TROLLEY CARS JAR
 EACH OTHER BUT
 PASSENGERS ESCAPE

The crews of two electric cars and the passengers were rudely shaken last evening as the result of9a tail-end collision which occurred at Stratford and Seaview avenues.
 At o'clock, Seaview avenue ear swung from Seaview avenue into Strat- ford avenue on the west bound track just in time to get in the way of a car coming towards the center of the city. The ends of both cars were bad ly smashed and the greater part of the window glass broken. Herbert D. Sherman, credit man with David Tru- bee & Co. was a passenger on the Sea- view avenue car. A spear shaped piece of glass was hurled toward his head and pierced the crowd of his Der by hat. A woman passenger who said she. was Mrs. McDonald of New Brit tain was bruised and cut but she had no time to stop to talk about it as she was desircus of catching the 7:20 train.
 The car from Stratford was filled with passengers and after the crash there was rush for the rear door. There was hardly anyone in the car whose clothing did not have pieces of glass upon it.
 Motorman Frank filling and Conduc- tor Clark of the Seaview avenue line were severely shaken. Conductor Brown and Moto. man Martin of the Paradise Green car were also some what unnerved by their experiences. At the office of the company this morn irg it was stated that they were all able to be about to-day.

Meriden's Place In
 Conn. League May Be
 Given to Northampton

The committee on the revision of the constitution of the Connecticut League met in New Haven this afternoon and decided upon a report that will be made at the annual meeting of the di- rectors which is expected to meet Feb. 9. The proposed changes in the league constitution give the president more authority than he has enjoyed hereto fore, making the power of the presi- dent plain and his rulings final. Man ager O'Rourke of this city drafted the new rules as secretary of the commit tee which also comprises James H. Clarkin of Hartford and A. E.. Taylor of Chicopee, vice president of the league. If the proposed rules are adopted by the directors it is expected that they will prove the death blow to rowdyism.
 President Tracy of the league is in favor of taking in Northampton in case Meriden drops out Goldie Bow Ter, a former Connecticut league twir- Ter, is said to be interested in the forming of a company of Northampton men to take over the Meriden- fran chise. From Holyoke and Springfield standpoint the town will help the league, but it is a question whether it would be a financial benefit to the other towns. Northampton has al- ways been a good baseball town, it's 25.000 inhabitants generally turning ont Hberally to most of the games

Mary Was Spoiled.

A doctor in one of the West Phila- delphia children's homes tells the story of woman who came to him one day in a most perturbed state of mind. She had taken home her daugh- ter of five years the week previous, after stay of a year in the home, and found she had an elephant on her hands. "Oh, sir" she said to the doc tor, whatever can I do with Mary? You have made her far too gra0d for her own home. Why. the first day4she was back she refused to be dressed in the morning till she had bath: then she would eat no breakfast whatever because she wanted fruit and some serious food first, and. last of all. she put saucer of water at her place at the table and she dips her fingers in that every few minutes. Sure, doctor. don't know what I'll do.' and the woman passed out. shaking her head as if the problem was certainly too much for her.-Philadelphia Record.

Enjoy Your Meals
By Simply Eating A Little Pleasant Tablet After
 Each of Them.
A TABLET DIGESTS A MEAL


 When digestion is perfect the fluids necessary to this process come natur- ally to the aid of the stomach. They are of right proportion and do their work speedily and well. When indi- gestion and dyspepsia are prevalent. these same juices come slowly if at all, are weak and insufficient or are filled with strong acids and alkalies.
 When such a condition exists each meal is hardship upon the digestive organs. The meal should strengthen the juices, but on the contrary it weakens them, so that man by the very act of eating causes conditions to arise which of themselves bring him pain and loathing for the next meal.
 By eating one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets you mix the tablet with your saliva and it goes into your stomach strong, vigorous f1uid,many times more powerful than the natural digestive juices. These tablets are made up from natural vegetable and fruit es- sences and are composed from Hy- drastis, Golden Seal, Lactose Nux, As cetic Pepsin, Bismuth and Jar1aica Ginger. There is the formula and one grain of it will digest 5000 grains of food in any stomach. Beside di- gesting the food it will give the blood the power to enrich the dige stive fluids so after time nature will take care of itself. Though you have no stomach trouble one of these tablets after each meal is a powerful assist ance to nature and is an excellent habit to make.
 Go to any druggist. and ask his cpin- ion of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets We will abide his answer if he be an hon. est man. They sell for soc per pack age Send us your name and address and we will send you trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co., 150 Stuart Bldg, Marshall. Mich.

I have set my heart on the circus game, and what time can spare from that will be de- voted to the auto business. and there you are. I have no more time for baseball"

GAME WARDEN
 SMITH SETS GOOD EXAMPLE
Call to Sportsmen is to Look After the
 Quail and Do it Now.
No More Quail Can be Had for Restock. ing Purposes = How To Provide for Those We Have.

Game Warden Smith of South Nor- walk. accompanied by three we'll known sportsmen. was out yesterday clearing away the snow and placing food for quail. One flock of eighteen quail was found gleaning scanty breakfast from the weed seeds sticking above the snow. It is of the utmost importance that those knowing of flocks of quail should take both interest and time to 1lnd them and place food when the snow is deep as at present and esp C. lally when underneath is crust. and the bushes and weeds are covered with ice.
 From the commissioners report 1t is plain that no more quail can be pur- chased for restocking purposes and we must rely upon what few we have at present. Quail increased last year and every little flock that can be wintered means so many cheery. calls of Bob White in the meadows and from the fences next sDring-a note dear to sportsmen and all others alike.
 No doubt others have placed food during the present storm. but the late- ness of the season and the favorabIe conditions thus far which have kept the birds in excellent condition. should cause spOrtsmen everywhere to redou- ble their efforts during the next month to save every quail possible.
 On the return home the warden and his party covered a portion of the South Norwalk preserve Id flushed flock of nine Hungarian partri ges. the increase from the birds liberated last spring. Another flock of these birds was seen in another section last week and one gentleman reported flock estimated at thirty birds ou his land This increase from eight pair liberated on the preserve last spring illustrates the value of giving the new birds a chance and what prolific breeders they are The commissioners received a large consignment of these birds on the 2Srd of December which are being cared for until spring.
