EVE’S C‘R‘AMBLIN'GS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE'WOMEN. BY ONE
or THEM.
Many among us try to shift our bur-
dens on to others. If we cannot make
them wholly responsible, we do what
we can to get their advice, and so to
make them in some sort answerable for
the result. ’ Or we ask them to do this
or to see to that, and so take from us
the burden of personal trouble, which
is some little help if we are indolent or
weakly.
Few of us honestly shoulder all our
burdens free from help of advice or
personal action—or, failing these, of at
least sympathy, which throws part of
the weight on to the heart of another,
if not on to the hands, and lessens our
own by just so much.
Life, however, would be but a poor
kind of thing were it denuded of this
form of help. “Bear ye one another’s
burden” was a command given 2,000
years ago, and all the kindly and all
the really human of the sons of men
act on it as-they ever must, while un'
selfishness stands as a' duty and callous
selfishness as a vice.
All the same, the best way tobear
our burdens is to shoulder them our-
selves and to ask no help whatsoever.
We need not be quite like those wound-
ed animals who slink into a solitary
den to die apart and untended, but we
may be of the race of the Stoics, who
could suffer without complaint.
“Scooting around,” carrying the
burden for everyone to see and handle
~open-mouthed and voluble, pouring
out our complaints and expecting as
much sympathy as we have of self-
pity—that is a mean way of meeting
the trials and bearing the burdens of
life.
Yet how many do it! Weak-souled
creatures must be helped over all
stiles, and whose lightest burden must
be shared by other hands. Yet, con-
trariwise to these poor, flabby, flaccid
persons are" those more gracious people,
those strong souls who not only bear
their own sorrows in silence, but help
others with their burdens, comforting
and counseling the while their own
hearts are heavy with grief, and their
own backs are sore with the burden
laid thereon.
Such there are, and in no scant num-
bers, and let" them be celebrated for.
their valiant worth. For there is no.
greater mistake than to measure man-
kind by its'i‘worst, and, because some
are smirched, to say all are tarred with
. the same brush; It is rather the good
and the noble who show the coarseness
ofthe fibre of which the ignoble and
unworthy are composed.
We judge of the lower by the higher,
and lament the discrepancy; not of the
higher by the lower, and confound all
in one. ‘And if we have cowards we
have also heroes and heroines in great-
er number, and to those we doif our
caps‘and say: “All hail l ”
.92 gay“. .11 as.
Held by Coroner’s Orders.
Joseph Dorin, aged 20 years, is under
arrest at Greenwich, awaiting the in-
vestlgation by Coroner Doten of Bridge-'
port into the death of William Dorin,
aged 24 years, which occurred Sunday
afternoon. The men were both ex
pressmen and distantly related. They
became involved in an altercation
Thursday afternoon at the depot, and
when ordered away by the depot agent
went to a field about a mile away accom'
panied by a number of hackmen, and
finished their fight.
William Dorin was so badly used up
that he was obliged to go to bed and
died Sunday.

Main Street This Noon.
An Expected Combination of Horses, Car-
riages and Street Cars.
Main street was the'scene, this noon,
of a lively intermixing of carriage
wheels and horses.
It all. happened just around the
corner from Wall street,
caused by a team of horses belonging
to George Schaley of Silver Mine.
The, team was in charge of a lad who
swung the same around from Wall
street into Main as an electric car was
approaching.
His team was on the left side of the
street, posSibly to avoid the car. In
order to avert a collision ,with the. car
he guided the horses as best he could,
with the result that he collided .with a
carriage belonging to A. J. Hutchinson,
two wheels'of which were wrepked, and
also a carriage belonging to Clark Ely
one wheel of which was demolished
and thetothers made ofbut little use.
Both Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Ely se-
cured new turnouts.
The team in the charge of the boy
was secured before it had a chance to
run and the two other horses, felt
secure in standing still. V j
