He will remove his household goods this week and he and his wife will leave Friday. Joe Mitchell Chappell, pro- prietor of the New England Magazine, in an address before the Connecticut Editorial association recently, said: "I love to hear the click Of the type, the rumble of the press and even the smell of printers ink. Nothing else holds such fascination for me.o This might have been truthfully said by every one of the seventy-five who lis- tened to him. And 1t is this fascina- tion, we believe, that calls Mir.

Fell into Elevator We'll

Ernest B. Kent, of the firm of C. M t. X E. B. Kent, fell into an elevator well at the Manhasset Mfg. Company $ mill Tuesday morning and was taken to his home unconcious. He did not regain consciousness for two hours. An examination was made and it was found that no bones were broken and, although he is suffering excruciating pain in the back, 1t is believed that he sustained no dangerous injury.
 MT. Kent was laying a floor and while busy at something stepped off backwards into the elevator shaft fall ing a distance of fifteen feet and iand- ing on iron ,beams. When he was picked up 1t was at first thought that he was dead and it seemed to those fa- miliar with the place and manner of his fall that death was certain. That he was not killed could hardly be credited.
