Touring Car Damaged

The handsome new Stevens Duryea
touring car, owned by j. t. Maxwell, OF
Sangerties. N. ", which went through
Ellsworth yesterday, was badly damaged
near the franklin Road station last night
by the breaking OF some part OF the steer
ing gear
The Maxwells were bound for Gtand
Lake Stream. They arrived safely at
franklin, and put up at the Relay house.
The chauffeur, Joseph A. Tufts, of Han
cock Point, started alone with the car after
supper to 60 to the Point to visit mis- fami-
ly. Just after turning Goiding's corner
on the Hancock road, up the rise, some
thing happened to the steering gear, and
though not going at high rate OF speed
the car was hurled into the ditch before
Mr.. Tufts had time to shut off the power
The front axle was badly wrenched, and
the body OF the car badly cut up, many Of
the parts being twisted and broken.
The machine, which is Of fifty six horse
power, was hauled, by the help of neigh
bors, into George Springer's barn. Byron
Page thinks he can repair it without send
ing It away.
This morning Mr.. and Mrs. Maxwell
drove over from Franklin, and after hear
ing the facts, exonorated Mr.. Tufts, it be
ing evident that the accident was due to
no fault of his.

young MRS. WINTHROP"
Successful Dramatic Performance by
Local Cast.

Successful Dramatic Performance by
Local Cast.
The four-act society play, "Young Mrs.
Winthrop" was presented by q local cast
at Hancock hall last Wednesday evening,
under the auspices OF the Village improve
ment society. The hall was well filled,
and the audience showed its appreciation
by frequent applause, or perhaps more
emphatically still by the tears to which
many were moved by affecting situations
in the play-no means compliment to the
histrionic ability of the Ellsworth anna
tours.
All the parts were we'll taken, and there
was pleasing absence of amateurishness
which, even il in the smaller parts, 80 free
quently detracts from the good work Of
others and SPOTS an otherwise good play.
This may be credited to the excellent
work of Fred E. Cooke; under whose di-
rection the play was given. -
The leading women's parts were taken
by Mrs. L. F. Giles as Mrs Ruth VIM
| throp, and Mrs, Harry l.. Crabtree as
Constance Winthrop, her daughter-in-
law. Mrs. Giles portrayed the character
to protection. Mrs. Crabtree's part was
perhaps the most difficult of all, requiring
strong emotional acting, and her work
was excellent. Miss Muriel G.. Davis, as a
Eighty and frivolous woman of society,
was charmingly true to the character
represented, and Miss Frances Doyle, as

Dont's BY The Baby.

Don't handle me more then is necessary
Don't put into my mouth, to stop me
from crying, an old piece OF rubber to
suck. It is about the worst habit can
get into.
Don't let any relatives see me.
Don't take me up, strain me to your
breast, walk the floor with me, dance
before me like q wild Indian shaking a
horrible rattle, or talk gibberish to me
when have crying spell. There may be
something serious the matter with me,
but this isn't going to help.
When i push away my bottle, don't
force me to feed. know when it is nee
essary for me to eat anything.
Don't take me to the circus, prayer
meeting, or to spend the day at the sea-
shore. I'm not SO old or so foolproof as
you are.
Don't kiss me. Take some one OF your
own size.
Don't show your anxiety about me when
in my presence. | haven't any too much
confidence in myself.
Dept be too proud OF my unnatural
brightness. 1t may be form of de-
generscy
Don't tell anybody THAT am only lit
lite animal. Let them guess 1t for them
selves.
Don't take my temperature or.send for
the doctor on the slightest provocation
Don't let the light strike into my eyes.
Don't rock me to sleep. Rememb Der that
the hand that rocks the cradle is ruled by
the baby.
