 As they entered the train to take their departure typewritten cards as follows were passed to the other pas sengers in the car by friends of the couple:
 Ladies and Gentlemen:
 We wish to call your attention to the fact that this train is honored by . pair of turtle doves.
 They are easily distinguished by their very good looks and nervous be- havior.
 We wish to beg the kind considera- ton of the public in their behalf, and to assure you that the various eccen- tricities displayed by them are not . form of insanity, but simply nervous ness caused by the fact that they are afraid everyone will discoverlthat they are newly-weds. They are harmless and happy.

The Mechanicsville Strike

There have been scarcely any new developments in the strike at the French River Textile company's mill, Meehanicsville, the past week. The strikers and company seemingly are no nearer together than week ago. AS far as general interest Is concerned it has died down, and only now and then is heard an expression sdeploring the situation and hoping for speedy starting of the mill.
 Writs were served on number of the families warning them to vacate the eompany's tenements within ten days. Some have already left,of their own initiative as quite number have sought work elsewhere. The strikers have had several meetings, but appar- ently the attendance is dropping off. The out t-of-tewn leaders have mostly gone to other places.

Returned to Reform School

Hector Brouder, l7, of Webster, and Charles Winters, 2, of Philadelphia, were captured by Officers Hayes and McGuire Saturday evening and locked up on a charge of breaking and enter ing. Brouder confessed but said that Winters had no part In, nor knowl- edge of, the affair and as an investiga- ton by the police developed no evil dence against Winters he was allowed his freedom Monday morning.
 Brouder broke into Barber's bakery Friday night by pushing open door. He stole five pies and some money. MT. Barber says he was short about SIS but Brouder says that he only got a dollar or two.
 Saturday morning he broke into the home of Frederick Reynolds on Bolles Army barracks and when Mir. Rey- holds heard his hard luck story he told him to come to his house Satur- day morning and perhaps he could do something for him. He showed up at the Reynolds home and was given some breakfast. When MT. Reynolds went to work he locked the house and hid the key. Brouder saw where he put the key and returning short time later he used it to gain entrance to the house. He took ring, fountain pen, watch and chain and little money. Most of this property was subsequent ly recovered, in tact, all but a little money which had been spent.
 It seems that Brouder had been con- fined in the Lyman School at West boro, Mass, reform institution, when very young boy. He had been re leased on parole and had been at hii home in Webster. Early Monday morning the superintendent of thu school called up on the telephone ant requested that the boy be returned t' them as he was only out on parole an' ] was committed until he was twenty one. The officials decided to grant tn request and an officer from the schoc , came for Brouder who had previousl consented to go back.

Through his active and prom inent affiliations with Putnam lodge of Elks, Cargill council, K. of C., Put, nam division A. o. H., Putnam nest of Owls, F. of A, and other fraternal organizations and his general interest and generosity toward public events and affairs he has won host of friends who will exceedingly regret to learn of his intended departure.
 MT. Dwyer intends to go to Edmon- ton, Alberta, Canada. He has been interested by reading of this fast de- yeloping country and believes it a broad field where the possibilities of success are assured. His brother, P. o. Dwyer, has been there for five years past and has been most success tul financially.
