G. w. Falrchild & Sons, jewellers, Bridgeport, call attention to their June sale of plated silver ware, in beauti- ful exclusive pattern. They do not offer you teaspoons at 10 cents or l2s cents each made out of town. but "Lo. cal Pride" convinces them that their beautiful new Wisteria spoon at l5 cents made in Bridgeport, is much cheaper because of its superior weight. quality and design, guaranteed by the maker and by themselves. Why buy cheap acticle when few cents more will give you better weight, quality and design. Cheap silver ware is the poorest sort of an investment.

HABIT OF SWEARING.

Rev Mir Pickett had an excellent ser mon, text, Psalms Stand in awe and sin not" deploring the almost un- iversal sin of swearing and many oth- CTS. perhaps not indulged in, but en, couraged by others laughing at instead of reproving them who commit them. The habit of swearing has no excuse. like drunkenness, which is sometimes thought hereditary. It seems to me a great mistake if not a real sin, that the Ten Comamndents are not read in the churches. How many of the ris-

MARRIAGE WHILE YOU WAIT.

Marriage at matrimonial agencies is on the decline in Australia. Fivt thousand three hundred and fifty two marriages were celebrated in Sydney last year, and of these only 97 took place at agencies, as against 732 in the previous year. There was a remarkable increase of 400 at the meeting place of body known as the 'Whitefeld CongregatiOnslists. " These agencies openly advertise in the Sydney and Melbourne papers their readiness to provide a Prot estant minister of any denomination at any time to perform the marriage ceremony. They also keep rings, witnesses and all other essentials on the premises. These agencies have been repeatedly denounced by the judges in the divorce courts. For free and easy marriage and divorce facilities Australia is not far behind Dakota.-Dundee Advertiser.

is AMERICAN ONLY A MINOR LEAGUE?

( team was about as good then as it
is now. There is no team in the
American league, except possibly
the New York Highlanders, which
would in all likelihood have won
more than one game from the Cubs
in the worlds series this fall That
is provi, ded the said team did not
completely lose it's nerve and its
speed, as Detroit did. On their all
seasan form the Maps, White Sox
or st. Louis Browns would have
given the Cubs a terrific battle for
the worlds championship, and with
some breaks" of luck any one of
those teams would have won out,
as did the Sox in 1906.
If the long run of accidents and
illnesses which kept the Cubs back
all summer had finally given the
National league flag to New York
or Pittsburg, while Chicago, Cleve-
land or st. Louis had wont out in
the American | think the odds
would have been in favor of the
American league winner in the post
season series. The Giants have
only one real pitcher, Mathewson,
and unless he unaided could have
won, New York would have had a
desperate time to beat the Maps,
Sox or Browns. The Pirate pitch
ers class pretty evenly with the
mound workers of the American
leagues best teams, and battles be-
tween Pittsburg and any of the
American league leaders would
have been interesting.
AS for tail end teams, those of
the A. l.. outclass those of the N.
L., as has been proven for several
seasons past by the way the former
consistently beat the leaders, while
the Giants, Pirates and Cubs as a
rule find the weaker clubs very
easy picking.
| No, the American league is not a
minor league. Collins Boston bunch
:, showed that when they took the
worlds honors from the Piraes five
years ago. The White Sox showed
it when they cleaned up the Cubs
two years ago. The Athletics took
good beating from Mathewson
assisted by the Giants, in 1905 1t
is sad thing for the American
league that the Tigers drop dead
after their regular season is over
and play like old women for the
worlds honors.
