This week the Breed is sho the marvelous Pathe Weekly, the ¢ news-picture in the world, and pre- senting as it does, the most interest- ing items or events of two worlds. It is @ convincing fact that New Eng- land is not wholly forgotten in the srecording of these. Conspicuous oOn the long list of happenings is the great parade at New Haven in its well remembered New Haven day. ASeen also is the steamship Minnesota, uilt and launched at Groton for the reat Northern Steamship company. he is being loaded in the most ap- proved manner, with the largest cargo ever loaded in a ship’s hold—16,000 tons dead weight. President Taft is also to be seen speaking from City hall, Worcester, while on his way to Mrs. Torrey's home to spend his birthday. An inspiring sight is the regatta at Cowes, England, in which the speedy sailing craft are seen dip- ping water at every wave.

Mr. Matt Bennett is heard with Mr. Calkins in a captivating duet. Auditorium Has Wonderfully Strong Show for Last of This Week—Al Aubrey, Local Acrobat, Makes First Norwich Appearance. The management of are offering what one of the best all-round s seen in a popular priced housw. Features predominate. An act that is a headliner in any vaudeville house in the world is The Last of t Regiment, a spectacular military story in song. This act features Mr. Al Cameron and company of flve people, six in all, in what is without a doubt the best act of its kind in ex Masslve sets of special scene: carried. See this one. Al Aubrey is a w the Auditorium vaudeville mous 4 Lukens for vears as their performer, and he has the distinction of being the first man to accomplish a triple somersault. Mr. Aubrey has never appeared in his home town until today, when he will offer a gymnas- tic novelty bling, Roman rings, trapeze and iron Jaw work. He fs ably a >d by Loretta, a dainty and accomplis 1 lady gymnast. It is predicted that MoHy Wood, the Irish violinist, will register an em- phatic hit, as this clever musician is the equal of the so-called virtuosos. The Auditorfum management knows just what kind of pictures please the Norwich public, and just such a set is shown today. Glory Keystone comedy that cost over to produce (a record for comedy films). The Gaumont Weekly, Colonel Roosevelt's refurn hom the Milwaukee shooting; also other views.

That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced. Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr, Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years, and ‘calomel’s old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating pa- tients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do not contain ¢alomel, but a healing, sooth- ing laxative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normal. They never force them to unnatural action. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are so easy to take that children do not re- gard them as “medicine” at ail. If you have a “dark brown mouth” now and then—a bad breath—a dull, tired feeling —sick headache — torpid liver and constipated, you'll find quick, sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Olive Tablets at bed- time, They're perfectly harmless. Thousands take one every night just to keep right. Try them. “Every little Olive Tablet has a movement all its own.” 10c and 25¢ per box. The Olive Tablet Co., Columbus, O.

Though a summer that's frigid lsn't nice, Though it makes us shun the hammock ‘neath the tree, And wish that coal sold at & lower price. One's collar doesn't sag, Like a corrugated rag, And we needn't bruise our fingers chopping Ice. Things could always be less lovely than they are; You will think that this is stretehing it, perhaps, But conditions In an overcrowded car Would be awful if thers were not any straps; When we went round the curves "Twould be fearful on the nerves Of the passengers who happened to have laps. Things are never at their worst; the henpgcked man May fancy that his ills are hard to bear; He may have to get along as best he n ca; With no nights off and very little hair; He may lead a gloomy life With his grim and bossy wite, But he might have been a Turk ané had a pair. The dreariest conditions might be- come Less lovely than we find them day by day; Why show the world a visage that i glum When you might pretend, at least, that i;ou are may? Be as blithe as you can be, If your credit is n. g., For you wont have any monthly bills to pay. —S. E. Kiser, in the Chicago Record Herald. THE CITY TRER From out the battered soil that lies Tween bounds of walk and driveway " £pace, Up to the smoky, half-glimpsed skies It springs in sturdy, sylvan grace. And ob, how much it means to me, My solitary eity tree. For on its boughs the seasons show Their varled beauty; Spring’s pale greens, Fall's Summer's rich scenes. The miracles of wood and lea Come to me through my city tree. tones, gaudy It gives storm music, leaf-blown song; Yet to my soul shows something higher— Stabllity that makes me strong, And growth that stirs me to asplire. So sense and spirit revel free In bounties from my city tree. —Oreola W. Haskell, in Leslie’s. HUMOR OF THE DAY He—-After all, we go to college to study. She—VYes, after all.—Michigan Gargoyle.

First Young Man—Then you think you may join & school for chauffeurs? Second Young Man—Uncertain. I'm figuring out the chances for eloping with the daughter of a millionaire in that vocation.—Judge. “We never buy anything in this ex- pensive store. Why do you gaze for hours at these dummies?’ “Well, 4. ward, one learns from them such good manners, don’'t you know!”—Lustige Blaetter. “I won't play poker with that fellow any more. He's entirely too smooth. He bobbed up last night with four aces.”” “What's wrong about that?" “I had dealt him four queens.”"— Louisville Courier-Journal, Migs Gusher—Tell me, Mr. Boerd, do you believe in big weddings or little ones? Mr. Boerd—Well—er—er—as for that, my dear lady, I should say that the former were quite essential to the latter—Dartmouth Jack o’ Lan- tern “It's never too late to mend,” quoted the Wise Guy. “That's right,” agreed the Simple Mug. “I read in the paper today of a couple who got a divorce after they had been married 48 years.” —Philadelphia Record. “Charley, dear,” said young Mrs. Torkins, “baseball is a great thing, isn't it?” “Yes, but what makes you think so?” “Without it some of our leading vaudeville entertalners would- n't have any occupation in the sum- mer months.”—Washington Star. “Are they fond of their New York home?” “Oh, awfully fond. They spend their winters in Florida, their springs in Lakewood, their summers at Newport and their autumns at Lemox, but they are simply devoted to their New York home!”—Chicago Malil. Her father had kicked him out of the house, but he returned. “What!” cried the old man, amazed, “you here again?” ‘“Yes, sir,” answered the im- perturbable youth. “I came to see if you couldn't be induced to join our football team.”—Boston Transcript. THE KALEIDOSCOPE It costs $8,000,000,000 a year to feed the American people. Gather up all rotted fruit from be- neath the trees and burn it. This will aid materially in reducing diseases and insects next season. It is most important that every bit of grass and all of the weeds be re- moved from the strawberry bed before mulching time gemes. This is essential to profitable yields next June. The chances are your lilac bushes are covered with the oyster shell scale. If they are, a thorough application of the lime-sulphur wash or a soluble oil solution will free them of the pest. If there are any pockets about the fruit trees where water is liable to stand during the winter it will pay to cart a few loads of soll to slightly mound the depressions. This will drain the water from the trees.
