The rejection of the postponed news-

Two bicyclists received a severe fall

Ask your Grocer to- day to show you
a package of GRAIN-O, the new food
drink that takes the place of coffee.
The children may drink it without in-

it, like it. GRAIN-O has that rich

That little affair. in Samoa is blowing
over so quietly that nothing which at
all resembles a war cloud can be seen
on the horizon. The incident however,
has given this country and Great Bri-'

Germany’s professed friendship for
the United States may be the real thing
but it is only too apparent that her con-
sul in Samoa was not aware of its ex1s-

different opinion of his government’s
attitude—Springfield News.
Ohe of the greatest problems at the

enjoying the franchise. If half the

him how to make the best useof it that

of his rights,matters at the south would
be different—Norwich Bulletin.
There is no original movement of
the people in behalf'of refoiming the
liquor traffic, and .101 this reason there
may be no legislation on the subject at
this session of the general assembly.
The organized effort is confined to the

tionists and the Liquor Dealers asso-

The scorcher does not have any re-
spect for himself or any other person
and he utterly ignores the fact that
the plain, ordinary pedestrians have
rights. There is a law against this
sort of thing and. it ought to be en-
forced. As it is now the scorche1
knows of it, but ignores it. So far he
has had but a long distance intro-
duction to it. Those in authority owe
itto the community that he and his
kind be made acquainted with it in a
practical manner.—New Britian Her-
ald.
We hear people objecting to con-
victions for murder 'in the fir5t degree
circumstantial.
There may be something in this but
still, when a jury is convinced beyond
the“1'easouable doubt”that the accused
is guilty which the law requires, the
ve1 diet is seldom found to be c11oneous.
Seventy -flve per cent, 01' mor c of the

admitted to prove the guilt of the per-

SPANISH LETTERS.
I Many of the lhlsslveuz Are “’fitten by
H'Ired Scribes. Along
the Streets.
In nothing is. the illiterate condition
of Spain Shown asin the numerous writ-n
ing booths which line the streets of
Barcelona. Spain has preserved much
of the picturesque life of past ages,
and- even at the present day in many
of its towns may be seen the “nich-
man, with pike and. lantern, going his
nigihtlyrounds not far from a fine
street brilliantly illuminated by the.
electric light. In the Ramble, the prin-
cipal street. of Barcelona, may be seen
several of these writing booths of the
public scribes. There, for a small 'con-
sideration, the illiterate or anyone else
may have anything indit-ed, from the
poetry of a love epis-tle to the prosaic
application for a situation. :The front
of each booth is placarded' with the
name of the scribe and the services he
is prepared to render to his custimers.
Some scribes combine the art of paint-
ing with that of writing, and all add to
their activities the business of registry
offices for servants.
HIiItIin the Buck. '
In his “Corean SketchesTMr. Gale
tells this story of a- Chinese battle;
“Most of those who after the. battle
came to the dispensary in Multden for
treatment were wounded in the back.
‘ch is it that sons of the gods are
wounded in the afterpartc only?’ asked
the. foreigner. ‘It looks as if they had
r1111 from the barbarians} ‘We ad-
vanced all right.’ said the Chinaman,
‘according to military methods. Then
we put on fierce faces, like Che-11ml-
Yang, the god of war, certain that
the ll o-Jenb 11 ould run, as they would
have done ifthey had' not been hope-
less savages, unacquainted with Chi-
nese characters. We rushed on them,
breathing forth fire, but they moved
not. Then our general shouted ‘Vic—
tory!’ for! we had paralyzed them with
our boldness. But suddenly a long
row of guns was raised like one arm,
and, immortal goriSl such a dastardly
way to fight I never saw! I know not-
wfhv we were wounded in the back.’ ”
