DR.. b. /. Riley brought down a 225
pound, 7-pronged buck deer on Tuesday
evening at S O'Clock on the river near
South Charlestown. Dr. Riley noticed
the deer near the tracks and the deer
wandered across the field near the Bros
nahan cottage. Philip Beauleu, who was
with the doctor at the time, hurried to
North Walpole and w. +. Riley skated
up river with a rife. The deer at this
time started to cross the ice and when
some distance from shore DR.. Riley sent
a bullet to a vital spot and the deer went
down. 1t is a fine specimen of its kind.

having to draw it from long distances for
their cattle and for family use. The Con
necticut has fallen during the last two
weeks and is now so low as to require
the shutting down of a part Of the mills
here. At Minards pond the water sup
ply is about 2lA feet above the point
where il was a year ago. and the indica-
tons are that rain or a thaw taking the
present supply of snow into the reservoir

Lewis c. Lowell. who has been having
litigation for the past year or two with
the Boston & Maine railroad over a
we're injury to one OF his valuable trotting
horses while being shipped in a car to
which an accident occurred at Aver,
Mass, won verdict recently before the
supreme court in New Hampshire. That
court has remanded the case for retrial
in the lower courts. The question was
whether the usual value limit of a rail-
road of 800 should be the basis of set
Element, The lower court decided this to
be the limit under the contract but now
the supreme court holds that to be an
error and the true value of the animal,
which was much greater, can be shown.
During the noon hour Friday an alarm
from box 49, located under the hill''
brought the fire department to a smudge
which was in progress in the basement
under No. engine room of the Inter
national Paper company. 1t evidently
arose from hot box and practically no
damage was done beyond damage to
stock and loss of time from the shut
ting down of the mill for an hour or
two. Again at about IL o'clock Monday
night an alarm from box 70 located in
the square, was found to be caused by
an extensive FIRE in progress across the
river in North Walpole. Two large build
ings located on Centre street, formerly
occupied for saloons and dwellings and
owned by Dennis Brennan, were ablaZe,
North Walpole officials had called for
help from our department and both the
chemical wagon and the engine went
there. 1t was impossible to get water
enough to save the two buildings, but
the engine prevented the spread of the
fire to other buildings.

more noise. The music of the band was
drowned by the cheers and yells OF the
youngsters. Chief Of Police Wilson clear

Santa Claus climbed to the decorated
wagon The band worked with a will, not

cause Santa Claus does not come to Brat
tleboro every day
The parade started, led by the platoon
of police, the crowd followed as far as the
department store and all the way Santa

teams and an electric car were brought
to a standstill AS many as possible
surged into the store and Santa began
work in the toy shop that had been built
for him. The platoon Of police consisted
of George Daley, Edward Shea and Law
renee Gorborino, three grammar school
boys, dressed in polcemen's outfits. Bryan
Gale acted as special escort to Santa.
Chief Wilson and officer Belden remain
ed in the rear and kept the little folks
from falling under the wheels Of the

Santa Claus blocked traffic on Main
street Saturday afternoon and was de-
lighted with the reception he received in
Brattleboro. f. j. Fenton & Co. had
made arrangements for him to arrive on
the O'Clock train from the north and had
planned rousing welcome for him. At
100 o clock the LIST Regiment band formed
in front of the town hall and led by
platoon of police, marched to Fenton's
store where a concert was given. Here
a gaily decorated wagon with George Will
cult, dressed in a red suit and green hat
and driving four prancing steeds, joined
the procession. In less time than it takes
to tell it the wagon was filled with a
joyous crowd of laughing, red-faced ex-
cited children. The street in front OF the
store was crowed when the procession
started for the station to meet Santa
Claus.
The train was only a few minutes late
and as the engine pulled into the station
the band started a lively tune, the Riddles
began to yell and finally the train came to
a stop. Santa was in the last car, dressed
in his regula ton suit of red. a pack upon
his back and wearing long white whiskers
and locks. As he came down the steps
he lighted a monstrous T. d. pipe and
surveyed the crowd which was out to

Tuberculosis Germs.

IF a person VINO has tuberculosis
drinks out of a cup and then another
nerson should drink out of the same
Gun before the cup has been washed
the germ may be transmitted in TINS
way." says James Jenkins jr. in Wo-
mans Home Companion for OCTOBER.
"Roiling water kills germs as effectively
as any antiseptic, and dishes should
never be considered absolutely clean that
have not been washed in this way Two
persons should never use the same tower.
The plan of individual washstands which
is so commonly used on the continent IN
Europe. should be more generally ADOPT
ed in America. ,.
IF you have telephone in your mouse,
the mouthpiece of the telephone should
be cleaned every day. just as we clean
the dishes we use on the table, ana
should be thoroughly disinfected at least
twice a week. Germs of pneumonia
bronchitis, tuberculosis and other Things
NAV be caught from a telephone.
"a good formula for a disinfectant Is
a few drops of formaldehyde IN Two
ounce bottle of water, adding enough
extract of lavender or some other pleas
ant-smelling extract so that the odor
remaining after the mouthpece is clean
ed will be agreeable. Any druggist
could mix such a dsinfectant for you
very easily and inexpensively.
