New Haven Police man Glasses Man He
 Accuses of Assault.

New Haven, Feb 12.--A bit of ex> c1tement occurred on trolley car this morning at 2 o'clock, near the Garde hotel, when 8 man rushed from the car to the door, pushed the conductor outside and jumped from the rapidly moving car. The man was followed by another, who also jumped from the car, apparently chasing the former. The second man to jump from the Car fell when alighung and received q scalp wound. The car stopped and lAose in charge began an investigation. 1t was discovered that the man who fell was Policeman Nelson of West Haven, and the first man that jumped from the car was Martin of West Ha, ven, who four months ago struck the officer of the law with a bottle, so Po- liceman Nelson claimed. \ The police man still has a scar on his head as a result Of the assault
 The car was in charge of Motorman Mu1very and Conductor +. E. Smith. Martin ran down the street in the rear of the railroad office and was lost in the distance. He is thought to have hidden In Long W4,lrf freight yard. Policeman Nelson, who was not seri- ollsly injured, went to his home but said before leaving that the man who assaulted him so long ago will not leave this city, So he will take him in charge.
 The policeman was riding on the car and recognized the man. Martin returned the recognition and both men left the car suddenly.

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit Of ----- Is matter attained by un- daunted persistence in matters oe quality and httleness of price, backed by the most liberal and generous cred- it proposition ever offered to the pub lie by the Guarantee Credit Clothing Co.
 Anybody can buy for cash! .'Thafs easy" There's no special honor in the fact that one can walk into store, lay down fin cold cash the full price asked for an article and so become the possessor. Come to think of it it.sl the eoldest sort of a proposition, B mere transaction. To have credit given you is entirely different. Makes you feel as though you were entitled to It. What a great honor 1t is to be able to enter as store. select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What a great dignity there Is to credit, and how far reaching its beneficial effects
 A large per cent of the worlds business owes its existence to this great comodity. To buy for cash, then, is very ordinary. But to buy on credit Is always a distinction that one should be proud of.

A QUEER ANIMAL
The Ermine Is One Thing In Sum-
mer and Another In Winter.

The erTnine Is queer ami al 1t is
one thing In winter and an ier thing
in summer. That is n strl ~ state
ment, but II Is true, for in winter lie
animals fur Is as white as snow and
Is called the ermlne. In summer its
fur turns reddish brown on the upper
part Of the body and a light yellow on
the lower part. The animal is then
known as the stoat.
This change Is quite familiar to nat
uraiists. but not to unscientifc peo-
pie, and the ermine and the stoat are
therefore generally regarded as dis
ttnct animals.
The fur OF the ernine is much val
ued and is In great request. At one
time It was mark of great royalty,
and the state robes of judges and mag
istrates were lined with it as an EN-.
blem OF purity.
The ermine is SO cunning In its ways
that 1t Is almost as difficult to catch as
it is to catch weasel asleep" In
fact, about the only way to capture Il
is to mark its course from its home
and then strew mud in its pathway.
When the dainty. fastdious little ami
NAL reaches the point in its path
where the mud Is strewn 1t will lie
down and subject itself to capture and
death rather than smirch one of Its
snow white hairs.

BUNYAN'S TOMB.
Burial Place In England of the Au
thor of "Pilkrim's Progress"


thor of "Pilkrfm's Progress"
John Bunyan's tomb is in the vast
burial ground Of Bunhill fields, origi-
naly called "Bonehill fields" probably
from the quantity Of bones which, as
Maitland tells us. were transported
thither in 1910. This is now closed as
a cemetery but the forest Of tombs
shaded by young trees is a green oasis
In a black part OF London.
Near the center of the Puritan Ne
cropolls," a white figure, lying upon a
high modern altar tomb, marks the
grave of John Bunyan. He died at
Snow hill from cold taken on mis-
sionary excursion Aug 81, 1888, aged
sixty.
Macaulay In one of his essays says;
1.-THE spot where Bunyan lies is still
regarded by the Nonconformists with
a feeling which seems scarcely In har-
mony with the stern spirit Of theology.
Many Puritans, to whom the respect
paid by Roman Catholics to the tombs
of their saints seems childish and sim
full, are said to have begged with their
dying breath that their collins might
be placed as near as possible to that Of

When the blood is impure, or weak, or
scanty, every nerve and muscle and or
gan of the body feels the harmful effect;
for the blood goes everywhere and the
vitality of every part depends upon it.
The cure of complicated cases like that
Of Mrs. Miller, in which body and mind
both suffer, shows what wonderful re-
suits follow the use Of the greatest of
blood remedies.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are what hun
dreds of women need 10 change q

able them to get nd Of small worries al
together, TO bear heavy burdens easily
and to find daily enjoyment In life.
An9mia, Irregularities, nervous debility
and prostration yield promptly to the
invigorating influence Of these marvel
Gus pills. They not only cure all forms
of female weakness. but they supply q
fresh store Of vitality to the blood and
the nerves and create conditions that
insure lasting good health. They are
sold by all druggists.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG.
VIII Power n Large Factor In Keep.
Ing Away Decreptitude.

VIII Power n Large Factor In Keep
Ing Away Decreptitude.
How old are you? The adage says
that women are as old as they look
and men as old as they feel That's
wrong. A man and woman are as old
as they take themselves to be.
Growing old is largely habit Of the
mind las a man thinketh In his
heart so is he" II he begins shortly
after middle age to imagine himself
growing old he will be old.
To keep oneself from decrepitude Is
somewhat a matter OF will power. The
fates are kind to the man who hangs
on to life with both hands. He who
let's go will go. Death Is slow only TO
tackle the tenacious.
Ponce de Leon searched in the wrong
place for the fountain of youth. 1t
is in oneself. One must keep one
self young inside, so that while the
outer man perisheth the inner man is
renewed day by day"
When the human mind ceases to ex-
ert itself, when there is no longer an
active interest In the affairs of this
life, when the human stops reading
and thinking and doing, the man, like a
blasted tree, begins to die at the top.
You are as old as you think you are.
Keep the harness on. Your job Is not

INEXPENSIVE SORTING TABLE.

to be said In favor Of boxes for market

are comparatively less valuable for

In America Is the 100 quart barrel,
having the following dimensions:
Slaves, twenty eight and one-half inch
es; head. seventeen and one-eighth
inches; circumference in the middle
sixty four inches. A smaller barrel
holding ninety-six quarts, or an ever

advantages and may in time come into
wider use.

They should always be thoroughly
cleaned before they are filled with ap

all old labels should be removed and
care taken to see that the hoops are

SHALLOW HIVES.
A Point Recently Discussed Among
SucceHsfuI Texas bee Keepers.

A Point Recently Discussed Among
SuccessfuI Texas bee Keepers.
At the recent convention of bee keep
ers In Texas, Mr.. Scholl, in recon-
mending the shallow hive, said: THAT
the shallow hive is advantageous In
many ways those OF experience have
found out Others who have tried
them found them not so, perhaps for
the reason that they did not use them
rightly. We know OF cases where this
was So
Most of the bee keepers are using
shallow supers for comb honey. And
many are using them exclusively for
extracted honey too. For tierlng up
and for many other reasons a shall
low super is better. Foundation Of q
lighter weight can be used In them, for
one good reason-such foundation must
be used for fancy comb honey.
"Then when a shallower super 10 put
on the bees are not placed 20 far from
the brood nest, and that esusee them
to begin work in the super earlier.
Then the amount Of room can be
gagged better with the shallow super
according to the honey flow Bees viii
Oil a shallow super at times when they
would not begin in a deep one,
"The maniprlat ot the brood
nest In the early spstAg at swarmins
during the honey dow, and, in fact, at
all times OF the year, are much more
advantageous over the deeper frame
hives and therefore allow of more be
ing accomplished with less labor. Thi,
Is a factor that should be considered
well by every bee keeper"
Mr.. Laing remarked: THE objection
that is most often raised against the
standard LangstrOth hive Is that the
depth of the frames is so great that II
forbids the use of thin foundation, and
also that 1t is difficult to get all tbs
combs well sealed that we wish TO Gu.
and use In our bulk comb product.
with these faults notice that somt
of our bee men have looked to a shall
lower hive with which TO secure al
well sealed. white combs of honey
built on this foundation. Notably, ouI
worthy secretary, Mr.. Scholl, has such
hive In extensive use and reports that
1t Is indeed an ideal hive for the pro
ductlon of bulk comb, as we'll MS fol-
section honey"

1t Is the general practice to sort ap.
plies as soon as they are picked,
Hitherto some growers have found IL
convenient to transfer the fruit to
temporary storage quarters as fast as
1t came from the trees, sorting and
packing a week or possibly month
later. This is not the best way. There
are some machines In the market for
sorting apples, but, though they have
sometimes given satisfaction, they are
not SO generally successful as to secure
wide adoption.
For this purpose a sorting table is
required, which should be high enough

modate three or four barrels Of fruit
