Pathetic Query.

The nurse had been entertaining heF
patient by singing some of his favorite
songs to him. There was one song In
particular that the little boy liked
much. and he never failed to ask his
nurse to sing 1t to hir' every time she
came into the room. She had already
sung 1t dozen times or more that
morning. when on coming into tho
room after few minutes absence she
heard little voice from the other end
Of the room: "Say, nurse, do you
think you have enough tone left to sing
that song again?"

Old European Families.

The oldest family Of Great Britain
is said to be the Mar family, in Scot
land. which can trace Its pedigree Il
the year 1893. Then. too. there are
the Campbells of Argyll. whose origin
dates back to 1880. The Grosvenol
family. that Of the duke of Westmin
ster, refers its origin to the same year
that the Conqueror 'came over
1865. The Austrian house of Hapsbure
goes back farther than that. its date
being 952, while the B0urbons OF
France proudly mention 1854, a. the

Value Of Quick Decision.

As rule the man who has trained
himself to quick decisions and prompt
actions follows close to the right. He
does not need to debate questions as
does the man who has become mas
ter Of elaboration. His mental facul-
ties seem to work automatically and
they are generally right. I'm not sure
but that they are more often right
than they are with the man who is
constantly weighing pros and cons and
becoming confused with the issues.
He saves time because he acts quick
ly and he saves everybody the un-
certainty Of indecision.

BRIDGEPORT NATIONALS
 REORGANlZE FOR SEASON

To Sporting. Editor of The Bulletin:
 The winners of the city league title for 191929 have reorganized for the coming basketball season. The brand of ball shown by these boys last seas on was of the best, being always ex- ceedingly fast and clean, which en- abled them to romp home with the title and defeat. every team they met.
 This year the same men will com prise the team which we believe will bring home to Bridgeport the state title. Our men will stack up against any organization in the state or out of it. Size, age or experience make no difference for we consider our Park City boys as good as any, and are con- fident they will back us up in our statement.
 In four seasons, not including I917- IS, when the players were in the ser vice, they have lost but eleven hard fought games, their wins totalling up to seventy-o -one, for a percentage Of .S66.
 Clancy and Cogan, former varsity men on the Holy Cross team are to be with us once more and we expect much of these two stars this year. Also Me- Gran, formerly of the Blue Ribbon team of this city, and Hayes and Kiely who did so much to bring home the bacon last year and establish them selves with the top notchers of our eity's best.
 k of c. clubs kindly take note and other organizations who have a. season in front of them. Don't forget the Bridgeport Nationals. Communicate with S. J. Cain, PA Narrel avenue, Bridgeport, Conn.

CITY OF CLEVELAND PAYS
 TRIBUTE TO WORLn,S CHAMPS

Cleveland, Oct. 13-Cleyeland tonight paid tribute to it's world champion base ball team in public demonstration in Wade Park, attended by approximately 5O,000 persons So great was the en- thusfasm that the crowd broke through ropes marking off the stage where city officials and the Cleveland American league baseball players sat- smashed chairs and pushed several persons into a small lake while expressing it's joy over the winners of the worlds series
 Each player. as he was introduced, got wild demonstration.
 When the last speech had been made and the mayor had signalled that the program was over, the crowd refused to leave, and rushed forward through the ropes. Hundreds climbed on the stage to shake hands with the athletes. While many persons were somewhat bruised and battered in the rush, there were no reports of serious injuries.
 The Cleveland players this afternoon voted to give Walter Mails and Joe Se- well, recruits who joined the club late in the season, full shares in the split of the world series receipts. One thousand dol lars each also was given to Secretary Walter McNichols of the club, Scout Jack McAllister, Trainer Percy Smallwood Ground Keeper Frank Van Dellen and Miss Edna Jamieson, chief clerk of the club. Mrs. Ray Chapman, widow of the player killed by ball thrown by Pitch CT Carl Mays of the Yankees. already had been voted a full share. Todays action | of the players reduced the share of each to $3,s86.33
 A banquet for the team ard other dem | onstrations are being arranged

New York, Oct. 1S.-Railroad and in dustrial stocks moved in opposite direc- tions again today. transportations, es pecally the speculative variety denoting further accumulation, while industrials and associated specialties were varia- ble or hesitant
 There were few striking exceptions, as in the case of Lackawanna Steel, which strengthened on it's excellent statement of earnings and several of the equipments and oils, the latter respond ing to higher prices for the refined pro- duct.
 Sentiment among professional traders was once more governed by the local money market. Call loans- opened att 8 per cent, advanced to at midday and mounted to 10 per cent, the maximum rate for several weeks, just before the close.
 This sensitive condition was attributed mainly to the withdrawal of sS8, ,000,00 of government deposits and final prepa- rations for Fridays payment of the An glo-French loan of $500,000,000, the greater part of which, however is be- lieved to be. in hand
 These influences were probably less unsettling than the trend of industrial conditions, most of which seemed indi- cat1Ne or an lndennlte continuance or price reductions and curtailment of op- erations
 Coppers. for example, yielded again or reports that the refined metal is being offered for immediate d,livery at 16 3-4 cents and advices from Pittsburgh anG other steel centres confirmed recent ad vices of concessions for fabricated iror and steel In shipping circles freight rates also were said to be in process o1 downward revision. Sales amounted tc 525 1000 shares
 Some of the industrial bonds, incIud ing U. S Steel 5s were heavy but othel domestic issues, including Liberties were steady to firm the international di. vision evincing no marked trend To tai sales (par value) were SIT 900 | Old U. s. bonds were unchanged or call.

ACADEMY ELEVEN LINES UP
 AGAINST ASHLAND TO-DAY

This afternoon at o'clock Coach Mo Rays oval chasers will meet the Ash land eleven of Jewett City in what promises to be an exciting contest. The N. F. A. team has undergone some changes during the week which should strengthen it considerably Brown, who was used at fullback in the Wind ham game, will be seen at tackle and Louis Joe) Paradis will take Browns place at fuilback Paradis was a can didate for the team early in the sea son but was forced to lay off for a. while. He showed world of promise in the few days he attended practice and there is no doubt but what he will hold up his end today
 The rest of the team will line up as usual except for few minor changes.
 In the Jewett City lineup will be mo- ticed the names of LeClaire, Liberty and Jarvis, members of the Ashland ball team that vanquished our own Ka- ceys.
 The following is the Jewett City line up: Barry and Guillotte ends Jarvis Brennan tackles, Parrisseau and Barre guards, CIoutier center, Stafford quar- ! terback, LeClaire and Dubois halfbacks Liberty fullback.
