At the recent banquet of the New Haven chamber of commerce Governor Cooke de nied the old story that Connecticut once flooded the market with wooden nutmegs. “If we are not mistaken,” says the New Haven Register, “this is the first time any official attempt has been made to relieve the state of this undesirable reputation, and if it is properly followed up, will doubtless assume the proportions of a public service. Wo must confess that un til now we had never regarded the tradi tion other than a fiction. The humor of it has appealed to us, and as we have imag ined our ancestors busily employed throughout the day, fashioning out of the hearts of old oaks counterfeit nutmegs, it has seemed that their hard, severe life must have hud a lot of unsuspected humor in it. ” As Usual. to had been particularly obstreperous that day, and being at all times a particu larly obstreperous little boy it meant more than it did where ordinary individuals are concerned. “Now, Reggy,” said his moth er at bedtime, “I’m going to have visitors tomorrow, and if you’re going to act like this wo might just as well give it up first as last. Won’t you try to do better, dear? Do for once behave yourself and be a dear, sweet, good little boy. Be courteous and respectful and considerate, and"— “I know,” he interrupted sympathetically, “just like lalwaysact. ” —New York Sun. o-a. sworn. limlla /'"Jr s/IF/i si eleaaturoZ s J/■/ TzT, , I'oa‘t TcbaccoSpit anti Smoko Your Life Auay.
