The soft broken soil under the limb saved

at once. He has lately been putting In

lowest bid for concrete ON the Richmond

As Jesse Blodgett was crossing the
square Friday noon on the concrete
walk leading from the Tewksbury block
to- the depot, an automobile from out OF
town whizzed into the street and, in
trying TO circle around him, nearly
succeeded in running him down. IL shot
in his direction like streak Of lightning
and seemed fully as irresponsible and
erratic in its movements. Instinctively
putting out his hands 10 save himself,
Mr.. Blodgett laid hold OF the machine as
IL gr zed past him, and WAS somewhat
amazed ON recovering his balance not to
find himself in pulverized form.
The span of young mules that run on
Charles Bakers milk team were thrown
into great state of hysteria by the sight
OF bicycle on Highland avenue last
Thursday morning as they were standing
in front OF II. NJ. Miller's. With the set
determination OF their long-eared race,
they paused not to attend TO the wants OF
other customers along the route, but made
a wild dash towards the Brigham cream
erv, where they hastily delivered the
whole supply OF milk in one consignment
BY overturning the cart and smashing
sixty bottles to bits. The cart with its
wheels in the air was, like a bug on its
back, in no situation for running away
and the mules were obliged to stop, still
quivering in archaic fright at the bike as
though il had not been entirely suppressed
ed by the auto Ms the cause OF conniption
fits in modern quadrupeds.
Pianoforte Recital.
A large audience in Bethany church
Friday evening listened with evident en-
joyment to the piannforte recital given by
the pupils OF Miss Edith A. Marcott.
Many OF the performers were children
whose little fingers struck the keys with a
touch that evoked real music from the in
strument and satisfied the critical ear that
they were playing. not pounding, the pia'
no. The older pupils showed skill IN
execution and power OF expression de-
rived from long and arduous practice I'M
der able supervision.
Miss NJ. Blanche Sparhawk added to the
program the beauty Of her soprano voice,
itself an instrument OF wide range and VI
brant sweetness that is particularly felt in
a soft lullaby song like her selection OF
aSwingin' in de VIM" An especially
lovely thing was the "Adagio from Trio"
rendered with almost a full orchestral eff

Al. Croft of Enosburg Falls, who went
to the jamestown exposition grounds the
latter part OF April with M. II. Miller OF
this Mace TO care for the maple sugar ex-
hibit from the Randolph market, writes
in amusing style to the Enosburg Stand

| Of the false report that has been lndustri-
ously circulated to the effect that the ma
