with equal sides was measured and
a combatant placed at each angle. 1t
was arranged SO tht two should fire
at each other. while the third should
pop away indscriminately at either
OF the others. That seems TO be the
way in which the presidential fight is
going on. Woodrow Wilson is the
third man.

BROKE WINDOW FOR BOOZE

A big stone was used to break out plate glass window in the liquor store of J. A. Gagne, Pomfret street, during the early hours of Wednesday The break was not discovered until after daylight A jug of sherry and some bottles filled with whiskey were stolen. Indications are that the break was made by tramps. Fol lowing out this theory, Captain Mur- ray started an investigation during the forenoon. At point in the brush near the long bridge on the main line of the Midland division he came upon camp of nearly a score of hoboes He did not recover the stolen liquors, but had the astisfae- tion of driving the boes on their way. Later in the day evidence came to the attention of the police that seemed to confirm the belief that the tramps got away with the drinks.

Obituary
STEPHEN MORSE.

On Monday Of last week passed away one of the old and lifelong residents of
 N oodstock, stephen Morse. He was born on June 2S, 1920 in the house in which he died; so al the time of his death he had passed the threshold of his 93rd year. The fourth son of Leon- ard and Remember Meacham Morse, he was the survivor of five brothers, who all lived to mature age, one of them, Nelson Morse, having lived well into his 94th year. These six sons did not know by experience what 1t was to have a sister, and the subject of this sketch never married. He had nephews and Eeiees, however, whom he seemed in sense to regard as his foster child ren. He was distant relative Of Sam nel Finley Breeze Morse of electric telegraph fame, whose father, Jedediah Morse, the geographer, was born in Woodstock. MT. Morse was a public spirited citizen, but of retiring disposi- ton. He shrank from everything that would tend to make him personally conspicuous. In politics he was an earnest republican from the founding of the republican party, and was one of the Woodstock representatives in the General Assembly i'll 1886. He had positive convictions and was outspoken in declaring them. He had qualities that are essential to every good citizen.
