(Written Specially for The Bulletin.)
 So many interesting sidelights are thrown upon Norwich history, both as to town and city, by what MT. Gill miIiennial celebration that there is a temptation to continue and briefly summarize what he has to say in his book regarding how and when and by whom that famed celebration was planned.
 In Part Iti of his book, he explains that so great was the success Of the Norwich Old Home Week celebra- tion in 1901 that a widespread dis position to make it an annual festi- val might have prevailed, had not General William A. Aiken and other wise citizens suggested that, as the quarter millennium of Norwich was approaching. it might be prudent to keep the supply of powder dry for that coming event.
 The first official action looking to- ward tho celebration of the dual an- niversaries of the city and town was taken by the Court of Common Coun- cil, June 12. Ie01:: when on the rec ommenda tion of the late Mayor voted that the matter of the one, hundredth and twenty fifth anniver' sary of the city be referred to the amusement committee.
 The next organization to take action on the subject was the Board of Trade At a meeting of the executive Feb. 5rd, 1908, President F. w. Cary in the chair, it was voted that the president appoint an anni- versary committee to confer with such committees as might be appointed by other organizations.
 The anniversary committee so ap- pointed met March 14th, 1908, and voted to recommend to the executive a celebration in 1909 of the founding of the town of Norwich, and further, to arrange at once for such a by calling a mass meeting

Do you know it makes no difference what we would rather do in this world for about all we can do is the best we are able to accomplish. If we learn early to find joy in every credit able achievement. and to forget our failures as speedily as possible, we shall have learned to conserve our energies. which is wisdom. Too many real good folks worry over trifles and waste their energies in what they think to be righteous indignation. There are two good mental practices which are as important as any two physical exercises for a healthful ana peaceful life. Court silence and cul- tivate calmness. Too many people say too much, or are easily upset. Pre- paredness against things which excite worry or wrath is a real asset in life because nothing tells more for eff ciency or sets a stronger tide against fault finding. Don't fdget because you haven't all you want, for if you get what you need you are better off than half the world. Know when to be sat- isf1ed.

days OF the Jewish calendar. II com.

The Feast Of Purim" never attain.
cd rs high a degree OF spiritual influ-
ence as did some OF the other festi-
walls. The usual Psalms of praise
reai cn ether holidays are omitted on
Purim The one characteristic OF the
Purim ritual is the reading of the
Book OF Esther en- the evening of the
thirteenth day of Adar.
As a folk celebration, Purim made
up for whatever influence It may nave
lacked as religious festival II was
celebrated as carnival; masks were
worn by old and young; Purim plays
were given reenacting the drama of
Esther and Haman. In addition to
this merry celebration of Purim there
arose the custom of giving gifts to the
poor. Every Jew. no matter how poor.
would give something to someone
mere needy than himself. And so the
day of popular rejoicing was touched
with the elevating spirit of beneyo-
lence.

loyalty to the flag and the nation
During the address of Prof. Massey
a number of the school children were
called upon to give the salute to the
flag, which was the occasion for a
hearty applause from the large au-
dience present.
Although but short was the notice
given, the meeting could not have
been more successful one, and the
large audience present is a true in
dication of the interest manifested by
our citizens in the great conflict that
is likely to come, and no man can tell
what may follow the actions of the
United States in declaring war again
st the Imperial government. 1t is
evident however, that Jerome stands
ready to follow the advice of the
leaders in this conflict, and tenders
to the government at Washington its
undivided support and loyalty to the
flag and the nation.
