ron NEWSPAPER READERS,
Postal Department New Ruling Gone
Into Effect.

The new ruling for the newspa-
pers has gone into effect in the post
office department and its going to
be a good thing for subscribers to
papers and magazines as well as the
publishers. Hereafter when a per-
son wishes a paper discontinued he
notifies the postmaster, who In turn
notifies the publisher. II the paper
|ts still continued they are wrapped
up in a pink wrapper. a stamp Is
attached and they are sent back
to the newspaper man and he Is
compelled to take the name from
the list or pay a cent for the paper
each week. This will protect the
newspaper man as a person cannot
claim the paper was sent after he
ordered 1t stopped. After this when
a postal official is told to stop a
paper 1t will be stopped at once.
For some time the authorities and
newspaper men have been at work
on a scheme whereby the subscribe
er as well as the publisher would be
protected and It has no doubt been
solved with the new regulation. II
you do not wish . paper notify the
postmaster and you will have no
trouble In getting 1t stopped.

DICKINSON ALFALFA GOES
no MANY EASTERN MARKETS

8. A. Cooper deserves much credit
for awakening MANY farmers Of this
county to the possibilities of alfalfa
shipping.
Much alfalfa Is raised in this sec
tioa Of the country but little has
ever been shipped, mainly, because
eastern markets will not accept it

DAUAA v 14OpO EAAy SAhAABs
1t is Just as we'll that Abilene did
not warm up to the e. G. Lewis
scheme Of building a club house in
exchange for magazine subscriptions.
Manhattan bit and the Mercury says:
rAll these Lewis enterprises have
gone into bankruptcy proceedings
and as they are mortgaged heavily
1t seems more than probable that
at a forced sale only sufficient mon
ey will be raised to pay off the Sc
cured claims and that the great mass
Of creditors will have nothing to
show for their money. The Mercury
does not pretend to pass Judgment
upon these matters, but they are Of
decided local interest to many peo-
pie and 1t may interest them to know
what the government has to charge
against Lewis. There seems to be
an intimation that all the property
Of the league is pledged for this
$500. 900 debt spoken of. 1t might
be we'll for the local chapter to
discover whether or not the title
to their club house is SO pledged.
There seems to be a good deal Of
fog around these enterprises that
should be cleared away"

New Britain, July 7-The Aviators haven't yet forgotten how to wield the stick and put it all over Bridge Field by to 3. The second inning was the Waterloo for the visitors, when five runs were made off Upham's delivery. Upham stuck in the game to the end and for the rest of the afr ternoon kept down the score.
 Parker, who opened for New Bri- tain had his small finger injured in the fourth and Brown took his place. Parker was trying to stop a ground CT driven by ,Upham when the injury occurred
 Waterman showed that he had come back by making three hits in the first three times at bat. Kauff pick ed a pretty fly from Ryan with one hand in the fourth, after a long run, and the play brought applause. The players put ginger into the game con- sidering the heat. but the fans did not show as brave a front, for many of them stayed away on account of the weather.
 The occupants of the bIeachers were invited to places on the covered stand by Manager O'Neil, and most of them took advantage of the opportunity to get away from the sun.

Tho shakespesr.an sonnet..

There are many excellent reasons for thinking that Shakespeare did not write all of the sonnets that have come down to us associated with his name. It is a fact that he never published them, never claimed their authorship, never acknowledged them, and never, so far as can be ascertained, gave his consent or authority to have them published in his name. Some of the sonnets imply in their author certain physical defects, pecuniary embarrass- ments and other things which could not have applied to Shakespeare, but which might very well have fitted MarlOwe, or William Herbert, or Henry Wriothesley, or any one of a half dozen other young men in Shake speare's circle. It is as good as settled that several, if not many. of the son. nets were written by other hands than those of the author of Hamlet" and "King Lear," though, of course, the task of naming the real authors is an impossible one.-New York American.

 "A peculiar incident happened at the crowning of William the Conqueror. After the coronation oath, in which the new monarch promised to protect the church and to execute Judgment and mercy, the archbishop put the question to the assembled crowd, "Will ye have this prince to be your kingy' ~ A clamorous response of assent star tied the Norman garrison. They be- neved the English had revolted and took up their swords and torches. They set fire to the house, the flames spread, and these was general alarm. The English, hearing of the plunder, rushed out of church. The bishops and clergy who remained were in such confusion that they could hardly go through with the act of crowning. William heard the tumult, but could not conjecture the cause and sat trem- bling at the, foot of the altar. No great mischief was done by the fire, but the occurrence laid the foundation of long enmity between the English and Normans.

 The Whiting Go. team has not withdrawn from the Industrial league and will not, so it is announced, until the league has secured another club to take its place.

The team was willing to quit last week but was prevailed up- on to play with the result that they trimmed the league leaders, the Crane No. team, 5-4. Crane No. ? along, as they need every game now. Last evening the Industrial league directors were to have met, but only three showed up, and the meeting was declared off. Secretary Fred Wetstine, Manager Pat Noonan of the " @1 csuu NdHdS Dllly of the Locos were the only moguls present.
 The scrap of all scraps will be Waged tomorrow at Crane Field when the Crane No. 2 team and the Locos will fight for the leadership of the Industrial league. Both clubs are now tied for the honors. The Crane Mo- 2 outfit has been in the lead since the start of the season, but the Locos by constant plugging and strengthen- ing their club have forged to the top, from which position they are not likely to be busted. t-
 The Factory league directors will meet this evening and among other things will discuss a protest from the Auto. Mach. Co. Two weeks ago the Auto. Mach. Go. were scheduled 70 play the A. T. & S. Go. The latter club then disbanding ,an official noti- fled the Auto. Mach Go. management that the game was off. On the day in question, the scorer and umpire was on hand for the contest, but none of the representative of either club. The Auto. Mach Co. want the game, though they did not show up the claim that unless they were notified they would have been on hand. They at all times were willing to carry out their part of the schedule. -

 There is practically no chance for the local team to get Mcdonald back, as everything had been left to MT. Pace as president of the corporation. With Finn at the head of the club however, MT. Prince is confident that the man who brought a pennant to Waterbury last season will be able to produce wonders.
 There is no use denying the fact that there is probably nobody so cap- able Gf reviving interest here as Finn The fans have confidence in him and so have the players. A reply from the Little Rock man is expected in a short time.

San Francisco, July 7.-As to a fight between Ad Wolgast and Packey Mcfarland, Manager Jones says Mc- Farland nor any other lightweight. outside of Freddie Welsh, can get a match before November.
 We will let Mcfarland come into the ring weighing 133 pounds three hours before the match" he said. That is the best we can do. I don't know whether Mcfarland can make that weight, but we are willing to give him a reasonable chance"
 It is up to Freddie Welsh whether the proposed Wolgast-Welsh match the world takes place in September. Tom Jones has deposited S9,000, making good the champions end of a $10,000 side bet, for which Vol gast alread- had $1,OO0 on deposit. This money will remain up until July 10. If the money is covered Wolgast will go into the mountains to recu- perate. If it is not covered Wolgast says he will drop Welsh.

Smokv AehiIj.

One of the smokiest places on earth is undoubtedly Achill, off the coast of Mayo, Ireland A smoky atmosphere is not an unknown thing in any Irish cabin, but in Achill the greater the smoke the higher the satisfaction of the natives, for there smoke means potatoes, and potatoes mean food. It is to one of the methods of procuring soot that the islander owes the smoky condition of his cabin. Soot he must have or the potatoes will not grow. In the titled fields he erects little huts, called ''scrawhogues," formed by "scraws," or sods, of heather from the mountains. Within these huts he keeps fire of peat burning for six weeks or two months, at the end of which period the scraws are, from their continual impregnation with smoke, transformed into soot. Turf or peat is abundant on the island, and the large fires cost nothing.-Harper' Weekly.
