Sequachee defeated the Whitwell
Sunday School team Friday afternoon
in a 6 inning contest. Whitwell start
ed off with a rush, evidently deter
mined to cinch the game at the start,
and by errors and hits scored almost
at will. However, after the fourth
inning the locals frightened up. tied
the score in fifth. and went ahead in
sixth, when the visitors gave up the
game to catch the train. The feature
Of Sequachee's playing was the bat
ting of W. Martin. Whitwell s. s.
played a good game up to 5th and 9th
innings, when they went to pieces.
The team went to Jasper Saturday
evening, but It's pitchers hadn't the
stuff to hold down the Jasper slug
gers, and it was farce which was
abandoned in 7th inning.

Echo of the Banquet

Says the Berkshire Courier The an- nual spread given by the Canaan Busi- ness Mems Association at Hotel Garfield last Thursday night was a most delight
 full social function and was attended by nearly all the business men of the town and their associates in Canaan progress. It was typical Canaan crowd, imbued with the laudable desire to let the world know that Canaan is glowing spot on the map of Connecticut, from whence emanates an optimism most encournginp to local enterprise and business thrift,
 AS to the quality of the menu served, all that is needful to stamp 1t as the real artlcle deluxe, is to state that it was one of Landlord Bakers best, and that runs the entire gamut of eneomium. The ser- vice was excellent and there was a spon. taneity of wit and enthusiasm in the gathering that fairly scintillated. A
 The News showed its enterprise and appreciation of the occasion by issuing a souvenir fac-simile, which was full of bright sayings and information as to the banquet and Canaan in general, with the menu of the banquet on the back page with the toast list. "# F Col. Norris G. Osborn, the distinguish ed editor of the New Haven Journal Courier, was the central speaker of the evening and was fully np to his standard, established long ago as the ideal after dinner speaker. His hold upon his audi ence was most secure and it's enjoyment of hls delightful personality and original ity of expression was marked. Phil Troup, the younger but none the less progressive editor of the New Haven Union, was present and was listened to with great interest. The bright promise of hls school aud college days has been more than verified in the logical and pleasing manner which these later years are marking with pronounced success his advent in the arena of after dinner speakers, .. O. s. Lake, superintendent of the western division of the N. r. N. H. & Fl. railroad company, and Attorney Frank B. Mum of Winsted John w. Carr of New Haven. trainmaster of the New Haven railroad, were among the guests from out of town. It was an evening that will long be remembered with delight and pleasure by all who took part in it's festivities The dining room was handsomely decorated for the occasion.

Charity Knows no Religion.

The largest bequest ever made to a Catholic work of charity in this diocese, came from Protestant. The earnings of that princely benefcence contributes notably to the support of St. Francis Orphan asylum. Mrs. Munsill, who died here on Tuesday, was equally catholic in her generosity. Her charity recognized no limit of race or creed. She will long be remembered by the hundreds to whom she afforded relief in the hour of need. Her life was a benediction and there is little gratitude among men If her name does not contine to be pronounced with thanksgiving and with the fervent wish that she may have entered upon her re- ward. The infants home which is soon to rise just beyond the limits of this city will open it's doors to all. There will be no creed test. Under it's roof the help less and the erring will find shelter and consolation. The charity which stops to inquire, to investigate and discriminate may possibly be worthy of the name which it bears. but it is not worthy of the disciples of Him who knew no dis tinction of Jew or Gentle and who died to bring salvation to all men. - Catholic Transcript. y

What the Other Fellows Say

From the price of the two commodities one would be inclined to believe that the hen is mightier than the COW, but from the opinion of the Connecticut Dairy mems association, and the era of the 5 900 COW, it is evident that the hen has still big task before it, notwithstanding the fact the price of a dozen eggs has reached higher mark than that of q pound of butter Waterbury Republi- can.
 On the night of January 3d, Ralph Jardine, r, of Worcester borrowed a New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road locomotive for half an hour. He will now spend six years in the Mass achusetts Reformatory in order that he may reflect upon his original way of having "sport. ."-Hartford Post.
 The fact that Lorimer was a poor boy and good to his mother makes it all the more surprising he was so abusive of his own character.-Norwic Bulletin.
 The Hon. Woodrow Wilson's chances of obtaining the office of President of the United States are as good and no better than his chances of again becoming pres ident of Princeton.-Hartford Times.
 Most amateurs who have travelled in an iceboat in a, winter gale think that is exciting enough without artificial propulsion. But Rochester man put an aeroplane engine and propeller into his. He attained speed of eight miles in four minutes He was alive at last accounts, but that was yesterday New Haven Register
 The experiences of both these men Morse and Walsh have been harrow ing enough. Their fate is lesson which is not likely to be lost upon men placed in the positions of trust which they once held. Justice has been completely vindi- cated and none should quarrel with President Taft for doing a simple act of mercy that no person with a heart or red blood in his veins could withhold in a similar case.-New Haven Union.
 As we draw nearer the republican nominating convention we begin to learn more specifically just what the failings of President Taft are which make it, as alleged in some quarters, inadvisable to let him run again. Some of them are not, of course, to be taken seriously and others are to be easily traced to a personal feeling on the part of the objector. But still others are really diverting, if not thrilling Haven Journal al-Courier..

THE OFFICERS PICKLE
Incident of the Old Gin'raI Trainin'
 Days in Canaan.

Incident of the Old Gin'raI Trainin'
 Days in Canaan.
 The old-time state militia-the home guard organized and maintained for Gre polling armed invasion"-with its com pany drills and regimental "gin'ral train in's," has been referred to repeatedly in this column, as some old resident has re- called incidents connected with that for midable and war-like body, from either personal recollection or the recalling of incidents related by old timers long since passed away.
 None of the anecdotes related thus far, however, has had reference to a certain general training held in Canaan, long be- fore the war, in which one of the chief officers commanding-name and pedigree not recalled by the narrator-came to grief, or at least to humiliation, in full view of the whole regiment.
 doe" Adam supplies the general out line of the incident, from a vague recol- lection of it, as related by his father, the late Dr. George Adam. As "Joe" recalls the story, the maneuvers of the regiment had reached the stage where the entire body was drawn up in one formidable line in single file, and standing at "atten- tion-eyes right" or something of the kind, when the big-wig officer referred to-it may have been the colonel in com mand, or leftenant, or maybe a rear admiral, or something-who acted as the reviewing officer, started to ride along down in front of the line on his prancing war-horse, to inspect the troops and be admired of them.
 The prancing war-horse for some req son didn't take kindly to the melody of the flies and drums that provided the accompaniment of the. "review"- the whole scene and environment were so different from the plough-ield and oat- lot, that Dobbin didn't quite know what to make of it all, and became, in a sense, panic-strickenf He took the bits in his teeth and literally ran away with his glorious rider, who. like the immortal John Gilpin, could do nothing but let the animal go, and hang on, himself, as best he could. The frantic horse sprang toward the war.like line, spreading con- sternation and disorder through the ranks-and the upshot of it all was, the wild ride of the officer ended at a stone wall, far afield, where he was unceremo- niously unhorsed and rolled up against an apple-tree as the animal vaulted the fence and ran home, riderless, to its own stable, mile away.
 Possibly some old-timer may be able to supply further detail regarding this adventure, and perhaps give the name of the officer. If so, The News would be glad to supplement this reminiscence with its sequel.

 Makes our feet and fingers glow. February brings the rain, Thaws the frozen lake again.
 March brings breezes loud and shrill, Stirs the dancing daffodil.
 April brings the primrose sweet, Scatters daisies at our feet. May brings focks of pretty lambs, Skipping by their fleecy dams. June brings tulips. lilies, roses, Fills the children s hands with posies Hot July brings cooling showers. Apricots and gillyhowers.
 August trings the sheaves of corn, , Then the harvest home is borne. Warm September brings the fruit, Sportsmen then begin to shoot. Fresh October brings the pheasant. Then to gather nuts is pleasant. Dull November brings the blast, Then the leaves are whirling fast. Chill December brings the sleet, / Blazing fires and Christmas treat.

State Bank Commissioner Lippitt's criticism of the Connecticut system of savings bank examination as slipshod and inefficient, is especially timely while the revelations ill the Windsor Locks bank shortage case are occupying the the public mind. <
 Mr. Lippitt declares plainly and point edly that the popular belief that the ex- aminers make thorough audit of the banks is mot true," and he says of a recently detected case of bank footing that it would have been discovered long ago if the system of bank examination had been efficient,

WORRY
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Did worry ever help you Did it ever lift the load Did it remove the boulders That you found along the road I'm sure you found it adding To all your weight of care, And binding you to beauties That are scattered everywhere. It seems to look for trouble From dawn of day till close And it saps all of the perfume From the very sweetest rose It paints clouds all the blacker And it hides each radiant hue That wrinkles in the sunbeams Waiting to shine on you. There's nothing worth the effort It makes all life seem loss It frightens you with bridges Der which you never cross. So banish useless worry And rejoice to be alive You'll find, if hearts keep singing, Worry cannot long survive. It must give way to gladness As the dew before the sun So drive away your worry And the victory Is won.
