What Happened Thirty Years Ago.
When Shirley came across the lawn
at Rosewood, Major Montague Bristow
sat under the arbor talking to her
mother.
Tho major was massive-framed,
with q strong jaw and a rubicund
complexion-the sort that might be
| supposed to have attained the utmost
benefit to be conferred by a consist
/ ent indulgence In mint-juleps. His
/ blue eyes were piercing and arched
/ with brows like sable rainbows, at
variance with his heavy iron-gray hair
! and imperial. His head was leonine
/ and he looked like king who has
, humbled his enemy. 1t may be added
| that his linen was fine and immacu-
late, his black string-tie precisely tied
and pair Of gold-rimmed eyeglasses
swung by fiat black cord against his
white waistcoat,

mint-julep."
What has he been doing?" asked
the other, her brows wrinkling in q
delightful way she had.
He has reminded me that I'm grow
ing old"
Shirley looked at the major skep-
tically, for his chivalry was un-
doubted. During long career in law
and legislature 1t had been said of
him that he could neither speak on
the tariff question nor defend a man
for murder. without first paying q
tribute to "the women Of the South,

Mrs. Dandridge's face softened tol

They let their horses out for a

suddenly at a munled Shrek from Bet

thrust through the twist Of grass. "Oh,
pup Of wonders!" he exclaimed.
Where did you get that rose?"
Chum sat up and wagged his tail, for
his masters tone, instead Of ridicule,
held dawning delight. Perhaps the
thing had not been intended as dis.

With the first sight OF the decora-
ton Valiant had had sudden memory
of splotch Of vivid red against the
belted gray-blue Of q gown He
grinned appreciatively. "And warned
her." he chuckled. Told her not to be
afraid" He busted the blossom pains

held it to his face-a live brilliant
thing, breathing musk -odors Of the
mid-moon of paradise.
A long time he sat, while the dog

up and barked in earnest.
Turning his head, his master saw ap-
preaching dilapidated hack with
side lanterns like great goggles and
decrepit and palsied curtains. 1t was
drawn by lean mustard-tinted mule,
and on it's front sat colored man Of
uncertain age, whose hunched verte-
brae and outwardcrooked arms gave
him n curious expression Of replete
and bulbous inquiry. Abreast OF the
car he removed a moth-eaten cap.
'Evenin', suh," he said,--"evenin',

"Howdy do" returned the other
amiably.
"Ah reck'n yo'-ll done had er breck-

almost stupefaction spread over the
others face, like oil over pool.

The Academy will be represented in the track meet that the Rulkeley High school Is going to hold in the Armory at New London Wednesday, March 25. This meet is not strictly between the two schools, for some of the events are open to outsiders.
 Harry Silversweig has been appoint ed Academy captain and he has is- sued 8 call for candidates to which about dozen have responded Thursday afternoon In the Y. NJ. C. A. gym different events were tried by the first pick of the proposed team which are as follows: Silversweig (captain), Hill, Goldstein, Grove, BT1ckly. Beebe. Stevens and Gregson
 This track event is not a new idea for last year the school was represent ed at like meet but owing to tie lack of team work failed to make good showing. The squad now out for the team has several good sprint CTS and are exceptionally strong in the shot-put- The school at one time turned out fairly good track teams and men. Dr. John A. Rockwell, a grad uate of the school about 20 years ago was on the track team and on going to college later figured very prominently In track athletics there. He won the meet.
 Quite 8 number of the alumni of the Scnool want to see other sports es- tabiished in the school besides base ball and football.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
ALMOST A DEADLOCK.
Leading Shares Show No Important
 Variations.

New York. March 9-Epeeulation approached deadlock today among the stocks whose movements usually determine the character Of the market The leading shares showed no impor- tant variations throughout the session and the most that could be said was that there was a consistently good un- dertone. Opportunities for trading in these shares were so limited that in tereet was diverted to the specialties, among which fluctuations were wider. The tobacco stocks, fertilizers and oil shares advanced sharply, but the movement was by no means uniform. Express stocks and various other less active securities, including some of the low priced railroad shares, were weak.
 The passing influences of the day for the most part were of an upfavorable nature and the resistance of the list to their force supported the opinion ire quently expressed by traders recently that the market had reached a sold out condition. Filing of the anti suit against Iehigh Valley after the close yesterday was without effect on the anthracite group. Lehigh Valley, in fact, was strongest of the active stocks, being bid up 8. point in the first hour. The governments action apparently had been discounted in the late decline yesterday and covering of shorts put out at that time was re- sponsible for the strength shown to- day. In the outside market Lehigh Valley coal sales was exceptionally weak. Liquidation in Rock Island se- curities was resumed and new low prices were made for the collateral bonds and both issues of stock with out disturbing the general market. In dusrrials were indifferent to depressing reports from the steel trade, which told of declining business, and, in some in stances, contraction of operations.
 In the bond market movements were irregular. Rock Island collaterals re- covered after reaching S7. Selling of these bonds was due to fears of a de- fault in the May interest payment. the usual March dividend not having teen declared thus far on the stock under lying these bonds. Total sales of bonds. par value, s2.720,0o0.
 United States twos declined 5-S to 9S on call but were quoted later at es 12 bid.

CHANGE LIKES HOLDEN.
New Londoner is Playing a Great
 Game-Fielos His Position We'll.

Manager Chance of the Tanks is still experimenting with his outfield and up to the present time he is not certain as to who will be who in the outer pasture.
 It was thought that when the club started to work at Houston that Walsh, Channell and Gilhooly would have the situation has changed since the New Workers got to work at the training camp.
 Bill Holden is the man who has up- set the calculations of the New York manager. He has not intimated as to whether Holden will be a regular or not, but he wants to get a good look at the player from New London before he makes up the list of regular men who will chase the fly balls.
 Holden up to the present time has shown that he can handle the position well :n the fielding end In fact, there is not a man on the club who can go back after a ball any better than Holden. As for hitting, he is holding his own. His only weakness seems to be in sliding to bases. but that can be rectified. according to wise baseball men. k
 Chance took Gilhooley out of the pasture for a while in order to look the Holden person over, and what is more. the leader of the New Yorks told Gilhooley not to be discouraged, that he had been taken out of the game, as he wanted to get 8 look at Holden.
 Channell was taken out the other day and Gilhooley was back in his old position in the right garden. It seems to be battle between Gilhooley and Channell if Holden lands 8 regular iOb.

one-haI the troubles experieneed

One-haIf the troubles experienced by drivers of motor cars are due to defective fabrication. Not because the amateur drivers of automobiles lack intelligence, but because, as a general rule. they are people unfamil- jar with machinery. fabrication is the most neglected phase of automo- bile care
 And this in spite of the fact that fabrication is really the most impor- tant item in keeping a motor car in good running order. Grease and oil have two main functions in any piece of machinery. First, to overcome undue friction; second to keep the rapidly moving parts cooled. If you fail to lubriCate your car you will probably get squeaks, but more importanat, you will get a loss of power, and if you neglect fabrication too greatly the motor will absolutely cease to perform it's function.
 A little system will insure that ev- cry part which needs fabrication re- ceives it regularly. once each day, or about every 100 miles, the crank-caSe should be examined 10 insure that oil comes up to the level of the top try cock. Simply add new motor oil whenever the oil level falls below this point.
 The steering gear knucl1Ie grease cups and steering cross rod grease cups should each receive one complete turn. All spring bolt grease cups should get a couple of complete turns each day. The springs take the entire 1olting of the car. Squeaks develop in them very rapidly. so their lubrica- tion is highly important
 The speedometer driving gears should also receive attention daily The speedorneter becomes useless il the driving gears bind from undue friction through insufficient lubrica- tion. The wheel hubs, which must work hard whenever the car is in mo- ton, should receive from at least 10 to 15 drops of motor oil a day. About twice week the fan hut should get a few drops of motor oil At the same time the pump shaft grease cups and steering gear grease cups should be given two complete turns. During this inspection see that the steering wheel and steering col umu each receive 10 to 15 drops o1 , T~JgOF oil,

Over 200 institutions Will Send Teams to the Pennsylvania Carnival.

Although the date for the closing of the entry lists for the Pennsylvania relay carnival at Philadelphia on April e5, is more than a month distant PIP institutions already have signified their intention of sending teams for the different events. and it is expected the total number of entries will ex- ceed 800.
