All Druggists Licenses went
Out On May %.

Saturday the new prohibitory
law went into effect and by it the
permits of every druggist selling
LIQUOR was revoked. The law is
more sweeping than this, as it
absolutely prohibits the sale of
malt tonics and two percent. y
There has always been a ques-
ton of whether or not two per-
cent came under the old prohib-
itory amendment and the differ
ent laws. But when the new law
was drawn by the legislature it
made new definition of liquors
which could not be sold. 1t
includes all vlnouS. maltS and
liquors. Two percent and the
malt extracts are made from
malt and if they contain the
least alcohol the vender may be
prosecuted for violating the
prohibitory law. Hard cider
comes under the head of fer
mented liquors and it is also pro-
hibited from being sold in Kan
sas. Cider must be absolutely
unfermented not to come under
the prohibition of the new law

Too Late!


And so you have come back to
me,
Since time at last has set you
free.
And offered me again the heart
Whose earthly hope was found in
thee.
And so you come to me once
more,
And say the old loves growing,
yet
You've tried through all these
dreary years
You've tried though vainly to
forget.
Come close and let me see your
face,
Your chestnut hair is touched
with snow,
But yet is it the same dear face
1 loved so fondly years ago,
The same that on that summer
day.
Oh happy hour of trusting
faith,
Oh, well, it is all over now.
No, no, / cannot take your hand,
God never gives US back our
youth.
The faith and love you question:
ed them
Was given to you in perfect
truth;
A woman's ways a woman's
tongue,
Sent doubt and anguish to your
breast,
You left me and my heart is
dead,
No voice can ere distrub it's rest
Forgive, cannot say the word;
| You never meant to do me
God sent this anguish to my
heart
To help me to be brave and
strong,
For well think love you yet
AS friend to friend. God bless
you dear!
And lead you through the dark
ened ways
To where the skies are always

Nobody can deny that a whole
some interest in the affairs of
other people is desirable and be-
coming but what shall we say of
a person who is so filed with
idle curiosity that he makes him
self a nuisance? Plain people
call this sticking" your nose
in other peoples business, and
it hits the case exactly. There
is not so much harm in inquiSit-
iveness itself, but it is generally
known that the prying person
does not NEEDLE with affairs
with which he has no concern
solely for his own satisfaction.
He is never satisfied to keep the
knowledge he has gained to him
self, but as soon as he can find a
listener he tells all he has dis
covered and usually considerable
more. If he takes time and
trouble to find out what happen
ed at your house this morning,
be sure the neighborhood will
have the whole story, with var
iations, long before night.
Meddlesomeness is one of the
world greatest vices. We dare
say it is the cause of Vulnerable
broken friendships and ruined
homes. We may even go further
than that and cite numerous
tragedies from this cause.
There is probably not a person
of any experience at all who can
not recall instances of trouble,
little or big, from this source
The person who takes a decent
interest in the affairs of his
friends, who is glad when they
are prosperous and grieved
} when they are unfortunate and
whose friendship respect the
privacy of their daily lives, never
, thinks of meddling He is the
, person who insists on respect Oh
his own privacy. He knows how
he would feel himself if someone
should come poking into his
affairs. He understands that
there are things in every per
sons life which should not be
come public property. There
was time when every thing or
earth was held in common, but
the home instinct was developed
very early and men began te
have interests apart. The first
intruders on privacy were hit
over the head with club, THEN
meddlesomess ending with THEN
first offense. We can't do that
now, though we may feel like it
To know that the objects of un
asked solicitude may have the
same feeling as their ancestors
ought to have deterring effect on
the inquisitive, but from the
army of them constantly in evi-
dence it is evident the race is
thick skinned and concerned
only its most pleasing pursuit.
OF course there is but one honor
able course. Don't be inquisitive
in things which should not and
do not concern you, meddling
with another's affairs cannot
possibly do good to either, of
you, and is sure to do harm,
perhaps in exceedingly large
degree. Remember this the
next time you are tempted to
poke your nose in" where it is
not wanted-Stolen.

CRACK ATHLETES
 AT STAMFORD MEET
 ON LABOR DAY

The Alpha Club of Stamford is to hold a big athletic meet at Roton Point on Labor Day. A. c. Gilbert, the peerless Yale University and Olympic games man, is on scratch in the pole-vault, and will try for a new worlds record and the man who wins the high jump will have to do around six feet.
 The club has been fortunate in se- curing a large entry list with some of the classiest men in competition among the entries. All told there are about 130 entries, which is one of the largest ever made for a set of games hereabouts. There are stars in every event.
 Twenty-seven sprinters are entered for the 100 yards with Roy Dorland of the Pastime A. c. back-mark man.
 The relay race will mark the reap pearance of Paul H. Pilgrim, of the New York A. C., winner of the 400 me- ters and 800 meter event in the Athens Olympic games 1906. He is to run on the New York A. c. team which is on scratch. Pilgrim trimmed Lieut.. Halswelle, the great English runner who figured in the 400 meters fiasco at the London Olympics last year.
 The games begin with a modified" Marathon-a road race from Stamford to Roton Point by way of Norwalk, the last mile to be run on the track at the Point. The runners start at 1 p. m at the Town Hall, Stamford, and follow the Post Road to Norwalk Ar mory and go thence through Norwalk to the Oval. Among the entries for PastiTne A. C., who finished second in the last Boston Marathon and has been about the most successful anna teur MarathOner of the past year.

Between Sept. and il the course of the Chicago Golf Club at Wheaton, H., will be the scene of the National As sociation's championship contests. It will be the third time that the cham Iionship games have been played on the Wheaton course, the first being in 1897. On Sept, the entire field will take part in a. qualifying round of eighteen holes, the lowest sixty-four scores to qualify. The next day the sixty-four qualified entrants will play another round of eighteen holes, the thirty-two players having the best scores qualifying for the subsequent

match play rounds. The meeting will call out the greatest array of experts ever assembled on a. western course. The knowing ones of the game declare that Travis Travers and Herreschoff are to be reckoned with. Others re- garded as strong championship prob abilities are W. T. West, John Ander- son, John M. Ward, T. M. Clafin, H. R. Johnstone and P. w. Whittemore. The United States amateur champion ship has been played since 1895, the results having been as follows:

 GAMES MONDAY

 The only senni- professional contest in town on Monday morning is sched- uled for Yost Field at 10:3O o'clock when the Union Typewriter Co. team and the Milfords meet. This will be the second time this season that these two clubs have faced each other. the first in Milford before the start of the Industrial league season. the Yosts going down to defeat 4 to ?. The members of the Milford team are all well known to the fans of this city, having at various times played with local clubs. They have a crack pitch CT in Ernie Wade. who formerly twirl- ed f6r Bridgeport, and their catcher will be Ed. Heating, of the No. 2 Crane team. On first there will be "Dasher'' Kelley, whose name is a by-word in the home of every fan. Who does not know Downs at second and Frank Lalley at third. Then around short stop, Baker of the West Ends will cavort, while the outfield will be looked after by that trio of ground coverers and sluggers, Cairns, Rose and Patterson. White and Will son will be the Yost battery.
 In the afternoon both clubs will meet in Milford with the same teams ex- cept in pitchers. .Milfords will use Ed Da.rgan, while the Yosts will trot out Amos Johnson. This will pit two old team mates against each other, both Dargan and Johnson pitching for the old St. Peters which won the City League championship a few years back. The St. Peters finally branch ed into the West Ends.

INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE

Don't for the life of you neglect to take in the two games scheduled for Monday afternoon, Labor Day, at Newfield. It's then that the Brassies and Crane No. 2 get together and the Singers and the Warmers. The mere mention that Crane No. 2 and the Bridgeport Brass teams are to play will bring out the crowds in droves. Both have been going along unchecked for over q month. especially the Brass team, which has won five straight con- tests and might possibly make the sixth this afternoon. From all ap- pearances these are the two clubs that will finish first and second. so leave home the fireworks, as these boys will furnish them. And not forgetting the opener. More crash with the Singers and Warmers fighting it out. It's a big drawing card, and 15 cents does the admittance act for both games.
 Down on Crane Field, Crane No. i with Ben Stewart at the helm, and U. M. C.'s will mix it up. On the face of things. Crane No. 1 ought to win the contest, but with Jack Coffey do- ing stunts in the box there'lI be no telling as to who will bring home the bacon.
 Holmes & Edwards and American 6 British will meet up at St. Joseph's Field. The successors of the Yosts have been going good, having two crack pitchers in Dart and Keating. With either of these they ought to make trouble for the Gunmakers
