 MT. Robertson is we'll known here and takes great interest in town matters. He is a familiar figure at c. o. P. caucuses. It is said that MT.

MAGGETER[ UNHURT IN GAR COLLISION Hold on Wheel Saves Him
 From Injury
 TWO CAUCUSES TONIGHT
Sportsmen Attend Outing At New Hartford Held By New Britain Fish ard Game Association-Hop- ktns Family Holds Reunion.

Charles Maggeteri of New Britain road, Kensington, escaped serious injury early Saturday night when the car he was driving met in a head-on collision with on driven by Homer Woodbridge of 1S7 Cross street. Middletown at the intersec ton just east of the railroad under pass in Kensington.
 When the two cars came together Naggeteri was catapulted through the window of the sedan in which he was riding and onlx escaped being thrown against the abutment of the bridge by the fact that he had a secure hold on the steering wheel So great was the strain on the wheel from the excessive pull caused by the weight of his body that the steering post was bent to 15 or 20 degree angle.
 Maggeteri was proceeding in a westerly direction at moderate ing the intersection he noted the other car coming in the opposite direction. The other driYer evi- dently became confused and turned directly into the path of the local mans car it is said with the result that the front end of the sedan which Maggeteri was driving was completely steven in. Despite the crash Woodbridge's car was with out serious damage and was able to proceed from the scene of the acci- dent under it's own power.
 Maggeteri was driven to his home by Woodbridge after Consta ble George Kanupka had made an in vestigation of the affair for the po- lice finding no cause for arrest when both drivers agreed to settle the damage.
 Republican and democratic voters of the town of Berlin @ill hold their caucuses tonight for the purpose of nominating their candidate for the town offices. Republicans will meet in the town hall at o'clock while the. democrats will gather in Tabs hall in Kensington at the same hour
 A pre-view of the republican sit uation a few hours before the party caucus would indicate that the ma chine candidate would experience little trouble in being named for the various positions to which they as- pire.
 Tax Collector Charles F. Lewis is holding the most coveted position in the town government if the candi- dates seeking the same post is any criterion. A three -cornered fight for this position has been furnishing po- litical enthusiasts with topics for no end of spirited conversations throughout the entire campaign. He will be opposed at tonight's caucus by Arthur J. Marienni and Myron Goodrich.
 Marienni is a newcomer to the po- Etical field in Berlin, having set out to seek public office for the first time during this campaign. Good rich was candidate for the same office at the last election and de- spite the popularity of the incum- bent gave good account of himself at the primaries a year ago.
 All three of the men have been conducting active campaigns during the past few weeks.

,Child's Condolences to Mother
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

/ too vivid establishment at what she may
hear
If child Is shocked at the talk or the
actions which she Is conflding in heT
mother, then the mother can share her
child's attitude. But whether she does
this or has to quell her feelings, she
can exert her influence in the right d.
rection, and this is the essential thing
Because she does not, by word or ac-
ton. appear to be disturbed, although
her child thinks In modern terms and
talks In them, does not alter the real
state of affairs.
1t is the mothers part to help her
child to see things straight, and to do
1t so carefully that 1t does not offend
or condone. If she offends, she cannot
expect her child to come TO her to talk
over things that distress her or puzzle
her. The child will find some other
confidant. There are few young per-
sons who can keep from talking over
affairs as they affect themselves or as
they touch others among the group of
friends. On the other hand, If the
mother condones, her power of helpful
ness Is shattered. There may be ex-
tenuating circumstances. She must I'M
derStand if she is to help.
Situations today are difficult for the
younger as well as the older generation.
There is brutal frankness among some
of the younger generation that delights
in trying to disturb the poise of the
older generation. Sometimes 1t sue
>ceedS.
A mother who Is the confidant of her
child realizes there is a bond between
them and that it is the trend of the
age, not wilful desire to shock her
mother, that makes the child couch
what she has to say in words that
might not have been permissible in her
youth. 1t may also be that what she
tells would not even have been a sub
ject for conversation between mother
and child when she was young.
The mother has but to look back to
realize that she herself was sometimes
vaguely or decidedly distressed over
what was limited at by certain things
that occurred and that it would have
been real consolation and solace If
she could have gone with frankness to
her mother with her perplexities.
With this realization, she can help
her child by listening with readiness,
by keeping her Sympathies wide and by
studying ways in which she can advise
tactfully. Let child feel that she Tor
he) can come with anything to the
mother and know that an older expert
ence and wisdom will be glad to share
and to aid a perturbed mind, and a
mother may be sure she has an open
door to the condolences of her off,
spring.

A Sermon for Today
When We Are at Leisure.

And being let go, they went to their

And being let go, they went to their
own company. iv23.
Where do you go when you can aake
your choice? What do you do when
you can do as you please?
For the larger part of the lives of all
of us there are certain lines laid down
by our circumstances, our trades, our
various duties, on which the train OF
our thoughts and efforts must run. But
the question is, when you are free from
the constraint of your usual cifcum-
stances and duties and have your time
at your own command, where do you
go and what do you do?
The needle follows the drawing. Of
the Pole star. The sunf1ower turns to
the SUM- And just so surely do we turn
to the things that attract us most when
we are at liberty to follow our natural
inclinations.

ass his masters crib" The reins laid
upon the horses neck it will trot
straight home to its stable. Our in
stinctS are not less sure than theirs.
We go ''homes when left to ourselves.
Being let GO, they went to their own
company" And that Is what we all do
when we are let loose; we seek the COM
pany of our own kind. AS the old say
ing goes, Birds Of feather flock
together"
There Is another old saying that "a
man is known by the company he
keeps" That is true when ones COM
pany is the company of his own choice.
The point for us to think about In
all this is that our true nature and
character are revealed by our voluntary
choices and actions and by the sort of
lives we live when we are at leisure.

Royal He-Men of History
Frederick William of Prussia Loved GIANTS Drubbed
Berlin Loafers With His Own Hands.
BY J. r. GLASS.

Frederick William I of Prussia was a
herman all through. Voltaire recounts
that the monarch's greatest delight was
his regiment Of giants. of whom "the
men who stood in the first rank. were
none of them less than z feet high"
According to the French writer,
Frederick William, armed with a huge
sergeant's cane, marched forth every
day to review his giants"
Frederick William had no more of
eminency in him than has a cater
pillar tractor. AS soon as he succeed
ed to the throne of Frederick I, he re-
duced the Prussian court to extreme
simplicity. Finery in dress no longer
was tolerated, and expensive feasts were
taboo. Other monarchs spent huge
sums on fetes for foreign guests and
Ambassadors. Frederick William re-
called them with q mug Of beer and a
pipe of tobacco in his smoking room.
The King delighted to outdrink his
guests. He could do 1t, too.
He diSliked the grace and polish o.
the French-hated them, in fact. When
the French court tried to tempt him
as it did other German princes, he ex-
claimed: 81 will not be a Frenchman
am thoroughly German"
A famous remark of his was: II viii
place pistols and swords in my chill
drens cradles and teach them to keer
the foreigne- out of Germany"
Though a despot, Frederick William
was close to the people. He praised In

dustrious workmen and housewives and
scolded those who were dirty and lazy
He was merciless in justice. He
hanged house thieves before the doors
of houses they had robbed. Nor did he
discriminate in favor of the great.
The Count Won Schlubeuth treated
his wife with great cruelty. When the
King reproved him and threatened
death, the count defied him. 1T is not
the fashion to hang a noble" he said.
Won SchlEbeuth was mistaken. Fred
erick William had him strung up the
following morning.
The King detested idleness. With his
own hard he drubbed loafers in the
streets of Berlin.
1t was his bad luck that his son and
heir, Frederick, admired the French
more than he did his father. He pre-
ferred handsome men to giants, too.
The King, when he discovered that
Frederick secretly had studied French
works of literature and become pupil
of Voltaire, whipped him Numerically.
The Crown Prince attempted to flee
to England, but was caught and brought
back. One account says frederick VIII
liam was only Just restrained from rum
ming him through with his sword.
Ultimately they were reconciled
Frederick became an even greater mon
arch than his father, Frederick the
Great. But he never lost his taste fol

BY DONALD A CRAIG.

July Is, 1S61.-A rapid shifting Of

little before sunset. They have taken
up a position there today and will help
to defend the city in case the Confed-

terry has moved from Washington to
Alexandria for the same purpose.
All day today and yesterday the vari-
Gus regiments that took part in the

three years, or the duration of the war.
Mai. Gen. Mcclellan arrived in
Washington tonight and took command
of the Army of the Potomac. To him

MY Neighbor Says

In cooking a stew. use only as
much water or stock as is re-
too fast cooking. The juice of
both meat and vegetable adds
to the gravy. Keep the pot
covered to retain the steam and
the flavors which are dissipated
by it. Shake the pan constantly
to prevent any burning and stick
ing to the bottom.
To hasten the setting of a Jelly,
place the mold in a basin con-
tanning cold water in which q
little salt has been dissolved.
When making BURBERRY pies
mix enc teaspoonful of ground
nutmeg with two tablespoonfuls
of -four and sprinkle the mix
ture on the berries, then add
sugar.
