SIN LURES VICTIMS
 INTO DANCER ZONE.
Shrewdness of Sin Was Topic of Rev
 Dr.. Slocum at Shop Talk.

Rev. Joel B. Slucn, D. D., pastor of the Central Baptist church, spoke on the topic The Shrewdness of Sin at the noon shop meeting held Tuesday at the Cutlery plant under Y. M. c. A. auspices. Rev. Dr. Slocum told the story of the clever way in which an Indian entrapped an eagle by batting the bird to eat from large stone that he placed near the eagles feeding place. Finally when the bird had be- come thoroughly accustomed to feed- ing there the trap was sprung and the eagle caught.
 This is the story, said Rev. Dr. Slo- cum, and want you men to decide in your own mind at what point in the Indians scheme the eagle was caught. Very likely some of you would say that he was caught at that moment when the Indian pulled the strings and the meshes of the net entangled him. If you think so, will not argue with you, for there are some things in favor of that conclusion. But I take a differ that the eagle was caught the first day he ate his breakfast on that stone. It is certainly true that he never got away from that first step into the danger zone. There was something at first that told him to look out; and he did look out, but he kept coming back to that stone. The Indian knew when the bird came back next day that he was as good as caught. The bird would keep on wanting breakfasts and the Indian had plenty of time in which to wait. If the Indian had placed the net-Stick the second morning, the eagle would probably have taken alarm and the scheme would have failed. But the Indian knew better than that. Having secured the permanent interest of the bird, it was simply question of time.
 When the enemy of our souls decides to entrap us, he first of all gets us to go once into the danger zone. Then he convinces us that there is absolute ly no danger for us in that place. Then he makes all hell ring with his laugh ter, for he knows we are caught. The details of actually getting us into the net are probably interesting to him, but they are not nearly so fascinating as the steps that lead up to the point of our complacent indifference to danger

PoULTNEY RIGELoW ANSWERS MUNICH ACCUSATIONS.
Charge That Emperor Paid His Bills Is Clumsy Joke by German Editor.

After Poultney Bigelow was gradu- ated from the Norwich Free Academy with the class of '73 and had taken his A. B. degree at Yale in 1879, he a schoolmate of Kaiser Wilhelm at Potsdam.
 At that period his father, John Big elow, was United States minister to Russia
 The schoolmates may not have all ways agreed; but their friendship has continued during twenty-five years.
 Recently MT. Bigelow wrote from his home at Maiden -on-Hudson to a New York paper a rather pessimistic letter on Prussian militarism and the dang CT of the United States as a neutral power. The letter was widely copied in Germany and has drawn down up on the writer accusations. which, MT. Bigelow says, would make a Benedict Arnold feel uncomfortable. Among other things, Munich paper declares that the Emperor has assisted MT. BigelOW over and over again by pay ing his debts.
 MT Bigelow's comment, character istically vigorous, gives a good ln- sight to his boyhood friendliness with the, emperor, when he writes:
 Aus ewigen Geldnoeten!" And me, the most careful of husbandmen! Me who have never borrowed a penny from any living men-indeed, have never been in debt to any man, save my most generous of fathers! It is a clumsy joke for even a German editor but what of William H.? Is it a trif1e to accuse the Emperor of inti- macy for a quarter of century with a Yankee adventurer? Think of a mighty monarch inviting annually an impecunious globe-trotter. who was everlastingly spong1Ag on the imperial pursei
 The Emperor will never see that Munich paper. but if he did, he would laugh heartily and he would say to his wife:
 Why, on the contrary-it's Bigelow who has been everlastingly giving valuable things to me! He may be a dangerous man politically, but he has never allowed me ever to give him anything but portrats, whilst from his hands have accepted gifts of in- calculable value For instance, he gave me the original American sailing canoe on which he made the first voy- age the whole length of the Danube it now hangs in my PotsdaIn boat house. Then that wicked BigeloW gave me a replica. of the only authen- tic portrait of my saintly resting in God great great grandmother, ths famous Queen Luise-of blessed mem ory! No that Bigelow has horrible heresies in regard to the divine right of kings. but"

M Shay Fertilizer Co, of Groton, for per sonal injuries, received by being roll ed between a freight car and shed, owned by the defendant company in the superior court has taken an appeal to the supreme court of errors. Notice of appeal was filed with Assistant Clerk Hibbard R. Norman in New London Tuesday.
 The case was tried before Judge Bennett and a jury last week. The evidence had all been taken when Judge Bennett granted a motion of the attorneys for the defendant to di- rect verdict for the Shay company and dismissed the case, stating that the plaintiff had failed to prove neg ligence on the part of the defendant company.
 It is from this decision that the ap- peal is based. claiming that the di- recting of the verdict was against the evidence.

PREPARED SOIL FOR ALFALFA
incubation or Previous Crop of Sweet
Glover Are Essentials Required
for Success With Plant.

Alfalfa will not grow in a soil in
which It has never been grown or in
which its near relative, sweet clover,
has not grown, or unless the soil has
been inoculated. This Is for the reason
that the little germs or bacteria which
produce the knots or nodules on the
roots Of the alfalfa must be present
in the soil before the crop will thrive.
These nodules are important in the
development and thriftiness of the
crop, and it is through them that
nitrogen is added 70 the soil The in
oculation Of the soil with these germs
may be done by spreading a little soil
from an old alfalfa or sweet clover
field at the time the alfalfa seed is
planted, or by inoculating the seed
with a commercial culture Of the or
ganism before it is soWn
