LIFE TRIES OUT A LAD.
Hes handsome and he's clever and
his hand is touched with skill,
His brain is quick in learning. but
Nv doubts about him STILL"
Said Life, 'and so I'll test him,'aand
he summoned Failure grim,
pointed out this eager and am
bilious youth to him.
He winked his eye and whispered:
There's a boy I know is bright,
But I wonder il he's manly and is
brave enough to fight?
Just knock down the thing he's
building, wreck his youthful
dream, and then
Well see tomorrow morning if he
starts it up again.
1--WE let him be ~untroubled, for I
rather like the boy,
But the notion that I'm easy is a
thought l must destroy,
So block his way with danger, do the
worst that you can do,
And I'll see If he is willing to stand
up and fight with YOU"
Then Failure came n tried him
and he. knocked his castle
down,
And he spilled his hopes in ruins and
he Knocked him in the town; .
He sneered at him and jeered him,
but he found the youngster
Jane, F
For he answered each disaster with
I'LL get there. just the same!
Then Life called smiling Glory, and
he said: Its time to crown
A mar I have discovered, with the
jewels of renown;
He has fought his way through fail
ure, to his best he has been
~ true
Now / know the stuff he's made of.
and I know what he a do"

you belong to me. That's the kind of man that's in love with you, my girl, and don't you think for one in stant that you can play fast and loose with him!"
 Julia sat still for long time after the street door banged, staring straight ahead of her. She was going for this weekend to the little house the Scotts had been loaned in Belve- dere for the season, and she dressed and packed her suitcase very soberiy. Miss Poland went with her to the ferry, both glad to get the fresh breath of the water, and Julia had a rlotouS dinner with the Scotts, and a won derfu1 evening drifting about In their punt between the stars in the low summer sky and the stars in tine bay. When they were in their porch beds she told Kennedy all about Mark, and Kennedy commented that he certainly was a gratifying ardent admITer' sighed Julia, and went to sleep, not ilI-pleased with her role of the in accessible lady. But the fact that Marks persistence could not De d1S- couraged fretted her a good deal He rarely gave her a chance for a de- finite snub; if she was ungracious, his humble patience waited tirelessly up- on her mood; and if she smiled, he showed such wistful delight that even Julia's cool little heart was stirred. That he never stirred her in any deeper way, that his kisses did not
 
 to Mark. She would be all the sweet CT to win; he would wake her in his arms to the knowledge that she loved himi And Julia won, as his little wife, would be dearer even than the demure and inaccessible Julia of to- day. Mark fed his hungry heart on love tales; many a man had won a harder fight than his; these cold. shy girls made the best wives in the world,
 Julia began seriously to consider the maria ge. She visioned safe and pleasant life, if no very thrilling one. Mark was handsome, devoted, he was making money, he would be faithful to his wife and adore his chil- dren. Julia would have no social position, of course. She sighed. She would be a comfortable little compla- cent wife among a thousand others. She would have her silk gowns, her cut glass; she could afford an outing at Pacific Cove with the children; some day she and Mark would go to New York
 No. not she and Mark, She couldn't: she didn't love him enough to sit opposite him all the mornings of her life, to sell her glowing dreams for him. She had come so far from the days that united her childhood with all the Rosenthals-she had not seen Mrs. Tarbury. nor Rose. nor Connie for years She was climbing climbing, away from all those old as- sociatfons And she could climb fast CT alone,

which the boys make and gives them the full receipts from each article 1t had anticipated opening a store here in Bridgeport for that purpose. but it found that not enough things were coming in to keep an establish ment going. It frequently takes many weeks for man to finish one article as there are days when he cannot work at all because of illness Some things are never finished. They are just as they were left by the men who were making them when they gave up the fight to live.
 Post has been selling these various articles made by the men and has succeeded in ~disposing of all of them. It also takes orders for the things they make although this at best is a very uncertain business. Because they are i'll, the men are very tenn permental about what they make and once they take a notion that they do nothing on earth can tempt them One man made a very attractive scarf and someone who saw it asked to have one made in blue But he re- didn't like blue. He offered to make the scarf in any other color of the rainbow but nothing they could offer him could tempt him to make a blue one.
 Fills Personal Wants
 Besides supplying them with ma terials with which to work, the local post of the Legion also tries to fill all their little personal wants, no matter how absurd they sometimes seem. If T 1egleSs man pines for 2 pair of shoes. the Legion gets him the hoes to make him happy.
 A trip to each hospital is made once a week and the wants of each man are taken care of then, and what they have made, the pretty trays. gir- dies, bags and other gay things that are fashioned in their hours of ill., ness are brought back to be sold.

RAIL ROAD TO
 BEGIN SAVING DAYLIGHT, APR. g

Sunday, April g, has been selected by the New York. New Haven 6, Hartford Railroad as the date when trains an hour and operate them un- der the daylight saving" plan. This date is two weeks later than daylight saving was inaugurated two years ago and two weeks earlier than 1t went into effect last year.
 The demand for daylight saving in Boston and vicinity ana in New ork City, as well as the large cities along the lines otr the New Haven system of the company have decided to ar range a daylight saving schedule again this year The schedule which is to go into effect Jan. 29 is to be for only ten weeks and will be sue ceeded by the daylight saving sched- uIe This latter schedule is already being discussed and while no great changes other than setting all trains ahead an hour will be made, schedule officials are beginning to work on it.
 With daylight saving hours in eff feet on the railroad It Is expected that will also conform to daylight saving g hours and that the rural sections, all though the residents as a rule do not favor the change. will adopt it, at least insofar as their connections with the railroad are concerned
 In Connecticut the legislature last year passed a law making it illegal for cities and towns to adopt day light saving by ordinances or law and that act is still in effect Communi- ties last year adopted daylight saving by common consent" and it is be- ueved that d similar adoption will be made by communities in this state this year.

The history of his various promotions and his favour with his employers was absorbing to him; but the time came, when Julia was about twenty-two, when his determination to win her became a serious menace to her peace.
 His manner, which had once been boyish and uncertain, was in these days good-humouredly proprietary He laughed at little Julia's earnest most eager appeal only with a lovers fond comment upon her eyes. Yes, darling, I wasn't listening forgive mel" he said one day, when. with spark of real anger, Julia had begged him to make his calls at the settlement house a little less frequent ana less conspicuous.

 "Yes, I know" Julia said, gently, concealing an inward shudder. She went quietly back to The Alexander, mothers disgust. Emeline did not go south, but fingered on at home, drink ing tea and gossiping with her mother, quarrelling with her old father, and gradually eating into her bank ac- count. She called upon her daugh- ter, to Julia's secret embarrassment. though the girl introduced this over dressed. sallow, hard-eyed mother to Miss Pierce, Miss Scott, and Miss Poland. Emeline laughed and talked with an air of ease, was forced into silence when Julia said the closing prayer, and burst out laughing at its close.
 That does sound so funny, dolling. But I mustn't laugh" said Emeilne. I'm sure you do wonders for these girls. and they need it." she added graciously to Miss Poland. She fol- lowed Julia into the little kitchen.
 Don't she help you cook she asked in low tone, indicating Miss Poland with jerk of her much puffed head.
 'Sometimes she does" Julia an swered, annoyed.
 ''Hm!" Emeline said And she asked curiously a moment later, Why you do it is what gets me! Here's Marguerite going to get mar  I want you to go south with me; you'd have a grand time!"
 She stopped on a complaining note. her eyes honestly puzzled Julia closed the oven door upon some potatoes, and stood up.
 I'm perfectly satisfied, Mama" |" said she briefly I'm doing what l want to do."
 'Lordr' Emeline calculated. dis contentedly, vaguely baffled by the girls defniteness and dignity. She left soon after, Julia dutifuly walk ing with her to her car. Miss Poland said nothing of the visitor when Julia troubled, and lay awake a long time herself that night, conscious that Julia. in the next room, was restless and wakeful.
 Besides a certain troubled con sciousness of her failure to please her own people. Julia had in these years } more definite source of worry Mark Rosenthal was still her patient idorer, and if, like Julia, he allowed the flying months to steal a march hpon him, and drifted along in the comfortable conviction that "a little while would bring a change in Julia's feeling, still he was none the whom she sometimes found it very difficult to deal.

WORK OF DISABLED MEN
 ON DISPLAY AT LOCAL
 POST OF AMERICAN LEGION
Convalescent Soldiers Make Many Fancy And Choice
 Articles With Material Supplied By Comrades.

Brightly colored beads that tell a tale of illness, jewel boxes, pretty bags and gay scarves that speak of hours of pain, all these the work of hospitals may be seen at the Ameri- can Legion home on Golden Hill street For the local post of the Le- zion is probably doing more for the soldiers still in the hospital than any other in this section of the state.
 Originally the government supplied the soldiers with wool and beads and other things to keep their minds and hands busy while they were conva1es- cing. But the two for one" system was used. A man was given enough wool for two scarves, for instance, and he had to make two, one of which went back to the government and the other he was allowed to keep. The men found this very tedious and the Congress and it is now being consid- cred by that body.
 Make Many Articles
 Meanwhile the local post has gone ahead providing the men with the things they have wanted and allowing them to keep them. They have made scarves, wicker trays. beaded bags, and fancy boxes. Just at present they they were making fancy boxes from cigar boxes the local Legion canvass ed all Bridgeport cigar stores and gathered boxes from them every week.
 The men are allowed to make whatever happens tc appeal to their fancy. The Legion provides them with the materials they want Orig finally the local post intended only to care for the Bridgeport boys that are scattered about in the various hos pitals but it soon found itself pro viding for the others with them as well. As a result it is now caring for about 1000 men in the hospitals about here and New York.

GRANDLI
 FOR FAIRFIELD

Board of Relief Meets In February To Hear Any Complaints In Suburban Town.

The total Grand List for the town ! of Fairfield according to a statement given the Times today by Assessors 1 Banks and Bradley amounts. to s21,- 617,915. The resident taxable proper ty amounting to $7,973.250 totals the grand list to $21,S20,390. Exemptions l for soldiers and sailors, church pro- perty benevolent and charitable or | is the taxable list up to September 1921. The tax rate will be laid in 1 March and it is estimated that it will be IS mills.
 The Board of Relief will meet in
 February and at that time all com
 p1aints will be taken up- After the
 meeting the figures will probably be
 changed
 Ore interesting fact brought out 1 is that there are 142 automo piles in
 Fairfield. The amount of taxation on
 the cars amuont to s474,255. Dwelling houses after exemptions are taxable to the extent of s748,5175. Oyster grounds are taxable to the amount | of S3,15o.
 Every school pupil in Fairfield is filling out a questionnaire regarding individual vaccination. The name of each student is put on the blank, if
 he is vaccinated CT not, and the length of time since vaccination These per cautions are then because of the
 smallpox scare in Bridgeport
 There is no law in Fairfield com pell1ng school children to De vdcc1naI- ed and no order will be given by
 Health Officer Poole for a general vaccination unless the sickness should spread to the town. Dr. Poole advises all school children to be vaccinated as a precautionary method of pre- venting the disease.
 Vaccination in Fairfield will have some strong opponents, one of the most prominent men of the town be- ing violently opposed to it. A resolution was passed at the last meeting of the School Board urging all school children to be vaccinated,
 but this resolution is in no way com pulsory.

The Check in Business

Y UST money is counter for real wealth, O a check is counter for money A check bears the relation to successful business that paper currency does to the United States Government
 Back of the bank notes is an actual gold re- serve, silver, or the wealth of the United States, which is pledged to meet payment. So, back of the check is the actual cash or the wealth of an individual business or corporation which se- cures the payment of the check.
 In both the case of bank notes and the check it must be determined that they genuine. But while no one questions the capacity of the gov ernment to pay, the capacity of the drawer of check is not always certain.
