Loves Crime.


George was a manly fellow, yet, sur
prising as it may seem, he was guilty
of a grave charge, a criminal offense-
theft, for had he not many times,
stolen kisses from his fair sweet
heart?
Maude, one of the most lovable of
girls, was equally guilty as an acces-
sorry: she received the stolen property.
Each seemed to have perfect conf
dence in the other, however, and when
sentence was pronounced by a prop
erly qualified official, they decided to
serve their time together.
They remained loyal to the end,
neither making any effort to have
their sentence abrogated or shortened,
but during the course of their long
term together several small offenses

CITY LEAGUE OF FOOTBALL CLUBS
 IS PLANNED HERE

If the plans of it's inceptors are to be carried out Bridgeport will see league football here this season. Already the gridiron warriors are talking of citiy association, while more definite plans will be formulated tomorrow evening at a meeting to be held at the pool rooms of Elm Donnelly, SA5 East Main Street near East Washington Avenue. It is proposed that if the lea que is to be started that the schedule will lbe arranged so as to start the ball rolling on Sunday iOct. 23.
 At the present time it is proposed that the league will include four clubs, the South Ends, Thunderbolts, Berk- shires and either the Lincolns or Brooksides. However, if it can be ar ranged to gather more strong clubs an effort will be made to bring the league roster up to a half a dozen teams.
 Managers Tad Dunnigan of the ThunderboIts, Frank O'Brien of the South Ends, Elm Donnelly of the Brooksides and 'Ducky" Holmes of the Brooksides have talked over the que this year will be the right thing. All of those boys are old hands at the game and realize that it is a waste of money energy and time to have games with out of town clubs. It has been proven that there is no money in bringing clubs to this city on Sun days, the only day on which the boys can really play. If there are to be any returns from the games the boys be- 1ieve that it is no more than right that it be kept here inI Bridgdeport.

Whx tha Judae Paid.

A physician, says a medical Journal That vouches for the truth of the story, was once summoned in haste to attend the child of a family that lived in two rooms in the heart of large American city-not New York. The child had been seized suddenly and seriously and just at election time. The mother was in despair, and when the doubt fuI prognosis was given she broke into waiIing and violent self condem- nation for some horrible sin of the family to which she sa6d the child s illness was due-a direct punishment for their crime. She would g0 and curse the magistrate for it all, her husband should resign from "the force" and such evil ways should be renounced forever.
 Curious to know how the magistrate could be held responsible for the child's illness, the doctor finally se- cured the confession that the crime of the poor conscience stricken woman consisted in allowing the names of many fraudulent voters to be regis tered as residing in her house, in swearing to the lie, etc. The magis- trate also had demanded this of all the neighbors in return for indescrib- able political favOrs.
 The child recovered, and the magis- trate paid the physicians bill.

The department OF horticulture OF

in the experiment, the plants being
grown in boxes OF sand placed -

of making the sap more dense. and
thus making ii less apt to freeze. i

A third set of plants was treated
with ice which was packed in small
pieces around the stem Of each plant
After the plants have been treated in
