the accident happened. and Mrs. Pratt had come out to see it go away.
 Taken to Hospital.
 After doing everything that could De done for the injured man, who remain ed conscious excepting for few m1n- utes he was taken back to the cross ing and put aboard a train, which took him to the Day Kimban hospital at Putnam. Dr. Judson accompanied him to the institution. Pratts injuries In addition to the hole in his back, which is tho most serious, include scalp wound which one stitch was sufficient to close, and two broken ribs. It was necessary to remove splinters Of these ribs at the hospital. It was found that neither the kidney nor lungs were ruptured Pratt has fair chance of recovery, although the effect of the terrible injury to his back cannot be accurately forecasted.
 Terrific Crash.
 The crash of the locomotive against the big and heavily loaded truck was terrific and the instant application of air by Engineer Thomas O'NeiH accen : tuated the shock that threw passen- gers out of their seats in the cars, but injured none of them Roadmaster George Blythe of Putnam was riding in the locomotive and was an eye wit ness of the accident. Railroad men marveled that the train was not de- rallied, but it so happened that the truck slid along the rails ahead of the engine which could not be stopped before traVersing approximately 300 feet. Ties were broken apart US though they had been matches. The roadbed was considerably torn up and damaged and the track force had to be called out to make repairs later in the day.
 Truck Reduced to Junk.
 When the train was brought to a stop, what was left of the truck, which was an Alec, put in service the first of tie present season, was damned under the pilot. This part was the chassis. crumpled up like a roll of old tin. The big body and other parts were scattered along the track and be- side the bank the entire distance from the crossing. What was left of the truck apparently could not be sold for more than the price of old iron, al- though the damage to the engine, which was broken, was not entirely evident. Many hundreds quickly gath cred to view the wreck and pronounced the truck the worst smashed machine they had ever seen. Nearly two score men were needed to pull the steel chassis of the truck off the track so that traffic could be resumed and push 1 it down the bank. Big cakes of ice were scattered along the east side of the track.
 Driver Meunier said that he did not hear the signal bell, although it con i tinued to ring after the accident, and that he did not see the train until ii was too late to prevent an accident His only chance. he instantly realized was to jump and he took it and man | aged to make little less than a mirac- lsulous escape

TRAIN STRIKES TRUCK.
George Pratt and severain Meunier Failed to Hear Bell at Franklin Street Crossing.

George Pratt was seriously if not fa- tally injured in sight of his home jus. before 10 o'clock Saturday morning and Severain Meunier had ha.r- breadth escape from death, when the big autotruck in which they were rid ing was struck at the Franklin street crossing by the southbound passenger train due in Danielson at 9.44 The Dig three-ton motor truck was com pletely demolished reduced to junk and the light locomotive that was hauling the Passenger train was con- siderably damaged, the pilot rods being broken off or twisted under the pilot beam, the forward part of the boiler battered and Q step torn off
 Both young men failed to hear the automatic bell that warns people of approaching trains at this crossing probably being due to the noise made by the heavily loaded truck, which was the property of the Quinebaug Lake Ice company. and which was loaded With three tons of ice at-the time, and the forward part of the machine was practically on the track before they noticed the approaching train, which had gained full speed after leaving the DanleaSon station. nearly half a mile above, on it's way to Wauregan.
 Meun1er, who was driving, leaped out of the high seat he was occupy
 
 rails ahead of the train, eye witnesses said. but his momentum threw him spraWling and he rolled down the banking and out of the way, esca ping Without scratch, though he was somewhat shaken up. Pratt who sat beside him, also attempted to jump clear. but did not succeed in doing so. Some part of the truck or locomotive struck him in his flight, tearing a hole in his back over his right kidney. the aperture being sufficiently large to al low of one inserting a fist in it. He struck in Franklin street, on the east side of the track. and those who first rushed to his aid found blood pouring in stream from the hole in his back and from cuts on his head.
 Hurry calls were sent for physicians. pr. w. H. Judson being the first to respond. Pratt was taken on a stretcher secured from the baggage car of the train to. his home, which is not more than 300 feet from the cross- ing and from the yeranda of which his wlfe witnessed the accident, the effect of It upon her being pitiful.

POETRY
THE HEN.

The hens bird that cannot claim Much beauty as her share, But when she's working at her game The profits always there; Until at last she feels that she Has done her part quite well, And then of course. like you or me, She wants to rest a spell It matters little if just then The price of eggs js high: You find you have an idle hen. And so you sit and sigh And hope that soon she will decide To seek her nest once more, And there each day, with henieh pride Will leave an egg in store But not until the price is low Does she go back to work Somehow. it seems, they always know The proper time to shirk.

SWEET OLD sUMMER APPLES.

Their waxen cheeks are golden as they
 mellow in the sun, And all around the orchards how tho
 bees are havfn' fun: The sweet old summer apples, With their mellow mealy taste, In the happy heart of summer With its songs and blossoms gracedf There's such a lovely altar from the
 orchards as you pass, And the ripened fruit is thudding from
 the trees upon the grass; The sweet old summer apples,
 With their shiny skins of gold, In the dreamy heart of summer When the dreams are growing old. The heart of youth Is happy when the
 summer apples fall. And the Bob Whites from their coverts in the brambled hedges call; The sweet old summer apples
 When the silk is on the corn And the dew has kissed the garden In the heart of summer mornf

MACHINERY AND TOOLS.
Ordered For Putnam's State Trade SchooI-Getting Ready For New Combination Course.
