YOUTHFUL PEDESTRIAN

New Haven, Aug 5.-Possessed seem- ingly with a peculiar pedestrian desire little nine-year-old Ralph Cole of Spring street set out yesterday to walk to Norwalk, but when he had reached West Haven he was held up by Officer Smith, and after he had told his little story of his ambitions to go down state the officer took charge of him and sent him to the Organized Chari- ties to be returned to his parents. That little Ralph is very much in love with Norwalk seems the reason for his at tempt, for one day about a week aga he set out for that city and actually reached there.

Ships Racing Home
 To Defeat Tariff
Especial from United Press.)

New York, Aug. 5--Commercial "C. O. D." meSsa geS are being flashed oceanward today urging ship captains to put a nigger on the safety valve and crowd on more steam as they used to do in the Mississippi river racing days. The reason for the hur- ry-up messages is the desire of the ship owners to have their vessels reach port before the new tariff bill becomes a law. There are thousands of casks and cases of rare wines and brandies on steamers headed toward America and if they reach port be- fore President Taft afiXes his name to the new bill thousands of dollars may be saved
 The Marconi and United Wireless Companies report handling many wire less messages to captains telling them to rush toward home. The PennSyl- vania of the Hamburg American line is bringing a large amount of German wines. The owners declare if the veS- sel beats the tariff bill they will save S10, 900 in duties

MAYOR THOMS BACK
WATERBURY'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE PAID VISIT TO ELIHU YALE'S TOMB WHILE ON EUROP- FAN TRIP.

FAN TRIP.
 Waterbury, Aug. 5.-Mayor William E. Thoms has returned to this city after his trip of six weeks in the Brit ish Isles and reports a delightful trip and many interesting sites visited. Among the places to which he paid visit was the tomb of Elihu Yale of which he says:
 "A day at Wrexham was one of the pleass sntest-a sort of pilgrimage to the tomb of Elihu Yale. It is not in England, but in Wales, and yet not so very far from the lines of travel: less than an hour from Chester. Wrex- ham church is some 600 or TOO years old, a hundred years makes little diff ference there. and it possesses hand some clock tower. but the chief inter est attaches to the old-fashioned rec tangular tomb just outside the west door. There is an iron fence around 1t, and the inscriptions upon it are in good condition. except the unessential one that it was restored by the au- thorities of Yale college. U. S.-'Eli- hugh Yale was inferred here,' on such date. so the inscription runs. and on the other side appears the welI-known epitaph, ending:
 Only the actions of the just
 Smell sweet and blossom in the silent dust.
 "I do not know whether there is a fund in existence for the perpetual care of this tomb. but if there is not it would seem as though the old Yale ! Literary Magazine, which bears on it's cover the picture of Elihu Yale, and a Latin couplet in his honor, which I can't quote from memory. it would seem as though this nurse and guard ian of the literary spirit of Yale might here find field of usefulness" Speaking of London. he says: Plural England is much more attractive to | offr h alvxyQx " c been my delight to get away from the usual lines of American travel. A big ugly city London seems, with poverty and wretchedness its chief tenants. Not that the slums of London are any ! worse than those of New York or Paris or any other large city, but it is their extent that appals one.- Well policed all these districts are, and fairly clean, but misery and suffering are written on the faces of millions of people in | East London, and a day or so spent there will give one a troubled con- science and unpleasant dreams"

A bed bug crawling on vour children's clothes

A bed bug crawling on your children's clothes when away from home does not speak we'll of that home, but instead gives to your friends a lasting impression of neglect and carelessness in that home and is often whispered around among other friends of the family. Such un- pleasant comment could have been avoided if you had used Cyrus Presto Killer. for Bedbugs. The cost is only 25 cents and would have effectually cleaned the bed.
