by Captain Vesper, 8 short distance from Wards corners, Wards corners was once a part of the family estate. He received his education at the com mon schools in West Haven. After fln- ishing his course in school he started farming on the large farm which he had inherited and continued in this oc- cupation until about 1860, Then he started stage line to Savin Rock, the hrst regular means of transportation ever inaugurated between this city and the shore resort. The stage line will be remembered by many New Haven CTS. It used to start from the corner of State and Chapel streets, near the store now occupied by Brooks & Co.,, but then occupied by Bradley & Pratt, also matters, For number of years this line was continued, Finally MT. Ward, with others, inaugurated the SaVin Rock horse car line.
 He continued in the capacity of su- perintendent until the road was sold about four years ago to the Winches- ter Avenue Railroad company, when he retired on account of i'll health.
 MT. Ward furnished much of the tim Der used in the Sutton fleet of schoon- CTS, one Of which, the W. Wallace Ward, boce his name.

Jolly Asiatic Merchants.

A large number of the merchants en-
gagged in trade gave me one day a sump-
tuous feast in fruit garden a short dis
lance outside Yarkand. Few people
know the way to enjoy life and make
themselves comfortable better than
these merchants. We first of all sat
about under the shade of the trees, while
huge punches Of grapes and delicious
melons and peaches were freshly plucked
and brought to us to eat. Then dinner
was announced, and after water for
washing the hands had been passed
round, we set to eat dish after dish of
''pillaos' and stews, all beautifully
cooked, and we ended up with a pud-
ding made Of whipped egg and sugar
and some other ingredients, which it
would be hard to beat anywhere. All
the time the merchants were chatting
away among themselves and were as
gay and laxative as Frenchmen. You
could scarcely wish for better company
or more genial hosts.
On the way home we had races, each
merchant trying to make out that his
W horse was better than the others.
These men are a curious mixture of
eastern gravity and p~oliteness and boy
ish spirits and fun. They will come to
call on you and talk away with the
greatest solemnity and Difference. You
meet them next day out for a burst of
enjoyment, and every sign of gravity is
thrown away and they are as free and
natural and full Of life as children

The Late William Woodward.

William Woodward of Baltimore,
who recently died i'll that city, was
nearly SO years old and was for many
years Il of the most prominent and
widely known citizens of the Maryland
metropolis. He was an influential Epis-
copalian, and was connected, as teacher
and superintendent, with the Sunday
school of st. Peters Episcopal church,
Baltimore, from 1919 until one year ago,
a period of rs years. In length of serv-
ice this record is thought to be unsur-
passed. He cast his vote for president
for John Quincy Adams in 1924 and
voted at every national election since.
During the wal he was a supporter of
the federal cause and since the war
voted the Republican ticket.

terribly from indigestion.

This ia not an uncommon case. Dys-

They are generally thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest enough. Much of what they eat
turns into poison. If this keeps on there's
no telling what disease they may get next.

] am sure that there are some here
who at some time have been hit by the
Gospel arrow. You felt the wound of
that conviction, and you plunged into
the world deeper; just as the stag, when
the hounds are after it, plunges into
Scroon lake, expecting in that way to
escape. Jesus Christ is on your track to-
day, ~impenitent mani not in wrath, but
in mercy. o ye chased and painting
soulsl here is the stream of Gods mercy
and salvation. where you may cool your
thirst! Stop that chase of sin today. By
the red fountain that leaped from the
heart Of my Lord, I bid you stop. Is
there in all this house anyone who can
refuse the offer that comes from the
heart Of the dying Son of God? Why,
do you know that there are, in the BAN
ished world, souls that, for that offer
you get today, would fling the crown of
the universe at your feet, if they pos
sessed it? But they went out on the
mountains, the storm took them, and
they died.
There is in a forest in Germany O
place they call the ''deer 1eap"-two
crags about IS feet apart, between them
a fearful chasm. This is called the
''deer leap because once a hunter was
on the track Of a deer. 1t came to one
Of these crags. There was no escape for
it from the pursuit of the hunter, and
in utter despair it gathered itself up
and in the death agony attempted to
jump across. Of course it fell, and was
dashed on the rocks far beneath. Here
is a path to heaven. 1t is plain, it is
safe. Jesus marks it out for every man
to walk in. But here is a man who
says: II won't walk in that path. I
will take my w way" He comes on
until he confronts the chasm that di-
vides his soul from heaven. Now his
last hour has come, and he resolves that
he will leap that chasm, from the
heights of earth to the heights of heav-
IN. Stand back now, and give him full
swing, for no soul ever did that sue
