The Third Ticket.
Those sound money Democrats who
are shouting for a third ticket are in-
uring the prospects of sound money
which is represented by McKinley and
Of course it
is hard fora tarifi' reformer to support
a high tariff candidate like McKinley,
but those who are situated so as to
know, state that while the tariff may
be readjusted there is no prospect of
the McKinley bill being reenacted in
into. The tariff issue although dearly
beloved by some, is completely over-
shadowed by the sound money issue.
We can see no advantage in putting up
a third ticket as such action will only
tend to infuriate the “crazy-quilt”
party thereby stimulating greater
activity. We web we could fully credit
the virtuous protestations of the third
ticket men, but truth compels us to
believe that these bolters who for years
have dictated the policy of the Demo-
oratic party having been fully and fairly
outvoted, are greatly grieved because
the other fellow is riding the political
bicycle, and so they propose to get
another one if possible. The third
ticket is a fake and the contrivance of
a, lot of sore head machinists who have
been turned down. Incidentally it
may be remarked that the third ticket
men are devoted Clevelandolaters and
they propose to swing the incense pots p
in his behalf and these tokens of obeis-
ance will not tend to smooth the brow
of the Populistic-silver party.
O
Buried the Hatchet.
White winged peace broods over the
charming village of Newtown, and Con-
stable “Bill” Glover and Attorney
"Will” Beecher have lowered in saluta-
tion to one another their lances, which
last week were pointed in war and ha-
red. The mediat )r of peace hasp e».
v-ailed in the councils of war, and the
trial that was to be the sensation of the
county did not come off yesterday as
adVertised. The clarge against Attor-
ney Beecher for “swatting” Bill Glover
on the forehead and knocking that
doughty constable into Mr. Blackman’s
potato bin, has been withdrawn. The
parties immediately interested in the
affair are satisfied, but it has been a
disappointment to everybody else in
the county, particularly‘to the newspa-
per men.

Council Meeting.
An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held last evening, the May-
or and Councilmen Boyer, Smith, Hill
and Kent being present.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
On motion of Councilman Kent the
chairman of the finance committee was
instructed to pay city notes so far as
the balance in his hands would warrant.
Councilman Kent asked if anything
had been done in the matter ‘ of redUo
cing the speed of trains at the Water
street crossing. He was answered in the
negative. .
The chairman of the highway com-
mittee was instructed to see what could
be done in the matter of widening the
sidewalk on Main street near the Lamb
property and report at the next meet-
ing of the board.
The council then adjourned.

Norivalkers in Europe.
Two cablegrams have been received
from Frank I. Jones, by his father,
since the former’s arrival abroad.
Erom the information received the
confident hope is indulged that Mr
Jones’ health has been benefitted by
his long sea voyage purposely taken
with that end in view.
Letters were also received Saturday
evening by Norwalk friends from Mr,
and Mrs. George Ward Selleck, who
were in good health and enjoying their
first visit to wonderfully great and
marvelous London. '
The com:
A NORWEGIAN FARMHOUSE.
An Abode That is Primitive In It.
Simplicity.
The furniture consists of aba-re‘table,
'\ sort of wooden sleeping box, 5 feet, 4
inches long, filled with straw; an un-
varnished wooden chair and a low bench
fixed to the wall round two sides of the
room. On it are the gayly painted
boxes of the family, each member ap-
parently having his or her private chest
bearing the hame, place of abode and
date of birth of owner, along with some
more or less barbaric design.
On a row of pegs placed not far from
the ceiling and extending nearly round
the apartment hang the Sunday clothes
of the family, a suit to each peg, the
trousers legs dangling down, and, late
on in the dusk, looking as if some un-
fortunate people had hung themselves
in a row.
There is no carpet. no wall paper. Io
lath no plaster. _ All is {good honest
wood; above, below and all around; no
varnish, no polish, no stain, no paint—
not even on the furniture. No two-
‘penny-halfpenny inch weather board-
ing Or half inch match boards as we use
in England, but great solid planks and
boards which will stand the wear and
tear of centuries. ,
On the windows and doors alone is a
little paint—a kind of white enamel. In
a corner of the room stands a very old
kettledrum, and how and why such an
instrument of warfare has a place in
this peaceful dwelling is for the time
beyond my comprehension. There are
two big windows, in one. of which a
pane of glass is wanting, and Sivert
tells me that the family are greatly con—
cerned thereat; on my account be it
understood, for much ventilation is
deemed an evil thing out here. An
oval rusty teatray is leaning against the
wall. It fits the window, so far as tops
and sides are concerned, leaving ample
room for fresh air at the corners, so the
matter is soon settled. — Chambers’
Journal. ____________
SELECTING A PROFESSION.
The Scheme Adopted by a Scotchman
to Test His Son.
A Scotchman who wanted to learn
what profession he would have, his son
enter put him into a room with a theo-
logical work, an apple and a sixpenny
piece. If he found him, when he re-
turned, reading the book, he intended
to make a clergyman of him; if eating
the apple, a farmer, and if interested in .
the money, a banker.
When he did return he found the boy
sitting on the book, with the Sixpence in
his pocket and the apple almost de-
voured. ' ..
“That settles it," said the keen
Scotchman, “the lad’s a born lawyer, I
can easily see.” ,
The Pleasures of Romance.
Life would be nothing without its
illusions. Destroy the halo of senti-
ment and happiness ceases to exist.
Were there more of romance in the
make-up of the average man, the world
would be better and nobler, for when
defined, romance is that exquisite poet-
ry that imparts to everyday happenings
something above the ordinary, some
thing that is beautiful in the truest
sense of that word. Mawkish senti-
mentality, however, arouses only con»
tempt and makes its possessor appear
feeble of mind and dwarfed in the best
of worldly knowledge. Therefore many
persons, testing to be regarded as weak
and silly, endeavor to repress their real
feelings and build up about themselves
a wall of reserve, endeavoring to stifle
all emotion, lest the world should think
them weakly sentimental. They are
ashamed to show that they do feel, and
little by little close their hearts to the
atmosphere of romance hovering over
even the most prosaic duties of life and
become callous and indifferent. It need
not be an ideal world, this one where
romance and sympathy grow to the
fullest fruition. Look at life in its long
perspective, watching the variety of its
light and shade, but keep up the enthu-
siasm of youth, do not let the poetry
die out of your soul, and wherever
rugged reality can be turned into ten-
der romance, do so, for life in this way
is made better andhigher, and far more
worth the living.
The Wizard’s Speech.
Mr. Edison has only once tried to
make a speech. It was before a girl’s
seminary, where he agreed to lecture
on electricity. He had engaged a friend
named Adams to operate the apparatus
while he talked; but when the Wizard
arose before his audience, he felt so
dazed that he simply said:
“Ladies, Mr. Adams will new address
you on electricity, and I will demon-
strate what he has to say with the ap-
paratus.”—San Francisco Argonaut.
Where the Sting Came In.
“Come,
friend, “cheer up. There are others.”
“I don’t mind her breaking-the en~
gagement so very much,” said the de-
spondent young man. “But to think
that I have got to go on paying the
instalments on the ring for a year to
come yet. That is what jars me.”—In-
dianapolis Journal.
, -Wanted to See it Work.
“Let me take the blamed thing
nome," said the patient, as the dentist
relieved him of his aching molar; “I
want to take it home and poke sugar in
it to see it achel”—Truth.
. \V’oi‘ds Fitly Spoken.
"Did you hear about that hair-raising
story Home was circulating?” asked the '
barber in Grabenstatter’s.
“Don’t tell it to me,” hastily replied
the customer.
headed victims.”—Buffalo Times.
A prince who loves and fears religion
is a lion who stoops to the hand that
strokes or to the voice that appeases
him. He who fears and hates religion
is like the savage beast that growls and
bites the chain which prevents his flying
on the passenger. He who has no reli—
gion at all is like that terrible animal
who perceives his liberty only when he
tears to pieces and when he devours.
