TAFTvlLLE
Twelve Year old Boy Went Over Mill Dam and Escaped Uniniured-LocaI Mention About the Village.

A plunge over the TaftvilIe dam to the apron twenty feet or more below 10 Ernest Dubreuil, 12 years old, a week ago Saturday morning, and that he lives to tell of the occur renee is considered miraculous. In Iact, the story seen1S almost unbeliev- able when first heard, but it is vouch- ed for by boss and a number of em- ployes in the Ponemah mills. who sa " the boy pick himself ur and walk off after his drop.
 Young Dubreuil. who is the son of Dieudonne Dubreuil of 1s South A street. was playing with number of other boys on the ice above the dam. over the dam and the current had kept a space for some feet above the dam from becoming frozen. The boy Tn running over the ice got too near the edge and a cake broke off with the boy on it. The current did the rest. There was a foot of water covering the inner part of the sloping plank apron below the dam and this broke probability kept him from serious in- jury. The people in the mill saw him jump up and make his way along the apron, going ashore on the other side or the river. Then he went down to the bridge and crossed above, but be- fore he went home he builtAa fire and dried his clothes, so that his parents would not learn what had happened.
 Dubreuil makes the third person to go over the dam, and he escaped much lighter than did the two before him. In 1877, during a freshet, George Blackmar. a carpenter in the mill and superintendent of the Sunday school, was rowing across the river. The strong current seized his boat and he was carried over to his death, his body not being found for several days.
 Some years later an old man named Lizotte, was picking up driftwood in a rOwbOat and he got too near the dam The man who was undertaken in Taftville at the time was coming down from Occum that day and he saw the man go over. He thought he saw job waiting for him and he has tened down to the river and he found the old man sitting in the bushes very much alive. He had come through with a shaking up, but that was all.

BABY WASTED 70 SKELETON

MY little son, when about year
and half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. had physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then /
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end Of about q
year and half of suffering he grew
so bad that had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
MY aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. ]
sent to drug store and got cake of
Cuticura Soap and a box of the ONT
ment and followed directions. At the
end Of two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores
of any kind since. can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. j used only one cake of

A Few Hints.

When buying box of laundry soap.
which is a good way to do. take u
from the box and pile 1t in dry place
where the air can circulate through
it. Dry soap spends much better than
green.
Turn the scrub brush bristles down
when drying and the moisture viii
drain out rather than soak into the
wood.
Velvet ribbons may be freshened by
steaming over wet cloth placed over
a hot iron.
Hem the dishcloths to save the lint
which ragged edges make. and such
cloths will be respected and better
used.
A nice umbrella should be carefully
dried before putting away. and never
left rolled in its case for any length
Of time. as 1t is apt to crack in the
folds.

'.The FIRST noticeable benefit derived
Fom the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action Of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
.Then i became less Respondent.
and the desire to be active again

mental strength.
