Paints treetops with fire till it's far

American Bathroom.
(Harvey Maitland in Forum.)
It was Sir John Foster who cattle
that the real American emblem is
not the Stars and Stripes. but the
American bathtub. He should-have
said the American bathroom. for this
abode of shining white accessories
gleaming against a porcelain-lined
background. with its metallic glint
of open plumbing. is the sign and
symbol of a‘ physical, social and
spiritual achievement. which can
hardly be exaggerated.
Even Sinclair Lewis could not
complete his caricature of our sup-
posedly mechanized civiligation. with-
out dragging in our standardized
plumbing by the ears. If it is to be
considered». matter worthy of both
foreign and native ridicule. then so
much the better for America; We
can afford to flaunt both our flag and
of Europeans denied the protection
of the one and the convenience of
the other. In any jokes about our
bathtub the laugh is with us.
In Old Days Happy To Walk.
(St. Johnsbury Caledonian.)
A woman visitor remarked re-
cently that the girls with whom
she was familiar in her home city
were reluctant to accept invitations
from boys. unless such a fellow was
able to call for them with an auto-
motile. They looked with some con-
tempt on those who expected them
to reach the center of the city by
street cars. which were not exelu~
sivo enough for these airy misses.

As Revealed By the Files
Years Ago
of The Evening Sentinel.
The following items appeared in
the issue of The Evening Sentinel of
June 18. 1915:
“John Johnson of Hillside place
who is an enthusiastic motorcyclist
and is employed by Samuel llood-
ncr. sustained a painful accident in
Glenbrook yesterday afternoon. He
was riding along the highway
when his machine encountered a
piece of wood. He )vas thrown
heavily to the ground ‘and his lclt
leg broken Just above the ankle."
"In the effort to increase the effi-
ciency ot the police service in the
Third District. chief of Police Will-
iam It. I'enhington and Police Com-
missioner Robert M. Wolfe. have
furnished Officer John Roberts.
with a new bicycle. Officer ltob-
erts now patrols the East Side from
seven o‘clock in the evening until
three in the morning."
“Eighteen friends of Councilman
John Milne gathered at Dorion's
shore resort last evening and sprung
upon him a complete surprise. it
was in the form of a handsome Odd
Fellows charm. a gift of those pre-
sent and a few others who were un-
able to attend."
\ “According to an announcement
made recently by a high official of
ore of the largest cartridge factor-
ies in thc‘L'niled States. it is prac-
tically certain that-sporting ammu-
nition will advance materially in
price before the full hunting season
opens. As yet none of the dealers
in Norwalk have been so advised." q
“As the Fourth of July falls on
Sunday this year it will be observed
on the following Monday and there
bill be a general suspension of busi-
ncss."
“John Wempe driving his motor-
cycle and Miss Knocdler a passen-
ger were thrown heavily to the side-
walk on the south side of Wall
street bridge late Thursday after-
noon. when tho former chose run-
ning into a curb rather than collide
with an automobile."
“Today aboard the steamer
"Dante Allgheln" six Norwslk re-
servists sailed for Italy to Join the
liailan colors in the Great War on
the side of the Allies. Passage and
all arrangements incidental to the
leaving of the local men were in

Anderson
(Waterbury American.)
William H. Anderson. former head
of the Anti~saloon League of New
York. has publisheda pamphlet of
and the plight the league has been
brought into by trying to get along
without him. He says that the fate
of prohibition. and even of Protest-
anlsm and civilization. is endanger-
ed by the way things are being run.
He pretends not to be attacking his
successor, or to desire a restoration
to office. but the inference is inevit-
able that that. in his opin 'nris all
that will save the world. He s frank.
er in setting forth his pitiable con-
dition. It cost $8,006 to defend him-
self in the suits which ended in his
imprisonment and he thinks that he
should be reimbursed. He plans a
subscription for his relief and says
that he will work again to earn the.
money though already he feels that
it has been earned. He offers to
send a statement of the case. per-
haps this same statement. to anyone
on receipt of 10 cents. One can hard-
ly help being sorry for this miserable
man. But no one earned such a fate
more surely than Anderson. by his
coarse and arrogant brutality. his
boastful conceit. his unfeeling abuse
of others. his hyprocrisy and his dis-
honesty.
Convlce Labor No Novelty.
(Hartford Times.)
The publication recently under
conspicuous headlines of a statement
that a. proposal was made before the
Legislature to authorize the. use of
convict labor on State highways.
served to illustrate how little is gen-
erally known of the multifarious
laws on our statute books. The day
after the publication of this story. a
director of the State prison hurried
over to the Capitol. incensed that
prison officials had not been consult-
ed about the bill. He was surprised
to be informed that the existing State

years. and that the exact words of
the proposal then pending could be

Mr. Underwood's position in sup-

CHAPTER US.
The Morning" News carried a
story' to the effect that it was ru-

‘Menlow interests in his company.
Michael read the story sourly as he

lie was conscious of the staring.
expectant eyes of the office force:
and he wished that Arthur Man-
ning had kept his mouth shut about
the deal. Michael took it for grant-
ed that Manning was responsible
for the rumor. He had an idea that
the president wanted the board of
directors to be properly impressed
before they had their meeting. And
all of the directors. he knew. were
wondering where Arthur Manning
got $220,000 to buy the Menlow
shares. ‘
He was deep in his work.
all his worries submerged.
Lilah rang him.
“Oh. Michael!" she exclaimed.

John Addison Porter and‘ the late
Ambassador Penileld were of the

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. author
of "Uncle Tom‘s Cabin." passed here
the sunny days of her old age. . . .
In the latter days of Mrs. Stowe's
life. when her mind was a little
clouded. she would wander from her
house on Forest street and into the
Clemens’ garden. Perhaps the ven-
erable lady believed herself among
herfoty'n flowers. but at Irb' rate. day
after day she would gather a. bou-
quet for herself. never cutting the
blooms. but frequently pulling-the
plants up by their roots.
’ Finally. Mrs. Clemens complained
to her husband.‘ and Mark Twain.L

of a problem by s. humorous route.
agreed to give Mrs. Stowe a hint
that she would take. He visited a
local hardware store and bought 18
or :0 pairs of scissors. With Mrs.
Clemens he hung the scissors sire-
fully on their most prized garden
plants. Then. hiding themselves be-
hind a hedge. they awaited Mrs.
Stowe's arrival. Down the path
came the aged' lady for her morning
walk. She leaned over a rose bush
and was about to pluck. when she
spied a bright sn‘d shining pair of
scissors. Grasping them eagerly she
passed to another bush. and there
again found another pair of sols-
sors. These she gathered. too. and
then calmly she msdvfrom bushto

What-ho had long dreaded had
happened: he was angry when he
reached Sixth and Main. and found
Lilah. forlorn and milky-eyed. gas-
ing helplessly at ht torn divver.
and answering the questions of a.
traffic officer. This anger did not.
display itself. .however. as he took
her by the arm ‘reassuringlys eA
gaping crowd had gathered.
“Where is the injured person?"
“They've taken her to the hospi-
tal in an automobile". .
Michael addressed himself to the
officer: "May we drive to tho sis.-
tionhouse. officer. and answer your
questicns there? There'll be bond
to arrange for, I suppose."
The policemen looked him over
coolly and assented. Lilah was re-
lieved at the thought of escaping
the curioub eyes of the throng.
So off they drove. the patrolman

Lilab feeling'norrlb like a crim~

feeling ill.
“Now tell me all about it. dear."
Michael asked. when he had made
her comfortable at home.
"'Well. I was driving down the
street toward the city hall, and got
into a long jam of cars. I was able
to swerve out of it and drive along
between the line and the curb. that
is. abreast with cars in the line.
When I got to the corner I couldn't
see the traffic signal. and I didn't
notice that the front of the line had
stopped. so I speedcd up to get
across the street. and hit a woman.

“A shyster lawyer. one of these

“Oh. Michael!" She shivered.

Notable Englishmen the War.
(London Letter.)
The very delicate question of who
were the five most notable British-
ers during the war has now been
tackled by Lord Oxford and As-
quith. who has never lacked cour’
age in expressing his opinions. As
named .by him at the Guildhall they
are: Earl Jelllcoe. who “more than
maintained the untarntshed glories
of the British navy"; Earl Haig.
who commanded “the biggest army“
ever under a British general; Mr.
Lloyd , George. whose "unique
achievement." was “the provision al-
most miraculous in. its range- and
rapidity" of munitions; Lord Bitch.
ener. who "raised to, unimagined
dimensions Britain's voluntary
army." and Sir John Cowsns. who
performed the “hardly less arduous
task" of "equipment and clothing.
feeding and transport." The inclu-
sions in this list have attracted even
more attention than the omissions.

Good Old Days Never Were
(Buffalo Evening Post.)
The Department of Agriculture
recently published figures showing
something of the difference in the
cost of living today and in the early
part of the 10th century. Then eggs
were three cents a dozen. hum seven
:1 pound and whiskey “:5 cents a gal-
lon. These statistics induced a few
writers to cdltoriaiizo on the good
old days when everything was cheap .
and everybody was happy.
But as a matter of fact the cost
of living was relatively little cheaper
then than now. Many foodstuffs
were low in price. but wages were
too low too and money was scarce
and dear. And not all things were
cheap as compared with now. Trans-
portation. figuring time as money.
was more costly then than at pres-
ent. and there were no five and lett-
cent stores and bargain counters in
other mercantile establishments
where household articles could be
bought for a trifling sum. Education
cost more then than new and books
were scarcer and dearer. And there
were many hardshipswhich more
than made up for three cen eggs
and seven (cent ham.
It is true. that we no longer have
the good old days. The fact-is, we
never did.
Gave Porcupine a Ride.
(Portland Press-Herald.)
The small truck used by the Nor-
way Telephone exchange in their
outlying work. carried an unusual
passenger Monday afternoon, when
a porcupine literally stole a ride
frorrL northwest Norway to the vil~
lage‘. Supt. Charles Wood had been
out in the district. looking lifter busi-
ness. and on his return was stopped
in the road by a large porcupine that
paid no attention to the honking of
the horn. but like'the porcupine in
the Burgess stories. sat right there
independently. -
Fearing some mishap to the tires
if he should hit the intruder. Mr.
Wood tried to be patient. and finally
the animal walked leisurely under
the car and on investigation he was
