over whether l have left the matches
loose On the fireplace mantel or not,
Or whether [ emptied the pint bottle
Of ink tfst will drip over the books
If 1t freezes and breaks. l can't quite
tell whether | remembered to empty
all the flower vases, either, and then
Henry left box full of cigars on the

when We reach the city we are so
exhausted from WEAKNESS ana wrath
and nervousness that we aren't on

 When the car stopped in Grove street, he aIighted and from remarks he made at the time 1t was evident that he believed he had reached At tawaugan cSossing. Where he spent the interval until he was killed is not known.
 When the body was brought here, letters in the mans pocket gave the first clue to his Identity.
 An examination of the body showed that at some time Bamford had suf- fered a severe injury to his right leg, which is disfgured by great scar.
 It is probable that some time toay relatives will claim the body, which was viewed after the accident by Med ical Examiner Dr. ] .Bryden Kent.
 Nominees Without Opposition.
 When it comes to a consideration of Windham county politics in the begin ming of this last month of 1912, the feature that strikes the hardest ard sinks deepest into the minds of the political observers is the fact that, as far as Putnam and Willimantic are concerned Archie Macdonald and Dan ne Dunn have all competition for the offices of chief executive Of their re- specttve cities beaten to frazzle and stewed in oil
 Here in Putnam Mayor Macdonalds s supporters will go to the polls next Monday tD vote for a nian against whom no candidate is nominated. It took about half a hundred trials to get man to run against Mayor Dunn over in Wil.imantic- The one great political difference between Mayor Ar chic and Mayor Dannie, as they are known to about everyone, Is in their Iarty affiliations, the former being republican. the latter @ democrat, oth- erWiEe they gro very much alike. Both have given their cities satisfactory ad- mintstrations. In discussing the mat ter here Friday afternoon it was sug- gested by one of 8 group of Wtlli- mantle and Putnam men that it would be some fun to see the two mayors resident in the same city-Putnam or Willtnantic-and candidates for may or Matching two champions has al- ways been apt to stir thinRS up and in this case it would be a safe bet that General Apathy would not be as much in evidence as at present. in the two cities mentioned. When two Elks lock horns something might be ex- pected to happen.
