There have been twenty-two marriages of Canaan people since Christmas, 1904. Six of the weddings were in town. Of the forty-four contracting parties, thirty were residents of Canaan. Fifteen of the twenty-two couples located in town, so we were not depopu- lated at all during the year by Cupid's arts, but in fact we gained in population through the visits of Cupid and the stork combined to some of the parties mentioned above. The record is three more weddings than in 1904, and more of the parties were from the town than ia that year, when twenty-five Canaan people were married. Better make it twenty five weddings before the new year, boys.

Mir. B. E. Moore of Winsted has demonstrated in an article to his home paper that the goat and sheep raising industry is unprofitable in Connecticut. -4Aaadd-why Dogs. MT. Moore says that the state of Connecticut must decide which is the more valuable, the goat and sheep industry or the mongrul dog. We have many times used our columns to advocate the suppression or the an- initiation of the worthless dog and make possible the sheepraising industry, but the farmers themselves evidently rather have the dogs than the sheep, and we fear that MT. Moore will find that the state of Connecticut will not decide at all and that the dog will flourish, null tiply and grow mad, and the sheep and sheep raisers grow fewer and fewer.

The envelopes are not liked by the post-office authori- ties for the reason that the address of the letter inside them does not always show fairly through the transparency on the envelope, especially if the letter is folded carelessly.

some distance from where Ivan was
listening with Mortified amazement
to the recital by Ida of the attack by
Oraminsky and his companions.
Alexis, after the trembling girl had
become somewhat composed, listened
to her story. 1t differed in no ma
terial particulars to that which he had
already heard from Ivan, and as Olga
concluded, and with tear-stained face
besought his forgiveness, Alexis was
deeply touched by her appeal. II
thought of all-of my fathers anger,
NV mothers hatred-for she will hate
me when she discovers ALL" said
Olga, as she approached the conclu-
sion, but, oh! Alexis! l could noe
help it, for love him SO, l love him
SOL"
Alexis was silent for a moment.
Then taking the hand of Olga with
power within the human heart which is
stronger than duty, stronger than in
terest, stronger sometimes even than
honor, stronger oftentimes than life
itself. 1t is the power of love. 1t
has changed the destinies of us both.
1t has brought us together in this
strange place tonight. 1t was to be.
Your love has been given to Ivan
Barosky as mine has been to his sis
ter Ida. But what of the future?
am man, and can bear the conse.
quences of what my father and the
world will call my folly, with a mans
fortitude and patience. But you are
a woman-what does this step mean
to you? Have you thought of the
future? Dear Olga, trust me freely
as a brother. Command me in any
way to make your life brighter, hap
pier, and believe me, there is nothing
/ will not do to aid you" and Alexis
with some emotion laid his hand pro-
tectingly on her shoulder.

SEASON OF BASE BALL.
SUCCESS OF WESTERN LEAGUE
Des Moines Wins Pennant-Denver In
Second Place-Pueblo cid Good
Business After Taking Colo
RADIO Springs Team.

Denver, Sept. 26-The Denver News
yesterday sums up the baseball season
of the Western league as follows:
The Western league season of 1905
closed yesterday. Des Moines won the
pennant. From the flagpole in the
park there the prize flag will float until
the season of 1906 has been played
Denver finished close second, Omaha
third, Sioux City fourth, Pueblo fifth
and st. Joseph last. Had the season
lasted a week longer the Grizzlies
would probably have captured the PEN
nant.
1t was a successful year throughout
the circuit, save in ST. Joseph. Before
Colorado Springs dropped out of the
league the team was losing money. 1t
was transferred to Pueblo, and the
credit side of the ledger there will
likely show fair earning for the short
time the team played under the new
management. Denver was the banner
city of the entire circuit in attendance
and earnings, as it has always been.
During the season nearly 100000
paid admissions were registered, as
against nearly the same number for
the season of 1904. R. r. Burke, owner
of the local team, figured up his re-
ceipts casually last night and placed
the gross figures at about 100000. He
was unable to say just what the net
would be, but he thought it would top
any Of the other teams by probably
double. From players alone he will re-
ceive $500. Five of them were sold
to the st. Louis Nationals and Amer
leans. However, the money for them
will not be forthcoming until next
June. The players sold were Hartzell,
Hoelskoetter, Perrine, Hickman and
Sharp. Three of them were drafted
and the other two sold outright. 1t is
safe to say that the wad of the Denver
owner of the Grizzlies will be fat-ened
by approximately $4,000 as a result
Of the years business.
Advices show that all the eastern
teams save st. Joseph made money on
the season. Des Moines' had the larg-
est attendance, barring Denver, with
Sioux City few hundred behind and
Omaha next. Sioux City netted over
$4,000 from gate receipts and privi-
leges, paying for the downtown park
built last spring, and $4,000 was real
lied from the sale of players.
Des Moines will probably net $4,000
from gate receipts. The team Is said
to have received $11,S00 from the sale
of players alone. Rourke, at Omaha,
is said to have cleared between $1,000
and $4,000 from attendance and play
ers. Sioux City is said to have had
the highest paid team in the league.
Seven men received from 5000 to $3.50
a month.

Indignant Protest Unfortunately Mis-
taken for Applause.

A. II. Kirkland, the Boston ento-
mologist. who has shown the toad to
be one of the farmers best friends,
said recently:
"The toad has been misunderstood
in the past-as much misunderstood
as a certain friend of mine.
This chap was making a walking
tour, and one night he put up at a
little hotel in Florida. Next morning,
at breakfast, the landlord said to him:
"'D'd you enjoy the cornet playing
in the room next to yours last nigbt?'
Enjoy iti' my friend shouted saw
agely. l should think not. Why,
spent half the night pounding on the
wall to make it STOP
1T must have been a misunder.
standing said the landlord, gently.
The cernet player told me that the
person in the rext room applauded
him SO heartily that he went over
every piece he knew three times.'"

Ivan came forward; his companion

Olga is here. Why. what has hap

added hurriedly, as taking Ida from

alarm at her pallid face.
Your sister has saved my life-nhe

grasped both the hands which Olga
held to him.
