$50 YEARS AGO TODAY
BY JONATHAN A. RAwsoN, JR.
Story Of the U. S. A.

Jonathan Trumbull of their State.
A few cavalry troops would be a
most useful addition to the Army.
Gen. Washington discharged the Con-
necticut troopers with much regret,
but he says that he could not do
otherwise, since he does not know how
to use soldiers who are not willing
to take orders.
A useful place might have been
found for the Light Horse in patrol
duty along Hudson's River, where
there is a long stretch of territory
now threatened by the invading red
coats, and where forage is plentiful.
Or cavalrymen could renger impor-
tant service on Long Island or in the
Jerseys, where Tories are plentiful
and all too busy, where the horses
need not starve and where the British
erS may betake themselves any day.
But the general had no further use
for these proud Yankees when they
rebelled against fatigue and guard
duty and so they are gone.
Gen. Howe's chief trouble nova
days is to address his letters properly.
When his letter to George Washing
ton, ESQ.," failed of delivery because
not addressed to Gen. George Wash
ington," he sent another to George
Washington, Esq, &C., &C., &C." This
one also has been returned to sender
for a better address.

Our Children By Angelo Patri

himself in one lesson. In the first
place he is an unfinished body. Until
his bodily growth is complete he can
not hope to have a matured character.
Even long after his growth is full he
will be at work on the structure of
his spirit, his true self. All the other
selves that pass before our eyes are
but tentative. Each of them merges
into the next and feeds 1t. We put
what touch we may for the day we
serve and trust to the next day for
the furtherance of our hopes.
Hopefulness and the forward look
are what we need for daily use while
we teach the children. 1t is very
discouraging to have the child display
one imperfect phase after another, or,
as 1t sometimes happens, all at once
and all together, but try to remember
that you, too, had to grow up and
remember your own struggles. Many
things you did in your growing time
that you would hate to have to tell
the children about. Yet you got
through and are doing your share to
make the world better for the
children.
1--WE done my best to teach the
children to be honest with me, to tell
me frankly what they think and what
they nave done. Now nn0 tnaI tne
two of them have deceived me to
my face. Actually helped one another
to deceive me. They wanted to go
to the moving pictures every: week
and 1 would not allow 1t. The pic
lures they could see were not good
for them and 1 took them once a
month to the better ones. Now this
is what they do. ] am completely
discouraged. Told me they were at
tending the Literary Society once a
week and they were at the movies.
What shall l do to save them or is
1t too later"
There is another day coming. The
chances are that the children are very
glad to have it over with. They had
no fun going to the movies under the
conditions. They will not do that
stunt again. But they viii do another
one. Cheer up. Teach them by your
example to be frank and open about
themselves and their doings and then
wait for another day to come along
and carry them over his hard place.
While they live and grow there is
hope and promise for the children.
One wrong action does not settle them
into depravity. Nor even a series. of
them. Look for the next day with
hope and courage and the children
will arrive all in good time. They all
have their bad times. @

Yankee Cavalry Goes Home

NEW YORK, July 20, 1776.-Army
discipline is apparently new idea to
some of our soldiers of freedom. Free
dom to do as they please is one of the
forms of liberty for which some of
them think they are flying to arms.
An unfortunate case of this kind has
been giving Gen. Washington one
more difficulty to add to his already
long list.
A body of leading Connecticut men
formed a cavalry troop, which they
called the Connecticut Light Horse.
They rode into town and offered their
services to the general, who was
obliged to tell them that, while they
themselves were heartily welcome, no
forage could be provided for their
horses because none could be obtained.
They then offered to provide feed for
their horses and arranged to have the
horses pastured near Kings Bridge
at 80 cents week for each horse.
They were then accepted as a divi-
sion of the Continental Army, but
when ordered to do fatigue duty they
refused, saying that they were
cavalrymen and should not be re-.
quired to do regular camp work or
even to mount guard. Thereupon
they were discharged and they have
now gone home and will submit
report of their grievances to Gov.

A situation recently arose in its

ployers were involved.
was quickly told that my ideas
were too strait laced, and that l
could not succeed in business today
unless / played the game with q
little more skill.
What do you think about my re-
naming in a firm which stoops to
deceit and lies?
Answer-The facts being as YOU
state. it is not time for thinking
but for action.
Provided you had substantial
grounds for your opinion and refiec-
ton confirms it. sever your connec-
ton with that firm tomorrow. tell
your employers your reasons for
doing so, and find work in which you
can own your own soul.
The employer who wants an en-
ploye to be dishonest and untruthful
TODAY is likely to deal dishonesty
and falsely with his employees tomor-
row.
The employe who connives at this
kind of thing forfeits his self-respect
and Injuries his fitness to serve honest
firms which have built their success
upon the practice of the square deal.
The old adage, HE who sups with
the devil has need OF a long SPOON

How does the beatitude Blessed
are the meek. for they shall innerit
the earth" correspond with the
grasping greed or much modern IN
ternational policy?
Answer--Mark Twain once humor-
ously suggested that this beatitude
explained the rapid expansion of the
British Empire. Speaking seriously,
the term meek" is not adequate to
the meaning of the original Greek
word. which is better translated as
the gracious, gentle people who radi-
ate true charm and who face the
losses of life without censure or
cynicism. They are known by their
kindness. courtesy, consideration, and
their freedom from passion or
prejudice.
Thus understood, meekness is not
an anemic virtue. True, 1t is marked
Nv self control but also by intense
devotion to life's highest interests.
The meek inherit the earth's best
peace and lasting contentment, and
render cheerful service.
In contrast, where are the nomadic
tribes which would rather fight than
eat. the nations that delighted In
war. the proud rulers and barons fun
If the lust of blood? They had their
day and ceased to be. Now they
have their night, and 1T promises 70
be long one.

 Growth of the State
 The latest census figures from Washington, which give Connecticut A population of l,606, 49l, is but an es- innate. In considering them that fact should not be overlooked.

If the rate of growth in population is sustained until 1850 there will De ap- proNlmately two million of Us in the state four or five years hence. That will be quite a population for a state having only trifle over five thousand square miles within it's boundaries l. Is to be regretted, however, that the growth in the population of the state Is confined for the nest part, io the expanding cities and other cen- ters of population. lt would be more satisfactory if the growth in par.
