Sometimes youths Of this type continue their development al rapidly as it began, but not i'll the majority of instances. \ quick artis- tic maturity. as in the case Of a prodigy, IS no guarantee that such a child will surpass others ill later life But hope 10 this end swells the bosoms of the friends of every prod lgy; and anyway, while q prodigy is one there is much for less talented indiyidnals to marvel over

 Furthermore. there is the in- portant point that the guns were of the old Austrian type. many of which Were captured by the Italians during the war and since that time were ln the custody of the Italian government If the League deter mines this as a fact, then it is clear the guns were sold to Hungary by the Italian government, and not by private manufacturers.

CONNECTlCJT'S POLITICS AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Connecticut conoes nulta natural

Connecticut comes quite natural, by it's iron Inland. one-man, central.
 ized political rule. Occasional, some notable good is performed through it.
 But in the old days the steel l-rivet- d politics in Connecticut was in the hands Of men who were politicians and nothing else. and their politics versed upon astute statesna nship. Power magnates did not exist in those days; even railroad politico- magnates were missing.
 This refers, of course. to days when most of those now living were not yet born.
 One such Connecticut statesman Of the past had all enduring influ- ence in the nomination of Abra ham Lincoln as the Republican candi- date for president in 1860. Judged by modern standards. this gentle man might be referred 10 as a state boss; but he certainly was a differ ent kind of state boss from the kind that aiflict the commonwealths in this late day. He believed in iron Obedience 10 centralized authority, It is true, but there was substance, and not selfishness, behind the die tates of authority.
 Joseph R. Hawley was governor of Connecticut from 1866 to 1877. But he was the acknowledged state leader of his party for years before that ime-from before the Civil War, through the war and with more Or less strength until he end- ed his illustrious career in the I-njt. cd States Senate. After having been governor he was elected to the low. CT House of Congress from the first district. serving there from 1S73 10 iS75: then from 1879 to 1881. Then he served in the Senate from 1881 to loo5-24 years of continuous scr vice In the upper house,
 Going back to 1860, when he was the power in the Republican party m the state, he wrote the following iet'"r to Judge A. B. Calef Of Nj1- dleto"n, referring 10 the oncomjne state convention:
