APPEAL TO SUNDAY SCHOOLS
For Relief of the Child Martyrs Of
 Bible Lands.
All Sunday school members

All Sunday school members are inter- ested in the Lands of the Bible.
 And they are also interested in chil- dren every-especially Christian chil- dren.
 Now, at this very time, while you are reading these words, there are tens of thousands of Armenian and Syrian Christian children, whose homes are in Bible Lands, who are actually suffer- ing for shelter and clothes and food.
 They have been driven away from their homes, some of them into the deserts and some into the mountains and some into other shelterless places. The fathers of most of these boys and girls have been killed, having refused to accept Mohammedanism.
 A million Christian Armenians have been slain within year, or else put in imminent danger of death.
 The Americans who are trying to save the lives of the Armenians who re- main, have asked the Sunday schools of this country to try to feed and clothe the children who survive. Sunday, May 2S, has been set apart as Armen-
 
 schools.
 Ten cents will keep boy or girl alive for a week.
 If every member of the Sunday school will give ten cents (and many will be able to give much more)-and give it scon-it will be possible to save the lives of many thousands of Armenian boys and girls.
 We are running race with death. Only haste will enable us to save the Armenian Christian boys and girls. So give quickly, and the money will be cabled to the Bible Lands.
 Every penny will go to feed and clothe the suffering; the expense of collect ing the money and sending it to the needy is all borne by generous friend.
 Send all money to MT. Charles R. Crane, Treasurer American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York city; do not give it to any agents.

Think of Me, Dearest.

Think of me, dearest, when day is breaking
 Away from the sable chains of night, When the sun, his ocean.couch forsak. ing Like a giant first in his strength awak. ing,
 Is tiinging aboard his limbs of light: As the breeze that first travels with morning forth, Giving life to her steps OCT the quick ening earth AS the dream that has cheated my soul through the night, Let me ill thy thoughts come fresh with the light. Think of me, dearest, when day is sinking Ip the soft embrace of twilight gray, When the starry eyes of heaven are winking And the weary flowers their tears are drinking, As they start like gems on the moon- touched spray. Let me come warm in thy thoughts at eve, As the glowing track which the sum- beams leave, When they, blushing, tremble along the deep, While stealing away to their place of sleep. Think of me, dearest, when round the smiling
 Are eyes that melt while they gaze on thee; When words are winning and looks are wiling, And those words and looks, of others, beguiling Thy fiuttering heart from love and me. Let me come true in thy thoughts in that hour; Let my trust and my faith-my devo- tion-have power, When all that can lure to thy young soul is nearest, To summon each truant thought back to me, dearest.

In Canaan, Ct., the other night, Walter Prichard Eaton told a large and distinguished company:
 "What We need is to sing, ourselves, even if not as well as Caruso; to dance, ourselves, even if we're not Pavolwas. '
 Once upon time Walter was asked if he danced and told a small but none the less select company:
 "No-there are so many easier ways of making fool of myself!"

To Get Dinosaurus Bones.

Thirty years ago, Charles o. Wolcott, owner of a quarry in Manchester, found some queer shaped bones while digging stone. He spoke about it to Major Charles H. Owen. a Yale gradu- ate and Major Owen wrote to Yale. Representatives of Yale University made an investigation, and found that the bones were those of a dinosaurus. While negotiations were in progress, the quarry was sold and the next thing the Yale professors knew was that the bones were gone. The location of these bones had remained a mystery until re- gently when a Yale man found pieces in the stones used in the Bridge street bridge.
 Selectman J. D. Cheney was com. municated with and permission was asked of Manchester to allow the Yale Corporation to tear down the bridge to secure the bones. The selectmen de. liberated long and earnestly Monday night, and decided to allow the Yale Corporation to tear down the bridge to secure the bones if the bridge is rebuilt in satisfactory manner and as strong as 1t was before. It is believed that the Yale Corporation will have men at work within a few days tearing down the bridge.

SUFFRAGE-PR0 AND CON


ITO.
 When the women of British Colum. bia win the vOte-which will probably be within a few months. Connecticut will be able to claim a smal! share of the credit. A Connecticut woman. Mrs. w. D. Ascough, of Hartford. was appealed to by the suffragsts of British Columbia to make plea for them at d hearing before the legislature in Victoria, British Columbia. Mrs Ascough is an American, but a few years ago she was resident of British Columbia and was much interested ill gard to the municipal vote. Widows and spinsters have long been voters in all the provinces of Canada when they hold property; but of recent years several of the provinces, British Colum- bia among others, extended the fran chise to include married women. Three of the provinces have taken the further step and have fully enfranchised their women. These are Manitoba, Sas. katchewan and Alberta, and now British Columbia is on the verge of fol- lowing the example of the prairie provinces. At the time the appeal was made to Mrs. Ascough she was touring the West 'n the Suffrage Special" with party of suffragists who are ap. pealing to the women voters to organize in support of the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. Press ~ec.

Con-.

Through the state this spring the Connecticut Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage will inaugurate a series of entertainments, for which plans have already been made, to further increase their membership of over 17,0O0, announcement of which brought attempts at ridicule from their opponents with the statement that "claims of mere numbers are made un necessary" and that the suffrage organ izatiOns numbered on their rolls just about twice as many members in this state as have the antis aG present.
 Such statements are taken by read CTS with grain of salt and with open mind, for there are many who go back to last fall, when the western suffra gists rolled into Hartford via decorated automobile, with their claims to represent -four million women voters. ' Such assertions as were made, based on tIose figures, were taken for what they were worth, until some one called attention to the fact that there were little more than half that number of women ill the country of voting age Then the four million disappeared and the campaign continued on another tack.

1t may be true that the ways of wom-
is equally true Of men. To prove this
statement, go out and spend half a day
on the street. Watch every man as the
women go by. Many of them will ogle
and stare and blink if six inches of ho-
siery is in sight. That is, if the woman
is not Of their own family. But if she
is, they will make desperate efforts to
engage the attention of other men until
the "sights' are no longer to be seen.
1t depends, you see, upon whose pig
you have by the tail. That $ the man
Of it, and most men are Just men.

Now that the strike is off, the next
thing we hear Of will no doubt be an
other boost in freight rates. This will
mean more boosts in the retail price of
everything, for it is not the roads or
the dealers that pay the freight-it is
the consumer. If the manufacturer adds
five per cent to his prices, the whole
saler will tack on another ten or per-
haps more, and there is no telling how
much more will be screwed from the
public before it reaches the consumer

Do you want to see this town grow
Do you want to see more money in cir
culation heres Do you want more of
that money yourself? Then stop kick
ing and get out and push and build. DO
something yourself instead of leaving
everything for others to do. This town
is and always will be just what we our
selves make it, just as the live wire
communities are what their own live
wires make them You can't cultivate
corn with a dead horse, and you can t
make live town by simply telling 9th
