kind Of bootleg he is buying and how to carry it after he gets 1t. Barrett, Hazardville man, shoots his housekeeper and kills him. self, about nothing in particular. The suicide had inherited s6o,- 900, which put him on easy street, as the saying is. He had everything to live for. Bootleg, like corkscrew in his brain, pulled out the desire to live, and poured in the instinct to kill.
 
 In political times things are said and done that increase the friction of life. Those in poli- tics are prone to hurl accusa- tions against each other, which sometimes are true and some times are not. Two issues per meate the primaries, which are soon to be held. In the Repub- 1ican party, they complain be- cause the primaries have not been called in school houses. In the Democratic party the complaint is that within the party there is too little taking of counsel.
 
 It would be better to hold political meetings in school houses, which make it p1easanter for the women to vote. It would be better to have wide open party councils.

Bounding health is above all other gifts to man the finest. With it. all things go well. Without it the greatest joy Is incomplete. and the most splendid fortune of little conse- quence.

A solution of this import ant problem, now being attempt ed in several distinguished quar- ters. may lead to the solution of the problem "where do all the eggs come from that they suck l.. Wall street." The eviscerati ion of other peoples eggs is becom- ing one of the foremost ques- ttons of the times. No investi- gation will be entirely useless 4ud no remedy will go unconsidered.

 , Lloyd George hopes that ''The death of Collins will be the last episode in this dark chapter oi Irish history and that a new and brighter story will henceforth be written in the life of that unfor. tunate land" There will bs many other episodes. The un, settlement of a country is no the bits together Ireland vii gradually progress toward ordc and happiness. but the process as in all such cases will be s1ov and painful.
 
 In dying, Collins forgave thos who had slain him, following th example of the Cross. In secula affairs the forgiving often begin too late. Wrongs are accom- plished in bitter hate. They ar atoned in sorrowful blood. men would forgive more whil living. there would be less to for give while dying. Some cen turies have not sufficed to reac that men are brothass who wi pay bitterly if they act ur brotherly.
