Tramp Amuses EIkS And Goes
 On Easy Street

On the occasion of the recent visit of the Bridgeport Elks to South Nor walk, Harry Quinn and Louis Mu- sante, the Herculean antlers provided an unexpected feature Of entertain ment the sequel of which has just reached the city.
 Quinn and Musante with their GUS. tomary originality hit upon a novel scheme for the progrHm of entertain ment. They knew that the more ma. tural one appears in theatrical work. the more convincing the impersonation of the character he assumes.
 They spied typical hobo. ragged bewhiskered, lean and hungry looking, peering through a bakeshop window. Without word of barley they seized the astonished hobo placed him upon their shoulders and marched him in through the amusement hall to the stage They set him down in the foot lights. The hobo was embarrass The Elks began to laugh They SUD- posed it was one of their fellows <is> guised through the assistance of the atrical make up and costume. and the character was so well shown that they applauded.
 The stranger became more embar- rassed. looked around as if for means of escape and glanced shyly at the audience. He tried to speak but got stage fright. His antics were SO amusing that the big gathering howl, ed.
 In payment for Iffs part in the fes- tivities the Elks provided him with ample refreshments, and gave him some money. With the change he at once sponged up all the booze he could buy in the South Norwalk cafes He fell into the hands of the police and word came in of his plight just before the meeting adjourned.
 The police merely wanted to keep him off the street. they learned. So they took up a collection for the stranger. so substantial, that when he left police headquarters next morn- ing it was with complete new out fit head to foot, clothes, shoes, hat, clean linen and underwear and with a. little change to boot. He told the ser geant as he left police headuuarters that he supposed he was still dream ing and was soon going to wake up with his usual hunger.

DO YOU KNOW THE
 MAGDALEN ISLANDS?
They Are Rarely Visited, Says Cana
 dian Writer.

Out in the centre of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where the ocean waves dash over them for five months of the year so fiercely as to close all
 except by cable, lie the Magdalen Is- lands. Nine out of every ten Cana dians have never even heard of them, and the other one remembers dimly that he encountered the name at school in the list of Canadian islands. Nine out of ten of the islanders them selves have never been farther from heir birthplace than the trips to the fishing grounds, and the tenth has gone no farther than P1ctou, or on a long mbered trip as far as Halifax or Quebec.
 Seventy miles to the southwest lies Prince Edward Island: Cape Breton Is the same distance south east. New foundland's rough coast faces them one hundred miles east. From away to the north the wild waves crash down unopposed from the forbidding shores of Labrador, three thousand miles distant.
 During but five months of the year, and then only twice weeX, Is there any opportunity for the islander tD see the outside world. For the re- mainder the sea runs with consist ent wildness known only to this reg ion, and the hundred miles or more of coast-Jine shows the wrecks that have marked with failure the puny attempts of man to combat the ele- mentS
 In the midst of all this fierceness of Nature live seven thousand French Ac2dians and one thousand English, in a quaintness and Quietness of life that is truly remarkable. And year by year the population increases until even now the land is overcrowded with a people reluctant to obey the demands of Nature and get out into the wider world.
 There are thirteen islands in all nine of which are connected at low tide by treacherous beach, which it is possible to drive over with the guidance of one who knows the quicksands and tides. Fifty three miles from north to south makes an island of respecta ble size. Then, farther north, lies Byron Island, a summer fishing station leased and peopled by a merchant on the main islands. but almost deserted in win ter. Ten miles still farther is the famous Bird Rock, we'll known by reputation to naturalists, watched over only by millions of birds and the ighthouse-keepers and his wife, with two assistants. On this six acres of ty-five feet above the water, aD- preached only in the calmest wealth er and mounted by a bucket worked with a windlass above-on this iso- lated island these four people live from beginning to end of the year. seeing no other human being save the crew of the supply boat on it's two visits a year.-From the July Wide World Magazine

Washington, Nov. 2l.-Bernard N.
Baker Of Baltimore, who attempted to
organize an independent steamship line
to operate through the Panama canal,
told the Senate interstate commerce com
mittee yesterday that financial interests
had refused TO back the proposed lines
because they feared injury to trans
continental railroad securities. Mr.. Bak-
er said il was difficult to prove any con-
certed opposition to independent Panama
line.

roads are doing anything to prevent this
competition" said Senator Cummins.

anything directly contrary TO law" said
Mr.. Baker, "but | have found objection
on their part to putting on any fast
steamship line by way of the canal.
They desire TO control the route them.

The Pacific Mail Steamship company,
controlled by the Southern Pacific rail-

HUNTING SANTA CLAUS
Searched Home with Candle and Pan
of Benzine Exploded; Mother
Hurt.

Chicago, Nov. 2l.--Minna Smith, six
years old, made an Intellectual search for
Santa Claus with lighted candle in her
home in Aurora Sunday, but she sue
ceded in causing a lot of trouble and
incidentally severe injury to herself and
mother. Mrs. Smith told her daughter
that Santa Claus was in the house, but
could not be seen by little girls.
After giving the child final assurance
that Santa Claus would not appear be-
fore Christmas, Mrs, Smith went about
her work. She closed the door of a
room aud proceeded to clean some cloth
ing with benzine. All of this time Min
ma was making search for Santa Claus.
When her mother left her the child found
candle, lighted it and started on a
quiet search Of the premises.
She went into all the hooks and cor
ners of the house and finally was about
to complete the search by walking into
the room where her mother was at work
with the benzine.
There was an explosion, followed by
fire and both Mrs. Smith and her child
were enveloped in the flames. Their
cries attracted Mrs. Darling Hall, ma
tional organizer for the w. G. T. IT,,
who was down stairs. Mrs. Hall rushed
to the rescue of the mother and child
and succeeded in tearing off their burn
ing clothing before either had been seri-
ously burned Both, however, suffered
painful injuries.

A CHANGE IN

WILL BE LESS SECRECY
Admitted Now That War with Germany
Was Avoided by a Very Narrow
Margin-Statement
Postponed.

London, Nov. 2l--British foreign pol
icy may be on the threshold of new
and most important phase.
No statement regarding dealings with
other nations has been awaited with
such great interest as the one Mr.. AS
quith, premier, has promised that Sir
Edward Gray will make.
The certainty, which everyone now. adj
mits, that England was within hairs
breath of war against Germany to sup
mort France in the Moroccan trouble and
the governments apparent consent to
Russia's advance upon Persia have raised
great storm of criticism.
This win take the form of denuncia-
ton of the extreme secrecy with which
the foreign affairs of the empire have
been conducted during the past decade
and more particularly since Sir Edward
GRAY took charge of the foreign office,
Mr.. Asquith disappointed the House
Yesterday afternoon by announcing that
the statement had been postponed until
November 81, but he promised that a
day should be given for debate on the
subject.

A TONIC FOR
The STOMACH
Many People Who Think They
Are Dyspepfics Need Only to
Have Their Digestive
Apparatus Toned Up.

Much Of the dieting and treatment
for stomach trouble is worse than the
disease and often aggravates it.
Tone up the stomach to do its mart
rather than cut down the diet to suit a
weak stomach. Reduced nourishment
means reduced strength for the entire
system including the stomach, To re-
store the weak stomach to strength and
health, it must be supplied with plenty
of pure, red blood, for every act Of
digestion needs healthy blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People meet all the requirements OF a
good tonic for the stomach because they
are an unequalled blood-builder. The
pure, rich blood which they make slim
ulates and increases the flow of the
digestive fluids, removes any frritability
of the stomach, soothes and strengthens
the nerves, and supplies the stomach
with the needed strength.
Mr.. Howard S. Urban, blacksmith.
OF Wrightsyille, York CO., Pa. who was
cured by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
