i Stratford Aug. 1O.-Gelectman Ev- erett B. Snifin, who after months of arduous lsioors on South Main street, l has succeeded in making the thor ough6are the best in town. But this has not been accomplished without criticism. As MT. Sniffen lives in the the south end and has cause to use the street each day it has been said that he was giving too much attention ] to the street well as spending too much of the road appropriation in making the repairs which it has been thought was for selfish motives. But now that the story has gone the rounds and has gotten back to MT. Sniffin, the critics awaken to the fact most of the expense in putting the street in it's present condition has been borne by MT. Sniffin and that little if any of the towns fun - have lbeen used in doing the work. Politics has undoubtedly played an important part in the circulating of the erron- eous story but now that the truth has 'been learned many think that MT. Sniffin will receive the apologies of those who caused him to be criticised. According to the residents along the Ithoroushfare MT. Sniffin has without expense to the town had been in his employ scraping the street after each rain all summer and the impossible condition caused by the laying of the sewers has been entirely eliminated until now the street is without excep- ton the best in town.

Sum Up the Situation In

Judging from their appearance, the
two gentlemen who were visiting Lon
don from the north Of England hadn't
been troubled overmuch by food regu-
lations or shortages. More, their bulk
suggested proiteering in every direc-
ton.
And their wives were not much
smaller. Plump didn't really describe
them; they were worse than that.
Going along the Strand, the tire of,
the taxicab which had the job of carS

rife bang. OF course, the usual crowd
collected like magic, and prepared to
watch for the free show.
AT the request Of the driver Of the
taxi, his four fares descended one by,

a small newsboy began to google, and
when the four Of them stood In a
row on the curbstone, he eyed them
solemnly, and then exclaimed:

UMPlRES DO NOT USE

Plastering Fines for Kicking Is
Not Well Done.
Some Arbiters Stand for Murder From

Of course, as lot of magnates de-
clare, we must have discipline in the
great national pastime and, the umpire
is the representative of law and order
and all that sort of thing. But some
times some of the umpiring is more or
less rotten and calculated TO draw as
loud squawl from the player as ii
does from the innocent bystander Mr..
r. Bipling has said something about
the American inclination to flount the
law he makes or something like this,
and this national trait very naturally
creeps into the national pastime, or
else it wouldn't be a national pastime.
1t would be an international one like
tennis, where umpire never yet has
been forced to duck pop bottle even
in st. Louis.
1t may be that am an outlaw at

But marriage had removed the gilt

At last Donald felt he could stand

Decency.

We don't know any better way of
getting along in this world than by
just doing the decent thing. Success
experts may go right along preaching
the doctrine of skill and application
and energy and efficiency and what
not, but when you get it all boiled
down the fact remains that success is
nothing more than doing the right
thing because it's the right thing to do.
There never was q decent chap who
wasn't success, nor an indecent one
who was. Cheats sometimes get rich
and bull-necked selfishness now and
then gets to the top. but they don't
succeed. Nothing but decency wins
friendship and appreciation and well
come anywhere. and that's all that
counts in the end.-Detroit Free Press.
