 You have the chance to be- long to either of the three classes. If you are a booster, your neighbor knows it well and will boost you. If you are aligned with the quiet class, you will not be regarded one way or the other, for the man who selects to steer in the mid dle of the stream, gets no SUD- port from either side. If un- fortunately you are a knocker, get ready to be knocked, for eventually it is coming to you. As you give, so will it be meted out to you.

THE IDEAL CITIZEN,

An ideal citizen is the one who sees clearly and ever something good in his town and never loses the opportun- ity to spread that good news abroad that others might de- rive the benefits therefrom, whose unselfishness prompts him to want others to share op- portunities, health and pleas ure which his home town of fers.
 Loyalty is the first requisite for the ideal citizen. The love for the place and his neighbors which dismisses the thought of self interest or policy and re- solves itself into the knowledge of duty when he does all in his power to make the city a bet ter place in which to live.
 There are three distinct atti- tudes which a citizen may as- sume toward the place in which he lives, which furnish es him food, shelter and associ- ation for himself and family, to boost, to remain quiet or to knock. The booster is that ideal citizen who is never for getful of the obligations which is due the home city. He is ever found at the front when any movement is launched which might tend to the advancement of the interest of the city. While others see darkly, to him good is visible at all times. The quiet citizen is satisfied to let the neighbor do the work and content to Hull the city asleep and let it rest. The knocker is the man without a country.
 There is no room for him any where, his presence dampens the enthusiasm of every man or group of men who unfortun- ately come in contact with him. Having no faith in his own

BE BRIEF.

The world is in a hurry: the demand of the age is brevity in all things.
 Poor terminal facilities for authors and speakers often nullify all their excellent wis dom. A man may possess all kinds of useful knowledge, but fail in discerning when to have done."
 Brevity is the touchstone of success in any field. You may offend your customer, your reader or your nearer in one respect and please him in an- other. But if you tire him with your tediousness, you lose him altogether.
 The newspaper leads the style today in pith and cogency and has educated the public to the expectation of receiving much in little. The well-executed car toon imparts a whole philoso- phy of life at a glance, or pro- vides silent comment on cur rent events worth a column of words.

Brevity is the soul of wit. Yet they who have wit, or think they have, are in especial dan ger of saying too much. Some one has said: ''It is better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to open the mouth and dispel all doubt"

 Pays Costs of Court
 Sebastiano Di Pitro of 95 Mitchell street, New Britain, and Gustave Carlson of West Hartford were in court last night before Justice Will liam Cunningham as an aftermath of the collision of their automobiles at Blossoms corner last Saturday night. Di Pitro was represented by Judge William F. Mangan of New Britain and Carlson by Attorney Stone of Perkins. Wells & Davis of Hartford.
 Mrs. Carlson Corroborated testi- mony of her husband to the effect that Di Pitro had hit their car. while Di Pitro and the occupants of his car claim said Carlson was at fault because he had failed to put out his hand before making a turn. Con- stable George Schubert testified that the New Britain car had travelled 106 feet after the smash and that it must have been going at a high speed. It was a question of the comparative reliability of the wit nesses, and Justice Cunningham ac- cepted Schubert's as the most credi- ble.
 He found Carlson not guilty of vii plating the rules of the road and nolled a similar count against Di Pitro upon payment of costs. Grand Juror Charles r. Conlon testified.

The score was 10. Freddy Miller and Tommy Dudack pitched wonderful ball. Mill CT allowing two questionable hits and Dudack permitting only five. me winning pitcher struck out II men and the loser nine.
 The only run of the contest was scored in the second inning when Babich crossed Dudack by hitting the first pitch, lofting a single back or short. Derby also cracked the first ball and smashed double to center field, scoring Babich. The only threat made by the Peck Spring was in the first inning, when Miller ended the trouble himself by spear ing line drive and doubling Smith off second.
 The two hits made off Miller were Of such a character that they might have been scored as errors, Dionne getting both balls at third but fum- bling long enough to allow the men to beat his throws to first. One of the hits off Dudacl was of simi- lar character. All in all, the game was exceptionally tight and close and the fans enjoyed it greatly There was a decided improvement in the umpiring, Eddie Goeb doing a fine job. Not a complaint was made against one of his decisions. Derby's hitting and Millers pitching featur- ed. The box score:
