The treasury of the baseball asso-

to deliver the goods.
Robert Cartmill, who has been Sc
riously i'll, is able to be out, and Wis
tied friends here last week.

epileptics. The eight-hour law went
into effect Monday at the hospital.
The selectmen will probably build
a temporary bridge for the use of
teams while the new bridge at South
Monson is being built. The demand
for it is increasing, and is insistent.
1t has been found that the old bridge,
which is being taken down, can be
thus saving considerable ex-
pense.
1t looks as if the Springfield and
Eastern electric road would not at this
time extend it's tracks to Wales. The
only thing for Wales to do is to build
it's own road and operate it if need be.
Word has just been received from Mon
roe, La, that that town has built it's
own road, and everybody there is
happy. We believe this is the only
case of the kind where trolley road
is owned and operated by a town or
city.
The selectmen have decided that it
will be impossible to build strip of
near the new bridge at the
south end this fall. It was intended
to expend the appropriation there,
but the new bridge will not be COM
pleted in time to permit the road to
be built this year. The town is de-
pendent upon the state for roller,
and does not expect to get one until
about September Is. AS soon as it
can be obtained the work will begin.
A strip of macao an will be built on
High street. nce EAhe soldiers monu-
ment, and the esfsN inder of the ap-
will Be expended in re-
pairs in various parts of the town.
One of the saddest accidents of the
year happened Wednesday to James
Warren Tufts, IL years of age. The
boy, with a cousin, Israel Taylor,
went to Mt. Bunyan Wednesday morn
ing. They were going down the east
side of the mountain, which has steep
cliffs in many places. Taylor was
some distance from Tufts, when he
saw the latter fall. He hurried to
the spot and found the boy unconscious
lic&o ha ho1
fallen. He attempted to carry the
injured boy to the nearest house, but
was unable to carry so heavy bur-
len. He therefore left him and ran
TO the house of Cornelius Foley, where
he obtained help. Henry Foley found
young Tufts, on the return to the
and took him to the Foley
home, where he still remains. DR..
R. E. Oamfill of Palmer was called
and took charge of the case, calling
TO his assistance DR.. @. W. Jackson
of Monson and DR.. D. J. Brown of
Springfield. The boy had not re-
gained consciousness at last accounts,
but hope is still entertained that he
will. His parents, Prof. and Mrs,
James Tufts, have much sympathy.

Frederick Effervescent Cady, editor,
publisher and the author of "How to
Win Voting Contest, is taking
much needed rest. Mr.. Oady has been
leading the strenuous life to such an
extent which renders him unfit to
participate in the Stafford
fair, which is soon to come, and has
gone back to nature. He has not re-
;urned to Wales, but firm in the con-
viction that A change of pastures
makes fat calves" has gone to sea.
Mr.. Cady has passed the stage when
catching fifth to a bob tailed flush,
or an advertising contract from FL.
Montague Graves, furnishes the neces-
Iary spice to life and is seeking bigger
game. AS this section of the country |
loes not abound in big game, and in
lis busy life there is no time for an
expedition to the dark continent, he
las taken the obvious alternative and
zone a-whaling Mr.. Cady is supposed
o have set sail for a whaling voyage
rom some port in the eastern part of
he state, and will return when he
cells like coming back or he receives
notice of the first meeting for the
eason of the Once-a- Week club.
,imid admirers of Mr.. Cady need have
10 fears for his safety. He has had
