Many in New Haven remember the
inspiration gained last year from a
Bible reading given by Mrs. Soltau,
wife of the head of the Bible institute
in New York city. Her own charming
manner, the we'll known and varied
missionary activities Of her brothers
and sisters, and the new deep meaning
which flashes out of often-read words
as she talks; all these win for Mrs.
Soltau large and deeply interested au-
.diences whenever she speaks.
New Haven members of the McAll
auxiliary are favored in being able to
secure Mrs. soltau at their fall meeting
tomorrow "wednesday afternoon at
8 o'clock in the United church chapel.
After her Bible reading tea will be
served in the chapel parlors, SO that all
present may have an opportunity to
meet Mrs. Soltau,

A Somewhat Fishy Story Comes from
Portland Me.
1t is officially stated that the tramp
steamship Norseman, nearly exceeding
all Others in size, recently took cargo
the largest in the commercial history
of the world across the Atlantic as fol-
lows: Head of cattle, 1,179; sheep, II
Ss9; carloads of hay and grain for for
age, IS; bushels Of grain, 100000; car
loads Of packed freight, 250. A lands
man may be Of the opinion that II
would be difficult to find room for the
sailors.
Al half century ago the towns Of
Guilford, East Haven ana Orange
were famous for red oxen. They were
a picturesque and conspicuous feature
of the annual fairs.
The large owners of this kind Of cat
tie in East Haven were jeremiah b.
Davidson, John s. Bradley and Justin
Bradley.
