Philip Comtois, 15, a runaway from his home in Northbridge, Mass, was delivered over to his father by Pro- bation Officer A. w. Bowen Thursday afternoon and taken back to his home town and the slipper that awaited him and the chances that his father would show a batting average equal to J. Franklin Bakers.
 Philip left his home in Northbr1dge Wednesday, ran away when 1t was supposed that he had started for school as usual. Late Wednesday afternoon he was picked up by tel ephone lineman, who met him on the road near Grosvenordale. Philips story did not sound like the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; so when Putnam was reached the boy was turned over to Sergeant Patrick Hayes, who locked him up at the police station.
 One of the various stories he told was that his mother had given him money to go and visit with an uncle in Pawtucket, but this later proved to be untrue. Philips father had just returned from Pawtucket Thursday where he had been looking for Philip when a telephone message from Put nam brought him the information that the boy was held in this city.
 The father arrived here on the 3.10 train from Worcester, was taken to the police station by Probation Officer Bo- wen and the boy was turned over to him. Philip could not tell the whole truth about his experiences since leav- ing home even to his father-but that will probably be attended to later.

 Have Two Session Day.

There was, a special session of the town school committee Thursday eve ming from until after 1E o'clock All of the nine members were present ex- cepdng George A. Hammond. The principal subject for discussion was the matter of having one session daily at the high school instead of two as at present A great deal was said pro and con on this matter, but when it came to the vote there was a tie, four and four, so the school will continue to have two sessions. It was voted to have another assistant teacher at the high school at salary of $500 and also to have a new teacher at the Smith street school where there has been only two teachers since the prin- cipal. Miss Edith AT. Kent, was trans ferred to he teacher in the eighth grade at the high school. Another teacher is required at the Smith street school because the attendance has increased from 54 to over T5. The matter of es- tablishfng a manual training system al the high school was discussed at some length but it was finally decided to lay the matter upon the table It was also decided that the schools will be in session on Columbus day, which comes Monday of next week.

sNoRED AT JUDGES DOOR.
Yet John Smith, Wanderer, Got But
 Thirty Days in Jail.

Knowledge that he had disturbed the slumbers of the judge before whom he was to be presented in the city court, Thursday morning, was the means of unnerving John Smith 50, residence changeabIe, locked up late Wednesday night by Sergeant Patrick Hayes.
 On the advice of someone who evil dently wanted to play a joke on him, Smith went up into the Fuller build ing in Union street and stretched himself on the doormat at the en- trance to Judge l.. H. Fuller's apart ments. His hard wood couch evil dently proved to his liking and he was soon wrapped in slumber, his rumbling snores breaking harshly on the quiet of the peaceful surroundings.
 Judge Fuller, very amiable man, is not easily disturbed, not even by the trains that work up and down the nearby railroad yards every night, but Smiths snoring had it over any lit tie disturbance like that and the judge sent out for Sergeant Hayes, who con- ducted Smith to the station, where he could snore and snore at will
 In court Thursday morning, Judge Fuller gave Smith some timely advice; also 30 days in jail. After the hearing an officer on duty at the station mock seriously said to Smith You're lucky he didn't give you ten years for that. sound sleep in the middle of the fight"
 Smith gasped. Believe me" he said, '1 must be some lucky fellow to get off as easy as that-only 30 days! You bet I'll keep away from Putnam after this, Ten years! Goodnight, Putnam"
