WOMAN
read amid the sneering smiles of the

read amid the sneering smiles of the people gathered in a divorce court. So be careful of the letters you write, and be equally careful Of the letters you keep. Remember. if any thing should happen to you, those let ters will be seen by many eyes. Re- member. too. that letters express the thought of the moment and are mean tngless within a short time after they are written. so why keep them? had talk with wise woman the other day who has a wise plan regard ing letters.
 Do I keep letters? Yes, but not up packet and placed 1t In a drawer of her desk. You see," she contin- uer. T do save some letters after answering them-at least save them for Q time, and each year few let ters go among those which I suppose I shall keep as long as I live. But have outgrown the habit of keeping letters indiscriminately.
 II know that I may be charged with lack of sentiment, but have a defense. and I think a good one to make on that score. It seems to me that more sentiment-more true sem l timent, that fs-is shown in selecting the letters to be kept than by keep ing pretty nearly everything.
 "Of course, 1t is the personal let ters that I'm talking about-the let ters from relatives and friends. Busi ness letters are in a class by them selves. and. naturally, they. are to be kept as long as they are needed for reference or to establish points,
 I'll own that destroying the large number of personal letters sent to me has been a matter of education on my part used to keep them on fously; indeed, felt as if 1t were 2 discourteous and almost an unkind act to consign them to the flames. But one day. when was confronted with great pile of such letters. I sat down and thought 1t over.
 T realized, in the first place, that for anyone else to go over the letters in that pile would be a task not to be described as light and then 1t occurred to me that really 1t was not right for me to leave letters written by others where. in the course of time. they might pass under eyes other than mine. I decided, then and there, that I would start in sorting. with view to keeping some and destroying the remained. This sorting took many hours, and it was not completed till months had passed, for l did 1t only In odd moments and when I was in the mood. But kept at 1t, and I have been thankful ever since that I did. From the day I reached my decision and acted on 1t, I let the same rule apply to letters thereafter received
 Now. I am not harassed by the thought of accumulations of letters, and. what is more. I know that the letters have kept are preserved with reason. If I want to refer to them can tell where they are. and they are easy of access.
 T believe in my system, or wouldn't follow 1t. I don't recommend 1t to any other. for every person must be a law to himself or herself in this matter. But I will say that I have found existence somewhat simpler with such plan. and I think. all things considered, that 1t is rather duty, not only toward oneself, but to ones correspondents"

CUTICURA MET WITH ITS USUAL SUCCESS

"I have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema. One of them had it on her lower limbs. did everything that could hear of for her, but 1t did not give in until warm weather when it seemingly subsided: The next winter when it became cold weather the eczema started again and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches as large as a quarter Of 6 dollar. At the same time her arms were sore the whole length of them. I took her to phy- sician and he said that she had two distinct types of eczema. continued with him for several weeks and the child grew worse all of the time. Her sisters arms were also affected in the same way. My husband came home one day with q box of Cuticura Oint- ment and a cake of Cuticuras Soap. began using them and also the Cuttcure Pills and by the time the second lot was used their skin was soft and smooth as 1t had not been before for the winter

THoUGHTs OF LOVE

Truly too much or our n., aas IF s6sut in waiting. like the blind men fr the lerend who had traveied far that fhey might hear their God. They were seated on the steps and when asked what they were doing In the court ward of the sanctuary, they rephea' .shaklng their heads: We are walt fnR. and God has not yet said . word

 < Never for an instant does God cease fo apeak but no one thinks of opening the doors. And yet with little watch fulness 1t would not be dihicult to hear the word that God must speak concerning our every act
 We all live in the sublime. where else could we live. That is the only pIace of life. Though you may have but a little room. do you imagine tnat 4zod is not there, too, or that IL IS Impossible to live therein a life that is aofty7 If you complain of being alone. of the absence of events. of loving no one and being unloved, do you thinK that khe words are true?

 And if you do not love. or are up- loved, and can see that thousands of things are beautiful, that the soul Is wreat and life almost unspeakably earnest. is that not as beautiful as if you loved or were loved?
 And if the sky itself Is hidden from you ''does not the great starry sky, asks the poet, spread over your soul, in spite of all. under the guiss of death2''
 All that happens to us is divinely great, and we are always in the cen ter of a great world. But we must &C., custom ourselves to live like an angel who has just sprung into life. like a woman who loves. or a man on the point of death.
 If you knew that you were going Co die tonight. or merely that you would have to go away and never re- turn, would you, looking upon men and things for the last time, see them In the same light that you have hitherto seen them? Would you not love as you have never yet loved? Is 1t the wirtue or the evil of appearance around you that would be magnified? Would it be given to you to behold the beau fly or ugliness of the soul?

Statement by Lime Rock

Lime Rock, Conn.,, June l5, 1909 EDITOR NEWS:
 We, the undersigned, desire to make the following statement. which will ex- plain the position of the Lime Rock baseball team, its directors, manager and captain, in reference to the man who has been playing on our team by the name of Prendergast, alias Meyers.
 Frank Meyers. whose name appears on our official list, was upable to come here for the first game on May 10th, The following week, after we had failed to find out satisfactorily why Meyers did not arrive, we sent Ryder, our pitt cher, to New Haven to find out what the trouble was, and bring back Meyers if possible. The day of the first game with Millerton, we received wire from Ryder, that he and Meyers would arrive on the noon train. They came and Prendergrast was known to us as Meyers until yesterday, when Ryder decided that it would be best to tell us the truth which he did as follows:
 On reaching New Haven Ryder found that Meyers had at the last moment changed his plans and could not come here, and finding Prerdergast, a friend of his out of health and anxious to get to the country, they decided that he should take the name of Meyers, which was the only way he could come here and play baseball. Together they se- cured the permission of Meyers and his family to use his name, believing that it would never be discovered, as Prender. gast had played baseball in New Haven under the name of Meyers, since he left high school a year ago.
 The assuming of Meyers name was more easily accomplished, as his right name is Conners, and as a matter of fact there is no Meyers. Both these men have been playing ball in New Ha. ven as Meyers. As soon as the fact was told us by Ryder yesterday, he and Prendergast were immediately dropped from the team, and have since left town

Scraps of Gossip Prem the Diamonds
 of the League Teams
 The Salisbury diamond was reversed last week SO that the batter and catcher now face west. This solves the question of the apple trees and removes that cause of dispute. The diamond has also been scraped and greatly improved.
 The Canaan team has been crippled by the fact that railroad teams have been organized and the local players employed ca the railroad are drafted for those games, willing or not. Scott and lief fernan play on the New Haven team organized by the N. Y, N. H. SS H. k. R., while Will Joyce, Dennis and Mitchael Foley have been drafted for the Central New England team. In 6 game played Saturday the New York, New Haven team defeated the Central New Englard aggregation by the score of 13 6.
 At meeting of tho directors of the league held Friday at the Garfield s decision in favor of Salisbury in the game played with Sheffield May go was rendered by the board. This was the game which was discontinued in the fifth on account of shower when the score stood to in favor. of Salisbury. Sheffield failed to appear when the game was called after the shower.
 The East Canaan team was defeated Saturday by Amenia by.th score of 10 to 1. Poole of Millerton was in the box for Amenia.

 June 14th, 1909. EDITOR of THE NEWS:
 If one is to believe the different re. ports from eye witnesses of the Canaan Lakeville baseball game played at Lake vile last Saturday it would appear that the game could be we'll summarized as being an exhibition of unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of the Lakeville team and its enthusiasts. Canaan was undoubtedly defeated upon the merits of the game but I congratulate the Ca- naan team that it cannot be said that they attempted to steal the signals of their opponents as did one Wilson of the Lakeville team who turned and with the assistance of equally cheap sports on the bench tried to see the Canaan catcher signal to his pitcher.
 The Canaan team did not resort to the vulgar and uncalled for talk and calling of names that is sreported as having been done by the captain of the Lakeville team. The catcher of the Lakeville
 
 out the little catcher of the Canaan team by unnecessarily running into him after he was forced out at home.
 The attendance was not sufficient to meet the expenses of the Canaan team by paying them the usual 40 per cent. of the receipts and the Lakeville team, according to the rules of the lea gue, had to make up these expenses. which amounted to & little over three dollars, by giving the Canaan team a part of their 60 per cent. In other words the total amount of money taken ill at that game was about SIP.
 am informed that last year the Ca naan team received from the Lalleyille manager for the first game played there $3l, being 40 per cent. of the receipts, and that at another game the Canaan team played in Lakevire last year the Lakeville team gave $51.12 to the Ca naan team as their share, viz. 40 per cent. of the receipts.
 Of course it must be admitted that these two games played in Lakeville last year were upon holidays, but neverthe- less it looks to the undersigned as though the importation of professionals onto the Lakeville team had sounded the death knen to the enthusiasm and

interest of the public in the games of the Housatonic Valley League. Pray do not think that these are the senti- ments of a sorehead because Lakevillo this is not true as Lakeville did the same thing last year and the writer hereof took off his hat to that Lakeville team and congratulated them on their success and always thought that they deserved to win.
 The playing of this years Lakeville team is far below that of last years team. "TRUE SPORT"

explorer will submit to the University Of

he reached the North pole on April 2l
1908, are today, in completed form.
Walter Lonsdale, secretary to Dr. Cook,
will sail tomorrow on the steamer United
States of the scandinavian line for Copen-
hagen, taking the records with him.
Mr. Lonsdale said today that DR.. Cook s
report contained between 5000 and OODl
words.
Il don't think that the general public
understands the work that we have been
doing" continued Mr.. Lonsdale. 1T has
been said that we were preparing the rec
ords.' Such a statement is inaccurate. The
original records go to the university just
as they were made by DR., Cook in the
arctic regions"
Mr. LOnsdale said he expected TO reach
Copenhagen December T. and Immediately
place the records in the hands of
the university authorities. How long the
will take in examining them
and in making. known its findings, Of
