JUsT1FIABLE DoMcIDEs

(Writteu Specially~for The Bulletin.)
 Taking up the topic of Public inn prcvements, in his comprehensive ac- count of conditions in Norwich up to the year of the quarter miilennial cele- bration 19O9). MT. Gilman humorously refers to the fac. that Norwich. in the course of fifty years-since the cele- bration of the bicentenniat in 1853 has seen many 'Justifiable domicides."
 He writes: Norwich never had at any time s,feh fine examples of domestic architecture, colonial" 50 called, as may still be seen in the seaport towns of Salem and Portsmouth, and all of the oldest houses; like th. people who dwelt in them, having served their day and generation, have quietly passed away.
 Norwich is still without any great landed cstatess oS.. very costly man sionS: !; ut her citizens nave always been justly proud of their unpreten- tious homes, indicating comfort, refine ment, p -osper-ty and domestic happi1 ness. The number of such dwellings has mu tiplied remarkably in the last twenty years, in all parts of the town that are easily accessible by street cars, notably on the West Side. on Laurel Hill, Lambs Hill and upper Washington street.
 In 1882, Leffingwe!I row. sometimes caIieQ He lOuS SHOp, DuliL Dy SHIlS topher Lef11ngwell about ore hundred years before, and the large red store adjoining. near the fork of the roads opposite the residence of tlie late Gen. Edward Harland were destroyed by fire.

THE MAN. WHO TALKS

The oi.e thing "the new thOughters' and a few other modernized thinkers are trying to teach us is, that we have a hidden force it will be well for us to become acquainted with, to know ourselves better, that we may get mora out of life for ourselves to enjoy, and put more into life for others 10 enjoy than we ever have done before. They do not mean to harm us. and our duIlness often ex- pressed by our contempt for their teachings doesn't excite in them meanness, but seemingly wellfound ed pity. Their lack of resentment and patient persistence is one of the very best evi .enceo they possess something we do rot. and manifest power of which we seem to be devoid. Some of them frigften us 1Iear1y to death
 because they call this hidden power, occult power, and they would do bet +er if they would not try to mystify what properly stated we must all rec cgnize we possess. Man has not been capable of ~exhausiing the power Heaven has endowed him with.

it is pity t.1e girl who smiles may be sinister as we'll sunny. The way the smile lights the face fixes the expression and impression. The smile as a natural gift may prove a lifelong blessing; but as a cultivated product it is ap. to be overdone-to be a repellant as4. The smile that is bright and cherry is the smile the poets sing about, nat the smile that not gleam of good heartedness. The true smiIe is go attractive that 1t has many commercials, but these are not of the color Love wears. A smile may redeem an ugly face CT 1t may mar face as lovely as that of Venus. Some people smile when a frown would be more fitting. The girl who smiles should be able to make a house sunny, and the hearts of many people glad.

Of this last edifics Mir. Gilman writes: This .ast is specially n0tewor- thy, not only because it is the largest and most impressive church building in Norwich, and ministers to the re- ligious wants of the largest congrega- tion, but because in 1911 1t WAS en- tirely freed from debt. by tre exertions Of the rector, Rev. Hugh Treanor, and was sol .mnly consecrated by the bish- op of the diocese.

Undisnaayed by his heavy loss, MT. Shannon immediately proceeded to erect a larger and more costly building for stores and offices on the same site. It was rhe first absolutely f1reproof structure erected in Norwich, and 1t not only protects it's own occupants, but would be an effectual barrier in case of fire in the adjacent buildings. This and other buildings erected by MT. Shannon are monuments to his enterprise.

WILL START FOX FARM
Utah Man Establishing Breed
ing Pens Couple Miles Out
of Three Lakes.

A new industry is now being
established at Three Lakes, and
it gives promise of being a mon
ey making proposition to it's
owner, and also means much
notoriety for that hustling little
Oneida county municipality, just
over the county line, and which
by all the laws of nature and
man should belong to Villas, the
county of dairy COWS and spuds.
Fred c. Cheatham of Utah has
chosen a site few miles east of
Three Lakes for the propagation
of black, silver, silver black and
silver grey foxes, and is stocking
his pens with prime stock.
Just last Tuesday MIR. Cheat
ham received aconsignment, con-
sisting of four pairs of silver
black foxes and one Great Dane
dog from the famous Collins Fox
Farm located at Reedsburg. Wis.
The shipment is valued at $1,000
and is but a small purchase, this
one to be followed by others as
quickly as breeding stock can be
secured.

camp this fall at Shorty Four
nier's hunting camp on Butternut
lake. To the initiated when a
story, a good one we mean,
comes from Shorty in its origi-
nal state it certainly is the best
ever; but, when Bishop lands on
it with both feet and tries to
steal the glory away from Four
nier in telling it as Of his own
m anufacture, the crowd general
ly fades away. A good sugges-
ton to Bishop and Korzilius is
to stop trying to camoufage
their stories and their friends
might then believe them.

GREAT MORALITY
PLAY AT DUPONT
For Week Beginning Febru-
ary Twenty-Sixth

Experience" the modern NOR
atty play which recently played
a phenomenal engagement of 1s
weeks in Philadelphia, is coming
to the Playhouse for the entire
week beginning Monday, Febru-
airy 26th. The same big cast, COM
pany and production seen in Phlia-
delphia during the half season run
there, will be seen in Wilmington
Positively no change whatever is
made in the cast. Ernest Glendin-
ming, who achieved such trump
in the role of Youth" in Philadel-
phia, will head the cast cominc
to Wilmington, and William In
gersoll will be seen as "Exper-
ience." Miss Margot Williams
will appear in her original roles
of Intoxication and Fraility, and
Miss Marie Horne will appear as
Pleasure.
Experience" is the greatest
sensation of the past ten years. 1t
is play dealing with the life of
the average young man of today
who goes forth into the world in

search of fame and fortune. The
play shows in ten vivid scenes, the
temptations encountered by Youth,
and the development of the story
shows how he triumphs over his
surroundings. The play has been
highly praised by clergymen of all
denominations. In Philadelphia a
number of sermons were preached
on Experience" and Rabbi Joseph
Krauskopf addressed his con-
gregation on the subject of this
play, advising every young man to
see it. So many letters were writ
ten by clergymen that the manager
of Experience" had them issued
in the form of small phamphlet.
Experience" has had phen-
omenal runs during the past two
years and half. 1t was present
ed for nine months in New York,
five months in Boston and seven
months in Chicago. It's appear
ance in Wilmington by the same
company which played these long
engagements in other cities, is an
indication of the regard in which
Wilmington is held by the theatre
