The Spiritual Line

A good story is told of very Sc
date doctor of divinity. When return
ing by train frorA church congress,
fellow passenger undertook to draw
him into conversation, and so far sue
ceeded that the reverend gentleman
asked him to what profession he hap
pened to belong.
"Oh," said the layman, cheerfully,
'Tm in the cotton line"
ooh, indeed" replied the clergy
man, urbanely; there is a good deal
of business going on in that branch
just now, l understand"
First class" said the layman, with
a cunning smile. "And may I ask
what is your line?"
81" said the clergyman, patronizing-
1y, with the nearest approach to a
joke he was ever known to perpe-
trate, I'm in the spiritual line"
"Blest if 1 didn't think So" ex-
claimed his companion, knowingly;
and putting one hand on the doctors
knee, he leaned forward eagerly and
added, with an indescrible wink, "but
say, what price you have got gin
up to?"-Lindon Tit-Bits.

oming was younger-and not so wise
he wrote a poem. 1t was humor-
Gus poem touching upon political con-
ditions in the city hall at Buffalo,
N. Y, where he then lived.
With his back against the locked
door, he read the poem to coterie
of friends. They all laughed hear
tily, but none so heartily as the au-
thor himself.
Encouraged by their apparent ap-
probation of his wit, he took the
poem to the city editor of a local
paper. The editor also laughed with
a heartiness which was flattering, but
he handed the manuscript back.
"Why-isn't it good?" demanded the
poet in surprise.
"Fine!"
"Are you going to print it?"
ed like to-" said the editor, lower
ing his voice to a whisper, 'but, you
see, Walls, I've got wife and chill
dren."

thing to find than fve-pound note.
He or she is radiating focus of good
will; and their entrance into room
is as though another candle had been

they could prove the forty-seventh

than that, they practically demon

The SAUSAGE In History.

Sausage has even from very early
times been a popular table delicacy.
Aristophanes was familiar with it and
in Roman days the sausages of T,u-
cania we're in high esteem. They
were made from pork and the nuts Of
the stone pine, favored with bay
leaves and other things more familiar.
Bologna was celebrated for its sau-
sages long before the German sausage
had even thought of invading the rest
OF the world, and until quite lately it
was commonly called in England a
"polony"

AUTOS CUT INTO
 FOOTBALL TRAFFIC
RAILROAD FIGURES FROM VALE PRIN ETON GAME SHOW BRIDGEPORT LEADING STATE CITIES

An official statement from the office of the New York, New Haven and
 Hartford Railroad company yesterday shows that on November 13. the day of the Yale-Princeton football match at New Haven there were carried from New York. 17.S44 round trip pas senSers; from Bridgeport, 1.400; from Hartford S04; from Meriden 656: from South Norwalk 270; from Springfield PIP. and from other points 446. Adding excess of regular business traffic 10, SS4 passengers, the total carried was 32.295. This. however. is less than the number of passengers carried at the Yale-Princeton game in 1907. when the total was 8. 999. As. however, there were carried from New York this year nearly 1000 more passengers than in 1907. the total receipts show an in crease. being this year s45.O5s as com pared with S44.53S two years ago, an incr ease of S519.
 4 striking feature of this years re- turns is the fact that in five Connec- ticut cities of which returns are given Bridgeport. Hartford. Meriden, Stamford and South Norwalk there is a very large decrease this year of about 40 per cent. This is accounted for presumptiyely by the greatly in creased use of automobiles in the state. Counting the business on the day be- fore and the day after. the game the football passengers receipts amount nearly to the passenger receipts from the whole system for a normal day
 Dividing the passengers so asi they represent inward and outward pas senger traffic there were 1S.105 from New York and other points to New Haven. and 1S.110 outgoing.
 The comparative, returns show that there are very much larger receipts from the Yale-Harvard- football games at New Haven than from the Yale Princeton match owing to the longer haul from Boston.
 On the daN of the Vale Pr-fucafor game the returns show that not a passenger was injured nor was there any serious delay of the 40 or more special fngoing and outgoing trains.

 for yourself We set fire to this
 thinking the house would burn also, but after we left the fire died out, or some one put it out. We did not go back to see. If you do not leave this money this time where we say we will set every building you own off. If the barn had of had a good start 1t would of taken the house, too. We will give you one more chance. and when we get this we will not bother you. And mind when we tell you to leave it in the tin box in the hollow tree on the corner of the COW lane back of the red barn on the place on King street.
