! Mind How You Walk.
! Did you know that your own par-
ticular was indicative of some trait
in your character? If you have a
slow manner of walking it shows you
are not energetic, but if you turn out
your toes it indicates a thoughtful
mind. -
in the case of determined, energet-
ic people, their walk is marked by
rapid, long steps, which are the same
under all circumstances; while the
tops and the careless portion change
the style of their walk to suit the
. prevailing weather. One hour they
will walk one way, and the next hour
their I-manner of walking will be en-
_tirely different, and at all times un-
certain and unreliable. V
On the other hand; those who walk
easily and gracefully are verygapt to
be easy and graceful in everything
they do. A heel walker is generally
a solid kind of a. character, While
lthose who do the most part of their
walking on the forward part of their
feet! are fond of sport, and incline
.strocgly towards sentimental things
in life.

TO BE llVljllOVED.
The Sum of $5,000 Voted for‘
Repairs on the mlion Road .
So Called.
The Selectmen Authorized to Buy Farm
Land.
A special town meeting was held. in
the Town House, so called, last night.
Francis Leonard acted as Moderator,
. The first matter to receive attention
was the appropriation of either three
or five thousand dollars for improve-
ments on the Wilton road, under the
provisions of Chapter CCXXIX of the
Public Acts of the State,pa.ssed in 1897.
A resolution to the effect that the
sum of $5,000 be appropriated was read
and seconded.
A. E. Austin was in favor of such ap-
propriation provided the work was done
equally as well as that on Newtown
avenue. 1
Selectman Merrill ' explained that
there would be some $1,500 of the cost
paid by the state, and that it was pro-
posed to make the work fully as good
as that on Newtown avenue.
George B. Gregory was heard with
an “Ain’t theroads good enough now?”
William Warden thought the appro-
priation a reasonable oneand suggested
that the amount expended be given for
work done by local men. .
The resclution was then almost
unanimously passed.
The next business was embodied in
a resolution presented and read that
the selectmen be empowered to pur-_
chase for the town a tract of land to be
added to the town farm property and
that a sum not to exceed $2,000 be ap-
propriated therefor. .
A. E. Austin moved to amend by
making the sum $5,000. '
Selectman Merrill explained the
needs of the town in that direction,
and he was followed by Town farm
superintendent Hoyt on the same line
of argument. _
A. E. Austin said that he did not
think farm land in that vicinity worth
$100 an acre. and thought. that the se-V
lectmen ought to specify the number,-
of acres they proposed purchasing.
Selectman Merrill said that the prop— .
ertv in question was assessed: at $100 or
more per acre.
George 1%. Gregory said “The town
is better, off without it than with it.”
A vote on the resolution as amended
was then called for and it waspassed.
A question as to the legality of the
vote unless there; were fifty affirmative
votes was raised, and another Vote was
taken, the chair appointing V. A. Sco-
fiIeld and A. E.~-Austin as tellers. ‘
The tellers reported 51 affirm ative
votes and the resolution was declared
adopted.
There were perhaps
voters present, 'lwhich small number
was perhaps owing to the decidedly
seventy-five
stormy weather.
A A-_
For the Easter Bridle.
Now as the season of weddings ap-
f
preach there is always a demand for ;
neat and dainty bridal gowns suitable '
for the home wedding. A pretty mod-
' e1 is made of cream white satin, al-
though silk could be substituted if
preferred. , Over the back of the skirt
falls a 'circular train of medium length.
while down" the left side the skirt is
and also orange blossoms. If there
is any lace which is an heirloom in E
the family this would be an excellent
way to use it, as it would not be neces-
sary to cut into it.
The bodice'is made with a tight~fit-
ting back. The front is covered with,
pleated chiffon, which is draped and
fastened with a bow on the left side
below a small vest also of chiffon.
Sleeves quite tight fitting puffed on the
shoulder.
' His New Delusion.
Mrs Fadde, Faith Curist—How is

Bridget—He still has the rheumatic;

“You mean he thinks he has the

as rheumatism.” '
“Yes, mum.”
A few days later:
“And does your grandfather Still
persist in his delusion that he has the
rheumatism?"
"No, mum; the poor man thinks now
that he is dead. We buried um ,vister-
day."——Indianapolis Journal.

SCHOOL CHILDREN ON HORSES.
Some of the Texas Boys and Girls Ride
Eight Miles to School and Enjoy It.
At Manor, Tex., in that sparsely set-
tled country along the line of the
Houston and Texas Central Railway,
I came to a large wood colored build-
ing surrounded by a caravan of horses,
says a writer. I counted upward of
fifty, all saddled and hitched to a tree.
Everything about the house was as
still as death. “It must be a. funeral,”
I said. Suddenly the scene changed.
The doors of the building burst open
and out broke fifty school children.
“School’s out!" they shouted, and a
caravan of children scrambled for the
horses. In a moment the youngsters
had=mounted and were riding helter-
skelter over the prairie. The Texas
mustangs seemed to scent the frolic
and kicked up their 'heels as they gal-
loped home wit-h the school children.
With their dinner pails jingling on
pommels of the saddles, and their
dresses and jackets waving in the
‘wind, they looked like a mad caravan
of Bedouins.
“How far did you come?" I asked a
little totwho sat behind his sister on
a. speckled mustang.
“1 team dood way—I tum—”
“Why, he’s come six miles,” inter-
rupted his sister. “Jimmy is only 5
years old. He doesn’t know how far
he does come.” \
“But I live eight miles,” said a lit-
tle Lord Fauntleroy on a dancing bron-
co, “but I can ride it in an hour and
have done it in thirty minutes.” Then
he spurred his horse till he leaped
away over the prairie.
It is very common to see school chil-
dren wearing spurs in Texas. Texas
has the richest school fund of “any
State in the Union, but she lacks the
children. Some counties have as much
as $50,000 laid up for school purposes.
They are just waiting for the children
to grow—Atlanta National.
”Joel Chandler Harris’ Recipe. ‘
In conversation with Joel Chandler
Harris a friend said: “You‘ are-one
of the fortunate authors; everything
you touch turns to gold. Life must
be a very smooth affair to you.”
“On the contrary,” was the reply,
“life is hard work to me. I get a good
deal of enjoyment out of it,‘ but it’s
more serious than: you‘ think."
“But then, your genius”—
“Genius? Bosh!" he exclaimed.
"It’s hard work, I tell you! While
some of you fellows are sitting before
the fire, dreaming dreams and building
castles that crumble, I’m at a desk—
at work! I haven’t time to stare the
fire out of countenance. I’d rather
build log cabins on earth than look
around among the stars. And that’s
what I do. I nail myself to a chair
and bend to the work, and whemyou
see it flowing pretty fast you say,
‘That’s genius!’ Go to work, my
brother—got to work! Stick to your
desk, and you'll win.”—Chicago Times-
Herald.
