AUTOMOBILE CLUB.
Interesting Meeting Held with Many Members Present-Run to Stafford for May 31.

The Willimantic Automobile club held a largely attended and interest ing meeting Thursday evening in FL more & Shepard's room in the Wash ington block. b. F. Whitmore and H. J Cotter were elected members of the board of directors of the state asso- ciation representing the local club. It was voted to have an outing May 31 and take run to Stafford. Arrange 1nents were left to Nthe committee on tours.
 The club voted to spend $20 for signs and to cooperate with the state association by arranging with the se- lectmen of adjacent towns to properly sign the roads. The matter of Orphan day was referred to the board of di- rectors to arrange for an outing at later date. There was a spirited dis Cussion among the members relative to the Main street paving project, and when a vote was taken upon motion by E. P. Chesbro, ably seconded, the sense of the meeting was disclosed to be that it would be much more ad- vantageous to all concerned that the $5,000 appropriated for that purpose be expended in repairing several streets about the city that are in need of proper attention. Secretary F. H. Elmore was voted a member of the publicity committee affiliated with the state association.
 These new members were admitted: D. Barren of Eagleville, Norman B. Griggs of South Wilmington, Steven Rose of Mansfield, w. B. Watrous, Fred Little. F. D. Jordan and W. P. Jordan of this city. making a total membership of II. A social hour with smoker and refreshments concluded the evenings session.

-LINeuIsr- LOST HIS DINNER.
Man Of Many Languages Dropped
 Around at Wrong Time.

Madam" began the man with the red nose to the farmers wife, you see before you learned man in hard luck. In fact, am one of the worlds great est hnguists." 'Is it painfulr" she sympstheticaily asked.
 You don't understand, madam. A linguist is one who can talk the Ian guages. Now. can converse with you in Latin. can tell you the sad story of my life in Greek. l can go to the lecture platform and lecture in any language known to man."
 Dew tell" she gasped.
 "Yes, madam, all the languages arc spoken iuently by me. Were you Ger man I would talk German with you: were you French, we would converse in the language of that country; were you Spanish, you would think from my talk that was a native of the land of the dons"
 T want tew knowI Mebbe you'd jest as soon ask fur piece of pie in Latin7"
 Certainly, madam, E pluribus union semper idem de pumpkin"
 "Wa-al. the ideal" exclaimed the amazed farmers wife. An how does the French language sound7"
 Beautiful, madam. When I say in French, 'Parie yous rouget noir oui sausager I mean Isn't it q lovely dayr"
 Good land!"
 The same sentence in German would be, 'Ach. budweiser und der klemp- stein is oudt."
 'Wa-al. wa-al, wa-all How sum folks dew run tew smartness. win ye take dinner with us7"
 Certainly, madam"
 Its real kind of ye to be obligin'. My son will be hum from college any mint, an he writes that he knows all them languages. You an him can talk 'em all over an let pa an me listen to ye. Would you like to step over to the vashhouse an wash up fur din neri It's all ready"
 The great ''linguist" heaved 6 heavy sigh. muttered something about fool sons being around when they were not wanted, and started in the direo- ton of the washhouse.
 But he did not return.-Ths Bo- hsmian.

crItIeI.m of the pIssenter.

It is a useful accomplishment to be able to say no, but it certainly is the essence of amiability to prefer to say yes where it Is possible. There is something wrong in the man who does not hate himself whenever he is con- strained to say no. And there was a great deal wanting in this born dis senter. He was almost shockingly de- void of weaknesses; he had not enough of them to be truly polar with human ity; whether you called him a demi- god or a demi-man. he was at least not altogether one of us. for he was not touched with a feeling of our in- firmities. The worlds heroes have room for all positive qualities, even those which are disreputable, in the capacious theater of their disposi- tions. Such can live many lives; while a Thoreau can live but one, and that only with perpetual foresight Stevenson.

When Camping Out.

The selection of tents when camping out for the summer vacation is dis cussed in an interesting way by a writ CT in Suburban Life for June. who says: "The wall of 7x9 foot tent is two feet high. To the bottom of the wall there should be fastened a sod cloth about nine inches wide. The sod cloth Is a narrow strip of the same material as the tent. sewn fast to the wall, and its use is to make a tight joint with the ground, by laying on it heavy ma terial like guns, stones, strips of tim ber-anything. in fact, that will press it so close to the ground that mos quitos. snakes and other objectionable visitors cannot gain an antranca."

Double Alarm.

A double alarm was rung in from box 15 Thursday night a little before 10 for a fire in Vanderman's foundry on Mansfield avenue. All companies in the city made the long, hard run in quick time, and by hard work soon had what at first indicated a severe fire under control. The watchman made his rounds at o'clock as usual and said that at that time he saw no signs of a fire, but it is thought that one must have been smouldering. as sheets of flame were bursting through the roof upon the arrival of the fire companies. The blaze had its origin near the cupola and considerable dam age was done to the long, low shed adjoining the blast furnaces. Chief Webster stated that 1t was impossible to estimate the actual loss until to- day. The ringing of the second alarm caused hundreds of people to gather on Upper Main street, and that local ity was teeming mass of humanity of all ages for more than an hour.

The monster was about forty feet

feet back from the head IL had a big
dorsal fin. The head was as big as o
barrel and brown In color with eyes
as big as my fist and II moved from
side "a side. The tail was like that Of
a porpoise. We first sighted the thing
100 feet away.
The head was then out OF the wa.
ter and ! started 20 shoot at Il, but
feared II might become angry and
wreck us, so | told one OF the boys to
start Che engine and We glided away.
but the monster came after us. We
gave the engine all she could stand
and got away from the creature"
