 When asked why she had never mar ried Rosa Bonheur always answered: Nobody ever fell in love with me. I have never been truly 3oved.'' More than one man. however, really worship- ed her. But she inspired such deep re- spect that no man seems to have dared to reveal his feelings to her. There is a curious example of this fact, taken from the humble walks of life. On yevera1 occasions Rosa Bonheur had done service for a wordngman who throughout his life spent his savings in buying engravings of her principal pictures and photographs of herself. His simple dwelling was a temple to her kindness. He described n.mseH as s'the earthworm in love with q star." The person here referred to- B. A. Bautray of Clermont- Ferrand- tells me that Rosa Bonheur once asked him why he was not married, and he replied by asking her the same ques- ton. Here was her answer: We'll, sir, it is not because am an enemy of marriage, but assure you that I have never had time to consider the subject" "Reminiscences of Rosa Bonheur." ssss

 With a leap sthe animal dashed to- ward Main street. The boy on the seat held on for dear life and the light wagon narrowly missed collision with several teams and cars. When the rig passed the telephone building young Crowley leaped into the rear of the wagon and getting. hold of the reins got partial control of the horse, narrowly avoiding collision with an automobile.
 At Main street and Fairfield ave- nue the animal was running head on into trolley car despite Crowley's efforts and Officer James Walker seized the animal just in time to prevent the shafts being thrust through the windows of a car.
 The young man who was in charge of the rig was extremely grateful to Crowley He said the rig belonged to Mrs. Martin Kelly of North ave nue,

FIFTY FOOT BILL BOARD FALLS ON
 ELEVEN YEARS BOY

In the collapse of a new 50 foot bill board erected on the east side of the harbor, just north of the Strat- ford avenue bridge, this afternoon, half dozen youngsters, playing along the dump, were imperilled, and one of them, buried beneath the board.
 Cries of the lads companions brought a number of passersby from Stratford avenue and Kossuth street, among them Patrolman Ramsey. The wall of II years old Mike Krifta, of 189 Willard street, could be heard from the dark recesses of the cavern ous wreckage. Patrolman Ramsey crawled beneath the board, and res- cued the boy.
 Mike had a number of cuts and bruises on his forehead. He was taken to Hickey Bros. stables, where telephone call was sent to the emergency hospital for the ambu- lance. pr. Krause found the boy had escaped without serious injuries. He patched up Mike at the emergency hospital and sent the youngster home.
 The bill board is one of two brand new displays of the Bridgeport Bill Posting Go. It stood about 20 feet high and 50 feet long. The gust of wind carried it over upon the crowd of youngsters all of whom saw it coming and dashed away. Little Mike was just too late to escape.

starve a Cold.

Nature, as rule, takes the appetite
 away when one is coming down with
 a cold or other infectious disease, and
 nature is wise. Don't coax Mary to. eat when she has cold. Don't allow the neighbors to tempt Johnny with calf's foot jelly or other dainties.
 When suffering from cold the diges tive organs are in no condition to care for food. The digestive juices are al- tered or entirely absent One or two days comparative fast will -ften as- sist in averting severe siese of cold. A more convenient and enjoya .e form of fasting would be to subsist for one or two days upon fruit or fruit juices perhaps, with the addition of a little toast. An exclusive fruit diet has all the practical advantages of complete fasting, while 1t satisfies the appetite and supplies sugar from which the hv-. CT can manufacture glycogen to sus- tain the white blood corpuscIes in their continuous warfare against mi robes.-William s. Sadler in Designer.

SHES
 AT THE IDEA OF
 ADDITIONAL BOOZE
Hasn't It's Full Quota of Sa-
 looms, But Doesn't Want Any More for the Present

With one exception, the Town of Fairfield of all licensed towns in Fair field county has not its full quota Of liquor licenses as allowed by law. one to every five hundreds of inhabitants. The one exception is Westport, where one more license is permissible, ac- cording to it's population. In Fairfield, five more are lawful.
 Because of this fact the citizens of Bridgeport's proudest suburb, boast that they will strive to keep up the good name thus attained and will fight to the bitter end any endeayor to add to the list of thirst quenching sta tions. At the present time there sev- en establishments in the old town, six on the road between Ash Creek and Westport. and one in the Stratfield district.
 Now comes Joseph Lipsitz, who has a saloon in Pembroke street, this city, with an application for new liz cense to sell in Perry's block in Spring street, Fairfield. No sooner an applica- tion, than a big remonstrance to the county Commissioners signed by num- erous well-to-do tax payers of the proud village. The remonstrants claim that the applicant is an unsuitable person and that the proposed loca- tion is an unsuitable place.

BURGLAR ALARM SAVES FARRELL
 FOWL FROM THIEF

Chicken thieves who have been mo- testing residents of the North End, renewed their activities after a rest for a fortnight, appearing about 5 o'clock this morning, under cover of darkness and an exceptionally heavy fog, at the home of Richard J. Far rell, Harmony street.
 Taking warning from the experi- ences of his neighbors with poultry thieves, MT. Farrell has equipped his hen roost with an effective burglar alarm. The sound of the alarm arous- ed him. He flung open window and fired several shots. There was not a sound to be heard.
 Then he examined the hennery and found the lock torn off, and the door open. The fowls were roasting undis- turbed, however, for the thieves had been frightened away before they had an opportunity to seize them. There were 30 hens in the roost.

 Paternaltsm with vengeance is prac- ticed in certain New York groceries It is benevolent paternalism, though.

Giving Him Carte Blanche.

A few years ago John Kendrtck Bangs, the humorist, told number of his Broadway literary confreres that he felt particularly elated over an or der he had just received from Henry W. Savage, the theatrical producer. for the ubretto of musical comedy. The play was produced few months later.
