A MESSAGE.

4 Daily, life teaches us many great
lessons. Chief among them are these
three: The highest success is to trust
God. the greatest happiness is to love
and be loved. the truest satisfaction is
a good days work well done. Blessed
are they who go to it saying, Thanks
for the days work that my Lord gives
me-" There may be doubts of our
trust in God and even in our earthly
loves; but doubts are but a mortal
brood, our work is everlasting. This
world is our workfeld and our battle
field; in both there must be a struggle.
The cross, with its lines going in oppo-
site directions, Is the symbol Of this
field; in both there must be struggle.

THE BLESSED VIRGIN WILL PRO.
TEcT THE FILlPINos.


Father Regain writes that the people
of the Philippine Islands have great
love for the Rosary. In all parts of
the islands it is common practice for
the members of a family to unite each
evening for this beautiful form of
tribute to Mary.
In places where there is no resident
priest the people gather on Sundays
and feast days to recite Our Lady's
favorite prayer Without doubt these
devotions are most acceptable to her
and the present apostles in the Philip
pines, all too few in number to deal
with the vast population, are hoping
that she will send them some more
soldiers to join their ranks. s.''ss J

HOW MUCH DO YOU WISH lrm

Have you ever said: It wish had
a more cheerful disposition" How
much do you wish it? Enough to
dispose yourself so as to be in the
way of getting it? Your words are
idle unless you will to have it, in
stead of wishing to have it. You are
not responsible for the disposition
you were born with, but you are
responsible for the one you have to-
day. And you have no business to
bewail your bad disposition" while
doing nothing to improve it.
Everything you carelessly or Sc
riously purpose to do affects what
you are disposed to do. You are dis
posed to- look on the dark side, bor-
row trouble, and say discouraging
things. Suppose you earnestly pur-
pose for one week to look for pleas
ant things, and speak of them, and
never speak Of what you dread or do
not like. You will be more cheerfully
and hopefully disposed at the end of
the week, and you know it. IF We
know these things, happy are We if
We do them" It is your duty-your
business in 1ffe--to work up out of
your evil environments, whatever they
may chance to be.

BET LOSER BLOWS A LEAF.


Dressed up as q clown and crawling
on his hands and knees, Fred z. Park
ing Of Bloomfield, N. j.. an ardent ad-
mirer Of Charles E. Hughes, to pay
an election bet blew a maple leaf
from Lackawanna Place to Bloomfield
Center Saturday night. The task re-
quired nearly two hours, and at its
completion Parking was exhausted.
At the end of the first hour he was
compelled to provide himself with
knee pads and heavy gloves. When
he was within Is feet of the goal q
gust of wind blew the leaf back about
40 feet, and it was thought Parking
would give up, but he stuck to his
tasw and completed it without fur.
Their mishap.
Several Hughes sympathizers took
Parking to drug store where he wa.
given tonic. Parking will keep the
leaf as a memento of his bet. He
says he will never make another

AUTO LEGISLATION COMING.

It isn't going to be enough to say
that something must be done about
the streets and the automobiles. The
thing is to do it. The Legislature is
coming in in January and the city
government meets often. City ordi-
nances and statute laws are needed.
Here in Hartford we ought to for
bid speed in the city streets. The
race track on Pennington avenue
should be done away with. The rush
cityward in the morning and early af-
ternoon and the rush away from the
city at noon and early evening is the
source Of a vast amount Of danger.
There are narrow escapes every day.
Out in the open with clear road
the driver takes his own risk, and, if
he smashes up. it Is on him. In the
city the risk is on the outsider. Any
careless driver, licensed or lawless, can
dash past a trolley car and kill some
body whose life is worth far more to
the community than his is. Caution
must be the prime consideration. Pc
destrians are inconceivably careless.
They cross streets without once look
ing up and they step off from side
walks as If there was nothing in the
road but themselves. But pedestrians
have right to live and it isn't enough
to say the fault was theirs.
There must be more policemen at
corners and soon crossing will be linn
tied ocorners, too, where the officers
will insure safety. Incidentally po-
licemen must be more rigid with the
automobiles. There Is a lot of vio-
lation Of the law in plain sight every
LAY. ,
Another important point is that the
n1anagement Of automobiles with its

that should prove to be one of the
most entertaining seen at Polls thea
tire In some time. There are many
popular favorites in the program and
they are sure Of q warm welcome.
Josie Flynn's Minstrel Misses, that
favorite "girP' novelty. will top the
bill with their happy repertoire OF
songs, dances and comedy, all arrang-
ed In a delightful minstrel setting.
Another big laughing feature will
be Fun In Sanitariun.' a hilarious

PLAZA.

Douglas Fairbanks, the human tor

the screen today, comes to the Plaza
the latter half OF the week in "Ameri-
can AristocracyI which has it's
initial showing this afternoon. The
mere announcement of Fairbanks
appearance, regardless Of the picture
in which he is to be starred, Is SUM-
cient proof to the average theatre
goer that there IL to be something
worth seeing. And American Aris-
tocracy'' is said to be the most sensa-
tional, most humorous and most de-
lightful Aim subject in which he has
ever posed. There's action every sec
ton, action Of a sort that makes the
heart beat fast and the blood in ones
veins tingle with excitement. It will
draw capacity houses at the Plaza
without much trouble and there'll be
plenty OF boosters leaving the thea
tire. M

cqmedietta that closely resembles the
Modern minstrel Offering with the ex-

chorus OF seven strikingly pretty
young women.

BRAVE A. P. MEN

"Our war correspondents go into
the field of danger without the wild
enthusiasm and the all-important
touch of elbow which stimulates the
fighting soldiers said Manager Mel
Vile E. Stone Of the Associated Press
in a recent address. yet their devo-
!, ton to- duty is none the less certain
and controlling. In the Russian
Japanese war, poor Popoff was shot
through the lung at the front, rode
five miles to a telegraph Office, wrote
almost to completion his dispatch to
the Associated Press, and then tainted
and was sent to hospital. An OFF,
Ger who knew him dispatched the tel
egram with a notation that Popoff
had practically ended his story and
could go no further.
Middleton, another Of our men,
died in Manchuria, was accorded a
military funeral by the Russian gen
eral, his body was tenderly transport
ed through the contending lines, sa-
credly cared for by the Japanese gen.
eral, and, at his mothers request, was
buried at Chefoo, on the China coast.
'Danchenko. another A. F. CORE
spondent, kept his vigil day and night,

Petropavloysk, and had his reward
in the fact that he told the first and
best story of the event.

decorated by the Gar for his courage.

Austrians. Cortesi, an Italian by

New York, has been with the forces
Of his native land in the Trentino. All
of these men are in daily Jeopardy to
furnish you the graphic stories which
you read morning and evening in your
newspaper. Il
..'It is gratifying to be able to say
that no Associated Press man, wheth-
er in our, foreign or domestic service
ever betrayed a trust reposed in him.
Wherefore they, as no other newspa-
per men, are treated with distinct
courtesy and confidence in every war
ring country. Paxton Hibben of In
is perhaps closer to the |
King of Greece than any other man. |
He has repeatedly interviewed the
king and has presented his views to |
the American people. Our Constan-
tinople correspondent has talked with
the Sultan Of Turkey and has reported !
his utterances by authority. The
German chancellor has been not only |
repeatedly interviewed but has sent |
direct statements to the Associated |
Press by wireless on several occasions. |
Lord Edward Grey and several other
English statesmen have done likewise.
So, also, has It been in Austria, Rus
STA, Stockholm, Bulgaria, Egypt and
generally throughout the world. Only
the other day Mr.. Sharkey, chief of
our Japanese bureau, was given a
most exclusive statement by General
Teranchi, the new japanese premier"

Dallas. Tex, Nov. 16.-You're going

money off their other crops to bother
about turkeys. This is particularly
true in Texas. Now that the far

report just made, said the number Of
cases in the entire city had fallen to
less than 40 per week, with a contin-
ued steady decline.

other state outside Of New York with
Greater New York included. In,
Greater New York the rate was 1862
and New York state, exclusive Of New

Surgeon Lavinder points out that
In three groups of states the Incl
dence rate was highest, being mark
eddy above that of the rest of the
country. These groups are in gem
eral way arranged like large invert-

the New England states, one arm
stretching west along the Great
Lakes, and the other south along the
Atlantic coast. In this connection he
says it has been suggested that main

seWe might reasonably conceive, -
says DR.. Lavinder, that one focus,
starting In New York city and vi
cinity, has stretched north through
New England, west along the Great

somewhat west. Another focus, be-
ginning with Minnesota, has stretch
ed east toward Ohio and also some
what west. A third focus might be
conceived as originating in Mississip-
pi or Alabama and stretching north
along the coast to Virginia and Maxy-
land. We lack any data Of conse-
quence to support this view. We
know, however. that poliomyelitis ap-
peared in epidemic form in Minnesota
about the time 1t appeared in New
York city and it's vicinity and that
the two foci were not connected with
each other so far as can be deter
mined. The crest of the prevalence
