MANIAC BRINGS TERROR
 TO FAIRFIELD

With a large Bible in his pocket and armed with a heavy club a. well dress ed stranger invaded the farm of John Sherwood in Southport shortly before noon today and commanded the farm hands to stop work as 1t was a Holy Day. He attempted to take pair of oxen away from one farm hand and when driven off he attempted to stop another farm hand who was harrow ing a field with pair of horses. Here he was driven off and later he chased gang of boys whom he met in the roadway. He frightened the whole section for over an hour.
 pr. J. l.. Hetzel telephoned to Se- lectman Charles Fox who in turn tried to get some officers by telephone. Failing to do so he located a husky farm hand named Leonard Koaanski who volunteered to take the crazy man into custody. When Koaanski found the man who was trying to enforce the Holy Day he was quite docile and he volunteered to accompany him. Selectman Fox supposed that he came from Bridgeport and he sent the un- fortunate man to this city in custody of Koaanski. He was placed in the padded cell at police headquarters un- til some one identifies him.
 The doctors regard the case as one of religious insanity.

 :voItaire's Disastrous Attempts so Make
 De Rohan Fight.
 Literary men in dueling times and countries have always been rather prone to get into trouble from which only passage at arms could extricate them Voltaire had at various turns a number of duels on his hands, but counted among them two which did not reach the expected climax
 One of these was his affair with the Chevalier de Rohan Chabot who goad- ed him to the point of fighting and then, instead of giving him the satis- faction demanded. had him lured into a coach and soundIy whipped with switches by some hirelings concealed there.
 Voltaire, after trying in vain to in- duce one of his noble friends to back him in his further pursuit of his en- emy, appealed to the municipal author ities in these phrases: "I humbly rep resent that 1 have been brutally as- saulted by the courageous Chevalier de Rohan. aided by six cutthroats, behind whom he was bravely posted. Ever since that time I have sought to restore not my honor, but his, a task too difficult
 AS this public affront failed to pro- duce any effect. Voltaire hunted out the chevalier one evening at the thea ter and flung insults in his face there. Rohan at last consented to meet him. hut cantrivnA to lat tha naws raach other members of the Rohan family, who had Vo!taire arrested and thrown into the BaStilIe.-New York Post.

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May be Obtained in One Night.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable
Treatment.-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old liner or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light ban
dase of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands dry, fis-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.
Cuticura Remedies are sold through
out the world, Potter Drug & Chem.

rings to work like pulleys.
At one corner of the outer heart up
