DANIELSON
E!opIng From Nashua, N. H., James 8. Brown and Miss Lena Biiadeau Are Married-John Bramble Dead Big Clean Up Day on Saturday.

Danielson was the site at noon l Wednesday of the continuation of a romance that had it's inception in 1 Nashua, N. H., from which city Miss Lena Biladeau. 21. and James S. Brown, 24 with two companions and a chauffeur to drive their touring car, l came here to wed.
 From what the groom said after the marriage it is evident that the couple eloped, for MT. Brown remarked that 'her mother objected so 1 thought l would just settle the matter in this way.''
 The marriage ceremony was per- formed in tlss office of Judge A. G. Bill. with all of the New Hampshire party and two local people as witnesses. Bundled up to the eyes in a great fur lined automobile coat that at first glance looked to weigh nearly as much as the petite bride herself, Miss Bila- deau answered the necessary ques- tions of Judge Bill through an inter preter for she does not speak Eng fish only a veery leetle." She agreed, through the interpreter who was evil dently close friend of hers, however, that she was perfectly willing to love, honor, and obey MT. Brown, who smiled beautifully as he listened to the announcement, knowing it's signif1- canoe, for he has been a widower for some time though only 24.
 
 was all very pleasant and happy, but not so the incidents and experiences leading up to it.
 Leaving Nashua at o'clock Tues day night, intent upon getting into Connecticut territory as quickly as possible, that the f1ve-days' notice of intent to marry might not be a stumbling block in their path, the elopement party began to have its troubles Not knowing the route, only in a general way, the car was repeatedly driven off the direct routes. Detours and doubling over strange roads ate up the time, miles, and gas oline in surprising way and it was Tot until noon of Wednesday that the machine was driven into Danielson and arrangements for getting a mar riage license were begun.
 The groom said that during the eighteen hours that the party was on the road the car had been driven from l25 to 15O miles: that the party had suffered from the cold of the early morning hours and from lack of food and that all the members of the party had been drenched in a driving rain storm. The troubles of the night were offset, though, by the joy of the hap py ending of the eIopement and though the calls for refreshments had been few and far between since they left their home city, Mr. and Mrs. Brown sat in the automobile after their mar riage enjoying feast of vision with each other, while the other three mem bers of the party went to lunch room to feast upon more substantial and more sustaining things of diet.
 The party started to make the trip back to New Hampshire after a stay of about an hour here.

Willimantic, Danielson and Putnam


High school, there suddenly came a very powerful electric current and flash. Assuming, as the electric contractors who installed the electric wiring at the High school building contend that the wiring was perfect, city officials think it probable that rats may have gnawed at the wires, making the insulation defective. When the extraordinary electric flash came, they think it more than reasonable that a spark may have caught in some corner of the building and developed into a blaze. A member of the school committee thinks this is the most req
 senable theory of the cause of the fire.

CLEAN UP SATURDAY.
Arranged by Civic Federation-Rub- bish to be carted Away From Yards and Streets,

These final three days of the week are to be busy ones for all interested in making Clean-Up week the success that it deserves to be- The plan is to have the assembling of refuse and rubbish completed by Saturday noon, so that there may be no delay for those in charge of the teams that have been so kindly loaned to the Civic Federation to be used in collecting the waste matter. The Young Bros company, A. F. Wood company. The Kennedy Corporation, Louis E. Kenne- dy and Willard Jordan have already agreed to furnish teams and the com mittee in charge of the work hopes to secure a similar agreement from oth- CTS.
 The teams will make trips about the borough collecting rubbish. This must be collected in boxes or barrels or other receptacles so that the work of the collectors may be facilitated. The drivers will not have time to do other than load onto their teams any lose material.
 Those who can make a contribu- ton to the drivers for carrying away any material will do so, the sum col lected to be divided among the owners of the teams, but those who cannot afford to pay will have any rubbish that they may have collected removed without charge. The committee has asked that the barrels or boxes con- taining material to be removed be left in conspicuous place, as to be readily seen by and made quickly accessible for the collectors.
 Announcements of what Is being done to make Danielson a borough beautiful have been made in the schools and the pupils will take an active part Saturday morning, in assisting in the work.

Find the Good in PeonIa.

If there isn't some good in everyone, what are they here for?
 Anybody can point out anybody else's bad qualities If you want to distinguish yourself go around point ing out good qualities.
 Pick out the man whom everyone dislikes. Select the one you feel could best be spared from your office. from your circle of acquaintances from the community in which you live. Ask yourself if there isn't something good about him.
 Put him on mental dissecting table. Cut him to pieces and see what's in him. Remember-you are looking for the good. Throw away the bad in him and forget it. Make list of his good qualities. It will surprise you how many you can find.
 "The next time you hear him criti- cized, tell people the things you know about him-the good things. You'Il at least be different and you'll find that it does you more good than 1t does him.
 How would you feel if you knew about you talked only about what was bad ill you You know it's there, plenty or it, but you'd rather not have it talked about. It's much nicer to have only your good points discussed.
 Give the other fellow the kind Of deal you like yourself. If you can say nothing good about him. say nothing.
 There are mighty few people in the world we can't say something good about if we try. The trouble is, we don't try.
 And yet. the more good you find in other people the more good other peo- pie will find in you.
 Women, too, can make this expert n1ent-American Magazine.
