EBERT BEDE SAYS

Being pusher has its drawbacks
The lion was the king of beasts un
til man learned to get drunk.
The person who always tells the
truth will have many bandaged heads
There is only one road to heaven and
no church has private toll path.
The married man is the happler-out
because he has no troubles, but be-
cause he has no time to worry about
them.
II seems like getting an education is
waste of time when we see so many
getting to the front on nothing but
their gall.
In the states that have equal suffrage
lawyers have learned that it is not wise
to put a man and his wife on the same
jury.
An expert is man who is able to
make you believe that he knows more
than you do-and make you pay for
being fooled.
If you would have happy wife see
to it that she has enough work to keep
her so busy she won't have time to dig
out your faults.
When you put off anything to tomor-
row unnecessarily you are making the
next days work so hard that some reg
ular duties may have to be postponed.
Between those who have an inflated
idea of their own importance and those
who greatly underestimate their own
worth, there are a few who strike
happy medium.
If you want to find out what a man
thinks of himself, read his political ad-
vertisements. If you want to know
what others think of him, read the re-
turns.
We have seen the statement that
genius is one having the rare faculty of
being able to read serious book when
a lot of women are talking. In our
opinion only Ounce would try to dis
play genius in that way.
William Little of Oregon City, Ore,
was sued on note given for horse.
He claimed the horse was misrepresent-
ed and hired an attorney to defend
him. He was beaten, appealed the
case to the circuit court, tried it him
self and won. This is certainly horse
on the legal profession.

STREET CORNER SAGE
Let Us Have War

The Sage stood in the post-office lob
by, reading the war news over the
shoulder of man who had just receiv-
ed his daily paper.
"The United States is shore goin' to
have to look out, 'er they're goin to
git into this affair yet" he asserted.
No one seemed interested enough to
start an argument, but the old gentle
man was not daunted by the lack of at
tention.

And Along Came Ruth

"Curtains are always a bother to me,
and this is the season of the year when
they need attention." complained
Ruth's mother, as she surveyed the
smoked hangings of the sitting room.
81 have learned some new points
about curtains" commented Ruth,
from the cornor where she was busily
sewing upon her machine, zone is that
they should never be fastened to their
curtain rods with pins, for they invari-
ably rust and leave ugly marks upon
the curtains. A good substitute for
pins is small wooden tooth picks. They
are firm and secure and do not hurt
the curtains. Then at the bottom of
each curtain, out of sight of the eye,
there should be sewed a small, rust
proof hook, so that the bottom of the
curtain may be hooked into the mesh
at any height necessary, when sweep
ing or cleaning is being DONE"

We had hoped to keep the grippe
out of these notes but that bug forced
several schools to close during the
temporary illness of the teacher. In
some cases the midyear tests had to be
postponed until the boys and girls
should again be able to attend. This
will necessarily delay the returns.
The commissioner wishes to disclaim
all credit for the preparation of the
questions recently sent to all rural
teachers. The statement at the head
ing to that effect is an entire mistake.
The questions were merely adjusted
to local conditions and the present
standard adopted thru the kindness of
the Huron county commissioner.

Diamonds from Sugar

Although at first thought the state
ment seems incredible, it is perfectly
true that lump of sugar may be con-
verted into diamonds.
Not all the substances of the sugar.
OF course, will enter into the compo-
sition of the diamond, but only the car
bon that it contains.
Sugar consists of carbon united with
oxygen and hydrogen. It is an easy
matter to separate out ihe carbon, and
in certain experiments for the produc-
tion OF diamonds this sugar carbon has
been employed.
The diamonds so produced were, of
course very small, and destitute of
commercial value, but still they were
real diamonds, and the chemical result
achieved would be no greater intrinsi-
cally if they were as big as the Cullin.
an.
Scientists have often expressed the
hope that an Improvement in the pro-
cess OF manufacturing diamonds may
be effected whereby the necessity of
dissolving the carbon in molten iron
may be dispensed with and the re-
qulred combination of great pressure
with great heat may be brought about
by some such operation as squeezing
the carbon between red-hot metal
plates, Sex.

SUFFRAGE-PR0 AND CON
Pro-.

Pro.
 Results of the suffrage conventions which have recently been held in five of the Connecticut counties are already to be seen. The first of the series of conventions was held at New Haven, and in New Haven county campaign has been launched which started on Wednesday of last week at Southbury. During last week the campaigners covered Southbury, Middlebury and Prospect. This week big Fourth of July suffrage demonstration was ar- ranged for Wolcott, Branford, East Haven, Madison and Guilford are to have suffrage meetings before the week iS ended.
 One feature of all these suffrage meetings is music. Summer time meetings are usually much more suc- cessful if they are aided by a good band. Experience so far has shown that there is nothing like band for increasing the size of the audiences, and this outside help has been gladly availed of by the women who are organizing and conducting this series of New Haven County meetings.
 Every leaflet distributed to advertise these meetings carries on its face the suffrage blanks adopted by the Repub- lican Party at the national convention in Chicago and the Democratic party at it's national convention at St. Louis. Great emphasis is being laid on the fact that both parties endolse woman suffrage and that both parties look to Connecticut to carry out this endorse ment by passing the state constitu. tional amendment.

Con.

Although the schedule of public meetings arranged for the summer by the Connecticut Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage has been given up for the present, the activities in connec. tion with the organization in prepara- tion for the coming presidential cam- paign are being quietly prosecuted. The members of the Board Of Managers sent word to each of the branches of the organization throughout the state, at the time the order of mobilization went to the state militia, that, until National affairs became more settled, the members were to abandon their work against suffrage and do all in their power to help the preparedness of the troops.
 The result was that several meetings arranged to take place this month were given up, and the plans for a campaign of education to cover the shore resorts were abandoned. Replies from several of the heads of local branches show that they have joined the local Red Cross branches, and are busy providing camp comforts for the soldiers. Among those who watched the passing through of the troops trains on their way to Nogales were some of the state officers of the Anti suffrage Association, many of whom have members of their fami- lies now at the border.

Like all lovers Of dogs, we hate a dog show. The agony of nervousness that all that pandemonium of noise and nonsense must cause in any high strung dog is not pleasant to contem- plate. There is something cosmically comic, too, in the sight of a huge Irish wolf hound, long, gaunt and gray a very Lincoln among dogs in his ma jestic simplicity-being judged by a fussy little forked radish in spats and checked waistcoat. Judged, indeed! We wonder what the wolf hound thinks of it all-Life.

THE FASHIONS OF THE MOMENT
Full, Straight Skirts May Lead to the
Narrower Silhouette-the Ter
sistenee of Pockets.

New York, December 28th.-
Fashion continues in ways of
straight and undated fulness.
Skirts fall in soft, clinging folds,
so much so that the tendency to-
ward the narrower silhouette
becomes very apparent, though
we need not yet anticipate the
very narrow Skirt.
1t is already rumored, howev-
err, that skirts for spring will be
two and two and a half yards
wide. But it is really looking a
little too far ahead to be think
ing of spring styles already. At
present, skirts are still very am
pie. Box pleats and side pleats
are very freely used, and this
means that a good deal Of mater
ial is used in a dress or skirt.
The pleats hang in straight lines,
generally unstitched, while in
some cases they are stitched as
far as the hips and below that
point are pressed into position.
