The Real Story.

Anciently there lived certain man by the name of George, who was much pestered by dragon.
 The dragons colors were never twice alike, and by that the creature got on Georges nerves in particu. lar manner.
 At length George fell to thinking, knd the very next time he was asked what he would have he replied:
 Never again."
 Moreover, he stuck to it
 ''St. George!" sniffed his booL. com. panions ironically.
 But posterity sroke of him without irony, remembering only that he had. by the exercise of a superb courage. slain the dragon

Gentry Brothers
 Bring New Features
Many European Artists of Unusual NGte Are on Roster of Favoritc
 Sh0Ws.a

While Gentry Brothers Shows, which will visit this city Tuesday, October :. are not new in this community, they bring with them many new things to America this season. Among these features are many trained ami malls, but first of all is the list of European novelty acts.~
 During the winter the agents of Gentry Brothers made a very careful and thorough canvass of Europe ga thering together the most nOVel fea- lures possible for Americas most most closely censored shows. In France the agent secured BouchaTd and Blanchard, the greatest gmynasts that ever claimed the home of Ma poleon as their own.
 For many seasons this troupe of performers remained in the old cOun- try, consistently refusing to come to America When man has something to sell and the other fellow wants it. then the seller is sooner or later i tempted by the fancy price offered for his ware. This was the case with these performers They put as they thought, prohibitive price on their srvices, but when the figure was agreed to by Gentry Brothers the 1 lFrenchmen decided they would accept the alternative and come to America for one season, at least.
 When the contract for an American tour was closed Marcell and Lennett another French company decided tc visit America In this way Gentry Brothers Shows annexed the services of the International Coiques," a clever set of tumblers, who also have i long hesitated to leave their native land.
 In Germany at the time these con. tracts were closed was Mademe He. Ioise, whose act was the talk of Cor tinental Europe. She is the world { greatest woman horse trainer Tht horses she used Eefore royalty aT' said to be the finest in the world ] Madame Heloise through the efforts of all American eounsel accepted contract to appear in America. Thl season she is one of the especial flea tures with Gentry Brothers Shows.
 Through Madame Heloise the Ce vene Trio, who, three years ago start
 jed the. medical and dental worlds b.
 acts of daring, were engaged. Thl
 comDary of performers are accustam
 ed to dangling in the air while sus
 pended by their teeth. Time Wa
 when no medical man would adm
 that the human being could accom-
 plish such a thing, but the Ceven
 trio have disproven the theories ( the scientific world.

A meeting of the representatives or the Mills league was held in the f, M. c. A.. Norwich. this week, for the purpose of considering the baseball prospects for the coming season.
 Representatives present were Eu- gene Lambert, Fred Smith and J. B. Benoit of TaftvilIe, Edward Stahi- more and Daniel Caplet of Occum, Mir. Danahy of Baltic Athletic club, Mir. Love and MT. Dundeld of the Baltic Social club.
 MT. Benoit of Taftvine called the meeting to order. MT. Dunfield was elected secretary. MT. Pease sug- gested that the league organize itself in such manner and under such rules as will make for better sports manship and in order to do this he suggested that the various teams fix rules whereby no team may hire play CTS or engage non-local men, and to keep the game strictly amateur.
 While there were laws of the league last season many of the teams did not live up to them and the different teams were known to engage profes- SiOnals for decisive games. These vio- lattOns of the rules cannot fail 10 bring dissatisfaction among the various teams and add little credit to those teams practicing them.
 The secretary was instructed to send out invitations to the various teams not represented which had heretofore belonged and to procure a thoroughly representative body to a meeting to be held on the evening of Saturday, April 6, at the I. M. c. 4.
 At that time the officers will be elected and rules drawn up to govern the league for the coming season.
 It was thought to have an eight team league, and Yantic Greenevihe, U. $. Finishing Co.,, Jewett City and the Emeralds of Willimantic are re- Quested to send representatives to the next meeting.
 No definite work was done on ac- count of the fact that all the teams were not represented.
 The question of paying umpires was discussed and it was thought that some definite rule be made whereby the umpires be secured and paid. The Baltic Social club and the Greeneville A, c. stil1 owe $3 each to MT. BenOit for umpiTing last year, it was stated at the meeting.

But lnIudicious Hartford Mothsr cesid
 Not Defy Judge,

It isn't always that the effcrts of teachers in the public schools arc Rp- preciated, and just at this time there is a teacher in the Gravel Hill school. one Of he branches of the Northwest district, that knows that this is true. The children of one of the families in the district had not been attending school as regularly as the teacher thought they should, and she wrote the parents 0 letter. The teacher got a reply from the mother that was filled with ginger. The mother had evidently not heard Of the law which requires the attendance children at school and one day last week the mother and the father of the children were before the tudge of the police court in a chambers session, when they were told that the law had some thing to sey about the matter and that tho parent were not the sole governing factors The father and mother extended apologies in proftl- sion. The children have since then been attending school regularly. The letter which got the father and moth CT into court was as follows:
 Mrs. S------
 am very sorry that all the trouble you went to regarding the children has not made matters any better. because shall not send them to school until see fit. have never made 1t a rule to allow teachers or truant officers or any one else for that matter to man age my matters for me I am thor oughly competent of taking care ot my affairs and don't require any aS- sistance from anyone. I am the judge regarding them, not you, and 1 don't intend to explain all my business to you or anyone else. have my reasons for keeping them home, and your way of dealing with me will never amount to a row of pins. Now l may not send them up there at an. but whenever send them. I will send them when I get ready.
