You have not a shadow of right to do such athing and under such conditions man would have per feet right to shoot you.'
 The officer explained, T was in uniform"
 That makes it worse" retorted the judge. "In the future you had better be careful"
 Who remembers when Barney Burns, the arm waving traffic cop drove a grocery team? Yes sir, MT Burns did, and his big form really tipped the right side of the seat to an angle, which nearly let him down almost even with the street. Little did Sir Bernard think then that some day in the near. future he would be directing traffic on many of the streets through which he used to drive his slow trotting horse. One thing is certain, he never broke traffic rule; the horse couldn't, We guess.
 Carl Chapin, who used to be a Waterbury newspaperman was all ways a great friend of the fireman.
 He will defend, them upon every occasion. The other day someone wrote to the New York Herald Tribune complaining against the speed of the fire department ma chine in answering bell alarms. Carl at once took up the defense of the department by sending the following letter to the same news paper, to wit:
 To the New York Herald Tribune: Your correspondents who think that fire apparatus travels with
 needless speed really ought to try
 the interesting experience of hang ing from the window of a burning
 building waiting for the firemen to arrive and rescue them.
 CARL M. CHAPIN, Manchester, Vt, June 2, 1881. Carl is personal admirer of Chief Heitman, and a strong booster for the fire fighting qualifications of Captain Steve Bloomfield, and Cap tain Martin J. Campion.
 Three of the best, observed Carl once, and have seen great
 many firemen in my travels. For years, Carl Chapin travelled with
 the Boston fire department when
 connected with the Associated Press,
 and probably knows the inside of
 fire work better than any news
 paperman of New England, in fact
 he has always been a recognized
 authority on important fire ques- l tions.

OnES1611AN 0O1E<rNOG
 The subject of the lesson sermon will be God the Preserver of Man.
 The Golden Text is from Psalms |121:8: The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever more"
 Selections from the Bible include the following passages from Isaiah 40: 2S-31: Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the ever lasting God. the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there Is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he in- creaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that walt upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
 Gorrelatiye readings from the Christian science textbook, "sciencs and Health with Key to the Scrip. tures," by Mary Baker Eddy include the foliowingi "There is to-day dan. ger of repeating the offence Of the Jews by limiting the Holy one of Israel and aakingi Can ood furnish q table in the wlIdsrnessT What cannot God doT tpage i5bi1D'.

''Quacks" Reap Harvest
From Cullible Public

Burning a rabbits heart on the fire
to bring mate for lonely woman;
paying half crown for quack con-
sultation and pennyworth Of herbs;
buying charms to ward off evil; burn
ing incense at fortune-telling tea par
ties, and reading teacups to discover
whether husbands are faithful to their
wives These are among the many
amazing performances carried on In
the West riding of Yorkshire. Leeds
and Bradford, in particular, are in
tested with these places, where people
are induced to undergo treatment"
for all sorts of ailments and for all
sorts of reasons. Incompetent people
calling themselves "herbalists'' or "ad-
visers" make examinations of men
and women and then prescribe some
herb. Charms of various kinds are
sold to neurotic women suffering from
fear complex. At Leeds one woman
paid rs cents for q rats tail that was
supposed to have been possessed of
special powers. Many homes have
been destroyed by the suspicious
aroused in the minds of wives con-
corning their husbands. The police
experience great difficulty in securing
because people who have
been gulled are ashamed to come for
ward to give evidence.-London Tit

10 our Senators and Congressman,

Honorable Sirs:-Possibly you do
not realize that the minds of the
American people are today more po-
litically awake than at any time
since the Civil war.
The farmer the rural home own
er, the small town resident, the in
dependent merchant, the laborer
and the tax payer have just awaken
ed to the fact that they have been
robbed, and they also realize that
it is greatly the fault OF our con-
gress and our senate to have allow
ed your home people to be robbed
by the greed Of "Big Capital" in its
mad rush to conquer the world.
Now boys. watch your step, these
are perilous times, this is a time
that will test your true American
ism. We, the voters of this nation,
have our eyes OF you. You must
either side with humanity assist
in returning the reins of govern
ment back to the people, for the peo-
pie, or take the side of the "Power
BarOns," the Jew bankers of Wall
street, the exporters of our Amer
lean gold, and with the teaches that
are now sucking the life's blood
tion through chain store methods ON
one hand and robbing the consumer
and robbing labor on the other.
Now gentlemen, this is no time to
squabble over small potatoes. This
nation has in the recent past hand
ed back in prize packages to big cap
ital about $160,000,O00 in income
tax refunds, because this nation did
not need the money. But our gov
ernment could not give $15,000,000
for food to our starving farmers.
Why should the Red Cross be
asked to raise and beg this money
from the working classes who can
not afford to give it, while some
10000 millionaires are exporting
our American earned dollars to be

dustries in foreign lands, and to use
our ideas, methods and discoveries
together with the use of our ma
chimes to develop business abroad in
direct competition with American
labor? Big capital was not satisfied
to export manufactured goods, but |
is now exporting our ideas, our |
methods of mass production and the |
gold to finance our own destruc-
ton. Now gentlemen, we voters de-
mand that appropriations be made
quickly, now, Immediately, to buy

Great French Novelist
Lover of Good Coffee

To the many Americans who go dis
consulate in want of their usual coffee
when travelling in France it may be a
surprise to hear that famous French-
man, the novelist Honore de Balzac,
was as fond Of good coffee as they can
be aud extremely fastidious about the
quality Of the grains and their perco-
lating.
He always had three kinds of grains
mixed-Bourbon, Moka, Martinica, and
had to go to three different grocers for
them. He called his own coffee pot
his muse" and drank gallons of the
dark beverage every day.
There he found the stimulus for
those excruciating spells Of inspira-
tion, which sometimes lasted 4S hours
and left him as weak and worn as any
big fight. Another fad of his, which
perhaps helped him to survive such an
unhealthy life, was fruit He reveled
in its beauty and adored it's freshness.
He was known to have eaten four
pounds of cherries at time.
