HID TOO MUCH INTELLIGENCE.
Usefulness Of Marvellous Incubators
Ended by "Scrap."

Speaking about incubators,"
drawled old JEFF Weatherby, in the
back of Jason's general store, re
mains me Of the wonderful chicken
hatchers built by the Hams boys Bill
Hams invented the most marvellous
incubator ever seen in these parts.
1t not only hatched the chickens out,
but 1t actually shielded the little
chicks from a hawk just like an old
hen. Then Pete Hains got busy and
went one better. He built an incu-
bator with phonograph arrange
ment that would 'cluck-cluck' to the
chicks and scratch up worms for
them"
"Whew!" gasped the starch drum
mer. Il have heard lot of yarns,
but that is the limit. What became
of these wonderful incubators?"
Busted, stranger, busted all to bits.
You see them thar incubators were so
intelligent they soon grew jealous Of
one another and first thing you know
there was scrap to equal any game
ceicken fight that ever come of. When
1t was over both were only fiji for the
junk heap. Thanks, stranger, I'll

Surprise for Lodse-keeper.

DR. Thomson-who appeared once In
the role Of coachman He had at

ing the house, discovered that his
coachman was drunk. There apeared
nothing for 1t but to drive home HIM
self, and the archbishop, after placing
the smiling but unconscious coachman
inside the carriage, mounted the box
and took the reins. The monotony Of
the homeward journey was broken by
a wheel of the carriage coming into
violent collision with stone just out
side the entrance to Bishopsthorpe.

HAPPY RESULTS
Have Made Many Norwich Residents
 Enthusiastic.

No wonder scores of Norwich citi- zens grow enthusiastic. It is enough to make anyone happy to find relief after years of suffering. Public state ments like the following are but truth ful representations of the daily work done in Norwich by Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Miss Amy M. Wilcox, 3S Mckinley Avenue, Norwich, Conn, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are entitled to my strongest recommendation. Off and on for some time I was annoyed to quite an extent by a dull. heavy ache across my loins and kidneys Those who have had similar experiences will realize how much misery and incon- venience this complaint will cause. A friend, knowing how I was troubled, recommended Doan's Kidney Pills and I procured them from N. D. Sevin & Sons drug store. They proved eff fective from the first. and it was only a short time after commencing their use that was completely relieved"

WATER SUPPLY AT
 NORWICH STATE HOSPITAL.
Another Artesian We'll May Be Driven Landscape Engineer to Lay Out Grounds-Work of District Nurse New Coal Bin Authorized.

In addition to the business done at the annual meeting of the board of trustees of the Norwich state hospital as reported Wednesday morning, sev- eral other matters of importance were taken up and acted upon. In regard to the water supply there was some dis cussion. The supply has proved ade- quate for the needs of the hospital ex- cept during extreme drought. but with the increasing numbers there and the likelihood of dry seasons the increasing of the supply was considered. The ar tesian well there now gives about 100,- 900 gallons a day. As it is figured a patient required about 100 gallons a day on the average, a large portion of the supply is required. Nothing defi- nite was done regarding the increase, but if an increase is found necessary 1t will be secured by driving another well, the water from such having been found to be excellent for the uses re- quired. The matter was left with the building committee.
 In order to have the grounds laid out under some plan which can be fol- lowed from year to year in it's perfec- tion, it was decided that 8 landscape engineer should be consulted for the purpose of getting the best results. and this was left with President Lippitt and Supt. Dr. H. M. Pollock.
 There are two types of buildings un- der consideration for the institution, only one of which will be built now. These are the f1reproof buildings for the three wards. the laboratory and the central fire station. The sketches for these buildings were approved anu the architects will now complete them. Later there will be house for the staff and cottages for nurses and em- ployes of plain construction, but that work will not be attempted now.
 It was decided, however. that a new coal bin will be erected near the power house to be made by building a second retaining wall nearer to the bank than the present one and excavating in be- tween them so that the coal can be dumped from the track into the bin, which will hold from 750 to 300 tons. A door from the boiler room will make the bin easily accessible.
 The report of the district nurse was received and showed that over 1000 calls had been made in the past year, in attendance upon poor cases through the United Workers and on cases where the patients are able to pay something but not able to have a nurse constantly. Much has been accom- plished in this line of work and the report proved most satisfactory. The pay received is used in meeting the expense in getting to the patients.

HandIeman Denies Cordon's Story
Had Been Offered $25 but Refused it and would No Leave Town-Defense Rests in Copper Wire Case May Reach Arguments Today.

At the opening of the criminal su- perior court Wednesday morning the copper bond wire case was resumed, and a number of witnesses were exam ined during the day. The defense completed its testimony and a few witnesses in rebuttal were called It is expected that nearly the entire day will be taken up with rebuttal today, but it is probable that the arguments will be reached late in the afternoon.
 The cross examination of Moses Geldfadden was continued at the opening of court. He said that when Mrs. Gertz said her husband was ar rested for the theft of wire and that she wanted them to go bond, he SUD- posed it was for the wire stolen in March, 1907, although it was not until August, 1908, that he was arrested. He had heard of no other wire being stol- en. His examination lasted for some time
 Israel Pieloff of Westerly. a junk dealer, told of selling barrels to MT. Goldfadden in Westerly March 20, 1907. and showed a check for $10 which he received for the barrels.
 Hannah Goldfadden testified that she never saw Gertz at her fathers house. She had heard Handleman say he would make trouble for Fox and Goldfadden. Jacob Gordon said Mrs. Gertz had asked him to go bonds for her husband. He was in no way con- nected with the business of the three men. Jailer J. A. Bowen testified that Gertz was in jail from July to July 26 Mrs. Joseph Gordon said she nev-. CT saw Gertz in this city. Barnett Jacobson told of threats he had heard against the accused, and H. s. Gold fadden told the court and jury that he had never seen Gertz or his team in this city.
 It was the testimony of William Trachtenberg that Messrs. Fox and Handleman met in his store, where they had such a heated argument that he had to ask them to leave He said Handleman declared to Fox that he had not got through with him and before he did he would land him in jail. Philip Sheblof said that he heard Handleman tell Goldfadden in the Ja- cobson bakery that he would see him in hell before he got through with him.
 Louis Trachtenberg testified that he asked Handleman if he was trying to bury the accused and he replied: NO more than they did to my father" This completed the testimony for the defense, which rested at 2.43 o'clock.
 Rebuttal Testimony.
 As the first witness in rebuttal State Attorney Hull called on Mrs. NJ. H. Medbury manager of the Putnam telephone exchange, who showed that the Norwich Junk and Bottle com pany were sent two messages, one on March 19. 1907, and another on the 21st of the same month. The later one, the state attorney said, was the one the firm claimed their books show ed was paid for on the 22d.
