THEY WERE KIND< ; THE CAT

to the Merkle fiat and hunted up the
 rubber tree. for they were certain to discover me sitting kanxiously beneath
 it's boughs, feeling it's pulse, so to speak.
 And yet I did not make use of the
 rooms It was enough satisfaction just to know that I had 'em-the same feeling that prompts you to wear your old tailor suit with glad spirit when you know you have perfectly lovely new one hanging in the closet at1 home. We kept on crowding ourselves even when the girls had company, and weeks went by with no word from the Merkle ladies. Finally when the girls were hav- ing three old school friends who had come to "a banquet spend the night, they struck. So after five weeks of peaceful vacancy the Merkle flat was | invaded. My two daughters went over l there to sleep-and you guess the rest.
 At 6:30 the next morning my bell rang and there stood the Misses Mer- l kle, just as tired and cross and dis | gruntled as two elderly ladies who had been travelling all night possibly could | be-. They wanted their key. When got it and amid apologies explained tHdL lily uduSHLS1S WStS SlSOpiHS III ! their flat I thought they would ex-
 pire on the spot. I suppose they had been dreaming of those beds and sleep ever since they started.
 l What might they ask, did mean
 by occupying their rooms? Disgrace | ful, resumptuous, in fact, criminal! Whey both talked at once and each one faster than the other, and maybe didn't tear over there and get the girle 1 up and out, so sleepy and bewildere6 1 that they thought the house was afire 1 the Merkle ladies following us around l and spilling a few more adjectives they had forgotten at first, their --..: nets more and more on one side. They l didn't give, me a chance to renEnc l them of their. ancient offer to hospital l ity. When at last I banged my dool l shut and considered the matter I saw 1 I could do nothing about the plants and the rubber tree, which would flourish in spite of me. But I led tt 1 the back door the cat, afl s1e->. ana fat from my expensive cream ant

 When they phoned about three hour' later about the cat I told them airl! I hadn't the least idea where thei pet was, and" | ''Meouw!" came from the bacl l porch
 "Oh, dear" sighed, the injured lady

A SANE DECISION.

. It is a preposterous proposition which. is put up to the federal fuel ad- ninistra.or by the mayor of New York to the effect that that city is not get ting it's full supply of coal in order to take care of all it's requirements and asking him to shut off the supply that Is going to New England, and Told up such priority orders as he had given in order. to furnish some. relief to this section; that New York may be supplied. This would mean that the priority orders which have been is- sued to the effect that 5G0 car loads of coal go to New England daily be cancelled and that priority order be issued to the effect that no coal can be permitted to. get past New York as long as that city needs any.
 it is not to be supposed that New York is not in need of coal but it is SC riously doubted if tho need for fuel is any greater than it is, in New Eng land, and it takes much longer to sup. ply the needs of the six states of ths northeast than it does to get coal into New York city. Thare are already in. stances where New York has seized coal which was intended for the re. lief Of suffering in New England, ant yet there are those in New York wht are actually wasting the fuel for dis. play purposes while New England in
 dustries are crippled and the peopl. shivoring with the cold. :,.
 Fuel Administrator Garfield was no awed. however. by the demand of New fork's new mayor. If he hasn't don, so before he apparently recognizes nov the needs of New England and he wa. entirely Justified in deelinning to ac
 eede to the demand of Mayor Hylan It cannot be expecte1 under existin, conditions that one section is goin, to be gfveE all it wants and thereb, make the condition of others worse

better use of daylight than is being done just at the present season. but the time is coming, and not so far in the future. when a tremendous cut in fuel consumption, can be made by setting the clock ahead an hour or so and from April to October it can be made of great benefit. We should. however. not wait until the last min ute to arrange for, such change. The earlier it is decided upon and arrange n1ents made the less the confusion that will be caused and when it is es- timated that s4o,oooo00 can be saved by such plan there. ought to be no hesitation in adopting it..

A business man might say to him self: This is time of patriotism and self-sacrifice, so will give up my mo- tor car and walk this year, as an act of national service. But at the end of the year he might find that the re- of the year he might find that the re- suit of his sacrifice was the loss of so much valuable time that might have been put upon useful, productive labor that the whole stood at a net loss to the nation. It is not this kind of econ- omy we must practice. Joy rides, care less driving, unnecessary trips we must eurtail But we must put the motor car to it's greatest uses ever in the matter of conserving cur national time for us.-Bridgepert Standard American.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Superintendent Tinker was probably right in saying that many children will find school rooms warmer than their homes. ?his is not by any means true alone of the poor. Some of the best houses in town have been colder than the schools. or than the hotels and theatres. In New York many rich people have taken up temporary quar- ters in hotels because their houses or apartments are cold. Many people in this and other cities flock to the nov ies for the comfort they find there through several hours of the day and evening.--Waterbury American.

Tremendous things are being done to coordinate the war resources of the country and corresponding promises of success are confidently held out to us. We arc not blunering on; we are pro- gressing with marvellous speed when wa take into consideration the de- mands made upon us.

The German government is being asked to explain in the reichstag why it does not take the copper roof off a chapel at Darmstadt, which is the private property of the ex-tsar.

It is altogether probable, certain even that the Connecticut Company loses money on great many of the passengers transported because they are carried so far for one fare. But there is no reason to suppose that the great bulk of city riders, in Hartford or any other large Connec- ticut city, were being carried at a loss at a fve-cent fare. There un- doubtedly is zone of heavy travel radiating in all directions from City Hall, within which passengers could be carried at a profit for five cents. Competent observers believe that such a zone would extend pretty nearly if not quite to the city line in every di- rection. The city is on safe ground when it raises the contention that it is unfair to penalize the people liv- ing within such zone because it is

The tenderness of the government for the property of the -tsar is said to give great offence to public opinion-London Times.
