RoAMED THE WOODLAND.
John and Margaret MaIoney Followed Life cf ,1ia1, Got Hold of Firewater and Now Will Camp in Jail.

John Maloney and Margaret Malon- ey were before the town court Monday afternoon, charged with camping or private property, indecent exposure and intoxication. The pair have been living in the greve near the Cold Spring on lower Dyer street for the past week, and comparing their mode of living with the simple life of the Indian is not an eXtraNagant exaggera- uion.
 They have roamed the woodland slept under the spreading branches oi the stately trees, and perhaps browsed on the succulent grass that also serv- ed them as a velvety couch when the bright rays of the monday sun or the shades of night added an extra blink to their Woozy feeling. At any rate, they did not work, and what they ate must have been something that costs a little less than a free lunch They did get hilariously good natured however, and such refreshnent as found it's way into their receptive sys- tems does not grow on a bush. The people down that way stood for their rIlare fakin2 until they introduced some high art poses without the prop- CT restrictions for such cases. and then the police were told about the strange inhabitants of the suburban woodland
 In the town court Monday after noon Judge Back gave them each six ty days in jail, and although they ap- pealed they will probably sleep inside until after the camping season. The couple claim to be married.
 New Rails and SIeepers.
 New rails and sleepers are being placed on the trolley road at the curve in Main street near Stearns street. Monthly Output 4,2oo Pounds Butter

The total receipts were S1,247.9S. Nearly every pound of butter was contracted for before it was manuf- ctilred and more than can be made with the pres ent arrangements at the plant could readily be scld at as good a price,

NATURALIZATION CLUB.
Newest of French Societies Starts in with 300 Members and Good Pros
 poets.

Le Chibe de Naturalization Indepen- dant Canadiens F'rancais de Putnam is the name of Putnam's very newest organization.
 It starts it's career with member- ship of 300 French Canadian residents and with the prospect that this num- Der will be greatly increased during the winter months. The object of the organization is to interest every eligible Canadian resident of this city in becoming a naturalized citizen of the United tSates and to help to edu- cate those of the race who are at pres-i ent unable to qualify as voters in such a degree as to allow of their secur- ing the right of franchise.
 With this end in view, the plans are to organize a night school in which elementary studies will be taught the members of the club acting as in- structors.
 Aside from teaching those who must receive lessons, attention will also be given to getting those who are quali- fled but negligent in securing citizen ship.
 The organization, as indicated by it's title is independent of any particular political party. Its main intent is to make as many French Canadians citi- zens as is possible. Great interest is exhibited in the movement among all IiAt E1tlCll NchAiclhic1AA lNoiOtAllS Ol tiilH city.
 The officers of the club are: Presi- dent, Dr. Joseph N. Landry; first vice president Hector Duvert second vice president, Joseph Dupre; secretary Attorney George Cartier; treasurer, Joseph Plessis; auditors, A. A. Brodem anda Alphonse Beausoliel.
 The club will send representatives to the convention of French societies to be held in Norwich Sept. 7th and Sth.
 Prompt Action Prevents Bad Sire.
 What would very probably have de- veloped into a disastrous fire was overcome by prompt action in the basement of the store of NJ. J. Lynch Sunday morning.
 A lighted candle that had been for gotten and left in the cellar. after it had been used for showing light about the place, ignited some infammable material. The fire was discovered by persons in the, store of the Progress Confectionery store next door before it did great damage. It. was extin- guished The department responded for the alarm.
 Narrow Escape for Freight Hopper.
 A hobo attempting to climb on to a slowly moving freight gave a few spectators a shock Monday afternoon when he caught a handle on the side of the car and then made dizzy at- tempt to put his foot on the step His foot, however. went on top of a revolv- ing wheel and it looked for an instant as if it would be ground to pulp. For tunately the foot came clear of the rail and minute later trainmen were driving the fellow away. The incident occurred opposite the Chickering house.
