NAUGATUCK NUGGETS
The Local Team Vanquished the sey
 mours Saturday Afternoon.

Naugatuck once more showed her SUI periority over Seymour Saturday after noon in Seymour. The local fire de- partment team, accompanied by many rooters, went down to seymour ana came away with victory singing her war song in their ears. Seymour was not in it for a minute. They didn't even get a show Danny sweeney, who did the twirling for the locals. never was in peter form, and ms curves were an unsurmountable barrier to the would-be whirlWind batteries or Seymour and they were obliged to sui fer another defeat that brought viyidly to their poor distracted minds the aw- fu1 result of the Scorcher ys Naugatuck football game. The score Saturday af- ternoon was 3 to in favor of Nauga- tuck The local base ball enthusiasts who accompanied the boys to Seymour made things hum in that town with their wells and cheers. They rooted for the home team in fine shape. One feature of Saturdays game was the fine playing of every man on the local team. The boys were in fine shape. The team arrived home on the S:45 train Saturday evening. They were met at the depot by the St Francis T.. A. B. drum corps and short celebra. tion was held.

WISE YOUNG MEDICS.
Had to Swallow Pill That Was
 Hard to Digest.
For n Time They Had Everything Their Own Way, But in Wind- up the Old Guy Came Out
 Victorious.

In Chicago he was known as an em- inent specialist on diseases of the brain and nerves. When his name ap- peared in print it was followed by an array of dignifed-looking abbreyia tions which gave it a very imposing appearance. It lent importance to the faculty of a leading medical college. and to the staffs of several big hospi-s tals.
 Ten months of steady work, the doc tor considered, entitled him to a rest, and his method of resting was to throw off his work entirely. Sc. that when he presented himself as passenger on a. lake steamer for an extended cruise he had dropped his title and was just plain "John Blank" Even his cards vouchsafed no further information. It was the cards which misled two young doctors from small neighboring city who took passage on the same steam CT. On the trip the two younger physl- clans discussed the latest medical dis coveries daily with an erudition which secretly amused "John Blank" The conversation drifted one day to the subject of nerves, when, noting the Chicago mans evident interest in the discussion they drew him into the com versation. Their criticisms of the spe- cialists quietly offered opinions were made in terms intended to make their meaning plain to rather presumptu- ous layman, but "John Blank" allowed the younger men to have the last word.
 The young men landed at Mackinac island and the specialist, says the Chi cago Daily News, lost sight of them un- til few days before his return. He had passed most of his. time far up in Georgian bay and returning leisurely stopped off at Mackinac for a day or two. He walked right into trouble as

JUROR HAD RED HAIR.
And Resented Remark of Fresh Law yer by Refusing to. Come to
 an Agreement.

It behooves a lawyer to be careful of what he says while arguing before a jury John c. Kinnear, practition- CT in New York, realizes this fact thor oughly, says the Albany Argus, and all because of remark he made not long. ago in the Yorkville municipal court. He appeared on behalf of another law yer who was suing corporation for $500 for services alleged to have been performed. The evidence adduced made out quite a strong case for the plaintiff, whose counsel made a telling speech He reviewed the facts in clev-- CT fashion, and toward the close of his remarks said that the corporation would have paid but for the fact that a "red-headed lobster of junior partner had objected, and thus precipitated legal proceedings. The court rebuked MT. Kinnear for using such language and the lawyer apologized. But he had done the mischief. All the iurymen but one Uttered, and he had red hair. The judge delivered his charge strong jury retired. Everybody expected yer dict in few minutes, but in couple of. hours words reached the court that there was no prospect of an agree ment. With one exception the jury was agreed on verdict for plaintiff. The exception was the red-headed man, who said: Perhaps the lawyer thinks it's smart to call people red headed Holsters. I don't" The court finally discharged the jury and Lawyer Kinnear is still digesting the lesson

soon as he stepped on to the hotel pl- aga. A Chicago acquaintance, quietly smoking on the piazza, gave him 3 hasty greeting and hurriedly plunged into the hotel. Presently a disheveIed man rushed from an elevator and seized the doctor.

 Swept along by this tide of explana- tion, the doctor finally stood in a darkened room beside limp, uncon- scious child. Waving the mother and several attendants aside, he sat down close to. the bed. Soon he motioned the father to accompany him from the room, but voice from the foot of the bed interposed Speak right out, doctor; we will be glad to have your opinion"
 The specialist hesitated in evident embarrassment. eff the child has had brain fever, doctors,'' he said, 'syou have cured him of that, but" he motioned to the nurse to draw up the shades, and as the light streamed into the room turned again to the bed-ssI find something in the mouth which may contribute to the trouble some what. A slight surgical operation will doubtless assist somewhat."- He reached for lance from one of the medicine eases. at hand and 1anced the chiId's gum, where several teeth were struggling through.
 There was a sigh of returning com sciousness and presently the child opened it's eyes.
 s'He will be all right in an hour or two," explained the doctor to the astonished parents. Then he turned toward his audience.

 I must not meet my second antag onist, and yet saw no earthly means of avoiding him; but suddenly I be- held we'll curb and determined to leap into it. No one would think of so dar- ing feat and would completely baf- fe my pursuers.
 In a moment [ had 1eaped upon it, but as I began letting myself into the curb I lost my hold and fell with a splash 40 feet into water up to my shoulders.
 t'Stay there, you fake corpsel" cried my tormentor. ssWhen you come out of there you will be ready to remain in your coffin.''
 Do let me out" I pleaded ''This is my first attempt, and can assure you it is my last.

 Then he left me, and although I groaned and prayed and implored all through the night, no one came.
 The next morning my tormentor came again, and, after imploring him for a long while, he let the bucket down and told me to grab hold.
 The rope was small and old and I told him that I feared it would break. But he jeeringly told me to 1eti it break he didn't care. When was half way up he said he believed he would turn loose and let me back. I implored him to finish drawing me. and he final ly compiled with my request.

As I noted these symptoms of roguish merriment I suddenly became con scious of my ludicrous plight and blushed for shame.

The Way a r.oe4.ea Is rickea.

The easiest, safest and some of the most lucrative graft I ever engaged ir was when I was a boy robbing women in the street or on crowded cars. I was at that time what is called a moll buzzer, fly that buzzed about women I worked with Zack and one or two other boys. Each of us had his par ticu1ar, job to look after. I was gen orally the pick, dip or tool, the boy that actually made the touch.

Lived Down Bis Reputation.

The king of Italy was unpopular at the time of his coming to the throne because of the stories of his extreme economy, but has lately shown that, though he is ciscumspect< in his ex- penditure, he is liberal and benevolent. He gives largely to charity, both or ganized and individual, and in his so- cial life seems ready to make any outlay that is necessitated by his DO. sition. Among his recent benefac- tions was a gift of 100000 lire to the town of Palermo, to be distributed among the poor and three charitable institutions. Of this sum 50,0o0 lire is to go to. the poor, 3o,0oo lire to the town hospital, 10000 lire to the marine hospital and 1000 lire to the Red /. Cross society.-London Chronicle.

Arm in Arm with a Tigress.

It is related of Sir Edward Brad ford, the chief police commissioner of London, that he once walked arm in arm, so to speak, with a tigress. He was out shooting, and, always fear less sportsman, had come to close quarters with his quarry. He fired, and either the ball failed to take eff feet or but slightly wounded the ani- nal. She sprang at him, and seized his left arm above the elbow. The pain must have been terrible, but Sir Edward kept cool, and, realizing that it would be death to drag his man. gled arm away and allow her to spring afresh at him, he deliberately walked a few agonizing paces until his comrade was able to take aim and kill the brute. Thus his courage saved his life, though the amputation of his arm at the shoulder proved necessary. London Globe.

New Woman in Japan.

Japanese women hitherto have been expected literally to honor and obey their husbands in everything. Now. for the first time in history, a Jap anese wife has challenged this tradi tion. She refused to perform cer- tain manual work for her husband, who promptly divorced her, but, or appeal the wife's cause was upheld, it being decided that she was not bound to obey the unreasonable de mands of her husband" This de- cision is looked upon as revolution ary to Japanese domestic life.-Lon- don Mail.

Merriman Injunction Case to Be Heard
 By Judge Peasley.

A motion has been made to dissolve the injunction in the case of Mrs Mary A. Merriman vs Thomas Maxwell, ana will come up before Deputy Judge Peasley in the district court at Water bury, Thursday, September p. The injunction, which was granted some time ago by Judge Cowell, restraints MT Maxwell from moving certain barn which he himself had built on land owned by Ms Merriman. The barn, he says, has no connection with the ground, as it is built upon posts set ill the ground and therefore he has a perfect right to do with it as he sees fit. Tn the position which barn now stands he cannot use it to the best ad- vantage and therefore wishes to have the court dissolve the Injunction. At torney Gillette will appear for the plaintiff and Attorney McMahon for the defendant.

ARGENTINE CATTLE.
SAay Be Largely Purchased by Great Britain to RestocI< the Pastures
 of South Africa.

It may be said that Great Britain will naturally favor her own colonies in making such purchases of cattle to re- stock the South African, pasture lands, and, other things being equal, this would be natural, says the Buenos Ayres Herald. But Canadian and New Zealand beef brings better price in the British market than Argentine, and this because in those colonies more attention has been given to the breed ing of cattle for prime beef, and in con- sequence both Canada and New Zea- land, and the United States as prob able bidder, are not likely to offer their stock as cheaply as will the Ar genuine estanciero, and this difference in price is likely to secure for this country a generous slice, at least, of the business. Where else in the world can the requisite number of cat tie be found at such prices as can be made here? We believe it safe to state that Argentina stands aldne and in a commanding position in this respect; at least, we have good reason for the hope that is in us that in this direction lies a prompt, large and profitable busi- ness for us. Great Britain will be- come a buyer of hundreds of thousands of cattIefor the South African plains in making purchases of such magni- tude. That Argentine cattle at Argen- tine prices and Argentine proximity to the ports of discharge will be favor ably looked upon seems to be reason able, hence our belief and that of the market in general that the signing of peace means an especial good of great magnitude to this country.
