FOUNDER

The first permanent settlement on the city of Hartford was established by the Rev. Thomas Hooker. who was born in Leicestershire, Eng, 3S0 years ago today. He was for a time a popu- lar non-conformist minister in Lon don, but was silenced, and later kept a school. In 1883 he arrived in Bos- ton, and was ordained pastor of the Newtown church. In the Summer of 1886 the clergyman with his whole congregation migrated to the Connec- ticut valley. where they founded Hart ford. The settlement was first named after their former home. but in 1887 it was changed to Hartford. in honor of the birthplace in Eng land of the Rev. Samuel Stone, one of the most influential of the early set- tiers. In 1889 the people of Hartford and neighboring communities gather ed in Hartford and adopted the first written American constitution, from which circumstance the Connecticut capital has been called 'the birth place of American democracy" The Rev. Thomas Hooker died in the town he had founded in 1647.

SWEETHEARTs QUARREL

A. F. writes: T am a girl of 20, good looking. Kept company two years. Engaged. Young man and T quarreled. He gave me diamond ring and many beautiful presents. Is it proper for me to return ring and pres- ents? Tells he loves me only. Is il permissible to exchange kisses if en- gagged? Is 1t possible he may be won back?"
 Hope you are reconciled now. If long absence seems parting forever, time enough to offer ring and gifts returned. Lovers quarrels are soon patched up.

INDEX FOR RECIPES.

The day of the fashioned cook book is on the wane. In the first place, most cookbooks are filled to overflowing with a lot of recipes that no housekeeper wants and that few housekeepers can afford to follow.
 In its place. especially since so many newspapers and publications print good recipes daily, has come the card index of cookers.
 The new plan saves time, space and annoyance. In the first place. it does not require you to keep recipes for anything you, don't like. Again, you don't have to thumb through a book for what you want, and then, when you do find it, prop the book open on the kitchen table while you labori- ously follow it's directions.
 A small filing case of pasteboard, filled with cards, can be had for as low as 35 cents. Write each separate recipe on a carl or paste it on if clipped from periodical. and file the cards under the proper head, such as soup, roast, fish, potatoes, etc.
 All you have to do is run through your index, find the proper card and use it. Simple, isn't it?-Chicago Herald.

Frank Brett Moves, the president Euf the Associated Press and the pulp ltsler of the Washington Star. was born In Washington fifty-three years ago today. July q. 1863. MT. Moves has been the president of the great news gathering Organization since 1900, and he was a member of the executive committee for several years prior to his elevation to the presi- dency.

PUT WILSON ON c. Q. P. TICKET.
Presidents Name Was Written on
 Ballot in Nebraska Primaries.


 An indication of Republican friend Illness to President Wilson is found in the fact that all over the country in the Presidential primaries his name frequently was written on the Repub- lican ballot in the place of the Re- publican candidates. The following is an excerpt from a letter received from Omaha, Neb.:
 "In canvassing the vote. however, it was noticed by myself and the other members of the canvassing board that in nearly every precinct in 4he coun- ty the name of Woodrow Wilson was written on the Republican ballot as candidate for President. We have 124 districts in this county and T believe that the districts would average four or five each of such votes written in for Woodrow Wilson"

WAR AND WHISPERS

Swords cannot be successfully used as razors. Such being the case, it fol- lows that the festive and luxuriant whisker is coming into its own again in Europe. The Russians who have always been much given to the culti- vation of facial foliage. definitely laid down the razor when they took up the sword, and 1t is said that if the war lasts much longer the soldiers of the Czar will be able to use their whiskers as a substitute for barbed-wire en- The Germans and the French put up a brave fight against the chin decorations for time, but it is said that the whiskers now have the upper hand, and that a majority of the men on both sides of, the Franco German front are now the owners of more or less luxuriant hirsute ap- pendages. It is only in the British camp that anything like a firm stand has been made against the ravages of the whisker. Tommy may be, and usually is, bit scraggy about the face when he issues from his particular hole in the ground, but about his first thought, when he goes back of the lines for a rest, is to seek the services of a barber or hold private session with the safety razor. If the war con- tinues a year or two longer, however. even Tommy may give up the battle with the hairy foe, and submit to the inevitable chin growth. In all times the whisker has been one of the hor- TOTS of war. Anything like a long con- flict always brings out the cheek fern and the chin foliage. This may have been a wise provision of nature in the days when ton or so of hay sus- pended from the chin might stop a spear thrust or defect an arrow, but even the bushiest of whiskers give no protection against bullets or shrapnel

TODAY'S POEM
THE BELEAGUERED CITY.

I have read. in some old. marvellous
 tale,
 Some legend strange and vague. That midnight host of specters pale
 Beleaguered the walls of Prague. Beside the Moldau's rushing stream.
 With the wan. moon overhead. There stood. as in an awful dream
 The army of the dead. While as the sea-fog. landward-bound,
 The spectral camp was seen. And. with a sorrowful. deep sound,
 The river flowed between. No other voice nor sound was there.
 No drum. nor sentry's pace: The mist-like banners clasped the air,
 As clouds with clouds embrace. But when the old cathedral bell
 Proclaimed the morning prayer, The white pavilions rose, and fell On the alarmed air. Down the broad valley fast and far
 The troubled army fled; Up rose the glorious morning star, :.
 The ghastly host was dead. I have read. in the marvellous heart of
 man, That strange and mystic scroll, That an army of Phantoms vast and wan Beleaguered the human soul. Encamped beside Life's rushing stream, In Fancy's misty light. Gigantic shapes and shadows gleam Portentous through the night. W Upon it's midnight battle-ground The spectral camp is seen, And, with a sorrowful. deep sound, Flows the River of Life between. No other voice nor sound is there, In the army of the grave: No other challenge breaks the air. But the rushing of Lffe's wave. And when the solemn and deep church bell, Entreats the soul to pray. The midnight phantoms feel the spell, The shadows sweep away. Down the broad Vale of Tears afar The spectral camp is lied; Faith shineth as a morning star, Our ghastly fears are dead. -Longfellow.
