The coming senatorial fight will not
have a Sharkey—Corbett finish.
New York is going to equip its fire
engines 1vith,-rubbert1res. They will
doubtless prove more satisfactory in
the long run.
Judging from the crowds already in
Some of the stores it should be easier
for the proprietors to get along than
the throngs on the floors.
There is a motorman on the Street
Railway line whose early ‘morning
sneeze compares favorably with the fire
sireen at the Electric Light station;
The GAZETTE was the only paper at
this end of the town to print the Presi-
dent’s message in full yesterday. When
the people want all the news they buy
the GAZETTE. '
The eastern papers are kicking over
what they call the hoggishness of Fair-
field county in having candidates for
all the important state offices. The
other fellows should stop kicking and
give us the glad hand for having gen-
tlemen in our little county competent
to fill all of these positions.
“The Senate was full.” reads a glar-
ing headline in the New Haven News.
Is it possible that cold tea is again on
tap at the capitol.

EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN, BY ONE
OF THEM.
People as a rule are prone to be
mirthful when a woman labels herself
as “misunderstood,” but there are
many instances Hwhcn that very fact
mars lives that would otherwise be
peaceful and happy. '
Many a sweet tempered creature,
who has no thought of malice in her
heart for anyone, can have her lightest
words so contorted that they stir up
contention as no actual downright
statement ever could.
Such a woman is generally thought-
less. She says what comes into her
head, with no idea of aught but that
she will be understood as she intends
to be, but sometimes her choice of lan- .
guage is unfortunate 01' her manner
vague or of that character that can be
easily misinterpreted, and when that
is the case you can rest assured there
IS always someone ready to put the
wrong Construction on whatever she
says or does. .
Such character is more to be pitied
than blamed. She is continually in
hot water, and knowirg that she has
not intended to make mischief, it be-
comes doubly hard for her to bear the
cuts and sligh ts,the derogatory remarks
and the adverse opinion that she unwit-
tingly engenders.
For henwe ask indulgence. If there
is such a person in your acquaintance
just try her again; give her achnnce to
regain what she has lost through heed-
lessness, but not, with intent to harm.
When she makes a statement that
may be given two meanings, ask her
flatly which one she intends. When
she commits an action that you do not
understand and which on the surface
seems peculiar, question her motive
and, perhaps, after all. you will find
that she is not so altogether 10 be con-
(lemned.
The writer speaks with feeling, for
she has on many occasionsin her own
life had to bear real sorrow and servere
criticism, owing to a misunderstand~
ing of her motives.
Therefore. let leniency rule- judg-
ment in such cases and there will be
less trouble for the heedless one and
for those whom her thoughtless words
or actions offend.

'Could not express the rapture of
Annie E. Springer, of1125 Howard St. ,
Philadelphia, Pa, when she found that
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con—
sumption bhad completely cured her of
a backing cough that for many years
had made life a bu1den._All other
medicines and doctors cOuld give her
no help but she says of this Royal
Cure—"' it Scion removed the pain in

At card parties the real dispoSition
is bound to show forth. .
The verdict of all the merchants is
that business is picking up.
Hasty judgment has often made
breaches that could nOt be healed.
It is marVelous what pretty things
are to be bought for very little money.
A bright young housekeeper calls
tripe the poor relation of the meat fam-
ily.
If a person owns a dog there is al—
ways a wish for him when chops are
served at a meal.
There is nothing that exemplifies
true character as an apology earnestly
and sincerely made.
If company manners were worn more
frequently for home folks, life would
be much pleasanter. "
. Why is it that the step of the person
one is kicking for is duplicated by the
nomadic book agent?
It will soon be regarded as quite the
proper thing to walk the streets load-
ed down with bundles.
Women with pretty arms rejoice in
the tight sleeves. Their less fortunate
sisters can see no beauty in’them.
Wine, women and song are always
associated, but with the first couple
generally follows tears and quarrels
rather than mirth and music. '
The woman who discovers disagree- ,
able traits in the man she thinks per-
fect is happy if her awakening comes
before instead of after marriage.
A women who can hem a veil and
keep her temper is a marvel. The man
who reads these lines will not under-
stand this statement, but his wife and
sister will. .
