CHRISTINE WAS HELPFUL

I've just been to see Christine, " announced the ambitious girl, as she put down her violin case. T love to hear Christine talk, she always cheers me up such a lot"
 why, I neve.'' think of Christine as a cheerful person; quite the oppo- ] site objected the domestic looking g;rl, who was pouring a cup of tea. Of course, she isn't cheerful, that's i just the point" continued the ann hitious girl T never say her when she. wasn't blue about something or suess it simply loves to see some one more misera ble-at least, mine does Whenever ] have the dumps 1 always | go to see Christine.

 "'Oh, dear!' she walled, T never find any bargains. Why does every one else in the world have luck about clothes?'
 That girl IS worried sick for fear tke dressmaker will spoil her new serge. She heard of somebody once who didn't like something that the poor woman made.

THE AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN.

Without. any spIurge. without any great gathering Of notables to witness the signing and without in fact any publicity being given to it. this coun- try Las entered into an understand ing with Japan in regard to China which gives assurance that one of the big obstacles which has existed, Or ored to create the belief that it ex- isted. has heen removed
 The United States, has always mani Tested deep interest in the welfare of Cl:ina. It was in keeping with the interest which it has taken in the pro lection of the republics in North and South America. as manifested in the Monroe Doctrine. and new it has acknowledged it's recognition of the same service which Japan is prepared to render to China. Japan has ap- parently been inspired by our atti- tude to look out for the interests of it's neighbor, China. and the agreement which has been entered into between the United States and Japan rela- tive to the Far East shows that this country has faith in Japan's good intentions and integrity.
 The Japan mission came to this country for the purpose of bringing about closer cooperation between the "a ations in the WAT and arriving at a letter. understa nding of each others position regarding the policy of the Pacific. It was recognized that 1t had been highly successful even before the I.ansing-Ishii agreen. ent was made public but that has made it more. positive than ever. The efforts which have been made to estranse these two nations have been knocked Tn the head in a twinlzling and closer relations can be expected in the flu bIre.

The decision is the opposite from what was understood to he the attitude of the board, and it is reality the only decision which could be made in jus tice and fairness and in keeping with the spirit of the law. There is no reason why the state should permit families of drafted men to suffer and contribute to the support of volun- teers. It would be as sensible to say that drafted soldiers should receive no pay for their services while voiun- teers should be paid.-Hartford Post. 7 The Waterbury post office put one over on the Bridgeport post office recently.

 This compromise should include a corresponding reduction on the other lines of the company.
 Easing my conclusion on the tenn per of the public I am sure that this adjustment would insure the Shore Lire company larger receipts than it is now realizing and at a correspond ingly less cost, because of the more travel. I submit the proposition as g. suggestion, well aware that both the company and the people will take it at what they deem it worth.
 It is not my intention to abuse or even criticise the company or it's of f1cieIs. My object now, as in the in ception of the agitation, is to procure fair hearing for the people. JOHN E. HUGHES.
