did their work and enjoyed them-
selves as they could. without being
reprimanded by the law. It was
their own ideal of a social system
framed into lair. and its penal en-
actments were to prevent that ideal
from being interfered with. not to
prevent their lrading it. “’here the
law was over-strict. and annoyed a
considerable part 0: the respectable
population. as it doubtless did in
New Haven. it soon passed away
with there own good will. New
Havcn was overthrown as much by
internal discontent as by outside
force. The magistrates could see
the sulky attitude of the population
and did away with much or the
strictncss in the laws. The well be-
havcd in a settlement were not
much molested and tho- ill-behaved

EDUCATION AND YALE COLLEGE
The settlers of New Engltnd
were not peasants, but for the most
part. intelligent middle-elm people.
and often university grnduntes. They
could not let their children grow up
without, some education and it was
not always possible to send them to
England to be educated in I. bit
university. Harvard College was
first founded and New Haven im-
mediately began to start a. similar
instiuttlon. Mr. Davenport was 81"-
en a. certain amount of money *0
start a foundation for a. school of
this kind and to draw up some rules
by Which to govern the institute.
This took place five years-after the
organization of Harvard. The Bay
Colony was against such I proceed-
ing. It claimed that the population
of the colonies of New England put
together was hardly sufficient to
support one college. and that the in-
stitution of a. second college would
sacrifice them both. The New Ha-
ven colonists listened to reason from
a stronger colony and no action was
taken for is decade. At the end of
this period the matter we: will!
brousht Up. but no action was taken
because it. was decided that the New
Haven Colony ‘would take no action
unless Cannecticut would bet: it-
jujst proportion of expenses.
Two years rolled away. and
through the nntlring and perslltmt
exertions of Mr. Davenport the mt-
ter was awn brought hetero the
general Court. The following year

Mr. Tubbs sat in isolated dignity ..
in I. scantly filled section or the .
balcony or Cleveland‘s monstrous-..
public hall. From time to time, 113- '
ing Mrs. Tubbs’ opera glasses which
he despises u effete, he raked the
floor space tar below for a. sight of
her. He could not even distinguish
the standard marking the Oregon
delegates.
Finally he pocketed the glasses .
with what sounded like a snarl but . '
might us easily have been 1 sob.-
"Stranger." he broke out. ' "Al
soon as ever this dratted convention
lets out I’m going over to the store
and buy Ma Tubbs the reddest hut
in Cleveland. It‘s got to be so red
you can pick it out down there."
Delegate Tubbs wore a blue serge
suit. trimmed in white helm, and &
black cloeho hat today.
"My wife‘s a. delegate. She‘s sit-
ting down there now but I can't
hardly see where the delegates are.
let alone her. it's so far off. It's
like we're up on a. mountain slde‘f“.
trying to make out something way . .
down the valley that fits into the
scenery."
Mr. Tubbs was obviously suffering
the effects of an injury. The weather .

tilled over in resentment. Ono_

porter. innocently. . ..
"W‘rong? — H‘ell's blazes. — what .-. ""
