Selected Poem
LITTLE BOY

fMusctta l.. Splitter in The Hartford Times) little bOy's feet have travelled
 over many miles today, over hardwood floors have padded Scattering toys along the way. He's the dearest little fellow
 Dimples, with Il charming, coaxng smile; Would make the hardest heart to mellow,
 Would make one stop to play awhile. He likes hiB picture book of animals,
 There's COW, a horse, a kitten and a hog, And, away in the Ntck are cannbaIs Climbing over A E Cs from q dog. Sometimes Aunte comes and gets to chasing Around and round pretending she's bear; But best of all the fun, is playing k-a-boo, behind the wicker rocking chair But little feet get tired and weary
 Running over hardwood floors to play; And little eyes get heavy
 As the hours of evening come their way. So on Daddys shoulder
 He lays his little head To be carried up the stairs. And tucked tightly Into bed.

Governor Wilbur L. Cross was in whim- sical mood when he spoke at the opening of the Eastern States Exposition at Springfield earlier in the week. He re- ferred jocosely to the fact that Springfield had been taken away from Connecticut by saying, "but in some manner Connecticut was gypped out of Springfield by men more astute than honest" after the town had been claimed by the Connecticut Col ony. He also said, What wonderful thing it would be for you, if Springfield were now within the Connecticut borders - the land of steady habits and low taxesw Commenting on the accompany ing gubernatorial delegation he states, "When I first rode into. this arena four of the six governors were republicans. This evening four of the six governors are democrats. More than that, all the six original governors, except myself, have been knocked from their pedestals. It has been sad wreckage. alone have managed to hold on to my feet and to keep my hair on -"

OLD TIMERS NOT FOOLED BY IND. DEMOCRATS
 LITTLE GAME

Waterbury, Conn, Sept. IS, 1895.
 Editor, The Democrat:
 This is an open letter to MT. Roger Connor, and from an old timer. I've known you, Roger, ever since you were baby, and God, why have you turned repub- lican? The Waterbury Evening Democrat has exposed your dou- ble- barreled dealings. Good for them! You are now sort of a political Dr. Jekyl and MT. Hyde. if your Uncle Koger were living now God rest his soul) he'd bat you for political home run up to Coogan's Bluff at the top of West 157th street. Old Roger Connor was man! MT. Connor now I ask you, who is your campaign ghost writer? Both of you had better brush up on Your political facts. Your cam- paign issues against Hayes sound like old Mother Goose gossiping. Literally speaking, you are a good gossiper. Also, MT. Connor, your attack. on the city court expenses was a lulu. Don't you know that 1t was ex- Cong ressman Ed Goss, a 6. o. p.-er, who was responsible for the third prosecutorship in the Waterbury city court? He created his sine cure position for & pal. If my memory serves me correctly, Mayor Hayes personally appeared before l rz.A AaIn lxyty a. ly opposted the appointment of a l third prosecutor. His reasons were economic. The next time, Roger, assail the republicans on this campaign issue instead of the dem- ocrats. You are the democrats best boomerang. I say, keep up your gossip, you are doing splen- did.
 Roger, Roger. you are 50 con- | fusing,
 Brush up your campaign facts,
 Please don't be so abusing,
 AS they reveal Pape pacts.
 In closing, Roger, you and your campaign ghost writer claim that your tory party will poll 1000 votes. This assertion discloses that both of you are living in Q Fools Paradise. Sometimes fig ures lie. and would you believe that one!half of "sXIP' is q Well 1t is. Cut the "xII" horizontally through the center swhich leaves I7. So you can plainly see, that iyour Independent ticket is wroDR from every mathematical and po' litical angle.
 Oh, well,
 JUST AN OLD TIMER.
 P, S.--Socially speaking. good. luck to yon and MT. Czar Willie the First of the Nations Defeat | ism. You artificial politicians give me q great laugh.

Induced Dormancy May Be Practiced More Ex- tensively in Future Growth Checked
 to Prevent Them Wearing Out
NEW YORK SUN

Sir W. Beach Thomas recently called in the London Spectator for information concerning induced dormancy in vegetation. While travelling in northern India one of his correspondent found that the native gardeners half exposed the roots of their. roses to the air in the hot, dry season, thus checking their growth, which otherwise would wear them out. Sir William recalled that in Africa rose bush es are dug up and laid in dark places for considerable periods. Not only does this give the bushes rest, but 1t is asserted that 1t strengthens them against certain
