He was very prompt upon nomina- tion of MT. Patterson to declare that he intended to see to 1t that there was a fair election next November That is what everybody should want and expect but Governor Cox's declaration coming just at the time it did sounds more like an emanation from sorely disappointed man than anything else.

REMEMBERING MRS. SHIFTLESS.
 Old Bill Shiftless dropped into town the other day for the first time in sev- eral weeks. The first thing he did was to go to the barber shop and get a haircut and shave. He then bought a consignment of smoking tobacco and a good briar pipe, His old pipe got so strong it made his wife cough, and Bill said the first of the year that he was going to treat his wife better. At noon he got a good square meal at the res- taurant and then went out to do some shopping. He bought himself some warm underwear, a pair of gloves and a pair of felt boots. He then asked the clerk if he didn't have some cheap felt slippers for women. He wanted to sur- prise Mrs. Shiftless with a birthday present. He wanted the slippers so she could put them on in the morning when she got up to build the fires, as 1t was pretty cold for her to so out in her bare feet and she didn't have time to stop and put on her shoes. He finally selected a pair marked down to forty four cents. They are little expen- sive," said Bill, but the woman has quite a little to look after, and nothing is too good for her, r,''-Osborne (Ks.) Farmer.

SOME AMAZING MARRIAGES.

Don't be too free with your opinions about marriage. We once knew drunken grass widower to marry 16- year-old girl and become a splendid husband. A doctor of our acquaint- ance quarreled and quarreled with his wife and at midnight one night she went to neighbor's and never re- turned because of his abuse of her. He married an old maid 10 years la ter, and the union has been an ideal one. A deaf and dumb boy who had one arm taken off by the cars after wards married grandmother, After fully 10 years he still loves her dearly and has her married children, who are older than he Is, come to see him. A man whom we have seen in the gutter a dozen times, and who was deserted by his wife and child because he abused ahem and would not support them, was afterward married to an equal sutfragist lecturer. She re- formed him and elected him to the Legislature. often marriage which at first seems ill-advised turned out splendidly. Marriage is certainly a lottery and the best way is to let the contracting parties do the guessing ,-- Sabetha (Ks) Herald.

DISAPPOINTED BY DEATH.

John Miller of Ypsilanti, Mich, was a gambler and three years ago, when he left his home, wife and baby, drifted West. He was successful and fortune was exceptionally good to him for a time, He spent money with a lavish hand, and had hosts of friends and followers.
 Finally late hours over the card
 tables, drink and other dissipation be- gan to tell upon his health. Fortune. the ffckle jade, seemed not to smile upon him as she had before. He lost at cards, and no game, at which he had been so lucky before, seemed to favor him. The ravages upon his body caused by his manner of living developed tuberculosis His money seemed slowly to melt away, and his friends deserted him. Discouraged,
 dejeoted and full of remorse, he went
 to a free hospital in Pueblo. He slowly declined until 1t became evil dent that he never would recover.
 While in the hospital he though of his past, of his wife and baby, and with these thoughts of home came a longing to see the faithful little woman he had so grossly mistreated. He determined to go back to the
 Michigan town if possible. He had
 no money, but friend, one whom he had befriended in his own prosperous days, gave him little money, enough to defray his expenses to Ypsilanti. He started on his journey with railroad
 ticket and some money in his pocket, but just before he crossed the Kansas line he died in a little Colorado town. His body was taken charge of by the local undertaken of the place, and later forwarded to his old home.
 In Ypsilanti a little woman, with her 4-year-old baby, is awaiting the arrival of the husband and father. Though they will never see him alve,

Capt. Madden. Recovered from Ty-
 pnoid, Wants Match,
 Captain William F. Madden of South Manchester, yesterday told a reporter of The Hartford Courant'' that he was willing to take on Edward J. O'Connell of New Haven in wrestling match and agreed to throw him twice in an hour He said that he had no hot air to throw regarding the matter but all that was necessary was to have O'Con- nell meet him on Wednesday evening, at 7.90 o'clock at the office of The Courant' where further agreements could be arranged. Captain Madden has just recovered from an attack of typhoid fever but feels that he is equal to the task. He has no $1,000 to bet but is willing to post a forfeit for his appearance and will agree to allow the winner to take the entire gate receipts or the percentage that may be offered by thes club or organization under whose auspices the match may be pulled off. This will give O'Connell chance to show whether he is sincere or not

PLEA PUT FORTH FOR WESTERN
 PRESIDENT

President Roosevelt has said it in his most emphatic and irrevocable manner. He has said that he will not be candidate for reelection when his present term of office expires. This is exactly what might be expected from a man of his sound horse sense and his profound knowledge, prejudices and pre-determinations of the people. He knows that the unwriten law is against a third consecutive term.
 But there is no reason why he may not return to the presidency after 8 rest. Tn so far as one may judge of a distant matter, he will be welcomed back by the people after some other national leader has stood a while at the helm. This is no doubt in the Presidents mind, as it in the minds of his countrymen. Naturally, there fore, it is in his mind to have the right man follow him in office. The people will feel great respect for his prefer ence-particularly if he does not try to force his own views on the party. It is entirely probable that his preference would be a wise one. With only his own return to office in mind he might be willing to see 8, poor stick succeed him, so that his own admirable quali- ties would be all the more emphasized But he will certainly take a broader view than this in whatever choice he may express. It seems likely that he will lean toward giving the next presi- fo q ,,11i i0o1 claims are not altogether to be re- spected in political selections, but neither are they to be altogether ig- nored.

WALKER MADE FIRST MATCH.
But the Druggists Invention Was Not
 Success.

But the Druggists Invention Was Not
 Success,
 Tn the nineteenth century-the cen- tury in which so many wonderful things were done-the fourth step in taken. In 1927 John Walker, a drug gist in a small English town, tipped splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash and sulphid of antimony and rubbed 1t on sandpaper and it burst into flame.
 The druggist had discovered the first friction chemical match, the kind we use today. It is called friction chemical because it Is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rub ping them. Although Walkers match did not require the bottle of acid, it nevertheless was not good one, It could be lighted only by hard rub ping, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions.
 In few years, however, phos- phorous was substituted on the tip far antlmony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very litle rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.
 After the invention of the easily lighted phosphorous match there was no longer use for the dip-splint or the strike-a-light, The old methods of getting blaze were gradually laid aside and forgotten. The first phosphorous matches were sold at 25 cents a block "a block containing IA matches and they were used by but few.
 Now 100 matches can be bought for cent. It is said that in the United States we use about 150,O0O,- O00O00 matches a year. This, on an average, is about five matches a day for every person.-St. Nicholas.

Mature of Yale's Special Athletic Con- mittee's Report Kept Secret.
 A meeting of the Yale university council on athletic affairs was held last night. The council is made up of the deans of the several departments and two or three distinguished members of the faculty A special committee, con- sisting of Prof Charlton M Lewis, of the academic department, and Prof. Louis W. Pirrson of the Sheffield scien- tile school, has been working on recom- mendations for athletic reforms and 1t was to hear their report that the meet ing was held last night.
 It is known that the committee has discussed pretty thoroughly the matter of the abolishion of gate receipts and of profession coachers, as we'll as many other athletic abuses, but the nature of their recommendations could not be learned

FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE CHARLES MONSON COM
 PANY

Inaugurated by Big Sale to SignaIize
 Forty Years of Successful Business
 Firm is OneOf the Best Known in
 the Country.
 The Charles Monson company yester- day slgnalized It's fortieth anniversary by inaugurating sale of dry goods the like of which has never been seen in New Haven before. No firm is better known or more highly respected in the dry goods trading centers than is that which bears the name of the Charles Monson company, of this city And it Is safe to say that no man is more high ly esteemed wherever he Is known than is the well-knoWn head of this popular shopping center. Mr Monson is at present enjoying the salubrious climate of the sunny south, and the manage ment of the big store is in the hands of Charles M. Walker, who has for many years had general charge of the details 1t q siass ia sefaaent af@the concern. MT. Walker has under his supervision a large corps of up-to-date buyers who are mostly young men of great progress sive decided abilities, and who play an important part in the progress of the store.
 The Monson company has for forty years had reputation for honest and straightforward dealing that is second to none, and which has made it's name a household word all over the state. That the public appreciates the firms policy was evidenced yesterday by the large throngs of buyers who packed the store from early morn until the closing hour at night. The days busi- ness was one of the largest in the his- tory of the firm, and 1t is safe to say that the many anxious buyers who could not be waited on yesterday will be on hand early this morning. The goods offered for this sale are not old and shopworn goods, but the very pick of the firms imported and domestic purchases for the coming season. This fact in itself should be a great induce ment for ladies who contemplate a spring outfit to buy now and save con- siderable money.

SAVED B BABY
 LYON'S LIE
Untold 7 Suffering and Constant
 Mlsery-AMul Sight From that Dreadful Complaint, lnfanti|e Ec- zema Commenced at Top of his Head and Covered Entire Body.
MOTHER PRAISES
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our baby had that dreadful con- plaint, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for several months, commencing at the top of his head, and at last covering his whole body. His sufferings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have given him relief. The family doctor seemed to be wholly incapable of coping with the case, and after various experiments of his, which resulted in no benefit to the child, we sent to Mazon, H., to druggist and got full set of the Cuticura Remedies and applied as per directions, and he began to improve immediately, and in about three or four days began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered, with the exception of rough skin, which is gradually disappearing, and eventually will be replaced by healthy one,
 "Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they cer- tainly saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful sight that l ever beheld, prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies.
