There are two specimens among the minerals of the shepard collection in the MrEeunf of the New Britain Insti- tute. which are of special intcrcst in connection with the indust striar~history Of New Britain. These Specimens were broken from slaA of rock that

 obtain iron from which to rrake various article of hardware.
 Captain Lemuel Hotchkiss was born
 November s. 1741. and in due time
 learned the blacksmith trade Of his
 father. Captain Ladwick Hotchlliss.
 They both lived for some time on
 East street in this town. which was
 then part of Pennington They
 were joint owners of a saw mill on
 the so called Pond River" the upper
 Quinnipiac. This river lies westerly
 from the Slater Road with it's head
 waters in the town of Farmington.
 The old Andrews saw mill. which
 once stood on the north side of West
 Main street, nearly opposite the resi- dence of the late Cornelius Andrews.
 was built in 1T51 and the Hotch kiss
 mill was built n few years later near
 the old Pulling Mill, about one mile
 above the Andrews mill. About 1766 Capt. Lemuel built housa on tho
 Horse Plain Road" now called the
 Slater Road. He also built a shop of
 hts own on the river near the Hotch- kiss Mill. Quoting from Andrews Genealogy and Ecclesiastical History of New Britain. D 172. He had iron

Thoso who oppose a League may vote thu Republican ticket with the knowledge that their wishes will be carried out. But there are many who favor League of some sort. For whom may these people vote? That is a question they are asking them selves. There Is but one answ 'r as there Is but one issue in the cam paign--the League of Nations Cox is for. Harding against.
 It is not difficult to trace tho sud den Hop ot Senator Harding from a ono opposed The answer is, of course. in. tho actions of Senator Borah and Johnson. At the na,ioral convention these two pronounced League opponents threatened to hold conventions and organize third party if the Republicans did not cry the league into the discard. They succeeded in frightening the old Guard which ran the convention so much so that the confusing plank was adopted. IT it nad not hccn Tor these two thcre would have been little mention of the League in the platform. It would not have been a primo issue. But they were conctIiatcd. temporarily. by the plank which might be construed in any way. This was not enough. we imagine, there waa need of further assurances that the League would not he couutenanced before Johnson and Borah threw their weight actively in- to the contest. Harding finally gave that assurarco in return for their support. Hence his words. hence the fact that thero ia campaigning by tho two aggressive Senators for Harding. heneo they preach no League, at the same time recommending Harding. But the wing of the party which has favored League has been deserted. Maybe it will vote for the Republican candidate despite it's disappointment. possibly not. that remains to Do seen.

COMMUNICATED
ABOUT WRESTLING.
Jake Thinks That Habit Is Very
 Annoying One.


 1t may be a very pleasant paStime to the performer. while it may be and his listeners.
 It is a gift of nature, and is useful for great many purposes such as calling your dog, but it is absolutely tabooed among the most civilized of the nations.
 It is very prevalent habit in our shops.
 It is very derogatory to the interest both of the nearer and the sufferer, both employer and employe. The human being whom you see almost constantly. and consistently whistling feels an atmosphere of mu- sic hall, his mind of course is not on his work; where the work is cler ical there are costly mistakes, where it is physical there is a big heap of scrap.
 This scrap Of course has its mis- sion. it causes the whistler's firm monetary loss and by gee and by jinSo down goes the whistler's wages. Let's cut it out boys Let's keep our childish harmony for our fishing excursions and baseball days and will tell you about the baneful habit or carrying newspaper into the workshop on some other occasion, if the editor will let me.
 Yours truly,

A DREAM REALIZED

Tn every walk of life. in youth. in manhood and in old age. every man dreams of doing something wonderful something that will read liko fic- ton. Hts dream crowns him with a great halo which makes tho waking to tho daily routine almost a horror.
 Yesterday Elmer Smith, of the Cleveland baseball team. realized dream that probably has been ono which has affected tho thought of every ball player. The bases were full runners stationed on each waiting for a chance to make a run that would add to the chances of the team. The expectant crowd was holding its breath. The heart of the players beat hard. Probably somewhere from the bleachorI camo tho cry Homo run. smlthy oi' boy" Probably thsre was silence Then shot the. while ball straight toward the home plate. Smiths bat mssnit "fun on the nose.' It shot out-ohNpas the players of the opposing team. Brooklyn. The run nern started from tho bases on wlHch they had been held and Elmer Smith dashed after them.
 Smith had made homo run with tho bascs fun" inca vital game of tho great worlds series. When Elmer smith is old and gray and feeble ho will tell his grandchildren of the day and they will listen. open mouthed. College men Of twenty years ago | will remember q similar occasion. At New Haven Yale was playing Prince , ton in one of the final games of the wero two men on bases; thero Scrn
 two strikes on the batter. II waS the last half of the ninth inning
 | A young freshman, Stuart Camp. had won a place on the team. That In 1 itself waa splendid feat Young Camp was the batter on whom all de 1 pended now. Two strikes-two men on bases-thc game hinged on his | final swing. Again the ball shot from the pitchorA hand. Again 1t was met | by a bat svhng hy the strong. deter mined arm of the Freshmnn. Camp. <, Again it shot beyond the opposing
 players. Camp. tho modest young Freshman had won the game for his college. His hit vas home run.
 These arc events in mems lives they ' never forget. Misfortune or ill-henlth ' may overtake them, but even .thesa things cannot rob them of the memory | of thoso moments and thei thrill
 Every man haH it in hia power
