Catching a Tartar.

A Pennsylvania trout fisherman had an adventure which Is a warning to thoughtless persons. He was In his boat, casting his flies, when he saw something swimming across the creek ;everal rods up stream. He thought it was a mink, but when 1t got within Il couple of yards he saw it was wild cat Without stopping to think he cast his line toward the animal and the next instant regretted his hasty action. The hook caught in the cats ears, and it promptly turned and swan toward the boat. He padded away, but the eat overlook the boat and proceeded to climb in. The fisherman knocked the animal on the head with the paddle and the movement capsized the boat Then there was fight in the water, and the fisherman defended himself so we'll with the paddle that he was able to reach the shore. The wildcat fol- lowed, but few well directed blows finished it. There was two dollar bounty on the animal, but as the fish erman lost all his fishing tackle and had his clothing badly torn he thinks he had the worst of the bargain. At any rate, he will never again fish for a wildcat

Philadelphia Filler of 17s7.

Tn these days of fast trains we can hardly conceive how the newspaper announcement made March 10, 1737. that 'flier would begin flying on 3d April to perform the journey between New York and Philadelphia in one day" could have created a great sen .ation-even in Philadelphia. Eighty miles in fourteen hours does not seem to us such breathless speed, but when we read in the same paper that in or der to accomplish this feat John But Ter, with his wagon, must needs set out from the sign of the Death of the Fox at daybreak and drive at top speed fhe horses being changed al each stage ere the coach stops rock ing) to meet the ferry of Rubin Fitz- randolph, which delivers passengers in New York by night"
 We can understand that for those leisurely times this was indeed ''go- ing some." This, at least, was the opinion of a traveller who performed this Journey in 1737, for he writes home, "And if any one wishes to travel more quickly let him go to Kentucky and charter a streak of lightning"

Famous "Ir0n Man" and ErStwhile Box Ar is. no Longer in Demand-Was a Great TwirIer.

Especial from United Press.)
 New York, Jan. 13.-It's to the junk pile for "Iron Man. Joe McGinnity who for years has been one of the box artists of the National League. Man. ager McGraw of the Giants has asked for bid for his one-time star and up to to-day no club wants the man who used to shrink the batting averages of all opponents. The passing of Me- Gfnnity is a baseball drama with a throb in it almost as great as though it were "Cy'' Young himself who was making his exit. For ten years "Mac'' has been one of the stars of the game. He is the inventor of raise ball; was one of the first to get wise to the spit ball, and was pioneer in the art of pitching double-shoots on sultry afternoons.
 He got his name of tIron Man from the strength of his right Whip" and the further fact that he owns an iron foundry at his Indian Territory home. He says he will go back to the foun- dry rather than return to the minors.

The DaxxIinu 8earchIioht,

On a dark night no warship would be safe from torpedo attack but for the searchlight. The full moon lights up a torpedo boat so that it can be fred at when nearly mile away. To produce the same illumination with the most powerful artificial light an electric arc of 100000 candle power placed three-quarters of mile high would be needed if the aid of mirrors were not available. But with this light and an ingenious arrangement of mirrors it is possible to surpass the moon. Searchlights are now made which throw light distance of sixty three miles, but objects can be seer only a few miles from the source of the light. The effect on the enemy is most demora1izing. When the bright beam is suddenly thrown on the eye the pupil contracts violently; when the beam is removed the eye can see noth ing. If this be repeated few times 1t takes all the nerve out of man, so that only the best trained and most courageous can continue the attack London Answers.

IF JEFFRlES CAN GET IN SHAPE
 HE'LL WIRE TO
 MR. JACK JOHNSON
Great Undefeated White Champion and Al Kaufman Start on B Weeks
 Vaudeville Tour.
Special from United Press.)

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 13.-Chan- pion James J. Jeffries is going to att tempt to get into fighting trim once more In the opinion of some of his closest friends in this city if he finds that his long period of ease and idle- ness has not unfitted him, he will go after Jack Johnson, the present holder of the heavyweight championship and bring the coveted title back to the camp of the white scrapper.
 This belief current to-day, despite testy denials from the retired cham rion, is based on Jeffries' decision to appear for thirty weeks as a vaude- vile attraction. He will be accom- panied on his tour by Al Kaufman, the promising young heavyweight who will appear as his sparring partner. It is believed that in addition to fur nishing a splendid financial return, the tour will give Jeffries an opportunity to learn if he has the ability to get this line are realized no one doubts but that he will go after the big choc- olate colored scrapper.
 If, on the other hand, Jeffries finds that he has gone back too far to ever be his old self 1t is expected that he will take Kaufman under his wing end endeavor to teach the youngster the tricks of the sport which may en- able him to wrest Johnson's laurels from him.
 The theory is strengthened by the significance of Jeffries having accepted vaudeville engagement at this time. It is well known that he has had va rious offers of this sort in the past two years but he has turned them all down. The fact that he is tied up by his con- tract for thirty weeks has no particu- lar significance as it is generally rec ognized that Johnson will not be in- veigled into any match for the cham pionship until he has had a few months easy picking among the second rat

HONOR OF CITY
 IS AT STAKE IN
 HARBOR LINE DEAL

(Editorial in To-day's Bridgeport Tel
 egram)
 For the honor of Bridgeport it is to be hoped that the majority of the Board of Aldermen will not vote to discontinue the city harbor line with out proposing some satisfactory sub- stitute for it. The present Federal line was confessedly made to further the designs of the railroad and those who framed 1t regarded Bridgeport as a mere railroad station with no com mercial or other interests which com- nianued respect. To acquiesce in such an arbitrary decision of matters which affect the future of a growing city and passively allow the line to stand should be unthinkable to the dignity of the city and also some regard to the wish es of those who have chosen them as their representatives. There may be divided opinions as to the desirability of the city line as a whole; but it is hard to see how any citizen who has noted the trend of public opinion in respect to harbor values in places like Bridgeport can fail to grasp the im- prudence of placing it's future destin- ies as a port completely in the hands of the railroad.
 There is every possibility that State or Federal interference will be neces- to protect the public against the mo- nopolies which have been the growth of their own heedlessuess. Even then 1t is difficult to see what could be done with harbor which had been modified with the sole view of serving railroad exigencies. Confiscation would of course be unjust and impossible; but the cost of buying back the rights of the city at forced sale would undoubt- edly be enormous Freedom would be cheap at the price of the highest dam ages the railroad Is now likely to ob- tain, and the aldermen on either side who are ready to barter away the lib- critics of Bridgeport harbor for all time assume a heavy responsibility.

Use Linoniine
 The Fz0x Teed
 Emulsion Beware of Colds !!

Most fatal sicknesses have their begin nings in simple ''cold" or in slight cough. Consumption first shows in a cough. Bronchitis is accompanied by a cough. The first stage of La Grippe is a 'tcold." Pneumonia is preceded by cough and violent "cold." Croup--that terrible malady of childhood--comes solely as condition of ''cold." Rheumatism gen. orally follows neglect after exposure and the consequent "cold" or cough. Kidney Troubles, including Bright's disease and other fatal complications, are often due to ''cold" which settles in that region.
 Linonine will cure you if there is any cure for you.

NON-DETECTABLE FALSE TEETH ON A PLATE

There are thousands of people in the world now wearing artificial teeth on an old style rubber plate with the hideous red gums or else white to unnaturalness that are as easy to detect as the rising of the sun. A word spoken,a smile given, and the wearer of these old fash toned artificial teeth is immediately stamped and often placed in very annoying positions by impertinent remarks. Still if I could meet these thousands of people and have a heart to heart talk with each and everyone of them I could explain to them my advanced theory of the dental profession, show them sam pies of my Porcelain plates, the naturalness of which defy the c1everest in the dental profession, Porcelain Artificial Teeth. .......

Por- celain Plates are the exact counter part of nature initiating the gums of the mouth in all their healthful colors. The combinations used in the production of Porcelain Contin- uous Gum Plates are of a healing, soothing and antiseptic quality to the tissues of the mouth instead of possessing a tendency to cause in- fammation as anything made of rubber necessarily must. Porcelain plates have been used for almost a score of years and the few dentists who have been fortunate enough to do this kind of plate work have had very busy laboratories but it is only recently through the inven- tion of high fusing dental fur mace that it is possible to produce
