a LITTLE girl ran away from

cause the girl who sat in front Of
her shifted when the teacher
asked what the little girl in the
back seat was called.

the little girl in front. II never
met her" And she tossed her
silly little added pate into the
air, and looked as scornful as she
conveniently could. All the other
girls Uttered and the boys
grinned, and the little girl in the
back seat simply couldn't stand It
another day, so she ran away and
went and walked into a pond and
tried to drown.
When they carried her home
her mother found out all about
what a bad time she'd been hav-
ing at school, go she kept her at
home a few days and then sent
her to another school, where the
girls weren't such geese, or at
least where they didn't dare to
show It If they were.

LONG WATTS AT > THAMES RIVER BRIDGES
Protests of Masters and Pilots Receive
 Attention from Railroad.

Long waits for the draws Of the two bridges of the New York, New be avoided if the promised remedies by the company work as intended. Eureka harbor, No. 8, Masters Mates and Pilots Protective association, pro- tested to the public utilities commits sion against the tardiness with which the Thames river bridge and the ShaWs cove bridge were opened in response to steamers whistles. It was suggested to the railroad company by the commission that prompt remedies be applied and today the committee of the association was notified of it's intent to do so.
 Eureka harbor took up the matter directly after steamer Tasco YVES held up for tbout 45 minutes at Thames river bridge. This delay happened during the fire aboard tug Gertrude at Riverside shipyard The Tasco was called by wireless from Scotts' and as she was entering the harbor crowded on full steam. Long before the steamer reached the required dis tance from the bridge she signalled for it to open. It was alleged that the draw not only did not open but that the whistle on the bridge did not respond. The inference was that there was not enough steam up on the boil CTS to blow the whistle and that as soon as the whistle sounded the draw began to operate.
 Regarding the Shaw's cove bridge the protest related that tugs, yachts and smaller boats were delayed for long periods. Capt. Frank Johnson and Capt. s. NJ. Marsters, the com mittee from Eureka harbor. pointed out that the bridge tender was a crip- pie who was not able to get about rapidly and besides had to fill lamps and do work at remote parts of the Fort Neck freight yard. They believed they said that he was performing his duty to the best of his ability but that Q
 The railroad company has agreed to station an operator at the Thames river bridge and to relieve the tele- graph operator of the responsibility for opening and closing the draw. Be- tween May and October the company will assign man to the Shaw's cove bridge, who will attend solely to the operation of the electric motors by which the bridge is opened and closed A bell will also be provided by which the bridge tender may answer signals and signal steamers when it Is inn possible to open the bridge on the ap- proach of a train.
 The committee which had the mat ter in charge expressed satisfaction with the proposed arrangements.

erty should arise. The way around from Trading Cove and past the Fair Grounds to West Main street at the Backus corners could be developed, or the effort centered on the road on the east side of the river to Grotcn as an- other way of entrance to the city for travellers from the south.
 Others spoke along the same line. and President Macpherson said that he would be in favor of making an inn proyement here that would last for all time, and if the property owners along this street could not see that the the value of their old property and thus be cause for reasonable yalua- tfons, he would be in favor of dropping the plan and taking up the road on the east side of the river to Groton.
 On MontvilIe Telephone Exchange.
 F. W. Cary, who had arrived late re- ported for special committee ap- pointed to consider the matter of the new Montville telephone exchange. He said that the committee had been in consultation with. General Manager Knight of the Telephone company and had learned from him that or account of the strong opposition that had devel- oped in Montville against the institu- ulon of the exchange, although there was also strong sentiment for it, the Telephone company had decided not to do anything about the exchange just now. But it had the new switchboard ordered and would hold it in reserve, expecting that it would come into use at some future time when the opposi- tion to the exchange was not so strong. MT. Cary explained that when the ex- change was put in telephone subscrib- CTS fn the Norwich exchange would be able to make Montville calls without calling for toll line''
 MT Cary was thanked for the re- port by the president.
 Buffet Lunch.
 The meeting then adjourned for q social half hour, in which a buffet lunch was served by the Wauragan house. The tasty menu consisted of golden consomrne in cups, chicken croQuets, bechamel bread and butter sandwiches, chocolate eclairs and cof- fee. Chairman A. $. Spalding of the entertainment committee was in charge of this part of the evening.

WILL EXPLAIN
 WORkMEN'S COMPENSATION. Professor Fisher of MiddIetown to Be Here Under c. l.. u. Auspices.

An invitation to an open meeting at the Davis theater next Sunday, at which the WOrhmen's compensation act will be explained, has been issued by the Norwich Central Laoor union. The invitation reads:
 The Central Labor union of Nor wich urgently requests your presence at an open meeting for the explanation of the workmen's compensation act IS presented by the Connecticut Fedora tion of Labor at the Davis theater, Sunday, March 9th, at 3 D. m. Prof. Willard c. Fisher late professor of economies at Wesleyan university, former mayor of Middletown. and one of the men to draft the bill of 1911, will be the speaker of the day.
 Professor Fisher has made a study of working conditions and is today one of the most thoroughly versed men on the proper form of worl&rnen's compensation. He has appeared time and time again before the legislature in behalf of the bill he will explain.
 That this bill covers a class of peo- pie that is far remote from organized labor, in fact, about everyone that works in any mercantile establish ment, should be sufficient reason for your attendance. That the expense that you, an employe, will have to stand. is the lowest in this bill of any presented, should also mean much to you. That for the protection of your home and family, if an employe, iD case your father. mother or sister is hurt through perhaps no fault of theirs, indeed it does interest you and you should show your interest in the compensation act as presen ted to our present legislature, to attend for a few hours and be made thoroughly con versant with it's making.
 We desire the presence of the ladies of our city and most especially those who will be liable to come under the provisions of this act.
 The meeting is free to everyone, no cards or tickets being necessary, and for the convenient seating of the audience. the doors will open at 2.30. Music by union orchestra.
