you know, is the mysterious "Mr. Smith" who some time ago gave $1O,0O0,000 to Boston Tech. Yes, our subscription list contains the names of many influential men and women who made their money mak- ing Kodaks or on the stock exchange. On the quiet, some of them are even in politics!
 "How about backing" I asked.
 We've got it but we don't need it. Our advertising pays all ex- penses and profit besides. However, the following names are on blank checks which hold in case of need: J. B. Mabon, president New York Stock Exchange, Carol J. Post, J. O. Low, Startling Childs, Fred Wolcott, Francis Noble and other capitalists whom Dun & Bradstreet's will tell you all about.
 "How did you ever get Wallace Irwin up here? Didn't he write 'Hashimura Togo for the Saturday Evening Post? \
 Yes, he's the same man and he also conducts column in the New York Tribune. I got him the same as I did McCutcheon and others, in cluding Edward Peple, Michael Pupin and Arthur Frothingham.'
 "It seems to me, MT. Street. I re- marked, "that before now literary colonies have been the ruination of town. See what they have done down in Canaan and up in New Hampshire. Why in some places Pm told they fight like cats and dogs.
 That may be- said MT. Street, but in Norfolk we have an unusually broadminded colony and any way, the geographical location and formation of Norfolk has been taken advantage of to preclude a rumpus.

 Appropriate Sentiment l'3 Written by Certain Gentleman after a walking tour through Nor folk, Conn. See Road Map.) Fair Norfolk! On thy summer breeze
 Majestic ellums nod,
 And even thy rivals cannot sneeze
 At all thy goldenrod.
  And if tc scale thy noble heights
 To walk one does not care Jerry Maloney's limousine VII, e-acly take one ihere. Into thy libra,ree one looks
 With feelings quite secure; And there you'll find no Jurgen books To make the mind impure. Around thy noble village green With poems on each tree On every pleasant day we seen | The steeds of Gertrude Lee. Here George McCutcheon woos his muse,
 Here Irwin tunes his Tyre, Here one may meet great Julian
 Sped by the Bucks tire. When Edward Peple writes a play
 We're joyful, every one, And sit around the stove and say,
 "Just look what Norfolk donew i The wicked city may be proud Of subway trains, by jings, But none can say with testing loud
 That Norfolk's out of things. Proud Winsted boasts her narts of r trade
 !. And wondrous sights galore; But have you see>the movie show Above O'Connor's store? Folks journey here by autumn
 1' To eat at Cora Browns And strengthened thus, they swiftly
 To play on Norfolk Downs. But those who start by c. N. E. To VlSlt fair Nor-fawk 1 Grow tired of travel, same as me
 The quickest ways to walk. -Kremlin E. Prowle.
