WRECK NEW
 HOME OF w. l.. DREW

Vandals practically wrecked the in terior of the new home of William l.. Drew, a prominent liquor dealer of this city, Monday night. The house located in Manhattan avenue, was finished with the exception of slight interior decorations. It was ripped with picks, the cement cellar was dug up the wall bespattered with wet plaster and wet cement strewn about the floors.
 The police of the fourth precinct station who were called to the scene found bags of cement which stood in the yard back of the house had been ripped open and the contents scatter ed over the sidewalk. In the cellar the culprits had found some picks.
 With these implements they dug through the floor and ruined the

 Now the riders edged through the herd, outward, around its f1ank-turn- ed 1t, were crowding it back, milling and confused. Out of the dust emerged two figures, naked, leaning forward to the leaping of their horses. One was an Indian, his black locks flowing, his eyes gleaming, his hand logging his horse as he rode. The other was a white man, his tall white body splash ed with. blood, his long red hair, brok- en from his cue, on his shoulders. The two were pursuing the same an- final, a young bull which thus far had kept his distance some fifty yards or so ahead. But as Lewis looked both

 It beats all, how a woman will jug gle with judgment, when it comes to encouraging the right or wrong suitor. Nine times out of ten, it isn't his ster- ling worth which wins out: it is his glib tongue and the fascinating way he has of expressing sentiment, the little tricks he has of making the wo- man of his choice believe she's the only woman in the world who could win his heart. She may realize that he is spending every dollar of ms salary She may even have seen him under the influence of liquor, not once but score of times. Yet, no matter hom improbable his exclamations, she will believe, and swallow them.
 The blunt, outspoken, honest man has little show with women, if he is pitted against a dapper, smooth

He may even, be one of those detestable crea- tures-a male firt, boldly making eyes at other girls in her presence. Judgment does it's best to shake her confidence in him. But one 1angu1sh- ing glance from him, in her direction, a few whispered words of the con- stancy of his love for her, and hope banishes fear. Her heart triumphs over her head. In vain those who love her and are for her interest, do the best to picture to her the man as he is, and what she might have every fright to expect if her future were linked to his. In her thoughtful mo- ments she realizes the wisdom of their counsel But love weakens the strongest bulwark. The alluring lover can tear down in an hour the argu- ments outsiders have piled her with for weeks; he laughs in his sleeve at their futile endeavors to save her. It is most always the girl who ap- parently is the most sensible who is usually caught in Loves drag met. Nc nlatteA how wise she is in all else, a will stronger than her own proves her Waterloo The polished rascal does not fear her displeasure. He is so well versed in woman's ways he is of the opinion that, rather than lose him, she | will shut her eyes to his faults and follies. At length, entboldened by hel l continued forgiving, he will be utterly indifferent as to what she finds out about him. When she starts in to question him about some new peoea- dillo she has been informed of, his at | tention will be attracted only for Q moment.

Of course we all pity the woman who has chosen deliberately the thorny path to walk in. Her friends say, regretfully, that she knew what she was getting-she deliberately de- fled judgment when it said ''No!'' As she made her bed, so must she lie! There are women who love the cross- es they bear, nay-would not be sat isfed or happy without them. Each woman knows better than anybody else the man she can find happiness with. Her idea is: No matter how receiving he is, he is her all. That they are in truth

Rap Administration
Of Fairfield County
By Commissioners

Sharp criticism at the management
of affairs by the Fairfield county COM
missioners was heard in Hartford yes
terday when the senators and repre-
sentatives from this county met TO
approve the budget and lay the county
tax for the coming fiscal year. Some
of the legislators present did not like
the bookkeeping methods used by the
commissioners.
The biggest sensation was caused by
Representative German of Danbury,
who wanted to know why the labor
contract at the county Jail brought
only $1,000 q year. He declared this
was small when it is considered that
there are always between 200 and 900
prisoners at the Jail. Litchfield county
with only 50 prisoners gets 5000 a
year and Windham receives $1,000. One
Of the commissioners said the contract
was made according to law. It was
advertised and only one bid received
An adjournment was taken until to-
day to allow the commissioners to
look up past records.

Philadelphia, May 10-One man
was killed and seven were injured at
the Philadelphia navy yard last night
when the destroyed Allen, in dry dock

ton Of the accident was given out to-

There were three vessels in the
dock. The Guthrie was on the middle
blocks and the destroyers Allen and
Duncan on each side with the ends Of
the vessels overlapping one end OF
the Guthrie. While the dock was be-
ing flooded a rope broke on the Allen
which caused her to strike the Guthrie

by steam.
