A VALUED VISITOR.
What Newspaper Ought to Mean in
the Home Circle.

From the Hartford Courant.
southern editor recently drew
graphic pen picture on the editorial
page of mis- newspaper of what the
weekly visit of his fathers favorite
newspaper meant to that home in CEN
trail Georgia in the old days. The
ia ther of the man who wrote the arti-
Gle used to sit late into the night going
over the columns of the paper, that
had brought light and comfort to the
home far away from the centers OF
population. The lessons drawn in this
little sermon on the general influence
and value of newspapers in home are
as applicable to a northern audience as
to the one in Georgia.
The paper arrived on SATURDAY ar
ernoon and its coming was looked for
ward to with the keenest pleasure ana
interest. After the supper was over
the father took the small weekly jour
nal and read every word of IT to his
family, commenting on the different
articles and digestng the whole AFFAIR,
advertisements and all. before he al
lowed the members of his family to go
to their beds The mother sat knit
ting, the writer of the editorial piled
wood on the fire, the cat appeared to
enjoy the spectacle from a distance
and the paper therefore nodded the
opinions OF the whole 1amlly-cdl anu
all
All this applies to the daily visit of
a newspaper into the homes of Con-
necticut today. A newspaper cannot
enter a home every day in the year
without leaving its impression; infiu-
ences are started there by that news
paper that are liable to remain through
life in the minds and in the actions of
those who read it. The life current of
the people who come under its minis
trations, whether they be old or young.
are always liable to be changed by this
silent visitor. No one could make
those regular visits, as does a newspa-
per- without leaving an impression on
the persons in the home; and the news
paper probably molds public opinion at
the present day as it did in Georgia
back in 1870 more than any other
agency.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that a
family that has read any one newspa-
per for many years should feel the
greatest affection for it, inhale the
spirit of it's policies, hold friendly at
titude toward its utterances and con-
tinually consider it the most welcome
visitor that enters the home. This all ,
means that the daily or weekly news
paper should be careful visitor, and
that it's influence there should be of a
type to create such a memory as the
southern newspaper did in the little
home in Georgia.

TOO Much johnson, -

That highly "tropicar' farce, TOO
Much Johnson" which will be the Of
fering of the Poll Players next week,
is the work of William Gillette, the
famous actor and playwright, and pro-
vides two and a half hours of almost
continuous laughter.
The adventures of Mr.. johnson" are
numerous and varied. One Billings has
assumed this name to carry forward
clandestine meetings with the wife of
Cuban importer who is much away
from home. Billings has told his fam
lily that he is the owner of a ranch In
Cuba. and, as is inevitable. the time for
showing that ranch to his wife and
m other-in-law comes. Incidentally the
importer becomes aware of the situa-
ton and goes in search of the gentle
man in question
The play opens on board a steamer
leaving New York for Havana. and is
continued for two acts on the farm
near San Diego. with new and ludi-
crous situations following one another
in rapid-fire order.

"Franklin was a master of the hoax,

that as It was we'll known there could

let out the darkness.

that If he had not been awakened so

and in exchange have lived six hours
