LITTLE COONS'
QUEER STUNTS

The three little racoons, which for
couple of weeks past have been an at
traction in the window of NJ. H.
Schram store, Mill street, have been
removed to DeWitt's Park where they
Will remain the balance of the season.
The little animals have been viewed
by thousands of persons while at Mr..
Schram's store Frequently the side
walk has been nearly blocked by peo-
pie, who were crOwdlng around the
window. The little animals seem to
understand that IA good deal is expect
ed of them and they are just rs anus
ing as they can be. Indeed. their an
tics at times surpassed all belief. They
are natural little acrObats. To bring
out their accomplishments Mr.. Schram
installed a small horizontal bar and
swing. The coons seemed to divine
the use of each and while one mounted
the bar the other took the swing and
in short time they were doing stunts
that rivaled the performance of the
most accomplished human actors. Ev-
cry day they add something to their
accomplishments. They reached the
climax on Thursday evening, how
ever, when they learned how to turn
out the gas. Suddenly Mr. Schram be-
came aware that the front part of the
store was in darkness and upon in
vestigating he found that one of the
coons had managed to reach the Wells
bach burner and turned out the light
The burner was relighted, but it was
only few minutes until one of the
cOons had climbed up the window and
turned off the gas for the second time.
Of course the logical conclusion would
be that the cOOns in their inquisitive
and meddlesome way uncOnsciously
manipulated the thumb screw which
turned of the gas without knowing
that there would be any effect, al
though many persons indulge the pleas
ing fancy that the young coons knew
exactly what they were about and
turned off the gas because at night
they preferred darkness to artificial
light

In 1916 Mrs. Abbott, with some fam
lily property bought the house known
now as the Wayside, since Hawthorne
bought and renamed it in 1852, says Il.
Il. Sanborn in the Critic. The Alcotts
had called II Hillside and had passed
pleasant childish years there. Louisa s
story telling gift was developed here,
and in the barn her earliest plays were
acted by herself and her sisters and
schoolmatcs. In her earlier years at
Concord she had been for short time
pupil of Henry Thoreau and still
earlier of her fathers Boston school.
Her other education came irregularly
from her parents. from temporary
governcss and sometimes from town
schools, but she always missed the
careful education that most of the Con,
cord girls had, either in public or In
private schools.

GUARD HUMAN LIVES

Some days ago an employe of the
locomotive shops of the Reading Rail
way company, at Reading, was killed
by the accidental fall of steel hook
from travelling crane. His skull was
fractured and his left arm torn off
The coroner's jury in its verdict sug-
gested that if any modern device were
in existence for more securely fasten-
ing said steel hooks it ought TO be ad-
opted. That jury did the thing right.

as of private employers, to spare no

Concrete Walls Under Way.

The excavation for the heat, light
and power plant at the hospital for
the insane is now about completed and
work yesterday was begun on the
foundation walls of the structure. The
entire building will be constructed of
concrete and will be the first building
of that sort erected in Danville. Il he
wooden forms are built and the first
course of concrete is laid for consid-
cradle distance along one side of the
building. In digging a foundation for
concrete walls the depth varies accord
ing to the nature of the ground. Here
and there ut the new building hard
bottom was found at slight depth,
while a few feet further on sand or
the like occurred, which made il neces
sary to dig to a greater depth. A the
hospital very little difficulty was eX-
perienced in finding a solid bottom for
the heavy walls of concrete.
From this point on the building will
be pushed very rapidly. As many men
are employed as can work to an ad-
vantage, but a larger number will be
employed rs the work progresses.

sMIMMERS, PROTECTION.

An example of the bravado and utter
disregard for the law that is exhibited
by certain of the Juveniles of this
community is shown by the rather
unusual methods employed by n
gang of boys to protect themselves
from Il watchman while swimming in
forbidden waters.
The ice pond on the Bennett estate
possesses marked attractions for the
youths as a swimming pool, more so
probably because the pastime is pro-
hibited at that spot. 1t is the custom
Of Watchman John Kreiger to keep
sharp lookout about the pond to pre-
vent the boys from indulging their
natatorial proclivities. \ hard time
he has of it too, for their ways are
cumvent.
On Tuesday, however, the climax
was reached Mr.. Kreiger was inform
ed that the gang was in possession
OF the pond, and he Fastening to rOut
the offenders, what was his surprise to
hear the sharp command to Halt !"
and to find himself facing the bust
ness ends of two dangerous looking
guns. behind which were two of the
boys who were standing guard over
the pool to protect their comrades from
the depredatious of the enemy
Mr.. Kreiger, naturally, was at a
loss as TO how to proceed, and think
ing of no way to outwit the lads, beat
a dignified retreat.
After the first section had finished
ITS bath, the members manned the guns
and did guard duty, while the others
had their swim.

ment was bulged and rose up as though
it were above a volcanic eruption the
paving undulated and the brick in
some parts left the street. and these
with great bodies of earth and debris
came down the street, tearing and
blockading it, 1t is a rather serious

tain such losses during heavy storms,
