Children should be cautioned about running in front of machines and also playing in the streets that are busy with vehicular traffic, for while most drivers are careful, even the careful ones cannot prevent accidents when the children are running wild about the streets. dodging in and out between the cars and otherwie taking foolish chances.

The modern method of selling char coal in paper bags has greatly in- creased its price, as it s7s its popular ity. and it is likely that more of the Gweliers in the small towns will be- come producers of charcoal Any kind of wood can be used, whether it be hard or soft, straight or crooked, or knotty, for. once turned to charcoal. 1t can readily be broken into Jumps and one burns as well as another. The production of charcoal is probably one of the oldest occupations in the world. and the method of production has suf- fered little change through the cen turies. As the price of fuel is increas- ing rapidly the production of charcoal is likely to grow. It seems probable that Connecticut will have wood and turf for a long time and wood and turf are the only raw materials used in the production of charcoal. - Hartford Courant.

The primary returns from Massachu- setts, where the Roosevelt followers have been we'll organized and well financed, indicates that there is very little hope for the capture of the re- publican nomination by the doughty colonel. He shows no formidable ac- sessions to his strength over that of four years ago, and that is not enough to enable him to win in the republi- can convention Other straws indicate that he is losing the strength he had in the west, and that if he should force the issue, there is nothing be- fore him but a humiliating defeat The republicans this year want man on whom all factions can unite, one who can deliver the full vote of the party, It is becoming increasingly obvious that Roosevelt is not that man. If he runs at all it must be as a progressive .-Ansonia Sentinel.

At that period the historian wrote: Every year is adding importance to the navigation Of the Thames, not only in the interests of Norwich, but as an avenue to the manufacturing districts beyond Norwich.
 During a large part of the year. when the channel is unencumbered with ice, the river and the wharves are lively with business. Sloops and schooners are continually discharging freight. Large quantities of iron, coal cotton, wool rags, etc, are required by the manufacturers in and around Nor wich. and a still greater quantity is conveyed through the place to be dis tributed on the northern routes The article of coal alone is of great i'm portance, an immense amount passing up the river, to be transported to Wor- cester and other points in the interior THE DTCTAGRAPH.

WHALING AND STEAMBOAT DAYS

CWritten Specially for The Bullletin.)
 Early in 1900 Norwich shipbuilders built several big craft designed for whaling, among others the Connectt- cut. in 1921, and the Chelsea, in 1927, ships of 3S6 tons burder, and owned by T. w. Williams of New London.
 From 1882 to 1885 two whale ships and -a-sealing schooner were fitted out from Norwich. The ships were the Boston, 291, and the Atlas, 261 tons. After one or two voyages they were transferred. the former to New Lon don and the latter to Mystic.
 Interesting records of that time show that in 1882 Captain Walter Lester made a voyage all the way to Bremen chartered the ship Boston for the same port, and went himself in her as pas senger, taking a part of his family with him. He sailed March 30th. His return is thus noted in the marine lists of the day: Levi Cone, 50 days from Bremen. with iron to Lester & Co.,, Norwich; pas sengers, Capt Walter Lester, lady and daughter; MT. Louis Mangler, of Ger many, and 112 in the steerage.
 The Boston, a ship of 2e1 tons, as- cended the river without difficulty and with the tide in her favor came ma jestically with her lading to the wharf. It was the first instance of direct in tercourse with Europe after the war of 1872.
 No other merchant ship appeared in the port for the next twenty-six years.
 During June, 1859, the barque Sam uel MoXey, from Mobile, Capt. Joseph Holm master, having discharged a DOT tion of her cargo in New York, came up the Thames, and drawing but five and a half feet of water, ascended cas- fly to the wharfage.

As a matter of fact, he is much
 more than compensated. He is ridicu-

 No one can criticize Chaplin for taking all the managers offer. The
 only appropriate criticism is of Q pub lie taste disposed to elevate to the
 worlds summit of financial reward a comedian merely able to accomplish such slap-sticIl and often vulgar an tics as will make iow-brOws laugh. Amusement is a real and legitimate craving of humanity. Amusement is not, however, the supreme concern of our existence, and the purveyors of it should not hold the first place in hu- man regard. Man is not to go mourn | ing all his days, but neither is he to go grinning. Tt is to laugh" is no motto for a worthy life.

Secretary of State Burnes violated the traffic rules in Danbury and was halted by the police. When the officer learned his identity he was profuse in his apologies, the news despaches say, and the autoist was allowed to pro- ceed. Had it been plain Jim Jones who did what the secretary did he would undoubtedly have tasted the sweets of Danbury justice. Is Mir Burnes any better in the eyes of the law than "Jones?" Traffic rules are laid down to protect the public. and il is up to the secretary of state to ob- serve the law just as much as the ordinary individual. He is in his of. ice by the desire of the majority oi the people, but he is no tin idol to bC worshipped by a traffic cop. We dc not believe that MT. Burnes knowing. ly violated the law, but we do know that the apologies of the officer whS was simply doing his duty were un. | called for.-Norwalk Hour.

The Norwich & New Yorq Transpor- tation company was organized under the General Act in 1860. Its capital was S350,000. Capt. Joseph J. Com stock of New York was the first presi- dent, succeeded in 1863 by David Smith of Norwich. Augustus Brewster was treasurer and P. St. M. Andrews sec retary from the beginning.
 This company was formed for the purpose of facilitating the operations of the Norwich & Worcester Railroad company, by furnishing an advantag- eous connection with New York. Il was indebted for its origin, organiza- tion and subsequent success chiefly to the president of the railroad. Angus tus Brewster, who, as treasurer of the company, was the general agent and efficient manager of the business from 1860 to 1896, when he resigned the office.

As we are approaching the season of boating, bathing and swimming acci- dents there Is a call for prepared ness" in what makes for fewer fatali- ties in these lines. The first thing of course is to learn to swim, and that may be taken as the foundation course in the preparatory school. And yet ev- cry year there are strong swimmers drowned who, had they not relied too much on their ability to take care of themselves on or in the water. would not have run the risks that proved their undoing. No amount of skill and strength will always serve a man who incurs danger recklessly, and need of care, the application of the rule oi safety first" is always advisable.

The Norwich e New London Steam
 boat company was organized in 1S4S,
 with a capital of $200. 00.00o-something of a starter, we would think, even in
 our own enterprising times! Henry B. Norton, a name long asso-
 ciated with honorable business enter prises in ancient Norwich, was presi- dent of the company. This line ran its boats in connection with the Norwich
 & Worcester railroad, the terminus be- ! ing Allyn's Point.
 Among the boats employed were the Cleopatra, Norwich, Worcester, and Connecticut. The Commonwealth was
 built for the company in 1855 and sold | in 1860, about which time the company
 discontinued operations, wound up its affairs and was dissolved

A mans talk should never be taken as evidence of his persistence or his courage. If it could be so taken there would never have been a proverb that actions speak louder than words" MT What-Fd-do has been a blusterer from birth, and there Is no doubt he Is over five thousand years old, and he is likely to be clustering five thousand years hence. Man does things because of deep seated principles, or because his motives compel him to. The ex- igency which requires his services re- quires a prompt response. MT. What Pd-do seldom does what he thinks he would. His impulses are all woody,
 and his voiced resolution is usually hot air. The art of doing things has | never been advanced by talk. It takes | perception to progress, and progress 1 needs no heralds with trumpets. If l our irrepressible Colonels, Roosevelt and Bryan, talked less they would measure up better as Americans. Free
 speech is a desirable privilege, but to
 be too free with speech is to increase | our perils.
