Your Corner.

Don't you like yourlittle corner of the
 world?
 Have you sweetened it with sun
 shine and with song? Have you tried to make it brighter
 as you have toiled.
 Have you tried to right it's sorrow
 and it's wrong? Do you think it's just the finest spot
 you know,
 And the noblest spot for effort that
 could be? Have you made it shed around
 brighter glow?
 Have you tried to help the rest of us to see? Are you happy in your station and your time, And contented with the way that things go on; Have you made the little corner round you chime, Does 1t sparkle with the dewdrops in the dawn? Do the thousands that go marching on their way
 Stop to smile before the beauty that you've brought From the chaos and the turmoil of the fray By a little friendly purpose and sweet thought? Don't you like the little corner He has given For your gladness and your use and your delight? ! Have you made 1t just a little nearer | Heaven, 1 Have you turned it from its dark ness and it's night? 1 Tt,s your corner and 1t ought to be l so fine | No other corner anywhere could glow l With the beauty and the gladness and 1 the shine
 That your special little corners S 1 learned to know. Baltimore Sun.

At the conclusion of the hearing in the case of the Amalgamated Prop critics of Rhodesia dimited) against the Globe and Phoenix Gold Mining Company Nimited), MT. Upjohn, K. C., concluded his speech for the de- fendants, having addressed the court for forty-1ve days, the hearing hav- ing occupied one hundred and forty four days in all. He said he was not sure whether he ought not to apologize for the length of time he had occupied, but he felhthat he could not blame himself. He had more than 1000 questions and answers to go through, 5000 pages of printed evidence, and 256 exhibits. Tn read ing, noting and syntheszing the case for the purpose of placing 1t before the court he had occupied eighty four days, not to speak of the work done by the other counsel for the de- fendants.
 Justice Eve said Mr. Upjohn's great speech was bound to provoke a great deal of criticism because of it's length. But, having listened to every word of that speech, he was we'll qualified q to offer an opinion upon 1t, and he wished to express his appreciation of 1t as an example of unwearying in dustry.

"Treasury ROmances'' (The Philadelphia Inuuirer)

Part of the touching literature of the war is a little tract that has just appeared in London of quasi-official inspiration named Treasury Ro- nance" James Douglas, who has compiled it, explains that often the patriotism of those who give to Brit aims war fund is "buried five fath- oms deep in the Treasury flles" He has brought to light with reticence and discretion a few typical instances of sacrtf1cial loyalty. Here, for ex- ample, is a miner who sang at seven- teen workmen's club and inns flor the benefit of the war;" and thus gath cred in driblets twenty pounds. An old woman writes 1T have much pleasure in sending you the pound" i" which leads the compiler to add, Her particular and probably her only pound." A child of seven sends a shilling, poor man transmits nine pence. From lonely Tanning Island, in the South Seas, come two contribu- tions from natives of the Gilbert Is- lands at work there. A donkeyman aboard a ship bringing meat from Australia writes at the close of an i'm passioned letter: Do do not mind the grammar. Grammar does not count as a rule with gentlemen. I 1nclose a pound as a start" And so it goes. The imperial hope of Eng land is in such hearts as these.

constantly in the minds of the people, With MT. Cummings, it is different. His name Is we'll known. but his ac- t1vtues have kept him in other parts of the state and in other parts of the country. The meeting last night proves that the people want to know this talented son of Connecticut who has taken such an active part in af- fairs of nationwide interest. Homer 5.

CAN'T BE DEBATED.

When the preliminary arrange ments for a debate between Senator
 George P. Mclean and his opponent
 Iomer s. Cummings, were under way
 1t was charged that the management
 oc the Stamford candidate merely
 sought publicity; that the name of
 Mclean was used as a drawing card.
 Commenting on the whirlwind tour
 Of the state being made by MT. Cum
 rntngs some newspapers pointed out
 that the voters were slow to warm
 up to the man seeking the senatorial
 toga, that small crowds came out to
 see and hear him. This was un- doubtedly true in small towns where there were no large crowds to be as- scmbled. In the larger centers of population MT. Cummings has found no difficulty in rounding up goodly gatherings of men anxious to hear his views. He did not need to travel on | the popularity of Senator Mclean, l nor does he rely on what crowds the l Senator can bring out. The debate | was not arranged for that purpose. | It was brought about simply to have | the issues in this campaign clearly
 and definitely stated, and no better way to do this could be found than ] tie method of joint debate.
 l That there is no truth to the state rnents viciously circulated about 1 small attendance at the Cummings meetings throughout the state was proven conclusively last night when l enc of the largest audiences ever as- sembled at a political rally in this l city greeted the candidate at the Ly- ceum theater. True, MT. Cummings vas not the only one on the bill there, having as running mate the Hon. | Augustine Lonergan, of Hartford, the former Congressman from this dis
 trict. who is after the scalp of one P. | Davis Oakley. Even the genial Angus tine might agree that the man from
 Stamford was the headliner. The Hartford gentleman is not a stranger
 here. In fact, his visits to New Brit
 ain are frequent enough to keep him

The Limousine Look.
(New York Tribune).

Perhaps 1t is hypercritical of us. Riding in a limousine is a magnif- cent and awful thing, and how should any plain mortal be expected to endure it without amendment to his soul? Still, from our sidewalk, we do observe and protest. Can no human being, even though to the limousine born, learn to ride in closed car and avoid the closed face, that blank, toplofty, British aloof- ness of expression so alien to normal Am erican worry and cheerfulness?
 There was a time not so many years ago when every one who rode in carriage on Fifth avenue had a carriage look. It was a badge of honor indicating arrival among those choice few who by virtue of a bank account could afford to sacrifice their calves and colons to the boredom of riding behind their own pair. That has vanished. The ar1stocratlc car riage has gone the way of all ar1s- tocracy and has been superseded by the democratic motor car, which al- most any one can Haunt upon the avenue.

QUICK RELIEF FROM
 CONSTIPATION
Get Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tab lets, the substitute for calomel.
 Dr, Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years and calomeps o1d-tirne en- cny, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid flyers.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, sooth- ing vegetable laxative.
 No gripping is the keynote" of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action.
 If you have "dark brown mouth" now and then-a bad breath-a dull, tired feeling - sick headache - torpid liver and are constipated, you'll find quick, sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets at bedtime.
 Thousands take one or two every night just to keep right. Try them. l0c and 25c per box. All druggists.
