DON'T BE LIKE THE DUCK

Once upon u time there was a duck
that kept laying nice, large, delicate
ly colored eggs all summer. At the
end of the summer she complained
that her efforts were not appreciated.
Look at that hen over there she
said petulantly, "she hasn't laid near
as many eggs as l, nor such large
ones, but she has books written about
her and poems composed in her honor.
'Tain't fair-that's what it amt. No.
body says a word about me-
"Madame," said the rooster to
whom she addressed her remarks,
"the trouble with you is that you don t
tell the public what you have done.
You lay an egg and then waddle off
to the pond and never say a word
about it, while that wife Of mine never
lays one without letting the whole
neighborhood know at. If you want
to get your name and virtues into the
barnyard, you must learn to adver-
tise every time and all the time"
All of which recalls to mind poem
once used by the cyclonic Eva Tan
quay in vaudeville In this poem she
described the the dilatory tactics Of a
peddler Of CLANS in Baltimore, who
carried a fish-horn with which to
announce his coming with seafood.
The peddler. becoming discouraged
over business in one block, did not
continue to blast his. trumpet, and,
consequently, made no further sales.
The finishing line. to this poem we
recall as: "Toot your horn, mister,
if you don't sell a clan-or others
will outsell YOU
In early days the methods of adver-
tising often were accomplished by the
use Of bell in the hands of an ener-
getic Town Crier. Today the Ameri-
can public has the advertising-rea
ing habit to guide itself when seek
ing knowledge of things generally.

MY EVENING PRAYER

C. Maude Battersby, in Indianapolis
News.)
If have wounded any soul today,
II ! have caused one foot to go
astray-
Good Lord forgive!
If have uttered idle words or vain,
IF T have turned aside from want or
pain,
Lest I myself should suffer through
the strain
Good Lord forgive!
If I have craved for joys that are
not mine,
If I have let my wayward heart re-
pine,
Dwelling on things of earth, not of
things divine
Good Lord forgive!
If I have been perverse, or hard, or
cold,
If I have longed for shelter in the
fold,
When Thou hast given me some part
to hold
Good Lord forgive! !
Forgive the sins I have confessed to
thee,
Forgive the secret sins I do not see,
That which 7 know not, Father,
teach Thou me-
Help me to live.

JEWETT CITY

Jewett City people are much interested in, and many will attend, at the Strand theatre in Norwich the famous screen comedy, Oh, Mary Be Careful, by the famous author, George Weston of Plain
 field. Seven years ago, upon the invi- tation of the arrangement committee of Mount Vernon lodge, who were then
 preparing a program for the annual la dies night. George Weston came to Jew cit City and gave an exceptionally pleas
 ing address. touching upon his work as an author.
 After the conclusion of the program MT. Weston was one of the gallery spec tators who enjoyed the attractive fig ures of the dance. He told Jewett City man later that it was at this time he received the inspiration wfdch caused
 him to write ohl Mary Be Careful. First the story ran in a leading pub lication then appeared In book form and now the attractive narrative appears on the screen. The scene is laid on Black Hill. few miles above Jewett City, and the characters who will be seen for | the canvas are in no wise fictitious. for they include Fred Briggs. John Kings i ley. Dr. Chase. Tom Brown Bill Roode and Mir Starkweather. All through the play are allusions to Jewett City. Plain- | field and that locality known as Tadpole.
 There were several handsome girls on ! the floor that night whose names were Mary. As to which one furnished the | inspiration the deponent saith not. Yet i it always looked like and the finger pointed to, one Mary. more attractive ! than the rest, who later married a Nor i wich man.
