CORNER STONE CELEBRATION.

Twenty five years is not long peri
Cd in the history of any church, but it
is a long time for any religious or
ganization to be housed in one place
of worship, especially after three
quarters of a century of the vicissi-
tudes which had been the previous eX-
periences of the Trinity M. E. church
in New Britain which is now celebrat-
ing the silver anniversary of the lay
ing of the corner stone of its pretty
gray edifice on Main street. The his
torian tells it all in his story of the
growth and development of Method
ism in New Britain. It is an interest
ing history too but the great work of
a church will never be written because
no one can tell the sweet consolation
that religion ihnparts, the peace that
it brings to a human soul and the
piety ID devotion which it instills in
to the everyday life of those who prac-
tice it and which marks the happy
close of lifes journey for each and ALL
Religion is good for the individual, for
the government, for the country; it
does more and exercises a greater IN
fluence for good than all law, the ar
my and navy; it causes people to be
good, to be honest because they should
be and as they are in the great. ma
jority a little Thoughtful reflection will
convince the skeptic of the great part
it plays in our modern life.
Methodism does it's part and it
would be impossible to measure the
good influence that has been wrought
by the little granite church whose COR
ner stone was laid a quarter of GEN.
fury ago. Many of it's members have
passed away during this period, also
some of those who occupied it's pull
pit but others have come to take their
places and the membership is now
larger than it was then. 1t has bene-
fitted New Britain, it has made men
have derived spiritual strength from
it's teachings and it's influence to raise
their voices in it's praise, their song
would be heard by all who make I'D
our community and who are glad to
record and recognize the blessings of
religion.

stored to Health by VinOl.

Jackson, Miss. -"I am 8 minister Of
the gospel and had the grippe so badly
that l ached all over, flesh was sore,
had pains in my chest and back, no
appetite, was nervous and had stub
born cough.
81 tried different medicines without
benefit; finally a friend recommended
Vinol. l tried it and soon noticed an
improvement and continuing its use l
am entirely relieved of my troubles.
l have also used Vinol in my family for
chronic coughs and cold with the best
results. 30. w. CHILEs, jackson,
Miss.
Grippe leaves the blood in a thin
devitalized condition. 1t takes away
the appetite and leaves one weak, with
out energy and often in a dangerous
condition.
In order to restore the blood to a
healthy condition, iron must be supplied
in an easily assimilated form. We
guarantee this may be done by Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic,
which contains no oil. If you try it and
1t does not help you we will return your
money.

Dead Chum in WhcclbarrOW.
New York Herald

Prom enaders along knickerbocker
street, Paterson, n. j., smiled indul-
gently yesterday afternoon when Il
bare-headed boy, pushing q wheel
barrow in which lay another boy, hur-
ried past them. One of the promen-
aders, Mrs Samuel J. Ross glanced
curiously at the vehicle as she stepped
to the edge of the Sidewalk. Then she
screamed.
For the wheelbarroW and it's bur-
den were streaked with crimson stains
and each jolt of the clumsy vehicle
left q ragged trail Of red in it's wake.
At the woman's screams the boy, who
was George Everett, years old, of
439 knickerbocker street, dropped the
VIII eebarrow and fell across it with
loud sobs.
whats the matter?" Mrs. Ross de-
manded and the boy, with his hands
muffling his face, gasped:
II shot Mike QUAINT, my chum, and
I'm taking him to the hospital"
Then, before she could ask another
question, young Everett turned and
ran up the street Mrs. Ross SUM-
moned an ambulance, which carried
the boys body to st. Joseph's hospital,
where surgeons declared the boy dead.

"The Falling Home"
(NeW York Press. J

When women go into politics they
Will leave the home. The home will
be destroyed by the ballot and then
what will become of the American
people?"
1t is a dark picture. It was paint
ed by the hand of former cabinet
officer. A cabinet officer ought to
know what he is talking about, but
often he doesn't. Most of our ma
tional troubles go back to that abyss
between fought" and doesn't"
At the same time, this menace
should be gravely considered. Pic
ture the scene for yourself. Year
after year George Jones and his wife
have lived happily together, acquir-
ing home, piano and a family on
the installment plan. Morning ana
night they have looked into each
others eyes in trust and amity,
grateful for the past and hopeful for
the future.
But one dark day the legislature
gives Mrs. Jones the right to'vote. A
shadow falls across the Threshold
Less than two years ahead Is the
presidential election, q day which is
heavy with doom for this contented
family. AS the campaign progresses
they sit with clasped hands, discuss
ing the tariff in the cleaning, afraid
to speak of that fatal November day
when all their happiness will be as
ashes on their lips.
At last the day dawrs. Mrs. Jones
slips on hat and jacket and goes forth
bravely to make the sacrifice. She
l'stops in at the butchers to buy the
steak and on the way home goes
| unf1inchingly up to the polling place
and casts her ballot.
1t is done. She returns to find her
hearth deserted and her home made
desolate. Husband and children are
gone. Husband has gone fishing and
| the children to the neighbOrs. Yet
she bears up heroically. She has
saved the state even at the cost of a
| cold fireside and an abandoned home.
/ Also she has bought the steak. Her
| duty is done, as soon as she had
dGrned a few socks and cleaned up
| the house.
But it is all over When she
| stepped into that polling place the
American home came down like a
busted elevator.

LAST REPORT OF OLD
CORPORATIONS BUREAU
Submitted TO President Wilson,;
Various Su,j:CtS Discussed.

Washington, April 26.-Some of the
practices of nation wide associations
of manufacturers and dealers of farm
machinery are characterized as being
of doubtful legality, tending to limit
competition and increase prices, while
large part of them are held to be
proper for protection of legitimate
interests, in, a report by the old
Bureau of Corporations submitted
yesterday to President Wilson. The
report was drawn before the Bureau
was merged with the new Federal
Trade commission.
Almost every important manufac-
turer of farm machinery. the reports
saws, is a member of the National
Implement and Vehicle association,
while the dealers have organized the
National Federation of supplement
and Vehicle Dealers associations
which is composed of numerous state
and interstate associations. The two
organizations are national in scope
and work in close cooperation.
Manufacturers Efforts Reviewed.
Efforts of manufacturers to fix
wholesale prices, control of retail
prices concentrated control Of pa
transa ctions between manuTa cturers
and consumers, as we'll as efforts to
reduce costs of manufacture and dis
tribution, are reviewed at some length.
The fight of organized dealers against
competition of mail orders houses, the
Tending manufacturers even in the
reports says, has been carried to the
extent of efforts to have postal rates
revised to increase charges on pack
ages and to curtail advertising ia
cilities of mail order houses by per-
suading manufacturers who sell
advertisements.
The great problem of the dealers
associations. the investigators found,
was to find some lawful means of
keeping members informed of man
ufacturers who refuse to confine their
trade to regular dealers.
Refers to Black List
through leaders not to advertise in
while the organized dealers, dis
claim any intention of maintaining a
black list or of instituting a boy
colt against anyone" says the report.
ut is clear that if they he permitted
to disseminate information of this
character, those loyal to the principles
of their associations would refuse to
continue business relations with Of
absence of an express agreement to

Triumph entered the mouth Of the
straits and opened fire with her 10
inch guns on one of the Turkish
trenches on the western end of the
Gallipoli peninsula, at a range of 1000
yards. After half an hours bonn
bardment the ship proceeded farther
into the straits in order to search
the trench from another point. She
thus came under the fire of a howitzer
battery on the Asiatic shore.
This battery dropped about sixteen
shells around the Triumph in quar-
ter of an hour. Three shells struck
the ship but inflicted only trifling
damage. Two men-a stoker and Il
uejacket-were wounded severely.

Wooes With Fake Fortune.
(Portland Oregonian.1

Spurious letters indicating he had

of dollars on condition that he be
married by June 20 were used by
Webster A. Waugh, alas N. w. Nee
~, in profitable wooing, according to
several women, who say he obtained
from them cash advances in various
sums. Their complaints resulted in
the arrest of Waugh. He is held on a
minor charge, pending investigation
of the complaints of four women.
The Police say Waugh has con-
fessed he wrote the fortune letters
as an aid in the wooing he has under
way.
A telegram found on Waugh said
Uncle Paul dead. One-half of es-
tate of $250,000 is yours, provided you
marry and call at St. Francis hotel,
San Francisco, on June 20, 1915.

to marry and advise haste.

YOUNGEST HERO OF
WAR LAID AT REST
Austrian Youth of Ten Years Sue
cumbs to Wounds Received in
Battlc-AIourncd by Company.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
Vienna, April 26.-Jan Wisniewski,
aged ten, who died hero, has been
: buried with full military honors in
Maehrisch- Weisskirchen. He was
one of the youngest, If not the
youngest of the actual fighters in this
war.
JAMS home was in Rychwald, from
which he fed with his parents, Pol
ish peasants, when the Russians came
in December. The three were MAX
ing their escape in q wagon when q
piece of shrapnel killed his father and
mother.
Neighbours took him in. but his
childish mind clamored for revenge
and he waited only until it was night
to run away and join the Austro-
Hungarian forces The soldiers let
him in the trenches and soon made
him their favorite He was so small
that he could wiggle from one trench
to another with food, tobacco and the
like, without making much of a tar
get.
Last month when ammunition sud-
denly ran low during the midst of
vicious attack, and the fire was so hot
that it was out of the question to
make ones way to the ammunition
wagons, Jan begged in vain to make a
try for it, and, when he was refused,
made a dash for it.
He reached the train in safety, load
ed himself down with cartridges, and
began the return journey. A hun
dred feet from the trench the soldiers
saw him fall, struck by q piece of
shrapnel. While the men, regardless
of the fire, ran toward him. he worked
his way onward toward the trench
until he collapsed ten feet away.
When the battle was over Jan was
removed to the field hospital but his
wounds were too severe, however, for
him to survive them. He Is mourned
by his" company as no other men,
