ney and Connolly showed themselves an

As Fay Wells was carting milk from
the Wells farm to the White Cross Milk
company Friday morning, his horse took
notion to be frightened at the steam
road roller operating on the hill south Of
the covered bridge. The animal whirled
the team around, ran down the hill and
dashed between two trees in the yard of
the Chadwick block, pulling away from
Charles Goodhart, who was trying to stop
the runaway and tho had his left arm
thoroughly scraped to the armpit on the
bark of tree. G. s. Booth then stopped
the horse. which had not succeeded in
overturning the wagon or throwing out
Mr.. Wells, but in all the fracas had only
broken the shafts.
The Evening Chronicle of North Attle-
boro, Mass, contained in recent issue the
following item of local interest :-"Dr. E.
c. Noble, who had an Office in this town
| for several months during the absence of
Drs. H. c. and n. c. Billiard in Europe,
has purchased the practice of DR.. A. n.
Bouckshaw of Norwood and will be To-
Gated there in the future. While in this
town, DR.. Noble made q large circle of
friends who will be panied to learn that
he is not to resume practice here. He
made record in North Attleboro as q
| physician that would have meant a
large practice had he decided to open an
office of his own, and his many friends
wish him success in his new field of la
bor."

town whether after all it is not positive
cruelty to give special training in art to
children compelled to go to school in
buildings painted dull leaden gray with
(heaven save the markl) brown trim
mings. Both are good durable colors,
and not to be sneered at, taken separate
| ly; but they were never meant to dwell
together in harmony under the same
roof. They are in such violent contrast
that their juxtaposition seems like a
breach of the peace. So sensitive is the
artistic temperament that hen the chill
dren have had their perceptions of tone
and shade and tint sharpened to an acute
point, it may be necessary to send them
| to school blindfolded.
sThe Mummy and the Humming
Bird" drew a goodly number of people to
Chandler Music hall Friday night and
the play, in its plot and amusing charac-

As the company brought no scenery, that
portion of the British aristocracy, with
whose domestic troubles the piece is con-
cerned, appeared for the nonce to be liv-
ing in rather straitened circumstances;
while London drawing rooms, sitting
rooms and chambers bore so striking q
resemblance to each other that references
to the program was necessary in oroer to
distinguish one from the other. w. A.
Whitecar was the principal star OF the
constellation and took care to emphasize
the fact by having the csrtain rise sec
ond time after an act to reveal him shin
ing in solitary splendor before an admir-
| ing multitude A minor luninary of no
1 little effulgence was Paul Terhune as the
organ grinder and his recital in Italian
| gibberish of the wrongs that drove him
TO vendetta svengence was both dramatic
and artfully made Ineligible.
