ls over. Once more they have re- turned to their homes which their energy and worth have built. To an on-looker the scene of their encampment will never be forgotten. Their bent forms and gray heads. fired with the en- thuslaSm of youth as they told and retold incidents that would klndle in the heart of youth love of country and ones fellow man. Here were these old sol diers who, after facing the can mons mouth, returned overpow- cred but not vanquished, to face the hardest problem ever pre-, sented to a patriotic people. They faced it bravely and with invinci- ble courage never before wit messed.
 They began the work of recon structing their homes from the ashes of war, continually men. aced by the black cloud of igno- rant negroes and their vicious leaders who, like the curse of the lOcuStS of old, fed on the fruits of their labor.
 Today, after over forty years, these grand old men, their sons and daughters down to the third generation, have made our coun- try the garden spot of the world neat homes built on the Sloping hillsides, fields green and prom ising and orchards fragrant with ripening fruit, schoolhOuSes in each district with good men for directors, churches in every neighborhood filled each Sunday with happy people.
 All honor to our guests of Fri day. We gave them sincere, affectionate welcome, and hope to have them with us next year,
 Only one guest was unwelcome in our midst. That was the keep CT of the blind tiger. On several occasions were seen the dull eye, the slouchy droop of one who had ventured too near, trusting his strength would enable him to come off none the worse from slight encounter. Whoever is deceived thereby is not wise. It biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder"
 Let it alone and it wont hurt you," was said several times. We really thought that old mistake was dead long ago. The shriek of that poor little woman going out of town told a different tale, as her drunken husband dashed with his whip first his horse and then his wife.
 Which of our citizens has fal- len so low that for piece of sil- yer" he would bring such a re- proach to our town? We know not his name, but his presence here is like a noisome pestilence, a mighty stencil, and the wailing shrieks of his innocent victim clasping her baby to her breast proved only too well the truth of his existence. This terrible tragedy brought tears to the eyes of those who saw and heard it, and should nerve the arm of the law to ferret out it's hiding place. Some of our officials must certainly know who is to blame for such scenes enacted on our public streets. Why do they not stop it?

international Exchange for sehooA
 Children Is Success.

The German central office for the ini 'ternational exchange of correspond ience between school children has just issued a report on the working of the institution. Since the opening of the movement in 1897 to the end of June. 1906. there have taken part in the in. ternational exchange of letters 4sl German schools. of which 160 were girls schools; 330 French. 61 girls; IA American; 6s English, 35 Austrian, six Belgium. three Swiss and one Aus tralian school.
 Some 10000 young persons of all these nations have by these means come into friendly relations with each other and by the interchange ol thought learned something of each others ways of life and thought. And if, adds the committee, the largo nun. Der of these have necessarily limited their epistolary exercises to the moro interchange of compliments and platS tudes and then let the matter drop there has been an encouraging per centage who have persevered and cemented real friendship with thel1 correspondents. thus mutually inter esting and aiding each other and doing great deal to combat internatioao) prejudices. If such an end has beeo achieved by 1000 of the 10000 the re suit may be regarded as highly satis factory.
 A set of rules for the general guidance of the correspondents hae been drawn up by Prof. Dr. R. Hart mann. of Leipsic. president of tho committee. one of which is the strons Encouragement of any approbatory mention of drinking habits.

League Standing.
POLO WHITES.

Great work. ~,> Bone is just as fast. Loxson is great side driver. Tommy Lahey knows the game and
 his work last night made the fans sit up.
 Jimmy Canavan, who was threat ened with typhoid fever, has entirely recovered.
 Bone got taste of his own inedi- cine last night when he asked for
 drinking water. ., . The East Liverpool team, managed
 by Jimmy Canayan, has been trans ferred to Erie, Pa.
 Frank Mullen. the goal tender and
 manager of the Taunton club, is to go to the Youngstown, O., club. Waterbury lost couple of goals last night by the ball jumping out of the cage after it had been put in. The Canton club still retains the head of the league and promises to retain 1t to the end of the season. Say, Mac, look out you don't over do 1t on those little speeches. Water bury audiences are apt to be fickle. George Cunningham. who was to have handled the Providence club in the American league, has gone to Beaver Falls, Pa.
 Bill Miller of the Brockton team the early part of the season, has land ed in Youngstown, O.. and writes that he's getting in some fast work already. #. Tommy Holderness makes some great drives for the cage, but gets them a little too high. They go like the wind when they do get rap of that halfback's stick.
 Old Carson City was filled to over flowing last night. and how they did root from that end of the hall. Polo would not look just right if that place was out of existence.
 Dews worked we'll last night for New Haven. and this chap is bound to make 1t go in the polo world. The New Haven goal tender looked all in before the game was over
 Say. ain't that pretty long two minutes?" shouted Bob Loxson to the timer last night in the last period just as the bell was about to be hit. Guess the boys weren't tired, eh?
 Nick MacGilvray, who played with the Stoneham polo club earlier this season. has joined the sharon club of the Interstate Roller Polo league. and with him went the veteran John B. Wiley.
 Hartford will be here on Saturday night strengthened by her new play CTS from the Massachusetts league. That will be another battle royal for the locals. but we will take them into camp. too.
 In such rough game how free from fouls it was. Had Bill Howard been refexeeing there would have been at least dozen called. Tommy I.ahey knows when a man is hanging to the side rails and not to a player.

POLO
GREAT WAS
 THIS GAME New Haven Downed in One of the Fastest Games Seen Here in
 Many Days.

There was not polo player on the floor last night who was not willing to quit when the bell rang for the end of the last period. It was Il fierce and bitter struggle between two of the fastest teams in the Connecticut league and was won out by Water bury by superior playing and by the excellent goal tending of John Allen, who saved the day many times. Lox- son was there with the drives for the cage. and it was a nip and tuck bat tie between Bone of New Haven and our, first rusher LoXson. Bone was the speediest man on the floor there is no doubt about that, and if he had been served the ball when the Occa- sion demanded it Waterbury might not have got away with the game. The game started off fairly fast but before the first period was over both teams were fighting for all they were worth. Tommy Lahey, one of the best referees that ever blew a whistle made his first appearance last night and he had the men work ing cleanly, if it was little rough
 
 it times.
 New Haven started off with q rush and in minute and half. Dews, the former local boy had placed the first goal behind the netting. In just fifty seconds later Murray had tied the score for Waterbury. AL most after the ball was rushed on the next go Dews hammered in an- other one and in even less time Mur- ray took the next. Thus it went un- til the close of the period when Wa terbury had the lead by to 3. The second period developed the fiercest bottle of the night and Bone and the men behind him tried hard to throw it into the locals. Excitement reign ed supreme and when the bell sound- ed for the close of that period again did Waterbury have four and New Haven three to her credit. In the third period both teams were tired, but they fought until almost ex- hausted and when the bell rang for the close each team had scored two goals the final score ten to eight in our favor. The lineup:

HARTFORD WON FIRST.

Hartford. Jan 9.-fIartford's roller polo team broke into the victory col umn for the first time last night and the victim was Bridgeport. It was a slap-bang kind of game and the Hartford enthusiasts had good deal to cheer over. Manager Starkie re- ceiyed a telegram from 0'Hara, the new halfback. that he signed in Fall River, the player sending word that he would be unable to come to Hart ford until this morning. Dumpy Williams. Bridgeports most celebrat- ed player. was unable to go on the floor as his skates were provided only with wooden rollers. Wooden and metal rollers are forbidden on the floor and most all of the players have rollers made of paper. It is said 10 be the kind of paper that they make railroad car wheels out of and while it is about as hard as iron it does not cut into the surface.
 It took Fusari but four seconds to cage the first goal and this was re- ceived with great cheers. Hartford got five straight before Bridgeport put one behind Starkie and it was seen that Hartford was sure to win. Rhodes. the giant halfback. who brings his London experience into this league. electrified the crowd by hitting the bail on the fly. showing that he had his batting eye with him.
 He has hardly recovered from his re- cent illness and he retired after the first period. Cannon. the Pride of Burnside" came on in his place.
