tilted on the back of the chair. Sud-
denly two sparrows which had been
fighting in mid-air swooped violently
across the porch and either beak or
talon of one caught in the flesh OF
the sleeping mans neck, tearing a
large jagged wound and cutting the
jugular vein.
Blood spurted in large stream
from the wound. When Mrs. Doll came
to the porch from the kitchen her hus-
band lay unconscious on the floor. Ell
forts to check the flow OF blood were
futile, and Doll expired before physi-

PERKINS, GENEROSITY
Brought "Good Cheer To Many Rural
Firesides."

Editorial in New Fork Herald
There has been feeling of hospi-
tally toward Mr. George r. Perkins
ever since it became known that he
contributed about $4,000. theoretical
ly supposed to belong TO the policy
holders of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, to the funds of Re-
publican national committee. That
feeling ought now to abate.
Mr.. Perkins, with some heat, has
made statement covering much of
his activity, perhaps net all, as a
Santa Claus to political committees
with his own money. He appears to
have given with the prodigality and
open-handednes of the Wilkes Barre
man who was a millionaire for day
Mr.. Perkins gave to the Roosevelt
fund, to the Barnard fund, to the
Stimson fund and to the Taft fund
He gave with his right hand and he
gave with his left and then. not weary
of doing good. he appears to have
given with both hands at once when
unpaid bills at the end of campaigns
were presented to him, He still holds
the note of Mr.. George r. Sheldon for
$4,000, which he paid after Mr.. Taft's
wealthy relatives" ceased to interest
themselves. Mr.. Taft having meantime
been elected.
1t is blessed to give, an one stands
almost mute in considering the good
cheer that Mr.. Perkins money carried
to rural firesides on so many election
days. 1t is the best way to advance
the uplift among the farmers.

Ie SUMMER COLDS
Are Considered by Doctors More Dam ferons Than Winter Colds.

A person is quite as apt to catch cold in the summer as in the winter, but it is harder to cure cold in the summer than in the winter. In winter the brac- ing air assists the remedy to overcome the cold, but the sultry, depressing weather of summer retards the cure of colds.
 The public is much interested in knowing remedy thatwill successfully cope with summer colds. A remedy that covers just such cases is Peruna' Experience has taught that it is the one remedy that promptly expels sum- mer colds of every character and de' scription.
 Miss Ivy Gray, Fairview, Ky, says AI have taken Peruna, and would say that it is the best medicine for coughs and colds I ever saw. I find that it always cures cold in short while. It also strengthens and builds up the sys- tem."

NO CASE PROVEN
 AGAINST Lo5sTERMEN
George and EImer-Lewis Acquitted of Charee-Henry Lewis Trial on De- tober 12.

The second attempt to prove a case against fishermen in the vicinity of Stonington for violation of the lobster laws failed in town court here Thurs
 day afternoon, when George Wilcox and Elmer Wilcox of Quiambaug were acquitted of the charge of selling short Holsters on information furnished Prosecuting Attorney Hewitt by Game Wardens Pease and Davis In passing judgment in this case, Judge Breed was confronted with the testimony as offered by Pease and Davis that Pease had bought fish and Holsters from the Wilcox brothers for S1.6o and the tes- timony of the Wilcoxes that Pease had bought nothing whatever from them except maokerel for 75 cents. The sit uatiOn was that. as referred to by Herbert w. Rathbun, one of the law yers for the defense, of a question as to whether "spotter testimony was superior to the testimony of two good citizens of this town" Judge Breed stated that the evidence left him not satisfied beyond 8 reasonable doubt of the guilt of the accused and he 1 declared the Wicoxss not guilty and acquitted. There is now left for trial as the result of the activities of Pease l and Davis the case against Henry | Lewis of Fitchville, which has been continued to October 12, and the case against Moses Il. Wilcox, also charged with having short Holsters, which lat ter will come up in the Stonington court this Saturday. morning at 9.90 l o'clock. Another interesting develop ment in the proceedings on Thursday | is the confession of B. Lynn Pease | to eating seized and short Holsters, and the testimony of B. Hart Geer of Hadlyme, fisheries and game commits
 sioner, that he had given Pease au- thority to do so.
