Sonora de Riano, wife of the
Spanish minister, was Miss Alice
Ward of New York before her
marriage. She made her winter
home in Washington with her
grandmother for several a
and there met Senior de Riano.
She is just the type of roman
whom a Spanish gentleman would
naturally admire, a brunette with
dark, sparkling eyes and the 1.-the
figure to dance a "chachucha'' with
consummate ease. Since their
marriage, Senior and Sonora de
Riano have lived at Europe
capitals, visiting this country
every year.

M. H. Finnegan Killed.

Moses II. Finnegan of South Pom
fret was killed by a kick from a
horse Tuesday afternoon. He was
riding in wagon with Henry l..
Howe and Mino Harris and two
horses were led behind the team.
Mr.. Finnegan had young colt by
the halter and when the colt came
up one side near the wheels Mr..
Finnegan used a whip lightly to send
him back. The colt jumped and
kicked, one hoof striking him near
the heart and the other crushing his
skull with blow in the forehead.
Mr. Finnegan fell from the wagon,
dying almost instantly.
Either wound would have been
fatal. said DIR. A. @. Eastman, who
was called and reached the scene in
his motor in very few minutes.
One of the colts hoofs barely
missed Mr.. Howe's head. The ami
NAL is not vicious, and it is supposed
merely kicked up in an excess OF
coltish spirits.
Mr.. Finnegan, who was prosper
Gus young farmer and owner of a
well equipped mill for the making of
cider and apple jelly, was about 81
wears old. He leaves wife and his
mother. Mrs. Clark.
The funeral was held Friday
morning at the Catholic church in
Woodstock, and the body was taken
TO Stowe for interment.

WOODSTOCK NEWS
A Dangerous Crossing.

Motorists and others are calling
attention to the peril of the railway
crossing at the south end of the COW
cred bridge at Taftsville. To motor
or carriage coming through the
bridge from the north side of the
river the track westward is com
pletely hidden by trees and shrub
bery-a board fence 20 feet high
wouldn't hide it more effectively
Trains of course are not going to
speed at this point, but the danger
remains. An automobile, for in
stance, makes some noise itself in
crossing the bridge. and this lessons
the chance of its occupants hearing
a whistle or the rumble of fast or
slow moving train, while the track
down the river cannot be seen until
the rails are reached.
These dangerous conditions could
be largely remedied for the present,
until the crossing itself is eliminated,
and it is understood that the some
times slow and cautious public SER
vice commission has it on its list
by cutting down obstructing trees
for a reasonable distance, and this
should be done at once.

ADVICE TO BOYS AND GIRLS

Save your pennies and send them
to the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That Bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why
Because it wishes to encourage
the children to be frugal and to have
a little bank account of their own,
even though the initial deposit is the
smallest possible sum.
Children who commence an
account on a penny, nickel or a
dime, often grow into capitalists
later on.
The way to become a capitalist is
to commence now to save the
pennies.
