her way. Lastly, he noted two
large diamond rings on her fin

Mars joined the two other
men, and the three agreed they
were following a sonambulist.
They then took counsel as to how
to proceed. and it was decided to
get a doctor. A neighboring

Pupil at Wequonnoc Found to Have Snailpox-The Two Schools Have Been Closed

During the morning recess Friday at the Wequonnoc schools one of the teachers sent Patrick Donahue over to the Sacred Heart school to be ex- amined by pr. George Thompson, who was busy vaccinating the children there, as the boy had a noticeable rash about his face and neck, and the teacher thought it possible he had smallpox Dr. Thompson examined the boy and deciding that he had a case of smallpox, sent the boy to his home on Norwich avenue and later quarantined the house. As the source of contagion seems to be in the schools, it was decided best to close both of the Wequonnoc schools as a matter of precaution. When the chil- dren in the Wequonnoc schools return ed for the afternoon session the teach CTS told them that the schools had been closed until after the regular Christmas vacation. and that they all were to report at the school building Monday morning to be vaccinated. or else report at the doctors office. Fri day practically all of the pupils of the Sacred Heart school were vaccinated by Drs. Thompson and Pratte.

The directors of The Eaton Chase Company desire to spread on the rec ords of the Company an expression of the affection and esteem in which they held their late associate, MT. Thomas B. Leahy, and their great sorrow at his death in the midst of his years Of greatest usefulness.
 His whole business life of hfty-thfee years was passed in the service of this firm By his long and honorable career he added to the prestige of a Iongees- tablished mercantile house and mdin- tained the early traditions of our New England merchants for fair and square dealing His rule of life was to serve not only the interests of the firm bu of the customers as wcll.
 Tn his daily life he was the constant bearer of the troubles and dehnquencies of others. but he carried his own bur dens so that others were unconscious Of them He was firm in his, principles others loyal in his friendships and gentle in his oppOSitOns.
 We realize that by Mir. Ieahy s death we have lost the cOmradeship and advice and cooperation of one whose life was an unusual eHempllhca- tion of the Golden Rule
