Press Run by Chug-wagon.
lNew York Sum-

The electric motor which is used to drive the press in the office of the Staten Island Advance" broke down the other afternoon and an expert frum Manhatten found that it could not be repaired without being sent to Phils- delphia 10 be rewound.
 John Crawford, Jr., the editor, found that no other office in Richmond bor- ough could print his siSteen-page paper. so he took his thirty-five horse power direct drive automobile up along side the building. had a hole knocked through the side of the wall and the shaft of his press run out through the building. A belt was then adjusted to the shaft of the automobile and the paper was run of successfully.
 We don't believe this yarn. If the fellow who wrote it had ''cut out" the part where the editor is supposed to own an auto, we might have placed some confidence in the tail. But the idea of . country editor raising cash enough to huy an auto! Preposterous-

TO MARK BOUNDARY
Stone Posts to be Erected on Line Be- tween Massachusetts and Connecti- cut-To Cost 5000 Each.

The Couraut says that the contract for setting the stones to mark the boundary line between Connecticut and Massachusetts has been awarded to the Cumberland Construction Go. oi Providence. K I. This company underhid other companies consider ably. offering to furnish the stones for Sl0 each. in all lS0 new stones will be set and some of the cld stones will be placed on hilitopS and in more secluded places, 10 serve as aids to engineers rather than as directions for travellers.
 The new stones will be nine and one-half feel long. four feet of which will be above ground. and the base five and one half feet underground, The portion above ground will be one foot square, marked on the south side Conn" on the north side Mass" and on the side facing the highway 1900" The initial letters of abutting towns will also be marked on each stone. the letter preceding the abbreviated name of the state The base of the stone will expand from the surface of the ground until at the distance of one and one half feet below the surface the base will be twenty inches square. This taper ing will have the effect of resisting the npheaying force of frost and the ground. instead af raising the stone out of its socket, will simply gap away from It and the stone will not change position. The great trouble with the old stones. which were set in 1905 west of the river and in lS2o east of the river. was that they were only five or at the best six feet long. and the same dimensions through out the entire length of the stone, SD that little more than q foot was sunk underground When severe frosts set Tn the ground heaved the stones upward little each winter. until they toppled over and were lost to view.
 Not few amusing incidents occur rcd during the survey. when it was found that in some cases the line d>s<e4 directly through a house. Tn one house the occupant had been ac- customed to sleeping in the north west room on the second floor. which was m Massachusetts, but when he found that rear bedroom was in Connecticut he changed his sleeping quarters to that room because the Connecticut taxes were cheaper than those in Massachusetts. Tn another house a woman sitting in the parlor asked just where the state line ran through the house. When the sur veyor replied that at that moment it ran directly through her she squirm- ed and changed her position appar- ently nor relishing the idea.

 Of course they cannot replace all these bridges with steel ones at present. be- cause of the heavy costs, but the bridges which were thought to have been in the poorest condition have been replaced.

 ard Canaan Man Saves Him From
 Perishing.
 Last Friday morning, when the mer- cury WAS several degrees below the zero mark. ], s. Adam ohseved man. scant- ily clothed. walking back and forth in front of his residence on the rad from Canaan to Falls Village. MT. Adam called the stranger into the house where it was discovered that he was nearly frozen. He ware summer clothing. had no hand covering and his coat sleeves terminated midway between his elbows and wrists. It was not possible to get from the stranger sufficient information to establish his identity but Mir. Adam SurmiEed that he might be an inmate of Dr. Knights insti. tuition at Lakeville. "A query by tele- phone proved that MT. Adams suppoSi. tion was correct and an attendant from the institution came to take the stranger in charge. His ears were terribly swollen and other parts of his body were badly frost bitten.
 The fact developed that the man es- caped from the institution and wandered aimlessly about the country until he reached Mir. Adam home. Judging from his condition when taken into tho house, MT. Adams considered that the man would have perished from expos. ure had his predicament not been dis. covered at the time it was.
