HE HnarERy pEc1sIoN.

Fas reaching effects seem probable HSn the decision of the United States EaprUrns court in the case of the Winsted Ha1ry compauy. Tn this suit 1t was 1alleained that goods were misbranded that they did not mean what they said and that the purchaser relying upon the kFanaing failed to get what he supposed hs Wss purchasing. The decision of the rour9 Is that such practice Is against the law and that the goods which are labeled rhGs,a contain material in keeping there ualA
 D c not proposed to infer that this was khs @siy cornpsv where exceptions might hs taken to what was claimed under the Bsghod of branding the goods offered to Ehe psl5lic. The practice of claiming that asreain articles are all wool is general, even Co the extent that when that is sialnsd the purchaser makes a mental resggvntion concerning his own belief svel R he doesn't give expression to 1t. The fact Ia that there are materials in whicA many believe it preferable to have a tit Of somsthing else for wearing qual- lfiea But that is not the point that IS han1led by the courts decision.

Stories That Recall Others
Full Bloom.

Full Bloom.
 Little Mary was visiting her grand mother in the country for the first time. Everything was new to her and she spent sours running about the big gar den. Once she chanced upon a peacock a bird she had never seen before. After gazing in silent admiration she ran back into the house and cried out:
 "Oh grandma. come and see One of your chickens is in bloom p
 She Knew About Bears.
 Recently a five year old with her par ents spent a week end at the country home os family Of long acquaintance In order to entertain the little guest the head of the house 1old the following story:

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mayor Lerou D

Mayor LerOu Desired For Second Term.
 Mir Editor: This is the time when our political friends are talkings about can didates for the office of mayor. Now have no comment to make with regard to any of the candidates who have been suggested thus far but If I may be per mitted as 8 citizen locking broadly at this question of candidates irrespective of party politics. I will say that while it Is reported that our present mayor has said that he is not seeking a re- nomination, would it not be a grateful act on the part of our citizens to rise to the occasion and fs1~ MT. Lerou to become our mayor for another term. MT. Lerou deserves this for many good req sons which might be cited.
 In office he has not acted as par tisan, when positions have become va cant that were filled by men of the opposite party he has either appointed the same men or men of the same po- liticaI faith to succeed them.
 He has been aggressive in the improve ment of our streets and sidewalks. He everything that has tended towards pro- gress and the general good of our city. In 8 word he has made a good all around mayor, and to my mind Norwich would do as much honor to herself in re-elect- ing such a man as mayor as she would confer upon Mir. Lerou by giving him the opportunity to better in second term what he did in the first.

WHEN DISASTERS OCCUR.

There may be some individual prefer ence as to whether one would prefer to be in that part of the country tht is sub ject to earthquakes, the section where tornadoes are known to occur with too great frequency or In those valleys where foods too often visit and destroy. In any instance there is likely to be loss of life and destruction of proper varying in amount with the severity of the visita- tion.
 Just at the present time heavy spring rains nave served to raise the river to an abnormal extent. In this part of the country the worse of the trouble appears to be over but in Texas the situation is q sperate Likewise along the Missis- sppi there is a serious menace to those who are depending upon the levees hold

and was allowed thereafter to do bat small amount of literary wonk But notwithstanding his great age he was able to attend the meetings of the Royal Society and to receive with hospitality distinguished foreigners who were in rreduced to him.
 He was also deeply interested in the study of ancient history and devoted all his leisure time to readings in that direction Samuel Crell, a distinguish ed German divine, who paid Newton a visit the year before the latter's death, thus describes the aged philosopher:
 T also conversed at different times with the illustrious Newton, who died in the month of March at the age of eighty-hve. He read manuscript with out spectacles, and without bringing 1t near his eyes. He still reasoned acute ly, as he was wont to do, and told me that his memory only had failed him. A few weeks before his death he threw into the fire many manuscripts written in his own hand. He left, however, some to be printed, among which is one en- titled 'Historia Domipations Clerico- rum"
 After he had completed the new edi- tion of his "Principia' he abstained from all intellectual labor during the laNter naI or li26. But the following February, feeling that he was fit for the Journey, he went to London to pre- side at a meeting of the Royal Saolety on March 2, and in doing this he under went great fatigue, due to his social engagements.
 He returned to Kensington quite ! i'll but he improved sufficiently to be able to read the newspapers on March | IS. and his senses and faculties were still vigorous. On the evening of the same day, however, he become insensi- i ble and continued in that state until | Monday, March 20, when he expired
 without pain, between 1 and 2 o'clock | in the morning.
 Upon his death Newton's body was
 taken to London and conveyed to West
 minister Abbey. It was buried near the 1 entrance into the choir on the left hand
 A monument to his memory was erected in 8 conspicuous part of the Abbey in ! 1731. On 3 tablet erected in the house 1 where Newton was born, Pope inscribed the following:

FAMOUS MEN.
SIR ISAAC NEWTON.

When Sir Isaac Newton, the great English natural philosopher, died on March 20. 1727, at the extreme age of eighty-f1ve, he could say with the poet Thomson,
 " 'Tis done, the measures full.
 And I resign my charge
 Newton's was most active life throughout the entire period of his years, his unrivaled genius for mathematical speculation having declared itself ai- most in his boyhood. Many of the so- lutions of difficult problems that are ad.eptable today were unknown until discovered by this youthful genius. And as he advanced in years his great mind opened to the world many mysteries to such an extent that probably no other man who has yet lived was more pro- ductive.
 Fortunately for Newton until he had attained very advanced age he enjoyed almost uninterrupted health. Only the year before his death he was engaged in the preparation of the third edi- ton of the "Principia'H Writing re- garding his efforts at this time, Saund- ersen said: "Sir Is. Newton is much mora intent on his .Principia' than formerly. and writes almost every post about it. 50 that we are in great hopes to have it out of him in 2 very little tin.e

 Mystery and Surprise. A tied pack age or a locked room or a shut draw CT has an attraction for child be- cause it contains something unknown and stimulating to his curiosity. Any mystery fascinates him. and most Of all the mysteries of life itself. Fortu- nately he is surrounded by miracles that he can watch. for life is every where abundant. The mystery of a plant, with roots and leaves and blos- sems sealed within tidy box called a seed or folded in a tightly wrapped brown parcel called a bulb; or the secret that the cocoon holds, from the remarkable creature that spun itself inside to the same creature, wonder fully transformed, that will make it's way out; or the egg under the patient breast of old biddy, from which the new biddy breaks its way into large world than the locked shell, are mat ters such as the questioning mind can pry into with no harm to it's own healthy growth.

rhe Phohibltion canse.

MT. Editor: In answer to J. W. Carter of Attawaugan, I wish to ask few questions. Why did not the forefathers of this republic accept prohibition Did not President Wilson notify con- gress from Europe to rescind a part of the law? Was not the so-called Volstead act gotten up to stop so much grain be- ing used for distiIling purposes that the grain could be used for food? Are she legislative bodies of the various states satisfying the people with many of their laws?
 Remember Lincoll(s words: "A re- public is for the people, by the people and with the people" Now suppose we live in a country town ten or twelve miles from a city and some aged per son has pneumonia. Whiskey is gener- ally used in such cases. Just see and realize the stens to procure what is needed and essential in such cases, or where a person is badly run down. We are not promulgatfng case for the drumSards. We have laws to stop drunk ards.
 We read in Holy Writ where Christ turned water into wine and we are quite sure there is q little passage of scripture which says ''Take a little wale for the stomach's sake.'' It is our sincere belief that the prohibition question should be taken up at the ballot box in all the states and then after election all people should abide by the decision of the poole at the polls.
 Again we believe and know that there is lot of drugs substituted by the drinking class which is more harmful to the constitutions of men than little beer or whiskey.
  esrfmsed the prohibition cause? Of course all know that alcohol Is poison so is table salt if we use too much. ] am not in any way for long arguments over the cause but hope the people will rot grow weaker and wiser from thu use of drugs instead of glass of beer F W.
