WHAT A YOUNG MAN SAW.
And What He Did Not See Because
of the Women's Big Hats.

A young man, good friend of
ours, recently visited the picture
show, having paid his good dime to
see the pictures.
But he is out of pocket ten cents
and, while an interesting picture was
thrown upon the screen, our young
friend failed to see the picture.
He tried honestly enough, but his
efforts were unavailing.
"Blind?" you say. Not so. Nor is
he dumb, nor is he deaf. He has
two good eyes, and a mind
of more than ordinary intelll-
gence, but in spite of all his gifts and
his honest effort to see, he could not;
and finally left the place in disgust.
What was the matter? Nothing
more than frequently happens to one
at any private gathering view
was obstructed by big hats-big Ia
dies hats-that is the hats were
large. not the ladies, for it frequent
" transpires that the smaller the
LADY the bigger the hat she dons.
It is something amusing to see one
of these big hats fiat in like ship in
full sail, deliberately cast anchor just
in front of you and seem to say: "See
me! it's worth ten cents" The only
trouble about it is that one may Vlslt
a millinery store and see dozen
without charge. 1t is also possible
for one to take his stand on the
street corner and view these ships as
they navigate our streets.
This is not so bad, especially "nen
the commodious ship frequently car
~ a pretty face. But who cares to
ha confronted with mountain OF
feathers, felt, straw, ribbon and BAN
ners when beyond these creations OF
the milliner is the object one desires
TO see-has paid good money TO see
And the unconcern of the dear ID
dieSi Ino utIei ihuiiAo
manifest in the matter! 1t IS some
thing amazing, and so amazingly sell
fish.
We do not hope to bring about a
reform in this matter, but mercy
register the complaint. 1t is dan
gerous thing to meddle with a "o-
mans headgear. If she wlsnes 70
nut mighty ship on her head and
come to anchor just in front OF your
range of vision, you must stand IT.
Be a gentleman, and jump to give
up your seat to the ladies; accept tne
blocked range vision and keep your
tongue turned to say pleasant Things;
But it is a big job to do this, little as
one may think of it.
We respectfully suggest TO our
lawmakers the wisdom of passing a
law limiting the diameter OF ladles
hats to one yard. That would help
q little. They might, while they are
at it. limit the length and NUMBER Oh
feathers, yards of lace and ribbon TO
some reasonable number-say one
hundred feathers and Thousand
nords of ribbon. That might help
some: but we do not feel very con-
fident OF it.-Union Times.

THE SHOVEL.
It's Importance in War is Next TO the
Rifle.

Next to his rifle, every soldier val
,,ae most Of all his intrenching tool
which consists of small wooden
handle. not quite two feet long, ano
a detachable iron crosspiece, with
nick at one end and a sharp, mar
row spade at the other. Men cling
tn their intrenching tools when they
have had to discard nearly every
other article of equipment. A man
without an intrenching tool feels tna'
he is of rather less value as SOL
dier than if he had no uniform. WITH
ont this little pick and spade ne
must lie out in the open after an ao-
vance. instead of scraping for himself
a little mound for cover.
When there is any movement IN
the lines most of the 1ntrenchlng
work is done with these little tools
II is only when position has been
solidly won and is to be occupied
more or less permanently that large
hicks are brought up and put in use
A soldiers letter tells about Brit
ish regiment that boasted they dlo
not dig. s'It was very gallant regl-
ment." he writes, with large share
in the battle honors of Britain's past
wars. They had charged at Balak-
lava; they had fought in every cor
ner of the globe. But they had not
been taught to dig; it was beneath
them. They were nominally caval-
ry- regiment, with cavalry regl-
ment's foolish idea of caste.
"And here is what happened to
them not far from Mons: The regl-
ment had been rushed into gap to
cover the flank of an infantry brl-
gade. Because they were dismount-
ed, an infantry officer offered them
some friendly advice, urging them to
provide themselves with some kind OF
cover. But they laughed, took their
positions and lay down in the open
We won't dig they boasted proudly
Poor gallant fellows-i0 minutes
later battery found them and spray
ed them off the face of the earth as

bush by the gardeners spray

RIGHT TO DESIGNATE METHOD
important Question of Jurisdiction ts Be Fought Out in Courts-Peti. ton Over New Tracks in
 East hartford.

Special Hartford Correspondence.
 Hartford. litigation is promised. as the result of an opinion given out by the public utilities com mission. in which it assumed complete jurisdiction over every street railway in the state and that it had the right No designate the method of reconstruc ton and the materials to be used by tie street railway company operating even within the territorial limits Of the Connecticut River Bridge and Highway District. The opinion was a clear-cut answer to the claim made by the Connecticut River Bridge and Highway District commission that t had jurisdiction over a petition of the Connecticut Company asking for the approval of proposed method of the Connecticut Boulevard in East Hartford. Soon after the opinion had been given, Lewis Sperry, for the bridge commission, filed notice of an appeal to the superior court. Accord ing to the opinion of the public uti- ities commission, the public acts of 1901 gave the railroad commissioners, which the public utilities commission succeeded, exclusive jurisdiction over the method of construction in whole, or in part, of every street railway in the state with the necessary authority oyer such incidental matters as desig- hating the kind of materials to be used. This act, says the opinion. is enthusiastically clear in its terms and leaves no opening for the olain that ary part of a line of street railway within the state is excluded from it's provisions. 'The public utilities act of 1911 transferred the authority Of the railroad commissioners to the util- ities commission" according to the opinion. which says: There is ap- parently, therefore, good reason for believing that this commission has the right to designate the method of reconstruction and the materials to be used by the street railway com pany operating even within the ter ritorial limits of the Connecticut River Bridge and Highway District"
