Perfect weather and good travelling
helped to draw over 100 patrons to the
meeting of Quinebaug Pomona grange
at Canterbury May 10Th in the very
busiest season of the year. The new,
Grange hall recently dedicated and the
excellent dinner in prospect which the
Canterbury matrons know so well how
to prepare were attractions but the
chief magnet was the excellent pro-
gramme furnished by Lecturer Maud
K. Wheeler. The first number was
duet, violin and piano, by Mr.. and
Mrs. Halves of Canterbury. Mr.. Halves
is an expert violinist and his leading
number with encore was greatly en-
jOyed. Mr.. Halves has recently joined
the order and he and Mrs. Halves will
be very helpful members. Miss Lillian
F'rink, the Canterbury lecturer, read
an. original poem. Worthy Master HUI
bert Graves gave some of the history
of the grange and the hall. Miss Will
lams Of Canterbury gave a vocal solo
which was heartily encored. She has
good voice. Brother Hayden of Meadow
Brook gave a Sermon on the Apple"
framed in black which also drew an
encore. Brother c. H. KeIlam of
Woodstock talked on Market Garden
ing and Orcharding, in which lines he
has had years of success. His talk was
interesting and instructive.
Mrs. George Ladd, lecturer Of Massa-
chusetts state grange, spoke of many
phases of grange work. She empha-
sized the growing Importance of dis
tribution problems, when the man who
runs the farm and does the hard work,
gets sufficiently remunerative returns
to make it equally attractive with
other occupations, then the young folks
will be more willing to stay on the old
homesteads. These problems can be
solved only by cooperation. Coop
Grafton means confidence in each other
It Furthermore means that if you have
not the courage and ability to be a
leader, then you must have the conf
dence to follow your leader and-not
kick about it, either.
Country schools should be as good
a 8 those of the cities and should be
kept open all the year, with school
gardens or farms and kitchens to teach
agriculture and domestic science, and
make the young people so efficient as
soil ttllers and the farms so profitable
and the country homes so attractive
that the country would more and more
be recognized as the place to live and
the place TO develop the best possible
type Of citizens.

SCOUTS TAKE EXAMINATION.
Show Remarkable knowledge of the
city-Frederiok c. AlIard Leads.

Remarkable knowledge of the city
and much that pertains to it was
shown by Boy Scouts in undergoing
an examination written and oral, al
the high school. The examination was
conducted by L. o. Williams and by
scout officers.
The boys were asked to answer
many questions about Putnam---as to
its streets and their location, fire
alarm boxes and their location, the
city's manufacturing industries, its
business organization lists of city Of
f1cials, county officials, hotel locations,
drug store locations, physicians
names and their home and office ad-
dresses, the arrival and leaving time
of trains and of trolley cars, dis
tances from this city to many other
points and a score of other subjects.
All showed remarkable knowledge
on the subjects and it is practically
certain that very, very few residents
Of the city could answer one-haf the
questions that the boys did.
First honors were wen by Frederick
G.. Allard, who was given a record
Of s98 points out of a possible 1000.
His showing was really remarkable.
Allard is member OF Troop I. The
other contestants and the number of
points they received follow: BARLEY
Giraca, s01, he being also accredited
to Troop I; S. NJ. Walsh, Troop 2,
$50; Mark F. Hobart. Troop 5, Ss7;
Edward c. Fisher, Troop 2, S48; Jo-
seph D. F1agg. Troop 2, SAT; Donald
Johnson, Troop 2. S39; Dana johnson,
Troop 2, 82S; Oclid Favreault. Troop
I. 1888.
Troop 2, with five members in the
honor list, made the best troop show
ing, and are entitled to special con-
graduation, but all of the boys did
well under the tests that were so try
ing.

Patriotic Exercises In the Cemetery
Fire In Woodbox at Palmer Home.

The exercises in the cemetery here
last Monday were at 10 o'clock as US
ual, and were brief. Only two of the
veterans, Melvin L. Nichols and Jared
H. Stearns, were able to be present.
The drum corps was in attendance,
and four sons of veterans. The pupils
of the public school attended in a
body and sang Battle Hymn of the
Republic" after which they placed
flowers on the graves of the old SOL
diers. They then went to Mansfield
Center to assist in the exercises there.
The lack of general interest in what
the day stands for was manifested by

Woman Driver Careless.
If you are the owner of an auto
mobile and happen to be out riding
with a lady, it may prove to be very
poor policy to let her drive the ma
chine, even though you gain the adj
vantage of free hands. A young lady
who was driving through Dayville on
a recent evening plugged an inno-
cent man who stepped from the side
walk to get aboard a trolley car Those
who witnessed her handling of the
car say that proper action would have
prevented the accident. The man
struck grasped the radiator to save
himself from going down and under
the car. which he succeeded in doing,
but he. was hurt. nevertheless, and
had to be taken to his home near At
tawaugan and has since required
treatment, although he has been able
to be about.

taken is told by a local professional
mar. who was in the vicinity of the
barn hunting woodchucks. A shot
from his rifle at a chuck that was
in good range evidently so startled
the inmates of the Hotel de Gink
that nearly a score of heads imme-
diately popped out from various open

it make? She says she knows she left
it here, because she's perfectly sure
she did and she's been here for an

1T WAS ALMOST TERRIBLE

Mrs. Potter was careless. She was
careless about her clothes, about her
money (and incidentally her hus-
band's), about her handbags, about
packages, about almost everything If
the truth must be told, her pathway
was strewn with misplaced articles Of
various sizes and descriptions and of
greater or less value. In a less adj
mirabIe person this fault might not
have been SO glaring, but as she had
no other flaws in her husbands eyes
this particular trait took on gigantic
proportions TO him.
Its inexcuSable for a grown woman
to be so Needless" Potter remarked
heatedly one evening after he had had
peculiarly exasperating time pur-
suing to it's lair handsome muff
which his wife had carelessly left on
the train.
Mrs. Potter dropped a kiss upon his
bald spot.

well, I'm afraid you'll get a severe

The annoyance of his hunt for the
muff was still ranking to a certain
extent several mornings later, when,
along toward noon, after having spent
most of the morning at home going
over some important papers he paused
beside the table in the reception hall
and scowled down upon a handbag
which lay there

his angry musings. He picked up the
