ton with her sisters, contributed to the pleasures and attractions of life in this town, to the construction of the golf links and clubhouse, to the planting of trees and shrubbery along the highways and in public grounds, to the beautifying and inn provement of the village and much else.
 There is, however, one benefaction of Miss Bella, which cannot be so summarily passed over. The Nor folk Library, around which her in- terest and activity centered for the last thirty years and more of her life, is her enduring memorial, little as she may have conceived it as a memorial. For this generous and far-sighted foundation for the beau tiful building and grounds, it's at tractive furnishings and arrange ments, its adornment with works of art, its rich collection of some twen- ty-three housand volumes, in addi- tlon to many current magazines and newspapers, carefully chosen both for the scholar and the general read CT, and for the munificent bequest in her will for the continued goodness, crowned with useful service and achievement, benediction to this community, an example and inspira- tlon to all. Joy and gratitude for such a triumphant record of good deeds and beneficent influence may solace our sorrow and temper our sense Of loss occasioned by the death of Miss Bella.
 cannot, and even if I could, I should not attempt to rehearse on this occasion the many deeds of charity and kindness of Miss Bella. Their memory lives in many grateful hearts, and knowledge of them Was confined often only to the recipients, and some times even their source re- malned unknown. Nothing could be more foreign to her modest and un- assuming nature and to her quiet way of dispensing aid and comfort to those in need and trouble than to ] make public record of these gen Crous acts.

I trust that I shall not he misunderstood by this reference, fol approve, as she did, of organized charity, lacking sometimes mainten ance of the library this town of Nor folk is lastingly and deeply indebted to Miss Bella's generosity.
 Unlike so many donors she gave not money alone, she spent herself by giving freely that which no mon

ey could buy, her constant personal interest, thought and oversight. Hence comes it that this library has, as it were, a certain attractive per sonality, a charm and distinction all its own, which seem to enshrine something of the spirit, and, with her fine portrait there, even of the living presence of Miss Bella.
 Surely no greater blessing could have been conferred upon this town than the creation of this really not able library, with few, if any, paral- lels in towns of similar size, and freely available for the use of the public. Norfolk has been made thereby, if possible, an even more agreeable and desirable place to live in.
 With her cultivated mind, sur rounded from childhood with books in her own home, and appreciative of good literature, no one knew bet ter than Bella the value to a com munity of a good library as a means of education and culture and a source of intellectual and spiritual satisfaction and pleasure.
 All the aims and desires of learn ing as set forth by Francis Bacon in a fine passage of "The Advancement of Learning" can here be met, albeit his intention is to point out only one of these aims as truly to be desired, whereas we should regard, I think, each one in it's proper place and pro- portion as worthy, "For men,, he says, "have entered into a desire of learning and knowledge, some times upon a natural curiosity and inquisitive appetite; sometimes to entertain their minds with variety and delight sometimes for ornament and reputation; and sometimes to enable them to victory of wit and contradiction; and most times for lucre and profession; and seldom sincerely to give a true account of their gift of reason to the benefit and use of men; as if there were sought in knowledge a couch, where upon to rest a searching and restless spirit; or a terrace for a wandering and variable mind to walk up and down with a fair prospect; or a tower of state for a proud mind to raise itself upon; or fort or com. manding ground; for strife and con. tention; or a shop for profit or sale and not a rich storehouse, for the glory of the Creator and the relie1 of mans estate"
 We may be confident that Miss Bella would have chosen as the high est of these aims the development ot the capacity ''to give a true account of the gift, of reason to the benefit and use of men,, and that to this end the library should be "a ricf storehouse for the glory of the Crea tor and\the relief of mans estate" Miss Bella desired the library to bC of the greatest possible service tc

Hlch, ked Blood Built Up by Pepto-
Mangan-Liquid or Tablet.
Blood is strong and full of life Civ
ing vigor when there are plenty of
red cells in it. Anaemic people have
little strength because there are not
enough red cells in the blood. 1t is
thin and watery. Weak blood makes
faces pale, pulls down the strength
and leaves the body tired, weak and
sickly.
A course in GUIDES Pepto-M angan
restores weak blood to its normal
strength. Taken regularly for
while it adds red cells to the blood.
Then with good blood, the strength
and vigor of health return. There is
pleasure in living, with good blood
running through the veins. Guides
Pepto- Mangan is put up in liquid and
IN tablet form. They are the same

scribed Guides Pepto-Mangan for

PRISONERS WRITE AGAIN
Upon the Eve of Their Departure for
States Penal Institutions.

Upon the Eve of Their Departure for
States Penal Institutions.
The following letter, addressed to
Sheriff and Mrs. Jesse ]. Ashby and
Deputy Sheriff and Mrs. Frank Blake
by the men convicted at the recent
term of the Circuit Court, was handed
the jail officials Monday night by one
of the prisoners as they filed out to
take the train for the State institu-
tons to serve their sentences.
Coming just at this time of the
year there is a pathetic note in the
missive:
ION the eve of our departure, we
ask this question: Is there honor
among thieves? and leave it to you
to answer while we are honestly
serving out our sentences which were
imposed by the Court.
Gas you may sometimes think of
us, just recall that we are only few
of the unfortunates who have been
victime eof circumstances. Though
we believe that the same God gives
sunshine to you on the outside He
will allow little to steal through the
strong prison bars that will soon sur
round our lonely existence.
I'VE are not asking you for SYM
pathy or asking you to believe US in
nocent, though some of us are, the
object of writing this is to thank our
kind and good friends, Sheriff and
Mrs. Ashby and Mr.. and Mrs. Blake.
We rgret we must leave them, for
God in His infinite wisdom has been
smiling upon their lives and casting
His brightest rays of sunshine upon
their faces and their lives. We in
the darnkess can see it where others
may not. We wish to thank them for
their kindness. Had we always met
with people of their spirit none of US
would be in trouble. This can only
be solved by those who think deeply
and sincerely.
we wish to say that our lasting
prayers will be that the blessings of
heaven and earth may be theirs and
that the tender and friendly smiles
may never be surrounded by sorrow
and pain, and we wish to assure them
that if it is ever within our power to
show our appreciation indeed it will
give US hearty pleasure and afford us
much happiness.
"The public may call us iailbirds
or menace to society, they may call
US what they like-we know our
hearts and so we leave you with a
smile and prayer upon our humble
lips for our return and your happi-
ness.
Goodbye to you all and may God
bless you.

Ha>~ i, March 1-Mors protests
again. ~le imposition of -meteer charge
by gas and electric light companies was
voiced q. the continued hearing before
the judiciary committee this afternoon on
bills to END this practice. The protests
and arguments were from ]. S. Blinn of
New Haven, who offered petition with
four thousand signers, and representa-
tives OF the Connecticut Federation of
Labor, a number, G. local labor unions
from Stamford .Naugatuck, Middletown
and other places. From Middletown came
L. o. Ran, corporation counsel to say
| that it was believed the meter, or So
called service charge, was fundamentally
wrong. He also said that gas and cleo
tric light companies, WIN they tear up
streets, do not relay them as we'll as they
were before, Senator Delaney interposed

some respects replied Mr.. Ryan.

creased its business and is able to pay
dividends, but the service charge it is
making viii be to it guaranteed divi-
