 
 Der of anarchists and would have put
 into operation the work which he as policeman Is supposed to prevent. If on the other hand he came across nest of anarchists, noted their at titude and realizing their intentions he sought to capture them, then his oo<h ;c o 1jffoH1,,+ It is extremely dif1cult to obtain the necessary evidence in certain crimes in nnasa1rer not to arouse comment. It. will be remem bered that when the f1rebugs set fire to Horace Brown s
 barn Detective Nugent was with them when the match was applied. He l ity party to the incendiarism at that l particular time, not that he desired l the destruction of the building, but l because he wished to capture the fire
 dence to convict after the arrests
 Tn New York judges of the courts have drowned upon detectives induc. 1 ing the proprietors of saloons to vio ] late the liquor law on Sundays ano
 then have them arrested.
 l The facts have not come out ir l the bomb throwing case except ir
 such a manner as have been giver out by the accused. The detective
 story may be different. The accused are apt to say things, that may no 1 be true in an effort to escape punish ment. That has been done repeated l ly by men and even sometimes womel l when they have been accused o crime and see an opportunity to shif the responsibility onto the police
 their natural enemy. Evidence sucl
 as that, however, is not always ac
 cepted and it may not be in this case
 There are a number af people, how
 ever, who are anxious to hear tn
 facts in the case. It would be
 peculiar thing if it were the polio
 who made the bomb and advised tn
 throwing of it.
