My Dream.

(W. T. Sleeper, 1S9S). I dreamed my soul was free.
 Broken my prison wall Severed the cord that tethered me Tn this entangled thral. Like bird on joyful wings,
 r scared above the earth. Content to leave its tolls and stings, It's darkness and its dearth. Now far beyond the stars,
 There come from earth below I7ncertain sounds of strife and wars, And plaintive cries of woe; Faint prayers of agony,
 Beseeching in God of Light For one a friendly guide to be From wrong to ways of right With tender pity, then
 My soul breathed out this prayer: 70 God let me return again,
 And in mems sorrows share; of I might safely lead
 One soul to know Thy grace. Thy wisdom will approve the dced, When I behold Thy face.'' I woke in tears of Joy,
 That I. another day Tn, loving service might employ, To light some darksome way. After our morning prayer,
 A stranger at my door Timidly knocked, and asked me,
 "Where
 Is he who loves the poor?"

WEEK OF PATRIOTISM.
Contributor Has Plan to Be Con-
 sidcrcd in Connection With Elks'

Flag Day Observance.
 Editor New Britain Herald:---
 I have noted with interest your re- cent editorial upon the proposed cele- bration of next June 14th as Flag Day. bv the local lodge of Elks and beg leave through your columns to present a few ideas for the considera-
 tion of the people of the city.
 In every place where d lodge of
 Elks exists, and that is in nearly
 every "ity of 5000 or more popula-
 tion. in this country, they have always
 been to the front in works Of charity,
 philanthropy, and efforts for the bet
 terment of all civic conditions, and
 usually first in material contributions for the relief of immediate suffering and distress.
 An appeal to a lodge of Elks never
 calls forth the query as to whether the assistance asked is deserved, but
 whether 1t is needed to relieve dis
 tress and suffering. If so. the re-
 sponse Is prompt, and no time is
 wasted on preliminary Investigations.
 If thy brother hunger, feed him;
 If he thirst, give him to drink Is 8
 cardinal principle with the Elks, and
 one of an Ell-s maxims Is "The faults
 of our brothers we write on the sands.
 their virtues upon tablets of love and
 memories" Naturally such an order
 is intensely American in all their
 ideas, and patriotic in their ideals
 and nothing Is more natural than
 that tie celebration of Flag Day"
 in public manner, should originate
 in a lodge of Elks.
 AS we understand 1t however, 1t Is not the idea of the local order to conf1ne the proposed celebration on June IA to the Elks, but they have simply taken the matter up with the thought of arousing public sentiment to make this the biggest day New
 Britain has ever had, and the sugges- tion has been made that the week of June 10 to June 16 be made an "Old Home Week" with the especial cele-
 bration of the fourteenth as "Flag Day" and "Elks Day.
 To do this, and carry such a plan to successful conclusion, would re- Guire the cooperation of all the bus mess interests of the city, backed by the Chamber of Commerce. and as
 sisted l'y the schools and the churches, and actively participated in by all the fraternal and patriotic orders and If possible by participation of the towns of Berlin and Pennington as com . prisinc the old town of which New Britain was originally part.
 Such a week might begin on Sum- | day t1e 10th by special services in all the churches. with sermons upon such tonics as might incite to greater interest in civic problems. and pa triotic 'eas Other days of the week 1 might be designated for certain special events, perhaps one day as | Bargain Day. when all the stores in the city should either sell every

A PUBEIC APOLOGY.

To the Editor of the Herald:
 I feel 1t Is due to my sister, Miss Emma Miller Bidwell, to make this public apology. Upon my complaint my sister was arrested by the New Britain police last Thursday, charged with stealing clothing from our place. I am sorry for the undeserved dis grace which I have brought upon my sister through the reports in the pub lie press and upon the police record. My sister had no intention of steal ing. My sister is industrious. faith full and I believe she is living a good and honorable life and working hard to support members of her family.

Coal was selling in New York clty two months ago at about $l3 ton when the federal grand jury began US investigation, according to Assistant Attorney General SWacker and rumor said that it would go to $2o. NOW the price is about $s, and the attor- nev believes that the activity of the department of justice has caused the change. But there will be no indict- ments. Why not?
