les (luadruplets.
The Little Boy Will Probably Follow Next.
Only two of the famous Stickle: quar-
‘tette of children remain, the second to
die, Wilhelmina, having passed away
at the Bridgeport General Hospital, at
10 o’clock yesterday morning. She was
28 days old and her little sister, Amelia,
was 23 days old, at the time of her
death, last Saturday, the children hav-
ing been born on Thursday, August 27.
The only boy of the four, Orlando,
was very ill last night, and it is ex-
pected that he. will follow the other
two within a short time. The fourth
child, a pretty little maiden, is hearty
and vigorous, and there seems to be
little danger, at least at present, of her
de'tth.
It will be remembered that on the
morning of August 27, Stratford awoke
to find its population had been increas-
ing just four, all in the same family.
The proud parents, Mr. and Mrs. O.

the recipients of many presents, and

in their home only too eager to extend
their congratulations, to those who ivere
instrumental in making. old Stratford
once more famous. - ‘

Rather say, ‘Good morning.‘ ”
——Lffe.
Enjoy present treasures in such a
way as not to injure future ones.
. Every tomorrow has two handles.
We can take hold of it by the handle
of anxiety or the handle of faith.
Drudgery is as necesary to call out‘
the treasure of the mind as harrowing
and planting those of the earth.
Despise not any man, and do not
Spurn anything, for there is no man
that hath not his hour, nor is there
anything that hath not its place.
Prejudices are like the knots in the
glass of our windows. They alter
the shape of evrything that we choose
to look through at them; they make
straight things crooked and every-
thing indistinct.
Be sure of the foundation of your
life. Know why you live as you do.
Be ready to give a reason for it. Do
not, in such a matter as life, build
on opinion, or custom, or what you
guess is true. Make it. a matter of
certainty and science.
There are many fruits which never
turn sweet until the frost has lain
upon them. There are many nuts
that never fall from the boughs of
the forest trees till the frost has
opened and ripened them. And there
are many elements of life that never
grow sweet and beautiful until sor-
row comes.
John Ruskln’s publisher says that
since 1871 there has neverfbeen a loss
on any of that great author's books.
For a good many years Ruskin re-
ceived over $25,000 annually in roy-
alties.‘ Strange as it may seem, none
of Ruskin’s books have ever been
translated into a foreign language.
By his contributions to the discus-
sion of current questions, Mr. Glad-
stone still serves his fellow-men. As
a fine example of activity which re-
fuses to recognize a time limit, his
work makes the world wonder. No
indictment for the crime of being an
old man is brought against him by
those younger than himself, for he
surpasses many of them in work done
and well done.
After all, it doesn’t so much signify

YOUNGEST COLONEL IN AMERICA.
He is a Member of the Governor of Ken-
tucky’s Staff.
The youngest colonel in America
lives in Louisville, Ky. Little Harry
Mulligan is only thirteenyears old, but
he is a full-fledged colonel, and is at-
tached to the staff of Governor Brad-
ley, of Kentucky. It is the first time
in the history of any state of the nation
when circumstances might be such
that a child. could ofiicially represent
the Governor of a commonwealth and
no man five times his age could deny
his right to do so. If the Governor of
the state of Kentucky and the Lieu-
tenantGovernor and half a dozen other
functionaries became suddenly; ilh at
dire same time the duhyofoiicia-lly
representing the Governor would fall
upon America’s youngest colonel, who
is at present a member of the official
state family.
COLONEL HARRY MULLIGAN.
Colonel Bradley one day a year be-
fore he was elected Governor passed
through the corridors of. the hotel,
where young Harry was standing talk-
ing with a companion. Harry saw him
and in return to his greeting,_ “How do
you do, Colonel?” received from the
future governor the remark, “How do
you do, Harry? Glad to see you.”
“Who is that gentleman?” asked
some guest of the house of Harry.
QUick as a flash came the reply, “That
is Colonel Bradley, the next Governor
of Kentucky.”
The Colonel overheard the remark,
and, turning to lthe boy, asked him to
- repeat it, which he did.
“All right,‘my hey, if that prophecy
comes true,” said he, “I will make you
a colonel on my staff.”
Everybody apparently forgot the re-
mark until after Governor Bradley’s
surprising victory over all opposition
in Kentucky. Nobody seriously con-
sidered thirteen-year-old Harry Mulli-
gan a candidate for a colonelcy until
a few weeks ago to the surprise of
everybody, and to the young recipient
more than any one else, Governor
Bradley issued a commission to Col-
onel Harry Mulligan, of Louisville, Ky.
That is how Kentucky came to have
the youngest colonel in America, and
how Governor Bradley kept his word.
