UNSOIVED.

Amid my books I lived the hurrying
years,
Disdaining kinship with my fellow
man;
Alike ITO me We're human smiles and
tears,
cared not whittier Earth's great
life-stream ran.
Till as | knelt before my lnoldered
shrine.
God make me look into a wonan's
eyes;
And I. who thought all earthly wis
dom mine,
Knew in lncment thai the eternal
skies
Wee measured but in INCHES to the
Q,ics'
The: lay before me in that mystic
gaze.
Surely I have been errarst; It is best
That | should tread with men their
hum9n ways"
God took the teacher, ert, the task
was learned,
And to my lonely boolssi again j

WHY NOT PULL TOGETHER?
Nebraska State Journal.

An effort is being made in Altoona,
Pa, to do away with the hostility eX-
listing among the working classes
against tho commercial interests. The
chamber of commerce is working on
plan to secure close cooperation
with the central labor union. In the
west the farming classes as well as the
laborers and also many of the salar-
led people in the towns are IN a state
of chronic criticism of the commercial
clubs. This feeling is increased by a
persistent campaign conducted by

HE TALKED WITH LINCOLN.

One of the decreasing number OF
mon who knew Abraham Lincoln with
some degree of intimacy is Col. Can
to II. Menesly of Troy, N. Y, who
was on the staff ofGeneral Wadsworth
at Washington during the civil war.
He is quoted in the Troy Times:
81 met Mr.. Lincoln under all COM
ditions, day and night, and one one
eventful occasion | spent whole
night in his presence, At this meeting
were allmembersof the cabinet and Il
large number of senator's and con-
gressmen, the main subject u.ader
consideration being the ability and
character of some of the prominent
generals at the front. These officers
were freely discussed, but in all of
this animated talk the president was
in no sense excited and was persistent
in respect to honest Judgment, lebuk-
ing every word of bitterness.
When 1t became necessary to re-
lieve an officer of very high rank in
one of our armies, because of this Of
ficers' inability to command troops,
Mr. Lincoln, through a sense of duty,
issued the order of removal, but in
such a kind and beautiful form as to
cause the deposed officer to publish
a statement that the president, in his
tender sympathy, had made him near
ly as happy in his removal from office
rs he would have been by notice of
his promotion In rank.
MY Lincoln made many calls upon
General Wadsworth. who was the mill
tary governor of the department of
Washington and, since | was associat-
ed with this officer, | had frequent
interviews. with the president. When
ever Mr. Lincoln found that General
Wadsworth was engaged with visitors
he would not force an interview, by
reason of his personality, but would
say, 4 will wait my turn.

About one million bachelors will
begin to wonder il the sweet domestic
life isn't the only existence after all,
and will decide to marry and settle

Because there's nothing else to DO
and no place to 20 but home.
About q million wives will decide
that they can afford to take a nice
long summer vacation at the seashore,
Because there will be more money
in the eXchequer--
And so much less temptation in the
city.
About two million men who thought
they We're desperately in love will dis
cover that it was wine, and not love,
that was making the world go round!
Several thousand telephone girls

dearth of business between and 6

The usual hour for breaking dinner

At least twenty thousand society
matrons will wonder how on earth
they are going to manage to put

With nothing to make the guests
forget the horrors Of the food.
And the deadly dizziness of the
company
Hundreds and hundreds of New
Workers Will decide suddenly to lead
the simple life,
Instead of waiting to reform be-
tween the last dose of medicine and

And the rest of the world will go

eating, laughing, weeping, hoping,
struggling, living and dying
Just as usual!

NEW CHINESE ALPHABET
DEVELOPED.
Nebraska State journal

NebIdshd IoldlG JUuTlul.
Somewhat to the disappointment of
many foreign scholars the Chinese
government has succeeded in devel-
oping a new phonetic alphabet which
promises to take the place of the old
system. 1t was hoped that the cum
bersome old alphabet which required
to make facility in reading almost a
life task would be junked in time and
replaced by the occidental system. The
new alphabet has 80 simple charac-
ters. These singly or in combination
represent every sound In the Man
DARN dialect which is now the official
national language. 1t has been found
in tests which convalescent patients
in hospitals that an ignorant Chinese
peasant can learn to read in from
three to four weeks. A scholar can
master the new alphabet in few
hours The Christian missions are
adopting the new alphabet in their
work. In a short time they hope to
have nearly 100000 persons capable
of giving instruction in the new alpha
bet Incidentally the missions hope
to use this new and simple system in
teaching the principles of democracy
to 100000 Chinese people.

When one supplies war funds TO
the government it is not case OF
everything going out and nothing
coming IN. April 18th the treasury
issued checks amounting to $4,000, 600
TO Liberty bondholders in the federal

part. The recipients of this interest,
which comes along twice a year. can
do no more thrifty act than to turn
it back in exchange for War Savings
stamps, thus compromising interest on
sums usually too small to he other
wise loaned safely.

Burleson recognizes that he is

AFTER ROAD HOGS
Motor Vehicle Department Will
Revoke License ..a-.' :,

Owing to the tremendous increase
in Saturday and Sunday traffic this
year on state roads, the motor We
hicle department has found it neces-
sary to direct its corps of inspectors
to prohibit the practice of cutting
in" on the part of automobile opera
tors.
Sunday motor vehicle traffic is be-
coming SO heavy on through roads,
particularly the turnpike and the
river road from Hartford, that ma
chimes appear in long lines, travel
ing in both directions, with but short
space allowed between them. The
motor vehicle department has set
out to discourage the practice of any
one of such cars turning out and
squirting ahead to pass the others, as
it is considered to be dangerous not
only to the one trying to pass but
also to all the others being passed.
Inspectors of the department have
received instructions. to require mo-
torists to keep in line until such pro-
cessions are broken up.
The future policy of the depart
ment will be to remove such drivers
from the road as being improper
persons to operate motor vehicles on
public highways. Substantiated evil
dence that driver has committed
such an offense will be considered
sufficient cause for immediate revo-
cation of license.

LOCAL TEAM LOSES
TO SEMI-WINSTED NINE
Lack of Pitcher Gives Visi-
tors An Easy
Victory

The Canaan baseball team metVde-
feat at the hands of a team repre-
senting Winsted on the local diamond
Saturday afternoon before a large
crowd. Winsted had bolstered up its
team with several fast Torrington
players and this fact together with
lack of a pitcher gave the visitors an
easy victory.
The visitors started the game with
their regular pitcher and the home
team scored three runs in the first
inning. Pond, of Torrington, was
then put in the box for Winsted,
who, while not having many real
twisters, displayed such great speed
the local boys were unable to find
him. It might be added here that
the regular Winsted team was de-
Ffeated in Torrington on Sunday 10
to 1. 1t is safe to say that if real
pitcher was in the box for. Canaan
the score would have been the re-
verse and the players are anxious for
a chance to play third and decid-
ins game. ......
The box score of the game was as
follows.

LEAGUE SELLS JULY MILK
FOR $3.O1 PER HUNDRED
Lack of Ice Causes Refusal of
Many Cans of
Milk

League milk for July has been sold
for 1901 per hundred pounds for 3
per cent milk. This is the base price
at 200 miles from New York. The
usual freight and butterfat differ
entails apply. The price obtained by
the price plan which has been in
operation between the producers and
the dealers since April LIST. During
the months of April, May and June
an arbitrary deduction of Is cents
was made because of large amount of
milk produced in these months. But
according to the plan no deductions
are made except for these three
months, and arbitrary additions ARE
made in other months to allow for
the cost of production. This addi-
ton for the July price is 16 cents a
hundred. -.
There is very little time in the
year when farmers do not have to
feed grain. to supplement the pasture.
The least grain is fed during the
month of June, but in July when the
pastures become dry and burnt, con-
SluCldOlS qUduLlLlCo VI gram nave W
be fed. There has been a gradual
but almost steady advance in prices
of feed during the past year, and at
the present time the price is the
highest in the history Of the indus
try with prospects that it will keep
on increasing. The price of hay also
has reached the record mark.
The dealers, the railroads and the
farmers are having all kinds of
trouble in cooling and preserving the
milk owing to the great shortage of
ice. The open winter made it impos-
sible in many sections to put in an
adequate supply, and there are many
farmers and dealers who have no
ice. This makes it necessary to cool
the milk by water which is on some
farms almost an impossible task. The
result is that thousands of cans of
milk are being refused at the sta
tions because the farmers are unable
to get it to the stations at the tenn
perature required by the Board of
Health.
