It almost begins to look as if the 1889 political season would get by in Water bury without succession of those fa- miliar old clambakes that once enlivened this particular season. There's only been one to date, that of the Independent Dem- ocrats. August has always ushered in half a dozen by neighborhood political clubs which don't seem to function here as they did once upon time.

Selected Poem
PURLING BROOK

(Jane Brown in the New Haven
 Journal -Courier) The brook would never purl
 Nor sing It's song Unless 1t hit the pebbles
 As 1t went, Tossing, merrily, It's silver glames Up and down the meadow AS though sent To show the hesitating
 Folk, who say That jolts and rocks Add nothing to their dayl" How little do they see, When by the side Upon Q bank Above a calm. sweet pool A mirror clear, Reflecting tone for tone, But only stiffness
 Shadowed by the treesl No song of praise
 Like to the brook at play, With stones and rocks
 All streams a-down it's way. The mirror does reflect A fairy sight; But, purling brook
 You cheer me in the night!

LIGHTHOUSE WEEK
Boston Post


 The observance of lighthouse week has more than ordinary significance in this section. When ashore, the landsman gives little thought to those lonely individuals who pre- side over our lighthouses and make sure that the beacons of tho seq do not fail and that ships come safely to port. Our own Boston lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse in the west. ern hemisphere. Weary travellers coming home enjoy . great thrill when 1t comes into sight. The mar iner watches for it. The lighthouse service Is all important and its ibOtli anniversary Is e fitting occasion for the public to extend its thanks for work well done.

When he spotted a likely looking prospect, he would quietly uncover his wares and offer them at 50 cents apiece. The opportunity to buy a tie at the door of the U. s.
