Hit by Car.

Hit by Car.
 Daniel ScofieId of North Mianus was struck by an automobile owned and driven by Frederick S. Wilkes of Shippan Point, Stamford. Thursday night, and sustained several cuts and bruises. His injuries are not ser ious. Scof1eld alighted from troll ley car. and started to cross the road. The machine was going towards Stam- ford. The mud-guard struck him, and he was hurled to one side of the road.
 Attempted Suicide.
 Domestic difficulties are thought to have prompted John Pa1iski of Dan bury to make an attempt to end his own life late Tuesday night. Mir. Pe.- Iiski tried tp hang himself by means of a clothes line from an apple tree in the rear of his home, and but for the fact that Cornelius Dwyer, who lives on the second floor of Pa1isk1's s home, happened to look out of his window and see MT. Paliski jump from the tree, the attempt might have been successful.
 Votes 13 Mill Tax.
 Wilton has voted tax of 13 mills which will yield $19.4o9.47.
 Grip Epidemic in Danbury.
 The worst epidemic of Ia grippe or influenza since 1908 is now spreading through Danbury. and whole families have been stricken with the disease. Some of the doctors have as many as fifty cases in their care at the pres ent time. In some families parents and children have been taken with the disease at the same time and the person who has not at least had a touch of it is among the lucky ones. The first epidenicc of la grippe or in 1uenza in this country was in 1889, and another serious epidemic follow ed in 1892 Since then the epidem- ics have been rare, although one of minor importance broke out in 1908. According to physician the germs of the disease are carried by dust par ticIes of the air and attack the mu- cous membrane of the nose and throat.
 Destroyed by Fire.
 Fire destroyed the barn owned by B.. J.. Lounsbury, of Springda1e, Sat urday forenoon, entailing a loss of over $1,500, partially insured. The origin of the fire is suspicious, accord ing to MT. Lounsbury. Wilton Mans Fortune. C. c. Disbrow of Wilton, who pur- chased an suntested Holstein cow in Syracuse, some time ago. for $500, now has twin calves by this COW, which gre held for $8,0OO, in addition to a price of $3.O00 being held on the COW itself. The reason for the high price of the COW, which is valued at 1 $3S00O, is that during recent test made she gave 32 45-1OO pounds of butter in seven. days.

The meanest man on earth isn't the fellow who steals candy from a blind baby He is the fellow who donates money to establish a training school for. women orators.

 1 The man who won't take a dare has never mOnkeyed with buzzsaw. 1 When the children are attending ] grammar school they ask so many questions that father buys an encyc1o- pedfa and tries to answer them And few years later when the children are in high school they come home and prove to father that he and the encyclo- Redia are both wrong.
