Although his presence at that partic- ular spot and the fact that he sported clean collar with his Sunday-go-to meeting clothes, betrayed premedita- tion the towns young dandy-every- body knows him-stepped with air of true cavalier and, politely doffing the lid which graceJ the heads of his father and grandfather before him, offered himself as escort.
 But alas due to a slip of the tongue the evening, his kniGhtiy act did not go unnoticed and, anticipating some fun, two Boy Scouts, who had taken in'' the incident from behind a near by pole, put into practice all their knowledge of scoutcraft and followed the couple.

 The ladies in charge of the lectures have received assurance of a large at tendance on each evening and they expect that the affair will result in greatly augmenting the fund.
 The townspeople interested in the success of the plans for better li- brary are deeply appreciative of the generosity of MT. Trumbull, who has offered to give the lecture.

 MT. Trumbull has already given tho lecture on two occasions. speaking be- fore the Camp Fire club, one of the biggest organizations of big game hunters in the country. and the Hart ford Gun club. The pictures and ac- Companying talk were highly praised by both societies.

cocHRAN'S APOLOGY know
that some editors don't like to apollo
gize when they do a fellow an injury.
They think it weakens the influence
of the paper, and go on the theory
that an editor must never let his
readers know about his mistakes.
But I'm not that kind of guy. In
fact, I'd just1as heve apologize as not
when think somebody has an apol-
ogy coming.
So Pm going to publicly apologize
to BERTHE Mccormick, the physically
big editor of the Tribune, for distort-
ing the truth when, on several occa-
sions, / referred to him in these col
umns as MAZE Mccormick. When l
committed that breach of journalistic
ethics was Iaboring along under the
impression that BERTHE was a major
having seen newspaper story to the
effect that he had joined the, state
militia and had started in at the bot
tom of the ladder as a plain, every
day major.
am now informed, however, that
Mccormick is more than q mere ma
jor, being in fact full-fedged colo
mel pronounced KerneD with all the
uniforms, brass buttons, gold lace and
other fixins that go with that job.
