Three litt'e soldiers. coura-

And as like as three peas in a

The thud of their oncoming

Six stanch little shoulders were

And a triumph was wrung

That she gave it quite up in

But she “right - about - faced,”

When these three sturdy fellows
came hurrying by,
And offered the prob'em to

These same willing helpers are

Let the weather be stormy or

SENTINEL
READERS’
VIEWS :3
The, Sentinel will be pleased to re-
ceive letters for publication, from its
readers. under the above heading. A
as a general proposition, carries more
weight and conviction than a lengthy
one in which the argument is not
concentrated. We do most emphatic-
ally suggest brevity. Long-winded ar-
ticles. we have observed. are the last
to be read. and are many times avoid-
ed altogether.
MR. SMITH WRITEB 'OF SOUTH
NORWALK'S ADVANTAGES.
Editor of The Sentinel:
Without going into figures to the ex-
tent of using fractions, It is the opin-
ion of the writer that our little city of
nine or ten thousand population has
some ,t’orty to fifty manufacturing
plants. -
.. With hardly an exception every one
of them located here without fear or
favor of any cash bonus: they have
all increased and enlarged as the years
have passed and business require-
ments demanded. At the present time.
the capital invested ill these concerns.
furnishing employment for the people.
amounts to $5,000,000 or more. The
two or three most recent llillltllfa(rtllt‘-,l
tug plants that have, started business!
here, came among us without asking:
accommodations of any kind and they;
are already assuming the same (level-l
opulent that is sure. to come to all, on!
account or the general favorable nor-l
nlai conditions that exist here. ()ill‘;
city has conducive environments that“
are permanent fixtures. 5
No one can take away the splendid!
fourutracked railroad nor more from;
our south—eastern boundary, long is;
land Sound. Added to these permanent?
fixtures referred to and worthy of:
mention are our investments ill pllbllc'
institutions, consisting of $275,000 in?
school properties, $300,000 ill church?
properties and some $60,000 in admin-l
istratlve equipments. For the cap-
stone we add our two superb municipal
public institutions having a common .
rial worth of $1,25y0fi000, with a debt of
only about 20 per cent. on their true,
value. lint going back to the text of;
manufacturing, it is not amiss to call
attention to the fact that South Nor—
walk factories furnish employment to
5,000 or more people and that one-third '
of them come from‘outside our city,
It is safe to any that there are man-
ufacturics here. that even at the pres.
out time, would increase their canner‘
ties ‘if the help was obtainable. Some
morning just spend an hour or so, from
6:30 to 8 o'clock. at. the east and west-
bound railroad stations and see the
throng stepping off the brains, coming
here for their daily work. The next
morning about the same hours take
your position on Washington street
bridge and view the vast crowd coming
into ottr city to their employment. The
following morning devote a couple of
hours and watch the West and East
avenue trolley lines deliver car-load
after car-load of men and women conr
ing here for their daily avocations. it
this multitude only lived within our
borders and were part of us what a~
change would be wrought in our city.
This fact of having the resources
whereby we are able to provide for the
comfort and happiness of some 1,600
to 1,800 non-resident people by furnish
ing them employment is a flattering
testimony in favor of South Norwalk's
capacities to do things and must be
very gratifying to every thinking man.
Possibly more temporary harm aris-
es through some of our citizens who
often times in private conversation and
sometimes by public utterances ex-
press themselves, saying. that South
Norwalk hasn‘t got this or that like
some other place, or that our city does
not do so and so, the same as some
other city does things.
The probabilities are that scarcely a
single‘point of excellence or of merit
in any avenue of public advantages or ‘
convenience, obtaining in any. adjoin-
ing city. can be presented, but what
South Norwallt can match it and in
most instances excel to a goodly do
use. , .
The Connecticut Company selects
our city for its extensive distributing
power plant. The Southern Newman?
land Telephone Company chooses our
city for its central headdume‘rs. The
Standard Oil Company locate their
New malaria distributing 'muon,
which is one of their. largest “tuition.
in our midst. These largo nndimport
taut enterprises with millions lot-capl-y
tal and wise men at the head of their
business, appreciate .our advantages

The magnetic attractions of our city
to the professional fraternity seems to
be exhaustloss. Scarcely a twelve
months passes but what we welcome a
new doctor, dentist, lawyer or some
other professional personage. The
pleasing and satisfactory point about
and prosperity come to them in large
measure, and thus furnishes another
substantial reason for our belief that
our city has within itself sufficient and
ample advantages to make it one of
the 'best places on earth to live and do
business in.

A BOY AND HIS WILL? BIRDS.
(Bridgeport Junior Telegram.)
About a year ago,.one of the dop-
eonx birds on a Sunday, and that he
found the fellow in an old lane where
trees and bushes for the birds.
coming to feed upon the bOunty
pinged for them at a time when food
was scarce, no one had any‘sympnthy
for him, and he merited the punish-
ment be received in the court mm. ,-
il wondered then who the bluff
{friend m, and how he came to se-
-lect,|nch I place for feeding. but I
heard no more and the inclden
passed out of mind. ‘ ‘ . .,
ult‘Iummer I heard of a led in
. with ‘_th°'7‘T‘p . W
this particular feature, is that success '
uty wardens reported to me that he;
had arrested a fellorv for shooting
some one had fastened snot to the:
.‘Be‘caule ,a. mancould be so heart-i
Tea is to shoot the few wlnter birds’
that he had nursed them back to;
health, and as I happened to be pass-‘
ing near his home one of the cold
January days. I stopped to see him.
We talked birds for a while, and
he told me that he “was going down‘
in the valley to get a photograph of.
his chicadees," and asked if I would
like to go, too.
The man with the camera came in
the meantime, and we went out
thrOugh the snow covered fields,
passed under the railroad trestle on
the ice covering the imprisoned
stream, which we could hear gut-n.f
ing quietly with the suet attached to
a stick held in his hand, and after a.
little they learned to come when he
[came to the wood, and would alight
upon is hand and became very tame
as he Went there nearly every day,
and that there was more of them
than this winter.
I left him with his pets to catch a.
train home and as I Was thinking it
over, it came to me that this was the
place where the fellow was arrested
for shooting birds, and my friend’s .
chlcadees was probably the victims.
There is a lesson in this for the
ling on its way to the larger stream‘ boys. When a lad goes through the
in the valley.
Boys and girls were skating on the
old ice pond as we passed to the west
side of the stream and in an old lane
the boy hold that he “would here
fluiid his chickadees."
We heard them a little farther
ahead and he whistled an imitation
of their song, and “Chicadee, chica-
deodee," came ttie anamr and the
birds ‘ came trooplng through the
trees, flitting down into the low
bushes. coming nearer all of the time,
mowing at- us as thOugh they
knew what. was coming.
The'boy fastened a‘pleoe of aunt in
the tort; of a branch be held and one
of‘thechickadeos new to it and sam-
pled, .,.the food, while another

joy the wild birds unharmed by man.
011 the other hand. one who learns
to make friends with the bird neigh-
bors ot the 'woods and old lanes, has
found. pleasure that is real, and has
made the winter woods more interest.-
lnz because there is life there; wild,
" free and busy tenants working .hard
for a. living, and all the time working
to make the woods worth more to the-
man who owns them; hence they
souid receive our protection, and
not have to flee from the gun of the
