TAKE A TIP.

Clothes don't make man, and scrubbed
face doesn't make the map Of ones soul. but the
scenic effect of summer holiday is more at
tractive because there are more clean collars and
clean faces in the crowds.
What cleaning up and dressing up does for
ones self, It viii do for ones dewingirs. .arNaeit
ones self. it will do for ones dwelling place. the
house, the yard, the back alley and the front
street. 1t will bring more brightness, happiness
and all the other material pleasures Of life into
the corner Of the world you occupy. Also it is
sanitary, and therefore lengthens life as it short
ems doctors bills.
You may scatter parks throughout city. You
may build sky-scrapers, city halls imposing
monuments, fountains. and public buildings. but
still be far from city beantiful. Nor do any
Of those things make it a city healthful
For city is nothing more or less than col
lection Of homes.
That city with comfortable, clean, SANTA,
inviting homes is q city beautiful to human eyes.
You may identify such homes by the absence Of
tin cans in the back yard, the lack of rubbish in
the alley. and the failure to find broken glass II
the street.
Block after block, street after street, Of sue,
homes make city beautiful It doesn't NAT or
whether they are rows Of mansions, or OF cot
tages. the general effect il the same-that of
cleanliness, order. beauty and comfort.
All this is the result Of bucket Of paint, grass
and flower seeds, raking up and repairing. It is
doing to the outside Of your home what tho wife
does to the inside in her spring housekeeping.
And there is material profit in owning such
. home. And in having neighbors who clean up,
paint up and dress up their dwelling places. For
it increases evalue Of your property to do this
Thus it increases your wealth, not only what you
do to your house and yard. but what your neigh
bofs do to theirs.
Nature chooses spring for her annual house
cleaning dressing-up time for IL il the best time
Nature knows. Take tip from her.

DANIELsON

Two burglaries the first here in many months, were reported to the police Wednesday morning. The. stores broken into were those of George O.. Thomas, dry goods, in the Hyde block, and Mdnle Joseph Cyr's. in the Cyr building. The Thomas store suffered the heaviest loss. which may amount to mere than s20O. There are cireum- stances that indicate the job was done by professionals.
 At the Thomas store a clean-u was made on shirtwaists, considerable number of white silk waists and black waists being taken. The store was quite thoroughly gone over by the burglars. who opened the safe, which was not locked, and pried open a money drawer, getting away with about S1s in cash.
 The burglars got in by forcing open a window in the rear of the store, facing on Water street. They must have remained in the store consider able length of time, for they searched through the shirtwaist stock with sui ficient care to get, apparently, what they were after.
 At the Cyr store entrance also was gained by taking out screen and opening a rear window. The loss there, so far as could be ascertained during Wednesday, was very slight the men taking only a few pennies. The breaks were not discovered un- til the stores were opened for business about ' o'clock Wednesday morning No clue was left by the burglars that would aid in their detection, but, it is pointed out, amateur cfaeksmen and burglars do not as general rule steal silk shirtwaists; that kind of work is usually done by men who follow breaking and entering as a business.
 Following is the official list of the men who qualified as matlssmen in the annual field day shoot of c company State guard, Capt. r. o. Huntington commanding:

JEWETT CITY.

Mark Twain tells in his book, Life on the Mississippi of certain stage in river piloting when the captains of several steamers cut down the pilots wages. In retaliation the pilots going up the river would stand right out in the current all the way up. and push, as the author says, the whole Missis
 sippi river in front of them. He says, young men started as passengers on some of these beats and between New Orleans and St. Louis they became old and gray, many dying of sheer old age. Much the same conditions exist at the one, and only railroad crossing in the borough of JeWett City, Town of Griswold. and the state road at that. The way the freights doing the yard switching hold the crossing is
 nothing less than a gilt-edged piece of work. Automobile drivers come up and down the state road. Young men, with young passengers and new ma chimes.
