THOUGHTS TO THINK
ABOUT

Hate held in the heart hurts
not your neighbor but yourself.
Hate, like love, comes back to
him who gives it.
Faith conquers fate, triumphs
over fears and supplies the
hoped for things of life.
Never rich is he who never
wants more.
Every living creature takes
frequent elimpses into the FIJI
ture through one of two field
glasses-faith or fear.
The Palladium Want Ads are
all alike-they serve everyone.
The cost of an ad is little the
results are big. They are quick
and profitable. Every Want Ad
is getting results for an adver-
tiser. Phone 1884 and ask for
an AID Taker; tell your story.

he clasped the feeble trembling hand

at his patient. "Haste is vital for the

the lawyer and left the room.
Dudley stepped aside and the lawyer
opened his portfolio and seated him.

Dudley had sprung to the side of the

death had struck it's final blow. The

"Am I too late?"
Dudley North had Travelled nearly a
thousand miles by land and water. He
was wearied and heavy-eyed, but be
prOpOunded the query with mingled
solicitude and eagerness in his tones.
Once the house he had just entered
had been his home and the servants
had admitted this old favorite without
delay. Dudley had hurried to the Ii
brary, where Mr.. Veile, the family law
yer, and Doctor Parish stood engaged
in serious consultation. Both welcom-
ed him with a friendly handshake.
"Your relative has rallied" spoke
the latter, "but he will not last long"
HE may see his uncle?" asked Mr..
Veile.
81 see no objection. Mr.. Hardinge
has asked for him repeatedly"
NORTH" added the lawyer, close to
the ear of the young man, your uncle
is about to make his will. In the alb
sence of that, as his nearest living rel
alive, you are the natural heir, but he
has expressed the desire and intention
OF choosing another legatee."
81 understand perfectly" spoke Dud-
ley with clear, open promptness and
candor. "My uncle has been a true
friend to me. He gave me a home for
years and the backing which has en-
abled me to form a business cOnnec-
ton that is permanent and full of
promise. / ask no more, expect no
more"
HE is very weak" said the lawyer.
''Do you know the prospective heir?''
Il do not" answered Dudley. ''Just
before went away on my last trip we
had a heart-to-heart talk. My uncle
revealed to me that / would not be his
heir, that he intended to leave his for
tune to another. He simply told me
that he felt it his duty to make up for
a great wrong. l tried to express my
deep gratitude for all he had done for
me. l told him truthfully that [ ex-
pected nothing further from his kindly
generosity"

Captain Palmer and His House.
Capt. Nathaniel Primer, when only
boy of twenty-One, became master of
the sloOp Hero and sailed on a sealing
voyage to the South Shetland islandjs.
Whaling and sealing ventures brougkr
wealth to Stoningtou shipOwners and
captains, but this voyage of Captain
Palmer resulted in find" more valu-
able than any cargo, however rich.
The find" was the Antarctic CONT
nent.
The Hero was one of a squadron OF
vessels that reached Yankee Harbor,
Deception island, during the season OF
1S20-21. 1t was froTn that place that
the lookout, on an unusually clear day
discovered a volcano in action. Cap
tain Palmer was dispatched in the
Hero, sloOp of only 45 tons burden,
to examine the moultain and the re-
giOn in which it was situated. The
boy sailed safely across the uncharted
sea and found an unknown continent.
The home of the discoverer of the
Antarctic continent still stands in
StOningtOn and is now the WampOs-
sett inn. Like it's old owner, it has
withstood the buffetings of the sea.
In great September gale which swept
the coast a century ago, this house was
lifted from it's foundations by the
force of the waves and dropped into
the cellar. AS there were no jack
screws in those days, the building was
gradually brought back into place by
wedges.

The summer visitor is now the only in

quered by the beauty of sea and shore.
If he loves the flavor of antiquity, his
fate is sealed and StOnington has add
ed one more to the list of her con-
quests.
What other Connecticut town was
ever the scene of an American victory
over the British? Stonington twice
defeated the naval forces of England ;
once in 1875 and again in 1914
The cOnquests of the old town were
noc, however, limited to battle alone.
The sea was hers, traversed as it was
by her whaling and sealing ships as
well as by her passenger packets. The
unknown corners of the earth acknOwl-
edged her supremacy, for a Stoning-
ton captain was the first to see the
Tanning islands, and Capt. Nathaniel

Whistler was a pioneer spirit, and
Whistler lived at two periods of his

After the long series of conquests,
beginning with the Indian and ending
with the summer visitor, StOningtOn
now enjoys the fruits of victory. In
peace she sits under her ancient elms,
while the harbOr waters lap her shores
and surge beneath the ruined wharveS.
It is recorded that Rufus ChOate once
said of StOningtOn that it was the only
place he had ever seen that was en-
tirely finished.

tiers of Stonington (then called Mystic

court at Hartford to be set off as a

New London led to the refusal of the
application.
In 1867 the petitioners sent an ur-
