MAN WITH MONKEY WRENCH
There is somebody else besides IL

There is somebody else besides the
man
Who sits at the steering wheel
And sends along on its mad career
The merry and mobile.
When the car is stopped with a brok.
en- spring.
Or skids in ditch to stay,
oh. then the man with the monkey
wrench
Is the hero who saves the day
The chauffeur looks at the cheering
crowd
With a calm and a naughty face,
Away he flies like a shooting star
In the dust of the whirlwind race.
But a tire may burst or a cylinder
crack,
And he goes to sit on the bench,
While the man Of the hour, the man
Of power,
Is the man with the monkey
wrench. New York Press.

indL disease undermines the system.
What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
You may have sample bottle and
book that tells all S
about It, both sent free = zssM$$II=Ss

ALL OF HIS OWN
Holds Bag After Wagon He
Buys Is Destroyed.

Stung again is Sam Jaffey. or so he
claims. Jaffey was a, police head
quarters this morning to tell his trou-
bles. He is a young junk dealer, who
has made many friends by his afable
manner and shrewdness. Some time
ago he fitted out a countryman named
Coda with a horse and wagon TO en-
able him to collect junk, and took
mortgage on the property. Coda had
an accident and the wagon was
smashed in the street car tracks. The
company paid him $50 in a settlement
The attorneys fee was SO and Coda
pocketed the remaining $50. Jaffey
claims it was his wagon and wants to
know what good it did him to keep a
mortgage on it and how much he
ought TO receive from Coda

BRAKEMAN HAS
HIS FOOT MASHED
E. M. Carter Now Confined at
Hospital.

Upon his arrival in this city yes
terday afternoon, E. NJ. Carter, a
Panhandle brakeman, was removed to
the Reid Memorial Hospital, suffering
from a mashed foot, sustained while
on duty. 1t is not believed amputa-
ton will be necessary. No information
in regard to the case could be gained
by inquiry at the hospital as the man
agement seems to be adverse to giving
out information concerning patients
confined there.

CHATTER OF TEETH
SOUNDED LIKE DRUMS
AT Least Chilly Chautauqua
Camper Alleges 'Tis True.

There was a bed clothes famine
among the campers at the chautauqua
last night. Along about midnight, so
one of the chautauqua police states,
the chatter of teeth sounded like a
drum corps playing quickstep. Good
Heavens. Bill, it must be zero" gasped
one unfortunate to his bunkie, who,
shivering like one with the ague, was
attempting to life the carpet off the
tent floor to impress it into service as
a blanket. This morning many of the
campers who live in Richmond, went
to their homes for blanket reinforce
ments.

FRATERNAL soCIETIEs-ELKs.
Part Which These Organizations Now
 Play in the United States.

The great number, popularity and large membership of fraCernal soci- .eties constitute remarkable feature of American society. It is not ex- ceptional with us, however, for there are Nmore such societies i'll England than there are in this country. The mutual benefit idea seems to be pc culiar to Anglo-Saxons. In England all such societies are called friendly societies and they are regulated by an act of parliament passed in 1896. Latest reports showed there were in the United Kingdom 29,965 friendly societies, with more than 1,0U0, 900 of members and more than S1S5,- 000.000 of funds. They embody in different forms the ideas of building associations. life insurance, mutual benefit and burial funds, h'.t the idea of general charity is far more prom inent in American fraternal societies than it is in those of England. Some of the largest societies have been borrowed or transplanted from England, as the Odd Fellows. Druids. Foresters. Rechabites, etc. but most of the American societies are of American origin and their growth in recent years has been very rapid.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-06-08

They illustrate the American aptitude and in the aggregate they dispense an immense amount of money in the way of benefits to their members and charity to members and charity to outsiders.
 Some of the American societies have old names which are without any particular significance, as the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, the Benevolent Order of Buffaloes, the Loyal Order of Moose, the Benev- olent and Protective Order of Elks, etc. These names were originally selected for oddity, but the societies have outgrown them. The society of Elks was organized in New York in 1868 by a few actors headed by an Englishman named Charles Alger- non Vivian. The original name of this society was Jolly Corks," but this afterward changed to Elks. Originally. also, it was composed mainly of actors and theatrical at taches, but now it contains members from all the leading walks of bus mess and professional life. Now it has about HOO lodges, 275.000 members and disburses nearly s400,- 900 a year in charity. Some other fraternal societies have a much larger membership, but there is none in which charity is more pre-emi- nently the distinguishing character istic of the order than the Elks.- Indianapolis News.

TRYING TO BOLSTER UP.
Local Team Will be Rejuvenated
 This Week,


 After several disastrous weeks of poor baseball, owing to injuries. Waterbury will try to be reborn again this week. In the first place Nichols, who broke his arm in the first game of the season, will resume his place to-day with the team, when they stack up against Springfield. Nick's arm is not fully recovered from the injury, but he believes he will be able to infuse new life into the team, something that is greatly needed at the present time. George Lachance will be back at his old stamping ground too and with that first corner covered, as it should be with George hitting the ball as he did before he tore ligament in his side, the team will receive further impetus from the rut, into which it has fallen. Sillery, who had one of his fingers split open, has also recovered and will get back into the box once more.
 With those cripples all returning, certain releases must necessarily fol- low Louis Lepine, who has been taking Lachance's place at first, re- ceived his blue envelope last even ing. The advent of Mullaney and the return of Lachance left no place for the former Holyoker and he had to go by the boards, although he has been hitting the ball at fast clip lately. Burt O'Drain has also re- covered from his illness and as Bill Rogers showed returning form in his game the other day, it will be a question which of all the pitchers will get the tin can. Murphy IS now occupying the third station, but it is question whether he is an im- provement over Bastian or not. Toner at short, another newcomer, certainly has not shown anything that would make Danny Singleton take back seat. Edmundson, who made his debut as twirler yes terday, looks good and may be a fixture. Another new twirler ar rived last night. He is Mulholland of the Binghampton club of the New York state league. Others are re- ported on the way, but Topham is still missing with that 20. The wedding process will soon begin and Waterbury will get into some sort of form for the rest of the season.
