 FROM RUNNING BOARD

Conductor Arthur Seltsam, who is employed by the Connecticut Com pany, had a narrow escape, when an automobile moving it was said at 40 miles an hour swept him off the run ming board of his car, at Koonchaug Inn. near Washington Bridge at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. A pas senger, an Italian workman, whose name was not learned, was knocked off at the same time. Neither was much injured. The auto was moving so fast that its number could not be taken. The automobile passed the car on the wrong side and the driver did not stop to ascertain whether or not he had hurt or killed anyone.

 Flash suggests rapidity and delight fully so for the reason that the Flask fountain pen can be filled in the shake of a lambs tail. It has a cap that screws on tight which insures the ink remaining where it is put and will not flow down as with some other makes of pen This is the best non-leakable medium price fountain pen that has ever been placed on the market for many reasons. In Bridgeport and vicinity many hundreds have been sold to satisfied users. It makes a very nice present for the tourist or for those going in the country. perhaps. where they do not have ink. steel pens and other useful things.

CLASS HYMN TO BE
 SUNG AT GRADUATION
 OF B. H. 5. CLASS OF '09

The following pretty verses by Miss Cornelia Sterrett Penfieid have been accepted by the literary committee of the Bridgeport High school to be sung at the graduation of the class of 1909. They have Ibeen set to music. by Miss Eleanor Lewis. June softly breathes her perfumed
 benediction; The evening wind above us lightly
 signs; The opening portals outward swing
 before us, Beyond, the dimly vista'd future lies. Our echoing steps re-echo yet more Far down the shadowed aisles as, ere
 we part, Tonight we quaff from Memory's chal-
 iced nectar Our farewell pledge. enshrined in every
 heart. Althought, the threshold passed, our
 ways are sundered, To each Time gives some measure of
 his golds Let us then strive to spend our 1argess
 wisely, The future may restore it hundred
 fold. O Father. grant Thy guidance all our
 jOurneying, Lead Thou our paths unto the heav-
 onward way, Until at length the dawn of Thy to-
 morrow Fulfills Thy promise of the perfect
 day.

Last evening, when Lysander John
Appleton reached home, tired and de-
pressed, he took off his coat and began
to hunt for his slippers.
You needn't take off your shoes, .
said his wife; II want you to go to a
card party with me-"
Lysander John said nothing; he had
learned the futility Of argument and
imploring. He tied up his shoestrings
and went upstairs.
HE has learned to submit" said his
wife to herself.
He opened a window when up there,
and neighbors say that a red tablecloth
was waved three times.
Lysander John returned downstairs
and was engaged in eating his supper
a half hour later, when a policeman
appeared with a warrant for his arrest.
He pleaded that there must be some
!, mistake; that he was needed at home
to escort his wife to card party, but
the officer was obdurate. and marched
him off and kept hi mall night.
Lysander John returned in time for
breakfast, and explained to his wife
that it was a case of mistaken iden-
tity
She believes him, but the neighbors
don't; they saw that tablecloth waved,
and claim it was signal of distress,
and that it called a policeman to ar
rest him and save him from the card
party.-Atchison Globe.

IOWA, DECEMBER ID

the Mason Automobile Company and
for many years clerk of the u. S..
courts, is about ready to promote the
organization of a company to make
paint. The paint mine Is located on
land in Jasper county almost at the
exact spot where the state capital of
Iowa was once definitely located by
law. Some years ago the late G. Van
Ginkel bought this land and developed
the paint ores and established a paint
factory in Des Moines, but it fell into
bad mana cement and failed 1t is pos
sible that Mason will establish the
factory on the land, which Is not far
from Monroe.
The final report Of the State capitol
commission has at last been printed
and the pamphlet has been distributed.
A final report was made in March, 1905,
but there was no provision for publ
cation, and as there was other work to
be done a supplemental report was
made later The last legislature ordered
both printed. The ccb mission made
number of recon- nkndations which
have not as yet been acted upon, the
most important being that the con-
struction of the south wing of the cap
itol be made fireproof the same as the
north wing which was rebuilt 1t was
pointed out that there is great danger
of another serious loss to the state by
neglect of this matter

Whistlino Lanouaoe.

In Gomera, one of the smallest Of
the Canary islands, the "silvando" or
whistling language survives. A corre-
spondent writes: "A traveller must land
at the little port of San Sebastian and
there find muleteer from the interior
With him he must ride up the steep
bridal paths that wind thru the noun
tains. When no longer any living thing
is within sight and the wilderness is
only broken by the crimson flower OF
the cactus growing in the clefts Of
the rock, the muleteer dismounts, sets
his forefingers together at right angle
and places them in his mouth. An ar
row Of piercing sounds shoots across
the ravines and up the stony terraces
into the Businesses Of the mountains.
A moments pause and there comes a
thin, almost uncanny answering whistle
from far away. Conversation begins,
and, as the sounds raise ana fall, are
staccatoed or drawn out, 80 they are

The Lesser Crime.

A duck hunter who has just returned
from the Maine shores tells story
typical of the hardy men who live
there. On one of the islands near
where he went lived man who acted
as postman for the few scattering
houses on the island. and who would
row to the mainland every day and
bring back the mail, for which he re-
ceived 80 cents.
One morning during terrific storm
the hunter saw the postman pull over;
several times during the trip the boat
was nearly swamped, and the man IL
danger of his life.
Why in the world did you make tina,
trip?' asked the hunter, Surely no,
for the so cents?"

founded long,letter to Washington ex.

rather pull the boat"

The Oyster a Ward Of U. s.

Altho it is we'll known that oysters
are planted, it seems funny that it is
the department of agriculture that is
to inspect all the oyster beds and the
stations from which the bivalves are
shipped. The yearly output of oysters
on the Atlantic coast is valued at near
ly s20,000,O00. A very great part OF
the trade being interstate, the tariff
becomes subject to federal regulation
and inspection We may expect to see
the oyster swell with pride and become
more cleanly than ever in his person

Eddyville, Dec 24-After working
for eight years on the invention of a
certain kind of rubber syringe, which
is said to be absolutely unique. DR. j.

final patents, and the Duplex Rubber
