being held by the state pending final
outcome Of the case which oil COM

asked that rehearing be given on

Smoke Without Powaer.

Once in college town-some soy it was Brunswick, Me.-the rumor that students were carrying concealed weapons reached the ears. of the local police. The chief at once issued stringent orders that the heiuous prac- tice should be stopped. One day a group of them passed policeman, and one of tue students in so doing pat his hand to his hip pocket. Then, ss If recollecting himself in time, he hastily withdrew it and looked sheepishly At @he policeman.
 What have you in that pocket ff the latter asked sternly
 Instead of answering, the student sud all his companions, as if panic. stricken, started to run. After chase all the students were coInered and ordered to deliver mp whatever they had in their hip pockets.
 Weekly they obeyed. Each one car- ried corn cob. The remarks of the policeman cannot possibly be recorded.

Letters From the People
President CoIIey Confesses.

To the Editor of The News:
 Sir: All that you said in recent editorial about Waterbury is true. Like Charity, Waterbury vaunteth itself and is puffed up. For many years we had listened to the fulsome claims of the New Haven school of kultur. the delirious yawps of the yaps in Bridge port and the contemptuous sneers of Hartford, whose prosperity is due to death, fire and accident and what she can get by way of State appropriations for public buildings.
 loft, and again we shed a private tear, And wept in silence lest the world
 might hear, '
 or something like that from the works of A. Pope Then it occurred to us that it pays to advertise. So much money had been spent Ill advertising the Waterbury watch that there was nothing left 10 do business with, and yet Waterbury was known in parts of the world where no other Connecticut city had been heard of We began where the watch left off, at the end of it's nine foot spring.
 Now what has been said about Water bury, in its business of advertising, that isn t true?
 We claimed a population of S5,000, and few weeks ago the authorities down in Washington affirmed the decis- ion.
 That was few weeks ago however. and we are now claiming 90,000 city that cant grow 5000 in five weeks is no good.
 We did venture to advertise a little at a meeting of the State Chamber of Commerce, and were sorely grieved when member from your section wanted to know, Where Il hell's ?"
 Quite appropriate that the Bald Head Club of America" should have been started in Canaan. It will not be long now before Canaan will have a cabaret of it's own So that its prominent citizens will not find it necessary to journey to Great Burlington.
 With Winsted on one side, aud Great Burlington on the other, Canaan must be good, and if slie can't be good, be. careful.
 But we love Canaan, and all the people in it, and without exception we think Canaan is the prettiest town in O. A, Colley,

Your Mother.

No one else may ever care if you have
 a broken heart; No one else may, if you err, be in
 clined to take your part; When fair weather friends forget and
 when fortune smiles on more She will think you worthy yet, and be
 faithful as before. No one else may ever see all the fine
 things you have done; No one else may know, but she will
 perceive them, every one, Others may belittle you, but with
 gladness i'll her breast, She will win her triumphs through
 those by which you may be blessed. No one else may be inclined to forgive
 you if you fall; If your hopes must be resigned nc. one
 else may weep at all; But if all else turned away and your
 soul with sin were black, She would never fail to pray every day
 to win you back. -S. E. Riser.

Smile.

 Like bread without the spreadin', Like puddin' without sauce, Like mattress without beddin', Like cart without a hoss, Like door without latchstring, Like fence without stile, Like dry an badden creek bed Is face without smile. Like house without a dooryard, Like yard without flower. Like clock without handspring, That will never tell the hour; A thing that sort o'makes yo' feel A hunger all the while Oh, the saddest sight that ever was Is face without, a smile! The face of man was built fer smiles, An there by he is blest Above the critters of the field, The birds an all the rest; He's jest little lower
 Than the angels in the skies, An the reason is that he can smile; Therein his glory lies So smile an don't fergit to smile, An smile, an smile az in; Twill help loosen up the cords O. care An ease the weight O sin: Twill help yo' on the longest road, An cheer yo' mile by mile; An so, whatever is your lot
 Jes' smile an smile, an smile!

 From January until May The rain, it raineth every day And keeps right on, you must remember, Till hail and Snow comes in December. E So sang poet. years ago And surely, poets ought to know, And farmers, too. can always tell When there is quite a miny spell That makes cen watermelons shrink From having quite so much to drink. Still let's be cheerful though the hay From off the earth is swept away. And all the land should be a'wash I'm one great universal splosh, There will be 'taters. squash and sich To feed the poor, and idle rich; Yet should the rain keep on until The loosened soil begins to spill From off the world Like concrete mud, Pouring through space n slimy flood, We'll cheerful stand these awful shocks IT but the rain will leave the rocks On which, bedragged. we will cling, Till this wet spell has had its fling. For food, there's pebbles we can boil And wash them down with Standard Oil,
 Or water; for HOW don't you think This world will ever want for drink

Government Quarantine ReguIations

Government Quarantine Regulations.
 Recent orders of the Department of Agriculture released the states of Con- necticut and Rhode Island from quar- antine for the foot and mouth disease. The same order frees the state of Kansas and West Virginia, and more territory in the state of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Illinois.
 In Massachusetts the quarantine has been raised from Plymouth and Wor- cester counties and leaves only the Brighton Stock Yards and Abbatoir under quarantine. Only three coun- ties in New York are now under quar- antine.
 At the present time, with the excep- tion of number of stock yards which are limited to handling animals for slaughter, the territory which still re- mains under quarantine in the United States for this disease which spread so rapidly. over the country last fall is limited to three counties in New York, certain portions of Hudson County, New Jersey, two counties in Pennsyl- vania and portions of four counties in Illinois. The Department of Agricul- ture hopes that it will be possible soon to remove these last reminders of the disease.

Did We, or Did We Not ?

To the Editor of The News:
 Did we really acquire entire inde- pendence i'll 1776? I had always sup posed that at the time of our disagree ment on the tea question in Boston Harbor, and other matters of national interest, and after peace was declared after the Revolution, as well as few other little scraps, was decided between this country and England, that we had finally cowed the British lion, and that we were really free and independent nation and capable to conduct our busi- ness and manage the governmental affairs of this Yankee nation. But how is this? It seems that 1 have been mistaken in regard to our boasted free dom, for the way things have been managed lately between this country and England, she has string on this country yet, and she seems to consider that she is still the walking boss and the floor manager of this Yankee land of Freedom. How is this :? l wish some reader of Tne News would ex. plain this matter.

According to New Haven letter in the Hartford Times the republican pad dock is crowded with dark horse candi- dates for the gubernatorial nomination, and the more prominent names men, 6oned in this connection are the fol- lowing:
 Governor Holcomb.
 Ex-Governor Frank B. Weeks.
 Frank E. Healy, speaker of the
 last house.
 Lieutenant, Governor Clifford B.
 Wilson.
 Ex-Lieutenant- Governor Blakes- lee.
 John P. Elton, of Waterbury.
 Judge of Probate John l.. Gil
 son, of New Haven.
 Comptroller Morris 0. Webster,
 of Harwinton.
 The New Haven writer asserts that in spite of the popular superstition that August is an off month in poli tics,'' there is really something doing along the line of grooming. He says: ssThe state republican machine is very much interested in politics at this moment, even if Chairman Roraback, \, it's modest but influential manager, has gone fishing and says he knows noth- ing about politics-as usual, " and that the engineers of the machine are watch, ing the progress of the fall campaigns in a few of the cities, notably in Bridgeport, to see what effect they will have on state politics next year.
 By wireless communication with the J. Henry Roraback summer camp al Twin Lakes, The News, in response tt inquiry concerning the above New Haven story, learns that the perch hay, stopped biting, and that as result O the recent heavy rains the dust al along the shore has been "laid, ant the lakes are completely wet through Aside from that the atmosphere is much clearer than it would be if il were otherwise.
