The Verdict.

Records Of the ancient city of Cor
geana, founded in 1910, better known
at the present time as York Harbor,
Me-, contain many quaint and unusual
stories of the early life Of the town.
AT the entrance to York harbOr a
bold promOntOry known as Stage neck
extends some distance into the sea,
from which formerly in stormy wealth
er a temporary light in the form Of d
lantern hoisted upon an upright pole
was displayed as a warning to mari
ners.
One dark winter night a sloop was
wrecked Oh these rocks. A survivor on
being questioned about the catastrophe
said:
THE vessel struck, turned over on
her side, and the skipper and another
barrel of whisky rolled overheard"
The local coroner was summoned
and this somewhat startling verdict
was returned:
I'VE find that the deceased fell from
the masthead and was killed. He
rolled overheard and was drowned. He
foated ashore and froze to death, and
the rats eat him up alive!'-Harper's
Weekly

Do Not Overeat and You WIN Feel
Better ON Monday.
If it is desired to begin the week re-
freshed and ready for labor, rested in
mind and body, the eating customs OF
Sunday will have to be readjusted
Have later breakfast, If desired, but
have then very light one even if you
are hungry, or, If it must be hearty
then do not upset your digestive hab.
its any more than may be avoided and
have but two meals on that day and
eat no other. 1t would be far better to
have three light meals, lighter than
usual, If that could be arranged to fit
with the other household arrangements.
The custom of noon dinner on that day
arises from the usual absence of cook
or maid at the later one, and this may
be unavoidable. Very well, then; treat
this as a rest day for cook and diges-
tive apparatus as we'll as from other
.labors. Have light breakfast, light
dinner and a chatting dish supper as
near the ordinary hours of meals as
possible and remember as you are 60
ing to take less exercise than usual
you demand a lesser amount of more
easily digested food.-Helen johnson

A Popular Target,

During the famous Fenian raids in
the seventies of the last century Colo
mel Albert Clarke of Boston went to
the Fenian camp near the Canadian
border. The camp Of the Canadian
troops was but a short distance away.
One day Clarke, wearing light col
0red stovepipe hat, was strolling along
through the fields d mile or so from
camp. Suddenly the report Of a rifle
rang out, and his hat fell to the ground
Clarke picked it up and damned 1t
down more tightly over his head. An
other report sounded in the opposite d.
rection, and Clarke then realized that
his hat was the cause of the firing. He
started to run and the bullets began to
fly thicker and faster. When, after a
hard run, he reached piece of woods
that afforded shelter he looked at his
new tile, and to his dismay it was a
total wreck. There were all Of twenty
bullet holes in it, but not one struck its
owner.

ing forces had been amusing them

The republican caucus for the Sc
lection of a successor to the late Sen
ator Platt is to be held tomorrow al
O'Clock. The following candidates
are in the field: Ex-Gov. George P.
Mclean of Simsbury, Congressman E.
J. Hill of Norwalk, Congressman F.
B. Brandegee of New London, Allen
w. Paige of Bridgeport and Donald
7. Warner of Litchfield. Samuel Fes,
sender, who was the opposing candi-
date to Senator NJ. G. Buckley in
the recent senatorial election, has
withdrawn from the present contest.
The indications are that Mclean will
have the largest number of votes on
the first ballot. He is the strongest
candidate, and in many ways the most
desirable man for the place. An eff
ort is being made to stir up opposi-
tion to Mclean owing to the fact that
both he and Senator Buckley are
from Hartford county. Locality
should not be considered in the cleo
ton of senator, as he represents the
whole state. The best man should
be chosen.

the hands Of a power nominally at

aimed at Portugal. About hundred
years later two Hanse towns in Neck

When Miss Jenkins, after spending
fifty-six years in the city Of her birth,
decided to buy small farm in the
country she determined to miss none of
the delights of farming life.
I'm going to have steady horse and
two cows and some hens" she an
nounced to her brother, to whom she
proudly displayed her new property,
1.-THE Adams boy from the next house
will help me about everything. He'll
drive the cows and milk and teach me
how to harness, and Of course / shall
feed the hens and the little pig"
'"The little pig!' echoed her brother.
do you propose to keep a pig? And
where, 1 should like to knowY'
"There's room for small pigpen
back Of the barn, away from the road
and everything" said Miss Jenkins
calmly. Mr.. Adams has some cum
ming little pigs, and that is what wish.
And l asked the Adams boy if he
thought when the pig had outgrown the
pen 1 could find some one to take him
and give me another little one in ex-
change, and he seemed sure could.
You've no idea, brother, how obliging
the people are here in the country"

1t is doubtful, said a biographer, if

servant of the late Lord Dufferin when
he was viceroy of India

his shikaree, or sporting servant who
had attended young English lord on
a shooting excursion.

This story calls to mind one told by
the writer of some "reminiscences of

celebrated physician, Sir Henry Hol-

failed to kill either one of brace of
pheasants that had risen within easy
range near Smiths house.
''Why did you not prescribe for
them?" came the quick reply.

to the Lancet's analysis of the potato
and the chestnut, the latter contains
less water, more proteid, more fat and

the potato and is more digestible than
the latter. Like the potato, also, it's
nutritive and digestive qualities are
greatest when baked or roasted.

PUBLIC OUTRAGED.
Says Attorney Jerome by Develop
ments in Insurance Investigation.

New York, Oct. 5.-District Attor-
ney William T. jerome announced in
a statement to Justice Davy in the
criminal branch of the supreme court
today that he intended to present to
the extraordinary grand jury the rev.
Citations affecting the conduct of life
insurance business which have been
made before the legislative investi-
eating commission. Mr.. Jerome said
the inquiry by this committee has
shown greater moral obliquity and
moral obtuseness on the part of per-
sons important in the business world
than did the Shocking revelations in
regard to the Equitable Life.
He said there was public excitement
and a sense of outrage at what had
been done, and that it would undoubt-
edly meet with general commendatlo1
if he were to select certain individual
transactions and place them before
the grand jury at once. However, he
regarded it as his duty to wait until
the investigating committee had COM
pleted it's work and then to ask for
an extraordinary grand jury and lay
before it the matters disclosed by his
own study of the situation as well as
that of others. This he said he IN
tende to do.
