WILLIAM DEAN HOwELLs.

A conspicuous example of going from the bottom to the top of the ladder is furnished by the career Of William Dean Howells who began work as compost tor in q country newspaper office at less than 75 cents q day and finished as the dean of American letters. It was in rec ognition of his great work in literature that he was crowped with the high hon. DTS from the worlds leading universities And it was not alone among the fellow workers in the field of literature that his bigness was recognized for his name has been before the readers of books and magazines for many years and his works have been regarded as standard. There are those of whom it has often been said that they wrote bigger than they act ually seemed but Howells measured up in all particulars to the high ideals that he set forth and lowered not only as i wielder of the pen and the user of sim pie but wonderfully expressive language put forth in his own graceful style but us man.
 He was a man of constructive ideas, a l lever of work, a close student of great l men wto had preceded him and in so l far as possible a close associate of older | literary men as well as those more near | 5 his age.
 | 1t IS as a novelist that Howells has | gained his greatest distinction and many are of course familiar with what he liked best of his own works Silas Lapham Indian Summer, The Quality of Mercy and A Hazard of New Fortune.
 In spite of his advancing years there was no evidence of any deterioration of his literary skill, though he had found ] lt necessary to eurtail somewhat his activities to the great regret of those
 who had so long and eagerly foIlowed his regular contributions Death ste3s
 in to end a brilliant career which ex.
 tended over long term of years filed
 with great accomplishments and ricf
 rewards. His example as to what car
 be done where there is the will to nakc
 use of the inherent ability stands out a,
 prominently as that of captain of in
 dustry.

A CANAnrAN MINISTER

In accord with tendency that has been manifested for some time it seems probable that the time will not be long before there are direct diplomatic rela- tons between this country and Canada. The idea is Co have the British govern ment appoint @ Canadian minister to the United States which Of course will mean the naming Of a United States minister to Canada.
 Under the present arrangement the Canadian an1irs are looked after by the British embassy. the British ambassador being representative of Canada as we'll as of an other divisions Of Great Brit ain. and with a Canadian minister it will Of course mean that he will be located in the British embassy. It is not a case where Great Britain is releasing a hold on Canada but it is apparently decided that Canadian feeling may be better sat isiied Co have one of it's own number chosen to look after it's interests iu con nection with this country. and in view of the location Of the two countries it can be appreciated that they are not few It would be possible through such an Arrangement for Canada to feel that
  it was in closer touch with it's own af- fairs even though it might not be any more ably represented In the end the same influence would unquestionably prevail and Great Britain would stand back of whatever action the Canadian minister approved. IL would simply be @ case of having a Canadian represent Canada in talking over affairs betweer the two countries instead of a Britisl minister and for that reason it migh be possible 10 look upon him more in tn, light of a specialist.
 Just what effect this will have upor othe- British possessions remains to b seen. for # each should have a specia minister it would certainly mean tn, same as the naming of a big committe 10 do what a small committee has hith erto performed. and a big committe doesn't always mean an improvement.
 The effort is not a new one. Indica tions point to the fact that it is in mos respects pleasing to Canada and so ia as the idea has been presented there ar pears 10 be no reason for objection O the part of this country.

addition to it's other troubles and the fact that it is practically set adrift to guide itself there can be no surprise that Armenia dreads the dark There is no telling when all of the worst of the past may be reenacted unless there are steps taken by the allied nations, which are and should direct affairs in that re- zion to insure them proper protection.
 It will not be possible to sit idly by and have Armenia crushed before it gets onto it's feet and there should not be such delay in insuring the needed protec- ton that when it arrives it will be too late. With the situation presented as it is to time for arranging the safeguards is now and the quicker it can be done the more beneficial will be the results. Armenia is entitled to it's freedom and it should be given the help that is need ed to insure it while those who are in need of the help that has been forward ed to them should not be deprived of it.

if the southern states should have white governments, the votes of those states in congress and the electoral col lege would imperil the republican party.
 The conflict between Lincoln and con- gress was forced to an issue on the last day of the session in 1864. when con gress adoptel reconstruction pan of it's own, under which it was to be the fin al judge of the state governments in the south. But the president defeated the bill by a pocket veto"; that is to say, he took no action on it before adjourn ment, which left it lifeless
 With the ending of the war, Lincoln was roping to complete the work of re- construction before congress met again and could renew it's interference with | him. Instead, the assassin intervened, I and when Johnson attempted to carry \ out the same policy, with the approval of l I4incoln's cabinet, which he retained, i congress broke into open revolt. He ap- pealel to the people to stand by him, but i his swing around the circle" as he de-
 scribed his tour of the East and Middle i West in 1866, destroyed the last shred
 of his influence in the North.
 Face to face with hostile, jeering crowds Johnson cast aside Presidential dignity and let loose the fiery passions of B. Grant who unwilingly accompanied him
 had to step forth to quiet riotous chowd
 in Lincoln's own town of Springfield. The yeneral recalled the disturbers to a sense 1 of propriety simpy by waving his hand
 toward the target of their hootings ant l saying, "The President of the United States" In the presence of a still wild CT mob at Indianapolis Grant felt i
 prudent to order the president to re-
 treat For he had been greeted by
 storm of bullets, but which were prob
 ably fired in the air.
 1 Apart from the republican politician
 and a mere faction of extremists, tn north was in favor of Lincoln's moderat
 policies. But when it became a ques ton between Johnson and the radicals
 the radicals won overwhelmingly in tn
 congressional election of 1866.
 With a two-thirds majority in the ney house and senate, the republicans over , rode the presidents vetoes, and con
 gress took command of the government
 The reconstructed states were outlawe6 : The south was divided into military pro , Ninces. The ballot was thrust into tn . unskiHful hand of the freedmen, notwith standing it was still denied the negro i

ARMENIA ONCE MORE.

While it has not been possible to yer fly all of the alarming reports about conditions in Armenia at the present time. they come from a region where the worst has prevailed, and the only surprising thing in connection with them would be that they should be per initted under the existing state of affairs tTith the allied nations standing for bet ter things there, recognizing the Ar Sncnian republic and telling Turkey what must and must not be done in that quarter of the globe.
 The Turks have persisted in their rnenacing attitude regarding of the re- suit of the war and the knowledge that the allies are committed 10 an Armen- ian government. Increased trouble is threatened from the fact that the bol- shevik forces have been getting new con- frol in the vicinity of Baku where the effect upon the Turkish influence in that region is naturally viewed from the worst standpoint. With the encroach- 1nent of bolshevism it has been necessary for the American mission for relief in the near east to withdraw from territory where many Armenians Ire located, for sst is the policy of the mission to keer a safe distance from bolshevik inhu- ence.

HE sALNArIoN ARMY FINDS.

As the result of the experiences in the raising of funds during the war the Sal vation Army has adopted the policy of making a short campaign each year for the expense of carrying on it's work for the year instead of relying upon the un- certain plans that had previously been followed. With a definite goal in view and with a more organized arrangement for proceeding the Salvation Army is now appealing to the people of Norwich for their help in insuring the eontin- uance of it's activities here during the coming year. For this there is required s6300 and those who are acquainted with the kind of work in which this treat organization is engaged must real lze that it Is worth far more 10 the community than the amount involved.
 In addition the Salvation Army local iy. as well as in other cities. is endeav- bring to get a substantial start on a fund for a building which will be a Sal vation Army headquarters. In this it is striving to get permanently located and thus to better carry on it's activities.
 Such a campaign as that underway cannot fail to appeal to the people of aHNThAEl 0lAtI tue U4t4llitl III W lllCll Aiile organization has worked and is working to give a helping hand to the unfortu- nate.

HER SERIOUS

There is such a thing as being too sensitive,' said the pretty girl suddenly and she blushed brightly at recolec- ton. q hate to attract attention--
 You can't help it, said the young man feryently.
 Well, hate to, anyway" said the pretty girl hastily, land when l see group of young men approaching l al ways hasten my steps and cast down my eyes lest they think I am a fiirt. The other day I saw vaguely group ot six or eight men coming toward me and was mortified to hear them whistling, calling after me and urging me to wait. I ran wildly up the steps of an apart ment house and crouched in the lobby, and barely breathed until they were safe ly past, but I was terrified for an hour Afterward.''

GAsoLENE CONSUMPTION.

Sometimes we are inclined to think that there will be no others who will have the opportunities that revealed themselves to some of the men who amassed colossal fortunes because they were able to develop and organize the business of supplying the wants of the people on a large scale. Perhaps it will be just as We'll if such great fortunes are not piled up but there can be little question with changing conditions but what opportunities for exploring and de- veloping new fields with view to serv- ing daily needs are still before us.
 In this connection it is interesting to note that we are increasing the con- sumption of gasolene at a rapid rate. Our motor vehicles took g per cent. more the last year while in spite of im- proved methods in gasolene production in the output.
 How this country is depending upon oil is shown by the statement of the fed eral bureau of mines to the effect that in March this country used 44,000 00( barrels of crude oil This was about 12. 900 900 barrels more than used ir March of last year and shows how rap idly we are burning oil. Thirty-fivt years ago the entire world was not con suming in q year as much as we useC last March.
 One effect of this is to increase tht price of oil Another is the possibilit! Q ia shortage and it is a question hoV | long we can expect to keep up this rat | and not be forced to rely for the greate | part of our supply from outside of tn i country especially when we are alread 1 getting Mexican oil at the rate of abou 1 six million barrels a month.
 Fortunately all oil is not found in thi
 country or Mexico, but with the con
 sumption of oil increasing as it is an ! the price mounting the opportunity fo 1 those who are so inclined to bring fort some other fuel which can be used operate internal combustion engines an do so more efficiently and more econom
 cally than gasolene does it would seer to be most attractive. It is perfectly ol
 vious that there will be a greater cor
 sumption by motor vehicles before thel
 is less and the gasolene supply is goin
 to need all the relief it can get.

 Well, I was afraid to look at him for fear that he would be encouraged to speak to me, and yet could hardly keep from it-you know a dreadful fascina- ton seems to take hold of you--"
 T feel it now" said the young man with bitter emphasis. @4
 Well, anyway said the pretty girl, growing more rosy, T could feel my arms getting rigid and I was perfectly inn pelled to look at him, so I glued my eyes out of the window on the passing land scape and reached into my coat pocket for a handkerchief, intending to use it delicately to break the spell you know
 T seized something soft, drew it out still looking out of the window-and at that fatal moment a violent sneeze burst forth I sti1ed it in the handker- chief valiantly-and then glanced down and found that I had been using my best white silk gloves"
 'What?" exploded the young man. Your white silk gloves?"
 'It's only too true,' said the pretty girl, dimpling uncontrollably. And that horrid man was looking all the time,' she continued. He flung his own window open and stuck his head out, simply so I couldn't see him laugh but I could not stay there any longer T got up and fled from the train, four stations from home, and walked the rest of the way with my ears burning; I shall
