Hints on Happiness.
Washington Post.)

Although the heights of audacious effort would seem to have beeDl reached some years since when a bold literary spirit perpetrated on an un- suspecting public a neat little bro- chure entitled How to be happy,
 though married" they are still at it.
 The latest in this line takes up the
 cudgels in behalf of lightsome laugh
 ter at the very beginning of the bright
 morning hours. According to this
 authority, you spring from your bed
 with a feeling of extreme exultation.
 Then you yawn, once, twice, even
 thrice Following this you smile
 pleasantly and capaciously at the four
 walls, the picture of Chauncey Olcott
 or Jess Willard over the mantelpiece,
 the gentle parting of the lips con- tinuing until the world is included in the comprehensive facial expansion and new inroads are made upon in terstellar space. This fixes you for the day. No good deed is impossi- bIe to the man, woman or child who starts out thus.
 At least that is what the smilist ana yawnist claims. But as the old Wo- man said of the doctrine of total depravity. only a few here and there have ever been found who could really live up to it as they should
 Gen. Grant, or another equally true and tried in his partisanship, observed on an occasion that the Democratic party could always be depended upon to do the wrong thing at the right time. One phase of the happiness hint above mentioned seems to con- tain the same element of hopeless ness. Why should yawning be placed it the beginning of the days work? At the close, when kine and other 'oolishly futile creatures are winding OCT the lea, opportunities Or yawning are found on every side. You can listen to Newpop interpret 4 he "goo goo" of his cherished off, A spring to mean more than Plato eve IM| )ondered or Horatio dreamed of ir rI LII his philosophies. The chap who las a sure prevention for flood dam M Lges will buttonhole you, fourteen ac-@ luaintances will settle the war in a fifty or two ardent zealots will prove but divergently, that here is very warm place hereafter or the wicked and that there isn't
 Under such circumstances yawn- ng comes easy. Occurring on the morning after it is usually significant f quite a time the night before. We would suggest yawns before retiring nd a smile the next morning as a nore wholesome routine were it not or the fact that hints on health and Iappiness are like symphonies by Robert Louis Stevenson-things to be acked to the wall and ignored ever fterward.

Berlin Papers Refuse to Take Sides-Result Will Not
 Influence Policy

Berlin, Nov. 3, 3:30 D. m., via Lon- don, Nov. 4. 12:11 a. m-The Ger man press shows considerable interest in the approaching American elec- tion, printing all available news ar irving by way of Holland or reprint ing summaries of the situation from old English newspapers. The Catho- lie organ, the Koelnische Volks Zei- tung today devoted a lengthy editor 1al to the subject but studiously avoided taking sides. If the German people at one time, it says, sided with one of the candidates because they assumed that he was more friendly to Germany, they now see their mis- take.
 The Frankfurter Zeitung also prints a leading editorial expressing the opinion that the outcome of the elec- ton is very much in doubt. It treats with great sympathy President Will sons program for eliminating war through a peace organization estab- lished through propaganda of the 1 eace ideas, but refrains from ex- pressing preference between candi- dates.

Reports That U-57 Will Meet Trader

 ARE SHY ON CASH
Are Not Willing to Give Odds on Hughes Despite Prevailing Fig
 ures-Might Bet Even.

Although Wall street is offering odds of 10 to ' on Hughes, there is nothing in this section of the country to indicate that any such betting is Justified Here in New Britain there is a dearth of Hughes money, and Wilson packers are finding it difficult to place bets at even money. One man who offered $500 on Wilson to- day had a hard time in getting his bet covered, and could get no odds. There is so much Wilson sentiment prevailing that the packers of the G. 0. F. candidate have evidently had an attack of cold feet and, while they are ready to shout to the high skies that Hughes has @ cinch, when it comes down to a proposition of cold dollars they are apparently among the missing.
 That this condition is general so far as New Britain is concerned was easily affirmed this morning by in terviews with the sporting element. It certainly appears on the face of things that New Britain voters are strong for Wilson, and Hughes followers are in grave doubt of the outcome of the nalioEa! election on Tuesday.

AUTO AND BARN BURN
Back fire from Engine Sets Fire to Motor Truck in Barn in Towers Lane-LOSs About S7OO.

Back-fring of the motor in an auto mobile truck owned by Joseph Quinto as he was working on it in his barn in Towers Lane, just off South Main street near Towers corner, set fire to the machine and the barn shortly after 10 o'clock this morning and the entire structure, the automobile and a wagon, together with some other arti cles of value, were totally destroyed. The loss is estimated to be about S70O.
 The fire was noticed by passengers on the 1O:10 trolley car out of Berlin and the motorman sped his car up the Sand Bank Hill to the fire alarm box, where a bell alarm was sounded. En- zine companies No. 1 and No. 2 re- sponded.
 As the barn was located some dis tance back from the road, it was nec- essary for the firemen to lay 700 feet of hose and the new junior pumping engine was used to force a stream of water to the blaze. The pump gave excellent service.

 Illinois is being claimed by the re- publicans on the ground that the progressives are all back she said. But the progressive women are not lack because they never belonged to the republican party. They had no vote four years ago and they went into the progressive movement on the pledges of social justice legislation. They are now choosing as their can didate the man who they believe has written into the law many of the tenets of social justice for which they have worked.''
