 Out at Hartford "Souveniry W. HI Taylor is busily engaged in flashing | this message around the state to thou l sands of his friends: "'Twixt optimist | and pessimist, the difference is droll 1 -the optimist sees the doughnut; the | pessimist sees the hole." It is a pleas | ant reflection for Putnam people that
 Mir. Taylor always claims Putnam as his real home. Hartford has him, but he is Putnana's own. !

 Out at Hartford one of the state's leading democratic papers is trying to start something by naming a republi- can candidate for state treasurer to l succeed the present incumbent, G. Harold Gilpatric, of this city. When
 the time comes for naming a candi- l date for state treasurer on the repub- l lican ticket the chances altogether are l that the republicans will have some thing to say about it-and propagan-
 da will not amount to the price of the valuable white paper now being vast ed by leading organ of the opposi- ton party. The chances decidedly are 1 that Treasurer Gilpatric will be a nominee of the republicans to succeed hhimself
 l Captain J. H. BuIser is on the trail
 of Putnam's Jakey brigade. It ap-
 pears that this prohibition-t times
 drink, which varies anywhere from
 ST 1-2 to ss per cent. of alcohol, is
 being sold wholesale in Putnam. The
 active head of the police department
 has quietly been making some inves- l tigations during the past few days , and has learned a few things of more !, than passing interest. For instance, the captain has been informed that one grocery store disposed of a gross , -144 bottles--of Jamaica ginger with
 in one week. This was at just one
 place. What the total sales were here : during the same peried is assumed to have been many times that amount. : The common council of this city has , voted that the pay of members of the : fire department be increased from $3e : to $40 year. this being regarded as none too much for active members of
 volunteer department The council I has also voted to boost the salary of the chief engineer from SITS to $500 a year and to give substantial increases to the assistant engineers, who are to s receive $l0o year.
 f The council also showed favorable e consideration to proposition pre- II sented by Assistant Engineer Ralph s Thur ston to have the city authorize e the purchase of motor driven hook : and ladder truck. The present piece t of apparatus in the ladder branch ot VI the department is regarded as anti Q quated and inadequate to the needs ot t such fiourishing city as Putnam. n Grove street, on its northerly side a is again torn up from near Kine Il street to the westerly end of Rims
