Gates intellectually of a high degree,
and the blue eyes are wide apart and
deep set. The nose is small, straight,
and the nostrils express refinement;
the mouth is large. full-lipped, and the
teeth are large, regular and white. In
repose there is nothing striking in the
face, but when Mr.. Hughes becomes
interested in conversation he pos.
sesses a goodly smile and his eyes
suggest the strong. earnest man who
is confident Of his powers.
The rise of Charles Evans Hughes
was rapid and remarkable. Not many
years ago he was a practically IN
known lawyer. He had never been
politician. He had never joined in
campaign work. He had not been a
corporation lawyer. He was simply
a hard-working, hard-headed attorney
with moderate practice.
Mr.. Hughes took Office as governor
January l, 1907 He secured the pas
sage of laws placing public utility cor
porations under the control of state
public service commissions, stopped
race-track open gambling, and insti-
tuted notable reforms in the consid-
Grafton and conduct Of public affairs
at Albany.
Vetoes Over Two Hundred Bills
In his first year of office he vetoed
more than two hundred bills which
the legislature had passed, explaining
in each case his reasons for the veto.
AS q result the volume of legislation
was much decreased. and the quality
improved
Governor Hughes was the choice Of
the New York delegation to the 1908
national convention for
president. He was a leading possibil-
Ity for the vice-presidential nomina-
lion on the Taft ticket, but declined to
the proposition. In 1908 he
was renominated for governor and
again elected. He did not finish his
second term. On May 2, 1910, Presi-
lent Taft appointed him an associate

Traits Of Hughes Family.
Simplicity is the keynote of the
home life of Mrs. Charles E. Hughes
Her home is elegant but unpretentious
with quiet, restful presence which
makes the privilege of entrance one
to be courted. Mrs. Hughes is not in
any sense a clubwoman. She is deyot.
ed to her husband and family and has
little time to give to clubs and socie-
ties.
They are the parents OF the first
baby to be born in the executive man.
sion at Albany. Their children are, re-
spectively, Charles Evans, Jr., Helen,
Katherine and Elizabeth. They were
married in Brooklyn when Mr.. Hughes
was twenty-six years of age and four
years after he had graduated from Co.
lumbia Law school. There is a story
afoat that the young lawyer never
called at the home Of the then Miss
Antoinette Carter until after they were
engaged. When Mrs Hughes was
asked about it once she replied
evasively that she had known Mr..
Hughes for three years before they
were engaged.
Hughes Earned Big Fees.
Hughes was not obliged to wait very
long for this new dignity Of position
and such was his ability that ere long
all the more intricate portions of the
legal work Of the firm were trans
ferred to him. From the outset, Mrs.
Hughes. VINO is a graduate of Welles-
ley, and, of course, comes of a legal
family, was Of real assistance to her
husband in his career. Although
Hughes, when compared to many less
able legal lights has never been much
of money-getter. he was ere he had
reached his thirtieth year receiving
an income of $4,000 to $4,000 per
year.
Some Views by Hughes.
Il believe in work, hard work and
long hours of work. Men do not break
down from overwork, but from worry
and dissipation.
81 notice that most successful men
are those whose minds are always
cool, who, no matter how swift the
of their bodies, are able
to deliberate coolly and to produce
calm, sober judgment even under dis
turbing circumstances. 1t is not the
man who reaches the corner first who
wins, but the man who knows exactly
what he is going to do when he
reaches the corner.
Il regard a successful man as one
who has utilized to its fullest extent
he best ability in him. One man may
lave great ability as a money-maker;
hen he would be successful when he |
lad made much money. Another man |
nay have ability as an artist; he is |
when he has won fame by |
lis art. II man leaves any one of |
lis talents to lie idle be is not a sue
.essful man Mere money-making is a
)oor sort of success
MY views on religion are not what
most Of my church friends would re-
,ard as orthodox; in fact, have rath.
T free views, but recognize that we
AVE in the church the greatest con-
ervative force in our affairs, and if
or no other reason than this, | feel
hat it should be supported. There is
lot of cant about it. but it has a great
over for good. whether one agrees
r not with the teachings of its min
sters"

LEMONS.

Charter Oak people have learned
several things in the past year or So
One is that lemons cost money. wheth.
err they be in the form of lighting
plants made to sell, or air ships. 9th
err towns get these lessons also, but we
are not so much interested in those as
we are in the ones we bought. We
have bought the lemons, and the only
way to get out even is to stay in the
game. We are putting our light plant
into the efficient condition our engi.
neer should have given us at the start,
and we are going toywin out. 1t is
costing little more tran we thought
more than We safeguarding, but we
must either spend a little more mon
ey or lose what WE have put into the
thing. Wesmust have some kind of
lighting system, and the old gas plant
was worn out. Also with the boys
and the air ship. They have handed
a lemon that was fine and ripe-rip-
ened in the sun and hand picked-but
they see that they have got to go a.
head or lose out entirely. They have
ordered a new motor from New York
and they are arranging with local
woodworkers to replace the broken
parts. Then they will get busy them
selves and get the other things into
shape and they willrput upsan air ship
before the Fourth of July that will
make Mr.. Weeks and his muslin iliv-
YER look like two cents and a quar-
ter. They know the old boat will fly,
and the little accident they had show
ed them the weak spots in their ma
chine. All, these things are being cor
rected in a way to make the correc-
ton permanent, and the ship will be
the. best one in the state when they

they will be through before the real

GERMANS MUST WIN NOW
Victory Theirs BY Land This Year
Or Britain'S BY Sea Next Year,
Critic Writes

New York. March 10-The Sun
prints this morning the following
correspondence from London under
date of January 2:
This war will either be won def
nitely in 1916 by the Germans on land
or in 1917 by the British on the sea, -
is the opinion of Scandinavian
writer, noted publicist, who has
travelled for several months through
Germany and Austria studying con-
ditions there and who is now giving
his impressions in a series of articles
for the Secolo of Milan.
He says that it is untrue to state
that the German people are depress-
ed The contention of everybody in
Germany is that the war has been
carried on VIGOROUSLY hitherto, as is
proved by the position of the German
Army on enemy territory. But, this
argument notwithstanding, there is
everywhere in the Kaiser's dominions
vague sense of inquietude.
Germany. says the writer, began
the war with 100000 available men
BY December l, 1916, according to
the most moderate calculations OF
her daily and monthly losses, she
will have no more than 100000, in
Guiding the youths of the 1916 and
1917 classes, of which at least 1,OOO,-
900 will be required in the auxiliary
services.
Germany does not lack arms and
ammunition, it is true, but the people
are we'll aware of the feverish or
ganized activity and prevails in the al
lied countries, in America and in Jap
an. A German officer told the writer
quoted that the German Army owed
almost all it's successes to it's heavy
artillery. Now this advantage has
been lost.
In regard to the economic situation
i'm Germany the Scandinavian writer
gives several proofs that II 1t j. not
