BILLIARD TEAM QUITS
 INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE

Manager Pitt of the Bullard Machine Tool O., Baseball team announced to day, that owing to the lack of a foun- dalton. for a baseba1r team that his factory would not be listed in the Il- dustria1 Baseball league for the sea son of 1909 Manager Pitt has not for warded official action of this latest move on his part to the League di- rectors, as yet. but will do so within a few days This action on the part of the Bullard team will be regretted by all the other teams, not from a playing standpoint, but from the fact that the Bullard boys were in the game for the fun they got out of it. In 1907 the team finished seventh out of a field of eight, and last season last. During the season just passed they had one consolation, in knocking the pennant aspiration of their bitter ri- yals. the Union Typewriter Co. team out of sight They took one game from that team by the score of to 2. If the Yost boys had won the game the pennant would be flying out in the West End.
 The secretary of the league has re- cciyed an application from the War ner Brothers Co.,, team for representa- ton in the league in place of the Bull lard nine. The league directors will act on this application at its next meeting March 9th.

A Psychic Phsnomsnon.

An extraordinary incident is connec6. ed with Professor von Herkomer's far nous painting, ''The Last Muster.o which was the picture of its year at the academy.
 One morning soon after the exhibf tion was opened the artist was astons' ished to receive letter from lady, q perfect stranger, who said she was not aware until she saw "The Last Mister at the academy on the previ- ous day that her mother. then dead had ever sat to the professor for her portrait
 Now. the figure in the picture was painted solely from imagination, and the artist hasteDed to explain this fact to his correspondent. She thereupon asked for an appointment and took an oil painting of her mother, asserting that it was faithful representation of that lady.
 The academician was astonished to perceive that be had really portrayed on his own canvas facsimile of the figure in this other painting. although it was that of woman whom he had never seen in his life.-London M. A. F.

VENTILATION OF TROLLEY CARS
 USUALLY POOR
Secretary of S!ate Board of Health Points Need of Pure Air to Prevent Diseases of Respiratory Organs Death Rate For January is Low.

The monthly report of the Connecti- cut State Board of Health. which was given to the public to-day. shows that during the month there were 2,179 liv- ing births. and 1859 deaths. The deaths are at the rate of 15.9 per 1000 per year. Slightly more than one-fifth of these deaths are of persons under five years of age. Pneumonia is given as the cause in 233. and tuberculosis, 142 cases
 Tn connection with the means of pre- venting the latter diseases Secretary J. H. Townsend says.
 The state continues to enjoy ex- ceptionally good health. considering the season of the year. The death rate twelve per cent. lower than during the corresponding month of last year, and niLe per cent. lower than the average for the past five years.
 'iThe most gratifying feature of the months report is the decline in deaths from the impure air diseases. pneu- monia, consumption, and bronchitis, from these diseases than in January a year ago. This would seem to indi- cate that the campaign for better ven- tilatiOn is producing some result, and that the practice of ventilation is be- coming more general yet there is still room for great improvement. Those who are occupying hot. stuffy living and working quarters run great risk of contracting lung diseases. and should know that an abundant supply of pure fresh air is the most powerful agent for the prevention of these diseases. When the weather is cold we sNould keep our bodies warm by clothing them. properly and not by shutting out the fresh pure air. @ One of the crying needs of the pres ent day is better ventilation for our steam and trolley cars. No perfect system for the ventilation of these cars appears to have been yet devised, but conditions could be improved by more attention to the ventilators now in use Some of the interurban trolleys are auarticularly bad in their venti- Iation, and conductors could to advan- tage be instructed to pay some atten- ton to this matter. The practice of allowing passengers to enter or leave a car by either the front or rear door aids better to keep up a circulation of pure air than when only one exit is used Passengers also should learn not to object to a little draft. but should remember that this draft will not in jure them as much as breathing over and over again the stale air in

BRAVE GIRL

Miss Anna K. WiImberg Has PerilOus
 Ride on Ice FI0e.
Thrown into HouSatonic River From Over. turned Shay She Cares for UucOH. scious HilliardSon Until Bushes on Shore Lends Aid.

New Milford, Conn.,, Feb. 17.-Af1oat on an ice cake in fog and darkness, Miss Anna K. Wilmberg, twenty-tw two years old, the athletic and attractive daughter of Henry S. Wilmberg, a far mer, won a plucky battle for her own life and that of John Hilliardson, a neighbours son, on the Housatonic River, near Cornwall, Monday night.
 With Miss Wilmberg Hilliard dson drove. to a country dance Monday ev- ening, and because of the rain and fog that made travelling difficult they set out for home before midnight. A part Of their route lay along a narrow and winding road that runs close to the bank of the river, and here their horse, a spirited animal, became frightened by the lights and noise of an automO- bile that rushed toward them suddenly from around a turn in the road.
 Blinded for the moment by the glare Of the headlights on the automobile, Hillfa rdson lost control of the horse, which dashed over the low bank of the river, carrying the buggy and it's oc- cupants onto the ice, which, unbroken close to the shore, was a. sWirling mass of cakes further toward nidstrea m. Scenting its own danger, apparently, the horse wheeled about when close to the water and overturned the buggy. Hilliardson and Miss Wilmberg were thrown onto the ice and the young man was stunned.
 Under their weight the ice that sup ported them gave way and the young woman and her companion were. car rted out into the stream. Miss Wilm- berg could have jumped to the firm ice at the moment the cake she was upon broke away, but she realized that to desert her unconscious companion would mean his death and she decided to attempt to save him at the risk of herself.
 The piece of ice that supported the couple remained intact for a journey of nearly quarter of a mile down stream, where it was carried beneath some overhanging bushes that Miss Wilmberg was able to reach and cling to. Supporting her companion with one arm she reached shore by means of the bushes and revived her compan- ion. They found their horse a short distance from the place where the run- away occurred.

HuniIiatind.

Champ Clark frequently visited Washington before his election to the house and thought he was pretty we'll known there. On one occasion, says the Washington Star he came to the capital on business for a client. He was surprised and pleased to meet an old friend and townsman at the hotel MT. Clark had selected for his stay.
 Well, well, if it isn't Brownv' ex- claimed MT. Clark. I'm glad to see you. Is there anything can do for you?"
 Then Mr. Clark took his friend by the arm and marched him to the hotel desk. saying, ''I can do you a good turn, anyhow"
 Clerk" added Mir. Clark when they had reached that functionary. 'this is my friend MT. Brown. want you to treat him right Let him have what ever he wants, and if he gets too ex- travagant and runs out of cash just charge it to me-"
 "Why. yes" said the clerk, 'sI know MT. Brown very well, sir, but who are you?"

shipwreeks and Courts Martial. {

ShipWrecks and Courts Martial.
 The custom of holding courts martial in the British navy after every case of shipwreck has a curious origin. In 1741 the. Wager, one of Commodore Anson's vessels. was wrecked of the coast of Chile, most of the crew being saved. The men and some of the jun- for officers held that they were no longer amenable to discipline because their pay ceased with the wreck, but the captain. whose name was Davy Cheap, differed. treated them as muti- neers and shot one of his midshipmens He was then deposed. and most of the crew made off in three of the boats. Later when it was proposed to proceed against the so called mutineers the law officers of the crown decided that the men had been correct in their view. This discovery led to the framing of section 91 of the articles of war. which provides that in the case of shipwreck, destruction or capture by the enemy ship is held to remain in commission pending inquiry by court martial. :

The Man Who
 Eats We'll
And Enjoys Food Lives Life As He Should And Gets
 The Most From It.

The man who eats is the man who works, and the man who works is the man who wins. Tireless workers de- pend upon a storehouse of vim and vigor. India is noted for it's fasters and it's dreamers, Europe and Amer ica for their eaters and their workers.
 In America we have been doing noth- ing but work this past quarter of a century. That is why our old men say, "In my days no one had dyspep- sia.'' Of course, all men in those days ate and worked, now they work and eat.
 If eating interferes with business, men give up eating. This is good logic for the dollar-getter, but poor wisdom for the man who really wants to live.
 Abuse of anything God given results in punishment and man is 8 pigmy when it comes to cheating his sys- tenn.
 If you take from the system that which is intended should remain, or put into it that which is intended should be kept out, you are cheating yourself, and sooner or later pay the penalty.
 Stuart's Dyspepsit Tablets are con- centrated vegetable and fruit essences which give the system every fluid, stimulant and ingrednent necessary to gain the fullest strength from every thing which goes into the stomach, or to keep from the system everything which should not lay and decay in it.
 If you will eat fast and improperly, if you will drink and eat irregularly and to excess, then give to Nature as you do so enough of the essences she demands to neutralize the bad effects of your habits.
 After meal take a Stuart Dyspep- sia Tablet and the meal won't hurt you or your stomach.
 At a midnight dinner take Stuart tablet and you will sleep well and get up without a breath which is filled with the decay of the midnight meal.
 Fortify your stomach like you do your business. Fortunes when lost can be regained, but the stomach out ragged stays with you to the finish, and YOU know it is there.
 If you want to know what these tab-. lets will do, buy a package from any druggist, price 50 cents. or send us your name and address and we will send you trial package free by mail. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 15O Stuart Building, Marshall, Mich.

A Race With the Sun.


 An English magazine says that if an aerial machine were capable of travel ing at any rate up to 1000 miles an hour a traveller in 1t, starting west ward from London at speed of 600 miles an hour, would arrest the prog ress of time. If he started at 10 a. m., it would always be to him 10 a. m Should be find his intending day mo- notonous he could reverse his direc- tion and get quick succession of short days and nights of some six hours duration, but he could regulate the length by the speed of his machine. Suppose he trave,ed from London one night at 10 o'clock westward at speed of 1000 miles per hour. He would soon experience the sensation of seeing the sun rising in the west where it had set short time before.
