 Lowered to half-mast it signifies mourning, but it is raised always to the top before being finally lowered, to show the stability of our govern ment.
 The flag, correctly made, has inch stripes measuring half the length in inches of the flag; longest measure ment and the field measure seven stripes deep and two-fifths across the length of the flag.
 The colors, too, have their mean inS-the red Signffying courage; the white, purity; the blue, loyalty-qual- ities which each should carry into his own life
 Although there are many great peri ods in o.r history. none has been so great as this in what has been ac- ccmphshed along all lines; and those living today should more than any who have been before them honor the flag by carrying into their lives the qualities it represents.
 At the close of the address the chiI- drcn saluted the flag. Following this, the song America was sung.
 As their class gift, the graduates have presented to the school fine flag. which is now in place in the 9th grade room.

NORWICH TOWM MAN
 STRUCK BY TRAIN.
Harry Cook, Teamster, Had Fortunate
 Escape in New London.

Harry Cook of Norwich Town, a teamster, 34 years old. had a miraeu- lous escape from death Tuesday night while walking the New Haven tracks near the New London depot. He was struck by the cowcatcher of the engine on freight train B H T, which he did not see coming, and was tossed into the air and thrown to one side of the track. Ordinarily such blow would have meant instant death. As it was, four ribs on the left side were broken his arms and legs were bruised and there was a lacerated wound on the left leg below the knee.
 A doctor was summoned at once and ordered the man taken to Memorial hospital where his injuries were att tended to. No fatal outcome was an ticipated although in such cases there is always chance that some internal injury may appear in a day or two that was not apparent at first.
 Cook was conscious at the hospital and said that he had no recollection of the train hitting him. He is mar ried and was on his way home when the accident happened

New London Man Found It Being Put

 This man went into the country to buy a herd of cattle several years ago and tried to bargain with one of the farmers of whom he purchased cattle for the care of the animals over night. The genuine Yankee farmer put on such high price that the cat tie buyer started for Norwich, the nearest city. in q resolve not to be the victim of exorbitant rates. Farther along the road the man with the cattle found his horse was getting tired and that he would not be able to drive the cattle ahead of him in the dark. He drove up to a farmhouse and inquired of the owner. who was a Hebrew, if he could obtain accommodation for the cattle and horse for the night, in- tfmating that the barn floor would do for him.
 The Gentle was surprised by the Hebrew farmer turning his cattle out to pasture, stabling his horse and in- viting him to the house. The hospi- tality accorded him was genuine and unstinted In the morning when ce inquired how much the bill would be, the Gentle was informed that no good Jew would charge for siIch service to a fellow man.

 With that idea in view, MT. Eccles recently purchased the L4anman resi- dence, in Washington street. which he is to occupy soon- He will, however. continue to be the agent of the mill foi some time longer. Mir. Eccles is one with the cotton manufacturing busi, ness in New England. A thoroughly placticaI man in his line, his experi- ence, dating back to his early boyhood days, extends through the mechanical as well as the business portion of the business.
 His early connection with the cotton manufacturing business was begun wren F years old in his native town of Pdeston, Lancashire, England. He learned the weaving business there, and displayed an aptness and ability from the start which secured for him rapid promotion Coming to this coun- try in 1865, he was first employed in the Knight factory at Hebronville, R. l., which hs left to accept better po- sition with the GrosveEOrdale company when Lucius Briggs was agent He left there alter three years to take enLlTe charge of the Putnam Manufacturing company's plant, where he remained until 1871. when he left to come here to take charge of the entire weaving force of the Ponemah mill as over seer.
 Mr. Eccles has advanced with this great industry, one of New England : largest, and after being overseer of the weaving department for 19 years was made superintendent iE 1890, and he has since held that office. After 1885, when Agent J.. S. Atwood died the office of agent. was left vacant until few years ago, when MT. Eccles was appointed to that position in addi- tion to superintendent.
 MT. Eccles came here before the mill was put in operation, and knows il thoroughly from one end to the other It has been practically tripled in size since that time, and The Ponemat Mills are among the largest in the country.
