To do or to be done, is the question

While the falling off of 50 per cent.
in the sale of tandem bicycles, the past
year may be held as evidence of a
growing desire of people to go it alone,
the number of marriages has greatly
increased. ‘
A useful moral from foot~ball scrim
mages is that one must not give up what
he considers good work because lots of
other men are down on him.
Supposing it’s true this country
drinks 1,000,000,000 gallons of beer an-

ment that excessive use of this bever-
age tends to produce large figures.
As a writer of Thanksgiving‘proclam-
ations the governor of Kentucky goes'
up head. Here is the whole thing:
“Thursday, the 24th day of November
next, is hereby set apart as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer. ” This is short
and to the point.
Broken noses and fractured limbs
from the foot ball gridiron can be re-
paired in time, but what remedy is
there for the shattered hopes and
wounded pride of a community afflict-
ed with a team which can’t win?
It cost Philadelphia $2.25 a word for
a. message from Dewey to read at her
jubilee. The country would have paid
considerably more than that for a few
words from Dewey along about the lst
of last May.
Vaseline is used by bicyclers when
putting their wheels into winter quar-

rub each thoroughly, and then cover
the machine so dust and dirt cannot

EVE’S R MBLiNGS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
I know my lady readers will be inter
ested in the following article from the
Ansonia Sentinel. It treatsof the very
commendable purpose of the ladies of
that town in endeavoring to keep the
public thoroughfares clear of rubbish
and other litter. The Editor says:
“The streets of Ansonia, and particu-
larly the paved portions, are shocking-
ly dirty. The street commissioner
tries to keep them clean but it is dis.-
couraging work because of the careless-
ness of the people in making the streets
a dumping ground for rubbish and ref-
use of all sorts. '
Last year the civic committee of the
VVoman’s club of Ansonia, Derby and
Shelton undertook to get clean streets
and to stir up the city and borough
fathers to aid it.
It asked that iron cans be stationed
at intervals along the street, into which
people were requested to deposit such
things as they were tempted to discard
on the streets. '
The burgesses of Shelton fell in with
the idea and adopted the plan.‘ It has
worked nicely there and it Can be made
to do as Well here.
Last year when the Ansonia city
fathers were asked for the cans they
expressed themselves in favor of it but
felt compelled to refuse it because of
the lack of funds.
The city meeting at which appropri-
ations were made had been but slimly
attended, and the appropriations were
pared down to the lowest notch, mak
ing it an exceedingly difficult problem
to make both ends meet at the end of
the fiscal year.
This year the woznen have another
and fathers and brothers is great.
If they will use that influence to sendl
their men folks to the city meeting to
vote for the small appropriation neces-
sary for the cans they can win. Will
they do it? '
This suggestion is thrown out for the
women’s own benefit. If they want the:
cans they can have them by using
their family “pull,” to use a political
word which has a great deal. of mean-
ing.”
Norwalk is sadly in need ofa little
legislation in this direction and per-
haps if our women folk could be per-
suaded to use their influence, the mud-
dy, slimy pavements, both brick and
stOne, would be a thing of the past.
As a matter of fact the streets in our
town are generally in a disgraceful
condition, notably those in the business
portions. It is positively disgusting to
ride a wheel over the brick pavements
just after the street sprinkler has done
its work. Ladies are obliged to pick
their steps, and that pretty gingerly,
too, in order to avoid the revolting
contact with this refuse.
The streets should be kept clean and
of course to do this men must be re-
tained to attend to it every day. The
cans used by the Ansonians'would be a
great help. '
N 0 possible benefit is derived from
the once a week cleaning. The refuse
might just as well be left on forever.

No one can work well when the mind
is ill at ease.
Many a man is delighted that it is
deemed good form to wear tan shoes
all winter.
The baby who keeps his mother up
at nights is always said by her to be so
like his father.
When a man says he will call in the
morning he is hardly expected to
materialize at 2 a. m.
The ability to wound those we love
best is an accomplishment that should
not be cultivated.
A national loss could. hardly have.
hada more depressing effect upon the
town than the result of Saturday’s
game.
Big game is as much an attraction to
foot-ball enthusiasts as to gunners.
Does any one ever feel really clean
who has to perform the ablutions with
the aid of a wash basin and pitcher ?
It would seem from the choice of
wall paper in some hotel rooms that it

Women often wonder whether it is a

husbands and sweethearts when they
find that their disclosures Only bring
about a storm that could be avoided if

There is a wonderful amount of back-
bone for a woman in a silk-lined skirt.
It is generally those things of which
they know least about which people do
the most talking.
The book of “common prayer” seems
misnamed, it being like common sense,
very uncommon.
How easy it is for persons to be sym-
pathetic when there is no call made
upon their purses.
Friendliness that takes almost every-
thing for granted is very apt to tax the
recipient’s patience beyond the limit.
Even though it does seem silly, the
, way the women behave over Hobson, it
is eminently more to their credit than
actor worship.
It seems to be the ambition of some
men to take out a different girl every
night. Let it be observed, however,
that these men are generally very
young.
The veiled lady of fiction must have
had a good—sized income to spend on
her attire, judging by the present
prices of the article that gave her the
title.
When a woman consents to wear warm
underclothing in winter she has either
been scared into it by her physician or
has suddenly acquired good sense.
Though work is said to be a panacea
for all ills, it certainly must mean men-
tal rather than physical ones, for we
have never yet heard of a cure being
effected by any one writing when he or
she were sick.
A Narrow Escape.

the recommendations of the committee .
on estimates is to be held, next VVedfi
nesday evening.
This question of prpviding proper

come up. If the women want to see
cleaner streets they have the remedy
in their own hands.

your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to

often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in curing rheuma-

pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and get up
many times during the night. The mild
